Rebirth of the Little Actor – Chapter 10
10 – Anyway …… paternity tests are pretty fast
One weekend a month later in his last life, the An Hao family brought Ning Rong to their door at dinnertime and dropped a bomb. A bomb that blew up their whole family with nothing to think about.
The truth of carrying the wrong child made him terrified, made Shen Ying faint on the spot, and made An Zhaoming anxious about his wife and his two children, yet he still had to go to the company for a meeting the next day pretending that nothing had happened right after a night of war.
It was not until after this incident that An Zhaoming finally removed the filter on his own brother, and realized that whether it was his brother or nephew, his affinity for his own family was more limited than he had imagined. He was wary, but Ning Rong had a knot in his heart against them and trusted Second Uncle An more.
In this life, An Xing decided to reveal the truth on his own, and by doing so, he would inevitably leave the Second Uncle’s family lacking in opportunity for exposure – although An Zhaoming had seen the undercurrents between An Hao and his son at the company, but only thought that it was a competition between young people, and didn’t think any deeper than that.
Therefore, An Xing thought of using the rumors in the company to draw An Zhaoming’s line of sight to the family of Second Uncle An.
When An Zhaoming reveals his shock and anger, a young man like An Hao becomes a bit subdued and moves slightly. An Xing ignored it and continued to hold up his paw to indignantly complain to his father, as if he was a swearing and grumbling kitten.
“Yeah! The last time I went to the bathroom, I heard someone outside talking, and saying something about how I don’t know anything about business at all, and how I don’t look like a child of the An family at all.”
An Zhaoming became furious: “Nonsense! That’s because you inherited your mom’s artistic talent! It means your mom’s genes are better than mine!”
Shen Ying, who was showing signs of irritation, stalled: ……
Uncle An, who wanted to counsel in the dark, was dumbfounded: ……
Only An Xing revealed a look of strong approval and righteous indignation.
“That’s right! I’m clearly a bit more like mom! After all, I’m so good looking and so artistically talented!”
The fate between mother and child is just like the fate between husband and wife. It has its own destiny and is not entirely dependent on blood. An Xing has been much less interested in mathematics and science courses than in literature and history courses since he was a child, and he showed great interest in art early on. Just like Shen Ying, his talent lies in art.
Most people would get angry if a son was said to be unworthy of his father. An Zhaoming lost a lot of his anger when he heard An Xing’s proud declaration and nodded with satisfaction.
“You misunderstood those people, that’s not what they meant.”
When An Xing and An Zhaoming were in love with each other as father and son, Tan Xiu a didn’t stop them, but An Hao opened his mouth in a sulky manner.
“What they mean is that you are not suitable to develop in the direction of a leader ……”
An Xing waited for An Hao’s words, and his spirit lifted, so he entered the scene in a second.
“I know I’m not suitable, but I did try to learn ah.”
The teenager wrinkled his small round face, and he was so aggrieved that it seemed like he was about to cry.
“But those people are so over the line, saying that kind of thing and randomly guessing about other people’s families, it’s just too unsophisticated!”
An Xing thought of a shrimp that had accidentally fallen on the floor during lunch because he hadn’t held it properly and had just peeled off the shell, his heart ached so much that he couldn’t breathe, and his light curry colored eyes looked over with dampness.
“Don’t you think so cousin?”
An Hao: ……
An Hao simply couldn’t strain the expression on his face and cursed out. Did he say that? If he wanted him to say it, An Xing deserved to get out of An Ning Jewelry honestly!
In his preconceived notions, An Xing would find out after he entered An Ning Jewelry as an intern that he was simply a good-for-nothing fool who could not become a director of a company at all. After recognizing that he was not strong enough to inherit the company in the future, he should obediently roll back to be a waste of space in the mansion and beg for food under him later ……
“An Xing is right, casually guessing about other people’s families, this behavior is indeed very unreasonable.”
A voice interrupted An Hao’s conjecture, and he instantly snapped back to his senses, a cold sweat seeping out from the back of his neck as he closed his mouth and stopped speaking.
Tan Xiu sat in the sofa, looking at An Xing like a model elder, dignified and tolerant.
“Just, what are you going to do, An Xing? Is someone inside the company going to fire them for gossiping? Even though An Ning Jewelry is a private company, such behavior will still be criticized when it gets out.”
My God, this second aunt is so good at putting labels on him, isn’t she? He didn’t even say he was going to fire them. If this word got out, people would think he was arrogant and bossy!
An Xing wanted to speak but stopped, looking for a backer to lean on, and looked at his father in resignation.
An Zhaoming’s face was solemn.
“If someone really says such excessive gossip, it is definitely necessary to pull them out – knowing that they are in the private sector, they still can’t remember to be careful with their words! Today those people can say bad things about Xingxing, tomorrow they would be able to say something insignificant in front of An Ning Jewelry’s important partners!”
Just say it, after all, the nature of mankind is to eat melon. But eating melon is also has basic principles, such as not exaggerating the spread of eating melon, such as not eating melon in their faces is a basic courtesy.
——Don’t know how to avoid gossiping about my boss’s family, but you still let the boss’s son hear it with his own ears. Such a careless employee will do bad things sooner or later!
An Zhaoming revealed the grim look of a capitalist and patted his son.
“I’ll have someone check on Monday, and find out who’s not working properly in private, and net spreading some groundless gossip!”
An Hao still wanted to say something, but was given a look by Tan Xiu and could only shut up. An Zhaoyuan, on the other hand, laughingly said:
“Just investigate, an employee who doesn’t know what’s important, how is he worthy of gossiping about our Xingxing.”
