“Grandpa, I believe that my parents like me because they respect Zuo Hancheng’s choice.”Anhao said softly.
“Zuo Yue came over because I was about the same age as her and we had met before. We fought together, so it’s normal for Zuo Yue to protect me now.”
“I don’t dare to say where I am, nor do I know how to say those useless heart-to-heart words. I can only stand here and let Grandpa look at me, the real me. I really don’t have a superior family background like Miss Cheng, nor have I been by your side for so many years to be filial. My late arrival and sudden appearance made Grandpa very disgusted. I know all this.”
“But Grandpa, I’m standing here now and looking at you as your granddaughter-in-law. I hope you can give me some time and a chance to fulfill my filial piety as a junior. If I’m not as good as others and you’re not satisfied, I can learn. Although I’m not perfect, I can learn until you’re satisfied.’
Xu Yuan turned to look at Zuo Hancheng when she heard what Anhao had said to the old man today. She smiled gently, obviously thinking that Anhao would be able to overcome the old man’s high wall one day.
Zuo Hancheng had let Anhao go alone to face the old master today. It seemed that he knew Anhao’s tenacity and honesty.
He believed that Anhao could really do it.
Xu Yuan smiled and turned to look at Anhao’s back and the old man’s cold but silent expression.
Anhao suddenly turned to look at the tea on the coffee table beside her. She took it over and touched the temperature of the teapot. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to the old man. She said respectfully,”Grandpa…”
The old man glanced at the teacup in her hand and said indifferently,”Do you think that a cup of tea will make me accept you?”
“No.” Anhao sincerely said, “Grandpa, this cup of tea is my sincerity. As long as Grandpa is willing to drink this cup of tea, it means that you are willing to give me this opportunity.”‘
“I’m not thirsty.” The old man refused immediately.
Anhao did not give up. She continued to smile and said,””Grandfather, I know that you think that you’re old and that you can’t wait for many years, so you hope to explain everything in front of you and hope that the people you care about can be happy together. However, because of my appearance, your hopes have been dashed.”
“But Grandpa, since I’m already your granddaughter-in-law, please keep a good mood and live a longer and healthier life as the precious treasure of the Zuo family. People say that having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. I believe that Grandpa’s body is so strong that you will definitely live to a hundred years old. You also pay so much attention to health, and there are many old people who have lived to more than a hundred years old. Therefore, you must not think that you are old and rush the things in front of you. Give us young people some time, we will definitely not let you down. Especially me. I will definitely not disappoint you…
The old man did not say anything, but he did not interrupt her either.
“Also,” Anhao paused for a moment, but her eyes were still sincere as she said, “”lt’s already February. We all know that it’s the Chinese New Year in half a month. You must want to reunite with your family, but it’s a pity that
Hancheng and I are leaving soon. Firstly, it’s because he’s indeed very busy. Secondly, it’s because Grandpa doesn’t like me, so I can’t be here every day to cause trouble for you.”
As soon as Anhao finished speaking, Zuo Yue burst into laughter again. She had been wondering why Gu Anhao would talk to the old man so obediently. It turned out that she was here to teach the old man a lesson.
The old man also understood the meaning behind her words, but he did not get angry. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her. He suddenly felt that this little girl was indeed a little interesting. She was a quiet little thing who hid a clever one.
‘ However, as long as grandpa gives me this opportunity, I promise that I will let him bring me back to the United States to accompany you whenever he has time in Hancheng. I will always say good things about you in front of him and let him remember that there is still an old baby in the Zuo family who misses him. We will definitely come back often and reunite with each other during the New Year next year. We won’t be separated from each other like this anymore. Grandpa, I’m sincere. Please give me this opportunity, okay?”
Anhao looked at the old man with her big, clear eyes, which were full of sincerity.
“Dad, Anhao’s hand has been holding the teacup for so long that it’s sore. Don’t make things difficult for her.”Xu Yuan opened her mouth to a.s.sist
“That’s right, Grandpa. Sister-in-law’s hands are shaking.”
Zuo Hancheng did not say a word. He only watched quietly as Anhao stood obediently and respectfully in front of the old man. His eyes were filled with endless gentleness.
Everyone could see Gu Anhao’s seriousness and hard work today. Xu Yuan was almost touched by this girl.
In fact, she was only a year older than Zuo Yue, but she was already considered to know when to advance and retreat, which was already very rare.
Anhao’s hands were indeed sore, but she remained still and looked at Grandpa Shen
After about a minute, the old man let go of the crutch in his hand and reached out to take the teacup from her hand.
Anhao’s eyes lit up with joy. The moment the old man took the teacup, she smiled. “Thank you, Grandpa!”
The old man snorted, but he still took a sip of tea. However, it was only one sip before he put the teacup aside.
However, this bite was already the biggest concession Grandpa Sheng could give her. It was enough for Anhao to jump up and celebrate. However, she restrained herself and smiled sweetly at Grandpa Sheng.
“Alright, why are you all looking at me? I’m not the G.o.d of today’s birthday. This birthday person came to me to pour tea, pour water, and bow. It’s as if I’m really bullying him. Let’s go, let’s go. It’s time to celebrate your birthday. If it’s time to celebrate, celebrate. I can’t control you guys anymore.”
Gu Anhao was chased away by the old man, but she was feeling very happy. The moment she turned her head and met Zuo Hancheng’s gaze, she smiled brightly and secretly made a ‘V’ sign at him.
Xu Yuan saw Anhao’s playful action and smiled. She turned around and asked Aunt w.a.n.g to prepare lunch and cake. Zuo Yue went to the old man’s side and muttered, “”Grandpa, you’re so handsome today. I think you’re the most handsome person in all these years! Aiya, Grandpa, why are there so many black hairs on your hair? You look like you’ve become twenty years younger.
You’re so handsome, so handsome…”
“Move aside, act like a s.l.u.t in front of me.”The old man reprimanded her.
“Aiya, Grandpa, I’m complimenting you…”
This was the first time Anhao had experienced the feeling of a happy family. As soon as she returned to Zuo Hancheng’s side, she felt a warmth on her hand.
Zuo Hancheng took her hand and kissed it. The moment their eyes met, his eyes were filled with praise and gratification..
