Chapter 269 - 269: Don’t Kiss, It Itches (4)
“Dad, you used this sentence to drive Hancheng away. After five years, he finally agreed to return to the Zuo family. Do you want him to leave as soon as he comes back?”Father Zuo immediately frowned, his expression slightly unhappy.
Laozi Zuo turned around and walked towards the hall where the banquet was held.”l mean what I say. Hancheng, I have indeed been training you to be the only heir of our Zuo family since you were born, but don’t forget that your two uncles are still in the company in England. If you continue to disobey me, it’s not certain who will get the things of the Zuo family in the end.”
After saying that, Old Master Zuo walked into the hall angrily.
Father Zuo shook his head and Mother Zuo sighed. At the same time, she held
Anhao’s hand and patted it gently,””Don’t be afraid.”
Anhao turned around and looked at Zuo Hancheng. She saw that he did not mind the old man’s words. Although she did not know what all the assets of the Zuo family were, she could not easily abandon the inheritance rights that should have belonged to him.
Although Anhao knew that the old man was so angry because of her existence, she had already confirmed her thoughts before she came here. No matter what, since she was in this position now, she had to protect everything that belonged to her, including not letting Zuo Hancheng protect her blindly. When it was time to step forward, she would not hesitate.
However, Anhao did not say anything. After looking at Zuo Hancheng for a while, she retracted her gaze and asked Zuo Hancheng’s mother who was sitting beside her,””Will Grandpa really do that?”
Xu Yuan shook her head and chuckled.” It doesn’t matter whether the old man
will do this or not. The final outcome is the choice of Hancheng City. The Zuo family is big. There are many things that are more complicated than you can imagine.” In fact, we all know the reason why Han Cheng refused to come back in the past five years. We never forced him to do anything.”
Anhao had never expected that as the daughter-in-law of Madam Zuo, Mother Zuo would be so open-minded.
Father Zuo didn’t say anything. He was just a little helpless because of his grandfather’s attitude after he left. Seeing that Xu Yuan was comforting Anhao, he didn’t say anything more to Anhao. He looked at Zuo Hancheng, who had a calm expression on his face, and said, The old man has always valued you the most. Although he said such harsh words to you five years ago, he didn’t really change his will during the five years you were away. Now, although I don’t know if the old man will really do this, but since you have chosen this path, you and Anhao will face everything together.”‘
“I know what to do. Don’t worry.” Zuo Hancheng said calmly.
Father Zuo sighed.” It’s good that you know your limits. However, the old man’s obsession with the precious daughter of the Cheng family is also a headache. In the past five years, Chengxin came to visit him every few days and called him ‘Grandpa’ in front of the old man. The old man’s heart almost blossomed because of her and he treated her as his granddaughter-in-law. Therefore, you should understand his disappointment more or less. After all, you know the old man’s personality very well. Stubborn is secondary. What’s important is that your uncles have indeed planned to come back and get a share of the profits in recent years.”
Zuo Hancheng did not say anything after hearing that. He only nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Seeing that he knew what he was thinking, Father Zuo stood up and said, “Alright, go and eat. Chengxin is here today too. Anhao, don’t take it to heart no matter how much the old man favors Chengxin during dinner.”
“Don’t worry, I’m very ambitious. The sudden setbacks and pressure in front of me won’t break me for the time being. “Anhao also stood up.
Xu Yuan held Anhao’s hand and said with a smile,””Yes, Anhao is very smart. Although it’s my first time meeting her, I know her personality. She’s mischievous and smart.”
Anhao’s face was a little hot, and she smiled awkwardly.””Aiya, don’t tease me. Back then, I was out of my mind to dare to talk to you like that on the phone.”
“Alright, I know your character. Zuo Yue has also told me about you. You can pretend to be quiet and obedient in front of the old master, but in front of your father and me, you just have to let go of your true nature.”
Xu Yuan then grabbed Anhao’s hand and said, “”1 know you’re a short-tempered child, but no matter what the old man says during dinner later, you have to be patient. We will help you in everything, so don’t take the initiative to run into the old man’s gun.”
“Yes, yes, I’ll remember it.” Anhao smiled.
Xu Yuan looked at her kindly, but she looked into her eyes as if she was teasing her.’”‘Child, you called me mom once and then stopped. How much do you hate calling me mom?”
“No, it’s not… I… I’m not used to it.” Anhao smiled awkwardly and called out carefully,” “Mom.”
Only then did Xu Yuan let go of her hand in satisfaction and return it to Zuo
Hancheng, who was walking over. When she saw Zuo Hancheng holding Anhao’s hand, she turned around in a good mood and gave Father Zuo a look. It was obvious that they both liked Anhao.
Father Zuo didn’t say much, but he was very indulgent towards his wife’s preferences. He nodded and the two of them took the lead to walk into the hall in front.
Anhao returned to Zuo Hancheng’s side and felt his warm hand firmly on hers the moment he held her hand.
She looked up at him, only to see his elegant brows slightly move. Suddenly, his other hand reached over and caressed her lips.
Anhao shivered from his touch and snapped out of her daze. She then remembered that her lips had been swollen the whole time.
No wonder the old man’s expression was uglier than when he first saw her. No wonder Father Zuo and Mother Zuo’s eyes were so ambiguous even though they didn’t mention much.
She immediately raised her hand and wiped her mouth again, but she still felt a faint warm and numb feeling on her mouth. Could it still be swollen?
Anhao was glaring at him coquettishly when Zuo Yue’s voice suddenly came from behind,””Tsk tsk tsk…
Zuo Yue sighed as she walked past the two of them like a wandering soul. She did not even look at them. She only walked over hurriedly with her back facing them. As she walked, she said,”Showing off your love as if no one else was around… Too much…
Before she finished speaking, Zuo Yue’s figure had already floated into the hall in front.
Anhao was left blushing, but Zuo Hancheng ignored her blushing face and held her hand as he walked over.
It turned out that the hall opposite was the place where the banquet was held.
Butler Uncle Chen was listening to the old man’s conversation beside him. When he saw that they had all come, he turned around and smiled politely at them.
Apparently, although Uncle Chen was the legendary butler in the Zuo residence, he only listened to the old man’s words..
