An Xing has seen many kinds of looks since he was a child, jealous, greedy, flattering, calculating...
But those looks were very reserved, carefully hiding their thoughts. He had never seen such evil so unabashedly.
And his expression changed so quickly. Just now he wanted to rush up and bite him a few times, and now... he also wants to bite him, the kind of bite that wants to tear a piece of flesh from his body.
An Xing slowly stood up and moved behind Ning Rong, letting the boy's tall body cover her.
Uncle Ning and Liu Yun were feeling extremely complicated at this moment, with excitement and regret intertwined on their faces, eventually twisting into greed.
The Ning family was not wealthy. When the two elders passed away, they only had some money they had saved and an old house. Uncle Ning was the eldest son and had a house allocated by his company, so he asked for the money and gave the old and dilapidated house to the second son, Ning Jingze.
Over the years, the two scholars in the second family were just poor teachers who had never made a name for themselves. In comparison, Uncle Ning's family lived a better life and even planned to send his son abroad.
Uncle Ning didn't have much affection for his younger brother. He felt even more upset when he saw that his younger brother's son - Ning Rong - had excellent academic performance since elementary school and was admitted to S University in the college entrance examination, while his own son only got into a second-tier university.
So, when his younger brother and sister-in-law died unexpectedly, and he learned that Ning Rong was not actually from their Ning family, and then he heard that the old and dilapidated neighborhood of the Ning family was going to be demolished and he could get a large sum of demolition compensation, he was immediately tempted.
Anyway, Ning Rong is not their child, so he just needs to find a nice excuse and take the house.
Even if his excuses weren't very good... so what? Ning Rong was a useless student, and the Ning family didn't have anyone else.
So what if Ning Rong was admitted to S University? His son will study abroad in the future, and he will definitely be more successful than Ning Rong when he comes back!
Liu Yun, not to mention, disliked neither Gu Lan, her sister-in-law, nor Ning Rong, her nephew who was better at studying than her son. When Uncle Ning proposed to take away the Ning family's old house, she agreed with both hands.
The previous times when she went to Ning Rong to ask for a house, there were always problems of one kind or another, and Liu Yun had been holding back her anger for a long time. It was her idea to come to the cemetery this time.
They all knew that Ning Rong was a sentimental man. They had both been there on the day of the funeral and were surprised at the secret compartment under the altar. When they asked Ning Rong, he wouldn't tell them. They were just trying their luck in coming to the cemetery this time.
Anyway, there is no surveillance here. If we smash the secret compartment and take out the things inside, we will know what they are. If Ning Rong hides the property certificate here, wouldn’t that be even better!
They even chose to come at noon on a weekday, thinking that no one would come during this time period, but they never expected to run into Ning Rong.
But now, the two of them had no time to be upset about the failure of the plan, and all their thoughts were focused on another thing - this precious little master who grew up in a wealthy family was actually the child of the second son and his wife?
And Ning Rong is actually the child of those two rich people? !
The boy was standing not far away, wearing a printed T-shirt and denim shorts. He couldn't tell the brand, but the fabric was good. The only thing Uncle Ning could recognize was the sneakers on the boy's feet.
His son had wanted to buy a pair of shoes, but the price of the shoes was equivalent to half a year's salary. And Uncle Ning knew that even if he bought them for his son, he would never allow his son to wear them to the cemetery, as it would bring bad luck if he stepped on them!
But this young master, wearing expensive sneakers, entered the cemetery without a care in the world!
Liu Yun looked at An Xing's face carefully and finally saw something: this boy had a pair of almond-shaped eyes like his sister-in-law, with a very light eye color, but his face and lip shape were very similar to the second son of the Ning family.
So, the Ning family's child was mistakenly taken away from the young master of a wealthy family? Now this young master is a member of the Ning family? !
An Xing hid beside Ning Rong, watching the two people's greed and desire twisted into regret and annoyance, and finally tried to squeeze out kindness on their faces. The middle-aged woman was even more powerful, she actually squeezed out a few tears.
"My nephew! We finally found you! Your parents are suffering!"
An Xing: ...
No way, no way, have these two people changed so quickly? They can even call him "nephew"? !
The boy's strange gaze was like a slap in the face, slapping Liu Yun's face hotly and making her face turn red.
She also knew that she was embarrassing herself, which was why she scolded An Xing for meddling in other people's business. She didn't expect that An Xing was her second brother's child and was more qualified than anyone else to take care of today's affairs.
