Chapter 179: Squatting in the corner
After the banquet, the generations of the An family naturally wanted to follow Mr. An back to the main house, although AA was a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to say it. Besides, Mrs. An told him several times during the day, saying that he hadn't been home for too long, and that he must go back.
AA, An Yimin and Mr. An sat in a car, Mr. An was closing his eyes and recuperating, AA didn't even dare to breathe, he sat on one side of the road as if he didn't exist, and finally got out of the car and returned home.
"Finally back, it's so late at this time of year, hungry, right? I've prepared something to eat, and you'll go and rest after eating. "Mrs. An didn't go at night, but she wasn't idle at home, although Old Man An never let her go into the kitchen anymore to work, but it was rare that the younger generations in the family came back, she was happy, and she made an exception.
AA hadn't eaten anything his mother had made for a long time, but fortunately, the old man said that he was tired and had to go back to wash up first, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the stool and sat down to eat.
An Ying looked at AA's gobbling appearance and smiled: "Uncle, I haven't seen you all night, I thought you were lazy somewhere, but I didn't expect that I didn't even fill my stomach!" β
Knowing that An Ju was robbing herself, AA didn't have the same knowledge as her, so she only said: "I brought you a bunch of half-grown children for a night, you don't know how troublesome those guys are, ask questions, and can't stop for a long time, I finally got out later, and only ate two bites." β
"Oh? It seems that my uncle is still very kind to the younger generation! I think that in the morning, some of your juniors from your relatives surrounded you, and they were also listening to your teachings! β
Anke heard that the meaning of these words was a little strange, and was about to get up, but after thinking about it, he scooped another spoonful of food into the bowl and ate slowly.
"Those guys, what kind of stuff, it's worth teaching me by word and deed, one by one wearing a mask, thinking how beautiful their face is, I feel disgusted to hear them call me uncle." Aa suddenly seemed a little angry as she spoke.
"I see, but I remember, at the time, you liked to let them treat you with the courtesy of their seniors, but now it's because you've grown up and don't like it?" An Ju pretended to be puzzled and said, "Oh, I know, you didn't run away and hand over the mess to me just because you couldn't stand these people's fake appearances, right?" β
AA suddenly choked when he heard this, and he didn't know what was stuck in his throat and couldn't get up or down, and his face was flushed, which startled An Zhen. Fortunately, AA hurriedly took a big sip of water and calmed down, but he choked again, coughing non-stop, and made a mess on the table.
An Cheng frowned and cleaned up, waiting for AA to catch his breath before speaking again.
"AA, don't think I don't know your mind." An Ju's voice suddenly became a little serious, for so many years, it was only when AA had just returned to China and when he saw An Ju for the first time, An Ju had called him that.
"When I felt proud to be an elder, I felt disgusted when I had to force people to call you uncle, and when I grew up and knew what those people were thinking. You hate this hypocrisy, don't I hate it? You want to stay away from these intriguing hypocritical faces, don't I want to stay away? You can't bear this reality, should I bear it? β
When AA first listened to it, it was still like a rebuttal, but in the end, he held back, just gasped, and his breath became heavier and heavier, as if he was suffering some psychological torture.
Encore just watched quietly from the sidelines, not speaking.
After waiting for a while, AA finally deflated and said, "Since you can see it, I'll say it directly." I did leave because of that. I'm different from you, my mother dotes on me, I've been growing up in a honey pot, I know it's not fair to you, why are you just the same age, I'm still your elder, but it's easier than you. But I didn't think so, I just thought it should be like this. But when I really tried to take over Ling Feng's affairs, thinking that it could be completed smoothly, I realized that I was very wrong. β
AA pulled out a few pieces of paper and subconsciously wiped the table, and continued: "Some people have changed too much, I was eager to beat you yesterday, and today I licked my face and begged you, those who don't want to call me uncle are all stammering this time, heh, I guess they are willing to call their ancestors, I feel disgusting." β
AA looked at An Xuan, his eyes were a little evasive, but he had to face his niece's scrutiny of him. I thought that An Cheng would continue to preach seriously, and even lose his temper with him, which he could accept, after all, for so many years, An Ju's pressure has not had a good outlet. But somehow, AA felt that there was some inexplicable smile in An Yu's eyes.
