Chapter 3 Ancestor

Everly was so angry at Eddie's words that she almost spat out blood. Ansley was an illegitimate daughter at the most, but she didn't understand why her grandfather was still on Ansley's side.

"Grandpa, what is wrong with you?" she roared at Eddie and ran upstairs, while wiping her tears.

Eddie wanted to stop her. But in the end, he withdrew his hand and sighed.

"Andres, Everly is so stubborn. But don't let her offend Ansley..." Before he could finish his words, Everly was about to make trouble again.

On her way upstairs, she saw that Ansley was standing at the stairs in a daze.

"Don't stand in my way. Get lost!" Her voice was sharp and harsh.

Hearing this, Ansley, who was struggling with which room to choose, turned to look at Everly. Actually, it was rare for her to size up a woman carefully.

Everly was a beautiful woman with exquisite features.

But her words just now only proved that she was a narrow-minded person.

"You are rude. It seems that you only bring shame to the Luo family. Or is the entire Luo family as ill-mannered as you?"

Everly was enraged upon hearing this.

"You... You bitch!" She then raised her hand and was about to slap Ansley.

But Ansley quickly grasped her wrist. Before she could react, she lost her balance and fell towards Ansley.

Ansley's ethereal voice rang out in her ear, "I'm not going to hurt you, but don't provoke me either. If I'm in a good mood, I may protect the Luo family. However, if you piss me off, I can take back all the things that you have now."

As soon as Ansley finished speaking, Everly felt that something had exploded in her brain. When she looked at Ansley, she only saw her receding figure.

Everly was in a trance for a while. But when Ansley completely disappeared, she became sober at once.

'What did I do just now? Why was I afraid of that woman? I'm the legitimate daughter of the Luo family. Why was that bitch so arrogant?' she thought to herself.

She couldn't remember what Ansley had said to her. But when she thought of Ansley's face, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.

'Wait! Did she just go into my room?' Everly suddenly realized something.

She rushed over and yelled, "Bitch! Get out right now! This is my room!" She then slammed the door hard.

However, Ansley just ignored Everly. Upon seeing the decorations and furnishings in the room, she frowned.

She finally found a room facing south. But the decorations inside were really... tacky!

'Pink and beige? Shouldn't these colors belong to a little girl's room?' Ansley wondered.

Everly stood at the door, unwilling to leave. Her loud cries had alarmed the people downstairs. When they came up to check, they saw her choking with sobs. There was a pile of pink dolls, sheets, quilts, and other things in front of her.

Ansley kept throwing everything out of the room. She turned and looked at the people outside, but she didn't stop what she was doing.

Cecelia was so angry that she almost fainted. Fortunately, Andres was behind her. He was quick enough to support her when she could barely keep her balance.

Their beloved daughter had never suffered like this before. With trembling body, she pulled Everly into her arms.

Eddie pulled a long face.

Everly thought that Eddie was dissatisfied with Ansley, so she immediately feigned grievance.

"Grandpa, look at her. She wants to take my room. How will I live in this family in the future if she treats me like this?"

"It's just a room, Everly. When have you become so mean?" Eddie said unhappily, looking at her disappointedly.

'Why is Grandpa acting so strange? What's wrong with him today?' Everly thought to herself.

"Grandpa!" she shouted in disbelief.

"Dad, enough!" This time, Andres stepped forward and pulled Cecelia and Everly behind him.

"If you insist on acknowledging this woman as a member of the Luo family, then do it. We won't meddle in your business. Everly, let's go!"

Eddie didn't stop them. In fact, he was so furious while watching their resolute receding figures.

"Such a bastard! Damn it! Why did the Luo family have such a stubborn son?"

He was so angry that he coughed several times. It was as if he would have a heart attack.

All of a sudden, a fair hand held his arm and pulled him into the room.

"Miss Ansley Luo, I'm really sorry."

