In a blink of an eye, it was Friday, the day of the party.
On this morning, An Xing and Lu Tianchen went to work as usual, but left early in the afternoon. The banquet was held in the city center, and Lu Tianchen pulled people over to meet with the An family at the banquet venue.
"Xingxing's suit looks great." Chen Ying walked over with a smile when she saw her son, "Did you buy this yourself?"
An Xing also thought that her clothes looked good and she immediately puffed out her chest with pride.
"No, Brother Chen bought it for me!"
Chen Ying: ...
Fortunately, her husband and son were behind her and did not hear this.
The boy didn't know how his mother felt sad, and he walked over with a smile, gently touched the woman's dress, and pinned a delicate rose brooch on it.
"Mom, this dress is so beautiful. She is indeed an internationally renowned designer. She has such a good taste!"
When Chen Ying looked down, she knew that it was a brooch made by Zi himself, which became the brightest embellishment of her dress.
She covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, tapping the boy's forehead in a reproachful manner.
"Slippery-tongued."
When An Xing looked up, the little curly-haired boy was very proud!
He was admiring himself when he looked out and saw An Zhaoming and Ning Rong walking side by side. He was stunned.
The tall and dignified middle-aged man and the tall and handsome young boy were wearing the same suit, but one was wearing a black suit with a dark blue tie, while the other was wearing a dark blue suit with a royal blue shirt underneath and a silver-gray tie, looking young and steady overall.
From this perspective, the two men are simply cast in the same mold, definitely father and son.
Chen Ying kept looking at An Xing with concern, a little worried that the cub would be disappointed or even sad - although from her understanding of the cub, this little fool was only jealous that others were taller or more masculine than him.
"Wow, you look so handsome!"
Just as Chen Ying thought, An Xing did not feel lost or sad. He approached Ning Rong, his almond eyes full of surprise.
I won’t talk about how I had seen Ning Rong several times in my previous life. When I saw Ning Rong in this life, he was either being chased by gangsters or wearing a huge doll costume. Later, he moved into the An family and his clothes were also very casual.
Although the marketing department of An Ning Jewelry has dress code requirements, An Xing is far away after all, and the number of times they have lunch together has also decreased as Ning Rong becomes busy. Besides, when it comes to going to work, Chen Ying will certainly not match Ning Rong with a suit that is too exaggerated.
So when the boy who came over in an expensive suit made An Xing feel instantly dazzled.
Seeing An Xing, the boy's tense face finally relaxed a little. He touched the bow tie on his neck uncomfortably, and then looked at the boy's white suit and said sincerely:
"You look pretty, too."
Like an exquisite little prince.
Lu Tianchen, who walked over slowly, glanced at Ning Rong casually, and focused his attention on the little fool. Seeing that the little fool was still teaching the wolf cub how to behave in a while, he looked at An Zhaoming.
"Uncle An, are you going to take them both in later?"
"I'll take care of Xingxing, and his mother will take care of Rongrong."
An Zhaoming was smiling as he watched his two sons getting along harmoniously, and he replied when he heard this.
"If Rongrong follows me, with the way we are doing...someone will probably suspect that I have an illegitimate child outside, hahaha!"
Lu Tianchen: ...
Okay.
After a brief conversation, the five of them walked towards the banquet hall together. Lu Tianchen entered first, followed by the An family.
Even though An Zhaoming had considered it and made arrangements, when the An family showed up at the banquet, many people were still shocked and speechless.
Who is the boy that Mrs. An is with? Why does he look so much like Mr. An?
More than just resemblance, several people who knew An Zhaoming in his early years felt that this boy looked exactly like An Zhaoming when he was young, which made them even more shocked and confused.
So the eyes that fell on An Xing and Shen Ying became extremely sympathetic.
Oh my god! Mr. An is such an honest man, but he actually had such a big illegitimate child and brought him to the party!
Of course, these were the thoughts of those who were not so close to the An family. Those who were really close to the An family, seeing An Xing and the boy sitting in a corner, surrounded An Zhaoming.
"Old An, what's wrong with that kid? You're an adult now, please don't be confused!"
An Xing pulled Ning Rong to sit in the corner of the banquet hall, which meant that they did not want to socialize and did not want to be disturbed. Although some of the younger generation were very curious, they did not go over when they saw the two sitting in the corner.
Ning Rong looked around, feeling a little strange.
"We don't need to go out and socialize?" Although he didn't really want to socialize, if he needed to...
"No need, we're just showing up today, and we'll leave the main task to mom and dad."
Knowing what Ning Rong was worried about, An Xing patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Your identity has not been announced yet. If you go out to socialize now, others won't know how to treat you. It won't be any use talking to each other, as they will think you are a bastard."
Ning Rong understood and then fell into deep thought.
"…Then what's the point of me dressing so grandly?"
"Uh, mom's wish?"
An Xing and Ning Rong looked at each other for a few seconds, both revealing a slightly frightened expression—Chen Ying loved dressing up the child too much, it was so difficult.
The An family and Lu Tianchen both needed to socialize, so they sat in a corner and chatted. An Xing wanted to teach Ning Rong all her social skills at once, so she kept talking and drinking juice, and soon she wanted to go to the bathroom.
When he tried to ask Ning Rong to go to the bathroom with him, he was rejected.
"Go by yourself. I'll stand up and take a look." The boy said indifferently, "I'm not a child. What are you worried about?"
