Translator: 549690339
As Old Master Zuo walked over with his walking stick, Anhao’s lips twitched.
Suddenly, she heard Zuo Hancheng’s footsteps approaching from behind her. Her heart, which had been hanging in the air, relaxed slightly because of his approach.
The main reason was that Master Zuo’s aura was too oppressive. Anhao had no experience in meeting elders, so she only knew that she should not be too indulgent and speak carelessly like usual. She could only say things like lifting the roof in front of Zuo Hancheng, but in front of the Zuo family, even if she could not pretend to be a good girl, she had to maintain a sensible state and not speak carelessly.
“Looks like I don’t even need to ask. Grandpa’s body is clearly stronger than five years ago.”
Zuo Hancheng’s words came from behind her. He walked to Anhao’s side and spoke calmly.
“Ridiculous!”
However, Zuo Hancheng’s words, which sounded like flattery, did not have any effect on the old man’s ears. He only cursed angrily with an ugly expression,”Han City! You’re too ridiculous! Previously, Zuo Yue said that you married a young lady who hasn’t even reached the age of twenty. I thought that Zuo Yue was just fooling me! I didn’t expect you to marry a random girl to deal with me! ”
The old man’s roar scared Zuo Yue so much that she quickly let go of Anhao’s hand. She turned around and found an excuse to escape.
From the corner of her eyes, Anhao saw Zuo Yue’s back as she ran away in a hurry. Her eyelids twitched.
Who was the one who said that she only needed to mention her name in the Zuo family? Now, he was actually the first to run away!
However, Zuo Hancheng’s eyes remained calm. At the same time, he held
Anhao’s hand again and held it tightly as if he was silently comforting her.
The cold war and stalemate of the past few days seemed to have disappeared in an instant. No matter how angry Zuo Hancheng was before, he would protect her by her side every time she was about to be hurt. This kind of tight grip made Anhao’s heart feel warm and almost melted. For a moment, she was no longer so nervous. She gathered her courage and looked at Old Master Zuo who was blowing his beard and glaring at her.
“Grandpa, hello. I’m Gu Anhao. I’ll be twenty in a week.”
“Shut up! You have no place to speak here!” Old Master Zuo suddenly glared at her, completely impolite.
Anhao blinked and smiled again. At the same time, she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. When he lowered his eyes to look at her, she said with her eyes,” Your old master has a bad temper!
Zuo Hancheng smiled and looked at the old man again.””l haven’t been back for five years, so you didn’t have to start scolding me the moment I entered the house. No matter what, Anhao is your granddaughter-in-law first.”
“What guest? I think you’re the guest!” ” Ever since you moved Sheng Ling out of the United States five years ago, you’ve only returned to the United States for a few days. You’ve only returned to Los Angeles a few times, but you’ve never found the time to go home. You’re always in a hurry. Do you really think that I can live a long life and wait for you to come back?””
“If I hadn’t forced you back this time, would you have waited until my funeral to come back and take a look? You haven’t been willing to go home for so many years. Do you even treat this place as your home? Do you still have me in your eyes?”
Even though Old Master Zuo had already said so much, there was no hesitation or fear on Zuo Hancheng’s face. His calmness made Anhao feel at ease.
She couldn’t help but look at his handsome and perfect face. She didn’t know how he would respond to the old master’s scolding and making things difficult for her.
“Although Shengling is the Zuo family’s business, it was taken over by me at the beginning of its establishment. From its initial appearance to its top position in the American business world, it took more than effort. Moving away from Los Angeles five years ago would have consumed a lot of energy and resources. You also started doing business when you were young, so you should understand the hardships better than me. Even though I didn’t have time to go back to the Zuo residence when I returned to Los Angeles several times, you should know the reason. It’s not just because I’m busy, I can’t make more space in my schedule.”
“Don’t tell me this! You’re clearly avoiding me by not coming back! Do you really think I can’t defeat you when I’m old? You dare to play with my brain just because you’re young? Don’t forget that the blood of the Zuo family flows in your veins. I’m your grandfather!
Even if you stand here and don’t say anything, I know what you’re thinking!”
“Oh? Then what am I thinking?” Zuo Hancheng did not retort. Instead, he asked with a faint smile.
Old Master Zuo’s face turned even uglier, but he suddenly looked at Gu Anhao.
Anhao shivered when she saw the old man’s gaze. She felt Zuo Hancheng’s hand gently change direction and interlocked with hers, filling her heart with a sense of security and courage.
Actually, this old man seemed so difficult to deal with. He didn’t give others face when he spoke, but it just so happened that people like him were the easiest to deal with. He just didn’t know if this old man would fall for his tricks. “Grandpa, although I’m young, I’m an adult after all. If you…”
“Did I let you speak?” Old Master Zuo looked at her sternly.””Shut up before I tell you to speak.”
Anhao’s voice paused. Although she felt that it was a little embarrassing, she had to admit defeat to an 80-year-old man who was once a legendary figure in the American business world.
Therefore, she shut her mouth and gave up on communicating with this stubborn old man.
‘ I’m already married to Anhao,” Zuo Hancheng said calmly.” This is a fact that you can’t refute no matter how much you object to it, Grandpa.’”‘
“In order to move Sheng Ling out of the United States, you used extreme means to create dual citizenship. Currently, your marriage with this little girl is only protected by Chinese law, but it will not be recognized by me! Before you get married in the local way in the United States, don’t even think about getting married to this little girl…”
“Before I returned to the States, I had already ordered someone to complete the marriage procedures for me and Anhao in Los Angeles. The procedures have already been completed and are on the way to the Zuo residence.”
Zuo Hancheng’s voice was neither servile nor overbearing. He smiled and said, “”Grandfather, I have thought of everything that you can think of. What you can’t think of is what you can’t reject the most.”
“What did I not think of?” Old Master Zuo narrowed his eyes, a hint of unwillingness in them.
Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and suddenly glanced at Anhao.””Are you sure you don’t want the child in her stomach?”
Anhao almost staggered, but she did not dare to show too much shock on her face. She looked up at the same stunned look in Master Zuo’s eyes and carefully poked Zuo Hancheng’s palm with her finger.
Indeed, one could not judge a book by its cover. When a person like Zuo Hancheng lied, even she almost believed him!
But was there a need to use such a method to deceive the old master? How could there be a child in her stomach?
Was he trying to force a beautiful girl to her death?
