Chapter 1190: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (275)
She really wished that she had a mental problem. It was better than facing so many cold and thorough people in reality.
âIf youâre focused on the relationship between my brother and Anhao now, you can take advantage of the fact that you donât have to go to the company and fly back to China to take a look.âZuo Yue choked.
Xu Yuan frowned and turned her head to look at Zuo Yue.ââWhat nonsense are you talking about? Do you really think Iâm that free? If I wasnât worried about you, I wouldnât have temporarily pulled away from all my work and stayed at home with you all day.â
âAlso, regarding your brother and Anhao, I believe that your brother knows what heâs doing. He knows how to find his wife, but youâre different. Youâre still confused.â
Confused?
If falling in love with Xu Chengfeng was really a muddle-headed thing, she would rather stay muddle-headed for the rest of her life.
Seeing that Zuo Yue had stopped talking and was sitting on the bed in a daze, Xu Yuan leaned over and looked at her lovingly.ââIf youâre too bored at home, Mom can accompany you out for a walk. You can go shopping or have coffee, but you have to promise not to leave my sight.â
âForget it, I donât want to go anywhere.âZuo Yue bent her legs and hugged them as she leaned against the headboard.
Seeing her listless appearance, Xu Yuan sighed but did not say anything else.âIâll come back in the afternoon to accompany you. Your grandfather has returned from vacation with his old comrades these two days. I heard that he wasnât feeling well on the way back. I might have to accompany your grandfather to the hospital.â
Zuo Yue sat there as if she did not hear him. She did not nod or say anything. Xu Yuan looked at her for a while. Although her heart ached, she knew that it would take time to heal the wounds in her heart from what had happened three years ago and three years later, so she did not force her anymore. She turned around and walked out, giving Zuo Yue some quiet space.
*****
Half a month laterâŠ
âI heard that Anhao has moved to the apartment in Han City. I think this young couple will be able to return to the United States soon.â
Because of Old Master Zuoâs return, the house was much livelier. They had to gather together for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. No matter how much Zuo Yue avoided it, she had no choice but to come out and eat dinner with everyone because Old Master Zuo was angry.
In order to lighten up the atmosphere, Xu Yuan started to find a topic to talk about. She started to talk about Zuo Hancheng and Anhao. However, the old man did not say anything because he did not have a good impression of Anhao. Zuo Yue also kept her head lowered and ate quietly without interrupting.
In the end, it turned out that Xu Yuan and Father Zuo were constantly discussing Anhao and Zuo Hancheng. They were even discussing that they had been calling to urge them to come back to the United States as soon as possible.
Zuo Yue had always treated herself as an invisible person. She only wanted to get up and leave after eating. However, just as she was about to put down her bowl, Old Master Zuo suddenly put down his cutlery and looked at Zuo Yue.âWhy is Zuo Yue so quiet?â
â Huh?â Zuo Yue suddenly looked up.â Ah?â
âUsually, youâre the one who likes to make threatening gestures at home. You always have all kinds of topics to talk about at the dinner table. I remember that three or two years ago, you were the one who often found topics to make everyone happy at the dinner table.â
On the other side, Xu Yuan was a little embarrassed for a moment, but she still smiled.âDad, Zuo Yue is my child after all. Itâs normal for her to inherit some of my humor. Canât I be more humorous too?â
Old Master Zuo glanced at Xu Yuan and did not say anything. He turned to Zuo Yue and said,ââI suddenly realized that youâre becoming quieter and quieter. Sometimes, I almost forgot that you still exist at home. I always thought that you were studying in Boston, but youâre actually sitting here.â
âGrandpa.â Zuo Yue put down the cutlery in her hand and said,â Iâve just grown up. There arenât as many topics to talk about as when I was young.ââ
âGrow up?â âYouâve grown up and become sensible?â The old man snorted. I think your brother is already 30 years old. Heâs not that mature yet. Isnât the things he does the opposite of me? Nothing has ever gone my way. Back then, I almost died of anger when I married Gu Anhao. It wasnât easy for us to break up, but now Iâm actually looking for that little girl again.â
Zuo Yue frowned when she heard that. Suddenly, she let out a sigh of relief and said unhappily,ââDonât tell me that we juniors can only be considered mature and sensible if we satisfy the elders?â
Hearing the impulse in Zuo Yueâs words, Old Master Zuo glanced at her coldly.ââWhatâs wrong? Are you still going to explode? Gu Anhao and Hancheng arenât here, so stop showing off.â
âGrandpa, itâs really not about my sister-in-law and my brother now.âZuo Yue said angrily,âIf you knew who the man I like is, Iâm afraid this matter wouldnât be as big as mine.ââ
âZuo Yue, stop talking. Canât you tell that your grandfather is concerned about you? When did your grandfather ever talk to you like this?âFather Zuo secretly glared at her, hinting at her to keep her mouth shut.
âYeah, she cares about me and even scolds my brother and sister-in-law at the same time. Isnât it because my sister-in-lawâs background is unknown and she doesnât have a good family background compared to the granddaughter of the Cheng family that Grandpa likes? Wasnât it just that Sister-in-law hadnât been obedient by Grandpaâs side since she was young? Itâs enough that you like Chengxin. Why do you care about our grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law?ââ Thatâs right, Grandpa.â Zuo Yue said while laughing coldly.â Iâve fallen in love with someone that none of you should have fallen in love with. You should be even angrier, right?ââ
âZuo Yue!â Xu Yuan also looked at her sternly.
Zuo Yue ignored him.
She had long disliked her grandfatherâs bad temper. Did he think that his entire familyâs children and grandchildren were just soldiers in front of him decades ago, so he had to scold and scold them like this?
He could do whatever he wanted with his grandsonâs marriage, but he always liked to interfere. Since he liked to be angry so much, he might as well add fuel to the fire. Even if he was willful, it was better for the grandfather and grandson to be willful together. Letâs see who could anger the other to death!
âWhat person you shouldnât like?â He finally noticed the unusual tone in Father Zuo and Mother Zuoâs words. Old Master Zuoâs attention was no longer on the matter of being angry with Zuo Yue. Instead, he turned his eyes and looked at Father Zuo and Mother Zuo with a questioning gaze.
âDad, donât listen to her nonsense. Zuo Yue has been in a relationship recently, but because we didnât allow it, we locked her at home and didnât let her go out.âXu Yuan said with a smile.
Zuo Yue sneered and turned to leave without explaining.
