"If you don't mind my ugliness, why did you give me a beauty pill? Are you kidding me?!" An Ran put the porcelain bottle in her hand heavily on the table, with a hint of anger in her tone that was easily noticeable.
"Ms. An Ran, it's not like that..." The guard was almost crying.
An Ran looked at the guard's tearful expression, and felt a pang of satisfaction in her heart. She kept asking, "If it's not like this, then what is it? Are you giving me a gift or are you here to mock me?!"
The guard looked at An Ran with a sad face, tears already streaming down his face. He didn't know why Miss An Ran was angry. Obviously, all girls like beauty pills...
"Someone, show him away!" An Ran looked at the guard's miserable face and felt a little reluctant to bully him anymore.
Even after the guard left the An Mansion, he still couldn't understand why Miss An Ran was like this... The few times she came here before, Miss An Ran was obviously very easy to talk to...
After seeing off the guests, An Ran walked straight to the backyard. This time, no one was so reckless as to stop her and ask her to receive people. Thinking that she would meet her irresponsible parents soon, she felt much more relaxed.
The backyard was not as chaotic as the front yard, but rather peaceful.
An Changcheng and He Yun sat under the shade of a tree in the yard. He Yun played the Jiaowei guqin, which she had long forgotten which family had given it to her. From time to time, she talked to An Changcheng about something, with a very happy look on her face.
An Ran turned to look at An Changcheng, and saw that An Changcheng was looking at He Yun with a doting look on his face, then he lowered his head and said something to He Yun. He Yun blushed and lowered his head shyly.
The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on both of them, making them look sweet and happy.
but! !
An Ran looked at the happy and harmonious world of the two people, and thought of her own difficult life in the front yard. She gritted her teeth and walked towards them. This beautiful picture was shattered in an instant!
"Father, the thing you mean is showing affection here with mother?!" An Ran resisted the urge to grind her teeth and said to An Changcheng.
An Changcheng wasn't at all embarrassed by An Ran's revelation. Instead, he looked at An Ran and consoled her earnestly, "You're the eldest daughter of the An family. You're still young and need to be tempered. Well, those people just happened to come to you and let you be tempered."
"Then should I thank you for giving me this opportunity?!" An Ran gritted her teeth.
An Changcheng looked at An Ran's furious expression and secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, I didn't go. I don't know what those people did to make Ran Ran so angry...
"Hehe... Ranran, don't be angry. If you get angry, your father and mother will be heartbroken..." An Changcheng pretended to have a sad expression on his face, but his eyebrows and eyes revealed his inner joy.
"Then you will go and receive those people yourself starting tomorrow!" An Ran looked at An Changcheng's joy that was hard to hide. She was really almost mad at him. Sparks were flashing in her eyes and she spoke with gritted teeth.
Seeing that his daughter was angry, He Yun hurried to help persuade An Changcheng.
Under the persuasion of his wife and the coercion of his daughter, An Changcheng had to nod and said that he would go out to entertain guests starting tomorrow.
At this time, the Murong family in the imperial capital also received the news that An Yu had broken through two levels in one year and was very likely to break through to the Venerable level in the future.
In the study of Mr. An in the Murong Mansion, Mr. An was holding the news from Orr College in his hand. By the way, he asked about the engagement with the An family. Only then did he know that Murong Jin had actually canceled the engagement on his own initiative!
"Evil beast, kneel down!"
Old Master Murong was furious and ordered his servants to call Murong Jin. After seeing Murong Jin enter the room, he shouted at Murong Jin.
Murong Jin was a little confused by Mr. Murong's roar. He looked at Mr. An with a blank face and knelt down obediently.
"Grandpa, I don't know what I did wrong?" After kneeling down, Murong Jin spoke to Grandpa Murong in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
Old Master Murong looked at his grandson's straight back and the confused expression on his face, and suddenly became furious. He threw the letter on the table directly at Murong Jin's face.
Murong Jin opened the letter and read it quickly. Only then did he understand why his grandfather was so angry.
"Grandpa, An Yu is An Yu, and An Ran is An Ran. I can't marry An Ran just because An Yu is a genius. An Ran is a waste!" Murong Jin tightly grasped the envelope, looked at Grandpa Murong, and argued.
"What do you know, you beast?! An Yu is someone who may break through to the level of a Venerable in the future! You ruined our good engagement with the An family!" Old Master Murong glared at Murong Jin.
"Grandpa, breaking through to the Venerable level is only a possibility. An Yu is a water magician, and water magic is a useless talent!" Murong Jin, who was kneeling below, still spoke righteously.
Seeing Murong Jin's unrepentant look, Mr. Murong was so angry that he picked up something from the table and threw it at Murong Jin.
"An Ran is just a wood magician, and her talent is not high. How can she compare with Baili Yin, the eldest daughter of the Baili family!" Murong Jin easily dodged the unknown object that was thrown at him, and looked at Old Man Murong and persuaded him.
"Baili Yin! You only know Baili Yin! I don't care what you think, your wife must be the eldest daughter of the An family!" Old Master Murong looked at his grandson's infatuated look and shouted at Murong Jin.
With a "bang", Murong Jin stood up and looked at Old Man Murong, saying word by word: "I will only marry Baili Yin in this life, you can marry whoever else you like!"
The old man of the Murong family looked at Murong Jin's stubborn and arrogant appearance and shouted directly to the outside of the door: "Come here, take the young master away and watch him!"
After Murong Jin was taken away, Mr. Murong recalled the stubborn, unyielding look in his eyes as he was led away, and couldn't help but rub his forehead. "Why is this grandson so stubborn? How can the Baili family compare to the An family?" He thought about the broken engagement again, and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed he would have to go to the An family himself.
"Someone, call Uncle Sun over." Old Master Murong said a little tiredly.
After a while, Uncle Sun came over. Seeing the mess in the house, he asked Old Man Murong with some confusion: "Old Master, what can I do for you?"
Old Master Murong was slumped in his chair. Seeing Uncle Sun coming, he perked up again. He looked at Uncle Sun and ordered, "Go to the warehouse and find some good things. Tomorrow morning, we will set off to settle down in Xinghu City." He waved his hand at Uncle Sun and said, "You go ahead and do your work. By the way, keep an eye on Jin'er and don't let him run away."
Meanwhile, in the An Mansion, An Changcheng was having a headache looking at the gifts sent by these families. These things were so strange and bizarre that it was really hard for Ranran...
"Which families have sent gifts?" An Changcheng felt a headache when he saw the huge list of gifts, and asked Uncle Zhong without thinking.
