An Zhaoming and Shen Ying met when they were young, fell in love freely, and have been married for more than 20 years. They are as happy as honey.
After An Zhaoming expanded Anning Jewelry, he had a lot of wealth, and he maintained a good appearance and figure, and was very charming even in middle age. Chen Ying came from a scholarly family and was a well-known designer. She was spoiled before and after marriage, and her life was smooth and she was well-maintained. When she walked outside, you couldn't tell that she had a 20-year-old son.
Such two people are undoubtedly envied by many people. However, no matter how many temptations they encounter outside, they are determined and have never done anything to let each other down.
An Xing felt that if Chen Ying heard what Lu Tianchen said at this moment, the friendly relationship between the An family and the Lu family that had lasted for many years might be ruined.
He tried his best to control the twitching corners of his mouth, stared at the man for a while, and then slowly lowered his eyes. Having grown up together, he knew what kind of expression he should make to make Lu Tianchen soften his heart.
Only if Lu Tianchen softens his heart can he get away with it.
The boy's round almond eyes, when he focused on a person, it was as if that person was his whole world. But when the corners of his eyes drooped, his eyelashes drooped, and the corners of his lips slightly pursed, he looked pitiful. Like a small animal whose fur was wet by the rain, you couldn't help but want to rub him and make him happy again.
Anyway, Lu Tianchen looked at An Xing like this and wanted to go over and hug the boy to comfort him. He just couldn't help but move his fingers, and the boy stretched out his hand and took the file bag.
"Brother Shen, let's eat."
The boy whispered, "How pitiful."
The words Lu Tianchen wanted to say were stuck in his mouth and he couldn't say anything anymore.
An Xing kept a pleading expression, and only felt relieved when he saw the man didn't ask any more questions and continued to eat. He retracted his gaze, rubbed the file bag for a while, and finally put it aside without opening it.
It is illegal to forge a paternity test report, so An Xing gave the hair to Lu Tianchen. Firstly, he did not have the ability to keep the test completely confidential, and secondly, in order to avoid the chaos in his previous life, he hoped that this matter would not be known to everyone. Lu Tianchen was a reliable person, and he would definitely not gossip outside after knowing the result.
He already knew the result of the paternity test, but when Lu Tianchen got the result, he was probably quite shocked and thought he didn't know. But they always had to make the handover, so at this moment, he should have been shocked, sad, unbelievable, and even suspected that Lu Tianchen was deceiving him...
However, An Xing didn't want to treat Lu Tianchen like a fool and act in front of him.
Lu Tianchen was very smart, otherwise he wouldn't have secured the position of Lu's heir at such a young age. Growing up together, An Xing had seen others pretend to be pitiful to Lu Tianchen, but they were all seen through by that person at a glance.
In An Xing's mind, there was nothing that Lu Tianchen couldn't do. He also knew that Lu Tianchen was so harmless in front of him because he cared about him, a friend he grew up with, cared about him, trusted him, and was willing to turn a blind eye.
So, although in theory An Xing should act out a bit at this time, such as showing his panic and sadness, or even crying and begging the man not to tell the truth, so that the man would sympathize with him and feel sorry for him... but An Xing couldn't do it. He didn't want to treat Lu Tianchen as a fool, and didn't want to take advantage of his feelings.
An Xing picked up the chopsticks and thought absentmindedly. So let's leave it at that for now. Even if Lu Tianchen wanted to ask him something, he couldn't act and lie, nor could he tell him about rebirth. Keeping silent and letting the other party imagine was the best way.
An Xing continued to eat absentmindedly. In Lu Tianchen's eyes, it was as if the boy had seen something from his attitude, but was unwilling to appear vulnerable and embarrassed in front of him. That was why he refused to see the test results in person and only pretended to be strong, wanting to lick his wounds alone.
That’s right, An Xing is not actually the biological child of the An family. For such a big thing, it is best not to let outsiders know before it is resolved internally, otherwise it is likely to cause unrest in many aspects.
The man sighed, reached out his hand, and rubbed the boy's head across the table.
"Don't keep it to yourself when you have troubles, tell me."
"An Xing, what I care about is not your last name, but you are you."
