Envy and Jealousy

In the garden.

Qin Sui'an was the first to hear the footsteps and perked up his ears.

"Grandfather is here."

There was another unfamiliar set of footsteps, someone she didn't recognize.

Qin Niexun listened attentively. "It is indeed grandfather, and I believe Old Mr. Ji is also accompanying him."

Lan Jin lovingly looked at her granddaughter in her arms.

"Ann, your ears are truly perceptive, even more so than your Fourth Brother."

Qin Sui'an chuckled, her lips curved with joy.

Assisted by Old Mr. Ji, Lan Jin arrived in the garden.

He scanned the area but found no one.

He furrowed his brows. "Qin Huo, are you playing a trick on me? There's no one here."

Qin Huo snorted. "What's the rush?"

Familiar with the surroundings, Lan Jin walked ahead and settled beside a cluster of flowers, placing his cane down before slowly sitting.

Through the gaps in the flowers, he first saw his grandsons sitting on the outer edge, their eyes revealing a hint of disdain.
