Chapter 1629: Chapter 360: Everyone Gathers Together (Ten-Thousand-Word Update) (Part 5)
An Yiqing didn’t speak, and another slap landed on the back of Peng Ze’s head.
"Why are you hitting
again, woman?!" Peng Ze raised his head abruptly, staring at An Yiqing with grievance.
"Why are you so stubborn, you little brat?" An Yiqing rolled her eyes, "Your grandparents wish for your lifelong peace, just as you hope they live to a ripe old age! Let
ask you, if one day your grandparents and parents can no longer provide you with a privileged life and status, would you feel they’ve embarrassed you?"
"Of course not! A real man relies on himself! What’s the use of depending on elders!" Peng Ze retorted imdiately, full of confidence despite his young age.
"Exactly! You won’t think they’ve embarrassed you, so why do you think being like this would embarrass them?! A real man, no matter how handso, must beco strong to protect his family. That’s the way! Living a life like your grandpa is not in vain!"
Peng Ze looked at An Yiqing thoughtfully, then lowered his head. At that mont, it seed sothing sprouted in his heart and slowly grew into a towering tree.
When An Yiqing appeared with a smiling Peng Ze in front of Peng Shaohe and Duan Jingning, the always carefree Peng Shaohe suddenly had tears in his eyes.
"You brat, you finally decided to co out!" Peng Shaohe slapped Peng Ze’s shoulder and ruffled his hair vigorously. His old eyes glistened with unknown light, and his smile grew a bit more on his face.
Peng Ze cringed and rubbed his shoulder, rescuing his poor head from Peng Shaohe’s grasp, "Grandpa, Sister Xiao Qing took a lot of effort to style my hair and you ssed it up!"
Peng Shaohe was startled, glanced at An Yiqing, then at Peng Ze, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Well, this brat finally acknowledges this girl as his sister, huh?" Peng Shaohe laughed, giving An Yiqing a thumbs up, "Good job, little girl! This brat is quite stubborn, I’m impressed you managed to sort him out!"
An Yiqing smiled gently at Peng Shaohe, "Grandpa Peng, you’re too kind. This kid has a strong will; you don’t have to worry too much. Besides, with the dicine I prescribed, he’ll return to normal in six months."
Peng Shaohe looked at An Yiqing gratefully and nodded, "You’re a lucky star for the Peng Family! Co, let
introduce you to Peng Ze’s parents!"
An Yiqing happily agreed and followed Peng Shaohe’s steps.
Peng Ze’s parents were very kind. They had always wanted to et the Divine Doctor who could heal their son. Even though they were sowhat prepared, they were still shocked by how young An Yiqing was. However, being the children of King Xinsheng, their capabilities and horizons were incomparable to ordinary people, and they quickly accepted An Yiqing’s identity, becoming quite friendly with her.
An Yiqing and Peng Ze had chatted for quite so ti; it was already past seven-thirty, and more people were gradually gathering in the banquet hall. Peng Ze’s parents apologized to An Yiqing before excusing themselves to the front door to greet the guests. anwhile, Peng Shaohe, as the organizer of the banquet, was enjoying himself and warmly chatting with everyone.
"Huh? Sothing seems a bit odd!" Suddenly, Zhang Yuksheng, who was standing behind An Yiqing, muttered inexplicably.
"What’s up, Brother Zhang?" Hua Yun asked in confusion.
Zhang Yuksheng glanced around, "Xiao Yun, haven’t you noticed there are many unfamiliar faces at the banquet tonight?"
Hua Yun looked around but found nothing unusual, shaking her head.
"I deliberately paid attention this afternoon and collected information on those attending the Country Fei Public Disk. While I can’t rember everyone by heart, I can recall at least seventy to eighty percent. However, tonight at the banquet, there’s a small portion I’ve never seen before."
Zhang Yuksheng was very confident in his mory, and while he couldn’t achieve An Yiqing’s photographic mory, he would have so impression of the people he’d seen. He had particularly noted the people in the auction during the day and had a general understanding of them. Yet now, there was a small portion attending the banquet whom he had never seen at all.
The banquet hosted by Peng Shaohe wouldn’t invite just anyone, and attending the Country Fei Public Disk required a certain status, so many familiar faces from the day didn’t show up; this was normal. But where did those unfamiliar faces co from?
