An Xing was happily stuffing boiled pork slices into his mouth. When he heard Chen Ying's praise, he immediately puffed out his chest with pride and looked around proudly.
He wanted to open his mouth to speak again, but as soon as he poked his head out, An Rong held him down and told him not to speak.
The boy was like a little mole that had stuck its head out and was knocked back. He was at a loss and didn't understand what was going on. He could only shut up obediently under his brother's five fingers.
Today was a small family celebration. In addition to An Xing's family, there were only a few cousins from the Shen family and Lu Tianchen. An Xing's two roommates and An Rong's friends also came. Because it was the weekend, the young people gathered together to play.
Only Tan Xiu came from the second branch of the An family.
An Zhaoyuan was kicked out of An Ning Jewelry, and he still feels humiliated. Of course, he will not come to An Xing's celebration party. Not to mention An Hao, who hates An Xing and An Rong to death now, how could he come?
The reason why An Hao was called "Little Mr. An" in Anning Jewelry was because of his good sales performance and the expansion of many distribution channels. But shortly before An Xing and An Rong's birthday, An Hao was found to have falsified his performance - those sales channels were not his at all, but other people's performance was registered under his name.
This matter was discovered because An Rong entered the marketing department, and after finding out the situation, he found the people who "voluntarily" put their performance under An Hao's name. It is unknown what An Rong talked to them about, but those people took the initiative to confess the matter.
Suddenly, the evaluation of An Hao in Anning Jewelry plummeted. An Hao felt that his face was hurt and he did not go to the company for a while.
An Hao refused to come over to please An Xing's family, but Tan Xiu still wanted to test something, so she had to come by herself. Who knew that not long after the celebration party started, she was caught by Shen Ying and heard such a sentence.
At that moment, Tan Xiu wanted to pull his hand back and slap Shen Ying in the face!
But Chen Ying was still not satisfied and continued to say happily:
"You may not understand, sister-in-law, but the theme of Xingxing's design this time is mother."
"——This child is so well-behaved and filial!"
An Xing's competition category is the "Brand Culture" category. On the one hand, the design must be novel and have highlights, and on the other hand, it must reflect the brand culture. For example, Lu's jewelry company, the brand culture is elegant life, and Weiqing Jewelry, the brand culture is plagiarism...
Oh, this is not serious culture.
In short, when designing this piece, An Xing drew inspiration from Chen Ying and her biological mother whom she had never met.
He was raised by Shen Ying like a treasure, and was also taken by the woman to study.
He had seen Gu Lan's drawings and photos, and heard from An Rong about the woman's life, how she faced life with optimism and enthusiasm, and how she dealt with difficulties.
Even though he had never met her, he could still picture Gu Lan's vivid appearance.
So, An Xing came up with the idea of designing a set of jewelry for his two mothers.
When he learned from An Zhaoming why An Ning Jewelry was named "An Ning", the design was finally finalized. This set of jewelry is for his mother and family.
Now, this set of jewelry is being mass-produced and the story behind it is being put on the official website and sold in large quantities. People all over the country know about the An family's mistaken baby, and also know the love that the real and fake young master of the An family has for the two mothers. Who wouldn't praise the touching mother-son relationship after seeing it? As a result, the sales of An Ning Jewelry's products have increased significantly recently.
Everyone felt that with two such outstanding characters, the families they came from and the companies they founded would definitely not be bad.
All this seemed absurd and abominable to Tan Xiu. She had barely ignored the outside world's praise for An Xing and An Rong, but now, Shen Ying was showing off in front of her!
She held it back, and even though she was shaking slightly with anger, she still kept her expression straight, chuckled and nodded.
"Yes, sister-in-law is so lucky... to have two such good sons."
As she spoke, Tan Xiu's voice was distorted. She seemed to know that she had lost her composure, so she pulled her hand back and looked away, no longer meeting Shen Ying's gaze.
Chen Ying stared at Tan Xiu for a while and curled the corners of her lips.
An Rong also looked unhappy. Only An Xing looked at his mother and then at his second aunt in confusion, not understanding why the atmosphere between the two was so strange when they were being polite.
Mom was showing off just now, wasn't she? An Xing thought uncertainly. But why should she show off to Second Aunt? That would be like talking to a cow!
The boy didn't think there was anything disrespectful in comparing his second aunt to a "cow".
Seeing that his brother wouldn't let him speak, the boy had no choice but to hum and move closer to Lu Tianchen. The man stuffed him with sweet-scented osmanthus rice wine overnight. After taking a sip of the sweet soup, he immediately forgot what happened just now and drank the rice wine with a smile on his face.
Lu Tianchen rubbed the little fool who had nothing to worry about as long as he had something to eat, and his eyes fell on Tan Xiu.
According to the information we have received so far, Tan Xiu has arranged for people to monitor the Ning couple for the past 20 years. The gang of hooligans knows nothing, and the one who is really in contact with Tan Xiu is the one called "Brother Hai".
Unfortunately, Brother Hai has already hidden himself and has not been caught yet.
Tan Xiu had been using tricks to prevent the Nings from getting a salary increase in school evaluations and housing allocations. This was done to prevent the Nings from improving their financial situation.
At the same time, Tan Xiu once asked the gangsters to surround An Rong before the college entrance examination. It may not be that he really wanted to hurt him before the college entrance examination, but he definitely had bad intentions and wanted him to fail the college entrance examination. This behavior was to ruin An Rong's future.
From a separate perspective, maybe the Ning family couple had offended Tan Xiu before, so they were punished. After all, Tan Xiu was also a pampered young lady at home before she got married, and people who were born well but not well raised always treat others as grass.
But if we look at everything together, if Tan Xiu is not targeting the Ning family, then we have a clearer guess.
