It was rare to find that the usually gentle Xu Yuan actually had an aggressive side to her. Xu Chengfeng could tell that she had begun to suspect his relationship with Zuo Yue because of the phone call just now.
âSheâs a little shy. Moreover, when you passed by just now, you saw the two of us being so intimate. Sheâs not ready to meet my family yet. You might have to understand this more or less. If thereâs a chance in the future, Iâll bring her back to see you.â
Xu Chengfengâs attitude was calm, and no clues could be seen.
However, Zuo Yue had been hiding under the desk for too long. She was in a hurry when she crawled down just now, so her posture was not very comfortable. Now, her calf was numb as if it was pricked by countless needles. It was painful and uncomfortable. She carefully tried to move her leg, but her head suddenly hit the corner of a drawer under the desk. She immediately gasped in pain, but she did not dare to make too much movement. She quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, enduring the pain on her head and leg, not daring to move again.
Although the sound of her breathing was very soft, Xu Yuan was too familiar with everything about her daughter. She even knew her daughterâs breathing frequency when she was sleeping. At this moment, she took a step forward. Not only did she start to be aggressive, but her words were also a little forceful.â Since youâre uncomfortable hiding down there, come out. No matter how embarrassed you are, as your sister, I have to see who my brotherâs girlfriend is. After all, the Xu family is not an ordinary family. Chengfeng is the head of the GN Group, and not every woman can be casually dated. Are you hiding like this?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zuo Yueâs heart trembled when she heard that.
Her mother had never spoken in such a tone. She had never been biased towards her brother and herself. Her mother had never considered the position of the Xu family or the Zuo family when it came to their future partners. But now, her mother actually used such a reason to force her to show up.
After all, she was her biological daughter. Her mother was already starting to worry, right?
Anyway, she had already come this far with her uncle. Could it be that they really could not be together in the future?
If they wanted to be together in the future, they would have to face it sooner or later, right?
In front of the desk, Xu Chengfeng raised his hand slightly to stop Xu Yuanâs footsteps, warning her with his eyes not to mess around. Xu Yuan did not force herself to go over and take a look, but when she saw Xu Chengfengâs attitude of not explaining much and the girl refusing to come out, she was extremely anxious and her expression was much uglier.âChengfeng, who is she? It looked very familiar to me just now! I know her, right?â
Hearing this, Zuo Yue took a deep breath and suddenly crawled out from under the desk. Just as she was about to stand up and reveal her head, she suddenly heard Xu Chengfengâs scolding,ââGo back!â
Zuo Yueâs movements froze. She stopped behind the desk and did not move. She thought about it and felt that now was really not the time. Moreover, if she came out now, her mother would probably not give her the chance to see her uncle in the future. She would have to live in the pain of being separated from him forever.
She had no choice but to turn around and crawl back in. Anyway, she hadnât stood up when she came out just now, so her mother didnât see her. At most, she only saw the corner of her clothes.
Xu Yuan looked in the direction of the office desk, then turned to look at Xu Chengfengâs cold and impatient expression.ââChengfeng, just now, I thought that your girlfriend might really be just shy, but in this situation, I really canât help but be curious about who she is. Why are you using such a method to prevent me from seeing her?â
âYou seem to have always been such a forceful person. Why? Is my other half worth it for you to throw away your demeanor as the matriarch of the Zuo family just to see who my woman is? You can even forcefully barge into my office?âXu Chengfeng looked at her coldly.â Since I still call you sister, letâs go to the waiting room to talk about the hospital information. Donât make things difficult for her.ââ
Xu Yuan looked at him and thought for a moment. Suddenly, she looked at the phone that belonged to Zuo Yue in her hand. She narrowed her eyes and said,âWhere is Zuo Yue now?â
âHow would I know? If she knew, I would have sent this phone to her long ago.âXu Chengfengâs eyes were still indifferent.â If sheâs not at school, sheâs already at the villa. My villa is very close to her school. If youâre worried, you can go to the villa to look for her instead of asking me here.ââ
âAre you sure sheâs not in your company now?âXu Yuan suddenly went straight to the point.
Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a moment and suddenly snorted.âDo you think that my company allows a young lady who hasnât been weaned from milk to enter as she pleases?â
Xu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief again because of his tone of disdain and rejection towards Zuo Yue.
Previously, when they returned to the Xu family, she had felt that there seemed to be something between Zuo Yue and Xu Chengfeng. It seemed that their relationship had become much closer. Could it be that she was overthinking just now?
With Xu Chengfengâs personality and Zuo Yueâs usual willfulness and childishness, it was indeed impossible for them to coexist for too long. It was not surprising that Xu Chengfeng despised her like a child.
Xu Yuan looked at the direction of the desk again, thinking that if this girl was really not Zuo Yue, she would probably scare the little girl if she continued to be so aggressive.
It was not easy for her to find a woman beside Xu Chengfeng, who was as unapproachable as an iceberg. She could not scare this girl away because of her momentary suspicion and selfishness. After thinking about it, she finally turned around and walked away at the same time.
âLetâs go to the lounge.â she said.
Zuo Yue slowly heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Xu Yuan open the office door.
Xu Chengfeng did not stay for too long. Before he left the office, he only paused for a moment. Without turning back, he said to the person under the table,ââIâm here for everything. When you need to face it, Iâll be the one to face it first. Thereâs no reason for you to suffer any harm.â
Zuo Yue did not say anything, but her silent reaction was a response. Xu Chengfeng did not force her and walked out of the office.
After the office door was closed, Zuo Yue slowly bent her legs under the desk. She curled up her body and pressed her forehead against her knees. She did not move at all and hugged her legs tightly with both hands.
Why did her mother appear at this time?
Nothing had happened between her and Uncle. Would her appearance make Uncle more clear-headed? Also, what was the information that Mom had just told Uncle about?
Was there any other reason why her uncle was carried away by the wrong person in the hospital?
