Abyss of Rebirth

Mr. An didn't seem to expect that An Rui would let go so quickly on the issue of adopting another child by the An family, so after seeing An Rui nodding in agreement, he was obviously stunned for a moment.

"Ruirui, what are you talking about? Are you... agreeing?" Mr. An asked tentatively.

An Rui nodded, with an innocent and harmless expression on his face: "Since grandpa has said so, why should I object?" He looked at Mr. An and smiled, like a real child who doesn't know much about the world Usually, "Grandpa will never harm me."

After hearing An Rui's words, Mr. An just looked at him fixedly and remained silent for a long time.An Rui felt a little uncomfortable being watched, tilted his head, and called out in a strange way: "Grandpa?" Then the old man withdrew his gaze, reached out to pat An Rui's head, and sighed deeply and heavily. Muttering in his mouth: "Good boy, good boy."

Then there was silence for a while, and when he pulled An Rui to stand up, the expression on his face had returned to normal, "Okay, after talking for so long, grandpa's grandson must be hungry too? Come on, we two Eat first, don't wait for those who haven't woken up... Rarity told grandpa, what do you want to eat this morning?"

"Dumplings!" An Rui raised his head, blinking his big black eyes at Mr. An, and said excitedly, "I want to eat fennel dumplings!"

"Okay, fennel dumplings, I will eat fennel dumplings this morning..."

The servants had already prepared the dumplings. Even though the servants of Anzhai had been sent back by the old man to celebrate the New Year, it was still necessary for the old ladies who were not good at cooking to make dumplings.

Just as the dumplings were out of the pot, the two of them heard a sound coming from the stairs.An Rui looked up, and happened to look at Zhou Yuting with some embarrassment.

"Father." Zhou Yuting called out to Mr. An, then looked down at An Rui who was beside her, smiled, and said hello, "Happy New Year, Xiao Rui."

Mr. An glanced at Zhou Yuting, ignored her, and said slowly, "Ruirui, what time is it?"

An Rui looked down at his watch and replied, "Grandpa, it's eight o'clock."

Mr. An let out an "oh", but was speechless again.

Zhou Yuting was a little embarrassed by Mr. An, but fortunately, she adjusted immediately. With a smile on her face, she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to step forward to help: "Dad, you go and rest, I will do it here gone."

"Don't, don't, don't bother you. This pot of dumplings should be cooked in a few minutes, so don't mess around with me." Mr. An reached out his hand to block Zhou Yuting, and said leisurely, "You have the skills Why don't you hurry up and call Haicheng down, it's nothing! Why do you become more and more tired after getting married, it's outrageous!"

Zhou Yuting hurriedly said: "Dad, don't be angry, Haicheng didn't know why last night, he didn't sleep well all night, that's why...he was already up when I woke up just now, and he is probably washing his face in the room now , wait for a while, people should come down."

Listening to Zhou Yuting's words, Mr. An's eyes, which had been calm all the time, flickered indiscernibly quickly.But those subtle mood swings didn't need to be studied deeply, so he quickly lowered his eyes, took the colander sideways, and quickly scooped up the dumplings in the pot.

"Should people come down in a while? It's just right. Haicheng doesn't like dumplings with fennel flavor," Mr. An said indifferently, "There are still some stuffed pork and cabbage in the refrigerator. You can cook them. It's just right for you to eat." He eats hot."

After finishing speaking, he pulled An Rui and walked straight towards the dining table.

An Rui obediently followed behind Mr. An, only inadvertently looking sideways at the woman who was scolded and looked more and more pitiful behind her.

No matter how ruthless she is, the current Zhou Yuting is still just a young girl who has just grown up for a few years. Compared with the noble lady ten years later, she is far from enough.

An Rui even looked at the resentment in Zhou Yuting's eyes with an inexplicable joy. He turned his head and lowered his eyes. His long eyelashes were like a small fan, perfectly covering the eyes. Constantly surging emotions.

An Haiguo really went downstairs very quickly. He walked to the dining table like a ghost, looked at the people on the table, and then sat directly next to An Rui.

The dumplings on Zhou Yuting's side were also cooked, she put a plate in front of An Haicheng, and gave some gentle instructions, An Haicheng listened to her, nodded at her, and then took the chopsticks I ate the dumplings absent-mindedly.

