Chapter 275: Fancy Show of Affection (6)
Translator: 549690339
Initially, Anhao had planned to return to Zuo Hancheng’s bedroom directly, but she still had to pa.s.s by the front hall where the banquet had just been held to greet the elders of the Zuo family. Since she had to be well-behaved in front of the elders, she had to be polite, right?
As soon as he walked into the front hall, he saw Xu Yuan on the phone with some relatives and sisters. When she mentioned that Zuo Hancheng had returned, her eyes were filled with joy.
As expected, the person who loved children the most in this world was a mother. No matter how powerful Zuo Hancheng was or how far he had gone in the past five years, the look of relief and happiness in his mother’s eyes could not be deceived.
It had been many years since Anhao had felt this kind of feeling.
The figure who had rolled down the stairs more than five years ago flashed in front of her eyes. When Xu Yuan put down the phone, she smiled and walked over.”Mom, is Hancheng talking to Dad in front?”
“Yeah, he hasn’t been back for so many years. Although we understand the decision of the City of Han when they left, since he’s finally back, we have to talk about what happened in the past few years.””Do you still feel stuffed?” Xu Yuan smiled at her. Do you want Aunt w.a.n.g to make you some soup to help with digestion?”
“Uh, no need, no need. I’m afraid my stomach will really burst if I drink more soup. I already feel much better after going out for a walk just now.”
“This child.” Xu Yuan said with a smile. Suddenly, she thought of something and took out a red packet from her handbag.”Look at me, I’m so busy that I forgot. Anhao, it’s your first time in the Zuo family. As your mother-in-law, I
don’t know if you like clothes or jewelry. I know you’re not a vain girl, so I’ll be more practical and give you a red packet. You can fill it up with whatever you like. If you don’t have enough money, just tell me. Now that you’re in America, I’ll take care of everything.”
Xu Yuan stuffed a thick red packet into Anhao’s hands while she was still in a daze.””l know that you met in Hancheng in China and got married in China, so we followed the Chinese custom. You can’t reject this red packet. This is a custom and a blessing.”
Anhao was really at a loss and wanted to refuse, but when she heard the second half of Mother Zuo’s sentence, her hand paused and she took the red packet hesitantly.
The amount of money inside was very thick. Moreover, the Zuo family had been in the United States for so many years, so they definitely wouldn’t have prepared RMB to wrap this red packet, so… There should be US dollars inside…
In other words, the amount of money in the red packet was definitely so much that she was flattered.
“Thank you, Mom.” Even though Anhao’s little heart was trembling and she had an embarra.s.sed expression on her face, she was actually overjoyed. She held the red packet in her hands with a smile on her face.”l just came to the Zuo family today, and I’ve already caused you so much trouble. I don’t know what to say. I feel that my mouth has become stupid in front of you.”
“Just be more natural, just like how you scolded Hancheng on the phone. I’ve never seen a girl like you who dared to secretly belittle Hancheng like that.”
Xu Yuan said as she pulled her to sit down.””While Hancheng isn’t around, tell me, how did you get together with Hancheng? Although I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your marriage just because you’re young, I’m still very curious. How did a person with a personality like Hancheng marry a strange little girl like you?”
Anhao was embarra.s.sed.
She said she met him at a bar? This would make Mother Zuo think that she was not a decent girl. But where did she meet the CEO of Shengling Group?
Just as she was thinking about how to answer, Xu Yuan smiled and said, “”Alright, look at your blushing face. I won’t ask if you’re too embarra.s.sed to say it. It’s fine as long as you and Hancheng continue to be in love.”
As Xu Yuan spoke, she suddenly raised her hand and gently tucked Anhao’s hair behind her ear.
This action made Anhao’s entire body stiffen. She looked at the gentle Mother Zuo who was sitting beside her.
Mother Zuo tidied up her collar again and looked at Anhao’s eyebrows carefully. She patted Anhao’s shoulder gently.’”You’re such a good child.
Perhaps I hit it off with you, but the more I look at you, the more I like you Anhao smiled.
He didn’t know how long it had been since he had felt this kind of steady and warm feeling.
She did not know how long it had been since an elder had held her hand and talked to her so patiently, even using his hand to tuck her hair behind her ears.
This was once her mother’s favorite action. Every time she helped her with her hair, she would be as gentle as Mother Zuo, and her eyes were filled with her.
Anhao sat stiffly next to Mother Zuo and did not say anything. Mother Zuo continued to pat her clothes gently and smoothed them out. Then, she smiled and said,””l believe that Han City’s decision is the best, so no matter what the old man says or does, you have to remember that we are on your side.” Anhao’s nose turned sour, and tears almost flowed out of her eyes.
When Mother Zuo habitually raised her hand to tuck her mischievous hair behind her ear, tears almost fell from her eyes.
She had thought that her mother-in-law was a terrifying existence in this world, but she did not expect that all the hardships she had experienced in the Gu family would finally find light at this time.
It felt like his mother was sitting in front of him.
It was as if her mother was supporting her by her side.
What a familiar yet strange feeling.
Anhao’s eyes were red as she sniffed. She did not let her tears fall. She pursed her lips and smiled.”Yes, thank you, Mom.”
“Why is this child’s eyes turning red as she talks?”
” No, it’s because you’re too good to me. Look at me, these are tears of
grat.i.tude. How sincere!”
Xu Yuan was instantly amused by her and patted her head.””lt’s getting late. When Hancheng comes back later, let him send you back to your room to rest…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the old man suddenly walked out from next door. He must have just gone to talk to Zuo Hancheng and Father Zuo about the various Zuo’s groups. He looked quite calm.
However, when Anhao looked at the old man, before she could even greet him, the old man turned to look at the time expressionlessly.””How many points are these? Has Chengxin gone back?”
“I just saw Miss Cheng at the rainbow fountain. She shouldn’t have gone back yet.”
The old man acted as if he did not hear her words.”lt’s so late. Don’t let her go back. Xu Yuan, ask someone to arrange a room for Chengxin and let her stay here tonight..”
