After returning to the Xu family, Zuo Yue could not think about it anymore, but Xu Chengfengâs words were deeply engraved in her heart.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
His reminders made her feel ashamed every time, but she couldnât seem to find anything to refute him.
Could it be that in his eyes, her closeness to him was gradually becoming abnormal?
She clearly felt that her feelings were not really twisted to the point where she should not have such thoughts about her uncle, but his words still made her feel uncomfortable for a long time.
After getting off the car, Zuo Yue went straight to her room and did not say another word to Xu Chengfeng. However, when she returned to her room, she threw the shopping bags in her hands onto the bed. She was too lazy to change them. She lay on the bed without moving and gradually fell asleep.
When Xu Yuan heard a knock on the door and walked in, she saw that the girl who had promised to go back to her room to change her clothes and go to see her grandfather was actually asleep. She immediately walked over and took a look at her. She sighed softly and did not wake her up. She took the blanket beside her and was about to cover her when Zuo Yue suddenly woke up.
When she saw Xu Yuan standing beside her, Zuo Yue instantly remembered the reason why she came back to her room. She quickly sat up and rubbed her messy hair. She looked innocently at Xu Yuan, whose eyes were filled with helplessness and indulgence towards her.âMom, Iâm sorry. I took the bus home last night and didnât sleep well in the car, soâ¦â
âI know. Thatâs why I didnât plan to wake you up when I saw that you were asleep.âXu Yuan placed the blanket in her hands aside.ââSince youâre awake, get up and change your clothes. Your grandfatherâs condition is much better. Heâs waiting for you to go over and see him.â
âHas Uncle gone to see Grandpa now?â
Xu Yuanâs gaze was a little heavy, as if something had happened outside while Zuo Yue was asleep.
âYes, but as usual, it wasnât pleasant.âXu Yuan sighed.â What happened back then was indeed your grandfatherâs fault. Your uncle was not close to the Xu family. He came back this time because of you. Otherwise, even if your grandfather passed away, he would not have returned to the Xu family to take a look.â
âWhatâs wrong? What happened when he went to see his grandfather?âZuo Yue rolled up from the bed and grabbed her hair as she got off the bed. She turned around to wash her face and tidy her hair.
Xu Yuan did not say much. She only glanced at Zuo Yue and said,ââYour uncle wonât be staying in the Xu family for a few days. Donât you have a week off? Do you want to stay in Los Angeles and return to Boston after the holidays, or do you want to stay for two days like your uncle?â
Zuo Yue did not say anything. Xu Yuan stood at the side and watched her. After Zuo Yue was done packing, she turned around and picked up the dress she bought to change. Xu Yuan stood behind her and helped her tidy up the dress. She said with satisfaction,âYou usually donât like to wear dresses. Even if you donât wear dresses, itâs good to dress up like this. My daughter is so beautiful, but she has to make herself look like a wild child.â
âHow is it a wild child? Itâs called a trend.âZuo Yue laughed as she spoke. When the zipper on her back was pulled up, she turned around and said,ââMom, go back to Boston, and then Iâll see what happens to grandpa. Iâm not very clear about my uncleâs situation. I donât know if heâs willing to take me back.ââ
âYour uncle just doesnât have a good relationship with your grandfather. Weâre still siblings, so he wonât treat you any different. Donât worry about that. If you want to go back with him, Mom wonât stop you.âXu Yuan said as she looked at the beautifully dressed Zuo Yue in satisfaction.ââOur Zuo Yue is a big girl now. She looks so slim and charming. Your grandfather will definitely be happy to see her.â
âThen, letâs make a deal. I specially dressed up to make Grandpa happy, not for Uncle Johnâs little John.âZuo Yue emphasized before walking out.
Xu Yuan smiled.â You child. Mom just wants you to meet him, yet youâre so against it. Did you really get a boyfriend in Boston?ââ
Zuo Yue did not explain, but Xu Chengfengâs figure was reflected in her mind. She quickly dispersed the figure in her mind and quickly walked out of the door.
After the old man of the Xu family was hospitalized due to a cerebral hemorrhage, his health had been fluctuating. He slept the entire morning and only felt better in the afternoon.
However, because Zuo Yue had slept, it was already dinner time when she came out. She went straight to the main hall in front.
A few servants were busy in the main hall. At this moment, Old Master Xu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed in. The dining table was already filled with all kinds of dishes. It looked very sumptuous, but Old Master Xuâs expression was not particularly good at this moment.
After he was pushed in, Elder Xu looked around the room. He did not see Xu Chengfeng, and his expression turned even uglier.
Zuo Yue saw that her grandfatherâs temper was still the same as before, but she could tell that he was angry with Xu Chengfeng. Although she did not particularly want to get close to her grandfather when he was angry, she still walked over.
âDad, Zuo Yue, that useless girl, just went back to her room to change her clothes, but she fell asleep on the bed and only came out at this time.âXu Yuan teased.
Old Master Xuâs gaze then landed on Zuo Yue. When he saw Zuo Yue, whom he had not seen for a year or two, his eyes lit up and he smiled,ââOur Zuo Yue has already grown into a slender and elegant lady. Come, let grandpa take a good look at you.â
Seeing that her grandfather was still smiling, Zuo Yue smiled and walked closer. She called out sweetly,ââGrandpa! Grandpa, you still look so good. As long as you listen to the doctor and nurse yourself back to health, it wonât be long before you can stand up again!â
âGirl, your mouth is so sweet. I know my own body well.âOld Master Xu smiled as he took her hand and patted it gently.âHowever, before I see my good granddaughter get married, I canât bear to leave. No matter what, I have to live a few more years.â
âGrandpa, you can live for at least another 30 to 40 years. A few years is not enough.âZuo Yue smiled sweetly as she bent down beside him and said,ââHow many old people in their hundreds are still alive and healthy in this world? My grandfather definitely has a longer life than anyone else. As long as you recuperate well, you will definitely not only see me get married, but maybe in another 30 years, you will also see my children get married.â
Although there werenât many people in the main hall, the entire hall instantly burst into laughter.
Xu Yuan also smiled and said,â This girl is full of nonsense. Go and call your uncle over. We can eat soon.â
