Just as she left Zuo Yue’s room, Anhao heard a servant say,””Mr. Zuo has returned to the city.”
Anhao immediately walked out of the secluded attic behind the manor where Zuo Yue was. She did not know what was wrong with her. She was in the Zuo family and should be at ease with him, but she had been wanting to see him for the past two days. Even if it was just a glance, she just wanted to make sure that he was still the same Zuo Hancheng as she remembered.
After a few twists and turns, they finally arrived at the hall of the manor. As soon as they entered, they heard a ” bang “. It sounded like a walking stick had been smashed onto the ground.
Anhao stopped in her tracks and quickly walked in. Sure enough, she saw the old man sitting in a wheelchair with an ugly expression on his face. Almost half of his body was covered with a thin blanket. Although he had been taking supplements for the past few days since he was discharged from the hospital, he still looked much older than before. Not only did his complexion look bad, but even his lips did not look very healthy.
However, his anger was as great as ever.
“Xu Yuan, it’s your good brother’s business what he likes to do, but you have to control him well. Don’t let him involve our Zuo family in this mess! Also, about Zuo Yue, if that wretched girl doesn’t want her face anymore, get her out of the Zuo family. I don’t want such a shameless and disrespectful granddaughter!”
The old man was furious. Anhao finally saw clearly that it was him who threw his crutch in the direction of Zuo’s mother, Xu Yuan, and father. Although he didn’t hit anyone, he seemed to have used all his strength.
If it really hit Mrs. Zuo’s body, it would definitely hurt even if it didn’t hurt.
Xu Yuan had obviously become much more haggard recently. She did not refute the old man’s complaints, but Father Zuo pulled Mother Zuo behind him and said with a heavy expression,””Dad, Xu Yuan is the daughter-in-law you’ve praised for more than 30 years. Are you going to shatter your relationship with her now? That walking stick was also a gift from Xu Yuan!”
The old man’s face was obviously scrunched up. It was obvious that he was gritting his teeth fiercely. However, because of Father Zuo’s words, he looked at the crutch on the ground that was not broken even after being thrown so hard. His eyes suddenly became sad.”She’s indeed a good wife, a good wife who can’t be found fault with. But who would have thought that your brother, who was once adopted wrongly and then sent back to the Xu family, would one day do such a ridiculous thing? Zuo Yue is my biological granddaughter! My biological granddaughter has done such a thing against humanity. How can I face the ancestors of the Zuo family in the future?”
“When you encounter a problem, you only need to solve it from the root. Breaking crutches and cursing can’t solve the problem.”Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng’s voice came from outside the door.
Anhao raised her head when she heard the sound. She saw Zuo Hancheng, who had not entered the hall just now, suddenly appear at the door. He had obviously heard the commotion from outside and was quite dissatisfied with the old man’s use of his walking stick to throw Father Zuo.
Anhao had just entered from the back door, so the old man had not noticed her yet. However, Zuo Hancheng’s gaze had already shifted to Anhao when he entered the room. The old man noticed Zuo Hancheng’s gaze and only then did he react. He suddenly turned around and saw Anhao standing behind him. His already ugly expression immediately darkened.”What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to stay in your room in Hancheng when we returned to the Zuo family’s house from the hospital? Didn’t I already warn you not to appear in front of me?!”
“Dad, Zuo Yue is in trouble now. Why are you venting your anger on Anhao? If Anhao hadn’t been talking to Zuo Yue recently, do you think that Zuo Yue, that girl, would be able to keep her temper under control?”Father Zuo’s face turned ugly as he said,” Hancheng allowed Anhao to stay in the Zuo family because he trusted us. You hurt Anhao in front of Hancheng. That’s too much!””
The old man immediately raised his eyes and glared at Father Zuo coldly.”I’ve never really acknowledged this granddaughter-in-law. What does it have to do with me whether she’s hurt or not?”
He knew that the old man was angry. He was usually stubborn, and now he was even more unreasonable. He wanted to chase everyone away.
Father Zuo did not say anything more. He turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was walking towards Anhao.”Hancheng, bring Anhao back to her room. You probably haven’t had a good rest for the past two days. You guys go back to your room first.”
Zuo Hancheng was obviously very indifferent to the old man because of the rude words he had just said. He walked past the old man, completely ignoring the old man’s fiery gaze. When he walked to Anhao, he raised his hand to stroke her face. When he saw the dark circles under her eyes, he immediately looked at her with dissatisfaction.
Knowing that he was silently questioning why she didn’t sleep well, Anhao couldn’t say too much due to the current situation. She only explained softly,””When I saw that you didn’t come back last night, I stayed in Zuo Yue’s room with her. I fell asleep by her bed, but I didn’t sleep very well.”
“Sleep in my room tonight.”
Zuo Hancheng grabbed her shoulder and was about to take her away. The old man, who was ignored by him, immediately scolded angrily,””You dare to leave? Hancheng, you really don’t care about me anymore, do you?!”
Just as Anhao was about to stop, Zuo Hancheng held her shoulders tightly and did not let her turn around. At the same time, he lowered his eyes and gave her a warning look, warning her not to use her passion in places she should not.
Anhao couldn’t help but whisper,”Grandpa lost his temper at Mom just now ”
“With Dad around, nothing will happen.” Zuo Hancheng said calmly. At the same time, he glanced at Anhao as if there was no one else in the hall and said in a low voice,””Don’t you miss me?”
Zuo Hancheng’s voice was low, but he did not deliberately lower it. At this time, the hall was so quiet that almost everyone could hear Zuo Hancheng’s ambiguous and inexplicable words. Anhao’s lips twitched instantly and she secretly threw him a look, meaning that there were so many people here, so he should restrain himself.
However, the angrier the old man was, the more Zuo Hancheng ignored her. He did not even care about the old man’s angry expression. He suddenly placed his palm on the back of her head and planted a gentle kiss on her hair. Then, he brought the shocked Anhao out of the back door.
When they reached the door, Anhao’s face was still burning hot. She let Zuo Hancheng lead her outside. When the wind blew outside, she suddenly came back to her senses and asked,””Aren’t you afraid that he’ll have heart problems again if you’re so angry at grandfather ”
Zuo Hancheng’s lips curled up in a lukewarm manner.”Old Master’s heart is not as weak as you think.”
