Others might not be able to see her emotions, but Zuo Hancheng could tell that Anhao was telling him with her eyes that she could handle the situation.
Seeing her like this, Zuo Hancheng did not take the initiative to interrupt. However, when the old manâs gaze fell on his face, he could not help but sigh coldly.
Seeing Zuo Hanchengâs expression, Old Master Zuo hesitated for a moment. Although he was very angry, Hancheng had finally returned. If he were to anger him again, he would probably never see this kid again.
Therefore, the old man suppressed his anger and did not say anything else. Chengxin also stood at the side with slightly red eyes and did not say anything. She looked like she was extremely wronged but had no right to say anything more.
Zuoâs mother, Xu Yuan, smiled and continued to smooth things over.âHurry up and eat. Aunt Wang specially made Chinese food. Dad, you havenât eaten Chinese food in a long time, right? I still remember 20 years ago when Hancheng was only 10 years old. At that time, you took him to the mainland to investigate the business resources. After returning from there, you kept nagging about how delicious Chinese food was for a few years, so you specially hired a few people who could cook Chinese food in the kitchen. Itâs just that you rarely eat Chinese food in recent years. Fortunately, Aunt Wangâs cooking is not raw, and the taste is still so good.â
After Xu Yuan changed the topic, the old manâs expression softened a little, but he refused to look at Gu Anhao. He only frowned and said,’ââNo matter how delicious it is, I have no appetite. Iâm already old, and now Iâm filled with anger.
I canât eat anything.â
Anhao suddenly said,â Grandpa probably doesnât have an appetite because heâs angry. Itâs probably because thereâs fire in his body that causes his tongue to be dry. Thatâs why he doesnât want to eat.â Canned hawthorn has the effect of quenching thirst and appetizing. I happen to have two cans in my suitcase. Iâll go get them for Grandpa.â
Anhao stood up and was about to leave.
Old Master Zuo frowned.â Sit down. You donât have to get canned food. I wonât eat anything appetizing just because I canât finish a meal. You young people can eat whatever you like. You donât have to show off. No matter how much you show off, I wonât like you.’ââ
Anhao paused for a moment and smiled nonchalantly.âGrandpa, Iâm not trying to show off, but I happen to have canned hawthorn in my suitcase. I was afraid of getting airsick before boarding the plane, so I bought it at the airport and planned to eat it when I got airsick. It was just that I was in good condition on the plane, so I kept it in my suitcase and didnât take it out. I didnât mean to show anything. Grandpa, Iâm already your granddaughter-in-law. This is just out of concern for my elders.â
âAlright, sit down and eat your food. I donât need it.âThe old manâs attitude softened a little. Although his expression was not good, his voice was no longer as harsh as before.
Anhao returned to her seat and Mother Zuo smiled as she scooped a bowl of white fungus soup for her.ââCome, eat some tremella. Itâs light sweet and not bad. Although you are pregnant and need nutrition, you donât have to eat too much fish and meat. Itâs better to eat some light tonics like tremella occasionally.â
âThank you, Mom.â Anhao had already adapted to the environment in front of her. She nodded at Mother Zuo and took it with a smile.
Seeing that she was adapting well, Zuo Hancheng watched as she lowered her head and drank the white fungus soup obediently. His lips gradually curved into a smile that indicated that he was in a good mood.
Seeing that Zuo Hanchengâs eyes were always on Gu Anhao, Chengxin, who was sitting beside the old man, hid the disappointment in her eyes. She quietly picked up her chopsticks and picked up some appetizing dishes and placed them in the bowl in front of the old man. âGrandpa, eat something.â
When the old man saw the dishes that Chengxin had picked up, he more or less gave Chengxin some face and also picked up his chopsticks to eat some.
This old man was obviously still trying to push Chengxin down on her, and
Anhao could tell.
However, she knew how to take things step by step, so she was not in a hurry.
After all, there were so many people sitting on her side. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng did not intend to let her suffer in front of the old master, so she was not afraid at all.
She didnât believe in sincerity, but she believed that good feelings between people couldnât be formed in a day. As long as she was more determined, no matter how hard the old man made things difficult for her, he wouldnât do anything to her.
After dinner, Anhao was so full that she almost couldnât straighten her back.
It wasnât that she had no manners at the Zuo familyâs house, nor was it that she kept eating when she saw delicious food. It was just that when she was almost done eating, Mother Zuo kept putting all kinds of delicious food into her bowl. During this period, she personally scooped no less than two bowls of soup for her. When she could finally leave the dining table, Anhao felt that her stomach was about to explode.
âMom, look at you. You kept putting food into Sister-in-lawâs bowl just now. Sheâs so full that she canât stand up straight.âZuo Yue said as she walked past Anhao with half an apple in her mouth.
Xu Yuan turned around and saw Anhao secretly rubbing her stomach. She smiled and walked over. âDid you really eat too much? Do you want to go out for a walk and digest it?â
Anhao nodded. She turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng was talking to Father Zuo next door, so she did not call him.
âZuo Yue, accompany Anhao out for a walk.âXu Yuan stopped Zuo Yue, who was about to run out.
Zuo Yueâs mouth twitched and she could only turn around and walk over. She held Anhaoâs arm and walked out. As they walked, she said,ââSister-in-law, Grandpa is a stubborn old man. You can actually eat so much under his cold gaze and Chengxinâs aggrieved gaze. Even I have to admire you!â
âIâm more thick-skinned. I donât care because everyone is on my side. After all, nothing is too perfect. Moreover, that Miss Cheng always looks at me from time to time. I canât act as if I mind and fear her existence, right?â
Anhao also smiled and walked out with Zuo Yue hand in hand.
The two of them walked through the courtyard. It was already around 10:30 pm. Even in America, the sky was already dark.
Zuo Yue pointed at the brightly lit garden not far away.ââThere, do you see it? Thereâs a windmill tower over there. Itâs a place I used to go to when I was young, but Sister-in-law, you canât climb high now, so I wonât take you there. But I have a good place, itâs a place my brother used to play when he was very young.â
âWhere?â
âOver there.â
Zuo Yue was about to pull Anhao away when her phone rang. She glanced at the number on her phone and gritted her teeth.âThis bastard!â
As she spoke, she suddenly turned around and said to Anhao, ââlâm going to take a call. Wait for me.
Anhao nodded. Zuo Yue turned around and took the phone to a place further away to answer it. Looking at Zuo Yueâs mysterious appearance, she did not know who was calling..
