Chapter 839: Zuo Hancheng’s Wounds (3)

The moment she saw Zuo Hancheng and Anhao, her boiling emotions calmed down.

However, she did not want Zuo Hancheng to notice the impulsiveness and anxiety in her heart. She could only say,”I can’t sleep. I want to go out for a walk.”

However, just as she finished her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already walked in. He raised his hand and gently grabbed her shoulder, turning her around. He closed the door with one hand and forced her back into the guest room with the other.

“You want to look for Anping?” Zuo Hancheng sent her to the bedside and did not let her leave rashly. As he spoke, he glanced at the empty cup on the bedside table.

The room was filled with the smell of herbal tea. Zuo Hancheng shifted his gaze from the cup to Anhao’s face.”You’ve only been in the Andersons for a few hours and you’re already not calm?”

“I just feel that things seem to be different from what I imagined.”Anhao raised her head and looked at him.” The old madam seems to have recognized me and seems to know of my existence. Before this, I was just suspicious. But she was so concerned about me and asked the servants to bring me medicinal tea. She even cared about my health. It’s obvious that she’s not as cold as I thought. It’s not that she doesn’t recognize me as her granddaughter.””

Zuo Hancheng listened to Anhao’s words and did not refute her. He only looked at the troubled emotions in her eyes and raised his hand to caress her head.”I know that you’re very anxious now, but calm down first. Things are indeed different from what you thought, but Mrs. Hunt is not Mr. Hunt. You don’t know the An family’s situation yet. If we expose the matter now, we won’t be able to achieve the effect we want.”

“What effect?” Anhao remembered that Zuo Hancheng had said that he wanted to bring her back to win a battle. Initially, she did have this goal, but now that things were different from what she had imagined, she did not know what to do.

Zuo Hancheng did not answer. He simply unbuttoned the exquisite cufflinks on his sleeves and said calmly,””Regarding your background, the root of the problem lies with Old Master An. Anping and Old Madam are both the passive ones. As for Anxin…”

Zuo Hancheng suddenly paused and changed the topic.””In short, now is not the time.”

“Is my father the man they’re talking about?”Anhao suddenly asked.

Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. He just looked at her.

After a short silence, Zuo Hancheng said,””Yes.”

Anhao’s eyes met his, and her expression gradually froze. The doubts that weighed heavily on her heart forced her to become even calmer in an instant, as if she was the same as Zuo Hancheng in front of her.

There was a condensed yet subtle atmosphere floating in the air.

What kind of man and what kind of problem could make Old Master An break off his father-daughter relationship? After all, An Ping was the only daughter and the An family had no other children.

If this matter really lingered in the An family for more than 20 years, wouldn’t it mean that the An family had never truly been at peace for the past 20 years?

Remembering what An Ping said just now, Anhao asked,””Elder An asked you to talk to him just now. What did you talk about?”

Based on her understanding of Zuo Hancheng, she believed that no matter what Old Master An had seen through, he would not be able to get anything out of Zuo Hancheng.

However, she was curious about what Zuo Hancheng would say to Old Master An.
