Chapter 827: An Anjia in the United States (1)
Compared to the coquettish and meek Anhao who was in Zuo Hancheng’s arms in the morning, Anhao was like a hedgehog who had suddenly put up all her defenses despite her silence. It was as if she had returned to the rebellious era. Her entire body seemed to be wrapped in a thick layer of thorns that did not allow anyone to approach her.
Anping not dying was definitely the greatest irony to her. Today was the anniversary of Anping’s death. In Anhao’s mind, it was the eighth anniversary of her mother’s death. After today, it would be the ninth year of her mother’s death.
“I’ve asked someone to investigate in advance. Anping is still in Los Angeles and hasn’t returned. When you arrive at the An family, the first people you’ll see will be the old master and old madam of the An family.”Zuo Hancheng suddenly said something. His voice was not loud, but it brought Anhao back to her senses.
At the same time, his hand was suddenly held by him. Anhao turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and saw that his expression was calm, but because of this sentence, she was instantly refreshed.
Are they still in Los Angeles?
The other day, Anhao heard the girl say that she was accompanying her to see a doctor. At that time, Anhao didn’t hear clearly what kind of illness it was, but why was she still in Los Angeles after so long? Could it be that there was someone they knew there?
The black Maybach slowly drove in front of the An family’s door. When she finally saw the so-called An family, Anhao’s gaze stayed outside the car window.
Although it was located in the wealthy district of Manhattan, it was not connected to the manors and villas. Instead, it was a huge house with a fake mountain and artificial lake.
Although the An family’s manor was not as large as the Zuo family’s, it was small and exquisite. It was not small at all. How could a house that was two to three thousand square meters be called small? Every part of the house seemed to be a luxurious scene. It could be seen that the owner of this house was meticulous and meticulous.
The black Maybach slowly drove to the parking lot inside the An family’s residence. The first thing they saw was an old man who was about the same age as Old Master Zuo and a few servants who followed him out.
Before An Hao came here, he already knew that the old man and the old lady of the An family were still alive. However, he did not expect that although Old Master An was about the same age as Old Master Zuo, Old Master An did not need a walking stick and looked more energetic than Old Master Zuo. Standing in the crowd, one could see the aura of a powerful old man from his body at a glance.
Anhao didn’t know much about the An family’s status in the United States, but she knew that it wasn’t bad compared to the Zuo family. Moreover, since she could be considered a family friend of the Zuo family, she reckoned that even if the An family wasn’t a world-renowned Zuo family business like the Zuo family, they should be a person with a certain status in New York.
There were indeed some Chinese people in power in New York. After all, they were also American citizens. They wouldn’t be banned from certain official positions just because they had Chinese blood flowing in their veins.
Anhao sat in the car and looked at the old man until the door slowly opened. After Zuo Hancheng got out of the car, he looked back at her and reached out his hand to her.
Anhao’s calm eyes were filled with curiosity about the An family and her relationship with Old Master An. If she was really a child of the An family, then this old man should be her grandfather.
However, it was obvious that this grandfather did not know of his existence.
From the moment she got out of the car, Old Master An sized her up as if he was looking at the granddaughter-in-law of the Zuo family. At the same time, his gaze was very polite.
Anhao was dressed in a casual suit today. She was wearing a skin-tight light-colored shirt and a simple lemon yellow knitted blouse. Her hair was not tied into a ponytail as usual. Instead, it was tied into a Chinese style bun that the servants in the villa had carefully braided for her. She looked youthful and energetic, yet graceful and n.o.ble. When Zuo Hancheng helped her out of the car, many people suddenly looked at her.
Even Old Master An’s gaze, which was originally observing the granddaughter-in-law of the Zuo family, gradually changed.
Anhao and Anping looked very similar when they were young. Every time they picked up a photo of Anping in the past, anyone would find that she looked at least 70% to 80% similar to the young Anping in the photo.
Seventy to eighty percent. This could no longer be described as just a resemblance.
After Anhao got out of the car, her appearance seemed a little abrupt. She looked up and met the gaze of Old Master An and the servants. She nodded politely at them and walked over with Zuo Hancheng.
Old Master An’s gaze had already turned away when they walked over. He turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and a smile appeared in his eyes.”A few days ago, I heard that you were in New York too, and you had made an appointment to visit the An family today. I’ve been waiting for you all day, and you’ve finally arrived.”
“Elder An’s body looks even stronger than ten years ago.”As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he handed the gifts that D had sent someone to buy to the An family’s servant.
“Is that so? Compared to your Old Zuo, my body seems to be much healthier than his. I heard that not long ago, Old Zuo suddenly fell ill, which made me very anxious, afraid that he would walk in front of me.”Elder An looked at Zuo Hancheng with a smile as if he was looking at a young man whom he had always admired. The smile in his eyes was absolutely real, and he seemed to be very happy about Zuo Hancheng’s arrival.
“Grandfather did stay in the hospital for a few days not long ago. Fortunately, he was fine. As long as he recuperates at home, he should be able to live another 20 to 30 years.”When Zuo Hancheng walked in front of the old man, his att.i.tude was calm and showed some respect from a junior to an elder. This feeling was very appropriate. It was not too humble, but it was not too distant and arrogant.
“That’s good. When we were young, we often traveled everywhere together. The furthest and most dangerous place we’ve been to was the South Pole. At that time, we relied on our endless physical strength and dared to climb the glacier that was forbidden to enter. At that time, we almost died there. Fortunately, a fleet pa.s.sed by and saved us from the glacier.”
Elder An recalled his younger days and smiled at Zuo Hancheng.””Speaking of which, I have been carefully nurturing the Ice Blue that I, Old Zuo, brought back for many years. I was only counting the number of rare species that had been planted in the United States, but I forgot that time had pa.s.sed so quickly. Han Cheng had grown up from such a tall child and had a family.”
