C63 Heirs (1/2)
Mei Chuanqi turned around with the child in his arms and saw a man wearing a white suit and a white mask with long flaxen hair tied into a ponytail stood behind him. Mei Chuanqi then took the child in his hands very casually, ”Chuanqi, congratulations on getting out of jail.”
Mei Chuanqi smiled sincerely, ”Uncle Ang, long time no see.”
The Uncle Ang he called out was his teacher, Ang Si, who had trained him back then, and was also the ancestor's personal bodyguard. It was said that he had followed the ancestor for more than two hundred years, and was extremely loyal to the ancestor.
To him, Ang Si was just like his other father. Other than seriously teaching him, he also gave him care and warmth from his own father. As a result, the two of them were like father and son, very close.
On top of Ang Si's ice-cold mask, Mei Ri gave a kiss: ”Grandpa An, good!”
”Weiwei, good.” Ang Si smiled as he handed Weiwei a candy. After that, he said while looking at Mei Chuanqi: ”Since you've not seen me for a long time, why don't you come and see me after you're out of jail?”
As he spoke, there was no complaint in his tone.
Mei Chuanqi laughed: ”Didn't I come to see you now?”
He did not immediately rush over to see Ang Si, because Ang Si had always been by the Old Ancestor's side everyday. When he came to see Ang Si, he would definitely meet the Old Ancestor. However, with his current situation, he had no face to meet the old ancestor.
Ang Si looked to Mei Chuanqi's side and asked doubtfully: ”Why are you not seeing Yunqing?”
Mei Chuanqi looked at his son who was in Ang Si's embrace. ”She's not feeling well, he's resting at home.”
With that, he received the disdainful gaze from his son.
Ang Si did not doubt him: ”Come, come with me to see Master.”
He carried the child into the villa.
Mei Chuanqi hesitated for a moment, before following behind Ang Si.
Inside the main hall, the juniors of Mei Family lined up to present their birthday presents to the elders in the main seats, their mouths full of auspicious birthday presents.
The elder on the main seat was dressed in a black suit with a gold dragon embroidered on it. He had handsome facial features, and his eyes were sharp and strict. With just a slight sweep of his gaze, he had already made the legs of the younger generation tremble.
Mei Feichen expressionlessly looked at the juniors sending him his congratulatory gift and heard from the juniors. An impatient look flashed past his eyes as he looked towards the gate. When he saw the figure of a person walking in through the gate, an unfathomable ray of light flashed past his calm, waveless eyes.
The moment Mei Chuanqi entered, he saw Mei Feichen sitting on the sofa in the center of the hall. Behind him, there were ten guards dressed in the same attire as Ang Si.
There were nearly a thousand guards like that by Mei Feichen's side, and normally, all of them were wearing masks and did not reveal their true forms. Even the Ang Si who was closest to him, he had never seen his true appearance before.
The juniors who were congratulating the Old Ancestor on his birthday realized that the Old Ancestor had been staring at the door. They turned around, and saw Ang Si walking over with Mei Chuanqi in his arms, while leading Mei Chuanqi around.
Everyone's expression changed as they started to whisper to each other.
”His skin is really thick, making all his Mei Family lose face, and he still has the nerve to come and congratulate the Old Ancestor.”
”How could there be someone like him in our Mei Family? Putting aside the matter of running away from the battlefield, no matter which one it is, neither of our genes or our body strength meet the standards of our Mei Family. If it wasn't for the fact that his appearance is similar to the Patriarch, General Mei, I would almost suspect that General Mei carried the wrong child back then.”
Mei Chuanqi acted as if he did not hear everyone's whispers, and his gaze directly met Mei Feichen's, causing his mood to immediately become extremely complicated.
When a person with Mei Family faced Mei Feichen, they would only feel reverence, but he was different. In front of Mei Feichen, there was even a hint of unwillingness, and their minds were filled with thoughts of surpassing this person.
Even if his genetic fitness could not compare to Mei Feichen, as long as he saw this person, his determination to surpass him would increase every single time. He did not want Mei Feichen to look down on him, even if he had already fallen to the status of a deserter.
Mei Chuanqi came before Mei Feichen while holding his birthday present, ”Wishing the old ancestor luck as great as the East Sea, his life as long as Nanshan. ”Year after year, there is today. Year after year, there is today.”
With that, he immediately prepared himself and accepted the scorn and ridicule from the Old Ancestor.
Mei Feichen stared at him for a long while before personally receiving the gift. Then he said indifferently: ”Stay here for lunch at noon.”
Surprise flashed past Mei Chuanqi's eyes.
In the past, whenever Mei Feichen saw him, he would either ignore his existence or give him a hard time.
But now, not only did Mei Feichen personally receive the birthday present, he didn't even say anything unpleasant to hear, nor did he reveal a look full of contempt.
