Chapter 832: The Andersons in America (6)
“Did you smoke? When did he smoke? Why haven’t I seen it before?” Mrs. Anderson glanced at him indifferently and suddenly held Anhao’s hand.”Come, child, come and sit.”
“Hancheng, sit here. The An family hasn’t been this lively in a long time.”Old Madam An’s cold expression towards Old Master An earlier turned into a kind smile when she saw Anhao and Zuo Hancheng.
At the same time, she pulled Anhao to a seat near the main seat at the dining table and sat beside her. Then, she let Zuo Hancheng sit on the chair on the other side of Anhao and said with a smile,””Usually, we don’t have many relatives and children around us. It’s rare for any child to come and visit us. I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful to bring Madam here. It was not in vain that I often went to Los Angeles to see you when you were young. At that time, I often carried you. You were especially likable at that time. Everyone said that the grandson of the Zuo family would definitely be extraordinary when he grew up. It seems that everyone’s words have become a proverb.”
” Old Madam, you’re being too serious. Hancheng is indeed a child in front of the two elders, but the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just a fixed career in one’s life. Whether it’s the Zuo family or the Shengling Group, they’re just a means to make a living.”Zuo Hancheng replied with a faint smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
His gaze deepened when he heard the old lady say,” Hancheng, you’re so thoughtful.” When he looked at the old lady, the smile in his eyes had a different meaning.
Grandma Jian nodded with a smile.” Yes, the most important thing is to keep a low profile. Hancheng has been taught strictly since he was young, and he has his own opinions. It’s a pity that you’re not fated to be with the An family. If we had a granddaughter, she would probably be about your age. It would be great if our two grandsons could marry for the rest of their lives and our families could become in-laws.”
The more the old lady said this, the uglier Grandpa An’s expression became.”You’re just picking on a sore spot. If you’re really talking about your granddaughter, do you think Anxin is worthy of Han City?”
However, Mrs. Anderson pretended not to hear Grandpa An’s words. She looked at Zuo Hancheng and said,”Ignore your Grandpa An. He likes to twist my words. We never said that we wanted to have anything to do with Anxin. The two of you seem to be in love. We’re not that ungrateful to compare our own child to Mrs. Zuo.”
As she spoke, the old madam’s gaze landed on Anhao again. She smiled kindly and said,””Anhao, is your surname An too? Or?”
Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao and did not say anything. He was giving her the chance to control everything in the An family.
Anhao looked at her hand that was held by Mrs. Anderson again and felt that her hand was very warm.
Anhao’s heart was slightly moved. She didn’t know why, but she felt that this old lady seemed to know something, but she couldn’t be sure.
“When I was young, my surname was An. When I grew up, my mother suddenly sent me to a family with the surname Gu. After that, my mother passed away because of a tumor. I’m not very clear about my background, but my identity card has always shown the words Gu Anhao.”
Anhao’s words were very clear, and there was a smile in her eyes when she spoke.
However, when Mrs. Anderson heard every word Anhao said, her eyes darkened a little. The old hand that was holding Anhao’s hand tightened.
After all, she was an old lady. No matter how tight her grip was, Anhao wouldn’t feel any pain. Anhao only felt the change in Mrs. Anderson’s emotions, but she smiled as if she didn’t notice it.”So, Old Madam, you can call me Anhao or Gu Anhao.”
The old madam held her hand tightly and looked at her for a long time before smiling. When she smiled, a trace of tears flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. The old madam smiled and patted her hand.”Anhao, what a good name. When your mother gave you a name, she must have hoped that you would be safe and carefree for the rest of your life.”
“Is that so? So this is what my name means.”Anhao’s tone was extremely light. She pulled her hand away from the old lady’s hand at the same time, but the smile in her eyes did not change.
The old lady looked at her awkwardly.
Old Master An had already ordered the servants to bring the dishes to the table. At the same time, he turned his attention to Zuo Hancheng and realized that Zuo Hancheng seemed to be very concerned about his wife.
Zuo Hancheng, who was able to summon the wind and rain outside, was actually a gentle listener at this time.
Although Old Master An was old, he was not a simple person when he was young. Although he saw that Zuo Hancheng and Anhao were young people who came to visit and had a polite attitude, he could still feel the hidden edge in Zuo Hancheng’s calm and gentle attitude.
Their sharpness and coldness made Old Master An feel wary from time to time. He didn’t know their true intentions.
Old Master An stared at Zuo Hancheng for a while. Zuo Hancheng’s gaze, which was originally on Anhao and the old madam, paused for a moment. Suddenly, he turned his eyes and looked directly at Old Master An.
When he saw Zuo Hancheng’s calm and cold expression, Old Master An asked directly,””Han Cheng, is there any other reason for your visit? For example, does Old Zuo want you to pass a message to me, or?”
Under Old Master An’s questioning, Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly.””Grandfather indeed sent me here to give Elder An a big gift.”
“Oh? What gift?” Elder An’s intuition told him that a gift that could be described as a big gift by someone like Zuo Hancheng was definitely not simple.
However, Zuo Hancheng’s gaze was fixed on Anhao, who was beside him.
Anhao acted as if it had nothing to do with her and smiled at Grandpa An.”In the face of the An family’s generous hospitality, it would indeed be unreasonable if the Zuo family really didn’t prepare any big gifts.”
“It seems that this gift is very mysterious?” Grandpa An raised his eyebrows. You guys have really aroused my curiosity. This old man’s curiosity is not so easy to arouse. Tell me, what is it related to?”
Anhao smiled again and did not answer immediately. Zuo Hancheng was obviously not prepared to give Old Master An a quick death.
At this moment, the old madam’s expression was hidden under the light, making it difficult for others to see her clearly. It was not until the servant suddenly handed a phone to Old Master An that Old Master An took the phone. He immediately threw the phone back to the servant with an ugly expression.
“Your unfilial daughter is coming back soon!”Grandpa An looked at the old lady and said with an ugly expression,
