An Ge'er Given the Cold Shoulder

Outside the door, there were soldiers stringently guarding the place.

This was her home. Her grandfather was a former commanding officer, and her father was also a senior officer.

She had always kept a low-profile, choosing to stand on her own two feet. Thus, not many people knew about her background. Even Qiqi also thought she was just an ordinary female student.

Indeed…

In actuality, she had nothing much to tell…

She stayed and ate alone outside and took care of herself. She would only be called to come back during the festivities or when there was a major event.

At this moment, being here, An Ge'er had no choice but to believe that this man was really her… little uncle.

After going through the fingerprint authentication, followed by the retinal scan, they finally entered the building. As soon as the car stopped, she hurriedly got down and dashed into the house.

"Uncle Fu, I'm back!" An Ge'er rushed to a middle-aged man who had just come out of the compound.

Uncle Fu was the family's butler and her grandfather's former subordinate. Grandpa doted on her, and Uncle Fu was also good to her.

"An Ge'er, it's good that you're back, good that you're back. Your grandpa has been thinking about you. Hurry and come in. Did your little uncle come back with you?" Uncle Fu patted her shoulder and asked laughingly.

Little Uncle? "At the back. I'll go and look for grandpa first."

An Ge'er headed in as she said this. She had just run up to the second floor when she heard a stern scolding voice, "So big already but still so unruly! Don't you know how to go up the stairs softly and quietly? Becoming more and more imprudent. Go to the kitchen to help bring the meal up."

Looking at the kind but grim old lady on the second floor, An Ge'er took a deep breath. She could not bring herself to say that she was going to see Grandpa. Instead, she simply said, "Yes, Grandma."

Then she went down softly and quietly.

…

That's why she did not want to come back.

Besides Grandpa, everyone else looked at her coldly and were exceptionally strict towards her.

She had to be cautious in every move she made. Every time she returned, she would somehow be hurt, and it was incredibly stifling and depressing for her…

Hence, she would put on a mask of obedience when she came here, trying her best not to give them any reason to scold or punish her.

Everyone knew that Little Uncle was coming back. When they heard the news, all of them immediately went out of the room and welcomed him.

An Ge'er was helping Aunt Chen in the kitchen. The kitchen door was not shut tight. From where she was, she could see Bo Yan stepping into the main hall. He was lean and tall. Holding his suit jacket in one hand, he casually put his other hand into his pants pocket. The expression on his face was one of indifference, and he emitted an aura of aloofness and nobility.

Everyone except for her father was there. Her mother, grandmother, and An Ruxue were all at home. Grandpa also came down from upstairs.

An Ruxue had always been a sweet-looking beauty, with the gift of the gab and sweet-talking. In a short period, the atmosphere outside grew lively.

While watching this scene, she suddenly felt that she did not fit into this family… A lively atmosphere like this was one that she would never be a part of.

"Young lady, go on and join them. I can take care of things here on my own," Aunt Chen said to her kindly.

An Ge'er looked away and smiled at her. "It's okay, I'll help you."

She picked up two dishes and went out.

They had all taken their seats one after another. When Grandpa An saw An Ge'er, he immediately beamed from ear to ear. "An Ge'er, come over here. Stop bustling about. Come take a seat beside Grandpa."

An Ge'er was about to go over to him when she heard her mother say, "Dad, she is already a grown-up. You shouldn't spoil her too much. She finally made a trip back, but you won't even let her serve the meal."

"This…"

An Ge'er smiled faintly and pretended to be nonchalant as she said, "It's okay, Grandpa. There are still a few dishes; I'll bring them over quickly."
