Chapter 554
He seems to have been a heavy smoker lately.
When she saw him, he was smoking most of the time.
As she approached, he stubbed out the cigarette and looked at her.
"Brother."
"An Sheng, don't call me big brother from now on. If you really think of me as your big brother, then you wouldn't do this."
An Sheng lowered her eyes. "I was afraid that you would get angry, so I did that."
"You clearly know that we will be angry, but you still dare to do that?" Ling Guansheng's eyes turned sharp: "Are you afraid of being associated with Ling Family, or with me? "Hmm?"
An Sheng said guiltily, "I was thinking that since I want to marry Kang Muzhi, then I should marry him myself, without any property. I really hope that my future will depend on myself, not my family."
"Who allowed you to marry him? "Who agreed?" Ling Guansheng raised his voice by a few decibels.
He took both her shoulders in his hands and pressed her against the wall.
Her heart was nervous as she looked at him, saying somewhat anxiously, "Brother, don't be like this."
"Sheng'er, you're me ?? I have no way of accepting your marriage to Kang Muzhi. As I said before, either you marry Xie Zhuo, or you live a peaceful life in South City, you choose yourself. "
An Sheng didn't dare look at him. "I want to live the life I want."
He pulled her into his embrace. "Don't go, okay? I promise you, as long as you stay, everyone in Ling Family will stay away from you. It's enough as long as you occasionally come back to visit us.
An Sheng clenched her fists tightly. She did not struggle, nor did she respond.
After a long while, Ling Guansheng let go of her and looked at her lowered eyelids.
He smiled bitterly, "It seems that you have really hardened your heart to follow him."
An Sheng was still silent.
Ling Guansheng said: "Do you think that as long as you are with him, Ling Family will not affect you anymore?"
An Sheng frowned slightly, letting him know that her guess was right.
Ling Guansheng said, "An Sheng, you probably forgot that I, Ling Guansheng, am someone who would do anything to achieve my goal."
An Sheng raised her gaze and looked at him.
Ling Guansheng took a step back. With a cold expression, he said, "If you insist, then wait and see. I want to see whether he wins or I win."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the villa.
An Sheng stood in a daze.
Less than five minutes later, Ling Guansheng's car drove out of the mansion and left in front of her.
She sat on the floor with her arms around her knees.
How could there be such a hateful life?
She clearly had countless bright paths in front of her to choose from.
However, everyone was forcing her to walk on a road that they clearly knew led to the abyss.
She just wanted to live a peaceful life. Why was it so difficult?
At this moment, her heart was cold.
She feebly returned to the house.
Standing in the living room, she could clearly hear her parents arguing in the bedroom.
Her father insisted that her mother had forced her to make such a decision.
However, her mother continued to cry out grievances, but her father did not believe it ??
Five years ago, in this house, such a life had been played out almost every day.
She didn't know if her family was a "home" or not.
She only knew that she wished for nothing more than to flee this "home" that everyone yearned for.
She hated it here, really hated it.
In the end, she didn't pay attention to their argument and directly went upstairs.
Experience told her that even if she did go, it would only make the argument more and more intense.
That night, her sleep was even more restless.
At night, she was woken up by nightmares. When she woke up, all she could think about was how Ling Guansheng looked at her when he left.
She was afraid.
She always felt that if she went against her brother's wishes, then in the future, her life would be completely different.
But if she continued to endure like this ?? She really couldn't do it.
Life wasn't long, nor was it short. She really didn't want to fail her one and only life.
The next morning, she came downstairs and greeted Ling Chenghao and Song Meiyi as usual.
Ling Chenghao didn't say anything. He was still angry at her.
Song Meiyi also treated her as a transparent person.
She was still holding a grudge against An Sheng because of the argument she had with Ling Chenghao last night.
This breakfast was surprisingly quiet.
After breakfast, Ling Chenghao is going to the company.
An Sheng stood up and said, "Dad, I'll go out with you in your car. I want to go out and buy some things."
Before Ling Chenghao could say anything, Song Meiyi said, "An Sheng, you stay behind for a while. Come with me."
The moment she opened her mouth, it attracted Ling Chenghao's attention.
Song Meiyi said coldly, "Don't worry, I won't throw your precious daughter out. I want to take her to meet a friend with me."
With that, she looked at An Sheng. "An Sheng, you won't object, will you?"
An Sheng tried her best to force out a smile. "Of course I'm not against it. Father, you go first. I'll go out with Mom in a while."
Just a few more days, she thought, as long as she got the household register.
Song Meiyi changed into a new set of clothes and followed her out the door.
On the way, An Sheng took out her cell phone to take a look.
Weird, why didn't Kang Muzhi call her today?
Should she give him a call?
After hesitating for a moment, she sent a message to Kang Muzhi, "I went out with my mom. Did you go to the company?"
She waited a few minutes, but there was no reply.
Seated at the side, Song Meiyi said coldly, "An Sheng, listen carefully. When you see my friend in a while, be careful when you speak. Don't act so arrogantly, hear me? "
An Sheng looked at her, wondering why she had brought her out to meet her friends.
This was the first time she had ever gone out with her.
"Okay," she answered silently, her face showing no expression.
Song Meiyi crossed her arms in front of her chest. "I have to admit, you're really strong. To think that you could make your father and brother treat me as an enemy in order to protect you."
"Mom, my dad and brother love you a lot."
"I don't need you to remind me of this. You just need to remember, the ones who raised you are me. You and your mother owe me a lot. That's enough."
An Sheng heaved a sigh inwardly and did not say a word.
Not long later, the car stopped in front of a hotel.
An Sheng followed Song Meiyi out of the car and into the hotel's coffee shop.
The two of them walked in. After Song Meiyi said her name, she was led to a table near the French window by a waiter.
There, a slightly chubby middle-aged man in his forties sat down.
Song Meiyi walked up and sat down. She said with a smile, "I'm sorry about self-study. My daughter and I came late. We've kept you waiting."
The man set his gaze on An Sheng.
After sizing her up, the man revealed a satisfied smile. "Not too late, not too late."