Ansley leaned against the table and watched Eddie coughing breathlessly. It seemed that he was the only reasonable person in the Luo family.

Still coughing, he looked at her up and down.

With her posture and agile and arrogant gestures, she looked so graceful, aloof, and sexy. He couldn't afford to look straight into her eyes, so he could only stand at a respectful distance.

"May I... May I ask how old are you now?" Eddie asked tentatively.

Ansley was taken aback a little. It had been a long time since someone asked her this question.

She lowered her head and chuckled. "Eddie, all you need to know is that I am the person you think I am."

Ansley raised her head and looked in the direction of the door, which then closed gently all by itself. Eddie couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

If he had doubts about her identity before, now he was convinced that she was that person he thought she was.

Obviously, ordinary humans couldn't control a door as she did. This had confirmed his guess.

Eddie suddenly knelt on the floor.

"Ma'am, please forgive me. Because of my ignorance, I didn't recognized you at first sight." A man who had a commanding presence like him was kneeling on the floor and apologizing to a woman in her twenties. If someone saw such a scene, it would probably cause a sensation in the city.

"Okay, get up."

Eddie slowly stood up with his head down, not daring to look directly at Ansley.

It turned out that what his father had said before he passed away was true. The Luo family had been worshiping a person for generations. It was said that if one day, a fairylike woman with a jade pendant came to them, and they accomplished one thing for her, she would protect the descendants of their family for thousands of years.

"Ma'am, may I ask, what is the purpose of your visit this time?"

"I just need an identity," Ansley said softly.

"Ma'am, this must be fate. In the entire Imperial City, only we share the same surname. But don't you feel aggrieved to be Andres' daughter? If you are willing, you can be my mother."

Ansley was rendered speechless.

"Well, having the identity as his daughter is not that bad."

Besides, the rumors that she was Andres' illegitimate daughter had already spread. It would be troublesome to change her identity now.

"Okay, it's up to you then. What else can I do for you?" Eddie said sincerely.

"I want to marry into the Yan family," Ansley replied straightforwardly.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away."

'Hang on... Which Yan family is she talking about?' Eddie questioned inwardly.

"Ma'am, which Yan family are you talking about?" An ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"How many Yan families are there in the Imperial City?"

'Oh, I'm so screwed this time. She has taken a fancy to the Yan family, which is one of the four great clans in the city, ' Eddie thought inwardly.

He swallowed his saliva and rubbed his hands nervously.

"Um... Ma'am... Well, the Yan family is much superior to us. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to marry any man from their family."

"Oh? Did you just say it's very difficult?" Ansley asked with a smile.

Perhaps it was because of his deep reverence for Ansley, Eddie didn't dare to refuse her.

"Well, it's not that difficult actually. I'll make arrangements now."

He was about to leave the room when he suddenly thought of something. He stopped and turned around.

"Anything else?" Ansley asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Well... Ma'am, what about the press conference tomorrow?"

"I'll be there."

"Okay, I'll be leaving now." There was unrestrained joy on Eddie's face as he walked out of the room with a light heart.

He never expected that the person he had been yearning to meet was in his own home now.

'Andres, you bastard! We are so lucky this time. How can you be so ungrateful? As your father, how can I hurt you?

Humph!' he thought to himself.

But when he remembered Ansley's request, he felt like his head ached all of a sudden.

He didn't even get the chance to meet anyone from the Yan family.

Ansley was too lazy to care about them. She began to concentrate on decorating her room. It didn't take long for the pink room with a girlish aura to become a treasure house.

On the wall were famous paintings and calligraphy. There was an antique vase on the table, and the exquisitely carved pearwood ancient bed was in the middle of the room.

Even the birds outside stopped on the windowsill and looked inside.

The room felt like a secluded place. Ansley was in a good mood while looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction.

After sixty years, she was out of the Ten Square Mountain again. Naturally, she wouldn't treat herself shabbily. After all, she didn't know when she would wake up again after falling asleep the next time.
