An Ci glanced at him and smiled nonchalantly, "Believe it or not, do you still want to eat the cake?"
"Of course I did. I just had a cup of coffee this morning." Anyang touched his stomach and said, "I'm almost starving."
An Ci looked at the others, "What about you?"
An Jianwen smiled faintly, "Go."
"We still have some things to do, so we won't go." An Yiyao refused gently, mainly because he was afraid that An Yiheng would cause trouble again.
The meeting hadn't ended yet, so how could anyone else have the leisure to eat cake? After all, not everyone was as big as An Cixin.
In the end, only An Jianwen and An Yang went.
After the three of them walked away, An Yiheng grumbled quietly, "Flatterer."
As soon as he finished cursing, he looked up and met his brother's warning gaze, which was sharp and intimidating.
An Yiheng shrank his neck and tactfully changed the subject, "Brother, I have something else to do. I'll be leaving first."
"Where are you going?" An Yiyao asked casually.
An Yiheng said vaguely, "I have a meeting with some friends to discuss something. It's almost too late, so I'll leave first."
Fearing that An Yiyao would ask further questions, he threw down his words and ran away in such a hurry that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
An Yiyao frowned and turned to look in the direction of the conference hall. His eyes were dark and mysterious.
…
The other side.
An Ci and the other two returned to the castle. As soon as they entered, they saw Eric sitting on the sofa in a lazy manner.
Anyang looked at him, a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here?" Eric crossed his legs and looked at him lazily, his voice filled with a playful smile.
"Besides, I should be the one asking you this. Why are you two here?"
You should know that after the courses here are over, An Yiyao and others can no longer enter or leave the manor at will unless they get permission.
Anyang shrugged and said, "Come and have some cake." Then he sat down on the sofa diagonally opposite Eric.
Eric snorted, clearly unconvinced, "You came all this way here just for a piece of cake?"
"No?"
The two of them are still the same as before, bickering whenever they meet.
An Jianwen interrupted with a smile and explained, "The head of the family is having a meeting, and we are here to listen. Yi Yao and the others are here too."
Eric was stunned, looked up at him, and asked curiously, "What meeting?"
"The head of the family wanted Xiao Ci to take over a company, but Xiao Ci refused and replaced the company with a casino." After saying that, An Jianwen looked at An Ci with a helpless smile on his face.
"Xiao Ci, what do you think? The head of the family asked you to take over the company for your own good. You shouldn't have refused."
Aunt Hong came over and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes when she heard An Jianwen's words, but because the occasion was not right, she didn't say much, put down the tray and left.
An Ci leaned forward, picked up one of the cups of coffee, and smiled. "Brother Wen, you know my grades. If I take over the company, it will be ruined sooner or later. Besides, I finally don't have to go to class anymore. If I take over the company, I will lose my freedom. I won't do something that will lose money."
"Exactly. She doesn't care about the club's affairs." Eric took over and complained, "She's just responsible for having fun."
An Jianwen chuckled, "How are you going to manage all of the An family's assets in the future?"
"I don't know. We'll see when the time comes." An Ci took a sip of coffee and said lazily, "Anyway, I have plenty of money to spend. I'll enjoy myself for as long as I can."
Anyang swallowed the cake in his mouth and gave her a thumbs-up with one free hand, "You have a really good attitude."
An Ci smiled, "It's okay."
"You're not that bad, you idiot. Who can be as carefree as you?" Eric rolled his eyes at her, then thought of something and smiled slyly, "Which casino will grandpa give you to manage?"
"I don't know, I didn't ask." An Ci glanced at him, "Why are you asking this?"
Eric looked eager to try, "Take me with you to play."
An Ci had just finished breakfast and was not very hungry yet. He took two bites of cake and put down his dessert fork.
"You want Grandpa to break our legs?"
She dared to guarantee that if the two of them went to gamble together, her grandfather would make them both a meal of braised pork with rattan sticks, and then pack her up and send her to work at the company the next second.
Eric saw An Zhenxiong's majestic face and couldn't help but shudder.
Forget it, saving his life is more important.
He changed the subject abruptly, "Didn't An Yiyao and the others come too? Why didn't they come with you?"
"Come on, you know An Yiheng's temper." An Yang said, "Every time he sees Xiao Ci, he's like a firecracker."
Hearing this, Eric looked at An Ci inquiringly, "Is he causing you trouble again?"
"No, we just had a few words." An Ci said nonchalantly.
Eric frowned, his tone filled with undisguised disdain, "Why is this guy still asking for a beating like before? Why doesn't An Yiyao do anything about him?"
"He's not a kid anymore. Do you still expect him to obey his brother like he did when he was little?" Anyang said, "I saw him getting close to the Colt family a while ago."
Eric's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Which one of the Colt family?"
"It's the only child of the Colt family." An Yang said, turning to look at An Jianwen, "It's the restaurant we met for dinner last time, but you couldn't come because of something unexpected."
An Jianwen frowned, as if in deep thought, "Are you sure you didn't see the wrong person?"
"How is that possible? He is the only child of the Colt family. He is very recognizable with his iconic red hair." Anyang said firmly.
Eric was puzzled. "How did An Yiheng get involved with the Colt family? Did you hear what they said?"
Anyang shook his head, a helpless look on his face, "I don't know about that. They went into the box and I couldn't follow them."
"Xiao Ci, you..." Eric turned his head and prepared to talk to An Ci, but the latter was concentrating on eating the cake, as if the sky was falling and the only thing in her eyes was the cake.
The corner of his mouth twitched, "Brother, can you please stop eating for now?"
"What?" An Ci raised his head and looked at him with an innocent look on his face. "What are you talking about?"
Eric, "..."
