On the way back, Nie Canghao seemed to have just discovered something was wrong with An Ran.
"Your lips are swollen?" He looked at her with a little surprise, stretched out his big beautiful hands, and gently rubbed her lips with his slender jade-bone fingers. "Bite your lips well!"
An Ran turned her head slightly uncomfortably, not wanting him to touch her. "It's okay..."
Nie Canghao's eyes turned to the red gold silk bracelet on her wrist, and he narrowed his eyes: "You still like this style of jewelry!"
"If you don't accept Aunt Mei's kindness...it will hurt her heart." An Ran covered the bracelet uncomfortably.
Nie Canghao nodded, with no obvious emotion on his indifferent and delicate face, and just said lightly: "You are quite filial."
safely:"……"
I don’t know if it’s her imagination, but why does she feel that there’s something in this guy’s words, and there’s also a hint of sarcasm in it?
Aunt Mei hasn't offended him, right? This guy's temper is getting more and more mean and unpleasant.
After being quiet for a while, An Ran realized something was wrong again: "Where are you going?"
Nie Canghao glanced at her and said, "Go back to Longhu Manor."
An Ran suddenly became excited: "Didn't you promise me to stay at the Mid-level Villa for a few days?"
"So anxious!"
"Of course I'm anxious! ...I'm not anxious, I, I just want to go back to the mountainside villa. I think it's quiet there." An Ran gave a very far-fetched reason.
Nie Canghao didn't argue with her, and he told Ah Hao who was driving in front of him cheerfully: "Turn around and go to the Mid-Levels Villa."
It was already noon when the two returned to the Mid-Levels Villa. Liu Meijun hid and did not show up. Wen Hong came out and asked them if they had had lunch.
"No." Nie Canghao replied.
Wen Hong ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch for the three of them.
Seeing that Liu Meijun never showed up, Nie Canghao asked Wenhong: "Where is my mother?"
"Madam...it's already lunch break." Wen Hong's eyes flashed a little when he answered.
Nie Canghao nodded slightly and seemed to accept this far-fetched reason, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Wen Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and soon lunch was served in the kitchen.
An Ran asked Ah Hao to sit down and eat together, but Ah Hao refused.
"There is no one else, let's eat together." Nie Canghao said.
Ah Hao sat next to Nie Canghao, very close to him. Occasionally, he raised his eyes to look at him, and there seemed to be some incomprehensible emotions in his eyes.
Nie Canghao eats and looks elegantly, and his every move shows the good upbringing of a noble family, and his noble temperament is engraved in his bones.
For some reason, Ah Hao, who had always had a paralyzed face, actually showed a smile, as if he had recalled something interesting.
"Why are you smiling?" An Ran was the first to notice Ah Hao's smile and was shocked. "Ah Hao, you look quite handsome when you smile!"
Her exclamation effectively scared away Ahao's smile, which was even more rare than a flash in the pan, and he returned to his iceberg face that had lasted for ten thousand years.
Nie Canghao cast a dissatisfied glance at the woman beside him: "More handsome than me?"
An Ran was speechless. How could this man be jealous of Ah Hao? "You are handsome, you are the most handsome in the world."
She didn't want to argue with him about these useless topics, she had more important things to do.
This was the first time that the three of them sat down to eat together, and the atmosphere was actually very harmonious. Especially Nie Canghao and Ah Hao, who seemed to have a tacit understanding.
An Ran saw the two of them so close, and for some reason he had an illusion - had they often sat and ate together like this before?
The three of them were eating when they suddenly heard Liu Meijun's sharp voice: "When did our family's rules break? The bodyguard can sit at the same table with the master for dinner!"
Ah Hao put down his chopsticks, picked up the napkin next to him and wiped the corners of his mouth, then silently stood up and stood next to him.
Liu Meijun walked in on high heels with an angry look on her face. She didn't even look at Ah Hao next to her, and scolded her son sharply: "Even if you haven't grown up at home these years, you have recognized your ancestors for several years! You always change.
