Chapter 1042: So Close So Far (127)

The lights in the corridor on the second floor seemed to no longer sense any sound and would not light up again.

Looking at everything behind her, Zuo Yue fell into a long silence.

She thought that love was the most beautiful thing in the world, but she never thought that before she could get everything she wanted, when everything was about to be completely pulled out of her life, everything would be so desolate and painful.

“Miss Sun, did you leave something behind?”Wang Ma turned around and asked her.

Zuo Yue paused for a moment before shaking her head gently.””No more.”

“Then let’s go. If we’re any later, we won’t be able to catch the plane.”

Zuo Yue turned around and walked out of the door. She closed the door and did not look back.

*****

A week later…

The Zuo family in the United States.

“Zuo Yue went to Boston to study for half a year. How did she come back with such lousy results?”Old man Zuo saw Zuo Yue’s exam results and walked into the hall, muttering to himself.

At that time, Zuo Yue was sitting on the sofa by the window with a cat in her arms. Both the cat and the person were curled up lazily on the sofa and basking in the sun outside the window. When she heard the old man’s scolding after entering the door, she pretended not to hear it and continued to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep.

“Not long ago, Zuo Yue was hospitalized due to a severe case of pneumonias. After that, she seemed to have fallen ill again. She was hospitalized continuously and delayed quite a number of classes. I don’t think she did anything wrong with her results.”Father Zuo said with a smile as he walked in.

“My grandchildren should all be outstanding. Although that child Hancheng hasn’t come back for so many years, his examination results have never made us worry. Now look at Zuo Yue, is she really the biological daughter of our Zuo family? Why haven’t I seen her come back with full marks before?”

Zuo Yue suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at the old man who was holding a walking stick and criticizing her. Before her father could put in a good word for her, she let go of the cat in her arms and sat up.”Grandpa, can you not mention my brother every time you mention me? Or when he mentioned my brother, he scolded me along the way?”

“What’s wrong with scolding you? Look at your results. You still have the cheek to talk back to me?”Old Master Zuo turned around and glared at her.””Also, can you not keep a bunch of cats at home every time? The few months that you were away from the Zuo family, the house was much quieter, but the moment you came back, you brought those cats back! Don’t you know that your grandfather hates animals the most?”

Zuo Yue’s mouth twitched.” You know these cats too. They were all kept by my side. Before I went to Boston, I left them at a friend’s house. When I came back, I brought all the cats back. They’re not new. If you want to scold them, you’ve already scolded me in the past. There’s no need to dig up these old scores.”

“You!” Old Master Zuo looked at her angrily.””Wretched girl, you went out for half a year and learned how to talk back after coming back, right?”

Zuo Yue pursed her lips and did not say anything else.

She knew that she would be beaten up by her grandfather every day after she returned home. In the past, her brother grew up by her grandfather’s side. She did not know how her brother endured her grandfather’s temper for so many years.

However, in the end, his grandfather still personally angered his most proud grandson away. He was so angry that he didn’t come back for five years. Even in this state, this old man still didn’t know how to change his temper. It seemed that he wouldn’t stop until he angered everyone in the family away.

After all, Zuo Yue was a girl in the family. Her parents still protected her more or less. Moreover, she was still young, so there was a reason for them to protect her. Even Wang Ma would occasionally speak up for her.
