Rebirth of the Little Actor – Chapter 30
30 – An Xing held the appraisal report and was still a little taken back.
An Xing’s hand was pinched again and again, he finally couldn’t help it, and drew it out and hit him with a backhand.
“Splash!”
It failed and hit the quilt.
Ning Rong, who was very experienced in playing with cats at a friend’s house, came back to his senses. When he saw the boy’s round almond-shaped eyes, he felt that the boy looked more like a cat.
An Xing angrily asked Ning Rong with a sullen round face: “Did you use my paw… bah, did you use my hand as a cat’s paw?”
Ning Rong’s eyes wandered for a moment, and then quickly turned back: “Why do you think so?”
“Because Shen often pinch my hand like this!”
“No pinching!”
Ning Rong coughed and couldn’t help but tease again, “So your brother Shen can pinch, but I can’t?”
Geez, this person not only wants to be his brother, but also wants to have the right to pinch his paw just like Brother Shen!
An Xing firmly refused and gave reasons with vigor.
“Brother Shen is different from you guys, he’s not coveting my hand, it’s because he feels happy with me!”
Ning Rong:?
An Xing glanced at Ning Rong warily, rubbed his back, hid his hand, and then continued:
“Brother Shen is not that shallow, even if he doesn’t have such good hands as mine, Brother Shen still likes to play with me, pursuing the pleasure of the soul!”
“Do you think you are pursuing this kind of advanced thing?”
Ning Rong: ……
Ning Rong fell into silence. On the one hand, he felt that this little fool believes everything others said. On the other hand, he thought that the man named Lu was so mean to say sweet words to the little fool!
Seeing the honesty of the boy, An Xing urged.
“Don’t change the subject, what’s going on with the photos? Did you meet An Hao yesterday?”
Ning Rong returned to her senses and answered indifferently.
“I went out to buy groceries last night, and this man stopped me, saying that I looked familiar.”
The man was young and elegant, with the easygoing look of a fluttering gentleman, with a cordial eagerness on his face. When he had stopped Ning Rong, the man had spoken well, but his micro-expressions were really not up to par – the corners of his eyes carried a superiority.
Although he looked quite cold, Ning Rong actually didn’t have a good temper, and seeing that the man’s words weren’t right and he was pretending in his favor, he turned around at that time and walked away. The man also seemed to have not expected Ning Rong to walk away so crisply, and froze in place for quite a while before his face changed drastically as he caught up with him.
“Tell me something first, what’s the situation with this An Hao, be more specific.”
Just after the words left his mouth, Ning Rong regretted it a little. Normally when he was with his friends, he was used to taking ideas and giving orders, and talking to An Xing like this, he didn’t know if this young master would get angry.
“Oh, he’s four years older than us, he’s dad’s brother’s son.”
An Xing answered obediently, oblivious to Ning Rong’s tone, after all, when he usually spends time with his family and friends, he is used to listening to their decisions.
“He graduated and went to An Ning Jewelry, and now he’s already a group leader in the marketing department, doing a pretty good job.”
Hesitating for a few seconds, An Xing felt that there was nothing to hide and continued:
“There’s also …… the fact that he doesn’t like me much.”
“Hmm?” Ning Rong was stunned, “Doesn’t like you?”
“It’s …… anyway, doesn’t like me very much.”
An Xing kinda wanted to talk about how An Hao was all against him, but looking at Ning Rong, he was a bit hesitant.
Speaking of which, in his last life, Ning Rong had a knot in his heart towards them, and An Xing had always suspected that it was An Hao who provoked it. Otherwise it’s a good thing, and they didn’t do anything to Ning Rong ah, why was Ning Rong so cold?
But besides that, An Hao was really quite good to Ning Rong.
According to the young masters’ gossip group, during that time, it was An Hao who brought Ning Rong in and out of various social occasions to introduce Ning Rong’s identity. Moreover, when Ning Rong didn’t go back to the An family, and the Ning family’s house was occupied by Ning’s eldest uncle, he was staying at An Hao’s house. Not to mention that An Hao had repeatedly lashed out at him for Ning Rong.
