Mother Zuo was about to answer when a figure suddenly walked in from the door.
Chengxin walked in with a pale face. The thin dress on her body could not block the cold wind at night. Although Los Angeles was not as cold as the cities further north in winter, it was still very cold at night.
Anhao had just felt the bone-chilling cold wind and was too lazy to stand outside any longer, so she had walked straight back.
She didn’t expect Chengxin to wear less than her and stand outside for so long.
“What’s going on?” The old man’s sharp eyes noticed that Chengxin’s complexion was very bad. Her face was pale and she walked unsteadily. He couldn’t help but walk over quickly with his walking stick. “Why do you look so pale?”
As soon as he got close, he felt the cold air on Chengxin’s body. He immediately frowned and said,”Why did you run outside? How long have you been standing outside?”
Anhao also looked in Chengxin’s direction. She did not know why she had been standing at the fountain and refusing to leave. Could it be that she was really reminiscing about her childhood with Zuo Hancheng?
It was not to the extent of risking her life. There was already some water coming out of the fountain. In addition, the weather was so cold. Even if she was wearing a thick fur coat, the cold wind would blow through her. let alone a small dress.
As she was hesitating, Chengxin looked at the old man with a trembling gaze. There was a hint of grievance in her eyes, and then she suddenly turned to look in Anhao’s direction.
The moment Chengxin looked at her, Anhao instinctively felt a chill down her spine. She had a feeling that something was going to happen.
“I was just going out for a walk, but I saw Miss Gu at the Rainbow Fountain.”Chengxin said with a pale face. She looked like she was in a bad state, and her voice was soft and weak.”After I talked to Miss Gu for a while, she suddenly said that she had something to do and wanted to go back to the front hall. She asked me to wait for her at the fountain.
As she spoke, Chengxin’s eyes turned slightly red, but she refused to cry as if she was trying to be brave. She only said in confusion, “I didn’t know that Miss Gu would take so long to go back, so I waited for her at the fountain. I didn’t expect that she didn’t plan to go out at all and was actually here chatting with
Aunt Zuo.”
When the old man heard this, he immediately looked at Anhao with a pair of sharp eyes.
Anhao opened her mouth. She wanted to explain that there was no such thing, but when she saw the old man’s eyes, she immediately understood what Chengxin wanted to do.
Was she trying to ruin her image in front of the old man after the old man had no choice but to compromise with Zuo Hancheng and give up on the marriage with the Cheng family?
“But Grandpa, don’t blame Miss Gu. Perhaps Miss Gu just forgot that I’m still waiting for her outside. I thought Miss Gu had something to tell me, so I waited foolishly. I didn’t expect…”
Chengxin continued to add fuel to the fire in her soft voice, and the anger in the old man’s eyes grew even stronger.
Xu Yuan, who was sitting next to Anhao, looked at Chengxin in confusion and then at Anhao’s furrowed brows. Although she didn’t know the truth, she quickly said to ease the atmosphere,””Hurry back to your room and change into warm clothes. Then, drink some warm soup to prevent yourself from catching a cold. Aunt Wang, quickly send Miss Cheng off…”
“Aunt Wang, bring Gu Anhao’s luggage over and throw it out!”Old Master Zuo suddenly interrupted Xu Yuan’s words and said angrily with a cold gaze.
Anhao’s face immediately tightened as she looked at the determination in the old man’s eyes in disbelief.
She stood up immediately.” I didn’t do anything. I didn’t even ask Miss Cheng to wait for me.
The old man did not listen to her explanation at all. When Aunt Wang walked out but did not know what to do, he said coldly,”Go, throw Gu Anhao’s luggage out. Don’t say that I don’t tolerate her in the first place, and now the Zuo family can’t tolerate her even more. From now on, this little girl full of schemes was not allowed to have any relationship with the Zuo family! Tomorrow, she would let Hancheng settle the divorce procedures with her!”
“Dad!” Xu Yuan quickly stood up.” Please calm down. We don’t know what happened. You can’t…
“What do you mean? It was obvious that Gu Anhao saw that Chengxin grew up with Hancheng and had been waiting for Hancheng to come back. She felt jealous and wanted to make Chengxin suffer! He really couldn’t tell that this little girl was so young, but she was full of tricks! Our Zuo family will never allow such a woman to enter the house!”
With that, the old man turned around and said angrily,”Aunt Wang! Hurry up and go!”
Aunt Wang was stunned. She looked at Mrs. Zuo and Anhao and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she should go or not. Seeing that Mrs. Zuo kept secretly winking at her, she nodded and turned to leave.
“Grandpa, I really didn’t do anything. I did see Miss Cheng outside, but I only spoke a few words with her before I came back.”Although Anhao already had the urge to tear the roof of the Zuo family apart, she held back her anger for the sake of her mother.
Usually, she could be slandered in school or at the Gu family. Anyway, she did not care.
However, this was the Zuo family, Zuo Hancheng’s home, and all the elders of the Zuo family were here. It was not easy for her to feel that Mother Zuo was like a mother and could not bear to part with these warm people. However, a
few words from Chengxin instantly hit her bottom. How could she compromise so easily?
“You don’t need to explain. You just need to leave immediately.”The old man looked at her expressionlessly.”Little girl surnamed Gu, you’re still too inexperienced to bully people in our Zuo family. Although Chengxin isn’t my granddaughter, she’s my precious baby. If you dare to secretly do bad things to her, I’ll definitely make you suffer!”
‘ Grandpa, maybe Miss Gu really just forgot about it. It’s all my fault for waiting like a fool. Actually, it’s not a big deal…” Cheng Xin whispered.
When Old Master heard Chengxin’s sensible words, he glared even more angrily at Anhao, who could not defend herself.””Look, look, why do I want Hancheng to marry a girl from a family? Why do I say that Gu Anhao, a young girl without any background or upbringing, is not worthy of entering the Zuo family? One did something wrong but did not know how to repent, while the other was wronged but kept putting in good words for the other party! Gu Anhao, you don’t even blush!”
Initially, Anhao was still very patient to explain, but when she heard Old Master Zuo say that she had no parents to educate her, her face immediately turned cold.
Seeing Gu Anhao’s expression, the old man said nonchalantly,””You’re still a little girl, so I don’t want to say anything worse. Please be more self-aware and get out of the Zuo family!”
“Dad, your words are too…”
“What happened?” Suddenly, a cold voice came from inside.
Zuo Hancheng’s figure walked over from the next room as he spoke..
