A man with an upright posture stood outside the door, his hair, with a few strands of silver, neatly combed back.

An Ying thought for a moment, then hesitated and asked, "Butler Zhao?"

Butler Zhao is the butler of the Fu family's old mansion. In his youth, he was also Old Master Fu's personal bodyguard and has always been loyal to the Fu family.

Butler Zhao nodded and smiled politely: "Miss An, Mr. Fu invites you in."

An Ying looked puzzled: "Grandpa wanted to see me about something?"

Over the years, Grandpa Fu has never taken the initiative to contact her.

I guess it’s not a good thing.

Butler Zhao maintained his polite smile: "You'll find out when you get there."

He didn't say another word.

An Ying followed Butler Zhao into Old Master Fu's car.

The unlicensed taxi drove away from the city center and headed towards Shengyang Mountain on the outskirts of the city.

An hour later, we arrived at the large iron gate at the entrance to the Fu family's residence.

The butler, Zhao, spoke into the Bluetooth headset from the driver's seat, and the black iron gate in front of them slowly opened.

The Fu family's villa is so large that people have to use electric vehicles to get around.

An Ying remembers when she was twelve years old, she came to the Fu family for the first time and initially thought she had entered some kind of tourist attraction.

At that time, An Xiaoxiao and Xu Mei couldn't contain their excitement. They kept discussing asking An Weiping about the Fu family, how many people there were, whether it was easy to get close to them, how many nephews they had, and whether they were handsome.

An Ying sat to the side, remaining silent.

In the eyes of a twelve-year-old, this kind of house should only appear in TV dramas.

I've never seen anything like this before.

So this is what the grandeur of top-tier wealthy families is like.

Previously in the southern part of the city, An Weiping lived with Xu Mei and An Xiaoxiao in a cramped apartment of less than 100 square meters in the city center.

That house was originally left to An Ying's mother by her maternal grandparents. After her grandparents passed away, their will clearly stated that it was left to An Ying's mother and had nothing to do with An Weiping.

After her mother passed away, Xu Mei brazenly moved into the master bedroom as the mistress of the house.

An Xiaoxiao moved into An Ying's bedroom.

That cozy bedroom that her mother had personally decorated for her before she passed away.

A few days later, Xu Mei, feeling it was bad luck, threw away all the things An Ying's mother had used before.

An Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to throw away a lot of An Ying's personal belongings in her bedroom.

An Ying was furious and went to argue with her father, telling him and her mother not to leave her things lying around. As a result, her father scolded her.

An Ying thought it was just a misunderstanding on her father's part.

An Xiaoxiao and An Ying stayed together for a few days, but An Ying complained that the room was too cramped.

One day, An Ying discovered that a tattered dance dress had been stuffed into her blanket.

At this moment, An Xiaoxiao rushed into the room with An Weiping and Xu Mei, complaining that her sister had bullied her and deliberately tore up her dance dress.

An Ying stared blankly at the scene, holding her tattered dance dress.

She never imagined that she could be framed in her own home.

The little princess who was once cherished by her mother is now treated like a weed.

No matter how An Ying explained, An Weiping just wouldn't believe her.

Not only did he scold An Ying without distinguishing right from wrong, but at Xu Mei's instigation, he also forced her to live in the storage room.

Then An Xiaoxiao naturally took over that bedroom.

An Ying gradually realized that her father didn't seem to love her at all.

After her mother passed away, the only person in the world who loved her disappeared.

Later, An Weiping returned to Beicheng to seek refuge with the Fu family. Although the process was tortuous, in the end, Old Master Fu still allocated a few rooms in the old house.

The rooms in the Fu residence were spacious and comfortable, and An Ying no longer had to live in that small storage room.

However, she no longer had any attachment to her biological father who gave her life and raised her.

It was from this moment that she began to build a high protective wall in her heart.

Having experienced the coldness and warmth of human relationships since childhood, An Ying always maintained a cold and distant attitude towards the unfamiliar Fu family.

An Ying didn't linger in the large room the Fu family had given her. Instead, she applied to the boarding school of a top-tier junior high school, received a scholarship in high school, and also worked part-time.

I basically never spent any time in that mansion.

Butler Zhao parked the car and turned to the back seat, saying, "Miss An, we've arrived."

An Ying nodded, unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car.

Butler Zhao watched An Ying's figure until she disappeared behind the bronze door, then slowly took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

"Young Master, have you returned to the North City?"

Fu Chengli had just stepped out of the VIP passage at Beicheng Airport: "Just got off the plane, Uncle Zhao is looking for me?"

Butler Zhao: "The old man suddenly returned from his vacation villa in Haicheng, saying he wanted to see An Ying. The two from Fourth Brother's family were also there. The old man didn't look well, so it probably wasn't anything good."

Fu Chengli lowered his gaze slightly and said calmly, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Secretary Chen drove the car over and parked it on the side of the road. Fu Chengli got into the back seat and said in a deep voice, "Go to the Fu residence."

Secretary Chen: "Okay."

-

Following the nanny's directions, An Ying went up the stairs to the second-floor reception room.

Pushing open the door, I didn't see Old Master Fu.

But then they saw An Weiping, Xu Mei, and An Xiaoxiao.

An Xiaoxiao sat in a corner of the sofa, tears streaming down her face, sobbing uncontrollably. Xu Mei patted her back comfortingly.

An Weiping also looked unhappy.

An Ying frowned slightly: What kind of show are these three drama queens putting on now?

She smiled and said, "What's bothering you? Tell me so I can cheer you up."

These words instantly ignited An Weiping's passion.

He suddenly grabbed the glass teacup beside him and threw it at An Ying, shouting angrily, "Unfilial daughter!"

An Ying dodged to the side.

The expensive glass was smashed against the wall.

Glass shards were scattered all over the floor.

An Weiping looked at him with a disappointed expression: "Look what you've done to your sister!"

An Ying kicked away the shards of glass at her feet and sat down in the leather rocking chair.

Seeing the three dramatic characters looking so worried, she immediately felt refreshed.

The smile doesn’t disappear, it just shifts.

An Xiaoxiao hid behind her father and chuckled when she recalled the time her father had forced her to live in the storage room.

Now the people who cry and the people who laugh have switched places.

An Ying unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"What's wrong? Are you being childish?"
