Old Master Anâs eyes swept over Anxinâs head indifferently, and he turned to look at Anhao.
âAnhao, how did you sleep last night?â
Anhao turned around and smiled at Grandpa An.ââI slept very well. Thank you for your concern, Old An. But why is Old An here so early?â
When Elder An saw Anhao, he somehow felt his mood improve as well. He felt that this child was inexplicably intimate. He smiled and walked over.âIâm here to ask you to have breakfast.â
Anhao looked at the time.â Itâs almost eight oâclock now. Donât tell me you havenât had breakfast yet?ââ
âIf it was any other time, I would have eaten long ago. Anyway, Iâm alone, so I donât have to wait for anyone.âElder An smiled and said,â Today is different. Iâve been waiting for you and Hancheng to go over. If it wasnât for the servant saying that young people like you have the habit of lazing around in bed and should let you sleep a little longer, I would have come over at around six oâclock.â
As he spoke, Grandpa An looked behind Anhao and asked with a smile,ââWhereâs Han Cheng? He had always been self-disciplined when he was young. It was impossible that he had not woken up yet.â
âHe did wake up very early, but there are some things he needs to deal with at Shengling Group, so heâs still busy in his room.âAnhao casually found an excuse to cover up the fact that Zuo Hancheng was injured.
â Alright.â Elder An nodded.â Then, when youâre done with your work in Han City, remember to come for breakfast.ââ
âAlright, Elder An, you can go and eat first. Thereâs no need to wait for usâ¦â
âHow can that do? Youâre guests. Let Han Cheng finish his work quickly and have a good breakfast with me. The house is usually not so lively. Iâm looking forward to every meal only when you two are here.â
Old Master An said as he looked at Anhaoâs outfit. It was a simple white dress. Although there was no brand on the dress, it was obvious that it was a high-end custom-made dress. Her soft long hair was casually tied into a neat ponytail at the back of her head. She looked energetic and clean, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
On the other hand, Old Master An seemed to have just remembered his so-called granddaughter, Anxin, who had been neglected. He ignored the repressed emotions on Anxinâs face and only glanced at her clothes indifferently.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She was a girl who grew up in the orphanage. After she came to the An family, not only did she forget her frugal nature, but she also liked to carry bags with especially big logo like a nouveau riche. For example, Chanel and Hermes. The clothes she wore were definitely the latest styles of luxury brands every year. None of the clothes cost less than 10,000 yuan.
Even her hair had to be specially styled and maintained at the hair salon every few months. She did not have the so-called style of a socialite at all. Instead, she was a complete nouveau riche. She wanted the whole world to know that she was wearing Chanel and Tiffany, wearing limited-edition custom-made high heels, and using a diamond-studded phone.
After a cursory glance at Anxin, Old Master Anâs heart felt stifled. His gaze then fell on Anhaoâs white dress. Seeing that she was wearing a loose dress, he suddenly said,â How long have you and Hancheng been married?â
âA few years, but I went to Boston to study for three years, so the actual time we spent together was less than a year.âAnhao answered honestly.
âThen itâs indeed time to have a child.âGrandpa An smiled as he looked at Anhaoâs clothes.ââYouâre wearing such loose clothes. Donât tell me you already have one?â
Previously, Old Master An was jealous because Old Zuo might soon be carrying a great-grandson. Although he still looked jealous now, he at least had some manners in front of her, a junior.
Seeing Old Master Anâs smiling expression, Anhao curled her lips.ââI donât think soâ¦â
She was glad that she didnât have it yet. After all, she was injured not long ago, and she was poisoned by snake venom. She used serum to expel the poison. If she really had it at that time, it wouldnât be good for the child.
When Elder An heard her answer, he did not continue to dwell on this question. He only smiled and said,âThere will be young people sooner or later. Itâs a pity that this old man will not be able to carry a great-grandson in this lifetimeâ¦â
With that, he turned around with a melancholic expression and said as he walked,âGo tell Han Cheng that Iâm still waiting for you guys to have breakfast.â
âAlright.â â Okay,â Anhao replied. She shifted her gaze away from Old Master An and turned to look at Anxin, who was still standing not far away from her.
However, Anxinâs expression was very ugly because she had been deliberately ignored by Elder An. However, she had no choice but to hide her emotions.
âMiss An.â âYou came to the guest room so early in the morning. Iâm curious what you meant by that sentence just now.â Anhao said.â
She felt relieved because Grandpa Shen would rather wait for Anhao to eat with him than take her, who also didnât eat breakfast, seriously. When she heard Anhaoâs voice, she suddenly turned to look at Anhao.
âIf you call me Ms. Anderson, what should I call you?âAnxin looked at her coldly with an unpleasant expression. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows and smiled.âIt canât be Mrs. Zuo, right?â
âYou can call me whatever you want. Ms. An and I didnât get the chance to greet each other in the restaurant yesterday, but this is the second time weâve met.âAnhaoâs lukewarm smile did not reach her eyes.
âSpeaking of this second meetingâ¦â Anxin suddenly took a step forward, not giving Anhao a chance to leave. She stared at Anhaoâs face with a burning fire in her eyes,ââLast time at the hospital in Los Angeles, did you deliberately find an opportunity to get close to us?â
Anhaoâs gaze swept across her face.ââOn purpose?â
Seeing the disdain in Anhaoâs eyes, Anxin immediately glared at her arrogantly.ââIsnât that so? What peach-flavored drink? Do you dare to say that you didnât do it on purpose? You deliberately let my mom notice you!â
The more Anxin looked at her, the more she felt that the charm between her and her was indeed somewhat similar. When she thought of her motherâs excited expression when she saw her at the orphanage eight years ago, her heart was filled with sorrow and inexplicable fear.
âIâm afraid youâre overthinking things, Ms. An.â Anhaoâs attitude was calm.â Iâm sorry. I still have to ask Mr. Zuo to accompany Elder An for breakfast. Please excuse me.ââ
After saying that, Anhao turned around and walked back.
The room was quiet, and only the sound of Anhaoâs shoes stepping on the stairs could be heard.
Anxin stared at her back and suddenly walked in. She looked at Anhao at the bottom of the stairs and asked in a barely audible voice,ââWhatâs your relationship with my mother?â
Anhao acted as if she didnât hear him. She looked down at Anxin, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, and walked up without answering.
