Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 1006
After walking for another dozens of meters, she came to the entrance of the villa.
Anthea felt a little reluctant, but when she thought of her grandpa, who had always been kind to her, she pinched the belt of her bag and walked in.
When she came in, she found that the villa was very busy today. There were several luxury cars parked in the yard, among which was the military green jeep that just passed by her. Because of the military sign, it was very eye-catching.
As soon as she entered the door, an old housekeeper came up to her with slippers. "Anthea, your grandpa has been waiting for you!"
"Is Grandpa in the room?" Anthea asked very politely.
"Yes!" The old housekeeper nodded, and then continued, "Today is the death anniversary of Madam Jiles. There are many relatives of Madam Jiles coming. They are ready to go to the cemetery, but your grandpa refused to leave and said that he would wait for you to come!"
It specifically indicated her family name there, which actually referred to Master Hsu's second wife.
Master Hsu's original wife was Anthea's grandma. After giving birth to her son, Hendrix, she died of an illness in less than two years. After all, Master Hsu was still very young at that time. It was impossible for him to grow old alone. So when his son grew up, he got married again.
After Madam Jiles married into the family, she soon added another child to the Hsu family. She gave birth to her daughter, Rory, and gave birth to the younger son, Jayden, the next year.
As the only daughter, she was very loved by the Hsu family. It was said that they also found a good husband for her. She got married two years ago. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and she died for an air crash three months after the marriage.
Anthea answered in a low voice, "I see. I'm going to replace grandpa now!"
After that, she put on her slippers and went upstairs.
Along the way, Anthea kept her eyes down. She looked very calm and didn't look at either side. Even though she was already in the Hsu family now, she was still the one who wasn't recognized here.
But she didn't know if it was her illusion. When she stepped on the stairs, she always felt some cold sight on her back, as if there was a pair of eyes staring at her.
She walked to the second floor. The innermost room was Master Hsu's.
The door is open. She raised her hand and knocked on it, and shouted sweetly to the inside, "Grandpa!"
Hearing this, the old man, who was sitting on the old-fashioned wooden armchair with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes and smiled. "Anthea, you finally come. If you don't come soon, I'll ask the old housekeeper to send a car to pick you up in the school!"
Although Master Hsu was over 60 years old, his waist was still straight and he was wearing a black Tai Chi costume. He had just retired this year after supporting the prosperity of the Hsu family these years, and a lot of silver hair had grown on his two temples. Compared with his high-spirit and vigorousness in the past, there was much more senility now.
"Grandpa, I see a lot of people downstairs..." Anthea said hesitantly.
Master Hsu nodded and explained, "Today is the Tomb Sweeping Festival, which is also your aunt's death anniversary. Let's go to sweep your aunt's tomb first and then go to your father's tomb later. Is that okay?"
Master Hsu had always doted on her. Before she was transferred to senior high school there, no
matter how busy he was, he would come back to the town every few months to see her. Even if he didn't have time, he would ask the driver to bring her to Ice city to eat and buy clothes. His love for her was beyond words.
Hearing her grandpa's flattering tone of negotiation, Anthea could not refuse him and could only nod in agreement.
The extended business car stopped at the cemetery, and Anthea silently followed Master Hsu.
Not only was there the car they used, but there were also many cars at the front and back one after another. At this time, all people in the cars came down. It was just that among these people, she almost didn' know any of them.
As for the complicated relationship of
the Hsu family, she could not figure it out and was not interested in it. Every time she showed up, it was only because of her grandpa.
However, before she could go further, the feeling of the cold sight on her back hit her again.
Anthea was a little scared, but she didn't dare to look back. She rubbed her arms and continued to move forward.
The Hsu family had a specially bought cemetery, which was independent. Moreover, at first glance, it could be seen that people often came to clean up the cemetery. There was not even any grass. Because of her special identity, Anthea stood in the corner at the back and waited.
Through the crowd, she could vaguely see the picture of the young woman on the tombstone. She was very beautiful and her smile was very gentle, but she could not squeeze out a sad expression like others. She really hadn't seen her before, so she couldn't get close with her.
However, she was quite sympathetic to Rory's husband's family, especially her husband. His newlywed wife died. He lost his wife at such a young age. It was said that he had never been married again... Finally, it was over. The silent crowd looked up and turned around.
Anthea stood where she was, waiting meekly for Master Hsu to come over to replace her.
His footsteps came closer and closer. Other than Master Hsu's Tai Chi costume, there seemed to be a pair of military boots in her line of sight. She frowned and continued maintaining that posture. "Adam, I heard that you have a mission in the Ice city recently. If you have time, come to visit home more often. After all, we are a family!" "Okay, I will."
"I have to see my eldest son. I'll talk to you when I get home later!"
"All right."
Anthea listened casually, feeling that the owner of the military boots was a man of few words.
However, why did it sound so familiar...
Master Hsu had already walked up to her. He suddenly thought of something and quickly said with a smile, "By the way! You haven't seen this child yet. Let me introduce her to you. She is my eldest son's daughter. Her name is Anthea!"
Hearing that she was called, Anthea had to raise her head politely, no matter how reluctant she was.
Along the pair of military boots, there were two long legs wrapped in camouflage training uniforms, and then the right hand that was half inserted in the pocket and that seemed to be injured and wrapped in thick gauze. Even so, the outline of the hand was very good-looking. The joints were prominent, and the fingers were slender and full of strength.
As she looked up, she saw a pair of well-built chest muscles, broad shoulders, and cleanly trimmed hair. He had a serious expression on his face and a pair of dark eyes that were sunken deep under his eyelids.
After Anthea saw him clearly, her pupils suddenly dilated.
"What the f*ck?"
Ah...
The image in the bar a week ago replayed in her mind, took her by surprise.
Anthea was petrified on the spot. She quickly lowered her eyes and it seemed that a small flying insect slipped into in her ears, which kept buzzing all the time.
Who was she...
Where was she...
What was she going to do...
"Anthea, this is your aunt's husband!"
Master Hsu introduced with a smile. Seeing her stayed there silently, he hurriedly urged her, "Why are you stupid there, sweetie. Greet your uncle!"
Anthea raised her head reluctantly. Her sight met with the cold and indifferent gaze of the man.
Her heart was like holding a frog, ready to jump out at any time.
She licked her lips, and it took her a long time to regain her voice. She stuttered, "uncle..."
