Best Delinquent Wife's Order: Rise Again, Hubby Chapter 845: Suspicion (1)

Chapter 845: Suspicion (1)

On the first day of her stay at the Andersons, other than Anxin coming over to cause trouble early in the morning, everything was calm.

At night, Anhao was about to take advantage of the fact that the old madam was not asleep to find out where the An family’s ancestral hall was.

Although the An residence was lit at night and the house was not very dark, Anhao was not familiar with the An family. She did not ask the servant to lead the way and took the opportunity to walk around alone while Zuo Hancheng was showering to look for the An family’s ancestral hall.

Just as Anhao was walking down a path that she had never taken before, a figure suddenly walked back in front of her. The moment their eyes met, Anhao’s expression was extremely calm, while An Ping looked at her under the lights of the house at night. Her eyes flickered with the longing and guilt that had been hidden in her heart for many years.

Anhao did not seem to notice the guilt in her eyes. She only looked coldly at Anxin, who was walking over quickly from behind her.

The moment Anxin saw Anhao, she subconsciously reached out and held Anping’s arm with a possessive expression.””Mom, it looks like it’s going to rain soon. Let’s go back.”

However, An Ping stood rooted to the ground. For the entire day, Anhao and Zuo Hancheng only had a few meals with Old Master An. They did not come to see her for the rest of the time, and it was as if their purpose for coming to the An family had nothing to do with her.

But could it really not be related?

When she realized that her mother was not leaving, Anxin’s voice was filled with anxiety and disbelief.

Could this Anhao really be her mother’s biological daughter?

An Xin’s hand tightened around An Ping’s arm.”Mom, we…”

“The sky isn’t covered with dark clouds. It’s just a few clouds blocking the moonlight. Why can’t I tell that it’s going to rain?”Anhao glanced at the clouds in the night sky indifferently, and the coldness in her tone made An Xin’s heart tremble.

Anhao remembered why she had come back. She would not be soft-hearted enough to forgive An Ping for abandoning her after her death just because she saw the pain and guilt in her eyes.

He had made his biological daughter suffer the pain of losing her mother for eight years. He had made her sit alone in that small, cold room all night long, hugging her black-and-white photo until dawn. He had made her suffer the pain of being heartlessly abandoned by her mother.

How could she forgive him so easily?

In fact, An Ping had never given herself an explanation.

Anxin felt fl.u.s.tered because of Anhao and her mother’s gaze. She subconsciously tugged at An Ping’s sleeve.”Mom, I’m not feeling well today. Grandpa has been lukewarm to me for the past two days. I’m feeling really uncomfortable. I want to sleep in your room. Can you sleep in the same bed as before…”

Anhao smiled when she heard Anxin’s words, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the small path under the light was a little strange.

Anhao’s lukewarm gaze lingered on Anxin’s hand for two seconds. Anxin’s hand that had been holding onto Anping’s arm suddenly stiffened. She seemed to have noticed that her mother also felt that this situation was a little awkward. Although she was not convinced, she did not dare to make her mother unhappy. She tried her best to suppress the instinctive coquettishness in her heart and slowly moved her hand away from Anping’s arm.

However, Anxin’s careful actions made An Ping think that she seemed to be very afraid of Anhao. She immediately looked up and landed on Anhao, her eyes carrying a silent inquiry.

She could tell that she wanted to ask if she had said anything to Anhao, but Anhao didn’t say anything. She just looked at her calmly, and her eyes were filled with cold mockery.

An Ping also instantly realized that she would actually suspect her because of such a small matter. She immediately withdrew the expression in her eyes and turned to Anxin beside her at the same time.”If you’re not feeling well, go back to your room first. Ask Auntie Zhao to call a doctor over to see if you’ve caught a cold. Otherwise, why would you suddenly feel uncomfortable?”

“No need, Mom.” Anxin didn’t say anything else, but her eyes were clearly downcast. She looked at Anping with some grievance before turning to leave.

Anping turned around to look at Anhao. Just as she was about to speak, Anhao suddenly said,”” If you catch a cold, take two pills and rest early. Ms. An is already an adult, and you can’t be worrying about yourself like a child. Auntie An is already so old, and she can’t possibly be by your side and take care of you forever. Perhaps one day, you’ll realize that everything that originally belonged to you has been overturned overnight. When a girl is young, she has to learn to take good care of herself so that she won’t be too helpless after being abandoned.”

Seeing Anxin leave without a word, An Ping felt the faint hostility between the two children. She could not help but say,”Child, I know you have a grudge in your heart, but don’t worry. She’s innocent. She was my…”

“How innocent?” When Anhao said this, she stared straight at the trace of heartache in An Ping’s eyes, but she didn’t know who she was feeling sorry for.

For the biological daughter she had abandoned, or for the adopted daughter who had just left because of jealousy and anger.

An Ping’s family background was prominent. It was not overboard for her to go to the orphanage and bring back a child for adoption. However, she had adopted a girl who had a very similar charm to her. She had to leave herself in the Gu family and put her adopted daughter by her side to dote on her. Just as Anping was about to speak, Anhao’s eyes suddenly glanced indifferently in the direction where Anxin had just left.

Not far away, there was a flowerbed in full bloom. Anxin didn’t go far, but hid there and eavesdropped on their conversation.

Anping also subconsciously glanced in the direction of the flowerbed because of Anhao’s action of turning her head. She immediately understood what she meant and frowned. There were some things that she really shouldn’t let Anxin hear. She was about to turn around and let the child go back first.

Just as An Ping was about to pa.s.s away, Anhao’s voice suddenly sounded.”You still don’t plan to tell me what happened back then?”

An Ping stopped in her tracks and looked back at Anhao in surprise. She used her eyes to tell Anhao not to let Anxin know about this.

Anhao looked at her with a cold smile, which made An Ping’s hair stand on end. She realized that the little princess who had been by her side for fourteen years had changed a long time ago. She had become a complete stranger to her.

“Perhaps you don’t understand me well enough now. To me, I won’t even look at what belongs to others. However, if anyone dares to touch something that belongs to me, I might give them a chance to retreat. However, if she doesn’t know how to retreat and instead wants to s.n.a.t.c.h it openly and secretly, I’ll make her pay the price.”

An Ping’s face turned even paler. Even Anxin, who was hiding behind the flowerbed, had already turned around and left after hearing these words.
