The family chatted with An Mangu, asking him all sorts of questions, for quite a while. It wasn't until An Mangu asked why they had moved to this mansion in Hongcheng that An Dalin realized someone was missing.

I looked around but didn't see anyone.

Ankang is still too young, and he spends all his time playing with the younger children in the Qiao family. Apart from Ankang, Anle is also missing from the family.

"Where's Lewa? Why didn't Lewa come over?"

"Oh, my little sister went out with Amo, right? She's not in the room. I went to her room just now but didn't see her," An Ning explained, licking her lips.

What a coincidence!

An Dalin nodded and answered his son's question, "This big house in Hongcheng was arranged by Lewazi. Jincheng was being built before, and the original commercial street where they lived was no longer habitable, so they were moved here." At this point, An Dalin remembered that their original home was not in the commercial street, and that Lewazi had also arranged for them to live here.

His son didn't know about the shopping street.

"Oh, that shopping street was also settled by that kid Lewazi. It was only because of the natural disaster that they had no choice but to move here."

As for the houses in that village, they're all gone. The natural disaster destroyed the village; some died, and others disappeared.

"Our whole family is still alive; that's truly a blessing."

An Dalin spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and his usually ordinary face showed no particular expression. But when An Mangu heard it, he was completely stunned.

Lewazi?

Is Lewazi the youngest daughter of Mancang Ge?

He remembered that Mancang's family had a little daughter named Anle.

How old is Cola Baby?

He remembers that his child was only three or four years old when he left.

In Anmangu's memory, Lewazi was still at the age of three or four. Moreover, he had not had much contact with him. He rarely went home, and when he did, it was always in a hurry, so he rarely saw the child. Now, the child's appearance in his memory was vague.

A child, and this mansion was bought for him?

Is his father getting old and senile?

Thinking of this, An Mangu looked at his father with a complicated expression, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Seeing An Mangu's appearance, An Dalin was so angry that he was about to take off his shoe and smear it on An Mangu. What kind of eyes does this brat have? Does he think he's senile?

"What are you looking at? I may be old, but I'm not senile yet. Don't believe me? Everything in this house was set up by Lewazi."

Ever since your brother Mancang was adopted by me, this old man has been enjoying a peaceful retirement with Lewazi.

An Mangu quickly pressed down on An Dalin, who was about to take off his shoes, and soothed him, saying, "I believe what Dad says, Dad is right." When he came in, he heard his father talking to him about how Mancang had been adopted by his father.

This kind of thing isn't surprising, but it's unexpected that it was Mancang who was adopted.

His father only had him as his sole heir. If he were to pass away, he would naturally have to adopt a son to take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days.

So when he entered the door and heard his father say that he had adopted Mancang, he was quite surprised.

Hearing his younger daughter mentioned, An Mancang felt proud as well, but he couldn't bring himself to praise her in front of his brother. So he just scratched his head sheepishly and nodded in agreement.

“It was Lewa who bought it, Father is not wrong.”

Then, the people in the living room were chatting animatedly about euthanasia.

If it were just his father saying it, he would think his father was getting senile, but since the whole family was saying it, An Mangu had no choice but to be skeptical and nod along with him.

He did indeed develop some interest in his little niece.

“Our whole family owes its existence to Lewazi. Otherwise, how could we eat and live so well? We moved into this big house, and even your great-grandfather's family moved in with us to enjoy the good life.”

An Dalin sighed as he mentioned An Dafeng, then suddenly paused, realizing he hadn't told his older brother about it yet.

“You’ve been gone for two years, everyone thought you were dead. Your great-grandfather doesn’t even know you’re alive. Come on, I’ll take you to your great-grandfather’s house. He lives in the house next door to me.” An Dalin was radiant and full of energy. This time, he didn’t need anyone to help him up; he stood up straight and looked very proud.

"Then I'll go tell Sister Ding in the kitchen to hurry up and prepare the meal, and invite Uncle's family over to eat together later," Qiao Qiuniang said excitedly.

"Then I'll go over and talk to Mangu and the others." An Mancang consciously followed behind An Dalin and went over with the father and son.

Only the four children remained in the reception room, staring at each other with wide eyes.

"This is such a... such a huge surprise! I never imagined that Uncle was still alive." An Ning blinked, still a little dazed and confused, feeling as if it were all unreal.

An Yi stood beside An Ning, his eyes darting around, muttering to himself, "Uncle works in the imperial palace, right? That means he's in the capital."

Uncle probably won't be staying long this time, right? If he leaves, do you think we could go with him to the capital to see what it's like? I've never been to the capital before.

If one is lucky enough to have a stroll around the Imperial Palace with the Emperor, then one emerges as a person of status, and has something to boast about to others.

An Ning glanced at An Yi and rolled her eyes. Only he would think of such trivial things at a time like this, still thinking about how to brag to others. He probably wants to impress other girls and show off in front of them.

"Can't you do anything productive all day? I bet you're not studying properly at school, but just flirting with girls, aren't you?"

An Ning said this through gritted teeth, her tone harsh, and An Yi picked at his ear as he listened.

"Huh? You underestimate me. My ability to study is recognized by the teacher. Not only do I learn quickly and remember quickly, but I am also better than those rich kids who have studied for several years."

I may have fun, but I'll still study what I need to study. You're underestimating your brother's abilities.

I only go out to play with my friends and companions during my spare time after school.

"I think you're just jealous and resentful because you can't make any friends, so you can't stand me, right?" An Yi hit the nail on the head, striking a nerve with An Ning.

An Ning glared at An Yi fiercely, "You're capable, you're incredibly capable, who can be more capable than you? If you're so capable, why don't you go out and make something of yourself like your uncle? What's the use of just wasting your breath talking in front of outsiders?"
