After a short rest, Mr. Murong ordered, "Set off early and speed up! We must reach Xinghu City before dark tonight!"
At this time, there was a scene of singing and dancing in the An Mansion. An Changcheng could finally take a break after being busy for the past few days. That night, he held a banquet at home and invited other local families to come and pay their respects and get to know each other!
After three rounds of drinks, everyone realized that An Changcheng was not a harsh person, and the atmosphere became lively.
"The An family is indeed a large family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is really not comparable to those small families!"
"Master An is a hero among men! He will definitely lead us to new heights in the future!"
"Mrs. Anjiazhuang is gentle and virtuous, her daughter is as beautiful as a flower, and her son is even more handsome and talented. They are all amazing! How enviable!"
…
Those family heads were quite sensible. They knew that Xinghu City was the only dominant city now, so they deliberately said things that An Changcheng liked. What's more, some of them even wanted to target An Ran and An Yu!
"Master An, I wonder if Young Master An and Miss An are married?" a man asked while drunk.
An Changcheng frowned as soon as these words came out. These people wanted to take advantage of his son and daughter? That was impossible! An Yu was fine, but An Ran didn't want to get married!
An Changcheng lowered his head and took a sip of wine. He looked at the man who asked the question and said calmly, "Master Li is drunk. Someone, help him down to rest!"
When the others saw what An Changcheng meant, they knew that An Changcheng didn't like this topic, so they gave up the idea.
I don’t know what someone said, but the atmosphere of the whole banquet became lively again, with everyone talking and laughing, and both the guests and hosts were having a great time!
After dark that night, Mr. Murong and his men finally arrived at the villa of Murong Mansion in Xinghu City!
The next morning, the An family's doorman received a visiting card from the Murong family.
Butler Zhong Bo looked at the visiting card and frowned. He actually didn't want to send this visiting card to An Changcheng. He wanted to refuse it directly!
After all, the Murong family's attitude towards the An family last time had completely worn out the friendship between the two families! But... if An Changcheng didn't see the old man from the Murong family when he came, it would be unreasonable...
Uncle Zhong thought about it for a long time. He really didn't know what to do. He sighed helplessly: "Forget it, let the master deal with it!"
After saying that, Uncle Zhong handed the visiting card to An Changcheng.
In the An Mansion's study, An Changcheng was looking at the account book when the housekeeper, Zhong Bo, knocked on the door and walked in. He said respectfully to An Changcheng, "Master, a visiting card from the Murong family."
When An Changcheng heard the words "Murong family", he felt a surge of anger in his heart. He still remembered Murong Jin's arrogant attitude a year ago. In all these years, he had never been taught a lesson by a junior like this!
An Changcheng didn't even raise his head. Without thinking, he said, "No! The Murong family is too high for my An family to afford!"
Uncle Zhong knew this was the situation. He looked at An Changcheng with some heartache and said cautiously, "Master, this invitation is from the old man of the Murong family... He specifically wants to see the eldest lady..."
An Changcheng looked up in surprise and looked at Uncle Zhong: "Is it a visiting card from Mr. Murong? What is he doing here? And he specifically asked to see Ranran?"
Uncle Zhong nodded and said disdainfully, "Yes, I don't understand what Mr. Murong is up to. I guess he heard that the young master is gifted and came here to make friends with him!"
An Changcheng sneered a few times, leaned back in his chair, and said to Uncle Zhong with a slight disdain on his face: "Does he think my An family is so easy to manipulate? How can my An family be what he wants it to be?!
Well, since they are here, let's meet them. We have to make them give up. Uncle Zhong, reply and ask them to come tomorrow!"
At this time, An Ran was still practicing silently with An Yu, and she didn't know that the dignity of the An family would be trampled upon again tomorrow!
After receiving the reply from the An family, Mr. Murong finally felt relieved. He thought that after Murong Jin’s last incident, the An family had completely disliked them. Fortunately, An Changcheng was still willing to see him, an old man!
Grandpa Murong was pleased and called the guards to bring Murong Jin over. This grandson was too stubborn and he had to teach him a lesson, otherwise, he would definitely mess up tomorrow!
Unfortunately, Mr. Murong didn't know that Murong Jin now hated An Ran to the extreme! No matter how he beat him, Murong Jin was bound to get into trouble!
Early the next morning, around nine o'clock, Mr. Murong brought Murong Jin to visit.
An Changcheng was in the study. When he heard the servant come to report that Mr. Murong had come to visit, he just said lightly, "I know," and sent the guard away.
From the moment the guard reported to him until he sent him away, he had been working on his account books at a leisurely pace, just as he had been before the servant arrived. Even his speed in reading the account books hadn't changed! In fact, when he heard what the servant said, he didn't even raise his head, continuing to work on his account books at a leisurely pace.
After Uncle Zhong learned of An Changcheng's reaction, he understood An Changcheng's attitude towards the Murong family. Years of tacit understanding made Uncle Zhong clearly know what to do next...
Uncle Zhong looked at Mr. Murong, and his originally earnest greeting seemed careless, but his face still looked very earnest, just a little deliberate... He casually led Mr. Murong and his group to the living room of the main house and left.
As soon as Uncle Zhong walked out of the house, the eager enthusiasm on his face immediately disappeared. He snorted coldly and called two guards.
There's nothing special about these two guards. They're just two homeless people that An Changcheng took in because he was soft-hearted. So... they are extremely loyal to An Changcheng, have a strong sense of belonging to the An family, and are extremely jealous of those who have bullied the An family!
When Amber saw them coming, he sternly ordered them, "Take good care of those people inside. Don't let them run around!"
The two guards knew this was someone from the Murong family, extremely noble, especially Old Master Murong, who was said to have a close relationship with the master! But… Young Master Murong was not so good, he actually looked down on their young lady and insulted their master!
Now that Uncle Zhong has asked them to serve these people... doesn't that mean... they have a chance to avenge their master and mistress?
The two guards thought of this, their eyes sparkling, and they looked at Uncle Zhong and said excitedly: "Uncle Zhong, can we take good care of them?!"
That "good" they said was so euphemistic and lingering...
Uncle Zhong looked at the excited eyes of the two men and knew that they were about to do something bad. He covered his mouth, coughed, and nodded.
