Holding the appraisal report, An Xing was in a good mood.
Many things in this life are developing in a good direction. For example, Ning Rong has no barriers with his family for the time being. For example, he successfully found his biological parents.
But there are also some things that cannot be changed even if he is reborn once, such as the death of the Ning family couple.
An Xing had guessed that there was a high probability that he was the child of the Ning family, and of course he hoped that they would survive.
But their death is a natural disaster, and no one can stop it.Therefore, although it was a pity that he could not meet his biological parents, An Xing had already made psychological preparations, and he was not overly sad, but he couldn't let go of it.
Being embraced by Shen Ying, he quickly sorted out his mood.At this time, An Xing noticed that Lu Tianchen had been looking at him.
"Brother Shen?"
An Xing tilted his head, looking at the man with worried eyes.
Lu Tianchen walked over, and suddenly reached out to rub the boy's curly hair.The dark eyes met the boy's light brown pupils, and the man's voice was deep and magnetic.
"Don't be sad. Even if they don't know you exist, but you know, that's enough."
Ning Rong and Shen Ying were taken aback, looked at Lu Tianchen in surprise, and then suddenly looked at An Xing.
An Xing didn't hide the astonishment on his face, and stared blankly at the man for a few seconds, and then an indescribable feeling spread from his heart, a little sour and a little happy.
The sourness was because Lu Tianchen was right and he couldn't let go of that point in his heart, and it was also because Lu Tianchen could see it because he was happy.
Being understood feels like soaking in a hot pool in winter, An Xing shook his ears, received the eyes of his mother and Ning Rong, and smiled at them.
"I'm really fine... Well, Brother Shen is right, it's good that I know."
This time, An Xing took the initiative to go to Lu Tianchen's side, grabbed the hem of the man's clothes, and pulled hard a few times.Feeling that this action was not enough to express his excitement, he saw that there were no outsiders around, so he simply moved over and forcibly kissed his brother Chen.
"Brother Shen, let's go eat barbecue another day!"
The little idiot's round eyes were shining, and his paws were still scratching his clothes excitedly, like a cat cub begging for attention, venting his happy emotions.
Lu Tian smiled deeply, grabbed An Xing's hand and squeezed it, and took the opportunity to invite:
"It's better to hit the sun than choose the day, or today?"
An Xing thought for a moment, then shook his head regretfully.
"Not today, we have something to do later."
He turned his head and smiled at Shen Ying and Ning Rong, and said to the man.
"I want to see their graves."
Lu Tian became clearer, his eyes became softer.
"That's fine."
He paused, but still couldn't hold back, staring at the young man in front of him, and said softly:
"Next time, can I go and see them with you?"
An Xing nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"
Brother Shen is his good brother, of course we can visit his parents together!
Lu Tianchen: ...
Facing the frank and sincere gaze of this obviously unenlightened little idiot, Lu Tianchen had a headache.
Ning Rong at the side finally saw something, looked at An Xing strangely, and then at Lu Tianchen.
Hmm... So, since the little idiot didn't understand at all, the sweet talk of the surname Lu didn't work.
Oh no, that can't be considered sweet talk - how can you say such subtle words to the little idiot?Going to see your parents together, the little idiot obviously didn't understand!
Ning Rong couldn't help but move closer to Shen Ying, and asked in a low voice: "They...?"
Shen Ying's eyes lit up, and she felt that this son seemed to have inherited their love and romantic cells, so she leaned over and bit her ear.
"You see it too?"
"Our Xingxing is a little idiot, that child Tianchen is actually a coward!"
When Ning Rong went out, he brought a copy of his identification report, and An Xing also made a copy of the identification report of himself and the Ning family.An Zhaoming and Shen Ying bought sacrificial supplies, and the family went straight to the cemetery in the suburbs.
The Ning family couple didn't anticipate that something would happen to them, so naturally they wouldn't prepare the cemetery in advance.After they passed away, Ning Rong was in a hurry to organize the funeral, but he didn't have much cash, so he bought a relatively remote place in the cemetery.
"Rongrong, let's move your parents' tombs."
Following Ning Rong, An Zhaoming proposed, and An Xing responded positively.
"Okay, I have pocket money, we can buy it together."
