The feeling of forty or fifty people gathered together was more lively than Ann knew expected. Her sense of hearing is sharper than that of ordinary people, and when she stays in the living room, she feels her ears buzzing, and there is not a moment of silence.

It's not a good feeling, but An knows that he is in it, and he feels a wonderful sense of relief.

It's noisy, but maybe it's what it feels like home, right? It's something she hasn't experienced since she was a child. Although it is also good to be with Shen Yanru, she has already managed the residence of the two of them as her own home, but the liveliness and popularity of many people getting together like this are something that the two of them will not have no matter how hard they work.

In fact, these relatives, An Zhi has not been able to recognize them all until now. First, there were too many people, and secondly, some of them came in a hurry today, the time was too short, and everyone gathered together, it was difficult to greet them one by one. However, the same generation with little age difference knows about it.

Mainly because of Shen Yanru's help in the introduction, everyone also gave face.

Unexpectedly, the big flowers were unanimously welcomed here. An Zhi listened to them talk for a while, and only then did he know that after Zhang Chongyuan came back, Haosheng boasted about Dahua and vowed to raise an equally smart cat. The whole family knew about this incident, but Zhang Chongyuan obviously failed to do so in the end.

So although he is not here now, he can be regarded as indirectly helping An Zhi. With a common topic, everyone is immediately familiar with each other, at least they can talk.

In addition to An Zhizhi, Shen Yanru also had two cousins who brought their girlfriends home. Both of them have also met in the family, and the family affairs have been decided. In comparison, on the contrary, An knows that there is still a bit of "unknown concubine".

But because of this, An Zhi didn't receive much attention, after all, no matter how many people there were, it would be much better if the firepower was dispersed to three people. She's still the one who gets more attention, though.

To An Zhi's surprise, she was concerned, not because she was the same gender as Shen Yanru, but because of her profession.

I heard that she is a singer, some of Shen Yanru's cousins and sisters are very interested in her, and they show kindness to her, and even a few have heard her songs, but some of them are not visible on their faces, but the contempt in their eyes when facing her is difficult to hide.

Ann didn't find it strange.

When there are many people, there will always be relatives who are distant and close. Mo said that Shen Yanru didn't grow up here after all, and he was not close to these brothers and sisters, except for Zhang Chongyuan and Cao Jingyun, even if they grew up together, they might not all be harmonious.

Besides, although the time period of contact, it can also be seen that Shen Yanru is very important in Grandpa Shen's heart. After all, she is the eldest son and daughter, but she didn't grow up with her, and the elders feel a little guilty about her, and they will inevitably be biased in some aspects.

In fact, as far as An Zhizhi is concerned, this bias is actually a manifestation of unfamiliarity. However, after all, Shen Yanru has benefited, in the eyes of some people, she is the only favor, and it is normal for her heart to be unbalanced.

Shen Yanru himself handled it calmly, and An knew that he only didn't see it. When someone gives her kindness, she takes it. If the other party doesn't like her, she doesn't have to be too attentive.

However, the eyes of the elders looking at her were basically soft.

After a night of socializing, I finally finished eating dumplings after twelve o'clock. At this time, An knew that he was already very sleepy. Under Shen Yanru's strict management, her work and rest are very normal, and she can't open her eyelids until now. Others, however, were excited and pulled the table to play.

Shen Yanru saw her head nodding, so he whispered, "Sleepy? Why don't you go to sleep first? ”

One of her cousins smiled, "Isn't it said that the lives of celebrities are very colorful, why are they sleepy at this time?" Could it be that you usually go to bed so early? ”

When he learned about An's schedule, he exclaimed again and again, "God, are you still a primary school student?" ”

"Isn't my grandfather also at this time?" Cao Jingyun said coldly on the side. The cousin gritted her teeth and stopped talking.

Shen Yanru glanced at them, pulled An Zhizhi to get up and left.

When he went out and was blown by the cold wind, An knew that he was much more sober. She asked Shen Yanru, "Isn't it okay for us to leave like this?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, it's either playing cards or talking about it anyway." After a pause, he said, "You don't have to worry about this, and they don't need to take their attitude to heart." ”

"I don't care." "Actually, I quite like this feeling. Although they are a little targeted, they can't say how malicious they are, at most they just play tricks on me. I haven't experienced this kind of imbalance between siblings. ”

"How do you feel now?" Shen Yanru asked her.

An Zhizhi thought about it and smiled, "I'm tired." But it's very down-to-earth. After a pause, he added, "But it's okay to feel it once in a while, if you live in this environment every day, it's really dire." ”

"We'll be gone in two days." Shen Yan said.

However, this was said a little earlier.

In the next two days, many people came to Shen's house one after another to pay New Year's greetings. Some of them sent things and left, and they didn't even need Uncle Zhong to entertain them, but some of them could be led in the door and greeted by Grandpa Shen himself. Others are left to juniors at all levels to deal with.

