Chapter 431 “Birthday Storm (1)”
“Chief of the An House has arrived!”
Under the complimenting voice of the people, this high-pitched
announcing sound clearly had a resonating effect on the guests because
all had got silent. The mood was totally different from a second ago
where laughter and chattery was abundant.
It’s no secret that the relations.h.i.+p between both families were not
close at all, compounding the fact that w.a.n.g Xiaopeng had beat An Xiang
Ran several years ago, it’s more fitting to say their stances are that
of enemies than friends.
So, imagine the surprise in everyone’s mind to hear the An family’s
chief coming in person to the birthday banquet. Turning their heads, all
attention was now placed onto the peachy boy and his uncle.
While An Xiang Ran didn’t give a
hoot about the extra eyes coming his way, his uncle didn’t think the
same, especially when he finally saw w.a.n.g Xiaopeng stuffing his face on
the dining table.
“Chief An, what a pleasure to have you come.” Coming out from his
initial shock, the senior and host for the day hurried to step forward
in open arms for the unexpected guest.
“Ahumph,” issuing a dry cough to clear his throat, An Zhen Ning
subconsciously swept his eyes to the side where his excited nephew
stood, “I am here with my nephew to show him the ways and to bring a
congratulatory gift as well.”
After saying that, he was about to let the servants bring in the said
gifts
; however, his nephew An Xiang Ran had beat him to the punch by rus.h.i.+ng ahead for the main dining hall….

Like any careless dote who didn’t pay attention to his own speed, it
didn’t take much for the peachy boy to trip over something. Cras.h.i.+ng
hard to the floor, the delicate box inside the kid’s sleeve had rolled
forward, revealing the contents inside with its red radiance.
“Xiang Ran!”
Scared to the point of losing his spirit, An Zhen Ning could no
longer care about the gift-giving. Running over himself, he hurries to
check on the boy’s welfare.
“My boy, how are you, did you get hurt anywhere?” The man’s face was full of tension and worry.
“I am fine.” Shaking his head, the peachy boy was just ready to pick
back up the box when something unexpected occurred – an unknown hand had
s.n.a.t.c.hed it away from him first!
“Gee, your An House is too
polite, giving us such valuable gifts. I will go ahead and collect it
first for my father.” Grinning right up to his eyes, w.a.n.g Deyi’s ugly
smug could only be called an eyesore.
How unexpected for them to use the Dragon Fruit as a gift. If it
was normally then we would have no choice, but now…. Haha, the Medicine
Sect’s elder will be here soon!
“w.a.n.g’s family Old Three,” An Zhen Ning’s complexion got dark, “This
Dragon Fruit belongs to my nephew and not a gift, please return it to
us.”
He’s already being quite polite there. If was his father instead, the old pops would’ve directly taken action already.
“Chief An, a gift that is already sent cannot be returned, don’t you
know any manners?” w.a.n.g Deyi’s face was very shameless there, showing
every intent to steal the fruit from its owner.
Naturally the people here today wouldn’t miss the odd behavior.
Lowering their voices into a whisper, the discussions could only be
called humiliating for the host.
“What are you doing Old Three? Hurry and return the Dragon Fruit this
instant!” The grandpa roars, embarra.s.sed to the point of wanting to dig
a hole and hide in it.