The An family still expected Ning Rong to inherit the family business in the future, and Ning Rong really couldn't be as socially anxious as herself. Thinking of this, An Xing got up heartlessly and went to the bathroom by herself.
When he solved the problem and came out to wash his hands, he ran into Chen Bo.
"Brother Bo is here too! How is Brother Xiao Yi doing lately?"
An Xing had to work during the week to accompany Lu Tianchen, and go home to spend time with his family on weekends. When he was free, he had to study the competition entries. As a busybody, he had no time to spare, so he naturally did not visit Xiao Yi, who was paralyzed in the hospital. But judging from the chat records in the Young Masters group, Chen Bai often visited Xiao Yi.
Thinking of the group of young masters, An Xing wondered whether he should find a way to bring Ning Rong in as well.
"Xiao Xingxing, what's going on with that kid outside?"
Chen Bai came over, hugged the person with a serious face, and asked with his head down.
"Is that your father's illegitimate child?"
An Xing shuddered and hurriedly covered Chen Bai's mouth.
"Oh my god! No no! Brother Bo misunderstood!"
Chen Bo narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
August was already halfway through, and the school was not far from starting. If An Xing was not mistaken, the An family would have held a formal banquet in September at the latest to announce Ning Rong's identity. Considering that Chen Bai's words were quite influential among the younger generation, An Xing did not hide the truth from him.
"...What?! Is it true that the truth is not revealed until 20 years after the wrong child was born?!!!"
The young man was full of doubts about his life, then he looked at the round-faced boy and felt sympathy.
The cute little boy had been a rich young master for twenty years, but then, poof! His happiness was gone!
The poor little kid who was taken away by mistake was completely unaware of it and just nodded and sighed seriously.
"Yeah, fate is unpredictable."
Chen Bo: “…”
"So what are you going to do? Is that kid easy to get along with?"
The young man's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. He didn't want Xingzai to be taken away by mistake. Now that Xingzai's biological parents have passed away, if Ning Rong doesn't like Xingzai and insists on driving him away...
Then Xiao Yi would definitely be willing to support his little lucky star!
Chen Bo suddenly understood and was about to say something to comfort him when he heard the young man say:
"Ning Rong is great! He's a good person!"
Chen Bai: …
"Besides, it was an accident that we took the wrong baby. Ning Rong, he, he suffered a lot in the past."
The young man suddenly felt overwhelmed and quickly waved his hand to signal the boy to shut up.
"Alright, alright, I got it."
It can be seen that the real young master must have thought that this little idiot was stupid and not worth being afraid of, so he did not regard him as a threat that must be eliminated.
An Xing leaned over with a flattering look on his face.
"Brother Bo, when Ning Rong's identity is revealed, he is not familiar with our circle, will you guide him?"
Chen Bai's heart moved.
He has always been good at judging people. That boy grew up in an ordinary family, but he seemed to be born noble.
It's not that he has class discrimination, it's just that young people who grow up in ordinary families will be more or less lost when they first enter the world of wealth and fame, but that boy is very different.
Although he couldn't say anything specific, he could vaguely sense that this young master would be a very good heir when he grew up. In this case, it wouldn't be a bad idea to establish a good relationship in advance.
But... Chen Bai looked at the young boy in front of him. From his light brown almond eyes, he could not see any resentment or hatred. He just felt that it was unexpected but reasonable. He reached out and touched the boy's head, then smiled and accepted the olive branch.
"If he is as you say, a good person, then of course I welcome him."
Chen Bai loves to organize parties, is well-informed and knows how to handle things. The Chen family has an older son who is in charge of the family, and the two brothers have a good relationship. Chen Bai still has some appeal among young people. With Chen Bai as a matchmaker, Ning Rong will at least not be excluded in the circle of rich young masters.
As for the rest, it depends on Ning Rong himself. After all, Ning Rong is the one who will inherit the family business, not him, An Xingxing!
When Ning Rong inherits the family business...he will pack his small bag and set sail!
An Xing's eyes sparkled as he returned to the banquet hall with Chen Bai to look for Ning Rong. His good mood ended the moment he saw the woman next to Ning Rong.
Tan Xiu, Uncle An's wife, was standing in front of Ning Rong, smiling and saying something to him.
This second aunt looked gentle and dignified, but in fact she often bullied An Xing secretly and spoke in a sarcastic tone. Compared with the uncles and aunts of the Shen family, An Xing didn't like this second aunt at all.
But no matter how much he disliked them, An Xing still stood in the corner. He didn't go over and relied on his good relationship with Ning Rong to prevent Ning Rong and Tan Xiu from talking to each other - after all, Tan Xiu was also Ning Rong's relative.
After Tan Xiu left, An Xing pulled Chen Bai over. When Ning Rong looked over, he asked in a low voice:
"What did she say to you?"
"If it's boring."
Ning Rong glanced at the person next to An Xing. The young man was tall, with slightly long hair tied behind his head, revealing a smooth and full forehead and a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes. When he smiled, it was very blushing.
"This is Chen Bo, the second son of the Chen family. I call him Brother Bo."
An Xing introduced.
Ning Rong silently glanced at the young man, complaining in his heart.
He doesn't even call him his legitimate brother, but calls him brother all day long outside... Does Lu Tianchen know that this little fool has so many good brothers?
...Oh, Lu Tianchen is also his brother Chen, only he has not become a brother yet.
