Chapter 8

In the evening, the white car passed through the towering palace, the sparkling lake, and finally stopped at the thousand-person banquet hall in the middle of the lake.

Thousands of years ago, after the founding emperor fixed the capital, Xingxing, he built a huge palace with great construction.

Since then, it has been repaired and expanded by generations of emperors, and finally formed this huge and magnificent building complex that is comparable to a world heritage site. In addition to the daily life of the royal family, it also covers most of the central authority.

It was already evening, and the setting sun swayed a dazzling golden light on the lake, illuminating the white marble railings in a gentle and elegant manner.

“Brother is entering the palace for the first time? Would you like me to introduce you to the precautions?” An Ning appeared in front of An Ji in a white suit, her hair was curled into a delicate arc, her face was gentle and considerate, “If it is in terms of etiquette, If something went wrong, the face of the An family was lost.”

An Ji looked down at An Ning and said coldly, “No need.”

He is half a head taller than An Ning, and looking down at him at this moment, it makes people have the illusion that they don’t dare to stand up to him.

It’s just a country bumpkin, showing a noble and glamorous attitude to anyone!

“Are you really not listening?” An Ning resisted the desire to roll his eyes and judo gently, “There’s an Omega talent show tonight, you’re not prepared for anything, you’re probably going to lose face at home.”

An Ji raised his eyebrows: “I lose face of the An family, what’s your business?”

“you-”

An Ning’s expression changed immediately.

These words were so cruel that they almost pointed to his nose and scolded, “You are an adopted son, what qualifications do you have to take care of me as a genuine young master?”.

An Ning gritted his teeth angrily, but unfortunately, he always portrayed a quiet and handsome man. Seeing that more and more people around him were paying attention to this, he had to hold back his anger and try to squeeze out a gentle smile.

Forget it, don’t bother with him now, he has a way to teach himself a lesson!

In fact, An Ning thought too much just now. Few people cared about his face, because most people came to see An Ning.

An Ji was 1.8 meters tall, and was standing there wearing that custom-made evening dress, her long legs were very eye-catching.

His appearance is superior, but what is more outstanding is his temperament. In the era when Omegas in the entire empire pursued softness as beauty, Anji was like a cold ice man, tearing a cold hole in the decadent high society.

Let anyone see this scene and can’t help but admire the perfection of the Creator.

Anji put one hand in his pocket and swayed slowly inside. Many people who wanted to strike up a conversation were stunned by his cold aura. It was hard for someone to muster up the courage, but unexpectedly just took a step and saw a woman holding Anji’s arm.

“Mom?” An Ji’s movements froze for a moment, he was not used to being in such close contact with people, and subconsciously wanted to draw out his arm.

“I’ll take you in.” Xu Jingan tightened her claws and reached out to grab An Can at the end of the team.

An Can stood aside in a black suit. He didn’t seem to be used to this outfit. His sharp brows were furrowed, and he tugged at his bow tie irritably. It looked like a beast bound in chains, as if it was about to explode in the next moment.

His irritability level reached its peak after Xu Jingan approached, and his body was tense, dodging Xu Jingan’s arm as if avoiding the enemy’s attack.

Xu Jingan: “…”

Anji: “…”

An Can didn’t realize that there was anything wrong with his actions just now. He stood aside coldly, his dark pupils full of vigilance.

Xu Jingan’s arm was suspended in mid-air, trembling invisibly. As if nothing had happened, she retracted her hand and tried her best to show a smile, but when she met An Can’s defensive eyes, the meager smile quickly disappeared, and her eyes turned red.

“An Can,” An Ji said solemnly, “Come here.”

An Can frowned even more: “What?”

“Come here.” Anji repeated.

An Can stood there and looked back quietly, the two lines of sight collided in the air, as if they were engaged in a silent confrontation.

After a long time, An Can sighed inaudibly, and took the initiative to reach out to hold Xu Jing’an, and the mother and son walked in hand in hand.

Behind them, An Ning stared at An Ji, his carefully drawn eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

After the dinner started, Anji got rid of Xu Jingan and found an unobtrusive place to hide and eat.

