Chapter 1190: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (275)
She really wished that she had a mental problem. It was better than facing so many cold and thorough people in reality.
“If you’re focused on the relationship between my brother and Anhao now, you can take advantage of the fact that you don’t have to go to the company and fly back to China to take a look.”Zuo Yue choked.
Xu Yuan frowned and turned her head to look at Zuo Yue.””What nonsense are you talking about? Do you really think I’m that free? If I wasn’t worried about you, I wouldn’t have temporarily pulled away from all my work and stayed at home with you all day.”
“Also, regarding your brother and Anhao, I believe that your brother knows what he’s doing. He knows how to find his wife, but you’re different. You’re still confused.”
Confused?
If falling in love with Xu Chengfeng was really a muddle-headed thing, she would rather stay muddle-headed for the rest of her life.
Seeing that Zuo Yue had stopped talking and was sitting on the bed in a daze, Xu Yuan leaned over and looked at her lovingly.””If you’re too bored at home, Mom can accompany you out for a walk. You can go shopping or have coffee, but you have to promise not to leave my sight.”
“Forget it, I don’t want to go anywhere.”Zuo Yue bent her legs and hugged them as she leaned against the headboard.
Seeing her listless appearance, Xu Yuan sighed but did not say anything else.”I’ll come back in the afternoon to accompany you. Your grandfather has returned from vacation with his old comrades these two days. I heard that he wasn’t feeling well on the way back. I might have to accompany your grandfather to the hospital.”
Zuo Yue sat there as if she did not hear him. She did not nod or say anything. Xu Yuan looked at her for a while. Although her heart ached, she knew that it would take time to heal the wounds in her heart from what had happened three years ago and three years later, so she did not force her anymore. She turned around and walked out, giving Zuo Yue some quiet space.

Half a month later…
“I heard that Anhao has moved to the apartment in Han City. I think this young couple will be able to return to the United States soon.”
Because of Old Master Zuo’s return, the house was much livelier. They had to gather together for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. No matter how much Zuo Yue avoided it, she had no choice but to come out and eat dinner with everyone because Old Master Zuo was angry.
In order to lighten up the atmosphere, Xu Yuan started to find a topic to talk about. She started to talk about Zuo Hancheng and Anhao. However, the old man did not say anything because he did not have a good impression of Anhao. Zuo Yue also kept her head lowered and ate quietly without interrupting. @@novelbin@@
In the end, it turned out that Xu Yuan and Father Zuo were constantly discussing Anhao and Zuo Hancheng. They were even discussing that they had been calling to urge them to come back to the United States as soon as possible.
Zuo Yue had always treated herself as an invisible person. She only wanted to get up and leave after eating. However, just as she was about to put down her bowl, Old Master Zuo suddenly put down his cutlery and looked at Zuo Yue.”Why is Zuo Yue so quiet?”
” Huh?” Zuo Yue suddenly looked up.” Ah?”
“Usually, you’re the one who likes to make threatening gestures at home. You always have all kinds of topics to talk about at the dinner table. I remember that three or two years ago, you were the one who often found topics to make everyone happy at the dinner table.”
On the other side, Xu Yuan was a little embarrassed for a moment, but she still smiled.”Dad, Zuo Yue is my child after all. It’s normal for her to inherit some of my humor. Can’t I be more humorous too?”
Old Master Zuo glanced at Xu Yuan and did not say anything. He turned to Zuo Yue and said,””I suddenly realized that you’re becoming quieter and quieter. Sometimes, I almost forgot that you still exist at home. I always thought that you were studying in Boston, but you’re actually sitting here.”
“Grandpa.” Zuo Yue put down the cutlery in her hand and said,” I’ve just grown up. There aren’t as many topics to talk about as when I was young.””
“Grow up?” “You’ve grown up and become sensible?” The old man snorted. I think your brother is already 30 years old. He’s not that mature yet. Isn’t the things he does the opposite of me? Nothing has ever gone my way. Back then, I almost died of anger when I married Gu Anhao. It wasn’t easy for us to break up, but now I’m actually looking for that little girl again.”
Zuo Yue frowned when she heard that. Suddenly, she let out a sigh of relief and said unhappily,””Don’t tell me that we juniors can only be considered mature and sensible if we satisfy the elders?”
Hearing the impulse in Zuo Yue’s words, Old Master Zuo glanced at her coldly.””What’s wrong? Are you still going to explode? Gu Anhao and Hancheng aren’t here, so stop showing off.”
“Grandpa, it’s really not about my sister-in-law and my brother now.”Zuo Yue said angrily,”If you knew who the man I like is, I’m afraid this matter wouldn’t be as big as mine.””
“Zuo Yue, stop talking. Can’t you tell that your grandfather is concerned about you? When did your grandfather ever talk to you like this?”Father Zuo secretly glared at her, hinting at her to keep her mouth shut.
“Yeah, she cares about me and even scolds my brother and sister-in-law at the same time. Isn’t it because my sister-in-law’s background is unknown and she doesn’t have a good family background compared to the granddaughter of the Cheng family that Grandpa likes? Wasn’t it just that Sister-in-law hadn’t been obedient by Grandpa’s side since she was young? It’s enough that you like Chengxin. Why do you care about our grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law?”” That’s right, Grandpa.” Zuo Yue said while laughing coldly.” I’ve fallen in love with someone that none of you should have fallen in love with. You should be even angrier, right?””
“Zuo Yue!” Xu Yuan also looked at her sternly.
Zuo Yue ignored him.
She had long disliked her grandfather’s bad temper. Did he think that his entire family’s children and grandchildren were just soldiers in front of him decades ago, so he had to scold and scold them like this?
He could do whatever he wanted with his grandson’s marriage, but he always liked to interfere. Since he liked to be angry so much, he might as well add fuel to the fire. Even if he was willful, it was better for the grandfather and grandson to be willful together. Let’s see who could anger the other to death!
“What person you shouldn’t like?” He finally noticed the unusual tone in Father Zuo and Mother Zuo’s words. Old Master Zuo’s attention was no longer on the matter of being angry with Zuo Yue. Instead, he turned his eyes and looked at Father Zuo and Mother Zuo with a questioning gaze.
“Dad, don’t listen to her nonsense. Zuo Yue has been in a relationship recently, but because we didn’t allow it, we locked her at home and didn’t let her go out.”Xu Yuan said with a smile.
Zuo Yue sneered and turned to leave without explaining.
What do you think?
