Chapter 117 Arriving at Yunling
An Ran and Xiao Ze noticed something unusual as soon as they stepped into Yunling City. The streets and alleys of this small city were filled with a lively and festive atmosphere.
"Brother Xiao, is there any special festival in Yunling today? Why..."
As An Ran spoke, she cast her eyes towards the young women on the streets who were dressed up in brightly coloured clothes, with a look of confusion on her face.
"I haven't heard of it either." Xiao Ze was also completely confused, and his tone was full of uncertainty.
"Ran'er, why don't we go and ask around." Xiao Ze suggested.
"good."
An Ran nodded, picked up an item from the small stall next to her and asked the stall owner.
"Grandma, how much does this comb cost?"
"A dime." The old woman at the stall answered casually, looked up at An Ran, and instantly smiled.
"Oh, what a pretty girl! Are you also here to participate in the An family's young master's wife selection?"
When An Ran heard this, she looked confused and asked curiously, "Grandma, what is the young master choosing a wife?"
"You don't know. Oh, our young master who has been missing in Yunling for many years has been found. The An family wants to choose a wife for the young master. Any woman of the right age can participate. Little girl, you are so pretty, do you want to give it a try? You will definitely be chosen if you go."
The old lady at the stall had a smile on her face and was muttering to herself.
"Our young master is also very handsome and extraordinary. It would be a blessing for you if the little girl is chosen!"
The moment An Ran heard the news, her face turned pale as paper, and her head was buzzing, making it almost impossible for her to think. Her cold hands were tightly grasping Xiao Ze's sleeves, and she was muttering to herself, her voice full of despair and helplessness.
"Brother Xiao, does dad... not want us anymore?"
Xiao Ze was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly supported her shaky body and comforted her softly.
"Ran'er, don't worry. Now that we are here, let's go to the An Mansion to find out the situation first."
After hearing Xiao Ze's words, An Ran finally came back to her senses. She tried to calm herself down, and then hurriedly walked towards the An Mansion with Xiao Ze.
The two of them walked quickly all the way and soon arrived at the gate of the An Mansion. Xiao Ze walked forward and spoke to the disciple from the An Mansion who was guarding the door.
"Please inform him that Xiao Ze from Shushan wants to see you."
The Yunling disciple guarding the door saluted to Xiao Ze and then hurried into the mansion. In a short while, An Feiwan appeared at the door along with the gatekeeper disciple.
When An Ran suddenly saw An Feiwan, her eyes reddened and she felt extremely aggrieved.
"Dad..." An Ran just opened her mouth and her voice became choked.
When An Feiwan saw An Ran looking like she was about to cry, her heart suddenly ached. He couldn't help but wonder: Could this little girl really be the daughter he gave birth to in the mortal world?
Otherwise, why would I feel an indescribable sense of intimacy with her? Seeing her sad face, I couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Little girl, do you know me?" An Feiwan asked cautiously.
"Will you believe me if I tell you I know you?"
An Ran looked at him and said, with a hint of despair and sadness in her eyes. He is about to find a new love, will he still acknowledge my mother as his wife? Will you still want your two children, me and Ning'er?
An Ran couldn't help but ask herself: Would he dislike that I was not his biological daughter? Would he dislike that my mother was married for the second time?
Today, he is the young master of the An family, with a distinguished status and boundless glory. Are you still willing to mention those humble and embarrassing days in the past?
An Ran herself began to waver. After all, human hearts are fickle and cannot withstand the test.
"I believe it."
An Feiwan nodded hurriedly, staring at An Ran anxiously, muttering.
"I have forgotten the past, but there is always a voice in my heart telling me that I have forgotten the most important thing. If I can't get my past memories back, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
After An Ran heard what he said, she felt a little relieved, but she still spoke like a sulky child.
"Then why do you want to marry again?"
"hehe."
An Feiwan had an indescribable expression on his face. He smiled bitterly and tried his best to explain.
"This is really not my intention! This was all planned and arranged by my father himself, and I have already clearly expressed my refusal."
"Uh... well, how about we go inside first? It's not appropriate to block the door all the time."
It was not until this time that Xiao Ze finally found an opportunity to interject.
"Yes, yes, yes, it is true that I did not think it through. Come on, please follow me."
After this reminder, An Feiwan finally came to his senses and hurriedly took the two of them into the mansion.
An Ran and Xiao Ze followed An Feiwan to the hall. After entering the hall, they first bowed respectfully to the head of the An family and Mrs. An who were sitting in the main seats, and then each found a seat and sat down.
Mrs. An's gaze immediately fell on An Ran, and her eyes brightened instantly. She stared at An Ran with surprise on her face and said with a smile.
"Oh my, what a pretty girl! Do you know our Wan'er?"
An Ran smiled and answered in a very appropriate tone.
"Yes, he is my father."
"Oh my, he's your father. Then you are my granddaughter, right? Oh my god, I actually have such a pretty granddaughter. Come, come to grandma!"
Mrs. An couldn't help but smile. She fell in love with the little girl at first sight. It would be great if she was her granddaughter.
"cough."
The old master of the An family coughed dryly. This little girl wanted to be the eldest daughter of their An family with just one sentence, but he would not acknowledge her.
"What's wrong? Is your throat uncomfortable?"
The smile on Mrs. An's face disappeared immediately, and she stared coldly at the old master An, like a hen protecting her chicks.
"No, I haven't."
The old master of the An family shrank his neck, thinking that the husband's authority was not strong enough. This damn old woman didn't give him any face at all, and the key point was that her cultivation was higher than his. Now he can’t win a fight or an argument.
The old master of the An family sat on the armchair with a depressed look on his face, like a sculpture, and said nothing.
When Mrs. An saw that the head of the An family stopped talking, she turned around and looked at An Ran with a smile. The more she looked, the happier she felt.
"Ran'er, you said Wan'er is your father. Can you tell grandma about your past?"
An Ran didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She looked at Mrs. An gratefully, nodded, and then told her about the things going on at home.
The hall was quiet, with only An Ran's clear voice echoing. When An Feiwan heard Lin Qingwan's name, he felt a dull pain in his heart. He put his hand over his chest, but pricked up his ears to listen to An Ran's story, afraid of missing a word.
By the time Anran finished speaking, a stick of incense had passed. Mrs. An's eyes sparkled. She didn't expect that she actually had a big grandson. The key point is that her eldest grandson has a very high talent for cultivation.
She glanced at the head of the An family with dissatisfaction. This damn old man almost caused her eldest grandson to die.
