Zuo Yue nodded and turned around to look for Xu Chengfeng. However, just as she turned around and walked to the door, she saw that Xu Chengfeng had already arrived.
However, he obviously did not have any intention of explaining his late arrival. He only glanced at Zuo Yue, who had specially dressed up a little, and his gaze moved away from her face. He walked in beside her.
Zuo Yue stood rooted to the spot. She recalled what he had said when he drove back in the afternoon. She remembered that she had not spoken to him since she got out of the car.
Was it because she was in the Xu family that he was too lazy to even greet her?
Zuo Yue turned around and saw that because Xu Chengfeng had arrived, her grandfatherâs expression changed again.ââSince you donât want to stay in the Xu family, donât come again in the future. Our Xu family doesnât lack such a person. Didnât he want to leave? Why arenât you leaving yet?â
Xu Chengfengâs cold gaze fell on Old Master Xu and he sneered,ââIf you werenât so angry that you had a cerebral hemorrhage and were hospitalized again, I would really leave tonight.â
âYou!â
âDad! Donât be angry, donât be angry. Chengfeng only came back when he was in his teens. He hasnât been close to his family for so many years. He came back to visit because he knew that you were sick. Although his temper is still the same, at least he came back. Donât be angry. Take care of your health. Donât be angry anymore!âXu Yuan quickly leaned over to Old Master Xuâs side and used her hand to help him massage his heaving chest.
After saying that, Xu Yuan raised her head and looked at Xu Chengfeng, who had a cold and calm expression.âChengfeng, since youâre already here, sit down. There arenât many people in the Xu family. Dad only has two children, you and me. Other than me, thereâs only you in this family.â
Xu Chengfeng did not reply, but his eyes were clearly lukewarm. He did not really want to fulfill Old Master Xuâs wish of having a reunion dinner.
Other than them, the only other people in the main hall were the servants. Uncle Johnâs family was not here tonight, and there were no outsiders here.
Zuo Yue stood in front of the door and hesitated for a moment. Then, she suddenly turned around and ran to Xu Chengfeng. She smiled brightly and held his hand like a child.âUncle, go sit down at the dining table. Letâs eat together and accompany Grandpa!â
Xu Chengfengâs eyebrows twitched. He lowered his eyes and looked at Zuo Yue who was beside him. Zuo Yue was holding his hand, but it looked like a child trying to win over an elder.
Xu Yuan saw that Zuo Yue was so sensible and said,ââYes, sit down and have a meal. After this reunion dinner, if you plan to leave tomorrow, we wonât force you to stay. You know Dadâs temper too. Both you and your father are so stubborn. You should sit down and have a good meal for Zuo Yueâs sake.â
âWhoâs family with him? Ever since he returned to the Xu family, it had been less than a week since he came back to the Xu family. How could you expect him to stay here for a few more days? When did this kid ever treat this place as his home? Itâs already good enough that he doesnât anger me to death every time he comes back!âElder Xu said angrily.
Xu Chengfeng glanced at him. Zuo Yue was afraid that he would continue to be at odds with her grandfather, so she quickly grabbed his hand tightly. Her voice was pleading as she said in a very, very soft voice,âUncleâ¦â
Zuo Yueâs voice was delicate and soft, and her hand was still tightly hugging his arm. Xu Chengfeng frowned and turned around to say,ââTake your hands off me.â
To Xu Yuan, this sentence sounded like he did not even intend to give Zuo Yue face. She immediately said,ââChengfeng, just sit down and have a meal. After all, the blood of the Xu family flows in your veins. Although Dad has a bad temper, he still hopes that you can stayâ¦â
When he heard the words â Xu familyâs blood â, Xu Chengfengâs face had a cold smile for no reason. Zuo Yue saw that cold smile. Although she did not know what he was thinking, she still grabbed his arm tightly and pulled it down. She whispered,ââSit down, okay?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThatâs right. Look at how stubborn Zuo Yue was with you in the past. Now, sheâs already on such good terms with you. Sheâs already begging you so much, so you should give your niece some face.âXu Yuan said softly as she pushed the furious Old Master Xu to the main seat at the dining table.
Zuo Yue had already pulled Xu Chengfeng to the dining table and whispered,ââUncle, you sit here. Iâll sit next to you.â
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything, but he still sat down at the dining table under Zuo Yueâs pestering.
Zuo Yue happily looked up at Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan gave her a look of commendation, then smiled and asked the servant to bring up the unfinished dishes.
The dining table was very big, but there were only four of them eating together. The distance between everyone was not close. Zuo Yue could not sit too close to Xu Chengfeng, so she could only sit at the side.
Actually, she was very emotional. Her grandmother had passed away more than ten years ago, but Xu Chengfengâs mother did not seem to be her grandmother, but another woman.
This was what he had said before. Grandpa was already so old, but he still left the seed outside. Also, she did not know whether the so-called miscarriage was really a miscarriage or if he was deliberately hiding something.
The only thing she could understand was that her grandfather really wanted Xu Chengfeng to come back.
However, his uncle obviously did not intend to grant his wish.
The servant brought a bowl of medicinal soup that had been boiled over the fire for a long time to the old man. Xu Yuan was laughing and laughing at the side as she took a small bowl and poured some soup in front of him.â Father, Chengfeng has already decided to stay tonight. Please calm down and donât be angry anymore. Weâre all family, so thereâs no need to be so angry. This herbal dish was specially made for you by Chengfeng after he came back. He wanted you to nourish your body.â
âHmph, itâs good enough that he didnât curse me to die quickly.âOld Master Xuâs expression was still ugly as he looked at Xu Chengfeng, who was sitting opposite him with an expressionless face.ââI heard that your KG Group was listed in the US a few years ago. Are you looking down on the Xu familyâs assets now?â
Xu Chengfeng looked at Old Master Xu calmly.ââMore than ten years ago, when the Xu family lured me back with the excuse of the familyâs wealth, I already said that I was not interested in the Xu familyâs things. Not only did I not like them now, I also did not like them more than ten years ago.â
âYou!â Elder Xu slammed the table hard, causing the huge European-style dining table to shake.
Zuo Yue had never seen her grandfather lose his temper like this before, and seeing Xu Chengfengâs attitude, she did not know if she should interrupt. If she really interrupted, what should she say?
She quickly picked up some food and placed it on the cutlery in front of Xu Chengfeng. She whispered,âUncle, letâs eat.â
