Chapter 869: Still Dare to Come Here
On the way to the Zuo family’s residential area, Anhao sat in the car without saying a word. Her eyes were always looking at the scenery outside, from the bustling international metropolis to the suburbs, from the pleasant suburbs to the smell of smoke, until the greenery damaged by the explosives turned yellow and black, until the green scenery gradually became unsightly.
She knew that it was almost time for her to return to Zuo Hancheng’s side, and her heart tightened.
D was driving, and there were only the two of them in the car. Just like that day when they were escaping in the sea of fire, there were only the two of them. It was as if nothing had changed. As long as she looked back, she would see Zuo Hancheng still looking at her from afar.
D was also focused on driving the car without a word. Previously, it took a lot of effort from Mr. Arel to bring Anhao out of the hospital, but the two cars following behind them were obviously sent by Mr. Arel to protect them in secret.
Anhao saw it too, but she pretended not to see it. She didn’t even ask anyone about her ident.i.ty, whether it was Anping or Mr. Arel, whether it was Old Master An or Old Madam An, who had been silent for the past few days and seemed to have aged a lot, Anhao didn’t say a word to any of them.
Last night, Anxin had come to the hospital to make a scene while everyone was paying attention. She had scolded Anhao outside the ward for not knowing what was good for her. She had said that her mother had been crying all day and that she had become much more haggard. She had said that Anhao was vicious and had caused Zuo Hancheng’s death, and that her entire family had to suffer with her. She had said that the entire family had not eaten, drunk, or slept with her.
She scolded him a lot, but Anhao didn’t come out of the ward to see her. In the end, Anhao was dragged away by the people around Mr. Arel.
Until now, Anhao still hadn’t said anything. She didn’t even look at the car that had been following behind her.
Although the road from the hospital to the safe area outside the accident site was long, it was still over.
When Anhao got out of the car, D walked to the side and helped her out of the car through the fabric of her sleeves. He then stood respectfully behind her without saying a word.
Anhao turned around and looked at the pitch-black area in the distance.
She had never seen a war in her life, so she could not understand the words that she had read in the textbooks about being razed to the ground in an instant.
It was only now that she saw the charred area in the distance, and there were still a few places where black smoke was slowly rising, that she finally understood the meaning of those four words.
However, she did not think about whether Zuo Hancheng could escape from such a place. Moreover, he was so seriously injured at that time. She could not think about it and did not dare to think about it.
Anhao turned to look in the direction D was pointing at and heard D say,””The Zuo family has been here ever since they arrived. They have never left. Other than Zuo Yue who was forcefully taken away by Xu Chengfeng half a month ago, all the other Zuo family members are here. The day before yesterday, Zuo Yue called and said that she would be back soon, but Xu Chengfeng hung up on her.”
Anhao didn’t say anything. D continued,” Zuo Yue’s matter has already made the Zuo family’s mental and physical exhaustion. Now, Mr. Zuo…” Something happened.” As if he didn’t want to provoke Anhao, D spoke more tactfully and didn’t mention anything related to death. He continued,”” Mr. Zuo’s parents and Old Master Zuo are sadder than anyone else. Mrs. Zuo, I didn’t want you to come here because I was afraid that Old Master Zuo would vent his anger on you. After all, these things have nothing to do with you. You’re also in a pa.s.sive position in the grudge with the Gu family. However, in Old Master Zuo’s heart, he…”
“I understand.” “D, wait for me in the car and rest for a while.” Anhao interrupted him softly.”
D didn’t say anything else. Seeing that Anhao had no problem walking to the settlement alone, he knew that she had eaten a lot of food last night and this morning to preserve her strength, so he didn’t follow her.
He walked to the temporary tents outside the black area and found the Zuo family.
Father Zuo was the first to see Anhao. The moment he saw Anhao, he looked at her with a complicated expression. Mother Zuo then saw Anhao. When her red and swollen eyes met Anhao’s gaze, she quickly walked over and held Anhao’s hand.”Child, when did you wake up? How’s your body? Is there anything serious?”
Anhao did not expect her mother, Xu Yuan, to care about her as if she was her own family. Anhao’s eyes instantly turned red, but she tried hard to hold back her tears and forced a smile.”Mom, I’m fine.”
When she saw Anhao trying her best to suppress her emotions, Mother Zuo’s tears that she had been trying hard to hold back almost fell down in an instant. However, she held Anhao’s hand tightly.” We already know what happened in Han City. Even though I can’t comfort myself as a mother, I have to accept the truth. Anhao, you have to be strong. Only you can live well. Every time I see you, I can feel that my son is still by our side. At least the person he loves is still safe and sound in front of us. This proves that he exists and traces of him. You have to be strong, child…”
Father Zuo walked over and looked at Anhao’s expression.””I heard that you had a high fever for three days. Why did you leave the hospital so early? I don’t need your help here. Go back quickly…”
Before Father Zuo could finish his sentence, Old Master Zuo suddenly moved out of the tent slowly. He sat in a wheelchair and looked much older than the last time. At this moment, he looked at Anhao expressionlessly, his eyes full of disgust and coldness. The moment he came out, he cursed,”You still dare to come here?”
Anhao’s expression froze and she turned to look at Old Master Zuo. Old Master Zuo narrowed his eyes.”Why didn’t that old fart An come over? Aren’t you his granddaughter? Aren’t you a child of the Andersons? What are you doing here? What relationship do you have with our Zuo family?
Why didn’t that old fart come over and let you come here to annoy me?”
“Grandpa.”
“Don’t call me grandpa! I’ve never acknowledged you as my granddaughter-in-law! No wonder Hancheng didn’t tell us about your background. It turns out that you’re not only the granddaughter of that old man surnamed An, but also your biological father. Your background is destined to have a bad ending! The Zuo family forbade anyone from getting involved in the underworld, and so did the An family! I really didn’t expect you to be the child of the Andersons ‘daughter who ran away back then!”
Old Master’s words were so sharp that they pierced Anhao’s heart. Anhao had never asked about the specifics, and only had a vague idea. Only D told her some simple things.
All she knew was that Mr. Arel was her father, but that was not the main point. She had come all the way from the hospital to find Zuo Hancheng, but what greeted her was Old Master Zuo’s insults, disdain, and hatred.