But compared to the huge benefits that the other party can bring, what is this embarrassment? Liu Yun shamelessly pretended not to see the boy's shocked expression and took a few steps forward.
"My dear nephew, I'm glad to have found you! Ever since we found out that your parents took the wrong child away, your uncle and I have been in so much pain..."
Chen Ying couldn't listen any longer, and said quietly behind her sons:
"Is it torture? But you were so energetic when you were robbing the house!"
Liu Yun paused, pretended not to hear, and continued howling.
"Thank goodness, God was able to find you. I finally have an explanation for my brothers and sisters..."
An Zhaoming also looked indifferent.
"But you pushed Xingxing into the pool last time and you accused him of scamming you."
Liu Yun: …
Seeing that his wife's usual methods of complaining and nagging were of no use, Uncle Ning became anxious. He strode forward, rubbing his hands, and tried to get close to An Xing.
"Oh Xingxing, you are actually a member of our Ning family. When will you return to the Ning family?"
It's obvious that this boy was raised by a rich man and is easy to deceive! Uncle Ning likes to take advantage of his acquaintances!
Although they had misunderstandings with their nephew in the past, they are still blood relatives and the only relatives left in the world!
An Xing finally figured out what these two people were trying to do. He quickly covered his chest, grabbed Ning Rong's clothes, and fell into An Zhaoming's arms.
The boy's light brown eyes were filled with moisture, looking pitiful.
"Mom, I have a headache!"
Ning Rong pushed An Xing into An Zhaoming's arms and turned to stand in front of Uncle Ning and Liu Yun. Liu Yun stretched out her hand out of habit, trying to push Ning Rong away, and then suddenly froze.
The tall and mature middle-aged man and the young man who looked childish but had a terrifying aura, stared at her like ferocious beasts.
"Aunt, Xingxing is not feeling well."
Ning Rong called "Aunt", but this time there was no fluctuation in her eyes, only vigilance and indifference.
"You all came here specially to visit your parents' graves today. You must be very tired now. It's time to go back and rest. As for Xingxing meeting you, let's talk about it another day. What do you think?"
"What do you mean some other day?! We... ugh!"
Uncle Ning wanted to say something, but Liu Yun, who had suddenly come to her senses, covered his mouth. The middle-aged woman looked at Ning Rong with fear, then looked at the boy who fell into his father's arms and pretended to faint. She forced herself to be kind and smiled at An Xing.
"Xingxing, right? What a nice name. Your parents will definitely like it. Since Xingxing is not feeling well today, let's talk about it another day, okay!"
"Rongrong has your uncle's and my cell phone numbers. If you miss us, just call us! We also have a lot of photos of your parents at home. Your aunt will send them to you when the time comes!"
"Then uncle and aunt will leave first this time!"
After saying that, Liu Yun pulled Uncle Ning away and didn't let go until they were out of the cemetery.
"Why don't you let me speak!" Uncle Ning said angrily.
"No matter what you say, you won't get any good in front of Ning Rong! Don't forget, we are here to pick the lock!"
If there was evidence, Ning Rong, that ungrateful boy, would definitely call the police.
Uncle Ning was furious: "But our nephew is there, he must be very rich..."
Liu Yun interrupted her husband: "Now that guy obviously trusts Ning Rong, it's useless for us to say anything. He must think that we are not good people for stealing the house from Ning Rong."
Uncle Ning suddenly became nervous: "What should we do? This won't do. Without that house, how can Hanhan go abroad?"
"Are you stupid? Why are you still thinking about the house now?"
Liu Yun looked very confident.
"The most important thing for us now is to have a good relationship with that kid. Rich people know a lot of important people. If we can please that kid, then we don't have to worry about what we want in the future."
Uncle Ning hesitated: "Can that kid listen to us?"
"Rich families are complicated. Ning Rong is not a simple person either. A little kid like him definitely can't handle it."
Liu Yun's eyes were full of calculation.
"When Ning Rong returns, the two of them will definitely try to rob that family of their money. When that happens, we can talk to our nephew and ask him to get the money for him..."
Liu Yun lowered her voice for the rest of the words, and Uncle Ning listened and smiled with relief.
In the cemetery, seeing the two men walking away, An Xing stopped pretending to be faint and went over to carefully pull Ning Rong away.
"Are you okay?" He comforted her clumsily. "Let's go and see if Mom and Dad's graves have been destroyed by them, shall we?"
