Chapter 836: Bloodline Affinity (4)
That seemingly polite and seemingly casual coldness was the most unreal kind of sharp blade. An Ping could clearly feel that Zuo Hancheng had specially brought Anhao to the An family. His motive was definitely not that simple.
It was at this moment that An Ping finally understood that from the moment Anhao walked into the An family, she no longer had the ability to hide or resist everything that had happened in the past.
“This is a dish that the kitchen often cooks. Although it’s not the way Chinese dishes are cooked, it still has a sweet and spicy taste. I don’t know if you can get used to it, but it tastes very good.”An Ping didn’t say much and just kept putting food into Anhao’s bowl enthusiastically.
Seeing An Ping’s rare enthusiasm for someone, Old Master An looked at her indifferently.”It’s been so many years, but I’ve never seen you so warm to someone you’ve met for the first time.”
An Ping’s expression only paused for a moment. She did not look at Anhao’s eyes but turned to look at Old Master An. At the same time, she smiled calmly.”Dad, didn’t I just say that Anhao and I met in Los Angeles? How can it be considered our first meeting?”
“Even if it wasn’t the first time we met, we didn’t even say more than five sentences.”Anhao suddenly opened her mouth. Her words did not give An Ping any way out.
Anping paused for a moment because Anhao was deliberately making things difficult for her, but the smile in her eyes deepened. She turned to look at Anhao.”You child, I hit it off with you and treat you better. Moreover… You’re about the same age as our Anxin…”
“Don’t mention Anxin in front of me.”Grandpa An’s expression was ugly.” But speaking of which, she is indeed about the same age as Mrs. Zuo. Moreover, she looks…”
Grandpa An narrowed his eyes and looked at Anhao.””They actually look a little alike. If I wasn’t sure that Anxin was definitely not your daughter, I would have suspected that Anhao and Anxin were two children you secretly gave birth to. Even their names are so similar.”
Anping sat at the dining table, her expression unchanged. However, when Anhao looked at her, the corners of Anping’s mouth curled up. The way she looked at Anhao had long since changed from the initial shock, embarrassment, and disbelief to gradually accepting the child’s “revenge”.
Mrs. Anderson suddenly frowned and asked in a low voice,”How can you be so sure that Anxin isn’t the Andersons ‘child? What if Anping had indeed given birth outside during those ten years?”
“Do you think I’m an old fool?” Old Master An’s voice was cold.” Not long after she came back eight years ago, she suddenly brought back a teenage girl from outside. She said she wanted to adopt her. I saw that the girl actually looked a little like her, so I was already suspicious. I took the hair of the mother and daughter to do a DNA test. The facts proved that Anxin was not Anping’s daughter at all.”
“You actually secretly went for a DNA test? Old An, oh Old An, I’ve been with you for more than 50 years, but you’re always so despicable! You don’t even believe in your own child!” The old madam was so angry that she directly threw the cutlery in her hand. Her expression was ugly as she said,”I can’t eat this meal. If it weren’t for the fact that this child from Hancheng came to see us, I really wouldn’t have come out to eat with this old bastard!”
“Back then, she brought a girl back from the outside for some reason. She insisted on adopting her and loved that child so much. Can’t I doubt that child’s background? If that child is the bastard she had with that bastard, I have to know the truth. I can’t be kept in the dark!”
“So? You finally found out? He knew that the child was not An Ping’s, so he allowed her to adopt the child? And allow her to name the child Anxin and allow her to take on our family name? You don’t want your own granddaughter, but you’d rather keep an adopted child. Old An, are you not old and muddle-headed?
I think you’re too much! He had no idea what he was doing!”
“What do you mean I don’t know what I’m doing? If the man An Ping knew back then really had an ending with her, would her life still be so peaceful? Who knows where he would die under the muzzle of a gun!”
The old couple was quarreling happily, but Zuo Hancheng, Anhao, and Anping did not seem to be affected by the flames of war at all. It was as if they did not hear the old couple’s quarrel.
Anhao didn’t expect Old Master An to be such a meticulous person.
An Ping brought back a child from the orphanage, and he actually went to do a DNA test?
If An Ping had brought her back to the United States and returned to the An family, would Old Master An have kept her if he had known that she was An Ping’s child?
Anhao didn’t know what was going on, but now she saw that An Ping had been picking up food for her because she was sitting opposite her and often looked at her carefully. The smile in her eyes was as warm as when she was young. Although there was some regret and pain hidden in this warmth, it did look very warm on the surface.
After so many years, she had still habitually kept half a bottle of peach-flavored drink. It could be seen that An Ping had not forgotten about her existence?
Since he had never forgotten her, how could he be so cruel as to send her into the abyss of pain in the Gu family?
He thought of the Gu family and the last time An Ping had looked at him weakly as she fell down the stairs and lay in a pool of blood.
Anhao tightened her grip on the cutlery.
Until the end of the not-so-harmonious dinner, no one actually ate much, except for Anhao.
She ate until she was full. An Ping kept putting food into her bowl, and Zuo Hancheng also put food into her bowl from time to time. Then, she ate and ate non-stop amidst the noise of Elder An and the old madam.
When the meal was finally over, Mrs. Anderson was so angry that she asked the servants to help her back to the ancestral hall. However, Grandpa An suddenly stopped Zuo Hancheng and asked him to go out and talk to him.
Anhao did not know what Elder An meant, but she did not follow Zuo Hancheng’s gaze when he left.
Only she and An Ping were left at the dining table.
An Ping’s gaze had been fixed on Anhao from the beginning to the end. Since the Buddhist incident had come to this point, she no longer cared about how the servants around them looked at the two of them with curious eyes. She did not even care about Anhao’s purpose for coming.
Suddenly, someone ran in from outside.”Something’s happened”
