The door behind him slammed shut again.
Zuo Yueâs head was covered with a white towel that smelled of shower gel. Her vision was dark, but her mind was in a mess. She first thought about how this man had been seriously injured a month ago. Although a month was enough for the wound to heal, he was still so strong. She was actually thrown out by him?!
However, she didnât see the wound on his lower abdomen clearly in the bathroom just now. She only had a vague feeling that his injury seemed to have completely recovered. However, she didnât notice that the scar left by the gunshot wound on his lower abdomen had already covered her eyes because she accidentally saw the lower part.
That place under that manâ¦
Zuo Yueâs nose was filled with the fragrance of the shower gel. She suddenly came back to her senses! The towel on her head was right in front of her face, and it seemed to be wrapping around his body!
Zuo Yue suddenly pulled off the towel on her head. She knew that Xu Chengfeng had probably locked the door from the inside. She turned around to see if there was anything to smash the door! She wanted to kill him!
âZuo Yue, itâs so late. Why arenât you sleeping? What are you doing outside your uncleâs room?â
Zuo Yueâs mother, Xu Yuan, suddenly walked in from outside. When she entered the door, she saw Zuo Yueâs messy hair and an expression that looked like she was about to explode. She looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Zuo Yue was speechless.
The anger in her chest seemed to have died down in an instant. She resisted the urge to turn around and smash the door. She glanced at the shopping bag in Xu Yuanâs hand and said,âMom, itâs so late, why are you still going out to buy things? Are you really at ease to leave me alone at home?â
Xu Yuan could hear Zuo Yueâs displeasure, but she walked in with a smile.ââIf it were any other man, of course I wouldnât be at ease. Thatâs your uncle. Why would I be worried?â
âI I can kill you.â
â Besides, youâre Chengfengâs niece. Even if the two of you are not related by blood, Chengfeng might not be interested in a crazy girl like you who doesnât have any steadiness at all. He likes quiet and has always hated chattering girls. So Zuo Yue, after you go to your uncleâs place, you have to learn to restrain your temper, understand?â
Zuo Yue felt as if there were firecrackers burning in her chest. If she continued to talk to her mother, she would probably explode on the spot.
âIf you want to stay, go stay with him yourself! Iâm not going! Iâd rather live in school than go with him!âZuo Yue angrily threw the pajamas in her hands onto the sofa.
âIsnât your school full this year? There are so many international students coming from abroad. As a local American student, you should stay outside obediently. Moreover, you have no choice but to go now. Iâve already checked out of your room.â
âRetreat? When did he quit? You clearly just told me this afternoonâ¦â
âJust now, when I went out to buy things, I met the landlord of your apartment. After explaining the situation to the landlord, they agreed. I also said that I would help you pack your luggage and move out within two days.â
âMom! No matter how disobedient I was at home in the past and how much I made you and Dad angry, you wouldnât go so far as to return my apartment just like that, right? Iâm already an adult. I have my personal freedom. I donât want to be with that Xuâ¦â
Xu Yuan immediately glanced at her with dissatisfaction. Zuo Yue immediately changed the way she addressed her with a face full of unwillingness.âI mean, I donât want to live with that uncle. No matter what, heâs a man. Donât you think itâs especially inconvenient for me to live with him?â
âDo you think your uncle is willing to live with you?âXu Yuan smiled.â Iâm just letting you stay at his place for the time being. Chengfeng has a villa near your school. He doesnât go back often. Iâm arranging for you to stay at his villa. Isnât it much more spacious than this small apartment? However, because he promised to help me take care of you, he might go back more often than usual in the future. But donât worry, your uncle knows what to do. Youâre a big girl, of course he knows how to keep his distance. Donât think about all that nonsense and stay in Boston for school!â
What distance? She saw something she shouldnât have seen in the bathroom just nowâ¦
It was just the first day and she was already like this. If she really moved to his place, how was she going to live her life in the future?
âOh, right.â Xu Yuan suddenly opened the shopping bag she had just put down.ââI couldnât fall asleep. When I went out, I went to the nearby department store and bought you a dress and a few sets of clothes suitable for students. You usually wear those jeans or baseball uniforms. Isnât it good to dress like a little girl? Since she had already grown up and was about to slowly learn to live independently, she should change her usual clothes and dress up. She should slowly learn to be a little feminine and not always run around like a child who had not grown up.â
Zuo Yue listened to her motherâs nagging, and her ears were about to grow calluses. She endured the various torments in her heart and finally picked up the shopping bag. She nodded and bowed as she said,âI know, I know. Mom, can you let me go? I just came to Boston to study. Iâm not getting married. Do you have toâ¦â
âYouâve really been spoiled by me. Iâll get your uncle to discipline you in the future!â
Zuo Yue wanted to roll her eyes when she heard the words âlittle uncleâ. She tried her best to smile.âIâll listen to you in the future. Can you let me continue to live hereâ¦â
Mother Zuo also smiled at her, but her face instantly turned cold.ââNo.â
Zuo Yue was speechless. Shrugging his shoulders, he said with a pained expression,ââMom, youâre sending a sheep into the tigerâs mouth. You donât even know your own brother, and youâre entrusting me to him. What if he sells me?â
âItâs good to sell it. Anyway, youâve never made me worry. If you really sell it, Iâll be relieved.âMother Zuo said seriously.
Zuo Yue pursed her lips and looked like she was about to cry.
âAlright, stop fooling around. Hurry up and take a shower and rest early. We still have to pack up and move out tomorrow.âMother Zuo smiled and patted her head.
When Zuo Yue heard about bathing, she looked at the towel on her arm and her expression became even more indescribable.
âMom, I wantâ¦â
âYou canât think about anything. Iâve spoiled you too much all these years. Iâve let you do whatever you want. This time, I definitely wonât condone your willfulness. Zuo Yue, if you dare to raise conditions with me again, Iâll freeze the card in your hand from tomorrow onwards. When you donât have money to spend, youâll know the benefits of having a family to take care of you.â
â.. This move of yours is a little ruthless!â
âSigh, in order to let my daughter learn how to live independently outside, and at the same time, let her have someone to help take care of her in any emergency, I really went through a lot of trouble.âMother Mother Zuo raised her eyebrows.
