After an unknown amount of time, that person flipped another page. He seemed to be engrossed in reading and was not as confused as she was.
Zuo Yue suddenly opened her eyes.
Xu Chengfeng turned to look at her.â
âI canât sleep.â Zuo Yue said expressionlessly.
Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a while and closed the magazine in his hand.ââI have to sleep even if I canât. I donât know what Iâm like now. The red veins in your eyes are so serious. How worried will your mother be when she returns to the United States?â
âOf course my mother is worried, because sheâs my biological mother.âZuo Yue suddenly turned to look at him. Xu Chengfeng, are you worried?â
Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.â Donât try to trick me. Hurry up and sleep.ââ
How could he look so calm?
Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him and closed her eyes, but she was not sleepy.
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked forward. She turned to look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. She was so upset that her fingers were twisted together.
*****
During the ten hours on the plane, Xu Chengfeng seemed to have only fulfilled his responsibility of sending her back to the United States safely. He did not have too much intimacy, nor did he say anything because of her emotions.
The two of them seemed to have returned to the relationship between uncle and niece in an instant. He would not care too much about her, nor would he pay special attention to her.
This feeling was really terrible!
After Zuo Yue got off the plane, he carried his suitcase and walked forward quickly. He was on the verge of exploding.
The Zuo family, who had already known that Zuo Yue would be back today, had already sent Wang Ma and Uncle Chen to the airport.
Zuo Yue walked out. Xu Chengfeng was about to take her luggage when Zuo Yue turned around and snatched it back. At the same time, she turned to look at him angrily.âI have my own hands!â
Xu Chengfeng looked at her.â
Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him. She carried her suitcase and turned around as she said coldly,âIâm very calm! You should be busy with your things. Iâve already arrived at the airport. The Zuo family is here to pick me up. You donât have to worry about me! Goodbye!â
When he said this, he suddenly turned his eyes and looked fiercely at the man who was so calm that he almost deserved a beating.âNo! Iâll never see you again!â
Xu Chengfeng was speechless.
Mother Wang and Uncle Chen were outside the airport lobby. When they saw Zuo Yue, they quickly came in. At the same time, they saw Xu Chengfeng coming from behind and immediately nodded politely at him.âMr. Xu!â
Xu Chengfeng was not very familiar with the people of the Zuo family, but he more or less recognized the servants of the Zuo family from many years ago. His attitude was more or less polite, and he nodded lightly in response.
âMiss Sun, you really went in a big circle this time, but you always came back safe and sound!âWang Ma stepped forward and grabbed Zuo Yueâs hand. She said with a pained expression,âDid you suffer much? Didnât Mr. Zuo come back together? He hadnât been back for five years. Why didnât he take this opportunity to come back together?â
âMy brother doesnât have time to send me off.â Zuo Yue casually said and walked out as if Xu Chengfeng did not exist.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xu Chengfeng seemed to have thought of something. He took a glance at Zuo Yueâs back and turned on his phone. Less than a minute after he turned it on, a call came in. He remembered the call he received before he returned to America and the real reason why he went to City A to accompany Zuo Yue back to Los Angeles. His eyes darkened. He picked up the phone and looked at Zuo Yueâs back.
Xu Chengfeng did not say much when he heard the bad news on the other end of the phone, but his eyes darkened.
Zuo Yue, Wang Ma, and Uncle Chen were putting their luggage into the car outside. She clapped her hands and closed the trunk door. She turned around and was about to get into the car when she saw Wang Ma and Uncle Chen seemed to be waiting for Xu Chengfeng. She immediately looked at them strangely.âArenât you here to pick me up? He has his own matters to attend to when he goes back to America, so it shouldnât be on the same way as us.â
Uncle Chen looked at Zuo Yue with a faint smile and didnât say anything. Wang Ma suddenly took Zuo Yueâs hand and looked at her with heartache and regret.â Miss Sun, Mr. Zuo has already told Madam about your return two days ago, but Madam didnât let Mr. Zuo tell you before you came back. Even Mr. Xu probably didnât say much to prevent you from feeling too uncomfortable on the planeâ¦â
Zuo Yue saw Wang Maâs heavy expression and looked at her in confusion. She then looked at Xu Chengfeng who was walking out of the airport lobby. Her gaze moved away from the tall figure and turned back to Wang Ma.âWhat happened?â
âOld Master Xu suddenly fell ill and was admitted to the hospital again yesterday. Recently, not only has Madam been busy with the companyâs matters, but the Xu familyâs matters have also made her anxious. She originally thought that Old Master Xu would be able to make it, but who knewâ¦â âWho knew that just two hours before you and Mr. Xuâs plane landed, Mr. Xu alreadyâ¦â Wang Ma said regretfully.
âMy grandfather?â Zuo Yue looked at Wang Ma in a daze. Heâ¦?â
Xu Chengfeng had already walked over and stood behind Zuo Yue. He saw that she was still in a dream.ââGet in the car.â
Zuo Yue did not say anything, but from Uncle Chen and Wang Maâs eyes, as well as Xu Chengfengâs silent attitude along the way, she already understood.
Grandpa was dead.
Although she was not particularly close to the Xu family, her grandfather was also her family. He was the father of her mother and uncle. He was someone she had admired when she was young.
Seeing that Zuo Yue was silent, Uncle Chen and Mother Wang looked at Xu Chengfeng. Xu Chengfeng let them get in the car first. When Uncle Chen and Mother Wang got into the car, Xu Chengfeng put his hand on Zuo Yueâs shoulder.âGet in the car first.â
Zuo Yue suddenly raised her hand and shook his hand off. When Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes to look at her, she turned around and glared at him angrily.âIf Grandpa doesnât die, do you really plan to never return to America again?â
âZuo Yue, these are two different things.â Xu Chengfeng frowned.â
âIâm talking about Grandpa! You never planned to return to the Xu family! In your eyes, no matter what, the Xu family is inferior to your KP Group! Everything you do in Russia! You will always have something that you feel is important and you will never give in to others!
Whether itâs me or Grandpa, you, Xu Chengfeng, have never given in! You lived in a world that only belonged to the underling. Now, Grandpa is dead! You donât have to bear the shackles of the Xu family anymore! Arenât you especially happy?!â
Xu Chengfeng looked at her quietly and did not explain.
The more he didnât speak, the angrier Zuo Yue became. Zuo Yue raised her hand and pushed him hard.âAnyway, your heart has never been here! You donât belong in America! You can go! Letâs go! The Xu family doesnât even need you to attend funerals!
You go! Go! Donât appear again! Hurry up and leave! Hurry up and leave!â