He paused, then teased Ning Rong: "It's not money from my parents, I earned it by making things myself."
Ning Rong turned around and pulled An Xing, motioned him to look at the road, and then replied: "It's okay, don't worry, they don't care about these people."
The Ning family and his wife are both teachers and firm materialists. They would not lie to Ning Rong since they were young, saying that people will go to heaven after death, and there will be a next life, and they are not people who care about what happens after death.
Ning Rong still remembers that when a distant elder of the Ning family passed away, their family went to the funeral.The place is remote, and the funeral customs are very complicated, Ning Rong watched as a child, dumbfounded.
After returning home, Ning Jingze squeezed Gu Lan's shoulders, and Gu Lan sighed and said to her son:
"Rong Rong, don't make it so complicated for your parents' funeral in the future, just call a few relatives and friends! You all know our good friends, so don't call any extra ones, it's too much trouble for you."
At that time, Ning Rong heard what a lot of customs represented, and asked curiously:
"Didn't you say that the more people you come, the better, so that you will have face underground."
"I don't know how many people will come." Gu Lan curled her lips, her almond eyes were sly, "And there are too many people here, I must think it's noisy."
Ning Jingze also patted his son's head, and said softly:
"It's not necessary. If you have to receive many people, you will be very tired. Your mother and I will feel distressed."
An Xing listened carefully, and from Ning Rong's description, tried his best to piece together the voices and smiles of his biological parents.He smacked his lips, also curious.
"Then how many people did you notify about their funeral?"
"Parents are from the same school, and all their colleagues and friends came here. Some of their students and parents came spontaneously. The children and family members they saved, and the people they went to teach in that village."
Ning Rong's eyes were a little nostalgic and a little sad.
"I thought, although they say that, it's better to be more lively."
Even though the Ning family and his wife are his parents, An Xing feels that it is Ning Rong who needs comfort more at this moment.He was thinking of saying something, when he saw Ning Rong's face suddenly sank, his eyes looked forward like a knife.
"What are you doing?!"
An Xing looked along, and was surprised to see Uncle Ning and Ms. Liu squatting in front of two tombstones not far away, not knowing what they were doing.Those two people were originally blocked by the tombstone, and it wasn't until Ning Rong walked out of the road and changed the angle that he saw them.
When the two heard the sound, they looked up in a panic, with hammers, wrenches and other tools scattered around their hands.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, An Xing quickly took out his mobile phone and took a picture of them.
"Why are you meddling, you little bastard! Give me your phone! Delete the photo!"
As soon as he saw An Xing, the string in Liu Yun's mind that represented reason broke with a snap, and he jumped up suddenly, wanting to rush over.
"Honey! Calm down! We didn't do anything, why are you panicking!"
Uncle Ning came to his senses, firmly stopped the middle-aged woman, reminded her loudly, and explained calmly to Ning Rong, who had a dark face.
"The two of us just came to see the tomb of the second child."
Ning Rong smiled sarcastically: "Come to visit the grave at noon?"
Ning Rong looked around.Due to environmental constraints, there are very few monitoring devices in the cemetery, and this location is also very remote. In the depths, few people pass by.
The two came to the cemetery at noon when there were few people, and they brought tools, obviously wanting to do something.If they didn't happen to come here, I'm afraid they will find something wrong when they come to visit the grave next time.
His expression became more and more gloomy.
It was a conditioned reflex that An Xing took out his mobile phone to take a picture. After putting away his mobile phone, he realized what happened, and looked at the two in disbelief.He didn't expect that these two people would act like this, stealing his parents' ashes!
"It's a good thing you didn't do anything, otherwise I would have to call the police again."
An Xing stuffed his phone, stood next to Ning Rong, and looked at the two with perverted eyes.
"Is the food in the bureau really that good? After you've been in once, you're still reluctant to go in for the second time?"
"What are you talking about! Do your business! Let's go to the family's grave, what are you, what are you meddling in!"
Liu Yun hated An Xing very much. If it weren't for this bastard who touched porcelain, how could she have been taken into the police station and left a record.Her son is going to study abroad and become an official when he comes back!She has a bad record, what if it affects her son!
