Chapter 96: First Meeting with Lin Zhaode
Yun Piaomiao has elegant and graceful manners, and her soft voice makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze.
An Ran frowned and looked at her. She always felt that there was something off-kilter about the Saint Lady of Yao Chi in front of her.
Xiao Ze's expression eased a lot. He nodded to Yun Piaomiao and spoke.
"It's okay, Miss Yun is worrying too much."
Yun Piaomiao smiled sweetly, and looked at Xiao Ze closely with her beautiful eyes.
"Senior Brother Xiao is a guest who has come from afar. It is our Yun family who has neglected him."
Then her gaze shifted to An Ran, asking casually.
"This girl looks unfamiliar. I wonder which family she is from?"
An Ran couldn't stand their flowery talk, and the word "Miss" was too harsh, making her think of something wrong, so she spoke very straightforwardly.
"My name is An Ran. I'm not a lady from any family. I'm just an ordinary person."
Yun Piaomiao smiled softly with her hands covering her lips.
"Could it be the young lady of the Yunling An family? I have never seen her before. I am sorry for being so rude. Please forgive me."
An Ran was shocked by her pedantic way of speaking. She finally understood why Shui Linglong said that she was good at pretending.
"Haha, nice to meet you!"
An Ran laughed dryly and replied randomly, then looked at Xiao Ze and spoke.
"Brother Xiao, let's go shopping again."
Xiao Ze nodded in agreement and then said goodbye to Yun Piaomiao.
"Miss Yun, we're leaving first, please do as you please!"
Yun Piaomiao watched Xiao Ze and the other man leave with an impeccable and perfect smile on her face, with an ambiguous look in her eyes.
"Huh... It's so tiring to deal with you ancients."
An Ran let out a deep breath as she walked away. Looking at Yun Piaomiao's noble lady-like posture and her elegant manner of speaking, she seemed to be wearing a mask and a layer of shackles, making people feel particularly depressed.
"the ancients."
Xiao Ze looked at An Ran with some confusion.
"Yes.
Anran playfully imitated Yun Piaomiao's manner.
"Brother Xiao, I am honored to be here."
Xiao Ze suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help laughing when he saw her acting weird.
"Naughty!"
So he patiently explained to Anran again.
"The wife of the head of the Yun family is Shui Furong, the eldest daughter of the Penglai Shui family. She is originally hot-tempered and stubborn, and is infatuated with Yun Reyue, the head of the Yun family. However, Yun Reyue likes gentle and elegant women, and has always refused to marry her. In the end, many things happened, and he was forced to marry her. Therefore, since the birth of her daughter Yun Piaomiao, Shui Furong wanted to train her into a gentle and graceful lady."
Only then did An Ran understand why she felt something was wrong with Yun Piaomiao.
That is to wrap your own nature in gentle packaging. An Ran believed that Yun Piaomiao was definitely not as well-educated, gentle and generous as she appeared to be.
"Well, let's not talk about her. It's getting late, let's go back!"
An Ran didn't think too much about it. They were not from the same world and would never have any intersection in the future.
Xiao Ze nodded in agreement. He was a quiet person. I accompanied Anran out for a walk because I was afraid that she would be bored.
The two were not in a hurry, so they walked slowly towards their residence. When passing a corner of the street, An Ran suddenly saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
Her heart trembled and she turned her head suddenly to look over.
"dad."
The corner of the man's clothes disappeared around the corner. An Ran's mind went blank and she ran over madly. There were several forked roads at the corner, but the familiar figure had disappeared.
"An Ran, what's wrong?"
Xiao Ze, who came later, saw An Ran's distraught look and couldn't help but ask anxiously.
An Ran suddenly came to her senses. She grabbed Xiao Ze's clothes tightly and shouted excitedly.
"Dad, I saw my dad."
An Ran suddenly burst into tears, her legs went weak, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad.
Xiao Ze reached out and held her, comforting her softly.
"An Ran, calm down and don't worry. That person may not be your father."
"Yes, he is my father. I am not mistaken. Brother Xiao, please help me find him."
An Ran's eyes were blurred with tears, and she looked at Xiao Ze with pleading.
Xiao Ze's heart moved slightly and he couldn't help but soften his heart. Seeing that she was so emotional, I could only calm her down in a gentle voice.
"Okay, we'll go look for him after we finish the tea party. He must be here for the tea party as well. Yaochi is not that big, so we'll definitely be able to find him."
"Really?"
An Ran is now as fragile as a breakable porcelain doll, and Xiao Ze feels a deep sense of heartache.
Seeing Xiao Ze nod, An Ran's excitement slowly subsided.
She wiped away her tears embarrassedly and returned to her residence with Xiao Ze.
The afterglow of the setting sun scattered on the streets and alleys of Yaochi City. An Ran dressed up and walked out of the room. Xiao Ze, who was standing at the door, was stunned when he saw her.
An Ran, who was carefully dressed up, was as bright and shining as the moon in the sky. She has a beautiful face, a pair of cold peach blossom eyes that are full of spirit, and a pink and blue dress that brings out her extraordinary temperament, just like a new lotus after the rain.
When An Ran saw Xiao Ze, she couldn't help but smile, and in Xiao Ze's eyes it was like a blooming spring flower and a shining starry sky.
"We've been waiting for a long time, let's go."
"Let's go!"
There was a tenderness in Xiao Ze's cold and distant eyes that he himself was not aware of.
......
The hall of the Yao Chi Yun family was built like the Yao Chi Fairy Palace. It was a spacious hall with the floor paved with white marble. Tall white marble pillars stand tall, and the jade-like buildings are extremely luxurious.
At this time, the hall was brightly lit and people were coming and going. People from various families who came to the banquet chatted with their friends, making the banquet particularly lively.
Xiao Ze brought An Ran into the hall. When the people in the hall saw him, they came over to greet Xiao Ze. After all, the strength of the Shushan Xiao family should not be underestimated.
"Young Master Xiao, long time no see! Is your father well?"
"Master Xiao, what are you busy with recently? Come to our Lin family when you have time."
Lin family! An Ran looked curiously at the old man who was smiling flatteringly and chatting with Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze nodded indifferently, and when he saw An Ran looking at the old man from the Lin family, he introduced him to her in a low voice.
"This is the head of the Lin family. Would you like to meet him?"
An Ran quickly shook her head. This reclusive Lin family had exploited her grandfather all his life, so naturally she had no good feelings towards them.
"Denu, bring the things up."
The head of the Lin family turned around and gave an order. At this time, a thin, hunched old man in black came over with a gift box in his hands, looking down.
He took the box from the old man and respectfully held it in both hands before presenting it to Xiao Ze.
"Master Xiao, this is a small gift from our Lin family. Please accept it."
An Ran felt something in her heart and looked at the old man in black. When she saw the old man's face clearly, she was stunned.
De Nu, Lin Zhaode!
An Ran remembered what her grandfather had told her, that he had a younger brother who was forcibly taken away by the reclusive Lin family.
An Ran stared blankly at the old man's face, which was somewhat similar to her grandfather's. Her eyes felt a little hot, and the anger in her heart was gushing out.
De Nu, the secluded Lin family is really going too far.
Lin Zhaode is the second son of the Lin family in Beijing. He should have lived a life of glory and honor. But now...
An Ran looked at the old man in front of her with a wooden expression and no light in his eyes. What kind of torture has he suffered over the years?
