Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043: Asking the Moon on the Wind (128)

The sunlight in front of the window was warm. Zuo Yue was sitting on the balcony of the bedroom with her cat in her arms. She was half-asleep when she heard someone knocking on the door.

She opened her eyes and looked back at the bedroom door.”Come in.”

Xu Yuan pushed the door open and entered. She saw Zuo Yue still holding the cat in her arms and leaning on the sofa all day. She could not help but walk over.”You’ve probably been back for many days. Why do you always look like you don’t care about anyone? Also, don’t let your cats appear in front of your grandpa as much as possible. These two days, your grandpa has been criticizing you in front of me and your dad. You know that your grandpa has a bad temper, but why do you like to go against him?”

He knew that his mother’s sudden search for him must have something to do with his grandfather.

Zuo Yue leaned against the sofa and did not move. She squinted at the sunlight outside the window and sighed.”Mom, Grandpa doesn’t like anyone except for Cheng Xin. Who has he liked in our Zuo family? I rarely go in front of him anymore, but I was scolded by him. If I ran to Grandpa every day like Chengxin, I would probably have been scolded until my heart was made of glass.”

“You also know that Chengxin comes to see your grandfather every day? Whose grandfather was that? Why can’t you learn from Miss Cheng? Go to the old master and put in a good word. Otherwise, your granddaughter’s status will be overtaken by him.”

Zuo Yue’s lips twitched.” Chengxin has a motive. Mom, you know it too. She doesn’t want to be the granddaughter of the family. She has been persisting for years to win Grandpa’s favor. She wants to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Zuo family wholeheartedly.””

Xu Yuan did not say much when she saw Zuo Yue speak so straightforwardly, but she clearly understood in her heart.

Xu Yuan sat on another armchair by the window and looked at Zuo Yue’s lazy appearance.””After you came back from Boston, you didn’t seem to be interested in anything.”

Zuo Yue’s eyes paused for a moment, but she did not answer. She only lowered her head and rubbed the cat in her arms against her neck. Then, she used her hand to stroke the cat in her arms, as if she did not intend to answer.

“Is it a relationship problem?”

“No.” Zuo Yue raised her hand and rubbed her nose.” Mom, I’ve been trying my best to gain back the weight that I lost recently. Didn’t you notice that I’ve been eating and drinking well recently and that I look ruddy?” He’s just a little lazy. What’s there to worry about?”

“Before your uncle left, he specially asked us to bring you back. He also said that your relationship wasn’t very good and asked us to be more careful. However, seeing that you could indeed eat and drink after you came back, I wasn’t too worried. Just now, if Wang Ma hadn’t said that you locked yourself in your room every day and that it wasn’t normal for you to be quiet, I wouldn’t have been in the mood to come and talk to you.”Xu Yuan said softly,” Your grandfather is about to die. There are too many things in the Xu and Zuo families that I need to deal with. I just hope that you can get over it, whether it’s a relationship problem or any unhappy thing. Don’t go into a dead end.””

Zuo Yue did not say anything else after replying.

“Have you called your uncle recently?”

“No, I haven’t.”

“Did you guys completely cut off contact after you separated?”Xu Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly.

For some reason, even though there was nothing wrong with her mother’s words, Zuo Yue could still vaguely feel that her mother was trying to probe for something.

Could it be that the suspicion from last time had not been completely dispelled?

Zuo Yue immediately looked up at her.” Uncle is usually so busy. When I was in Boston, he took care of me all because of you, Mom. Now that I’m finally free, he doesn’t even contact the Xu family and doesn’t keep in touch with you. Why would he specially call me?”

Xu Yuan paused and suddenly changed the topic of the call. She asked directly,”Zuo Yue, what’s your impression of your uncle?”

“What impression?”

“What do you think of your uncle?”

“.. It’s alright.” Zuo Yue really did not want to mention that person, but her mother kept mentioning Xu Chengfeng’s matter. This made Zuo Yue’s heart, which she had tried hard to suppress and calm down every day, feel like it was being pricked by needles.

A person left just like that, and completely cut off contact just like that.

He didn’t even send a text message, let alone a phone call.

It was as if he had disappeared from her life without a trace.

“Your uncle is also at the age where he should get married. I don’t know if his little girlfriend left with him when I went last time.”Xu Yuan vaguely mentioned this matter again.

“Don’t ask me about this. I don’t know either.”Zuo Yue answered vaguely and then pulled the blanket on her body up. She said lazily,””I’m so sleepy. I want to sleep.”

As she spoke, she closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep.

“Still sleeping? There are twenty-four hours in a day, and you can sleep for sixteen to seventeen hours almost every day. Did you come back from vacation just to sleep? You’re too lazy to act coquettishly with your grandfather. You’re too lazy to participate in the family matters. You only know how to hug these cats every day. Do you plan to spend the rest of your life with cats?”

Zuo Yue immediately opened her eyes.” Even if I really spend the rest of my life with a cat, it’s still much better than finding a person who makes you feel that you can’t be with and worrying about him.””

Xu Yuan’s expression froze and she immediately looked at her.””What did you say?”

As expected, it was still too impulsive.

If her mother had not kept mentioning Xu Chengfeng’s matter, she would have been able to calm down a little. At this moment, she was really anxious and uncomfortable.

She simply did not say anything else and pulled the blanket over her head, refusing to communicate.

Xu Yuan looked at her thoughtfully for a while, then suddenly turned to look at the row of small dolls in the crystal box on the cabinet beside Zuo Yue’s bed. After thinking about it, she did not want to think about it so complicated.

No matter what, she still felt that she might have been thinking too much.

Even if Zuo Yue was young and ignorant, Xu Chengfeng would definitely know his limits. Therefore, the relationship between those pure uncles and nephews should have always been that simple. There was nothing else.

But who was the person that Zuo Yue said she couldn’t be with?

“Zuo Yue.”

“Aiya, Mom, just take it that I accidentally fell in love with a married man. Is this explanation enough? Stop guessing and let me sleep for a while!”Zuo Yue said in a muffled voice as she hid in the blanket.

“Zuo Yue, you must have a bottom line.”

Zuo Yue knew that her mother had believed her random excuse. She did not say a word and buried her face in the cat fur. Her nose gradually turned sour.
