Charlie recognizes that this is the perfect moment for a bluff.


    The ne carrying the three elders of the Qing Dynasty circled back over the ocean, signaling that Sara was already feeling frightened.


    Since fear has set in, it’s time to seize the opportunity.


    The An family won’t be leaving Aurous Hill anytime soon, and they likely still have their informant within the Po Qinghui. By spreading the word now, they can create a ripple effect that intimidates their opponents.


    Currently, the An family ces immense trust in Charlie. Given his confidence, everyone is on board with his n and is ready to move forward with it.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As for Tablita’s husband, Charlie isn’t rushing to investigate him just yet. He believes that as long as the An family maintains a strong front and prevents anyone with a different surname from prying into their affairs, they can stabilize the situation.


    With the threat Sara has received, it’s certain she won’t target the An family again, allowing them to rx for the time being.


    During dinner, Charlie shared a toast with his grandfather, three uncles, and Li Yalin.


    Grandma and Aunt also enjoyed a few sses of red wine, and the family atmosphere grew increasingly lively.


    Grandma couldn’t contain herself and asked, “Charlie, you’ve been married for four years now. When will I get to meet my grandson and daughter-inw? I feel like you’re one in a million. I’ve been waiting for years, and if you disappoint me again, I’ll be heartbroken…”


    Charlie felt a headacheing on and quickly replied, “Grandma, about that…I’m not sure what to do right now, so I can only put it off for now.”


    His grandfather chimed in, “Charlie, it’s fine to dy it for now. But have you considered that your daughter is of marrying age? If you keep putting it off, what if one day she decides not to wait for you and marries someone else? How would that make you feel?”


    Charlie felt a swirl of emotions at his grandfather’s words and wasn’t sure how to respond.


    At that moment, Asher interjected, “Dad, Mom, this rtionship issue is Charlie’s personal matter. It’s best if we let him make his own decisions.”


    The old man nodded slightly, lifted his wine ss, and said, “Charlie, let’s have another drink!”


    As the family dinner began to wind down, it was clear that everyone but Charlie had indulged a bit too much.


    Charlie was still preupied with the thought of seeing Lin Wan’er (ni), so he announced, “Grandpa and Grandma, it’s gettingte. You two should head to bed. I need to meet a friend, so I’ll visit again another time.”


    Grandma quickly responded, “Charlie, are you leaving?”<fn9cb2> Discover more novels at Find?Novel</fn9cb2>


    He nodded, exining, “I have an appointment with a friend and it’s quitete, so I can’t dy any longer.”


    His grandfather felt a hint of reluctance but encouraged him, saying, “Charlie, if you have something to do, go ahead. Your grandparents and your aunts and uncles are staying put in Aurous Hill, soe by whenever you have time.”


    “Okay, Grandpa,” Charlie agreed, then remembered something important. “By the way, Grandpa, please avoid Wanliu Vi for now; stay here instead. My people are keeping an eye on things, and it’s safer and more convenient.”


    Grandpa nodded and replied without a second thought, “Charlie, don’t worry. From now on, we’ll follow your lead on everything!”


    Grandma chimed in, “Charlie, you’ve been drinking, so don’t drive. Let your second uncle arrange for you to have a designated driver.”
