Chapter 843: Looks Similar (1)
No woman would reject a man who was more mature and stable than her, let alone such a good-looking man!
“That…” She looked at his back in relief and said,”Actually, I know I was wrong…” Oh right… How long will you be a guest at the Andersons? I heard that you came to visit my grandfather on behalf of Old Zuo. Can you stay here for a few more days?”
Zuo Hancheng did not stop walking, but he seemed to have slowed down a little because of her words.
When An Xin saw him, she quickly jogged to his side. Her face was a little hot as she looked at the man beside her who looked a little gentle when he lowered his head. Her heart was beating wildly as she said,”Is this your first time in New York? If it’s your first time, I’ll accompany you on a walk around Manhattan tomorrow. Anyway, Grandma has returned to the ancestral hall today and won’t be coming out for a while. Grandpa has a bad temper, and he can’t always let you accompany that old man and listen to him nag. Why don’t I be the host and accompany you on a walk…”
Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He merely glanced at her with a faint smile in his eyes. The cold mockery in his eyes only appeared for a moment before it was hidden quietly.
An Xin did not see the mockery in his eyes. She only saw his smile and suddenly said with a blush,””x.x.xx.x.x, this is my phone number. If you want me to go out with you tomorrow, you can call me. Don’t be afraid of disturbing me, I usually wake up early.”
After saying that, An Xin turned around and ran away shyly. Zuo Hancheng stood where he was and looked at the figure. The mocking smile in his eyes was gradually covered by coldness. In the dark night, the man’s figure stood on the small road of the An residence, tall and cold.
“What did you say? You like Zuo Hancheng?”
An Ping’s face suddenly turned ugly as she stood up and looked at the man who had come to find her so early in the morning.
Seeing how agitated her mother was, Anxin was a little confused.””I’m also at the age where I should get married. It’s not strange for me to like a man now. Why are you reacting like this?”
“Why am I reacting like this? Didn’t the servant tell you that the girl who came with her is his wife? Zuo Hancheng is already married!” An Ping’s face was ashen.
The expectant smile in Anxin’s eyes instantly froze. After a long while, she finally said,””Is that woman his wife?”
Hearing Anxin use such a casual and deliberately ignored tone to describe Anhao, An Ping couldn’t describe the feelings in her heart. She just frowned.
“How would I know that he’s married? I didn’t even notice that woman yesterday!”Anxin looked unhappy.” Besides, when I met him outside last night, he didn’t mention his wife’s name at all. I guess their relationship isn’t good either. Maybe they’ll get a divorce in a few days…”
“Don’t talk nonsense! Anhao and Hancheng have never offended you, how can you say such things!”An Ping’s voice rose a few decibels. It was obvious that she was angry.
Her mother had never been so angry with her.
Anxin endured it and was about to turn around to leave when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. Then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly turned around and said,”What did you say that woman’s name was?”
“What?” An Ping frowned.
“You said…Her name is Anhao?”
Seeing her faint trembling, An Ping was about to walk over to see why the child suddenly had such an expression.
Anxin quickly hid the surprise in her eyes and suddenly said hastily,””Mom, I’m leaving first!”
Anxin quickly walked out of the door. After she finally avoided An Ping’s gaze, she suddenly let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she looked in the direction of the guest room.
Anhao?
For so many years, every time her mother woke up from a nightmare, she would call out the same name, Anhao.
There were even two times when her mother was unconscious due to a fever. The moment she finally opened her eyes, she touched her face with tears in her eyes and even spoke to her in a very, very soft voice. However, the name that her mother said was still Anhao…
She had never known who Anhao was. She only knew that her mother had left the United States in her early years because she ran away from her marriage. She only came back after more than ten years. After she came back, she had never gotten married and had no children. That was why she had gone to the orphanage to adopt her.
She remembered the first time she met her mother. It was three months after An Ping returned to the United States. She had used the An family’s name to make charity donations at an orphanage run by several major Chinese in New York. She had seen her in the crowd at a glance, and then she suddenly stumbled over to her. She squatted down and held her small face, her eyes filled with deep sadness…
It didn’t take long for her to be adopted by An Ping. She gave herself a new name, Peace of Mind.
She treated her very well, as if she was her own daughter.
In the first two years, when her mother looked at her, Anxin always felt that she was looking at another person through her face. Anxin often felt strange and turned around to look, but there was no one there.
She had always had a strange feeling, but she couldn’t explain it.
Until today.
He had already thought of this terrifying idea before, but it was suddenly confirmed at this moment.
Did her mother ever give birth to a child in the years that she left the United States?
The more Anxin thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She also felt even more sore and uncomfortable when she thought about how Anhao was actually Zuo Hancheng’s wife. She simply walked quickly towards the guest room.
Early in the morning, Anhao applied medicine on Zuo Hancheng’s shoulder before getting up to clean herself up.
Although the wound on his shoulder had healed, it was especially serious at that time. The doctor had instructed him to apply medicine and take medicine on time every day.
Zuo Hancheng was pressed down onto the bed by Anhao in a domineering manner. After applying the medicine, he was forced to rest in bed for a few hours before he could get out of bed.
After Anhao showered, dried her hair, changed her clothes, and left the house, Zuo Hancheng was still lying on the bed, enjoying Mrs. Zuo’s affectionate service and obeying Mrs. Zuo’s domineering orders.
However, the moment Anhao walked out, she b.u.mped into Anxin, who was suddenly walking in her direction.
Anxin quickly walked up to her and stared at Anhao’s face. Before Anhao could say anything, Anxin said sarcastically,””Do you think that the two of us look alike?”
Anhao was stunned.
“What do you mean?” Suddenly, Old Master An’s figure approached from not far away.
Before Anhao could react, Anxin was shocked. She turned around and saw Old Master An walking over. She quickly turned around and called out sweetly,””Grandpa.”
