Chapter 224: Chapter 224 A Must-See Climax of Recognizing Relatives (3)

An Zhihang had just returned from the Beiyan Continent, and he was unaware that it was Old Master Qin’s birthday today. He looked up at the family in the car, whose expressions varied, and hastily completed the call after a few words.

"Xiao Qing went to attend Old Master Qin’s birthday banquet, didn’t you know?" An Zhihang raised an eyebrow and watched the family, whose faces had turned red, with a helpless expression.

An Zisheng and Old Master An faced each other, and after struggling for a while, they blurted out, "Too excited... we forgot..."

An Zhihang looked at the four elders with embarrassment written all over their faces, his temples throbbing, and said to An Zhiyan, who was also stiff on the driver’s seat, "Don’t just stand there, go to the Qin Family Villa!"

...

Unlike the An Family’s cozy villa and the Gu Family’s historic mansion, the Qin Family Villa was located at the edge of the second ring road, and from the outside, it looked exceptionally grand and luxurious, especially at night when the lights were on, giving the whole villa a glittering golden appearance.

At this moment, in front of the Qin Family Villa’s main gate, various luxury cars gathered as elegant ladies and gentlemen slowly descended from the vehicles, linking arms with their handsome or unattractive companions, smiling sweetly as they walked into the villa.

In the hall at this time, festivities were in full swing. Since it was Old Master Qin’s birthday party, the entire hall was decorated in a classical red. This style of décor was quite out of sync with the overall tone of the villa, yet none of the guests seemed to mind.

Qin Dingshan, the one in power of the Qin Family. Unlike the Gu and Guh Families with their long histories, or the An and Bai Families with their noble status, the Qin Family was a family of merchants. Decades ago, Qin Dingshan, with his quick wit, realized that going into business could be a way to wealth, so he left his birthplace, Dashan, with a bundle on his back and came to the city alone to make his fortune. By virtue of his shrewd mind and ruthless methods, he somehow managed to push a family of merchants into the upper echelons of Xuandu City’s society. Since then, Qin Dingshan nurtured the ambition that as a merchant, he always felt somewhat inferior, so he started to place his people in government positions. After several decades of effort, his influence settled into a corner of Xuanjin, barely squeezing into the ranks of the Xuandu Five Great Families.

At the villa’s entrance, a mysteriously understated Aston Martin slowly pulled up, and a delicate hand stretched out of the car window, handing the attendant two red invitations.

"Good evening, Mr. Gu, Miss An. Please come in!" After carefully checking the invitations, the attendant returned them to An Yiqing and bowed respectfully.

The Aston Martin slowly started up again, continuing a short distance before parking in a spot in front of the villa.

"Tutu," Gu Yelin called to An Yiqing, who was unfastening her seatbelt and about to get out of the car, his dark eyes filled with complexity. He had heard everything that happened when An Zhihang called on the other end of the phone. Kong Shi already knew the girl’s background, so the whole An Family must know it too. Gu Yelin thought it over and felt it was better to prepare An Yiqing psychologically.

"Ah Lin, what is it?" The girl blinked her watery eyes, looking at the man who seemed hesitant to speak, somewhat puzzled.

Gu Yelin gazed at the bewildered girl and implied, "Tutu, would you be happy if Aunt An and Uncle An were your biological parents?"

An Yiqing was startled; a strange tremor ran through her heart, and her face stiffened slightly as she forced a smile, her voice dry, "Ah Lin, how could they be my biological parents?..."

Seeing the girl intentionally avoiding the issue, Gu Yelin’s heart ached terribly. He did not want An Yiqing to be sad, but this was something they could not avoid.

"Tutu," the man’s large hand gently straightened the girl’s hair, speaking slowly, "you have a Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, and see many things very clearly. This time, Ah Lin hopes you can face it bravely and not run away."
