An Lan of Rebirth

After entering the other courtyard, An Lan followed the servants to the inner hall.At this time, the brewed fragrant tea has already been placed on the table, and the fragrance of the tea is refreshing.An old man sat at the table and looked at him with a smile, his brows were kind and amiable.

"Come on, let's sit down and have a sip of tea." The old man said kindly.

An Lan bowed to the old man, then sat across from the old man, picked up a teacup and drank a little.However, as soon as the tea was in his mouth, An Lan couldn't help frowning. This cup of tea with a strong aroma was actually very bitter.

"How does it taste?" The old man saw his reaction and asked with a smile.

"Okay...good tea." An Lan lowered his eyelids and said softly. He didn't know if this was a temptation by the old man, but he knew very well that his behavior must not be too brilliant.

"I can see that you are a sensible child, but I don't like dishonest people. You better not lie in front of me next time, understand?" the old man said lightly, his expression seemed a little sullen.

"I'm sorry, Second Master, I understand." An Lan looked a little at a loss, and quickly stood up and bowed again.At the same time, he was convinced that the old man was beating him in advance, which meant that in the eyes of the old man, he was an extremely important pawn.

"Okay." The old man waved his hands disapprovingly, and continued to say in a kind tone, "Since you have recognized your ancestors, you can call me Second Uncle just like Yuan Hao."

"Second Uncle." An Lan called out hastily.But he didn't think so in his heart, despite his sanctimonious appearance, the old man must not be a good guy in fact, and he didn't want to be a relative of this kind.

"Okay, okay, let's drink tea." The old man was very satisfied with An Lan's obedience, the smile returned to his face again, and he greeted An Lan with a new pot of tea.

The old man carefully asked An Lan how he felt during the time in An's house, and at the same time told him many details that he should pay attention to in his daily life.Seeing the concern on the old man's face, An Lan sneered in his heart. The old man's camouflage skills are definitely top-notch. If the original owner would be grateful to this elder who cared about him.It's a pity that he didn't expect that things were already different at this time. The more real his behavior was, the more disgusting it would be in the eyes of An Lan who had a clear mind.However, An Lan doesn't mind cooperating with him to play a scene similar to fatherly kindness and filial piety. He believes that the old guy is more eager to clarify the purpose of his trip to him than his calmness, otherwise he will sacrifice so much cannon fodder to catch An Yuanhao's fight If all the precious time gained is spent drinking tea and talking heart-to-heart, this deal is really not worth it.Therefore, An Lan accepted all the old man's kind care, and his attitude became more and more respectful, which greatly pleased the old man's mood. The two got along very harmoniously.

"Xiao Lan, how did you know Yuan Hao?" After three rounds of tea, the old man put down his teacup and asked seemingly casually.

"Actually, I'm not very clear about the specific situation, because it was my elder brother who found me first." An Lan replied.With a sneer in his heart, the old fox finally couldn't hold back and began to inquire about the relationship between him and An Yuanhao.However, the contact process between him and An Yuanhao is not considered confidential, but it doesn't matter.

"How did he find you?" the old man continued to ask.Of course he knew that An Lan was brought back by An Yuanhao on his own initiative, otherwise it would be unbelievable that he would be recognized only by the gold watch that old man An casually threw away, not to mention that An Lan had no way to pass the watch to An Yuanhao.In this way, An Yuanhao's purpose of bringing An Lan back is intriguing, but he is more concerned about An Yuanhao than these old people. How could An Yuanhao know An Lan's identity?He had to ask about his long-planned plans.

"I think it's because he picked up my student ID card?" Seeing the old man waiting impatiently, An Lan said slowly.

"Really?" There is such a coincidence in the world, and An Yuanhao will track down a stranger with the same surname for no reason?The old man couldn't believe it.

"Yes, because he sent someone to return it to me later, but at that time the student ID card was useless to me." An Lan said slightly sadly, if An Yuanhao hadn't attracted An Yuanhao's attention, his life would definitely be worse than now free.

With his eyes half closed, the old man tapped the edge of the table rhythmically with his fingers, as if he was considering the credibility of An Lan's words.After a while, he opened his eyes and asked again, "Why did you drop out of school?"

Old fox, knowingly asked, An Lan cursed in his heart, but still said with a sad expression: "Actually, I didn't drop out of school because of physical reasons. I was found by the instructor to have contacts with people of unknown origin, so..."

"What? There is such a thing?" The old man's expression suddenly became serious, as if he didn't know it.

"Later, Brother Mao took me in, but because many people in the gang suspected that I was an undercover agent, everyone bullied me. In fact, I really have nothing to do with the undercover agent." As if thinking of the grievances she had suffered, An Lan's eyes turned red .

"I'm sorry, Xiao Lan, I didn't expect my actions to cause you to suffer innocent injustice. I hope you can forgive my second uncle. In fact, I have a reason for doing this." The old man said, indirectly confirming An Lan's previous conjecture.

"Second Uncle, I don't understand..." An Lan murmured, trying to extract more information from the old man.

"Hey, do you know why I didn't bring you back in the first place?" the old man sighed.

An Lan remained silent, waiting for the old man's answer.

