Rebirth of the Little Actor – 50
50 – Lu Tian Shen had only ever smiled so nicely at him, An Xing thought.
The tall boy silently nodded at Chen Bo. His handsome face has no expression, but inexplicably revealed a bit of loss.
“An …… Ning Rong right?” Chen Bo smiled, “Hello.”
Ning Rong silently glanced at Chen Bo, “My name is not An Ning Rong.”
An Xing laughed until he hiccuped next to him.
Chen Bo: …… This kid is not as cute as the Xing cub at all!
The youth’s expression was a bit twisted, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were glaring at him. Considering that this person was brought here by An Xing, Ning Rong felt that he still had to give face.
“Hello, Brother Bo.”
A taller and stronger boy called him brother in a angry voice, and it reminded Chen Bo of the story of one hundred and eight brothers.
The youth exchanged a few pleasantries, and silently walked away with a glass of wine. It is not appropriate to make friends today, it is better to wait for another day.
The two men sat back in the corner, An Xing remembered what happened just now, and was a little puzzled.
“Just now that was the second aunt, right? Why would she come to the banquet?”
This kind of banquet requires an invitation, with the status of second uncle An, he is not qualified to be invited here, Tan Xiu has even less of a reason to receive an invitation.
Ning Rong: “I’m not sure, but if I’m not mistaken, she wasn’t brought by An Zhaoyuan, she came with a friend.”
Even though there are fewer people who will bring their friends to the banquet, it is true that some people will bring their friends to the banquet.
An Xing still felt that something is not right and looked around the venue, but did not find the figure of Tan Xiu.
Somehow, probably because of the aftermath of his previous life, seeing Tan Xiu approach Ning Rong An Xing felt uneasy.
The teenager came to the boy’s side to mutter: “If you are in trouble, look for mom and dad or looking for me is also okay, do not go to find them ah.”
Ning Rong glanced at him and inexplicably felt that this little fool was afraid of something.
After he was recognized, the two houses of the An family hadn’t eaten together, and it was said to be because his second aunt had something going on at home and was busy. According to the information provided by An Xing, this second aunt’s brother had a problem with the car dealership he ran, which had almost killed someone, and he had been in a state of anxiety lately.
Ning Rong was puzzled. Just now it was his first time meeting this second aunt, and although the other party behaved in a dignified manner, Ning Rong felt that this person was a bit fake, and that the cordiality she showed to him seemed to be feigned.
Looking at the little fool’s appearance again, Ning Rong felt…well, it was definitely not the two brothers’ fault, it was just the second aunt who was not good enough.
He raised his hand and touched the young man’s curly hair, comforting him lightly:
“I know, don’t worry.”
An Xing was still thinking hard about how to make Ning Rong be wary of his second aunt. When he heard this, he was stunned and suddenly realized.
Ning Rong is the true young master of the An family. Ning Rong should be the one to worry about any conspiracy in An Hao’s family. After all, this is part of growing up.
Which boss doesn’t have terrible relatives? Not to mention the other people, there were a bunch of relatives in his Brother Shen’s family who didn’t do anything and still eat Brother Shen’s food.
Anyway, it is impossible to sever the relationship, so just deal with it.
An Xing emotionally patted Ning Rong’s shoulder, “You go for it!”
Through this banquet, An Zhaoming and Shen Qing met some of their better-connected friends and told them Ning Rong’s true identity. So in the second half, Ning Rong and An Xing were brought along by the two, meeting people everywhere.
–Mainly introducing Ning Rong, An Xing was just making up the numbers.
And the An Family couple’s behavior also let the crowd understand that even though An Xing was not their biological child, his status in the An Family was still important. Not only the An family couple, even the An family’s real young master is also very close to An Xing.
Leaving aside what these people had calculated in their hearts, the An family socialized throughout the entire banquet until they got into the car and exhaled in unison.
“So tired.”
Ning Rong looked to the left, An Xing had already slumped into his seat as if he were a little frizzed up jelly. Looking to the right, Shen Qing elegantly leaned back in her seat, languid and disheveled. Finally looking at the front, An Zhaoming took a bottle of Health X-Power and finished it in a big gulp and instantly regained his energy.
Ning Rong: ……
Ning Rong: “Dad, the second aunt came to the banquet today, did you know?”
With Uncle Li driving, An Zhaoming looked back at his son, “Your second aunt came? I haven’t seen it!”
Ning Rong nodded, “She bullied An Xing.”
The little frizzed up jelly’s eyes widened in bewilderment, and the two adults in the car turned their heads at the same time, their gazes searing at Ning Rong.
“What?!”
