Chapter 2595 - 708: Shocked Again, Country Zi Accepts a Father_3
In this world, many people with power can freely access any prestigious family. But the Stausauser Family is not one that ordinary people can visit casually. Even the Childersloo Family, which holds the economic lifeline of the world, must send a letter of request in advance.
If those circles of aristocrats and celebrities knew that An Yiqing casually entered here, and was even personally invited by Lanni, they would be green with envy and jealousy.
As she got out of the car, An Yiqing gazed upon the grandeur of the Stausauser Manor and couldn’t help but express her admiration. Truly worthy of the Stausauser Family, each brick and tile here seems to be steeped in rich ancient charm and elegant atmosphere. This is something beyond the reach of ordinary circles of aristocrats and celebrities.
"Xiao Qing, this is the home of my father and me, and it’s also your home. You are the master here and can come and go freely without restraint." Lanni said warmly, as he took An Yiqing aboard a golf cart, slowly heading towards the main house.
Zhang Yuksheng and others followed behind, surveying the manor and exclaiming in wonder.
"This is really the Stausauser Manor! I remember when I was studying in Country Jin, my professor talked about it. Back then, the Stausauser Family seemed like a legend beyond belief!" Liao Jinglin exclaimed in admiration.
Hua Yun touched her nose, looking at the vast manor, "I’ve never quite understood what exactly the Stausauser Family does? Why are they called a hidden aristocratic family?"
"Actually, people’s understanding of hidden aristocratic families is somewhat skewed. Most people think that a hidden aristocratic family is one that no one knows. But that isn’t really the case. A hidden aristocratic family, like the Stausauser Family, stands there, yet no one can see through its depth. That’s what’s most terrifying. You’ve heard of the Childersloo Family, right? They say it controls the world’s economic lifeline. But many don’t know that someone once said the Childersloo Family is just a branch of the Stausauser Family. Many internationally renowned enterprises have the Stausauser Family as their behind-the-scenes operator. So, a family you can’t see isn’t terrifying. Seeing one and never being able to grasp its depth, that’s what’s most frightening." Zhang Yuksheng explained.
Hua Yun gasped, "The Childersloo Family is a branch of the Stausauser Family? Is it true?"
Zhang Yuksheng heard her question and smiled meaningfully, "Does it matter if it’s true or not? Anyway, it’s what the lady told me."
Hua Yun’s mouth twitched. If the lady said so, then it can’t be false, right? The Childersloo Family, that legendary family, is actually a branch of the Stausauser Family! If this news gets out, wouldn’t all aristocratic families crowd to unearth it?
No one wants to believe it, and no one dares to believe it. Only An Yiqing, in front of such a colossal entity, still conversed freely, even becoming friends with the family’s head.
"Wow! Our lady is really amazing!" Hua Yun exclaimed with admiration, hands close to her heart.
Liao Jinglin raised an eyebrow and rolled his eyes proudly, "Of course! When the lady steps up, the world is invincible!"
With lively conversation along the way, they quickly reached the main house’s gate. An Yiqing got out of the car with Lanni and immediately saw Old Arthur waiting outside the door.
"Grandpa Arthur, long time no see!"
Old Arthur opened his arms to hug An Yiqing, his expression excited, "Dear Xiao Qing, finally I see you! You’re alive, thank God!"
An Yiqing smiled as she returned Old Arthur’s hug, "Grandpa Arthur, you should be thanking my resilient life. I’m glad I get to see you!"
After a warm exchange, Lanni and Zhang Yuksheng stood by, smiling as they waited for the two to calm their emotions before heading inside together.
Old Arthur instructed the servants to take An Yiqing’s luggage to a room, and everyone went to sit in the living room.
"Xiao Qing, you’ll stay here for these days. Stausauser Manor is your home in Country Zi. Please make yourself at home."
"Thank you, Grandpa Arthur." An Yiqing replied with gratitude, then turned to Zhang Yuksheng and said, "Why don’t you all go to your rooms to rest for a while, take a bath, and change your clothes."
After Zhang Yuksheng and others left, the smiles of Old Arthur and Lanni became more relaxed. They looked at An Yiqing, their hearts still stirred with excitement.
"Dear Xiao Qing, this past year, I was worried. You’re finally back alive! I am so moved!" Old Arthur kept repeating, and An Yiqing looked at him with a heart full of warmth.
"Thanks to Grandpa Arthur and Lanni, not only did I survive, but my son also survived."
"Oh my God! I almost forgot you have a son!" Old Arthur exclaimed, "Where is he? Why didn’t you bring him?"
"Xiao Bao is too young, and my mother couldn’t bear him traveling to and fro. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll definitely bring him here to visit."
"He must be the most handsome little man in the world! Xiao Qing, I want to recognize him as my grandson! Would that be alright?" Old Arthur asked earnestly.
An Yiqing was slightly taken aback but quickly understood. Mike Stausauser’s grandson isn’t a title just anyone can take. It’s a symbol of status. Old Arthur doing this must be a way to repay her kindness. Additionally, it also expresses his trust in her.
An Yiqing felt a bit touched. Although her interactions with Old Arthur and his son weren’t many, yet she was warmly accepted like a close confidant. Indeed, it made her feel flattered.
"Grandpa Arthur, you really don’t have to do this."
"No, Xiao Qing. You saved my life and helped Lanni. Even if I were to repay you with this life, it would be deserved. The Stausauser Family has always been clear about gratitude and grievances; we’re friends, so don’t mind it! I like children. I long for a little grandson. Just consider realizing an old man’s wish!"
Seeing Old Arthur insist, An Yiqing couldn’t refuse further. Having Old Arthur recognize Xiao Bao as a grandfather wouldn’t be a bad thing.
"Alright then, I will contact Xiao Bao tonight and ask for his opinion."
Old Arthur nodded excitedly, and Lanni was thrilled at gaining a nephew. Since Xiao Bao recognizes Old Arthur as a grandfather, An Yiqing could no longer call Old Arthur grandfather. She, being younger than Lanni, would call Old Arthur Father Arthur and Lanni as brother.
An Yiqing hadn’t anticipated that coming to Country Zi would earn her a father and a brother. However, she’s always been fond of this father-son duo.