After all, he was not from the An family. An Xing felt that just because he and An Hao didn’t get along well, he was sowing discord and making Ning Rong have a problem with An Hao – then what was the difference between what he and An Hao had done in his last life!
“Anyway, the two of us can’t get along, so maybe you guys can get along better.”
The teenager said vaguely, and Ning Rong glanced at him, his heart’s evaluation of An Hao, however, dropped again.
To have a problem with this kind of little fool, how bad of a person must that person be.
Ning Rong continued, “After he caught up with me, he said that he saw that I looked very familiar, and that I looked a lot like their family members, and that they suspected that they had carried the wrong child back in the day.”
“!!!”
An Xing was dumbfounded, and it took him half a day to come back to his senses.
Good heavens, An Hao and their family, really had suspicions in their hearts a long time ago and started to check ah!
So why on earth did they have suspicions? Just because he was too stupid and couldn’t manage a business?
But soon An Xing remembered that according to his mom, the second aunt was also at the hospital when they were born back then. It should be that after the news of the Ning family couple’s accident came out, the second aunt’s side heard the news, and because she had seen the Ning family couple and learned about Ning Rong being carried by the wrong person, she became suspicious, right?
None of this mattered, An Xing came over and asked nervously:
“And then? What did you talk to him about?”
“Nothing, it’s not like I know him.” Ning Rong faintly said, “I told him condolences and left.”
Then hiding in the corner, he took a picture of the man’s back.
Ning Rong had the information advantage on his side, and when he heard An Hao finish his name, he realized the identity of this person. But he didn’t acknowledge his family with An Hao, because he wasn’t a fool.
If the An family carried the wrong child, naturally the child’s parents should come to him, so what would an outsider do? Not to mention the brotherly love, look at the speed at which his eldest uncle changed his face after his father’s death, Ning Rong still understood sibling rivalry better.
Besides, the condescension in the bottom of that man’s eyes was something he disliked. An Hao looked down on him, Ning Rong could feel it.
The boy clearly had no favoritism towards An Hao, and An Xing froze for a few seconds before suddenly diving headfirst into the quilt and laughing with a giggle.
Hi-yah, this wasn’t him stirring up trouble, it was Ning Rong himself who didn’t like An Hao. This kind of feeling, it’s kind of cool that is going on!
An Xing felt that in this life, Ning Rong getting along well with his family was definitely a sure thing!
He got out from under the covers, picked on Ning Rong, and said generously:
“I’ll give you the kryptonite, and you take me to play the game!”
*
The day at the An Family, whether it was the An Family couple, or Ning Rong and An Xing, they all had a very pleasant time, and it was An Zhaoming who sent Ning Rong back in the evening.
Because of An Xing’s efforts to liven up the atmosphere and help Ning Rong get along with the family, An Zhaoming came back and generously gave him a red packet.
By the second day it was a working day, but An Zhaoming didn’t have the heart to go to the company at all, took leave and brought the family to pick up Ning Rong again, and went to the police station together to get the results.
“Brother Shen Shen!”
Before An Xing even got out of the car, he saw Lu Tian Shen standing next to the police car through the window and waved hard at the man.
The man was dressed more casually today, and when he turned around and saw the An family, his long legs in casual pants took a few steps over. “An Xing.”
The young man lowered his head and smiled at the teenager first, then greeted An Zhaoming and Shen Ying before finally setting his eyes on Ning Rong.
Ning Rong was also carefully sizing up Lu Tian Shen.
I can’t tell, he looks like a human being, and he’s quite good at talking sweet words. He obviously covets the little fool, and his paws are soft when pinched, so there is no spiritual pleasure.
“Tian Shen ah, in the future, our family Rong Rong will also need to rely on you to take more care of him.”
An Zhaoming came out of the car and patted Lu Tian Shen’s shoulder with a smile.
Hearing this, the scrutiny in Lu Tian Shen’s eyes lessened. He knew very well that if Ning Rong was unfriendly to An Xing, Uncle An would never have made such a request of him.
He nodded towards Ning Rong, and the boy faintly called out “Brother Lu”.
The sense of absolute distance made each other very satisfied.
