Zuo Yue instantly looked at her mother as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Would he never appear in front of her again?
Never set foot in Los Angeles again?
Zuo Yue looked at Xu Yuan for a long time, but she did not ask a single word. She turned around and was about to get into the car when Xu Yuan stepped forward and pulled her down again.âZuo Yue! Do you know how worried I am about you? Do you know how difficult it is to correct this kind of abnormal relationship? I wonât force you to let go of your vows, but I definitely wonât allow the two of you to meet again in the future!â
Zuo Yue shook off her hand forcefully.ââYes, youâre all right! Iâm the only one who pester her every day! Heâs not in the wrong. The one in the wrong has always been me! Now, anyone can leave just like that. Iâm the only one whoâs been kept in the dark like a fool! Now that the person who wanted to leave has left, and youâve already seen the outcome you wanted, why are you still dragging me along?
Let me go!â
âZuo Yue, Mommy doesnât want to hurt you! I canât force you, so I can only force your uncle! At least he knows whatâs best for you! At least heâs more rational than you!â Xu Yuan held her wrist tightly.ââStop fooling around, okay?
Go back with Mommy, I can give you time to be sad! But you canât do anything to hurt yourself because of him again. Time will fade away!â
Zuo Yuejiang stood by the car door and suddenly looked at Xu Yuan.
Before making a big mistake?
That nightâ¦I almost made a big mistake that nightâ¦
However, he still left halfway through. Even though he was already at the end of his rope and couldnât take it anymore, he still left.
Rationally?
Haha.
Zuo Yue did not say a word. Xu Yuan saw that she was thinking about something, but at least she did not struggle to drive to look for someone else. She forcefully pulled her into her car and helped her fasten her seatbelt.âBe good. Mom will bring you back. Leave the car here for now.â
Zuo Yue remained silent. She sat quietly in the car and closed her eyes. Just as Xu Yuan was about to get into the car, Zuo Yue suddenly rolled down the window and threw her phone out.
The phone smashed into the hard and cold ground and shattered. The screen flickered twice and turned completely black.
Xu Yuan was stunned. She saw her action and then saw Zuo Yue quietly sitting in the car and closing the window. She thought about it but did not say anything.
If she wanted to vent, she could do so. She could smash her phone or anything else. As long as she did not see Xu Chengfeng again, as long as the situation ended when it should, even if Zuo Yue wanted to burn down a house now, it was a small matter compared to an immoral love.
Xu Yuan sighed faintly. Anhao was in trouble in the country, and Zuo Yue was not at peace either. It was as if a few strands of her hair had turned white overnight, but she did not have the energy to persuade her too much. The only thing she could do was to protect her daughter well and not let her daughter walk down the path of no return.
As they drove back to Los Angeles City, Xu Yuan kept thinking of any way to comfort Zuo Yue.
However, Zuo Yue remained silent. She did not lose her temper with her mother, nor was she in a cold war. She just did not speak.
Zuo Yue did not cry either. After throwing away her phone, she quietly leaned against the passenger seat. Her eyes kept looking at all the streets passing by outside the car window. Her eyes did not move at all, as if they were empty, full, or detached. However, all her senses were still there. She could not lie to herself or anyone else.
The only thing he knew wasâ¦
Xu Chengfeng had really left.
He left without any precautions.
Xu Yuan stopped the car at the Zuo familyâs house. Seeing that Zuo Yue was still standing there, she reached out and gently placed her hand on hers.âChild, donât blame Mommy.â
Zuo Yue pulled her hand away from her hand. After a long while, she said softly,ââNo wonder.â
After saying that, Zuo Yue directly got off the car and quietly entered the Zuo family. When she met a few servants in the house who greeted her, she was no longer the usual smiling lady who greeted everyone. She silently walked through the hall as if she did not see anyone and was about to return to her room.
Seeing the dejected look on Zuo Yueâs face, Grandpa Zuo asked her coldly,ââWhere did he go? What time is it? Everyone was waiting for you during lunchtime just now, but you suddenly ran out without even saying hello? Wang Ma specially made your favorite dish. Youâre too insensibleâ¦â
Zuo Yue paused for a moment, lowered her eyes, and turned to look at Old Master Zuo.ââHelp me apologize to Wang Ma.â
Old Master Zuo was speechless. He looked at Zuo Yue in shock.
Xu Yuan chased after him, but Zuo Yue had already walked out from the back door. Old Master Zuo looked at Xu Yuan and asked curiously,ââWhat happened to her?â
Xu Yuan was helpless.â Itâs nothing. A young lady at her age is a little hurt in her relationship. Dad, stop talking to her for the time being. Otherwise, Iâm afraid she wonât be able to take it emotionally.ââ
Old Master Zuo immediately poked the ground with his walking stick.ââTheyâre all so old. They even have relationship problems! Are you forcing me to die?â
Xu Yuan was not in the mood to argue with the old man and chased after him. However, Zuo Yue had already returned to her room.
Zuo Yueâs door was tightly shut. She sat on the sofa in front of the window. The kitten that she usually liked to hold in her arms was circling around her legs. Zuo Yue was not in the mood to hold it and only looked at the sky outside the window.
Indeed, she would not blame her mother.
When she found out that she had developed feelings for her uncle that she shouldnât have, her mother didnât break down or scold her loudly. Instead, she tried her best to minimize the damage.
She knew how much her mother had taught her.
She would not blame anyone, nor would she hate anyone.
If she really hated him, she could only hate herself for falling in love with a man who could be so cruel.
If she really hated him, she could only hate herself for not noticing that Xu Chengfeng had the intention to leave after so many days.
If she really hated him, she would hate herself for falling in love with that person.
Completely gone?
Would he never appear in front of her again?
Would he never appear in Los Angeles again?
Would he not even come to America?
Zuo Yueâs hands were hidden in her sleeves and clenched into fists. Her palm was bleeding from the nails, but she did not seem to feel any pain.
âMeow ~â
The kitten rubbed against her legs affectionately and tried to jump into her arms. Zuo Yue suddenly stood up, took off her clothes and went straight into the bathroom.
She turned on the cold water and poured it on her body. She opened her eyes and allowed the water to hurt her eyes. She allowed her body to gradually freeze as if she had fallen into an icy river. She allowed everything to freeze bit by bit. She allowed the icy water to drench her from head to toeâ¦
