Chapter 143: Mr. An (1st Update)
The An family is the second largest family in Tongxian City. The patriarch is An Yonglu, who is also An Xiaopang's father. However, all matters of the family are still decided by Grandpa An, who is in the foundation-building stage.
When several people met Grandpa An, they all bowed. Grandpa An also exchanged a few words.
Grandpa An did not look down on Mo Hua because of his young age. Instead, he was quite polite.
He was so polite that Mo Hua felt something was wrong.
Why was he so nice to me when we had never met?
Mo Hua was secretly suspicious.
After chatting for a while, Mo Hua finally knew the whole story.
The evil cultivator was indeed a concubine's daughter of the An family.
The woman saw that the evil cultivator was handsome and moved her. She was deceived by his sweet words and decided to spend her life with him. When she found out that something was wrong, it was too late. She had been used as a furnace and was emaciated by the cultivation. She was in a trance all day.
Filled with bitterness and hatred, the woman was determined to commit suicide. Although she was rescued later, she became neither human nor ghost. She lived in panic and suffered...
When Mr. An learned about it, he was furious and asked the disciples of the An family to search everywhere, but there was no news.
The evil cultivator was very experienced and good at body movements. It was difficult to investigate and even more difficult to track down.
Mr. An also asked the Situ family, who had some connections with him, and Zhang Lan, the director of the Daoting Division, to help track down.
Later on the Dahei Mountain, Zhang Lan was able to catch the evil cultivator with Mo Hua's guidance.
Mr. An was very grateful to Mo Hua.
But Mo Hua still felt that it was wrong. Mr. An was a little too grateful.
At least he should be more grateful to Zhang Lan and Situ Fang. After all, they caught the person, and Mo Hua just helped.
As expected, Mr. An was reserved for a while and began to ask about Mo Hua's private affairs.
For example, what his parents do, what he wants to do in the future, whether he has learned the formation, etc.
Mr. An still cannot be offended.
Mo Hua was polite and answered some irrelevant questions seriously.
Mr. An continued to ask.
Mo Hua innocently talked about everything, and said a lot of nonsense. He looked serious, but what he said was all nonsense, as perfunctory as possible.
He couldn't make it up, so he smiled and said he didn't remember.
He was still a child anyway, so there was nothing wrong with saying that.
Mr. An asked questions in a roundabout way for a while, but he didn't ask a useful question. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
If the younger disciples of the An family could have such a mind, he would save a lot of worries.
After a while, Mr. An also called some disciples of the An family.
There were men and women, mostly women, all about the same age as Mo Hua, with good looks and formal dress.
Mo Hua took a look and saw An Xiaopang in the group.
There was no way, he was the fattest among the group.
He stood out from the crowd, it was hard not to see him...
But An Xiaopang didn't seem happy. He stood among a group of disciples, looking a little depressed, with his head down.
It seemed that although he was the son of the head of the An family, he was not taken seriously. Moreover, among the group of An family disciples, he should be the one with the lowest qualifications, the lowest cultivation, and the least outstanding appearance. He was probably put there to make up the numbers.
Grandpa An said: "Zhang Diansi and I still have something to discuss. If you don't mind, Brother Mo, you can go to the back to visit the garden of my An family. There are clusters of flowers and beautiful scenery."
"All these disciples in the clan can accompany you." Grandpa An pointed to the group of disciples, especially the beautiful female disciples in front.
Mo Hua was a little embarrassed. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what Grandpa An was thinking.
Situ Xiu was also a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Zhang Lan was watching the fun without complaining. He drank tea without making a sound. He just raised his eyebrows at Mo Hua in a gloating manner.
Mr. An spent so much effort. He probably wanted to get Mo Hua to marry into the family.
He just wanted to avoid being too obvious. He found some other An family members to mix in.
Mo Hua sighed in his heart and was too lazy to be perfunctory with Mr. An.
He was able to waste time saying those polite words just now, which was considered to be polite enough.
Mo Hua stood up and said goodbye: "It's getting late. I have something to do. I'll leave first. I won't disturb you and Uncle Zhang from talking about business."
Mr. An looked a little disappointed, but he didn't try to keep him. He just said:
"Little brother, please do as you please. There's no need to be polite."
Mo Hua stood up and wanted to leave. When he turned around, he saw An Xiaopang, who looked lonely. He hesitated a little and then sighed in his heart.
"Young Master An?"
Grandpa An's eyes lit up, "Little brother, do you know Xiaofu?"
Mo Hua nodded, "Young Master An and I are from the same school, and we have some friendship. Young Master An has helped me."
An Xiaopang was stunned.
Didn't Mo Hua help him with his homework? When did he help Mo Hua?
Why can't he remember...
Grandpa An's eyes lit up even more, and he looked at An Xiaopang with a little more approval.
"Since we have some friendship from the same school, then Xiaofu, you can take little brother Mo for a walk."
Everyone in the room looked at An Xiaopang.
It was the first time that An Xiaopang was looked at by so many people, and he felt a little embarrassed, but he still straightened his back a little and said, "Yes, Grandpa."
An Xiaopang took Mo Hua out of the living room.
After that, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person was like a deflated ball, and he became wilted again.
It looked a little pitiful, and a little funny.
Mo Hua couldn't help asking, "Are you afraid of your grandpa?"
Fatty An nodded, "Afraid. Not only my grandfather, I'm also afraid of my father and other uncles."
"Will they hit you?"
An Xiaopang shook his head.
"Will he scold you?"
"My dad can do it, but my grandpa can't, and other uncles generally can't either. Oh, by the way, my dad can also beat me..."
Mo Hua asked doubtfully: "Then why are you afraid of them?"
Fatty An didn't answer, but looked disappointed and said:
"Mo Hua, am I useless?"
Mo Hua wanted to say no, but couldn't seem to find any merit in him, so he could only say politely:
"A little bit."
An Xiaopang became even more frustrated, "My father is the clan leader. Logically speaking, I will also be the clan leader in the future, but I don't have the ability to be the clan leader..."
"Is this why you are unhappy?"
"Yeah." An Xiaopang nodded, "So my uncles and uncles looked at me with regret and disappointment. My grandfather also loved me when I was young, but when I grew up, he didn't even know how to correct me. Just look at me..."
An Xiaopang's voice became softer and quieter, and finally became almost inaudible.
"Didn't you know about this kind of thing before?"
In Mo Hua's impression, Fat An was still the carefree, somewhat temperamental, but good-natured little fat man.
Now he has become preoccupied.
"I didn't know before because I didn't notice it. But then one day, I suddenly discovered that the way my grandfather looked at me was no longer concerned, but indifferent and disappointed. When I looked at my father and my Those uncles and uncles are actually the same, they only have disappointment in their eyes..."
"Maybe they have been disappointed in me for a long time, but I just never realized it."
There was deep disappointment in An Xiaopang's eyes.
"Then you practice hard and learn more?" Mo Hua said.
An Xiaopang secretly wiped his tears and said, "Mo Hua, I'm stupid. No matter how hard I try, I can never learn. I can't learn what others can learn..."
