Chapter 956: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Panic (41)
“You trust me that much?” Xu Chengfeng chuckled.”
Zuo Yue hesitated for a moment, then looked at him and nodded seriously.
Seeing her seriousness, Xu Chengfeng curled his lips. Although his smile was faint, Zuo Yue could see that he seemed to be in a good mood because of her answer.
However, on the way back to the Xu family, Xu Chengfeng did not say another word to her.
Just before they got off the car, Zuo Yue looked at Xu Chengfeng worriedly.”” I haven’t been back to the Xu family for more than a year. I wonder if Grandpa will scold me when he sees me…”
“I won’t.” Xu Chengfeng replied calmly.
” Why not?” Zuo Yue looked at him in confusion.” Why not?””
And he seemed to be very certain.
“I haven’t been back to the Xu family more than three times in so many years. If he still had the strength to jump out of bed and scold people, the first person he wanted to scold would be me, not you.”As Xu Chengfeng spoke, he turned to look outside the window.
The black Cayenne had already driven into the Xu family’s residence. There were servants respectfully leading the way on both sides. Zuo Yue was still slightly nervous when they stopped at the Xu family’s private parking lot.
After all, the Xu family and the Zuo family had been in Los Angeles for more than a hundred years. However, Grandpa Xu and Grandpa Xu were both stubborn and difficult to deal with.
When she was young, she could still talk to her grandfather. When she grew up, she felt that the generation gap had increased. In addition, she was busy with her studies, so she really hadn’t come back for a long time.
He had only called Xu Yuan a few days ago to ask about his grandfather’s health.
Before Xu Chengfeng got out of the car, he saw that she was still sitting in the car without moving. He looked back at her and suddenly reached out his hand.”Aren’t you getting out of the car?”
Zuo Yue turned to look at him, then at his hand. She passed his hand to him and got out of the car with Xu Chengfeng’s help. A servant came over to greet her, calling her Mr. Xu and Ms. Xu.
Yes, she was the granddaughter of Old Master Zuo, so she was Miss Sun in the Zuo family.
She was Old Master Xu’s granddaughter, so she could only be the mistress here.
She was already used to the rules and titles of address in these Chinese families since she was young. However, she did not expect that when these servants called Xu Chengfeng, they seemed to be very unfamiliar with him. When they called him Mr. Xu, someone would secretly look up at him as if it was the first time they saw him.
Ainte was brought by Xu Chengfeng, but he was not a member of the Xu family. Therefore, the servant brought Ainte to rest elsewhere, while Zuo Yue followed Xu Chengfeng to the main hall in front.
As she walked, she followed behind him and whispered,””Have the servants of the Xu family never seen you before? I feel that although they know of your existence, they look at you as if you are a stranger and curious.”
“I haven’t seen the new servants in recent years.”Xu Chengfeng did not say much. After he got off the car, he walked in this direction with an extremely indifferent expression. However, because Zuo Yue had been following closely, he casually replied.
However, Zuo Yue could tell that he was not paying attention to the situation. He did not seem to be in a good mood after returning to the Xu family.
If it wasn’t for her mother finding an excuse to ask him to send her back, he probably wouldn’t have come back to see Grandpa even if he was really dying.
Zuo Yue was deep in her thoughts as she followed behind Xu Chengfeng. However, he was tall and had long legs. He walked like the wind. She wanted to reach out to grab his sleeve and jog with him, but the moment she raised her hand, she paused and quickly retracted it.
In fact, if she really walked in with her uncle holding hands, even if the Xu family saw her, they would only think that their relationship was not bad. She, this little girl, seemed to be very familiar with this uncle. After all, they came back together, so they would definitely not think too much.
However, it was awkward for Zuo Yue. Others would not think too much, but she could not reach out her hand. She could only obediently follow behind him, but at the same time maintain a certain distance.
After entering the front hall of the Xu family, Xu Yuan happened to walk out from behind. The moment she saw Zuo Yue, she quickly walked over.”How is it? You didn’t rest after rushing back all night, right?”
As she spoke, she looked at Xu Chengfeng again. Xu Chengfeng only glanced at Xu Yuan indifferently and did not look at any place in the front hall of the Xu family.
Seeing that he still did not have any extra feelings for the Xu family, Xu Yuan hid a trace of helplessness. She pulled Zuo Yue’s hand and said,””Look at you. You must have fallen asleep in the car and didn’t even tidy yourself up. Hurry up and go back to your room to take a shower and change your clothes.”
“Mom, Uncle said that Grandpa’s illness…”
Before Zuo Yue could finish, Xu Yuan interrupted her,””A few days ago, your grandfather was indeed on the verge of death. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment before he stabilized. Although he’s still stable now, your grandfather insisted on returning home and doesn’t want to stay in the hospital. We’ve been so busy that we’re afraid that something will happen again. Right now, we can’t be sure how long your grandfather’s body can last. Maybe he’ll be fine after recovering for a while and can walk again, or maybe…”
At this point, Xu Yuan looked at Xu Chengfeng.””Chengfeng, when you see Dad, you should soften your attitude and don’t argue with him, okay?”
“I’m only responsible for sending Zuo Yue back. Since I’m back, I have to see her. As for my attitude, you don’t have to worry about it.”Xu Chengfeng’s voice was neither cold nor warm, and it was impossible to tell his emotions or intentions.
Xu Yuan had no choice but to say no more. She turned around and instructed the servants to send him and Zuo Yue to their respective rooms to rest. She also said that Zuo Yue’s grandfather was sleeping at the moment and it was not convenient for him to see them. She would wait until his grandfather woke up.
Being in the Xu family, Zuo Yue definitely could not be alone with Xu Chengfeng anymore. However, when she saw that he did not even look at her when he turned around and left, Zuo Yue felt a strange panic.
If Xu Chengfeng left the Xu family now, would he never appear in front of her again?
As she thought about it, she turned her head from time to time. However, when she turned her head, she saw Xu Yuan’s figure. Xu Yuan was looking in the direction of Xu Chengfeng. Her eyes were filled with helplessness and a sigh, as if she was helpless about the relationship between them.
Because her mother was there, Zuo Yue quickly retracted her gaze, afraid that her mother would find out that her relationship with her uncle had progressed too quickly. She was afraid that her mother would come and ask how she was getting along with her uncle.
She went back to her bedroom in the Xu family’s house to take a shower. She took out her spare clothes and changed into them. As it was almost winter and the weather was a little cold, she wore a long-sleeved loose sweater and jeans.