“At the banquet today, the second aunt came over and asked me if Xingxing is still living at home, when will he move out, when will he move his account, and if he hasn’t moved his account yet are Mom and Dad biased in favor of him ……”
“Screw her!”
Without waiting for Ning Rong to finish speaking, An Zhaoming instantly became furious and cursed out profanities.
“Our family’s affairs are none of her business!”
Ning Rong nodded, “Well, she bullied Xingxing.”
Ning Rong’s logic was simple, Tan Xiu came over to him and asked these words, obviously she was concerned, but in reality, she was stirring up trouble, and she was hoping that he, the true young master, would feel repulsed by An Xing. Saying that Tan Xiu was bullying An Xing was faultless.
Shen Qing slowly sat up straight, her voice was gentle when she opened her mouth, but her eyes had already gone cold.
“Xingxing and Rongrong hugged the wrong person, if they want to care about it, it should be the second brother who should care about it. My sister-in-law herself came to ask as if she had been so busy with her own family lately that she hadn’t had a proper talk with my second brother?”
The woman sighed softly and looked at her husband.
“If the company isn’t busy lately, don’t let second brother and nephew work for you every day. Give them a vacation, let them care about their younger siblings and have a family reunion.”
An Xing translated it mentally and understood.
Mom was explicitly saying that Tan Xiu was meddling in her business, but in fact, she was asking Dad to warn Uncle An and An Hao that if they didn’t take care of Second Auntie, the two of them were going to be in trouble.
Being a part of the An family, An Xing felt that he should also say something. He thought hard and spoke in a thin voice:
“Mom and dad don’t be angry ah, the second aunt is also too concerned about Rong …… brother. After all, their whole family has long known that my brother and I were mistakenly embraced, and it’s unavoidable for them to treat my brother differently.”
Ning Rong was refreshed by the call, and stroked the handful of small curly hair, nodding lightly.
“That’s right, they just care too much about me.”
The little drama queen’s tea was full of flavour, and Ning Rong was still telling lies. After being interrupted like this, An Zhaoming and Shen Ying’s anger subsided a little. They looked at the two children, laughed and shook their heads. In the end, it was An Zhaoming who spoke.
“Okay, you two don’t have to worry about their affairs. We know what’s going on.”
The two agreed, and An Xing collapsed into a little curly jelly again.
*
An Zhaoming was a very thorough person, and this thoroughness was reflected both in his career and in his family.
When An Xing was not suitable to inherit the family business, An Zhaoming invested in many ways to ensure that in the future, even if the little fool does not take over the company, with dividends from various companies he can be carefree for the rest of his life.
After learning that the two children were held in the wrong hands, An Zhaoming was not in a hurry to recognize them. After discovering that the two children got along well, they took An Xing as a link and brought Ning Rong back to An’s home to slowly cultivate their relationship.
Now that the relationship was almost cultivated, it was time to make it public. He started to pave the way for his son, but found that his younger brother and sister-in-law really had some small thoughts that they shouldn’t have.
——What do you want to do by driving a wedge between the two children? Does it make their chickens and dogs restless?
For An Zhaoming, it is not surprising that his younger brother and his family are a bit petty, after all, the former An Xing could not take over the company. Looking at the overall situation, handing over the company to one’s own nephew is more likely to be more reliable than handing it over to an outsider.
Who doesn’t want to make progress? Besides, An Hao was also his nephew, so he still cared about it.
But now, An Zhaoming does not care if his brother’s family wants to make money, wants to show off, or wants to get ahead, his only bottom line is his family. And Tan Xiu’s behavior has touched his bottom line.
Returning home from the banquet, An Zhaoming didn’t change his clothes and went straight to the study, calling An Zhaoyuan on the phone. Anyway, the oldest two didn’t do much at the company every day, so they might as well go home to accompany their mother-in-law.
He did not follow Shen Qing said to kick his brother and nephew all home to eaton their own, on one hand, there is no need to tear his face, and on the other hand, his nephew, after all, is young and shallow, under his eyes, he can also look at what his brother’s family wants to do in the end.
Ruthlessly snapping off his brother’s call back, An Zhaoming expressionlessly contacted his right-hand secretary.
“Xiao Xu ah, there is a job …… no need for you to work overtime on the weekend! Make some prying in your spare time and I’ll give you a raise!”
“Around the neighborhood where Rong Rong used to live, there are a group of punks that have been spying on Rong Rong for a long time …… You check out this group of punks and find a way to find their leader, one called ‘Brother Hai’. “
“The An family doesn’t have enough connections in this area, you go find Xingxing’s teacher, Xiao Rui from the design department. Have him pass a message to the Xiao family, and check it out along with the car accident of the Xiao family’s kid.”
