Chapter 847: Chapter 847: The Wedding I Owe You (1)

This was not the first time she had bumped into Elder An while talking about these secrets. She did not know how much he had heard.

Anyways, Anhao was looking at Elder An’s direction with a complicated expression in her eyes.

An Ping turned around because of Anhao’s gaze. When she saw Elder An appear, she immediately suppressed her emotions that were about to collapse. However, there were still red marks in her eyes from crying, causing Elder An, who had already walked closer, to look at them with a lonely and solemn expression.

“It’s already so late. It’s not strange for Anhao and Hancheng, two young people, to be unable to sleep and take a walk in the An Residence.”Elder An’s voice sounded extremely oppressive at this moment. At the same time, his old but distinct gaze was somewhat sharp as he looked into An Ping’s slightly red eyes. Everyone standing there was sensitive enough to detect a trace of abnormality in his attitude.

Elder An immediately turned to look at Anhao, only to see that Anhao’s eyes were indifferent. Zuo Hancheng’s side profile was cold, but he stood beside Anhao. In front of them, there was an invisible and discernible sense of oppression.

“Dad.” An Ping collected her emotions and turned to face Elder An. However, a trace of hatred that was similar to Anhao’s flashed across her eyes. Although An Ping’s voice was filled with respect, it was obvious that she did not put any emotion into this form of address.

“What are you guys talking about here? I heard Anhao talking when I got closer. What harm? What adopted daughter? What fight? Did Anxin say something she shouldn’t have in front of you? Or was there something wrong with the An family?”

It wasn’t that Anhao couldn’t hear the probing tone in Elder An’s ordinary-sounding words. Anhao curled her lips and didn’t say anything else.

Actually, she was also very curious about how long An Ping planned to hide it from Old Master An.

After all, she was no longer the fourteen-year-old she was. Even if Old An did not recognize her when the truth came out and chased her away, she would not have to live on the streets because she was too young and could not make a living.

The truth was so close to her, but An Ping stubbornly did not reveal it to Old Master An.

Anhao remembered that when she was young, her mother was a brave, strong, and strong-willed woman. She was definitely not the woman in front of her, who had not aged much after the baptism of time, but whose eyes were obviously dim and even compromised with fate.

“I feel like I’ve returned to my own home at the Andersons. How can there be anything that I don’t like?”Anhao suddenly opened her mouth, but her words contained many layers of meaning.

Elder An also felt that there was something in her words, but Anhao’s gaze did not give him any more information. She raised her hand to tuck the stray hair on her cheek behind her ear and said with a clean smile,””As you know, I’ve been preparing for pregnancy recently, but I fell ill a few days ago and haven’t been feeling very well. Now, I’m planning to go back and find a familiar doctor to help me check on my physical condition, so I might not be able to stay for a few more days.”

After hearing Anhao’s explanation, Elder An did not say anything at first. Instead, he suddenly turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, as if he wanted to get a definite answer from him.

However, Zuo Hancheng’s cold and sharp gaze was almost imperceptible. Although it was well concealed by the stable and calm smile on the surface, Elder An had lived for so long that he could not even see this.

The reason why Zuo Hancheng and Anhao came to the An family was indeed as he had thought. It was definitely not simple.

What he had never expected was that this matter seemed to be related to An Ping.

Then, he looked at Anping’s seemingly calm face and the red marks in her eyes that had yet to fade. His gaze swept across her face, and then suddenly landed on Anhao’s face.

“It’s not uncommon to see people who look alike in this world.”Grandpa An suddenly spoke, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Anhao.”” Previously, Anxin’s charm was similar to Anhao’s. Now that I’m standing here, I realize that Anhao and your Aunty An are even more alike. There are only a few people in the An family, but there are three women in total who look so similar. If I wasn’t sure that you’re the Madam of Han City and not some swindler, I would have suspected something…”

Elder An’s words were very meaningful and had a very strong purpose. When he said this, he looked at Anhao’s face with a smile in his eyes, but when his gaze fell on Anping’s face, his eyes carried a hint of coldness as if he was interrogating her.

“Dad, Anhao and Hancheng are fated to be with me. I was just talking to Anhao about her childhood. I feel sorry for her, but I can’t bear to let them leave so soon.”An Ping suddenly opened her mouth, her voice carrying a suppressed calmness.” It’s rare for a young man to hit it off so well with me. Hancheng has made a name for himself at such a young age. He never relied on the Zuo family’s assets, nor did he take over the family business because he was the heir of the Zuo family. On the contrary, Shengling Group, which he founded, had a deep influence in America at that time. Later, it moved to China. As an elder, my achievements and reputation over the years have made me sigh.”

At this point, An Ping seemed to have unintentionally brought the topic back to Anhao.” And Anhao. Although she’s young, she’s smart, sensible, and cultured. She’s the same age as Anxin, so I always treat her like my own daughter. I really wanted to keep them for a few more days, so I chatted with them a little more.”

Grandpa An continued to look at Anhao without batting an eyelid. His gaze lingered on Anhao’s face for a long time before he said coldly,””Of course Mrs. Zuo is much better than your adopted daughter. How can a daughter-in-law who is protected by Hancheng be like Anxin, who is spoiled by you? Comparing Anxin with Anhao, I think you’re thinking too much. Mrs. Zuo isn’t just someone else’s granddaughter-in-law, she’s also someone else’s child. No matter how envious you are, it’s not yours.”

The old master’s words were completely sarcastic, but An Ping was not unhappy at all. Instead, she looked at Anhao and smiled.”Yeah, I envy Anhao’s mother for having such an outstanding daughter.”

Anhao was too lazy to analyze the conversation between father and daughter. However, Old Master An had already started to suspect something, or perhaps he already knew something. She could tell from his attitude.

“Elder An, you don’t have to praise me like that. I was once just a child who was abandoned by my own mother. In the past, my rebellious and willful nature was more troublesome than An Xin. It’s just that Zuo Hancheng has been by my side all these years to establish a correct outlook on life for me, so I’m no longer as ridiculous as before.”
