Mother Zuo was about to answer when a figure suddenly walked in from the door.

Chengxin walked in with a pale face. The thin dress on her body could not block the cold wind at night. Although Los Angeles was not as cold as the cities further north in winter, it was still very cold at night.

Anhao had just felt the bone-chilling cold wind and was too lazy to stand outside any longer, so she had walked straight back.

She didn’t expect Chengxin to wear less than her and stand outside for so long.

“What’s going on?” The old man’s sharp eyes noticed that Chengxin’s complexion was very bad. Her face was pale and she walked unsteadily. He couldn’t help but walk over quickly with his walking stick. “Why do you look so pale?”

As soon as he got close, he felt the cold air on Chengxin’s body. He immediately frowned and said,”Why did you run outside? How long have you been standing outside?”

Anhao also looked in Chengxin’s direction. She did not know why she had been standing at the fountain and refusing to leave. Could it be that she was really reminiscing about her childhood with Zuo Hancheng?

It was not to the extent of risking her life. There was already some water coming out of the fountain. In addition, the weather was so cold. Even if she was wearing a thick fur coat, the cold wind would blow through her. let alone a small dress.

As she was hesitating, Chengxin looked at the old man with a trembling gaze. There was a hint of grievance in her eyes, and then she suddenly turned to look in Anhao’s direction.

The moment Chengxin looked at her, Anhao instinctively felt a chill down her spine. She had a feeling that something was going to happen.

“I was just going out for a walk, but I saw Miss Gu at the Rainbow Fountain.”Chengxin said with a pale face. She looked like she was in a bad state, and her voice was soft and weak.”After I talked to Miss Gu for a while, she suddenly said that she had something to do and wanted to go back to the front hall. She asked me to wait for her at the fountain.

As she spoke, Chengxin’s eyes turned slightly red, but she refused to cry as if she was trying to be brave. She only said in confusion, “I didn’t know that Miss Gu would take so long to go back, so I waited for her at the fountain. I didn’t expect that she didn’t plan to go out at all and was actually here chatting with

Aunt Zuo.”

When the old man heard this, he immediately looked at Anhao with a pair of sharp eyes.

Anhao opened her mouth. She wanted to explain that there was no such thing, but when she saw the old man’s eyes, she immediately understood what Chengxin wanted to do.

Was she trying to ruin her image in front of the old man after the old man had no choice but to compromise with Zuo Hancheng and give up on the marriage with the Cheng family?

“But Grandpa, don’t blame Miss Gu. Perhaps Miss Gu just forgot that I’m still waiting for her outside. I thought Miss Gu had something to tell me, so I waited foolishly. I didn’t expect…”

Chengxin continued to add fuel to the fire in her soft voice, and the anger in the old man’s eyes grew even stronger.

Xu Yuan, who was sitting next to Anhao, looked at Chengxin in confusion and then at Anhao’s furrowed brows. Although she didn’t know the truth, she quickly said to ease the atmosphere,””Hurry back to your room and change into warm clothes. Then, drink some warm soup to prevent yourself from catching a cold. Aunt Wang, quickly send Miss Cheng off…”
