Chapter 18: An's Mother's Past

  It was a peaceful few days. Today is the day of posting results, and three people went to school together. They saw that the scores were not what they expected, and all took the exam at Municipal No. 1 Middle School. It was expected that Rongyao and Chenkun would be admitted, but Cao Wei's admission was a surprise.

  Back at the Rong's home. It was still that small hut, which could be said to be their base of operations for the three of them. Rong held in his hand the manual of martial arts secrets given by Grandfather Zhang, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't make sense of it.

  Cao Wei saw Rong Yao glance at the martial arts secret book and said with a sneer: "What are you looking at? It's all fake anyway. Old Man Zhang must be fooling us, playing a joke on us. Six years have passed and I haven't felt anything. What's the point of practicing? Haven't you seen how he smiles when we tell him we haven't succeeded? How despicable! I'm not practicing anymore. With that time, I'd rather go online, chat with some girls."

  Chen Kun also nodded: "Yes, the things we learned from Old Zhang over the years are enough. With my current skills, even four or five people can't get close to me. If I make a careful plan, I think I should be able to avenge An's mom without any problem. The only thing is, I don't know where those people who killed An's mom are, and how we can find them."

  Honor looked at the manual in his hand: "This manual should be true, Grandpa Zhang didn't need to deceive us. If it's fake, he wouldn't have kept it as a treasure all along. I think we just haven't practiced the right method, so we haven't felt anything for six years. You guys don't practice if you don't want to, I'll try practicing for a few more days."

  Rong Yao thought for a moment and then said, "As for Ah-Ma's enemy, I do know some clues." Cao Lei immediately became anxious and asked, "You know? Who is it? Tell me quickly!" Seeing Rong Yao lower his head in deep thought, not daring to disturb him, he got impatient and started pacing back and forth on the ground, rubbing his hands together. Seeing his state, Rong Yao helplessly shook his head: "Do you guys still remember those diaries we saw when we were sorting through Ah-Ma's belongings?"

  Chen Kun nodded and said, "I remember that year's events, I will never forget. Especially those thick diaries, I've never seen anyone keep so many diaries."

  That was written by An's mom from the age of five until the day before she passed away. It mentioned a person named Sun Hao, who is the son of Sun Daqian, a famous entrepreneur in Liaoning Province with assets worth tens of billions. Sun Hao is someone who doesn't do anything good and does everything bad - he eats, drinks, visits prostitutes, and gambles, just like a spoiled rich kid. He had known An's mom for a long time and had been pursuing her, but An's mom knew his character, so how could she possibly agree to his pursuit? With no other choice, she went abroad to study to escape his entanglement.

  Actually, An's mother's family background is not ordinary either, it's just that the Sun family has more power. An's mother is the daughter of An Jian Guo, the chairman of the An Group. An Jian Guo had always wanted to marry off An's mother to Sun Hao, in order to use the Sun family's wealth and influence to expand the An Group. However, An's mother disagreed and eventually left the country, so this matter was dropped.

  After An's mother went abroad, she met Dong Jun, Angie's father, at school. They were together from acquaintance to love. After graduation, they returned home together and originally wanted to get married, but An Jian Guo strongly disagreed with their relationship. The reason was that Dong Jun was a rural person, even though he studied abroad due to his excellent academic performance, and relied on part-time jobs and scholarships to make ends meet. How could An Jian Guo marry his daughter off to such a poor man?