Lu Tianchen could not hide the truth about such a big event, nor could he help An Xing deceive the An couple just because of his friendship with him. That was not his character.
Just from his personal perspective, An Xing is the most important and he will always stand behind him.
"I'll stay with you."
An Xing was shocked and subconsciously raised his head, bumping into the man's deep eyes. There was a deep meaning in those eyes that he couldn't understand, and there was a lot of comfort, calmness and reliability.
It was exactly the same peace of mind he had felt when he went to Brother Chen when he encountered trouble since he was a child.
The boy sniffed, leaned over, rubbed his hand against the man's, which had not yet been retracted, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Okay, Brother Shen, I know you are the best to me."
So good.
He didn't open it in front of Lu Tianchen. When he got on the car to go home, An Xing slowly opened the file bag and saw the result at a glance. His nose was sore and he almost cried. Even though he held back his tears, his eyes were completely red.
I'm so angry. Why would such a thing as the wrong baby happen to him and Ning Rong?
After the truth of his previous life was exposed, An Xing couldn't accept it for a while. Maybe some people who have a bad relationship with their parents would think that it would be better if they were not their biological children, but An Xing never had such self-loathing thoughts. He was loved by the An family since he was a child. His family was warm. Except for An Hao's family, the cousins of the Shen family got along with him very harmoniously.
The An family is not like some wealthy couples who only care about making money and ignore their children, or who play with each other for the sake of profit and have no real love for their children. They are not the kind of wealthy couples who treat their children as their property, forcing An Xing to study from a young age and asking him to grow up to be an heir.
An Xing prefers liberal arts, so the An couple didn't force him to study science. An Xing likes art and design, so they found a teacher to teach him carefully. An Xing didn't want to inherit the company and had no interest in business. Neither Chen Ying nor An Zhaoming blamed him and never put pressure on him.
How could An Xing want to break off relations with such a good pair of parents? But it was also because he was well-educated and really loved them, which made him even more sad.
——When he was being spoiled by the An couple, were their children living well?
——When he was snuggling in their arms and acting coquettishly, were his parents doing well?
A person with a conscience will not turn a blind eye to the suffering of others just because he lives a happy life. The better An Xing lived in the past twenty years, the more guilty and sad he felt after knowing the truth. He would rather not have the wrong child than being a spoiled young master of a wealthy family.
Even if it wasn't his fault at all, he was still a victim.
The boy huddled in the back seat, looking as listless as a kitten drenched by heavy rain. The online car-hailing driver glanced at him several times through the rearview mirror, feeling very sympathetic.
Poor kid, maybe he didn’t get into the university of his dreams, or was rejected by the girl he liked? His little curly hair is all flat.
Still looking dejected, An Xing returned home and scared his father and mother as soon as he entered the house.
"What's wrong with the stars? What happened?"
Chen Ying looked at her son in surprise, and An Zhaoming also frowned.
"What happened to you at the training session today?"
After saying this, they felt something was wrong. They looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.
Their son has been silly since he was young. He doesn't feel anything when he is excluded. When he was young, he could play in the mud by himself for an entire afternoon. When he grew up, he could sit in a corner and eat until the banquet was over. How big of a problem must he have encountered to make him so sad? !
Meeting the worried gazes of the two, An Xing felt even sadder.
It's something I've known for a long time, and it's something I've experienced once before, but when I saw the paternity test results again, it was still... painful.
“No, it’s okay…”
The boy held back his tears.
"I just read a very sad novel... oooo..."
An Jia couple: ...
What kind of novel must have a be ending to make this silly boy so sad?
If I continue to stay in front of the two of them, people will definitely notice something wrong, but I can't completely not explain it, because that would arouse suspicion.
An Xing wiped his eyes vigorously and rushed upstairs with the briefcase.
"I'm going to go cry for a while, sob! This is so tragic!"
He was just emotional at the moment, after all, he had already accepted the fact. In this situation, he couldn't be honest, otherwise it would be easy to be exposed.
Besides, if a bomb is dropped so late at night, An Zhaoming won’t have to go to work tomorrow.
An Xing thought aggrievedly that he must tell the truth this Friday.
