Anning had no idea who had come, and just casually replied with that sentence. But when she finished eating and looked up, she was stunned.
The visitor was not someone she knew, but she had a close relationship with him.
It's Anze.
She blinked, took out a tissue, and wiped the few remaining oil stains off her hands. "What brings you here?"
Her tone was calm, without any hint of joy at seeing her brother.
Now that Anze has found this place, he must truly be at peace. Where is Anning living now?
Now, only a few hours have passed since she and Anze left. The fact that he was able to find this place so quickly means either he already knew where Anning lived but didn't come, or with the An family's strength, it wouldn't take him long to find this kind of information.
Anning believes the actual outcome leans towards the latter.
In other words, after Anze returned, he suddenly wanted to know where Anning was living, so he sent someone to investigate. After the investigation, he rushed over and found Anning sitting by the roadside eating grilled cold noodles.
Anze sensed the confusion in Anning's tone, his fingers tightened slightly, and after a long pause, he finally spoke, "Xiaoning, do you want to come back with me? You don't have to live at home; I own other properties, like Shengshi Fanghua, Jingyuan Garden, and Jingming Chenyuan..."
"Are you going to give me a whole apartment or let me stay here for a while?" An Ning couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted An Ze's boastful talk before asking the question that concerned her the most.
Anze paused briefly, then quickly replied, "I'll give you a set!"
An Ning immediately beamed with joy, "My brother, my dearest brother, we're family, no need for formalities. Do you have the key to the house in Jingming Chenyuan with you? If not, I'll go back with you to get it?"
This time, An Ning's smile was incredibly genuine; if she weren't so young, her face would have been covered in wrinkles from smiling so much.
No younger brother is as reliable as a real brother. He'll give away a house without warning, a house worth hundreds of thousands per square meter, and it has to be his brother.
Seeing An Ning's attitude change so quickly, An Ze immediately realized what was going on and hurriedly nodded, "Then this person?"
He was referring to Chen Yan, who was sitting to the side.
At this moment, Chen Yan's eyes were fixed on An Ning, as if he wanted to see through An Ning to see something.
But there was really nothing about An Ning that he could see through; it was just that An Ning asked Chen Yan for a number before leaving.
They said they would contact him when the time came.
Whether they will actually contact each other or not, nobody knows.
The only person who can truly control their own life is to find peace within themselves.
Watching An Ning and An Ze's departing figures, Chen Yan slowly stood up and walked away without looking back.
The black plastic bag he had been carrying all the way was left on the stall owner's table. The owner, noticing he hadn't taken his things, called out to him, "Young man! You forgot your things!"
"Here you go."
Chen Yan didn't pause for a moment, continuing to walk straight towards the crowded area.
His appearance was rather cold, and only when he was facing An Ning did he show a gentle expression. Now, walking down the street with a cold face, anyone with eyes wouldn't bump into him.
She has a unique, aloof quality.
This is a quality that is hard to cultivate in poor families.
After An Ning left, he made absolutely no attempt to hide anything.
The stall owner, watching him leave, had a strange look on his face. He muttered to himself and walked toward the table where the black plastic bag was. When he opened the bag, he was dumbfounded.
It was full of cash. Apart from a few one-yuan bills, the smallest denomination was twenty yuan, with fifty-yuan bills being the most numerous, followed by red one-hundred-yuan bills.
If it were just a few hundred yuan, the stall owner would close his eyes and grit his teeth and accept it, but this is different.
There must be at least tens of thousands of yuan here, right? If someone reports him to the police for stealing it, he'll probably spend the rest of his life in jail.
The stall owner thought long and hard but didn't know what to do. In the end, he chose to contact Anning over calling the police.
"Xiao Ning, is your friend out of his mind? He left tens of thousands of yuan with me and said he didn't want it anymore. You should take the money back to him later. If he claims the money is missing and calls the police, I'll be in deep trouble."
When An Ning received the call after leaving An Ze's company with the keys, she was completely stunned. It took her a while to process it before she asked, "My friend? You don't need the money anymore? Which friend?"
I seem to have made quite a few friends lately... Which one is the boss referring to?
Just as Boss An was racking his brains, the boss revealed the crucial information, "It was the guy who came with you just now, the one carrying a big black plastic bag. He left this money with me. Don't you think he's crazy?"
An Ning paused for a moment, then said, "I think he's also got some mental issues."
Didn't you mean all your possessions?
Are you just going to throw it away like that?
Chen Yan had just reached the company entrance when she received a call from an unknown number. Looking at the answer button that was flashing, Chen Yan's raised finger hovered over the screen for a while before pressing it.
Could it be her?
"Hey, are you out of your mind? Don't you want your money back?"
An Ning was walking into the Fengchao locker, carrying a large bag in her hand. Her tone was anything but polite, "If you don't want it, I'll take it. If you do, I'll give you a spot to pick it up later tonight."
Standing below the Universal Entertainment building, Chen Yan looked up at the tall building in front of him and smiled. "Okay, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, he strode straight inside, and even the aura of "keep away" emanating from him dissipated considerably.
"Young Master, Miss was just asking to see you. You're finally back."
Chen Yan walked to the private elevator, just as the elevator came down. A middle-aged man stepped out and bowed respectfully to him.
He nodded slightly. "What do you want?"
The middle-aged man followed Chen Yan inside. "She said you went to find your savior, leaving her alone to confront the police. It scared her to death."
"Scared to death? Didn't she keep saying she wanted to go to police academy? If she's scared to death just by entering a police station, she should give up on that idea as soon as possible."
The middle-aged man stood ramrod straight, without saying a word.
Who would dare to accept such a statement?
An Ning, the founder of Universal Entertainment, had actually met him before; it was at the birthday party that Jiang Yu had taken her to.
The old man surrounded by everyone was named Chen Zhiyuan.
And this Chen Zhiyuan is Chen Yan's grandfather.
In other words, Chen Yan and Jiang Yu are brothers.
As for An Ning... Chen Yan first met An Ning at that birthday banquet.
The girl's attire was deliberately contrary to the old man's preferences, but this did not diminish her confident and radiant aura.
After noticing her, Chen Yan realized that An Ning had come with Jiang Yu.
His brother, who had been to prison.
On what grounds?