He has so many memories of hunger that now every time he eats, he has to eat until he stops.

It’s a pity that the clothes I wear today are too fitting, and Anji can’t fit in a quarter of his usual food intake. Watching the waiter get on the new steak, he couldn’t help but take another piece, and he choked.

Just when he was scrambling to find water to drink, a glass of cool lemonade was handed over.

An Ji took the cup and drank it, only to find An Yao standing opposite him when he looked up, looking at him with a smile from the corner of his eyes.

Anji: “Thank you.”

“Are you used to coming back these days?” An Yao sat down beside him and said in a natural tone, “If there is anything you need help, you can tell me. Although my abilities are limited, I can still help with small things.”

At this time, An Yao was a sophomore at the School of Political Science at Imperial University, and he was in the same class as Li Rong. Imperial University is a super famous school ranked first in the capital star, and the School of Political Science is a star major, cultivating generations of managers of the Empire.

It can be said that he has already stepped into the aristocratic Alpha circle halfway.

When An Ning was still engaged in house fights, he had already paved the way for his future, and even if he left Anjia now, it would not have much impact on him.

He said that being able to help is not a big deal, but that he really has a certain amount of strength.

But Anji didn’t know what he was thinking, just gave him a cold look and didn’t answer.

An Yao was not annoyed, but told the story on his own: “There was a pond where I lived when I was a child, and I thought it must be the largest lake in the world. Later, a classmate went to Capital Star and said that Lake Biwa is bigger than my doorstep. The pond is bigger, I don’t believe it, and when we argued with him, neither of us could convince anyone, and we ended up fighting fiercely.”

“I won, so I am convinced again that no matter how big the lake is, it is not as big as the lake in front of my house.” In the crowded banquet hall, An Yao’s voice was very soft. Rather talk to yourself.

“Afterwards, my parents died unexpectedly, and the An family adopted me. When the space shuttle crossed Lake Biwa, no one knew how shattered my heart was under my calm exterior.”

Anji opened his mouth, but didn’t speak.

“I went back to my hometown not long ago, and I found out that the pond that I thought was boundless when I was young was actually just a small puddle. Oh, a small puddle,” An Yao laughed at himself, “but how can I Think of it as a lake?”

An Ji raised his head and suddenly understood the other party’s intention.

An Yao: “I am very grateful to the An family for their adoption. They changed my life.”

“It’s gold that always shines,” An Ji said calmly. “You’re already good enough. Even if you’re not adopted, with your ingenuity, you won’t be too bad.”

An Yao laughed: “Do you really think so?”

Anji pursed his lips and said nothing.

“You don’t need to test me,” An Yao stood up and said while arranging his clothes, “As long as you don’t provoke me, I won’t give you any trouble, and I can provide appropriate help.”

At that moment, Anji knew that An Yao’s pursuit was long gone from Anjia, and he had successfully used Anjia as a springboard, allowing himself to stand on a higher platform.

“An Yao, that’s the younger brother you just found? Can you introduce me?” A young man bumped An Yao’s shoulder and looked at An Ji in a meaningful way.

The engagement of Anji and Li Rong has not yet spread to the children of the aristocratic family. The alphas with strong hormones at the scene couldn’t move their eyes after seeing Anji.

“It’s too funny, such a beautiful Omega brother didn’t even tell us!”

“Don’t you want to hide it yourself?”

“Are you crazy? Are they brothers?”

“The adopted son is not related by blood.”

Everyone in their circle knew that An Yao was the adopted son, but almost no one looked down on him.

“Fuck off, don’t count on me, like to go by yourself.” An Yao sent a few friends who wanted him to lead him and turned around to light a cigarette in the garden.

He originally wanted to relax, but unexpectedly An Ning rushed over the next moment and said reproachfully: “Brother, what’s the matter with you? You don’t help me deal with Anji, but you still take the initiative to show him goodness?!”

Even smoking doesn’t make people clean, An Yao let out a “tsk” and put out the cigarette in his hand.

