The circle of young masters from wealthy families is very exclusive. If you don't have the required status, you can't get in at all.
What kind of identity is considered qualified?
An Xing is qualified and An Hao is unqualified.
An Ning Jewelry ranks among the top in the country. An Zhaoming is the actual person in charge of An Ning Jewelry, and An Xing is An Zhaoming's only son.
The Lu family has officially announced that Lu Tianchen is the heir, Lu Tianchen is the only son and has taken over the company.
The person in charge of the Xiao family is Xiao Yi's grandfather, and Xiao Yi is practicing with his own company.
The above three people are qualified, and their identities are legitimate heirs in the legal sense. Regardless of whether they can successfully inherit the family business in the future, in addition to their abilities, they have grown up in the circle since childhood and are familiar with other heirs - in a society based on human relationships, this is very important.
As for An Hao, his father is not the actual person in power, but he threatens the legitimate heir. In fact, in the circle of rich young masters, his identity is rather delicate and even unpopular.
The reason is very simple, no one wants to be stared at by others with ambitions, and want to replace them every day. Everyone will put themselves in An Xing's shoes, so naturally they will not like An Hao.
An Xing leaned on the back of the seat, looking at An Hao who came in from the door, wondering why this person appeared at the party. When he saw the person next to An Hao, he understood what was going on.
The man's name is Sun Cheng. He has a very good relationship with An Hao. When there are gatherings in the circle, he will bring An Hao along seven times out of ten.
Also, this man is very lustful. When An Xing met him before, he was told some unpleasant things in a subtle way, so An Xing doesn't like him very much.
An Xing curled his lips and hid behind Xiao Yi. Ever since he knew that Xiao Yi was Xiao Rui's nephew, An Xing thought that this brother was more reliable. At this time, he naturally pulled the young man's sleeve and muttered in a low voice.
"How come I didn't know my cousin was coming..."
Xiao Yi is not an only child, but his understanding of brothers is limited to the dishonest illegitimate brother in the family, who is always scheming and annoying. He has never felt this way before, being pulled by a little boy's sleeves and complaining softly, he just felt soft in his heart.
His protective desire was overwhelming, and he just wanted to protect the weak little cutie, so he pushed the person behind him and said with a smile:
"Abo didn't do a good job of checking. He didn't even tell us who was coming."
These words were spoken at a normal volume, so Chen Bai naturally heard them. He saw from the corner of his eye that An Xing was being protected by Xiao Yi, and he immediately understood that Xiao Yi was standing up for An Xing.
People in their circle grew up together, and everyone knew that An Xing had artistic talent and knew nothing about the management of the family business. On the contrary, An Hao from the next room joined An Ning Jewelry and was said to be doing quite well.
An Hao was a threat to An Xing, so naturally there was no brotherly love between the two. Xiao Yi's words seemed to be directed at him, but in fact they were talking about An Hao, who was not of high status but was trying to squeeze into this party.
Some people in the circle like to buy stocks, and they may look down on An Xing and turn to befriend An Hao. But people like Xiao Yi and Chen Bai who have real power will not do so, but just wait and see. So when he saw An Hao coming in, Chen Bai was still warm and hospitable.
But in terms of personal preference, he is of course more inclined towards An Xing.
As for Xiao Yi... when did he become as concerned about An Xing as Lu Tianchen?
Chen Bai, the gossip expert, felt that his intelligence database should be updated. He muttered to himself and smiled:
"This is none of my business. Sun Cheng didn't tell me."
The pot was thrown back.
Sun Cheng walked forward carelessly, his eyes glued to An Xing. Seeing An Xing hiding behind Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi's eyes also turned cold, and he grinned.
"Ayi, I brought Ahao here to introduce him to you."
Xiao Yi was stunned.
"Aren't you going to the mountains to play this weekend? An Hao's uncle's house is a car shop."
Sun Cheng said as he sat down opposite them and pointed at An Hao casually.
"A skilled technician recently came to his car dealership. Send your car to them for inspection and maintenance, and you can have fun on the weekend without any worries, right?"
Hearing this, An Xing's eyes widened instantly, and his heartbeat soared. He also remembered that An Hao's uncle, the second aunt's younger brother, was indeed a car dealer.
The An family was well off before they split up, and the Shen and Tan families, who were related to the An family, were also not bad. The younger brother of An's second aunt Tan Xiu was very business-minded. He relied on the relationship between his sister and brother-in-law to open a car dealership in Tangcheng, specializing in car maintenance for rich people, and he did a good job.
An Xing subconsciously tugged at Xiao Yi's sleeve, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He didn't want to think badly of him, but it was such a coincidence that Xiao Yi in his previous life had a car accident while racing...
Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and saw the round-faced boy looking at him eagerly. He coughed and said calmly:
"I said I was going to the mountains this weekend? No."
Sun Cheng was obviously startled and blurted out.
"Why not?!"
Xiao Yi's heart skipped a beat and he stared at Sun Cheng. Sun Cheng also realized that his reaction was wrong and subconsciously glanced at An Hao, but An Hao didn't look at him.
“…”
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Just kidding, of course I'm going."
He looked at An Hao, who had been silent since he came in.
