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 man’s gaze fell on his face, he could not help but sigh coldly.
Seeing Zuo Hancheng’s 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.
Zuo’s mother, Xu Yuan, smiled and continued to smooth things over.”Hurry up and eat. Aunt Wang specially made Chinese food. Dad, you haven’t 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. It’s just that you rarely eat Chinese food in recent years. Fortunately, Aunt Wang’s cooking is not raw, and the taste is still so good.”
After Xu Yuan changed the topic, the old man’s expression softened a little, but he refused to look at Gu Anhao. He only frowned and said,’”‘No matter how delicious it is, I have no appetite. I’m already old, and now I’m filled with anger.
I can’t eat anything.”
Anhao suddenly said,” Grandpa probably doesn’t have an appetite because he’s angry. It’s probably because there’s fire in his body that causes his tongue to be dry. That’s why he doesn’t want to eat.” Canned hawthorn has the effect of quenching thirst and appetizing. I happen to have two cans in my suitcase. I’ll go get them for Grandpa.”
Anhao stood up and was about to leave.
Old Master Zuo frowned.” Sit down. You don’t have to get canned food. I won’t eat anything appetizing just because I can’t finish a meal. You young people can eat whatever you like. You don’t have to show off. No matter how much you show off, I won’t like you.’”‘
Anhao paused for a moment and smiled nonchalantly.”Grandpa, I’m 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 didn’t take it out. I didn’t mean to show anything. Grandpa, I’m already your granddaughter-in-law. This is just out of concern for my elders.”
“Alright, sit down and eat your food. I don’t need it.”The old man’s 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.””Come, eat some tremella. It’s light sweet and not bad. Although you are pregnant and need nutrition, you don’t have to eat too much fish and meat. It’s better to eat some light tonics like tremella occasionally.”
“Thank you, Mom.” 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 Hancheng’s 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. “Grandpa, eat something.”
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 didn’t believe in sincerity, but she believed that good feelings between people couldn’t 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 wouldn’t do anything to her.
After dinner, Anhao was so full that she almost couldn’t straighten her back.
It wasn’t that she had no manners at the Zuo family’s 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.
“Mom, look at you. You kept putting food into Sister-in-law’s bowl just now. She’s so full that she can’t stand up straight.”Zuo 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. “Did you really eat too much? Do you want to go out for a walk and digest it?”
Anhao nodded. She turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng was talking to Father Zuo next door, so she did not call him.
“Zuo Yue, accompany Anhao out for a walk.”Xu Yuan stopped Zuo Yue, who was about to run out.
Zuo Yue’s mouth twitched and she could only turn around and walk over. She held Anhao’s arm and walked out. As they walked, she said,””Sister-in-law, Grandpa is a stubborn old man. You can actually eat so much under his cold gaze and Chengxin’s aggrieved gaze. Even I have to admire you!”
“I’m more thick-skinned. I don’t 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 can’t act as if I mind and fear her existence, right?”
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.””There, do you see it? There’s a windmill tower over there. It’s a place I used to go to when I was young, but Sister-in-law, you can’t climb high now, so I won’t take you there. But I have a good place, it’s a place my brother used to play when he was very young.”
“Where?”
“Over there.”
Zuo Yue was about to pull Anhao away when her phone rang. She glanced at the number on her phone and gritted her teeth.”This bastard!”
As she spoke, she suddenly turned around and said to Anhao, “”l’m 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 Yue’s mysterious appearance, she did not know who was calling..