Shen Yanru and An knew that they were out of place among these people. After all, the two of them don't work in the Shen family's group, and they don't even know a few people here, so they can't entertain them, and they have nothing else to do, so they seem to have nothing to do.

Ann knew that she simply didn't go out and stayed in the room to tease the cat. There were a lot of people outside, and since the Shen Mansion was full of people, An knew that he didn't dare to magnify the flowers. After all, it's just a cat, and she can't talk even if she is bullied outside, so she doesn't feel at ease.

Dahua lost his temper because of this, after all, when he was at home, except for the bedroom and the video room, other places were his territory. And every day Shen Yanru and An know that they will go out to sneak around it, not to mention how comfortable they are. So for the past two days, it has been facing Ann with its tail every day, and now that it is free, of course, it has to coax this master.

Shen Yanru also stayed in her room to talk to her - of course the two of them didn't live together here. Shen Yanru has a room in the main house, and An knows that this is for guests. However, Shen Yanru stayed by her side most of the time, and would not go back to her room until she went to sleep.

On this day, the two were discussing when to bring it back, and Uncle Zhong came to invite them over, saying that there was a guest coming.

Shen Yanru was a little surprised, "Let's go and meet the guests?" ”

"It's an old friend of the master." Uncle Zhong said, "It was said that Miss and Miss An would recognize people, and there might be a time for them to communicate in the future." ”

However, when he walked towards the main house, he deliberately lagged one step behind, and whispered in Shen Yanru's ear, "It's Mr. Xu." ”

Mr. Xu is the one who Grandpa Shen said last time that he had a niece who looked very similar to An Zhizhi. Shen Yanru nodded, knowing in her heart, it seems that although An Zhi said that his background is very clear, his grandfather still did not give up, and planned to let the two meet.

When I got to the main house, I saw that in addition to Grandpa Shen and Ye Qing, there was another person here. He was a silver-haired, energetic old gentleman. Wearing a navy blue Tang suit, with a straight back, he looks very imposing.

However, seeing that An knew it, he actually stood up from his position in a gaffe.

Grandpa Shen was very satisfied with this effect. He deliberately didn't tell Old Man Xu who he wanted him to see before, just to see his current performance. This old man is very deep, and when he was young, he rarely saw him change color, and now that he is older, he is even more of an old fox. It's a joy to see him like this now!

"You two come over quickly, I've seen your grandfather Xu." He beckoned to Shen Yanru and An Zhi with a smile on his face.

This Mr. Xu is an old friend of Grandpa Shen for many years, don't look at his silver-haired appearance, he is actually the same age as Grandpa Shen. Grandpa Shen often laughed at him for worrying about too many things, so he turned gray early. Mr. Xu replied that he was because his temperament was too outrageous, and he looked young when he was dozens of years old.

Mr. Xu's niece, Xiang Yujie, is a very talented pianist who now lives in Vienna and rarely returns to Los Angeles. It is probably because of this that their impression of Xiang Yujie mostly stays in her youth, and when they see An Zhizhi, they naturally feel very similar. Especially when I heard that An knew that he could sing, it was even more similar.

Old Man Xu stared at An Zhi and asked, "What's this child's name?" ”

After An knew the answer, he looked a little disappointed, "Why isn't it surnamed Xiang?" He asked her who her parents were. An knew that he was helpless, but he still answered as much as he could. She didn't think she would have any hidden identity, and she also hoped that the old men would stop after asking and stop tossing.

But Old Man Xu was not disappointed, and said, "Although you said that your parents can be tested everywhere, but what about your grandparents and grandparents?" Can they all come from? ”

Ann was stunned. She hadn't really thought about it. Grandparents and Grandpa Shen are the same generation, but it is indeed more likely to be Xiang's family. And...... These things are indeed unknown. She has not had grandparents since she was born, and she has never heard the names of grandparents and grandparents. It's just that I subconsciously think that I don't have it, but why not? Her parents couldn't have jumped out of the dirt, right?

Seeing her expression, Old Man Xu nodded and said, "At the beginning, they were separated from their families in the war, and then they never heard any news. Maybe some of them will go over there. Yujie has been sad about this for many years, and he still can't let go. If she can really find a relative, she can feel more relaxed. You're a kid, I'm afraid you suffered a lot when you were a child, right? It's hard for you. ”

An Zhizhi only felt a sour tip of his nose, and tears almost fell.

Although she never thought that she had suffered or suffered many sins, she didn't think that there was anything bad about what she had experienced. But the hardships and hardships in this process are not enough for outsiders.

She doesn't want the sympathy of others, she doesn't want the pity of others, because she feels that she is not missing anything. However, when she heard this sentence from the elders "It's hard for you", she realized that she didn't care.

She has also thought about it, and she has thought about it more than once, it would be nice if she had relatives, and if only she had someone to rely on.

However, no.

No, so she didn't look forward to it.
