“I hope you can remain so assertive when the time comes,”
Having said that, An Meng turned and left.
An Yan said, “That’s my cousin, she has always been sharp-tongued. Don’t mind her.”
Then An Yan led Xue An into the banquet hall.
At this moment, the banquet hall was already filled with people from the various noble families of Zhongdu, bustling with activity.
Once An Yan walked in with Xue An, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.
These people whispered among themselves from a distance.
“Isn’t that the An Family’s young miss? Who’s that man beside her?”
“I heard the An Family’s young miss has a boyfriend at school? Maybe that’s him, but why is he dressed like a country bumpkin!”
“Hehe, look at that hairstyle, it’s so funny!”
“My God, he dares to wear such trashy suits? He’s really not afraid of losing face.”
All these critical comments reached Xue An’s ears.
He stood there feeling extremely awkward, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
At that moment, An Yan gently took his hand and gave him a comforting smile.
Xue An took a deep breath, feeling the warmth from An Yan’s palm, and slowly calmed down.
Just then,
the doors to the An Family’s inner residence opened, and Jin Xiurong, the matriarch who had held the reins of the An Family for decades, was escorted in.
Upon seeing the elegantly dressed elderly lady, people in the banquet hall promptly stood up to greet her.
“We wish the grandmother happiness as vast as the East Sea and longevity as enduring as the southern mountains!”
“What fortune for the grandmother!”
Sounds of well-wishes rose and fell in the hall.
The matriarch, Jin Xiurong, smiled and nodded repeatedly.
But when her gaze fell on An Yan and Xue An not far away, the smile on her face turned cold.
Especially when she saw the hands that An Yan and Xue An held together, her eyelids twitched several times.
Soon,
the matriarch took her seat at the head of the hall.
What followed was a procession of the younger members of the An Family presenting her with birthday gifts.
An Meng was the first to dash forward, presenting a finely carved Hetian jade sculpture. The craftsmanship was exquisite, the materials choicely selected, and featured a longevity peach, symbolizing good fortune.
Jin Xiurong nodded with satisfaction, “Meng’er is thoughtful!”
“Hehe, it’s my duty as your granddaughter to celebrate your birthday,” she said, and then she glanced at An Yan in a provocative manner.
An Yan took a deep breath and, leading Xue An, stepped forward, “Grandma! This is my boyfriend, Xue An. These are the gifts he specifically purchased for you, wishing you health and longevity!” With that, the gifts bought by An Yan and Xue An were placed in front of everyone.
Although they were all exquisite luxury items, they fell far short of the Hetian jade sculpture presented by An Meng.
An Yan gave Xue An a look, and with a shudder, he finally snapped out of his confusion. Stepping forward, he bowed deeply and said, “The younger generation Xue An wishes the grandmother good fortune and health!”
There was no response.
Jin Xiurong, the elderly Mrs. Jin, settled back in the Taishi Chair, her face as still as water, quietly sipping her tea.
The atmosphere descended into an awkward silence.
Many people in the audience began to whisper to one another.
An Meng revealed a hint of a cold smile.
