Chapter 264 - Chapter 264: The Zuo Family of the United States (4) (2/2)

However, this was probably the safest place for Anhao in the Zuo residence.

She walked in and walked straight to the French window in front of her. From afar, she realized that she could see the spot where they were standing earlier.

However, Zuo Hancheng and the old man had disappeared.

The sky had gradually darkened. She guessed that he had gone somewhere to sit down and chat. In short, this place was too big. Anhao did not know where Zuo Hancheng had gone, but she could not hide the worry in her heart.

This time, she did not hide the feelings in her heart like before. She turned around instinctively and looked at Zuo Yue. “The relationship between Zuo Hancheng and the Zuo family doesn’t seem to be as simple as I thought. You didn’t tell me before. Why did he get into such a mess with the old master?”

Zuo Yue pursed her lips.” This has been a taboo in our Zuo family for so many years. It can also be considered a taboo for my brother, so we usually don’t say it.” My brother definitely wouldn’t mention it himself. Even when he moved the company out of the United States, there were countless rumors circulating in the Chinese and American business circles at that time, but my brother did not explain a single word. The funniest thing back then was that someone said that my brother was hurt by love.”

Anhao was embarrassed. She even believed that rumor and felt ashamed in her heart.

“But now that my brother is back, he has to face what he has to face sooner or later. Besides, my brother really brought you back with him. It’s obvious that my brother really intends to acknowledge you as Mrs. Zuo.”Zuo Yue’s gaze was no longer as mischievous as before. She sat by the bed and said, “”Sister-in-law, you know that in a family like the Zuo family, my brother and I are basically destined to have a business marriage.”

Anhao’s eyelids twitched when she heard that.”

“Yes, it’s Chengxin.” Zuo Yue said,” Miss Cheng is also a socialite from a Chinese family. She’s a few years younger than my brother. She’s pretty and cute, and her personality is quite likable. She’s especially liked by my grandfather.” Additionally, the other companies and consortiums of the Zuo family have to cooperate with the Cheng family. Therefore, my grandpa always wanted my brother to marry the young lady of the Cheng family, but my brother didn’t agree.”

“When my brother left five years ago, even though I was still very young, my heart ached for him. By the way, I wonder if you have heard of the name Rongxue…”

“I know her.” Anhao said.

Zuo Yue was a little surprised by Anhao’s calmness. She looked at her for a while before continuing, “”My grandfather hates people in the entertainment industry. He said that they are all actors and are not worthy of entering the Zuo family. At that time, he also exerted a lot of pressure on Rongxue. Later on, my brother and Rongxue seemed to have broken up because of a huge misunderstanding. Grandpa kept adding fuel to the fire, saying that Rongxue was the one who held him back. He even kept forcing my brother to marry Chengxin. Anyway, Grandpa said a lot of things that went too far, including doing things that went too far. In the end, my brother couldn’t take it anymore and abandoned his identity as the sole heir of the Zuo family’s business. He left with only Shengling Group that belonged to him and stayed far away.”

“Grandfather once said that if he doesn’t marry Chengxin, he’ll get as far away as possible. My brother was also annoyed by my grandfather’s coercion. Even when my grandfather threatened him with his death, my brother still did not agree, so my brother moved the company to China. First of all, our ancestors were originally Chinese, and secondly… It’s because…”

Zuo Yue suddenly smiled bitterly.” Because in terms of land, China is the furthest away from the United States. My brother would rather give up the inheritance rights of the Zuo family than marry Chengxin.”‘

“Sister-in-law, you’re not in the business world, so you don’t know how much my brother has given up. Shengling Group seems very big to you, right? However, the Zuo family’s assets are many times larger than Shengling Group’s. The Zuo family has been established in the United States for 200 years and has been in business for several generations, so you can imagine it.”

Anhao listened for a long time without saying anything, because she suddenly realized that the former Zuo Hancheng that Zuo Yue was talking about was not the same person as the low-key, calm, and warm Zuo Hancheng that she knew.

She had thought that Zuo Hancheng would be proud of everything and would never have any bad intentions. She had never thought that he would have so many past events behind his back and that he had no choice but to escape.

“My brother is actually a very filial person. He has always been very polite and respectful to his parents and grandfather. He has always been the pride of the Zuo family since he was young, but even grandfather did not expect him to leave so completely in the end. He did not even come back for five years and did not even call. If my mother hadn’t called my brother to ask about his recent situation, my brother would have cut off all ties with the Zuo family..”