Ning Rong came back to his senses, lowered his eyes to look at the worried young boy, responded, and walked towards the tombstone.
Ning Jingze and Gu Lan acted bravely to help others. The school, the rescued children, the village where they taught, and the government all paid for their remains. Although their locations are a bit remote, their tombstones are not shabby.
The two tombstones standing side by side were simple and elegant, with inscriptions engraved on them and photos of the two people embedded in them. The altar in front of the tombstones was very large, and there was a drawer-like secret compartment hidden under the altar.
An Xing leaned over and saw that there were some signs of prying on the secret compartment, but it was not obvious. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to comfort Ning Rong.
"Luckily we came at the right time today, and they haven't been able to destroy this place yet!"
Ning Rong nodded. He couldn't imagine what he would do if they hadn't happened to come today and if those two succeeded and destroyed his parents' tomb...
An Xing hesitated and asked in a low voice:
"What are the relics of my parents? ... Can I know?"
The boy's expression eased a little and he nodded: "Of course."
An Zhaoming and Shen Ying came over, quietly placed the candlesticks and flowers, and then stood behind the two children.
Ning Rong was tall, with long limbs, and beautiful muscle lines from forearm to wrist, with a string of green bodhi on his wrist. An Xing had been curious before, but now he saw the boy pull off the bodhi string, put an exquisite key on it, and open the secret compartment.
An Xing: ...
An Xing asked sincerely: "Won't it be accidentally thrown away like this?"
Ning Rong: "Who would steal the bracelet?"
That’s true. An Xing stopped talking.
The secret compartment opened, revealing a flat wooden box. Ning Rong took out the box and opened it, and An Xing leaned over.
There were nine rings arranged in the box. The first four pairs showed signs of time, while the last one was very new.
"This..." An Xing was a little surprised.
"Mom and Dad's wedding ring."
Ning Rong touched the box and said softly.
"Every five years, they buy a new pair of rings. They haven't had time to buy one this year... so I bought one for them."
The first pair was an ordinary silver ring, as neither of them had much money at the time. Later, the salary of teachers was slightly better, but with Ning Rong, they spent all their money on the child and were not well off.
Even so, they would buy a pair of rings every five years and give them to each other.
There are gold rings, platinum rings, and the latest one, a very beautiful diamond ring. There is only one, but it can be worn by men or women.
Ning Rong was stunned for a while, and when she turned around, she saw An Xing and Shen Ying, one squatting and the other standing, both with tears in their eyes. They both had the same almond eyes as their mother Gu Lan, which made people feel soft in their hearts.
He smiled helplessly and stroked the boy's curly hair comfortingly, while An Zhaoming embraced the woman.
An Xing sniffed and said, "Don't leave the ring here, take it home."
“It’s all alone here.”
Ning Rong also felt that her behavior of putting the wedding ring in was a bit stupid, so she nodded in agreement, took the wooden box, and did not lock the secret compartment.
It's empty anyway, so those two people don't have to have nothing to do and come and steal.
An Xing and Ning Rong burned two appraisal reports, talked for a while, and then extinguished the candles.
The family left the cemetery. Shen Ying looked at her son holding the wooden box and couldn't help but speak.
"Rongrong, can you come back with us tonight? Your room isn't ready yet, but you can sleep with Xingxing. If you go back alone, there will be no one at home to take care of you..."
An Xing also nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, there are delicious foods at home, let's sleep together tonight!"
Ning Rong shook his head.
"Forget it, wait two days."
The boy's face was expressionless, and his eyes were gloomy. An Zhaoming wanted to try to persuade him, but he knew it was useless - it was exactly the same as when he was in a bad mood, he couldn't listen to anyone and just wanted to be alone.
An Zhaoming patted the back of his wife's hand. Chen Ying sighed and stopped talking.
An Xing looked at Ning Rong, then at Chen Ying who was sighing in worry, and came up with a brilliant idea.
That night, when An Zhaoming and Shen Ying hid and sighed, An Xing packed up a small bag, slipped out of the house, asked Uncle Li to take him to Ning Rong's house, and knocked on the door openly.
By the time Ning Rong opened the door, An Xing had already adjusted her expression. She looked over cautiously with her light brown almond-shaped eyes, which were moist.
"I'm broke and can't afford to stay in a hotel. I've returned all the pocket money your parents gave me."
"Since we got the wrong child, I should stay here and you can go back, right?"
Ning Rong: ...
