Chapter 1082: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (167)
On the fourth day after Zuo Yue was discharged from the hospital, Zuo Hancheng, who had not returned to the Zuo family for five years, suddenly came back with his new wife.
This made Zuo Yue, who had just gone home to replenish her nutrients for a few days, so excited that she instantly forgot everything.
She did not need to participate in the matters of the Xu family for the time being. Xu Yuan had not been to the Xu Corporation recently. Although Zuo Yue did not ask too clearly, she could feel that the Xu family seemed to be temporarily handed over to Xu Chengfeng to handle.
Because Zuo Hancheng had brought Gu Anhao back to the Zuo family home, Zuo Yue had been focusing on Gu Anhao for the past few days. It was not easy for her brother to finally come back and bring her sister-in-law back. Zuo Yue was busy entertaining her sister-in-law every day and talking about all kinds of bad things about Zuo Hancheng when he was young. She was very busy.
It was not until the day before the Spring Festival that Zuo Hancheng left with Anhao. As soon as the two ladies left, the Zuo family fell into silence again.
Grandfather’s temper had always been like that. When Gu Anhao was still around, he would always be cold and distant. After she left, he would start nagging non-stop. He would even nag about when Gu Anhao’s child would be born, whether she could keep it, and whether she could successfully carry her great-grandson.
Zuo Yue wanted to smash her bowl every time she heard her grandfather muttering these words at the dining table.
Since you’re so concerned and worried, why don’t you express your concern when she’s around?
Why did you have to scold her in front of Gu Anhao? You only started to worry after she left!
Did the people of the Zuo family follow the old master’s cold on the outside but cold on the inside?
Sometimes, Zuo Yue really wondered if she was the biological child of the Zuo family. Why was her personality completely different from theirs?
Besides, Anhao wasn’t pregnant at all.
After Zuo Yue found out the truth, she didn’t tell anyone. She wasn’t a big mouth who would go around telling people about it. However, when she saw that her mother was planning to take some time to go to China to take care of Anhao for a period of time because of her pregnancy, Zuo Yue almost couldn’t help it.
However, if her mother was not in the United States or Los Angeles for the time being, she could find an opportunity to visit Xu Chengfeng. Although her mother did not restrict her movements recently, Zuo Yue felt inexplicably guilty every time her mother threw a glance at her.
That was why Zuo Yue did not reveal the truth of Anhao’s pregnancy to anyone in the family until Xu Yuan suddenly flew to China a few days after the Spring Festival.
If her brother and sister-in-law could make her grandfather not reject her so much because of this reason, and if her brother was using this method to temporarily prevent Anhao from getting hurt, Zuo Yue would not have said anything.
Although she really wanted to hug her little nephew as soon as possible, it just had to be a fake pregnancy. Just thinking about it made her feel a little disappointed.
*****
At the end of February.
Winter vacation was coming to an end, and Zuo Yue was already in the process of transferring to another school. She would continue to study in Los Angeles, and someone would be in charge of the handover in Boston.
Zuo Yue was still a little confused about her future direction and fate. It seemed that she could not decide whether she wanted to study medicine or business.
It was as if her mother was doing everything for her sake, for her own good. But no matter what, Zuo Yue could not refute it. After all, she did feel a little guilty about everything that had happened in Boston.
Anyway, Xu Chengfeng did not seem to have any plans to go to Boston in recent years.
However, her family had recently bought a new car, which Zuo Yue liked very much. She took advantage of her mother’s absence to drive directly to the business street in the bustling area of Los Angeles. After buying the dress she would wear to the party tomorrow, she simply went straight to Xu Corporation.
All the employees of the Xu Corporation recognized her. Zuo Yue went straight to the office without any obstruction, but Xu Chengfeng was not in the office.
After asking around, she found out that he was still holding a board meeting in the conference room on the lower floor. It had not been long since the board of directors who had always been skeptical of his identity and ability and even wanted to seize power had gradually been baptized by him. On the surface, no one dared to jump out and speak nonsense.
The secretary wanted to take Zuo Yue to the lounge to wait, but Zuo Yue smiled and did not go. She turned around and went downstairs. When she reached the door of the conference room, she raised her finger and said to the security guard outside the door,”Shh ~”
She leaned against the door of the conference room and secretly listened to the voices inside.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The security guard knew that this young lady in front of him was not to be trifled with. After all, it was her family’s company and the person inside was her uncle, so he did not stop her.
The conference room was filled with all kinds of conversations in English, including the big screen and various electronic reports. Zuo Yue listened for a long time but did not hear Xu Chengfeng’s voice. She pursed her lips and was about to turn around to leave, but just as she turned around, she suddenly saw Xu Chengfeng walking out of the elevator next door. She did not stabilize her footsteps and crashed into his arms.
Xu Chengfeng suddenly hugged her and lowered his eyes to see her embarrassed expression as if she had been grabbed by someone. He immediately looked at her hesitantly.”Why are you here?”
“No… Nothing…” Zuo Yue took a step back awkwardly.””I was shopping nearby just now, so I came over to take a look…”
“What are you looking at?” Xu Chengfeng didn’t let go of her and instead held her by the waist. He glanced at the meeting room behind her and said,””Watch my meeting?”
“I thought you were inside…”
Although the security guard in front of the door had already left, and although there was no one around, there was still a surveillance camera in the corridor. Zuo Yue carefully pushed the hand that was wrapped around her waist.”I’ll wait for you in your office.”
Xu Chengfeng looked at her, but he did not let go of her. When Zuo Yue turned her eyes, he seemed to see a trace of inexplicable emotion in his eyes. He only hooked his arm slightly and pulled her back into his arms. At the same time, he leaned over and kissed her ear gently.”A few days ago, you didn’t come to see me because Zuo Hancheng and his wife returned to the Zuo family. It wasn’t easy for you to come today.”
Zuo Yue’s heart skipped a beat because of his seductive posture. She was forced into his embrace. It was as if she had been the one taking the initiative from the beginning until now. It was rare for Xu Chengfeng to be so seductive now. Her ears instantly turned red and her heart trembled. The defenses she had built up were in danger of collapsing. She raised her eyes to look at him carefully, but once again, she saw the deep emotions in his eyes that no one could understand.
In fact, Zuo Yue did not know why she had been feeling that there was something in the middle recently.
She would occasionally talk to Xu Chengfeng on the phone, and his tone and everything about him did not sound like he was pushing her away, but he did not take the initiative to be with her without caring about anything.
He was clearly hugging her, but she felt that he had something on his mind.