Don’t let go of the bad habits you developed outside. Just bring back some ignorant people, and invite them to the table to eat. There are no rules and regulations, and you act like the head of the family. Isn’t it inappropriate?”
An Ran had put down his chopsticks, and Nie Canghao also stopped eating, but neither of them got up.
"Pa!" Liu Meijun slammed the table, and the jade bracelet on her wrist jingled. She raised her other hand, poked An Ran with her slender jade finger coated with khaodan, and reprimanded: "And you, if you succeed, you will fail.
More than enough! I kindly promoted you to my house to help me find some clothes. You, a bitch who can’t get on the high platform, have caused so many troubles. You are a troublemaker, a disaster star, a plague star, a broom star..."
An Ran's face looked very ugly. She wanted to refute, but thinking that she had to inquire about Nie Qingyu's information from Liu Meijun, she suppressed the anger in her heart and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
She was willing to bite the bullet and be scolded, but the man next to her refused.
"Were the things she revealed made up out of thin air?" Nie Canghao began to fight back.
Liu Meijun's eyes finally returned to her son's face. Looking at the handsome face in front of her that overlapped with her memory, her heart felt sour and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but burst into tears. "If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have exposed your identity in advance.
I won’t have a falling out with your grandfather, and I won’t end up in such an embarrassing situation today!”
The inheritance rights of the Nie family originally belonged to her two sons, and the second wife had no right to covet her. But such a quarrel seemed unfair and unfair, and how could she swallow this sigh of relief.
"Sooner or later, I have to shake it out!" Nie Canghao put down his chopsticks, picked up a napkin and slowly wiped the corners of his lips. "Two years earlier and two years later makes no difference."
"You were so confused by this little goblin that you protected her no matter what trouble she got into! If it hadn't been for her this time, you would have had such a quarrel with your grandfather and even sent him to the intensive care unit...
..." Liu Meijun does not feel sorry for her father-in-law, but is annoyed by her son's current embarrassing identity and status.
If Mr. Nie had not fallen, how could Nie Cheng have the opportunity to make trouble. What was supposed to be a legitimate and unsuspicious matter, had put himself in such a passive situation.
"He suddenly sent someone to the door to ask my wife to have euthanasia. I just stopped him. What should he be angry about?" Nie Canghao sneered, obviously showing no sympathy or guilt for his grandfather in the intensive care unit.
.
He smiled sarcastically and coldly, and continued: "Isn't the old man afraid that An Ran will expose the matter? I simply add fuel to the fire. Now no one has to hide it anymore! The world is at peace!"
An Ran's heart skipped a beat, and she cast a complicated glance at the man beside her. Was what he just said meant for Liu Meijun to listen to, or was it specifically for himself?
He actually said the words "my wife" in such a natural tone, as if he had completely forgotten that the man she originally married was Nie Qingyu, and that they had signed a divorce.
This man... She bit her lip again, unable to explain how she felt.
"Peace in the world?!" Liu Meijun screamed, wanting to overturn the table. "Now the world is in chaos, how can there be peace! Our Nie family has become a big joke, and I am also a big joke now! Do you know that now I am all
I’m too embarrassed to go out and meet people, you know what the ladies in the circle are talking about me..."
Nie Canghao stood up slowly and elegantly, but there was a sharp cold aura around him. He curved his lips, but smiled coldly: "Am I a shame to you? Or you can publish it in the newspaper and sever the relationship between mother and son with me.
!”
Liu Meijun was severely shocked. She seemed to calm down a little, but then seemed to become more crazy. She turned around, lowered her head and covered her face with her hands and cried loudly.
An Ran was dumbfounded.
Her original idea was quite simple, she just wanted to come back to inquire about Nie Qingyu. She never expected that there would be a mother-son war right after she came back, and even Ah Hao would be scolded.
Had Nie Canghao anticipated Liu Meijun's reaction? He still promised to take An Ran back to the Mid-level Villa and was willing to accompany her back to be scolded?
An Ran couldn't explain how she felt when she thought of this, but she didn't want to think too much.
Now she just wants to find out Nie Qingyu's whereabouts as soon as possible. The rest of the people and other things are not worth her time.
