Chapter 834: Bloodline Affinity (2)
However, for the first time today, An Ping did not directly defend her. When her eyes met the old madam’s gaze, her gaze once again fell on the direction that the old madam was blocking behind her.
“Mom…” Anxin whispered from behind her,”It’s fine if Grandpa likes to talk about me at home, but now that there’s an outsider at home, he’s actually talking about me like this. He doesn’t even consider my face…”
When An Ping heard the voice behind her, her gaze slowly shifted back to the angry Old Master An.” Dad, Anxin promised last month that she would go to Paris with a few friends, but she had to accompany me to Los Angeles for medical treatment because I wasn’t feeling well. She was delayed for so long, and she just wanted to fly to Paris as soon as possible today. The delay in the middle is all because of me. I’m not spotting her, but she promised me, so I planned to fly to Paris with her today.”
“Then go ahead. Why did you come back? You all stay outside and don’t come back! At least my family can still be quiet!””Anxin, this child, is acting so lawless just because she’s the granddaughter of our family. Does she really think she’s a young lady from a rich family?” Grandpa Shen said with an ugly expression. Eight years ago, when you were just brought back, you would nod and greet me carefully when you saw me. You didn’t even dare to call me grandpa. At that time, you were sensitive and careful in every way. Later on, you gradually adapted to the life of the An family and became more and more like a young miss.
Are you tired of the new clothes you bought this year? You want to buy a few limited edition models to show off at your orphanage after the show?”
Anxin’s face turned red and then white, but she kept glancing in Zuo Hancheng’s direction. When she saw that the man had also heard what Old Master An had said, she felt wronged and her eyes turned red.”Grandpa, I don’t have any.”
“Don’t call me Grandpa!” Old Master An suddenly stood up and said,” The more I look at you, the angrier I get. Look at what you’re wearing! “You dress like a socialite every day to make others think that the An family really has a granddaughter like you. You don’t even tell others that you’re adopted. You flaunt your family background everywhere. If you have a conscience, even if you take out the money from a set of clothes to buy some food for the children at the orphanage that adopted you, you don’t take a single cent from the orphanage other than showing off occasionally. She even bought kittens and puppies every day and posted them on the Internet to show her love! Do you really think I don’t know anything?!”
An Xin’s expression instantly stiffened. When An Ping suddenly turned around to look at her, her eyes instantly turned red as she said,”I didn’t…Mom, I really didn’t…The last time I went back to the orphanage, it was my friends and children there who picked up a few stray cats and dogs. When I went to visit them, they gave those little animals to me, so I brought them home to raise them. Taking photos and posting them online is just a habit. I don’t have the intention of showing off or showing off my love…”
As soon as Anxin said that, a soft meow suddenly came from outside the dining room. The kitten seemed to have heard Anxin’s voice and quickly ran over. After running into the dining room, it went straight to Anxin’s legs.
Matriarch Lin’s gaze followed Anxin’s awkward expression. She had heard that Anxin had adopted some small animals, but she had never come out to see them. Now that she saw the cat that was standing beside Anxin’s legs, Matriarch Lin’s gaze darkened. At the same time, she sighed softly, so softly that no one could hear her.
“This is the first time I’ve heard that such an expensive Bengal Bengal cat would end up on the streets as a stray animal.”Zuo Hancheng’s words came out of nowhere, but his icy cold voice instantly made An Xin’s blood freeze as she looked at the handsome man who looked like a god.
Anhao had never raised a cat before, nor had she ever understood the breeds of cats and dogs. After all, the environment she grew up in did not allow her to even have the space to pity herself. How could she have the mood to show love to those cute little animals? Therefore, these cats and dogs were only good-looking and ungood-looking in her eyes.
As the old madam had been blocking her way, she could only turn her head slightly. She could not see Anping and Anxin, but she could see the cat beside Anxin’s legs. It was indeed unique in appearance. It was the type of cat that was rarely seen, but it was very beautiful.
“What kind of cat is a Bengal Bengal cat?” After hearing Zuo Hancheng’s words, Old Master An turned to look at him with a questioning look in his eyes.”I do know that the prices of those kittens and puppies that young people like are getting more and more expensive.”
Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else after he blurted out those words.
When the old man suddenly asked him, Zuo Hancheng’s dark eyes were filled with a smile and coldness. His deep and cool voice rang out,””I don’t really know much about these small animals, but coincidentally, my sister Zuo Yue liked to raise cats when she was young.”
Zuo Hancheng spoke in a low voice. His voice was cold and slow. His calm but slightly domineering voice made An Xin’s face filled with shock and anxiety.
“Bengal Bengal cats are a very unique breed. Their ancestors are a hybrid of Asian leopard cats and Egyptian domestic cats. This breed was recognized by the TICO International Cat Association in 1984. The cat beside Miss An was definitely a fourth-generation Asian leopard cat. Such a cat would cost between 10,000 to 40,000 US dollars.”
Anhao stared at the cat again.
Between ten thousand to forty thousand dollars? That would be between 60,000 to 250,000 RMB!
Even a cat was so expensive. This Anxin was even more dignified than a pure young lady from a wealthy family!
The moment she heard the price, An Xin’s expression could no longer be described as stiff and aggrieved. She did not know who that man was, but since he was treated as a VIP by her grandfather, he was definitely not a simple person. Now that she was in an inexplicable awkward situation, she did not dare to argue too loudly and make the old man even more disgusted.
“Don’t worry. If you like these small animals, you can just say that you bought them yourself. How can you use the excuse of adopting stray cats to fool us?”The old madam, who had been silent all this while, could not stand it anymore. However, in order to ease the atmosphere, she could only ask her a question before Old Master An continued to fly into a rage.
An Ping had never paid attention to these things because of the old madam’s questioning. At this moment, she also looked behind her with a wronged expression.”Did you adopt this cat from the orphanage, or did you buy it?”