"Brother, you're still amazing, it seems that you guessed right!" An Xuan couldn't help laughing, and suddenly turned her head to An Ke and said, An Ke smiled helplessly, and looked at AA sympathetically.
AA was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
Anju shrugged.
"I just tried you, I haven't figured out why you left at that time for so many years, but I didn't expect that it was really because of this reason, you are not naΓ―ve!"
AA blushed, a little angry, but helpless.
"I was just naΓ―ve, I was only eighteen years old at the time, okay?"
"yes, you're only eighteen, but, I remember, I was only fourteen at the time, right?"
AA was stunned and had nothing to say.
"Uncle, you say, if I told my grandfather about this, what would he say!" An Yu blinked and said with a wicked smile.
"My father, spare me! I can't handle it as much as you do, otherwise I wouldn't have run away back then. β
AA can't do anything about his demon-like niece.
"But, grandpa has always wanted to know, I know the reason but don't say it, isn't it just lying to his old man?"
An Ke couldn't help but laugh when he looked at An Ju like this, if he said that there were no ghost ideas and strange ideas, there was no shortage of them.
"You can save it, I don't think I suffered enough before! What the hell do you want, say it bluntly. β
"I just want you to get involved in family affairs a little more! Don't worry, I don't want you to have much power, and I don't need you to socialize, just use your ingenuity. If you had told me the truth, I wouldn't have guessed so, I would have asked you to do something so that grandpa could have felt at ease. β
"If the old man knows, he can't break my other leg!" AA glared at An Ju, annoyed that he had fallen into this girl's way because he was restless.
"What did you do to make me break your other leg?"
The old man's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and the three of them were startled, and AA jumped up directly from the chair, almost tripped over the chair and fell directly.
"AA, come with me."
AA swallowed his saliva and followed with some trepidation, but he didn't have time to turn around and give An Cheng a roll of his eyes.
"Brother, uncle will be fine, right?"
Although An Yu calculated AA, it can be seen that AA was called away by his grandfather, so he was still a little worried, so he had to pull Encore, and the two waited at the corner outside the study.
"Probably not, there hasn't been much movement, I think my uncle should be able to speak, and he won't be angry with grandpa like before."
The two talked, and half an hour passed, and AA closed the study door and walked out.
Walking around the corner, when I saw An Xuan and An Ke, AA said angrily: "You just toss me, sooner or later you will be killed by you." β
"Looks like you're in a good mood! What did you say? It can't be a compliment, right? An Ju observed AA's appearance, which didn't look like the expression after being scolded.
"The old man will still praise me? If you don't throw me in a corner, you will recognize me as a son. β
AA just wanted to exaggerate, so as to fool his niece, but a cough immediately made his hairs stand up.
Turning his head stiffly, he found that An Yimin and Old Man An were walking over together, and the cough just now was from AA's brother, An Yimin.
The old man's originally kind face became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "I really want to sleep in the corner, right?" Then give it a taste, and tell the butler to lock up AA's room and let him sleep in the corner for the night today. β
With that, the old man separated from everyone and went downstairs by himself.
"You!" An Yimin shook his head and looked at AA and said, "You should also taste what it is like to be without the protection of the family." Forget it today, I have to apologize tomorrow. β
An Yimin was also in Mr. An's study just now, and listened to Mr. An tell AA about all the secret help that AA received abroad, hoping that this younger brother would be more sensible when he was so old, but now it seems that he is still so open-mouthed, no wonder the old man is angry.
"Brother, I was wrong, I know." AA lowered his head and answered, and really found a corner and sat down.