An Xing seriously said, “This kind of speculation about other people’s words shouldn’t be said regardless of who you are talking to.”
“Well well well, my little nephew is a man of honor!” An Zhaoyuan laughed, “Big brother ah, let’s just start eating, it’s already time for dinner.”
Shen Ying, who had been silent all this time, only then did she gracefully get up.
“I’ll have Miss Zhang bring out the meal, everyone come to the dining room.”
This meal, no matter how others were eating, An Xing was very satisfied after all. Those rumors in the company had made him tangled up for a while, but when he thought about it, it was useless to get tangled up, either find out who spread them and solve the problem at the source, or, wouldn’t it be better to make them shut up?
Anyway, …… the paternity test is quite fast, it is estimated that in the next two days, Lu Tian Shen can give him the results.
An Xing looked up from his rice bowl, looked at Shen Ying, then looked at An Zhaoming, and lowered his head again.
He had thought of many ways, such as having someone mention that he didn’t seem to look much like either of them to arouse suspicion.
But perhaps it was fate that both he and Shen Ying had almond eyes and noses that resembled An Zhaoming’s. He was also a match for their blood type, so there was nothing to make an issue of.
After thinking about it, in the short term, the only way to minimize the damage was for him to take the paternity report and show it to them.
An Xing secretly sighed, raised his smiling face, and gave his mom and dad some food.

When An Hao sat in the car, he closed the door without holding back and used some force to slam the door.
“What are you angry about? It is just that An Xing took advantage of some of his words.”
Tan Xiu sat in the backseat, frowning as she reprimanded her son.
“Usually you pretend to be calm, why are you so sulky in front of An Xing.”
An Hao twisted his head.
“Mom, An Xing doesn’t even deserve to inherit An Ning Jewelry ……”
“That’s why I asked you to suppress him in the marketing department!” Tan Xiu interrupted sharply, “Just put an end to his inexplicable idea of joining the company to help his father. But what about you? Not only did you not end his inexplicable idea, but evenlet him go to the design department!”
An Hao was silent for a moment, and only after a long time did he say sullenly, “How could I have thought that he would be so pretentious, I’ve only been tossing him around for a week, and he already couldn’t take it anymore.”
Tan Xiu glared at her son.
Originally, she had not put An Xing in her eyes at all, after all, An Xing studied art, and An Hao, who had graduated in economics and management and entered the company’s management at an early age, was completely incomparable. In the future, as long as An Zhaoming stepped down, An Ning Jewelry certainly will not be handed over to the An Xing who does not know anything, and it is only natural to be handed over to her son’s hands.
Who would have known that An Xing, the boy, didn’t know what was wrong with him, and suddenly said that he wanted to study, and then joined An Ning Jewelry as an intern.
Tan Xiu taught her son, to cheat An Xing to intern in the marketing department, which is convenient for close monitoring, and also can be suppressed everywhere, sooner or later it will let An Xing understand that he is not suitable for inheritance of the An Ning Jewelry. But who knows, that An Xing is so delicate, and can’t stand it after just being targeted for a week.
And An Zhaoming was so indulgent that he directly stuffed An Xing into the design department.
You know, a jewelry company, although the marketing department is the most productive place, but the design department is the core!
The car quieted down, and Second Uncle An drove quietly, not daring to speak. After another good while, Tan Xiu’s calm voice resounded in the car.
“Don’t worry about An Xing for now, you also be honest in the company for now, I have a way.”

In the An family villa, An Xing ate and drank enough and rubbed his stomach. He and Shen Ying are walking around in the garden to digest their food.
Shen Ying looked at her carefree and silly son, hesitated for a split second and asked softly:
“Xingxing ah, is your cousin treating you badly at the company?”
An Xing gave a puzzled “hmm”, and quickly realized that Shen Ying was looking at An Hao’s performance before the meal, and could see that An Hao was even more cold and unfeeling than she thought he was.
Most people in the An family’s generation are not only children, and the relationship between brothers and sisters is very deep, so they thought that the younger generation who were only children would have a deep relationship even if they were cousins.
But in reality, feelings are all about getting along. It is only when they get along with each other day and night and share the same hardships that they can have a close relationship, and when it comes to the younger generation, there will be no relationship unless you get along with each other.
Of course, this is not to say that there is no affection between cousins. An Xing and An Hao were not close purely because An Hao was a bad guy.
The teenager took his mother’s shoulders, pretending to be mature, but still speaking like a spoiled brat.
“Don’t worry mom, I don’t care what he does to me, My other cousins are so kind to me!”
After the truth came out in his last life, even after knowing that he was not Shen Ying’s child, the Shen family’s cousins still called him and told him not to care about that, and they still regarded him as a younger brother.
Who doesn’t like to be favored with partiality, An Xing thought contentedly. Who cares how An Hao is, with his cousins, he’s content!
Shen Ying laughed out at once, her finger pointing to An Xing’s forehead.
“Yes, your cousins like you.”
She paused again.
“Didn’t Xingxing have an appointment with someone else during the summer vacation? I see you’ve been on vacation for almost a month and you’re still doing your internship.”
“Aiya, there’s no rush about going out to play, wait for me to learn something first, there’s still a month left in the vacation anyway.”
An Xing shook his head.
What’s there to play right now, it would be better to focus on recognizing relatives first. If it’s quick, when the matter of recognizing the parentage is done, the whole family can still go on a trip together to cultivate their feelings.
After all, the results of the paternity test would be out in the next two days.