——The two children were deliberately swapped in the hospital by Tan Xiu. For the past twenty years, Tan Xiu has been hiding behind the scenes, not wanting An Rong to have a good life.
Of course, a child couldn't possibly have a grudge against Tan Xiu. Therefore, the people that Tan Xiu had been tormenting for twenty years, the ones she really hated and wanted to torture, were An Zhaoming and Shen Ying.
Lu Tianchen felt that he had to talk to An Zhaoming to find out what grudge Tan Xiu had against these two people.
An Xing also felt these secret confrontations to some extent, but he did not think too much about it and just thought that Shen Ying was expressing her dissatisfaction.
The second uncle and second aunt knew that An Rong was taken away by mistake, and even found An Rong's existence, but no matter in the previous life or this life, they did not tell Mom and Dad in advance, but concealed it, and then suddenly came to the door. It is normal for Mom and Dad to be angry for doing such a thing!
Didn’t you see that his father was just smiling and chatting with his older cousin, and wasn’t doing anything to stop his mother from humiliating people?
His second aunt deserved it.
An Xing shook his head and thought, then took another sip of rice wine happily.
Lu Tianchen didn't pay attention to the boy, who had already finished all the sweet-scented osmanthus rice wine that night. He quickly brought some dishes to him and asked him to drink less.
An Xing accepted everything offered to her, put down her bowl and continued eating, and even served food to the man attentively.
"This chicken drumstick is delicious! Brother Chen, try it!"
Looking at the young man's happy appearance, even though Lu Tianchen was feeling a little heavy because of those speculations, he felt much more relaxed at this moment.
An Xing smiled brightly at the man, then turned around and peeked at the interaction between her second cousin and her cousin-in-law.
"Try this meatball, it tastes good."
The woman picked up a meatball and handed it to the man. The man smiled and bowed his head, taking the meatball from the woman's chopsticks.
"That's the smell I like. You really understand me."
The two looked at each other and smiled, filled with the greasy and sour smell of love!
The Shen family all looked numb. These two people had just gotten married, and they were as good as honey. It was gratifying to watch at first, but now it's tiring.
Now they have learned to turn a blind eye. No matter how crazy the newlyweds are about their love, they don't see, hear or eat.
The An couple and An Rong also saw this on their wedding day, but the An couple themselves love to show off their love, while An Rong is a single aristocrat and also had no feelings about it.
Only An Xing, for some well-known reasons, has been more sensitive to these love scenes recently. He peeped at them with great interest and rolled his eyes.
Oh, his brother Chen wants to pursue him, so it is likely that they will feed each other like this in the future.
In the past, it was Brother Chen who picked food for him, and he never fed him.
The boy rolled his eyes, moved closer to the man, and lowered his voice.
"Brother Chen, can you give me an oyster?"
Lu Tianchen glanced around and saw that the oysters were near him, a little far away from the boy, so he reached out and took one for him and put it on the plate.
But An Xing did not eat it immediately. Instead, she continued to look at the man with her round almond-shaped eyes. Her light brown pupils were moist, as if she was acting cute.
"Feed me~"
The whole table fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them in an instant.
There are many meanings in this look. If you take pictures of them one by one, you can probably make a set of emoticons, with the central idea being shock and ridicule. However, under such a look, Lu Tianchen was quite calm. He paused for less than a second before reaching out to take the boy's chopsticks and opening the oyster for him.
Well, so what if he feeds this little fool? It doesn't mean that the little fool accepts his pursuit. It's just a new way of acting coquettishly.
He has seen through this stupid little fool!
The man's actions were inconsistent with his psychological activities. He gently picked up the oysters and handed them to the boy's mouth.
The piece of oyster meat was still emitting heat, trembling before her eyes. An Xing looked at the man's expression as he focused on feeding her, and ate it in one bite, her mouth full of the juicy and delicious oyster meat.
Hmm, the food fed by Brother Chen seems to be especially delicious!
An Xing was thoughtful.
Unfortunately, there were too many family members around today, so it was not convenient to try again. An Xing regretfully thought that next time when she had dinner alone with Lu Tianchen, she could try again. The second half of the celebration party ended peacefully.
It seemed that she was irritated by Shen Ying's boasting. Tan Xiu didn't do anything afterwards, or maybe she was too irritated to do anything. She finished her meal quietly, and when the Shen family suggested leaving, she followed them.
After everyone left, Lu Tianchen and An Zhaoming talked in the study for a while. When they came out and saw An Xing playing games with An Rong and his roommates, they also planned to leave.
"You guys play first! I'll go see Brother Chen off!"
An Xing threw the game console away, ran to Lu Tianchen, and walked out with the man.
It was the end of November, and Tangcheng had entered autumn, with the temperature dropping rapidly. An Xing had just been playing games in her room in a single layer of clothing, and now that she was out, she felt a little cold.
A gust of wind blew by and An Xing shivered.
When Lu Tianchen came out, he felt that An Xing was not wearing enough. He saw the boy's shoulders tremble and said:
"Are you cold? Don't send me off, go back quickly."
"No, I'll walk you to the car."
An Xing insisted that refusing to admit it was his last bit of stubbornness.
"I'm not cold."
Then a gust of wind blew me cold to the bone, and I stood there in a daze.
Lu Tianchen was both angry and amused. He took off his windbreaker and covered the boy's head with it.
"I'm not worried that you'll be cold. I'm worried that the cold air will enter your body and make you sick. Let's go back quickly, ok?"
The man's body temperature was very high, and even his clothes were hot. After being wrapped up, An Xing felt warm all over. He raised his head and looked over blankly.
Lu Tianchen looked at him intently, his figure the only thing in his dark eyes.
"There is actually another way that can keep me from feeling cold."
An Xing spoke for some unknown reason.
"If you kiss me, I might feel warm."
