Chapter 347: 347 – Does This Kind of Father-Son Relationship Exist?
Those who didn’t know any better might think they’d returned to the city they were in during the last life!
AnRan seemed to be accustomed to such treatment, just waved her hand impatiently, and then led Jiang Xiaobai in with a displeased look on her face. After entering the mansion, Uncle Fu disappeared.
Just like a shadow, coming and going without a trace!
Jiang Xiaobai was suddenly curious, “Uncle Fu only has the power of the late-stage of unification, how did he vanish like a shadow?”
“Heh heh, boss, you wouldn’t know, would you?”
AnRan suddenly laughed, “Uncle Fu is actually my mother’s butler. He has been following her since she got married. The reason why Uncle Fu is so powerful has to do with factors from my maternal home.”
“I’ll leave you in suspense for now, and tell you what’s going on later.”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, didn’t say much, and unknowingly followed AnRan into a grand hall, where a man and a woman were sitting in high seats.
The man was tall and thin, with a very serious face, while the beautiful woman next to him was full of tenderness. She was clearly a devoted wife and mother.
Seeing that AnRan had arrived, a look of gratification and longing briefly flitted across their faces.
“You remembered to come back?” An Wujun scolded AnRan sternly.
However, AnRan simply ignored him. After she asked Jiang Xiaobai to sit down, she casually sat down herself, one of her feet still resting on the arm of the chair.
This act almost made An Wujun’s eyes pop out, and it looked like smoke was coming out of his head.
He was clearly angered!
“You brat, have you completely lost your manners? You haven’t seen your parents for over two months, and the first thing you do when you return to Wuyang City is not coming home, but going out to eat, drink and have fun?”
“Do you still regard your father with any respect?”
AnRan carelessly replied, “Old man, it’s already quite something that I came back to see you. Don’t be ungrateful.”
“I’m warning you, if you provoke me any further, I might just leave. It’s not like I have nowhere else to go.”
Splutter!
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai, who was drinking tea, spit it out, almost choking on it.
Good heavens, could there possibly be such a way for father and son to interact in this world?
Noting Jiang Xiaobai’s embarrassment, AnRan gave another fake cough, “Alright, old man, we have a distinguished guest here. You’re being too arrogant. Today, I’ll let you have your way.”
“You, you, you!”
An Wujun pointed at AnRan, shaking with anger.
At this point, the beautiful woman next to them swiftly interjected with a soft laugh, “Enough, dear. Our son just returned, why are you losing your temper?”
“I’m losing my temper? You’re not even looking at what this brat is like. Does he even have any respect for me as his father anymore, is he rebelling?” An Wujun retorted angrily.
However, the beautiful woman’s face pulled down, “An Wujun, that’s enough. We have a guest!”
To everyone’s surprise, An Wujun, who always seemed very stern and authoritative in family matters, immediately backed down when he saw his wife’s expression, and didn’t utter another word.
Jiang Xiaobai was bemused.
My goodness, what an interesting family.
“Don’t take it to heart, young man. This is just how these two usually interact,” the beautiful woman said, laughing as she nodded at Jiang Xiaobai, “May I ask your name?”
“I am Jiang Xiaobai.”
After some thought, Jiang Xiaobai decided to use his real name and also removed the disguise from his face.
After all, this was Wuyang City, the domain of Northwest the An Family. It was impossible for anything to happen within the city without their knowledge. They must also be aware of AnRan’s circumstances.
Under such conditions, there was no point in hiding, so it was better to be forthright.
Sure enough, a satisfied look flashed in the beautiful woman’s eyes, “Ah, so you’re that Jiang Xiaobai who’s stirred up such a commotion in the Middle State in the Eastern Region?”
“Madame flatters me!”
“Oh? Why are you calling me ‘Madame’? There’s no need for such formality. You’re already like a big brother to my son AnRan, so just call me Auntie.”
The beautiful woman said kindly, “Very good, very good. To have accomplished so much at such a young age, your future achievements will be immeasurable. It really is a tremendous stroke of luck for AnRan to have met you!”
“Heh heh, mother, you’re absolutely right. If it weren’t for the boss, it would’ve been uncertain whether I could even come back this easily.”
AnRan readily agreed, her attitude toward her mother being entirely different from her attitude toward her father.
The beautiful woman glanced at AnRan, her eyes filled with affection, “You and your mouth, alright, you’ve brought a friend from far away, go and rest properly today.”
“I won’t ask any more questions for now, so you guys can go.”
After saying this, she dismissed AnRan and Jiang Xiaobai.
On the way, AnRan turned to Jiang Xiaobai and said with a smile, “So, boss, what do you think of my parents? Especially my mom, isn’t she awesome?”
“Not bad. Her aura is mysterious, and her strength is very high. Even though she’s only at the peak of the late stage of Fusion, I think she’s almost at the point of Tribulation,” Jiang Xiaobai said analytically.
AnRan curled her lip, “That’s not what I mean. I’m saying, my mom can control my dad like that, isn’t that impressive?”
Jiang Xiaobai was speechless for a moment.
Are you kidding me? Isn’t this just how a husband who dotes on his wife behaves?
It’s just like him and Ao Yan. Even though there’s a huge gap between their realms and backgrounds, Jiang Xiaobai wouldn’t feel any pressure at all.
He was definitely not an asthmatic patient!
After the two left the hall laughing and joking, the beautiful woman’s face gradually became solemn.
“It seems that there will be turbulence in the near future.”
“Dear, what do you think of this Jiang Xiaobai?”
The beautiful woman turned to An Wujun.
An Wujun squinted his eyes, “This young man is like a dragon in a pond, destined to soar to the sky one day.”
“Involvement with the Dragon Valley, his own monstrous talent, and having a Tribulation stage expert as patron, he’s exceptional.”
The beautiful woman nodded, “So, dear, do you think he came back this time to ask the Mu family for help?”
“If he really plans to go to the Northern State this time, there might be a chance. Madam, in my view, this is our opportunity.”
Mu Qingyu also squinted slightly, “The opportunity is there, but the ancient clan is not easy to deal with.”
The Hai Xianzong is now backing the ancient clan, to deal with the ancient clan means dealing with the Hai Xianzong, such a transcendent force.
“We need to be careful.”
Mu Qingyu muttered, “We’ll have to see the situation. By the way, dear, what about the key matter, any success?”
“Yes, we’ve already sent people to get the key. After so much effort, we finally got the second key. The only thing is, we don’t know where the last key is.”
“Before, I heard that the three Black Demon brothers seemed to be looking for that key, but there has been no news in recent months.”
“We must proceed in secret, there are too many people eyeing this key.”
An Wujun looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the hall, his expression extremely somber.