“Speak up!” An Ning was really anxious, and couldn’t help but urged again.

He didn’t even know what was going on. Since Anji came back, everything in the family has changed.

The parents who originally doted on him turned all their attention, and the eldest brother, who had always been cold and indifferent, also began to show his affection to him. How could he still have his place in this family!

“Looking at our ten years of friendship, I also remind you,” An Yao narrowed his eyes, and his gold-rimmed glasses flashed in the twilight, “Don’t try to trouble Anji again, or you will be ruined one day sooner or later. in my own hands.”

An Ning’s face sank, and her eyebrows were twisted together: “So you don’t want to cooperate with me to take back Anjia?”

An Yao sneered, a bit of disdain and pity on his face. Just when An Ning thought he was going to say something, the man walked into the hall without looking back.

The heavy door was pushed open by the waiter, laughter poured out like mercury, and he was like a clown who was turned away, no one looked at his adopted son again.

An Ning clenched his teeth, and there was a strong unwillingness in his eyes.

Why would he give up his place when Anji came back? Why did Anji take away all the favors that belonged to him when he came back? He is the young master of the An family, and he wants to take back everything that belongs to him!

…

In the banquet hall, Anji has already started to eat the second round.

Li Rong didn’t know what was going on today, but he disappeared halfway through the banquet. An Ji sent a few Alphas who came to chat with him, and was considering whether to go to Li Rong, when he found a few dark shadows cast in front of him.

—An Ning walked over with a few people who supported him.

“Is something wrong?” An Ji reluctantly gave them a look.

An Ning: “It’s time for the Omega talent show. I’ll come and tell you.”

An Ji let out an “oh” and continued eating without raising his head.

An Ning waited beside him for a long time, but he didn’t expect that this person hadn’t said a word other than “Oh” just now. Eat, eat, are you a pig? Why don’t you get fat?

“Anything else?” An Ji sensed An Ning’s approach, and waved his hand impatiently, “I understand what I just said, you can go down.”

Of course he has something to do. He came here to prevent Anji from getting down on the stage. What if he left now? He is not a messenger!

“Brother, have you prepared any programs?” An Ning smiled, “The queen has always been close to people and is willing to use this platform to show us herself. There are not many opportunities like this, so don’t miss it.”

An Ji looked at the dazzling array of food without raising his eyes: “No show.”

An Ning: “We know that you didn’t learn anything in Junk Star, otherwise choose something simpler, how about poetry reading?”

“Won’t.”

“Then singing and dancing?”

“Won’t.”

“How about playing the piano? You know, this is a must for Omegas.”

“Won’t.”

A few Omegas around had already started laughing, and whispered, “Is this your brother? It’s not like that, it’s not too embarrassing for the An family, isn’t it?”

“Don’t say that, my brother is in difficult conditions,” An Ning smiled, almost unable to hide the sarcasm on his face, “otherwise, brother, just tell me what you know.”

An Ji, who was full of food and drink, put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth slowly, and then raised his eyebrows: “Do you want to know?”

“Of course I want to,” An Ning smiled gently, “I know you just came back from the junk star. After all, we’ve never been to that kind of place before. We want to see you bring a new experience.”

“A brand new experience?” An Ji curved his lips and smiled oddly, “It might be really new to you.”

Anning: “What?”

An Ji suddenly stood up, stared at An Ning’s eyes and said word by word: “I will use a fork to take out the human eye in one second, I will use a knife to dismember the human into 108 pieces, I will catch the Zerg, remove the head and eat the body. .”

Every time he said a word, he took a step closer to An Ning, and when he finished speaking, people were already standing in front of An Ning.

Beautiful and fierce, like a famous sword that exudes cold air.

An Ning broke down in a cold sweat. He wanted to squeeze out a nonchalant smile, but when he met Anji’s eyes, it was as if he was being grabbed by the back of his neck. He was frozen in place and couldn’t move.

“Do you want me to perform for you?” An Ji grabbed the silver fork from the table and said coldly, “Would you like to experience gouging out your eyes, dismembering, or getting your head off?”