*
After the banquet, the An Family’s matter spread quickly and subtly. Quickly because it was really explosive news, and subtly for the sake of the An Family’s face and because of An Xing.
Logically speaking, after this kind of wrong embrace, An Xing, as the false young master, should have slowly faded out of the limelight, leaving the An family and returning to his biological parents’ home. However, now that everyone knew that the Ning family couple had sacrificed their lives for the sake of public justice, An Xing had nowhere else to go and was still living in the An family.
–Although it is not known whether it is temporary or permanent, but people will have to take care of the face of the An family as long as he does not leave the An family.
Not to mention, as everyone knows, there is a big backer like Lu Tian Shen behind An Xing.
Therefore, some people who were watching the event did some calculations, well, An Xing not only still lives in the An family, he seems to have a good relationship with Young Master Chen, and there is also a big brother behind him like Lu Tian Shen. What else can be going on here? Let it go.
“…… Brother Bo told me that An Hao even tried to encourage others to deal with me, but then Sun Cheng, that idiot, ended up speaking his mind. However no one in the group paid any attention to him at all, so he shut up!”
On Sunday night, when Lu Tianchen was driving An Xing home, the boy was sitting in the passenger seat, dancing and talking triumphantly.
Lu Tianchen: “You still have a group? Why am I not in the group?”
The teenager was instantly stuck in his shell, looking at the man with an innocent face. His round almond eyes turned around before he opened his mouth with a straight face:
“The members of our group all love to eat, drink, have fun, and want to be content with their lives. You see, Brother Bo’s eldest brother isn’t in the group!”
“Brother Shen, you are so great, isn’t it normal to not be in the group?”
As the man drove the car, he only glanced sideways at the young man, with a smile on his lips, as if he accepted this explanation.
An Xing breathed out secretly and leaned back in his chair. He felt that Brother Shen was really difficult to coax, and he had to blow a rainbow fart to coax him.
Sigh!
“People like Sun Cheng are not to be feared, but with your second uncle and his family, be careful and don’t have too much contact with them.”
Hearing this, An Xing was about to nod his head vigorously in recognition when he suddenly hesitated and approached a little embarrassed.
“Brother Shen, when I say this about An Hao and their family …… don’t you think I am taking it too far?”
Zengzi said, I reflect on myself three times a day, and An Xing feels that he is a person who is good at self reflection and correction. He also reflected on whether it was not right to wear colored glasses on An Hao and his family because of past life events. After all, in this lifetime, they haven’t had a chance to do anything yet.
But later on, An Xing discovered that he couldn’t do it. The damage caused by the An Hao family in their previous life cannot be forgotten by An Xing.
In this life, a lot of things had been changed by him, but there were still a lot of things that remained unchanged, such as An Hao’s hostility towards him, or the fact that An Hao’s family knew the truth about hugging the wrong one, but they still hid it from them.
So An Xing felt that not using his own likes and dislikes to influence others was his limit, but not hating An Hao and his family, that was something that is simply impossible.
He couldn’t tell anyone about his rebirth, and he couldn’t tell his parents or Ning Rong these little thoughts. Only in front of Lu Tianchen could An Xing reveal these little thoughts.
So although it’s unfortunate that he made a mistake and none of his family’s wealth is his, Brother Shen, the best friend, is actually his, right?
While the boy was thinking wildly, the car had already entered the underground garage. Lu Tianchen turned off the fire, leaned on the back of the chair and turned his head slightly, looking at the boy.
“You are not excessive at all. The person who would let you be annoyed is definitely someone who is bad to the core.”
The teenager looked at the man with wide eyes.
Lu Tian Shen smiled slightly, looking at this smile, An Xing suddenly remembered the Lu Tian Shen he had unintentionally seen at the banquet on Friday.
The man, dressed in a suit and surrounded by the crowd, shook the tall glass in his hand with downcast eyes and tilted his head to take a sip. The pair of sharp narrow eyes did not contain fluctuations, and even when he talked to people, he was as calm and indifferent.
Unlike when he was talking to him, Lu Tian Shen was all smiles from his eye brows to the corners of his mouth.
It seemed like Lu Tian Shen had only ever smiled so nicely at him, An Xing thought. This realization made him feel light and fluffy, and the sense of accomplishment came up layer by layer like a wave.
“So don’t think so much, I’ll always be towards you.”
Looking at the man who leaned in close, it was clear that the ventilation system was working well, but An Xing still had the illusion that he was out of breath.
Crap, he thought as he swooned, he must have eaten too much dinner.
He’s carsick!