"Because you are too weak." The old man said, seeing that An Lan was puzzled, he explained patiently, "For outsiders, being born in a wealthy family means that you can enjoy endless glory and wealth in your life, but you have never seen the glamorous appearance of a wealthy family. Under the hidden bloody wind, for the sake of profit, intrigue and even fratricide have long been common. This is especially true for An Jia in a wealthy family. Don't you think that your father only has two children, you and Yuan Hao? .”

"You mean..." An Lan asked nervously.

"That's right, those other people were all disposed of by Yuan Hao, and he climbed up to his position today by stepping on their corpses." The old man said grimly.

"He... Why did he do this? Aren't they relatives whose blood is thicker than water? Even if they can't help each other, they won't kill each other." An Lan's face changed drastically, as if he was frightened by the old man's words.

"I've already said that it's for the sake of profit. You should know that your father owns 45% of An's shares. Who would not be tempted by such a large amount of wealth? Rather than sharing it with everyone, it's better for one person to own it." The old man said these words Sometimes his eyes could not help showing a greedy light.

"Then... what does that have to do with me?" An Lan's voice trembled.

"You are your father's child. Even if you are an illegitimate child, as long as you are recognized as his blood, you are entitled to inherit his inheritance. Do you think An Yuanhao will let you go?" The old man said coldly, "Son, do you think 5 Is it a lot of %? But it was originally yours, and you should get 20% of the shares according to the inheritance distribution."

"But... But I never thought about competing with him for shares, and if he doesn't want to accept me, I won't get anything." An Lan argued in a low voice.

"You are so naive." The old man seemed not satisfied with An Lan's reaction at this time, and his tone became very indifferent, "Don't forget that I discovered you first, and your blood can't be faked. Even if An Yuanhao doesn't If you are willing to admit it, you have to give in, so he will take the first step to try to gain your favor, and then deal with you after you let down your guard against him. Maybe you didn't think about fighting with him, but it doesn't mean he will let you go."

"No, brother won't be so ruthless." An Lan shook her head desperately, with an expression of disbelief.

"Son, it's all my fault. I wanted you to do something outside before I let you come back. Even if you can't beat him, at least you can protect yourself. But I didn't expect that An Yuanhao would find out about your existence in advance , and I didn’t expect that the help I gave you out of good intentions would actually hurt you.” The old man said with a heartbroken expression.

"Second Uncle, don't blame yourself, I'm too disappointing." An Lan said quickly.

"Oh, child, you may not know how dangerous your situation is now, An Yuanhao is definitely a ruthless guy, I'm even worried that not only you, but even your relatives in the orphanage will not let him go. "The old man fiercely unleashed a trump card.

"If he dares to touch my relatives, I will fight him." An Lan said fiercely, with a firm look in his eyes.

"Can you beat him?" The old man looked worried.

"Second Uncle, will you help me?" An Lan stood up all of a sudden, rushed to grab the old man's arm, and didn't even care about knocking down the teacup and getting his clothes wet.Seeing that the old man was still silent, An Lan begged, "Second Uncle, I will obey you in everything, please help me."

"What are you doing, sit down, sit down." A hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, and he quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, if I don't want to help you, I won't let you come here."

After hearing the old man's assurance, An Lan was a little relieved, and after sitting down, she asked the old man, "Second Uncle, what should I do now?"

"You go back first, don't act rashly for the time being so as not to arouse suspicion, I will notify you after I arrange everything." The old man said, seeing that An Lan was still a little uneasy, he comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm still here, Anyuan will be in a short time Hao won't touch you, as long as you listen to me, everything will be fine."

"I listen to my second uncle." An Lan gritted her teeth and said.

The old man smiled gratifiedly, thinking that staying too late would attract suspicion, so he ordered his servants to take An Lan back.As soon as he stood up, he coughed violently. He took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth, coughing until he was out of breath.

"Second Uncle, are you okay?" An Lan asked.

"It's nothing, people will always get a little sick when they get old, don't worry, go back quickly." The old man said with a smile. "Then take care of your health." An Lan said with concern, and then left the room with the servant.He didn't notice that the old man's expression changed after he left, and he crumpled the handkerchief in his hand.

An Jijun, the younger brother of the late former head of the family, Mr. An, and the second uncle of An Yuanhao, is a highly respected elder in the family, known as "Second Master".After walking out of the other courtyard, An Lan searched the old man's information from his memory. He knew that the reason why this man was called the second master was not because he was ranked second in the An family's previous generation, but because he was the only one in that generation who was the old man. The only person left outside, like a son, like a father, how can a person who can give birth to such a ruthless son as An Yuanhao be a kind character? This shows that people who can survive in such a cruel competitive environment People must have their own merits, this Second Master An should not be underestimated.

This old man, An Lan cursed fiercely, if he hadn't confessed to An Yuanhao in advance, and knew his details, he might have been brainwashed by him.It seems necessary to remind An Yuanhao of how dangerous this character is.As for whether the second uncle was deceived by his acting skills, I believe we will find out soon.Of course, he doesn't feel that he can gain the trust of the other party just by communicating with each other, but the future is long and he can afford to wait.

Before returning to the villa, An Lan found that the lights in the hall had been turned off at some point. It seemed that the banquet was over, but his play had just begun...
