Hearing Mother Zuo’s words, although the awkwardness on Chengxin’s face eased a little, she still looked at Zuo Hancheng unwillingly because her words were too clear.
However, Zuo Hancheng had just returned and was the focus of everyone’s attention at the dining table. Yet, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him and picked up some of Anhao’s favorite dishes.
“Hancheng, don’t you think you should say something?”Old Master Zuo looked at him coldly.
Zuo Hancheng placed quite a few dishes in Anhao’s bowl before he put down the Chinese chopsticks in his hand. He looked up calmly and said,’”‘lt’s a family banquet after all. It’s rare for everyone to be together, so we just need to be happy and satisfied. We’re the adjudicators of the Zuo’s Group outside, so we have to be careful with our words and actions to avoid being caught by our subordinates or the media. Now that I’m rarely home, do I have to specially prepare some speeches?”
“You brat, you came back just to go against me?” Old Master Gong was furious.”
Zuo Hancheng’s gaze was gentle.” Grandpa, you kept saying that you wanted to see your granddaughter-in-law and your great-grandson. I thought that you had let go of your past obsession, but now you’re the first one to change your
attitude. What kind of attitude do you want me to use to face this so-called
family banquet?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng’s gaze only swept across Chengxin’s face indifferently, but it did not stop at all. It fell directly on the old man’s face.
“Why isn’t Chengxin having a family banquet here? She’s your Grandpa Cheng’s precious granddaughter. How many skills did you learn from me and your
Grandpa Cheng when you were young? You and Chengxin grew up together. Although her surname is Cheng, she’s no different from our family!”The old man frowned. His voice was very serious. It was obvious that he was complaining about Chengxin’s injustice.
Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly.” If Grandfather sees her as his god-granddaughter, of course there’s no problem. But why did Grandfather ask Miss Cheng to come to the Zuo family today? What you have in mind is your business, but Anhao and I will not allow any external interference or mistakes in our marriage.”
“Hancheng, I don’t want to interfere with your marriage with Miss Gu.”Chengxin, who had always been the cause of conflict, finally spoke. Her voice was sweet and soft, neither high nor low. It sounded like she was a socialite who had been strictly educated since she was young.
“It’s just that I haven’t seen you in five years. Grandpa said that you would be back today and asked me to come over for a family banquet. I didn’t expect it to cause such a misunderstanding.”
Then, Chengxin nodded at them.””Since I’m already sitting here, if I leave halfway, it’ll make the atmosphere even more awkward and it’ll be very impolite. Although Hancheng and Miss Gu might have misunderstood each other, I have been visiting the Zuo family to keep my grandfather company all these years. I came here today to visit my grandfather. I will not deliberately interfere in anyone’s marriage. Hancheng, my grandfather is right. You grew up with me, don’t you know my personality?”
Zuo Hancheng raised his handsome eyebrows lightly.”lt’s a good thing that you came to see Grandpa.”
His answer was simple but he did not respond to Chengxin’s main points.
Chengxin’s eyes were a little awkward, but her eyes were still lingering on Zuo Hancheng.
“You said that you were just here to see Grandpa. From the moment you came in, your eyes have been wandering around my brother.”Zuo Yue muttered at the side.
