Just as she left Zuo Yueâs room, Anhao heard a servant say,ââMr. Zuo has returned to the city.â
Anhao immediately walked out of the secluded attic behind the manor where Zuo Yue was. She did not know what was wrong with her. She was in the Zuo family and should be at ease with him, but she had been wanting to see him for the past two days. Even if it was just a glance, she just wanted to make sure that he was still the same Zuo Hancheng as she remembered.
After a few twists and turns, they finally arrived at the hall of the manor. As soon as they entered, they heard a â bang â. It sounded like a walking stick had been smashed onto the ground.
Anhao stopped in her tracks and quickly walked in. Sure enough, she saw the old man sitting in a wheelchair with an ugly expression on his face. Almost half of his body was covered with a thin blanket. Although he had been taking supplements for the past few days since he was discharged from the hospital, he still looked much older than before. Not only did his complexion look bad, but even his lips did not look very healthy.
However, his anger was as great as ever.
âXu Yuan, itâs your good brotherâs business what he likes to do, but you have to control him well. Donât let him involve our Zuo family in this mess! Also, about Zuo Yue, if that wretched girl doesnât want her face anymore, get her out of the Zuo family. I donât want such a shameless and disrespectful granddaughter!â
The old man was furious. Anhao finally saw clearly that it was him who threw his crutch in the direction of Zuoâs mother, Xu Yuan, and father. Although he didnât hit anyone, he seemed to have used all his strength.
If it really hit Mrs. Zuoâs body, it would definitely hurt even if it didnât hurt.
Xu Yuan had obviously become much more haggard recently. She did not refute the old manâs complaints, but Father Zuo pulled Mother Zuo behind him and said with a heavy expression,ââDad, Xu Yuan is the daughter-in-law youâve praised for more than 30 years. Are you going to shatter your relationship with her now? That walking stick was also a gift from Xu Yuan!â
The old manâs face was obviously scrunched up. It was obvious that he was gritting his teeth fiercely. However, because of Father Zuoâs words, he looked at the crutch on the ground that was not broken even after being thrown so hard. His eyes suddenly became sad.âSheâs indeed a good wife, a good wife who canât be found fault with. But who would have thought that your brother, who was once adopted wrongly and then sent back to the Xu family, would one day do such a ridiculous thing? Zuo Yue is my biological granddaughter! My biological granddaughter has done such a thing against humanity. How can I face the ancestors of the Zuo family in the future?â
âWhen you encounter a problem, you only need to solve it from the root. Breaking crutches and cursing canât solve the problem.âSuddenly, Zuo Hanchengâs voice came from outside the door.
Anhao raised her head when she heard the sound. She saw Zuo Hancheng, who had not entered the hall just now, suddenly appear at the door. He had obviously heard the commotion from outside and was quite dissatisfied with the old manâs use of his walking stick to throw Father Zuo.
Anhao had just entered from the back door, so the old man had not noticed her yet. However, Zuo Hanchengâs gaze had already shifted to Anhao when he entered the room. The old man noticed Zuo Hanchengâs gaze and only then did he react. He suddenly turned around and saw Anhao standing behind him. His already ugly expression immediately darkened.âWhat are you doing here? Didnât I tell you to stay in your room in Hancheng when we returned to the Zuo familyâs house from the hospital? Didnât I already warn you not to appear in front of me?!â
âDad, Zuo Yue is in trouble now. Why are you venting your anger on Anhao? If Anhao hadnât been talking to Zuo Yue recently, do you think that Zuo Yue, that girl, would be able to keep her temper under control?âFather Zuoâs face turned ugly as he said,â Hancheng allowed Anhao to stay in the Zuo family because he trusted us. You hurt Anhao in front of Hancheng. Thatâs too much!ââ
The old man immediately raised his eyes and glared at Father Zuo coldly.âIâve never really acknowledged this granddaughter-in-law. What does it have to do with me whether sheâs hurt or not?â
He knew that the old man was angry. He was usually stubborn, and now he was even more unreasonable. He wanted to chase everyone away.
Father Zuo did not say anything more. He turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was walking towards Anhao.âHancheng, bring Anhao back to her room. You probably havenât had a good rest for the past two days. You guys go back to your room first.â
Zuo Hancheng was obviously very indifferent to the old man because of the rude words he had just said. He walked past the old man, completely ignoring the old manâs fiery gaze. When he walked to Anhao, he raised his hand to stroke her face. When he saw the dark circles under her eyes, he immediately looked at her with dissatisfaction.
Knowing that he was silently questioning why she didnât sleep well, Anhao couldnât say too much due to the current situation. She only explained softly,ââWhen I saw that you didnât come back last night, I stayed in Zuo Yueâs room with her. I fell asleep by her bed, but I didnât sleep very well.â
âSleep in my room tonight.â
Zuo Hancheng grabbed her shoulder and was about to take her away. The old man, who was ignored by him, immediately scolded angrily,ââYou dare to leave? Hancheng, you really donât care about me anymore, do you?!â
Just as Anhao was about to stop, Zuo Hancheng held her shoulders tightly and did not let her turn around. At the same time, he lowered his eyes and gave her a warning look, warning her not to use her passion in places she should not.
Anhao couldnât help but whisper,âGrandpa lost his temper at Mom just now â
âWith Dad around, nothing will happen.â Zuo Hancheng said calmly. At the same time, he glanced at Anhao as if there was no one else in the hall and said in a low voice,ââDonât you miss me?â
Zuo Hanchengâs voice was low, but he did not deliberately lower it. At this time, the hall was so quiet that almost everyone could hear Zuo Hanchengâs ambiguous and inexplicable words. Anhaoâs lips twitched instantly and she secretly threw him a look, meaning that there were so many people here, so he should restrain himself.
However, the angrier the old man was, the more Zuo Hancheng ignored her. He did not even care about the old manâs angry expression. He suddenly placed his palm on the back of her head and planted a gentle kiss on her hair. Then, he brought the shocked Anhao out of the back door.
When they reached the door, Anhaoâs face was still burning hot. She let Zuo Hancheng lead her outside. When the wind blew outside, she suddenly came back to her senses and asked,ââArenât you afraid that heâll have heart problems again if youâre so angry at grandfather â
Zuo Hanchengâs lips curled up in a lukewarm manner.âOld Masterâs heart is not as weak as you think.â