After finishing his plate of dumplings, An Rui wiped his mouth, put down the napkin, then turned his head to look at An Haicheng, and said with a smile, "Dad, why do you always look at me like this so early in the morning? Is there a flower blooming on my face?"

Looking at An Rui's smiling face, An Haicheng hesitated even more. He put a dumpling he had just picked up into the bowl, put down his chopsticks, and was about to say something, when suddenly, Mr. An coughed violently.

"You don't eat, you don't sleep, you don't talk, it seems that you have been out for a few years, have you forgotten what I said?" Mr. An knocked on the bowl with his chopsticks, "When you eat, eat well, nonsense What!"

"Dad, I..."

An Haicheng raised his head and called Mr. An, but before he could say anything, he was glared at by the old man: "Eat! After eating, come with me to the study room again. I want to tell you about our An family. rules!"

This time the old man's "teaching" didn't last long, but after An Haicheng came out, he felt even more depressed.An Rui saw all this, but he didn't talk or ask, but just played his role dutifully and conscientiously in the old house every day.

Anjia is considered a big family in Z City, and there are many people who want to visit Anjia's big tree on weekdays. Therefore, every Spring Festival, people from all walks of life start rushing to Anjia's mansion to pay New Year's greetings.In the first few days, An Rui showed up a few times out of politeness, but later on, he didn't show his face at all, and just hid in his room by himself.

On the contrary, Zhou Yuting, a bride who just married into An's family, took care of An's family during the whole new year, and won the reputation of "virtuous and courteous". After seeing her again in a few days, her attitude has become a lot more gentle in words and actions.

An Rui lay on the bed, half-closed his eyes, and sneered from the corners of his lips. This woman is really smart.

Time flies, and the Spring Festival is over in a blink of an eye, and then it is the day when various primary and secondary schools start.Although An Rui didn't want to face it very much, but at the moment, a cruel reality before his eyes was that ten years old... oh, no, after this year, he should already be 11 years old.And the 11-year-old him, Mr. An Ruian, is currently a true fourth-grade elementary school student studying in an elite elementary school in the center of City Z.

An Rui turned half sideways, looking at the young lady in the mirror who was wearing a silly blue and white school uniform and tied a red scarf from her aunt around her neck, and suddenly felt a bit pained.

"Do I have to dress like this?" An Rui tugged at the red scarf tied around his neck like a dog leash, frowning tightly.

The servant who was waiting for him to change his clothes looked at An Rui who lost his temper suddenly for some reason, hesitated for a while, and then nodded: "Young master's school has clear regulations, no matter what your status is, you can go to school You have to wear it all the time."

An Rui thought about it hard, after all, it was a memory from too long ago, and he couldn't remember whether the crappy school he went to when he was a child really had such a stupid rule.But in any case, it seems that few people in the school will not wear school uniforms.

Well, a school of idiots sounds better than him alone, doesn't it?

"Yes, if the young master really doesn't want to..." Seeing that An Rui hadn't spoken for a long time, and thinking of his young master's temper before, the servant felt a little uneasy for a while. She muttered, trying to make amends.

"Tsk, forget it." Looking at the expression of the maid beside him, An Rui felt a little annoyed, waved his hand, and let her go, "That's it...give me the schoolbag." Saying, from the maid's hand He took his schoolbag, put on his shoes and went out.

There was already a professional driver waiting outside the door, An Rui glanced at the car parked downstairs, and went straight past the driver: "You don't need to drive me today, the school is not far away, I can do it by myself."

"But, Mr. An has given orders..." The driver was stunned for a moment when he heard what An Rui said, and then trotted to catch up and said in a low voice.

"Mr. An?" An Rui stopped, turned around, and looked up at the driver. After a long time, a sneer appeared on his pretty face, "There is not only one person named An here."

"This..." The driver was a little speechless.

"Okay, I'll talk to Dad, so you don't have to worry about it. I'll say it again." An Rui gently pulled the strap of his schoolbag, his eyes were calm, "Stay away from me .” After saying that, without saying another word, he turned around and left.

Maybe it was really the shadow of his previous life. Anyway, he thought, he would never want to sit on this thing that killed him again for a while in this life.
