Hearing Mother Zuo’s words, although the awkwardness on Chengxin’s face eased a little, she still looked at Zuo Hancheng unwillingly because her words were too clear.

However, Zuo Hancheng had just returned and was the focus of everyone’s attention at the dining table. Yet, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him and picked up some of Anhao’s favorite dishes.

“Hancheng, don’t you think you should say something?”Old Master Zuo looked at him coldly.

Zuo Hancheng placed quite a few dishes in Anhao’s bowl before he put down the Chinese chopsticks in his hand. He looked up calmly and said,’”‘lt’s a family banquet after all. It’s rare for everyone to be together, so we just need to be happy and satisfied. We’re the adjudicators of the Zuo’s Group outside, so we have to be careful with our words and actions to avoid being caught by our subordinates or the media. Now that I’m rarely home, do I have to specially prepare some speeches?”

“You brat, you came back just to go against me?” Old Master Gong was furious.”

Zuo Hancheng’s gaze was gentle.” Grandpa, you kept saying that you wanted to see your granddaughter-in-law and your great-grandson. I thought that you had let go of your past obsession, but now you’re the first one to change your

attitude. What kind of attitude do you want me to use to face this so-called

family banquet?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng’s gaze only swept across Chengxin’s face indifferently, but it did not stop at all. It fell directly on the old man’s face.

“Why isn’t Chengxin having a family banquet here? She’s your Grandpa Cheng’s precious granddaughter. How many skills did you learn from me and your

Grandpa Cheng when you were young? You and Chengxin grew up together. Although her surname is Cheng, she’s no different from our family!”The old man frowned. His voice was very serious. It was obvious that he was complaining about Chengxin’s injustice.

Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly.” If Grandfather sees her as his god-granddaughter, of course there’s no problem. But why did Grandfather ask Miss Cheng to come to the Zuo family today? What you have in mind is your business, but Anhao and I will not allow any external interference or mistakes in our marriage.”

“Hancheng, I don’t want to interfere with your marriage with Miss Gu.”Chengxin, who had always been the cause of conflict, finally spoke. Her voice was sweet and soft, neither high nor low. It sounded like she was a socialite who had been strictly educated since she was young.

“It’s just that I haven’t seen you in five years. Grandpa said that you would be back today and asked me to come over for a family banquet. I didn’t expect it to cause such a misunderstanding.”

Then, Chengxin nodded at them.””Since I’m already sitting here, if I leave halfway, it’ll make the atmosphere even more awkward and it’ll be very impolite. Although Hancheng and Miss Gu might have misunderstood each other, I have been visiting the Zuo family to keep my grandfather company all these years. I came here today to visit my grandfather. I will not deliberately interfere in anyone’s marriage. Hancheng, my grandfather is right. You grew up with me, don’t you know my personality?”

Zuo Hancheng raised his handsome eyebrows lightly.”lt’s a good thing that you came to see Grandpa.”

His answer was simple but he did not respond to Chengxin’s main points.

Chengxin’s eyes were a little awkward, but her eyes were still lingering on Zuo Hancheng.

“You said that you were just here to see Grandpa. From the moment you came in, your eyes have been wandering around my brother.”Zuo Yue muttered at the side.

“Zuo Yue! Why are you becoming more and more insensible?”This time, it was Father Zuo who spoke. He looked at Zuo Yue seriously.”Shut up and eat your food. If you’re full, go back to your room. Don’t talk nonsense here!”

Zuo Yue let out a low ” tsk ” and did not say anything else. She was not stupid. She could hear that her father had come out to reprimand her. It was much better than her grandfather scolding her in anger.

Since her parents didn’t plan to fight so badly, she had already said enough anyway. She simply closed her mouth and picked up the ribs to continue Zuo’s mother, Xu Yuan, smiled faintly and said,” Miss Cheng, you know Zuo

Yue’s personality. The two of you have been quarreling since you were young. Zuo Yue’s mouth has always been so unruly. Don’t take it to heart.”‘

“Auntie, don’t worry. I won’t hold it against Zuo Yue.”Chengxin smiled, but she did not dare to look at Zuo Hancheng anymore. Instead, she turned to look at the old man for help.

Old Master Zuo was so angry that he couldn’t speak for half a day. When he felt Chengxin’s wronged gaze, he frowned and glared at Gu Anhao, who was the center of the conversation but didn’t say anything to let him catch her.

“Dad, Hancheng is a young man after all. Young people’s love and marriage are their own choices. They have their own ideas and reasons.”Father Zuo suddenly said something before the old man was about to make things difficult for him.

” What do they know? They only know how to do things according to their own temperaments. They don’t care about the concern of their families and the most perfect arrangements!”The old man snorted.

Xu Yuan sat at the side with a faint smile. Seeing that Chengxin was indeed very embarrassed, she reached out and patted her hand gently to comfort her.

Chengxin smiled. Although she did not dare to look at Zuo Hancheng frequently, she quietly looked up at Gu Anhao.

Anhao looked at the various delicacies in front of her. Although she knew they were delicious just by looking and smelling them, it was rare that she was not in the mood to eat them today. Her entire heart was hanging in the air because of the seemingly calm but actually smoky conversation at the table.

She reached out and placed her hand on Zuo Hancheng’s leg. He held her hand and patted her gently to comfort her. He lowered his eyes and said to her,””Eat in peace. Otherwise, you’ll be hungry at night. I’ll have to ask the kitchen to cook for you.”

Anhao stuck out her tongue.”

Zuo Hancheng glanced at her with a half-smile.””Not only have I shouted it before, but I’ve shouted it quite a number of times.”

It seemed like… There really was such a thing…

Anhao was embarrassed. She secretly pinched his hand under the table. Zuo Hancheng smiled and held her naughty hand. He said in a low voice,”lf you don’t eat it now, it’ll get cold.”

“If you say that about me, everyone will think that I’m a foodie who only cares about eating. It’s too embarrassing.”

Anhao’s voice was very low, but everyone at the table still heard her. Zuo Hancheng’s mother and father could not help but laugh. Zuo Yue almost burst out laughing and secretly gave Zuo Hancheng a thumbs up.

She did not expect that her brother, Zuo Hancheng, who was usually serious, would show off his affection today. It was really amazing!

“Anhao, I heard that you’re just pregnant. You don’t have to worry about so much. It’s more important to absorb more nutrients. Hurry up and eat. Everyone has already eaten a lot, but you haven’t moved your chopsticks much.”Mother Zuo, Xu Yuan, said with a kind smile..