An Xing had long ago come over and curiously looked at the person who had just spoken to Lu Tian Shen. The man was wearing a uniform and had a smart aura. He also looked at An Xing curiously and smiled politely at him.
“I still have things to do over there, so I’ll leave first.”
The man said towards Lu Tian Shen. Lu Tian Shen nodded towards him as well.
Waiting for the man to walk away, An Xing came over and tilted his head to ask in a small voice, “Brother Shen, who is this?”
The man cooperatively bowed his head slightly and replied in a low voice, “A friend I met in the capital.”
An Xing let out a “wow” and understood.
“Let’s go, I’ll accompany you to see the appraisal results.” Lu Tian Shen said to An Zhaoming and Shen Ying, “I’ve come in advance to make an appointment, so you can go there directly.”
The An family had long been used to the other party’s thorough preparation when Lu Tian Shen was present, and they all directly followed. Ning Rong looked at this family and followed along with a feeling of impatience.
Forget about the little fool, you two parents with big eyebrows and big eyes, you have no doubt about this person.
This time, the appraisal was done by the police department, and only after several people showed up and presented their IDs did the police hand over the results to them.
An Zhaoming and Shen Ying opened the results together, and both An Xing and Ning Rong came over.
It was exactly the same words as Ning Rong’s copy of the paternity report, only this time, test material 1 and test material 2 were the Ning family couple, and test material 3 was An Xing.
The results came out that An Xing was the child of the Ning family couple. Back then, it was the An family and the Ning family who had carried the wrong child.
An Xing held the appraisal report and was still a little taken back.
An Xing was sad to see the previous appraisal report with An Zhaoming, because An Zhaoming and Shen Ying were his real parents who had been together day and night for twenty years. He had a deep relationship with them, and even though he had known about it for a long time, it still felt uncomfortable to see the test reports that they were not related by blood.
But not only did he never get along with the Ning family couple, the two of them are now dead. An Xing’s mood at the moment was more complicated than sad.
It was such a coincidence that it was him and Ning Rong who held the wrong one. He had grown up in the golden splendor of the An family, while his real parents had died while teaching.
Even till their deaths, they didn’t know that their child was someone else.
A hand covered his head, and without turning around, An Xing knew it was Lu Tian Shen. He skillfully rubbed against the man’s palm and met a pair of concerned eyes.
An Xing’s heart warmed slightly and muttered, “I’m fine ah, I just, finally know who my mom and dad are ……”
He said this so softly that Ning Rong, who was at the side, closed his eyes.
Fortunately, his parents’ child hadn’t suffered in an unoccupied corner as he had guessed at the worst outcome when he first learned the truth. Their child grew up healthy and happy, and also …… was a good child.
Shen Ying’s tears instantly came out, and she wrapped her arms around the teenager.
“Woo woo xingxing you are also a mom’s child ah!”
An Zhaoming even had tears in his tiger’s eyes, and after wrapping his arm around his wife and cub, his other arm swept his son over as well.
“We are a family! Even if we’re not related by blood, we’re still a family!”
Ning Rong: ……
Hands down, Lu Tian Shen: ……
An Zhaoming’s emotional outburst was only for a moment, after all, this was a police station, and it wasn’t good to cry for too long. He quickly calmed down, let go of his wife and child, and went to thank the police, following to make a record.
An Xing climbed out of Shen Ying’s arms and comforted the woman.
“Of course I am a mommy’s child ah, I am …….”
He hesitated and looked at Ning Rong: “What is the name of dad and mom ah?”
The results were out, and he could ask Ning Rong this in a proper manner.
Ning Rong was out of his mind for a while before answering.
“Ning Jingze and Gu Lan, the names of dad and mom.”
Both of them called both parents “Mom and Dad” equally, and An Zhaoming and Shen Ying didn’t have any objections at all – the long-term love for their son, and the rebirth of kindness for their son showed that they have conscience, and it’s not too late for them to be happy.
An Xing nodded, revealing a docile smile.
“Then, let’s later, go see them together ah.”
Although fate played a trick on him, he wasn’t raised by them, and they didn’t even know him, but ……
Thank you for lovingly bringing me into this world. I and the child you raised, will live a good life in the future, ah.
