As expected, Zuo Hancheng knew the old man’s weakness. While the old man was stunned, he gently pushed Anhao forward and let her get closer to the old man.
Anhao’s face tensed up. She walked to a distance of three to four meters in front of the old man and quickly stood still.
Just as Anhao was at a loss for words, Zuo Hancheng added,””Anhao isn’t a child. You can tell that she’s an adult. Besides, our marriage is legal. In addition, she’s just pregnant with a child. Grandpa, are you sure you want to give up this great-grandson that you’ve waited so long for?”
Old Master Zuo looked at Gu An up and down in disbelief. Anhao also couldn’t believe that Zuo Hancheng had lied.
His two sentences successfully made the old man so angry that he slammed the ground with his walking stick.
“Han Cheng, is this your repayment for my years of nurturing you?”
Old Master Zuo’s voice was no longer as loud and clear as before. He stared at
Zuo Hancheng with a pair of old but spirited eyes. He was not angry, but he
was stern. Anhao, who had always been smart, did not know what to say.
On the one hand, she was not pregnant at all, so she was not mentally prepared for what to do. Now that she saw her father’s expression, she felt that it was better to shut up and protect herself first.
“Grandfather’s wish in return is that I should have listened to your arrangements five years ago and married the Miss Cheng that you were satisfied with? Let her be your granddaughter-in-law?”
Old Master Zuo’s face turned ugly. He glared at him and said,””l’ve never forced you to do anything in my life, but you..
Anhao was a little confused as she listened. She also saw that Old Master Zuo’s eyes were filled with disappointment and hurt. She had no idea what happened between Zuo Hancheng and Old Master Zuo five years ago.
Was it not because of Rong Xue that Zuo Hancheng left the United States five years ago? Was it because of the Zuo family?
so…
Had she misunderstood something?
Just as she was in a daze, the butler, Uncle Chen, suddenly walked over.”Old Master, Miss Cheng is here. Old Master Zuo and Madam are still on the way. Should we eat now or wait?”
Old Master Zuo paused and looked at the butler coldly.””They won’t be back until midnight at the earliest. Are you waiting for them to come back before eating? Do you want us to starve to death? Let Chengxin rest first. I’ll go over later.”
The butler nodded and turned to leave.
Anhao was initially confused and did not understand the situation at all. She turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng’s originally calm face had a hint of displeasure and impatience.
Zuo Hancheng and his grandfather seemed to have a close relationship, but it seemed that the two of them were not that close. On the contrary, there seemed to be a lot of unhappy things between them.
She turned around and retreated to his side. Standing beside him, she whispered, “Who is Chengxin?”
Zuo Hancheng did not answer. When the old man looked at them again, he said, “”lt’s been five years, but it seems like Grandpa still hasn’t figured it out.”
Laozi Zuo also glanced at them with an ugly expression.”Don’t think that you can convince me by talking about this little girl’s belly. Such a thin little girl, since she’s just pregnant, it’s not certain whether she can keep the child. Don’t blame me for being harsh, but it’s not that easy to enter our Zuo family!”
Anhao hesitated for a moment and did not say anything. She suddenly raised her hand and took the initiative to hold Zuo Hancheng’s hand.
When Zuo Hancheng lowered his gaze to look at her, she raised her eyes to meet his gaze with determination.
She knew that she had misunderstood Rong Xue before, but she was unwilling to admit that she had made a bigger mistake. She did not want to come back to the Zuo family in the United States, but now that she was standing here, she had no reason to retreat.
Besides, Zuo Hancheng was so firm in front of me, and the marriage procedures on both sides have been settled. He even used pregnancy as an excuse to make me secure the position of Mrs. Zuo. If she was still as nervous as before and did not know how to hold on to it, she would be too stupid.
At this moment, regardless of Rong Xue, Cheng Xin, or whether the old man would accept her, since Zuo Hancheng had left the United States five years ago not because of Rong Xue’s love affair, it was obvious that Rong Xue would not have much of an impact on Zuo Hancheng. She had misunderstood before.
Now that she was standing here, she decided to face the so-called Zuo family with Zuo Hancheng, the Zuo family that he had been unwilling to return to for five years.
Just as Anhao had made up her mind, Zuo Hancheng suddenly held her hand and turned around to look at Zuo Yue who was hiding not far away.””Zuo Yue, take Anhao away.”
Zuo Yue poked her head out from not far away and looked at the old man who was standing there. She hesitated for a moment before she hurriedly ran over, grabbed Anhao’s hand, and turned around to leave.
Anhao turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng had gone to face Old Master Zuo alone, and she felt indignant.
Did he really think that he was intimidated?
She was not willing to follow Zuo Yue far away. Instead, she went to the place where Zuo Yue had been hiding and squatted down with Zuo Yue, quietly listening to the conversation not far away.
However, they could not hear clearly from here. They could only see that Zuo Hancheng’s expression remained calm, while the old man was so angry that he could not stop blowing his beard and glaring at him. He even jabbed his walking stick hard on the ground to express his dissatisfaction.
Zuo Yue squatted down and whispered beside Anhao,””Sister-in-law, are you really pregnant?”
Anhao’s mouth twitched. She really could not hear the voice on the other side, so she could only squat down with Zuo Yue. Although Zuo Yue was on her side, she did not know how to speak. Therefore, Anhao did not tell the truth. She only touched her flat stomach with a face full of emotion.
Seeing Anhao’s actions, Zuo Yue thought that she was tacitly agreeing. She stuck out her tongue and said,””My brother is really fast!”
Anhao stood up again and looked over, but she still couldn’t hear what they were talking about.
“Aiya, I strained my neck to listen just now, but I only vaguely heard that you were pregnant. I couldn’t hear anything else clearly.”Zuo Yue mumbled,” Sister-in-law, why don’t I bring you to my brother’s room to rest? No matter what Grandpa’s att.i.tude is now, you still have me and Dad and Mom in this house. The baby in your stomach is my dearest little nephew. I have to protect him well. You must be exhausted from the long flight. Come, I’ll bring you to my brother’s room.”‘
As she spoke, Zuo Yue stood up and was about to leave.
Anhao stood rooted to the ground and looked in Zuo Hancheng’s direction worriedly.
Zuo Yue came over to pull her back.” Don’t worry. My brother is Grandpa’s biological grandson. He definitely won’t do anything to him. Besides, my brother was so angry that he left for five years and didn’t come back.. He can’t do anything to my brother either, right?”