Thinking of this, Liu Yun looked at An Xing's eyes and wanted to bleed. If he hadn't been pulled by Uncle Ning, he would have rushed to beat him immediately.
Is An Xing afraid of being beaten?Not afraid at all.He has his father and Ning Rong beside him, how can he still be beaten by these two people!
He shrank behind Ning Rong, raised his neck and looked across.
"What did you want to do just now?"
Ning Rong's gloomy and cold voice suddenly sounded, An Xing was startled, poked his head out to look, and was stunned.
The boy's face was completely sunken, without a trace of smile or relaxation. His long and narrow phoenix eyes were sharp and piercing at the moment, and his pair of black eyes seemed not to absorb light, and he looked at the two men intently.
An Xing had seen this kind of Ning Rong in his previous life—on the chaotic day when he recognized his relatives, the boy looked at him like a lone wolf.But at this moment, his eyes were even more fierce than before, like a wounded and irritated beast.
An Zhaoming and Shen Ying also found out that Ning Rong's condition was not right, and were a little worried.Although the two people in front of them did not do anything, they must trust their son instead of each other.As the head of the family, An Zhaoming looked at Uncle Ning and Liu Yun, and said solemnly:
"You two, stealing other people's graves is against the law. If you don't leave, we will call the police."
"Stealing? Which of your eyes saw us stealing?"
Liu Yun laughed angrily, pushed away the man who was blocking her, pointed at Ning Rong with his hips on his hips and yelled.
"This is the tomb of our second brother and sister-in-law. It has nothing to do with this kid! He is not the seed of our Ning family at all. We came here to clean and repair the family's tomb. What right does he have to control us!"
These words are rascally to the extreme, they are talking about Ning Rongfei's real identity.An Xing was furious, and was about to directly reveal his identity when he heard Ning Rong ask heavily:
"Are you trying to steal your parents' belongings?"
An Xing froze, looking at Ning Rong suspiciously.
The boy's eyes looked like a large predator that was enraged, and he looked at the two of them and said word by word:
"You know that I put my parents' belongings here, so you want to steal them and force me to give you the house, right?"
Having been called to defeat the purpose, Liu Yun simply stopped covering up and said contemptuously:
"What are the relics of your parents, they are not your parents! You are not their own at all, you are a bastard from who knows where!"
"Also, you spend every day with the young master of a rich family, do you want to curry favor with him? Sure enough, it's not a good thing, you just want to get married after your parents died..."
"You nonsense! Why does your mouth smell as bad as you!"
An Zhaoming and Shen Ying knew how to hide their thoughts. Although they were angry when they heard Liu Yun's words, they didn't have the temperament to jump out to argue with her, but their eyes turned cold.It was still An Xing who couldn't bear it, jumped out all of a sudden, and pulled Ning Rong behind him.
"Ning Rong is not a bastard, he is the child of my parents!"
Liu Yun, who was about to continue yelling, became dumb, her mouth opened and closed funny, and she wanted to scold An Xing for lying.But looking at the man and woman behind the boy, they didn't deny it at all. Instead, one of them hugged the boy and the other Ning Rong, and they looked over coldly.
Her heart was beating wildly.How... How could Ning Rong find his biological parents so quickly? !
Moreover, his biological parents were actually those two rich men!
No matter how ignorant Liu Yun was, when she was brought into the police station that day, she saw Shen Ying make two phone calls, and then called a special lawyer and the driver at home, and knew that this was a rich man she couldn't afford to offend.Later, she and her husband also inquired, knowing that this family is not simple.
But how could they... how could they be Ning Rong's biological parents!How could this kid have such a good family background!
She just felt dizzy, looking at the family standing together over there, she almost couldn't breathe well.
Just when she was about to pass out, she suddenly remembered something that she had almost ignored, and suddenly looked at the annoying boy beside Ning Rong.
"He is the child of those two people, what about you?"
"You are the child of our Ning family, the son of the second child?!"
Uncle Ning and Liu Yun's eyes were fixed on An Xing's body, like a hyena wandering in the wilderness, seeing a lamb alone.
Many things in this life are developing in a good direction. For example, Ning Rong has no barriers with his family for the time being. For example, he successfully found his biological parents.
But there are also some things that cannot be changed even if he is reborn once, such as the death of the Ning family couple.