"An Hao, right? Does your family have a car? Sure, give me a business card and I'll drive over some other day."
It sounded as if An Hao followed Sun Cheng here just to attract business.
An Xing saw An Hao's mouth twitch, and he almost couldn't maintain his elegant appearance, and he took out his business card to give to Xiao Yi. He covered his face behind Xiao Yi and laughed out loud.
Xiao Yi: ...
At this time, the waiter brought the seafood porridge that Xiao Yi ordered. Xiao Yi stuffed the porridge to An Xing and rubbed his little curly hair.
An Hao handed over his business card, glanced at An Xing, and said:
"Mr. Xiao has a very good relationship with my cousin."
An Xing buried his head in drinking porridge, and Xiao Yi smiled lazily.
"Yes, Xingxing is sick, and you, her dear cousin, don't even take care of her, but you make us worry about her."
Chen Bo interjected at the right time: "Xingxing has been here for a while. If you are tired, drink the porridge and go back."
An Hao: ...
An Xing said obediently: "Thank you, Brother Xiao Yi. Okay, Brother Bo."
Xiao Yi obviously had his own plans for the weekend, so An Xing stopped talking. As for An Hao, he was too lazy to act anymore.
In this life, An Zhaoming knew that the two children were taken away by mistake, so he spent time to confirm and verify. But in the previous life, An Hao and his family had already obtained the paternity test and knew the truth, but they deliberately concealed it until they suddenly came to the door and caught An Xing's family off guard.
Even someone as smart as An Xing wouldn't believe that there was no bad intention behind this!
He chewed the shrimp in the porridge and began to imagine happily. When An Hao and the others came to cause trouble again, he was shocked to find that the news was already outdated.
It was the weekend, and An Zhaoming and Shen Ying accompanied An Xing to the police station. Ning Rong, Uncle Ning, and Aunt Ning also arrived and were waiting in the mediation room.
"As for your incident, it was mainly caused by an accident."
The police officer looked over with the file in his hand. An Xing was sitting at the table, showing a well-behaved smile. The police officer's expression did not change much, but his tone became more relaxed.
"…Since it was an accident, I suggest that you two reach a settlement. If you agree, please sign this letter of understanding and the matter will not be kept on file."
An Xing reached out to take the letter of apology, but An Zhaoming grabbed her wrist. This abrupt action made everyone's eyes fall on An Xing's left hand which was still bandaged with gauze.
"We can sign a letter of understanding, but Ms. Liu, you have to apologize to my son."
An Zhaoming patted his son's hand and looked at Ms. Liu with a stern expression.
"That day you caused my son to fall into the water accidentally, and afterwards you showed no remorse and slandered him for fraud in front of so many people."
An Zhaoming sneered.
"Our family is also a well-known one. If you slander us like that, any future rumors will cause economic losses and responsibilities that will be borne by you."
"Before signing the letter of understanding, you must apologize to my son and admit that it was you who slandered him."
An Xing retracted his hand and looked at the middle-aged woman obediently.
Ms. Liu's face flushed immediately, and she wanted to jump up and yell, but Uncle Ning pressed her down on the chair and tried to persuade her:
"Think about our son! What if you don't apologize and they don't sign the letter of apology? Do you want to go to jail?"
The policeman coughed, wanting to say that at most a note would be kept in the file, and he would not go to jail. But when he saw the boy sitting obediently, and then looked at the gauze on his arm, he did not say anything.
After all, it was this lady who was wrong, and she deserves an apology.
Ms. Liu was so angry that her face turned red, and she stared at the An family. Her husband tried his best to persuade her, but Ning Rong, that little bastard, sat next to her without saying a word, and didn't even come to apologize on behalf of the elders. He was indeed a heartless person who could never be tamed!
She was angry and ashamed, but she could do nothing about it. She took a few deep breaths, but in the end she could only hold back her hatred and speak in a voice as low as a mosquito's.
"sorry……"
Chen Ying touched An Zhaoming, and An Zhaoming withdrew his hand and motioned for his son to sign.
An Xing signed the letter of understanding, and Ms. Liu also signed her name, and the matter was over.
"What a rich man! He is so arrogant. He bullies us ordinary people who can't afford lawyers!"
After leaving the mediation room, in the police station lobby, Ms. Liu spoke loudly in a sarcastic tone, attracting a lot of people's attention.
"Say less!"
Uncle Ning covered his face and pulled the reluctant Ms. Liu away, ignoring Ning Rong at all.
Ning Rong didn't pay attention to the two people. Seeing that An's father was answering the phone and An's mother was talking to the police, he walked up to An Xing.
"Are you well?"
An Xing puffed out her chest proudly: "Alright! I'm very healthy!"
Ning Rong responded calmly and said nothing more. He felt a gaze falling on him, turned his head and saw that it was An Xing's father.
An Zhaoming put away his phone, feeling a bit complicated. He had already confirmed that Ning Rong was born in the same hospital, and he had also investigated the Ning family, so he was 90% sure.
The man walked over, lowered his eyes to look at the tall and handsome boy who looked very similar to himself, took a deep breath, and then spoke.
"Ning Rong...child, you today..."
"Can you go with us to do a paternity test?"
