Chapter 142 An Zhisu
Mr. Lin didn't say anything, but in fact he felt sorry for his old friend's loneliness in his old age. Judging from the old guy's behavior this time, he must have noticed the advantages of his family. In the past, when we invited this old guy to stay at our house for a few days, he would always find various excuses to refuse.
Mr. Lin looked at Mr. Jiang with disdain, feeling secretly proud in his heart. Who made his son Ranran so capable? Now this old guy can only envy, hate and be jealous.
After the meal, several young men rushed to clean up the dishes. Mr. Jiang made a phone call and then settled down in the Lin family with peace of mind. He was also secretly proud of himself that Old Lin, that old man, had such a nice place at home, but he didn't even bother to invite him to stay for a few days. Anyway, he didn't care about anything and insisted on staying.
Old Jiang stayed there like this. The two old men lived together, bickering and joking all day long, which was quite lively.
A few days later, the secluded An family sent a message asking whether Lin Qingwan had recovered and asked them to go back to the An family to check on her. This was an acknowledgement of Lin Qingwan's identity.
An Ran was thinking about Xiao Ze, so she discussed with her family and decided to go back to the An family to visit him.
At this time, Xiao Ze was locked up in his room by An Zhisu, whose cultivation base was sealed.
"Mother, what do you want?"
Xiao Ze was angry, but he could only patiently reason with her.
Last time, his family sent a message saying that something happened, so he hurried back. He was delighted to see his mother who had been away from home for a long time. Unexpectedly, his mother took advantage of his carelessness, sealed her own cultivation, and locked him up at home for several days.
Oh... I don't know if Ran'er was able to detoxify her mother successfully.
An Zhisu was wearing a plain long dress, but she was extremely beautiful. She had an elegant temperament, like an orchid, and a beautiful face, but her expression was indifferent. She glanced at Xiao Ze and said.
"You just wait here to marry Piao Miao."
"Mother, I've already told you. An Ran and I love each other and we are in love. I will definitely not marry another girl."
Xiao Ze was helpless with this stubborn and cold-hearted mother and could only try to reason with her.
An Zhisu looked at the flowers and plants outside the window indifferently, and spoke after a while.
"Marriage is about parents' orders and matchmaker's words! What's the point of being in love? When two people get along for a long time, they will have feelings for each other. Isn't that the case with your father and I? We live happily together."
Xiao Ze sat dejectedly in a chair beside the table. His mother was so stubborn that it was impossible to reason with her.
An Zhisu still felt guilty about his son because he was not born with the one he loved. So, ever since he was born, she was unwilling to get close to him. An Zhisu understood that she was not a qualified mother and had never fulfilled her duties as a mother during her son's growth.
Seeing Xiao Ze's dejected look, she felt a little reluctant, so she spoke.
"You don't like Piao Miao, so how about that girl Bao Zhu? She has deep feelings for you. You grew up together, childhood sweethearts, so you must have feelings for each other. Otherwise, how about the girl from the Shui family? She is a good match for you."
"Mother, please don't match me up with other people randomly, okay? I have made it very clear that I, Xiao Ze, will not marry anyone other than An Ran in this life. If that person is not An Ran, I would rather not marry for the rest of my life."
Xiao Ze was a person with a cold personality. Seeing his mother being so stubborn, he also looked stubborn.
When An Zhisu saw that Xiao Ze disobeyed her for An Ran, she felt even more displeased with An Ran because she was already annoyed with her. She slapped the table heavily with a cold face, stood up suddenly and said coldly.
"I am your mother. Is what I say useless? I am going to make it clear today. Anyone can do it, but not her."
"Mother, why? An Ran has a very high talent for cultivation, and she is the granddaughter of the An family. She has to call you aunt, which is a close relationship. Why can't she do that?"
"If I say no, it means no."
Hearing Xiao Ze's words, An Zhisu was stunned for a moment, said something angrily, and then left in anger.
The mother and son parted unhappily, and Xiao Ze was very confused about An Zhisu's attitude. He had a feeling that his mother held some resentment towards the An family. But why? Isn’t she the daughter of the An family? Although she was an adopted daughter, she was a legitimate daughter listed in the family tree.
Xiao Ze frowned and looked out the window with blank eyes.
"Hey, did you have a fight with your mother?"
At this time, Xiao Wuwei staggered in from the door with an unruly smile on his face.
Xiao Ze came back to his senses, turned to look at Xiao Wuwei and asked.
"Father, why is mother so repulsive to the An family? Isn't the An family my maternal family?"
Now that I think about it, some things have traces to follow. Since he was born, he has never been to the An family. His mother always uses the excuse of seclusion to practice, and she has not returned to her parents' home in the past twenty years.
Xiao Wuwei sat down next to Xiao Ze, tapping his fingers on the table, and thought for a long time before speaking.
"Zer, I know a little about this matter."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ze stared at Xiao Wuwei's face. Xiao Wuwei cleared his throat, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip slowly, with a bitter smile on his face.
"Back then, the An family had not had children for many years. Your mother was picked out from the side branch by the An family master and his wife and adopted as their daughter. At that time, there was also a boy adopted with her. They spent every day together and grew up together, so naturally they had a deep relationship. Later, the An family's wife unexpectedly became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy. The adopted son had evil intentions and was afraid that the An family master would have a biological son, which would affect his position in the An family. So he resorted to trickery and lost the An family master's biological son. The An family master found out that he was the one who did it, so he abolished his cultivation and sent him back to his original home. Unexpectedly, the adopted son was arrogant and committed suicide when he returned to his original home. Your mother had a good relationship with the adopted son, so she naturally resented the An family master and his wife for being cruel and ruthless."
After hearing this, Xiao Ze remained silent for a long time. He had heard about the An family's affairs. I didn't expect my mother to be involved in this matter. He only knew that his mother was obsessed with cultivation and was a little inhumane.
But I never expected that my mother would be such a person who doesn't know right from wrong. The An family raised her as their own daughter and found a good husband for her. She was ungrateful and instead resented the Shangan family for such a heartless person.
As a junior, Xiao Ze couldn't judge his mother. But what she did was really wrong.
Xiao Wuwei also remained silent, thinking quietly with his head down. In fact, he had not told Ze'er the truth. His wife was madly in love with her brother. She knew that there was no possibility between them, but she was stubborn and would not listen to anyone's advice. Back then, for that man, I even asked to be expelled from the An family, just so that I could be with him legitimately. With such deep affection, it was natural for her to feel resentment after that person's death.
Xiao Ze put away his thoughts, looked at the silent Xiao Wuwei, and said with expectation in his eyes.
"Father, please let me go."
