Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 290
Chapter 290 Win the Favor of the Elders
An Zixi heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one else saw this scene. However, she didn’t know that Tang Mingsheng had seen everything clearly. Tang Mingsheng stood at the staircase on the second floor and did not come down. After seeing Tang Jin Chen walk out, he also walked back to his room.
An Zixi sat boredom on the sofa and flipped through the magazine after breakfast. Although Tang Jin Chen had allowed herself to stay at home, she felt that staying here was uncomfortable. No matter what she said or did, it was wrong.
After sitting for a while, she suddenly felt a little thirsty and wanted the maid to pour herself a glass of water. She said to the maid standing at the side that she wanted to drink water, but the maid looked indifferent. An Zixi was no longer surprised by this situation. She stood up and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water.
When she walked out of the kitchen, she noticed that there was an extra person in the living room. Moreover, that person was none other than Tang Jin Chen’s former lover, Li Qing!
An Zixi decided to ignore this woman. She sat down on the sofa with a glass of water in her hand. Li Qing saw An Zixi’s complacent appearance and was furious. She pulled An Zixi up from the sofa. The cup in An Zixi’s hand was pulled by Li Qing and the water in the cup spilled out.
The water in the cup happened to be spilled on Li Qing’s clothes. Li Qing saw that her clothes were wet and raised her hand to hit An Zixi. An Zixi did not know how she had the courage to raise her hand to stop Li Qing.
“This is Tang Jin Chen’s grandfather’s house. You’d better not go too far!” An Zixi stopped Li Qing with his back hand.
Li Qing saw that she didn’t hit An Zixi, and the anger on her face deepened. She almost shouted and talked to An Zixi.
“Who are you to actually dare to say such words to me?!” Li Qing hated An Zixi very much now. If it weren’t for her, she and Tang Jin Chen would have been married long ago!
An Zixi knew that Li Qing hated him the most, but those things had nothing to do with him. But Li Qing had to blame herself. Wasn’t this too unfair? !
“I am a human, not a thing. Also, I think I have a reason to be here. It seems a little inexcusable for you to appear at Tang Jin Chen’s grandfather’s house now.” An Zixi didn’t have the slightest fear of Li Qing now. Instead, she had some courage in her heart. In the past, she didn’t dare to say these words to Li Qing, but now, she dared to say them out loud.
Li Qing’s face was pale and red with anger. An Zixi originally didn’t even dare to be so arrogant in front of her, but now, how could she speak to her so confidently? !
“Why are you here?! Who allowed you to be here?” Li Qing only wanted to visit Tang Mingsheng today. Although she had dissolved the engagement with Tang Jin Chen, the friendship between Tang Jin Chen’s grandfather’s family and Li Family was still there. Therefore, it was only natural for her to come here. On the other hand, this An Zixi, why did she appear here? !
An Zixi sneered calmly, “Shouldn’t I ask you this? I remember that you and Tang Jin Chen have already dissolved the engagement, so I want to ask you, what is the relationship between you and him?”
Li Qing couldn’t think of anything to say to and fro An Zixi. She pulled An Zixi out of Tang Jin Chen’s grandfather’s house. Ever since she quarreled with An Zixi, the maids from Tang Jin Chen’s grandfather’s family had been standing by the side watching. She didn’t want anyone to see this scene!
An Zixi followed Li Qing in Tang Jin Chen’s grandfather’s garden. An Zi Xi looked at Li Qing with his arms crossed, “Call me out. What exactly do you want to say to me?”
“You must leave Tang Jin Chen’s side immediately!” Li Qing’s tone was very strong, and she could not allow An Zixi to resist!
An Zixi’s slender eyebrows knitted together. If it was in the past, she would definitely do as Li Qing said with inferiority complex, but now she wouldn’t! Even if Li Qing told her to leave Tang Jin Chen’s side immediately, she would not agree to it!
“What qualifications do you have to say this to me now? You are no longer Tang Jin Chen’s fianc é e. Even Miss Li Family doesn’t have the qualifications to say such words to me!” An Zixi’s gaze was sharp, causing Li Qing to take a step back.
Li Qing grabbed An Zixi’s hand and threatened, “You’d better do as I say, otherwise I’ll make your death look very ugly!”
An Zixi shook off Li Qing’s hand and said, “I also want to give these words to you. You have a lot of trouble now, and you still have time to take care of it. Thank you very much.”
Li Qing was so angry that she wanted to slap An Zixi in the face again. A female voice came from the garden, “Stop!”
An Zixi knew that he wasn’t the one who said those words, but there should only be himself and Li Qing here. How could three people appear?
Tang Yuxin, who was walking in the garden this morning, saw that Li Qing was going to hit An Zixi. She blocked her exit and arrogantly walked over from not far away. Her pretty face was filled with disgust towards Li Qing, and she said in a very bad tone, “Li Qing, who allowed you to come to my house?”
Li Qing let go of her hand that was about to hit An Zixi. “Can’t I come over?”
“My family doesn’t welcome you. Neither my grandfather nor the people from this family welcome you.” Tang Yuxin said straightforwardly, not showing any mercy to An Zixi!
Li Qing’s expression became even uglier. Staying here would only be an insult. She threw a fierce expression on An Zixi’s face and told her that she would definitely not let her off so easily! An Zixi looked at Li Qing’s eyes, but did not say anything. After Li Qing left, Tang Yuxin smiled sweetly at An Zixi.
“Did you come here last night? If I had known, I would have slept in the same room as you.” Tang Yuxin muttered to herself like a child.
