Chapter 24 Treated As A Gift

The moment An Lengyan entered the room, she caused a commotion. Many people who knew her came over to curry favor with her because of the Luo family. In an instant, the people surrounding the An family all gathered around An Lengyan.

Ruan Li and An Tianzhu's expressions were a little unsightly. An Tianzhu's plan had failed, while Ruan Li looked at An Lengyan's face. In an instant, she felt as if she had returned to the time when she was overshadowed by her mother's beauty, An Lengyan's face, which resembled her grandmother's, truly made her dislike her.

An Tianyang's expression was much more complicated. He was worried that An Lengyan would become his opponent in the future when they fought over the family assets. Recently, he had already entered the company and started to get involved with the company's matters. His heart no longer fluttered when he saw her pretty face. All that was left was scheming and plotting.

As for An Zhiyao, he looked toward a room on the second floor. The bodyguard standing at the door nodded at him and it made him ecstatic.

An Lengyan observed An Zhiyao's expression as she dealt with these people. Naturally, she noticed the room on the second floor. Who exactly was in the room?

The An family's head had already come down for the banquet, but as a guest, he still stayed in the room. It seemed like this person was a big shot.

Could he be the backer of the An family in the capital?

This conjecture made her perk up at this boring banquet.

An Zhiyao walked over to her with Ruan Li. He smiled lovingly and said, "Lengyan, come here. I'll introduce you to an uncle."

An Lengyan guessed his intentions. She felt disgusted, but she still cooperated with him. She also wanted to know who this person was and whether things were like what she had guessed.

An Lengyan smiled and held her father's hand like a naughty child. She asked, "Which uncle?"

An Zhiyao patted her hand and said, "You'll know when you see him."

The father and daughter had different thoughts. On the surface, they seemed to be getting along well.

An Tianzhu was also curious. Just now, she saw a man surrounded by bodyguards go upstairs and then never leave the room again. She was very dissatisfied with the big shot that her father had only introduced to An Lengyan. She secretly asked Ruan Li, "Who's he?" Who was that person?

However, the cautious An Zhiyao didn't even tell Ruan Li, so she didn't know either. This piqued An Tianzhu's curiosity even more, so she secretly followed them upstairs.

An Tianyang saw her, but didn't stop her. After all, they were in the An family's home, so there wouldn't be any trouble. However, he didn't expect that because of his indulgence, An Tianzhu would go down the deep.

An Lengyan followed An Zhiyao up to the second floor. Only then did she see that there were more than twenty bodyguards guarding the door. They had almost surrounded the entire second floor. She couldn't help but click her tongue. How badly did this person cherish his life?!

An Zhiyao respectfully called out from the door, "Master Lin."

A voice came from inside. The deep voice sounded aged. It didn't seem like he was at the age of an uncle, as An Zhiyao mentioned.

However, at this moment, An Zhiyao couldn't care less about An Lengyan's mood. After hearing the reply from the person inside, he excitedly pulled An Lengyan's arm and walked inside. In the dimly lit room, a man could be seen sitting at the innermost corner. His gray hair revealed his age.

The man turned around and stared straight at An Lengyan's face with a pair of aged and turbid eyes. He said with fascination, "She looks like her. She really looks like her."

An Zhiyao said with a smile, "Master Lin, this is my daughter An Lengyan. I've specially brought her here for you to take a look."

The two men understood what he meant by 'take a look'. Master Lin didn't even look at An Zhiyao and directly waved him out. An Zhiyao gritted his teeth and summoned up his courage to ask, "Then what about the Lin family's business in the country this time?"

Master Lin looked at him unhappily with a cold gaze. "Are you negotiating with me?"

An Zhiyao shuddered and broke out in cold sweat. He hurriedly said, "I don't dare to. I don't dare to. I'll go out now. Enjoy yourself."

An Lengyan stood where she was and endured this old man's wretched gaze. An Zhiyao actually left without her. When she wanted to leave, she found that was locked in the room.

She stretched out her hand and pulled on the door, but found that she couldn't open it at all.

A cold aura came from behind her, and a creepy voice rang out. "Your father sold you to me. You'd better be obedient."

An Lengyan turned around and almost bumped into Master Lin, who had stood behind her at some point in time.

At close range, there was a scar on one of Master Lin's eyes, and it made him look even more terrifying. He stretched out his wrinkled hand to grab An Lengyan, but she dodged it in a flash.