An Zixi felt that Tang Yuxin was very cute like this. “I came here last night, and I felt a little unaccustomed to staying in your house for the night.”
Tang Yuxin blinked her eyes. “What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Did those maids say something that made you unhappy?”
An Zixi felt that Tang Yuxin was really smart. She could actually guess what had happened. Although Tang Yu’s guess was correct, she could not tell her. She shook her head with a smile, “No, it’s just that I’m not used to sleeping in another bed.”
“Is it really that simple?” Tang Yuxin always felt that it was not that simple, but An Zixi was the kind of person who was afraid of troubling others. Even if something happened, he would only bury it in his heart.
Tang Yuxin suddenly thought of something important and forgot to remind An Zixi. She pulled An Zixi into the house and told her as she walked, “Have you seen that old-fashioned guy?”
An Zixi listened to Tang Yuxin’s old-fashioned words, but he didn’t know who it was, and looked at her blankly. Tang Yu Xin said excitedly, “It’s me and Tang Jin Chen’s grandfather!”
“No, I haven’t seen Grandpa yet.” An Zixi thought it was strange. He had been here for a while, so why didn’t he see Tang Jin Chen’s grandfather?
Tang Yu Xin winked at her, “Then do you want to see him? I’ll take you to see him.”
When An Zixi heard that she was going to see her grandfather, she became nervous again and stood still, not daring to leave. Tang Yuxin walked to the front and saw An Zixi stop at the same spot and look back at her. “What happened to you? Why didn’t you leave all of a sudden?”
“Are you really going to see grandpa? I’m a little scared.” An Zixi was telling the truth. She was indeed a little scared. She didn’t know if Tang Jin Chen’s grandfather wouldn’t like her.
Tang Yu knew that An Zixi was worried about this matter. She walked over and grabbed her hand. “Don’t worry, isn’t there still me? Even if my grandfather was a jackal, I would still be in front of you.”
An Zixi smiled. Tang Yuxin’s personality was very similar to Tang Jin Chen’s. Although her temperament was a little cold, her heart was still warm!
Tang Yuxin took An Zixi to the second floor. Tang Yuxin guessed that Tang Mingsheng should be practicing calligraphy in the study on the second floor. An Zixi’s heart beat fiercely as he walked. She wanted to see what Tang Mingsheng should say later, so she didn’t lose her composure and say the wrong thing in front of him.
Tang Yuxin knocked on the door and said obediently, “Grandfather, are you inside?”
The people inside did not say anything. They simply coughed. Tang Yu Xin heard Tang Ming Sheng coughing and knew that Tang Ming Sheng was inside. She turned around and winked at An Zixi, signaling for her to go in with her.
An Zixi followed behind Tang Yuxin nervously. Tang Yuxin saw Tang Mingsheng practicing calligraphy with a brush. She ran to Tang Mingsheng’s side and said, “Grandpa, are you practicing calligraphy?”
Tang Mingsheng continued to practice calligraphy and ignored her. Tang Yu Xin was already accustomed to how her grandfather treated her, so she did not take it to heart. She glanced at An Zixi and found that she was still standing in front of the door. She waved to her and asked her to come over to her side. An Zixi walked a few steps to Tang Yuxin’s side. Tang Yuxin asked An Zixi to greet her grandfather, but An Zixi didn’t know what to say.
“You don’t need to be afraid. Just say something casually.” Tang Yu knew that An Zixi was a little shy, but she didn’t know that she would be so shy.
An Zixi walked in front of Tang Mingsheng. She saw that although Tang Mingsheng was nearby, he did not look old at all. On the contrary, he gave off a kind of middle-aged and strong appearance. An Zixi was just thinking about what to say when Tang Mingsheng said, “Sisi, go out first. I have something to say to her alone.”
Tang Yuxin and An Zixi were stunned for a moment. Tang Yuxin understood what she said and made a cheering gesture to An Zixi to encourage An Zixi not to be timid!
An Zixi nodded and watched as Tang Yuxin walked out. Tang Mingsheng put down the brush in his hand and looked up at An Zixi. “Come over and see how I write this.”
An Zixi walked to Tang Mingsheng’s side and looked at the calligraphy Tang Mingsheng had written. Tang Mingsheng’s calligraphy could be said to be vigorous and powerful. He was like a flood dragon that had emerged from the clouds, and his qi was as leisurely as a god, yet his pen and brush were
“Grandfather, your calligraphy is really good!” An Zixi said with a smile.
Tang Mingsheng asked calmly, “Then tell me what’s so good about this calligraphy.”
An Zixi thought for a moment and said with a smile, “Writing calligraphy is the same as being a human. It’s all about integrity. Grandpa Lei, your calligraphy style seems to be tense and imposing. It can be seen that Grandpa is decisive and fierce in his actions.” After she finished speaking, she remembered if she had said something inappropriate.
After all, as a junior, it was extremely impolite for him to rashly judge an elder. However, he had already spoken, so there was no room for manoeuvre. He could only accept his own straightforward words.
This was the first time Tang Mingsheng had heard someone comment on his calligraphy. An Zixi was a very special girl.
Tang Mingsheng still didn’t say anything. An Zixi saw Tang Mingsheng not saying anything and didn’t know what Tang Mingsheng thought of him. Tang Mingsheng put aside the calligraphy he had written and asked An Zixi in a deep voice, “Have you known Jin Chen for a long time?” According to his understanding of Tang Jin Chen’s personality, those who could bring a girl home must have known each other for a long time.
