nChapter 831: The Andersons in America (5)

nAnhao’s lips twitched when she heard the old madam’s words.

nWhy did this hot-tempered old man An sound so…It was a little cute…

n“When have I ever pretended to be dead? That was because your daughter was so angry that she couldn’t catch her breath for a while. The servant ran over to tell you that I was dying and asked you to come out and take a look. What did it have to do with me?”Grandpa An grumbled unhappily.

n“Heh, that’s right. After I came out, I don’t know who was lying there motionless and even asked the servant to cover your head with a white cloth.”

nAs soon as Mrs. Anderson finished speaking, Grandpa Anderson’s face instantly darkened. At the same time, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from the door behind him.

nMrs. Anderson looked in that direction.”Who’s there?”

nOld Master An immediately turned around and looked in that direction. When he saw Zuo Hancheng and Anhao walking in from the door, he immediately pointed at them as if he had evidence and said,”Look, look, I told you that the child from the Zuo family, Hancheng, is here. He even brought his wife with him. I didn’t lie to you.”

nMrs. Anderson ignored Grandpa An’s deliberate attempt to explain loudly. She only saw Zuo Hancheng and Anhao walking closer. She then saw the faint and polite smile in Zuo Hancheng’s eyes. She then saw Anhao, who had been trying to hold back her laughter earlier, but now looked embarrassed.

nThe moment she saw Anhao, Mrs. Anderson was also a little surprised. However, that surprise was fleeting. She looked at Anhao for a while before smiling kindly and saying, You are the wife of the Zuo family’s Sun family?”

n“Old Madam An is good.” Anhao couldn’t help but be amused by the way they interacted with each other. Her eyes were a little red because she was trying to hold back her laughter. Her face was also a little pink, and she looked a lot more rosy than usual.

nIn the eyes of the old lady, Anhao looked especially intimate. The old lady smiled at her for a while, but she was not angry at Anhao’s sudden smile. Instead, she turned to Zuo Hancheng, who had been standing beside Anhao the whole time.”You’ve grown up in Hancheng. I’ve forgotten how many years it has been since I last saw you. You were still a child then.”

nAs he spoke, Old Master An interjected, but his face was cold as he maintained the attitude of the head of the family in front of outsiders.”This child, Hancheng, came to visit us. I asked the servant to call you out.”

nThe corners of Anhao’s mouth twitched as she looked at Old Master An. When she saw his expression, the smile in her eyes deepened as she tried to hold back her laughter.

n“At least you didn’t lie to me this time.” However, Mrs. Anderson did not give him any face at all. After giving him another lukewarm look, she smiled at Zuo Hancheng, who had been calm all this while.”Don’t stand here. Didn’t we already prepare a banquet? Come, go and sit. You’re not an outsider in Hancheng. Just treat this place as your own home. There’s also your wife in Hancheng…”

nMrs. Anderson looked at Anhao again, but she paused for a moment. She didn’t know how to address this lady whom she had met for the first time.

n“Mrs. Anderson, you can just call me Anhao.”Anhao smiled.

nThe smile in Anhao’s old man’s eyes was instantly surprised when he heard Anhao’s name. However, the surprise in his eyes disappeared for a moment. He stared at Anhao’s face firmly and suddenly looked at her from top to bottom. After looking at her for a long time, he suddenly looked at Zuo Hancheng who was beside Anhao.

n“Old Furen, please.” Zuo Hancheng did not seem to notice the doubt in Mrs. Anderson’s eyes. He merely raised his hand slightly as a guest, signaling for Mrs. Anderson and Old Master An to walk in front.

nThe old madam’s gaze slowly shifted away, and her gaze was indistinct as if she did not know where to look. When Old Master An walked to her side and asked her if she was feeling unwell, she suddenly frowned and said coldly,”No, I haven’t.”

nJust as Grandpa An instructed the servant to open the door to the dining room, the two old men walked in front to lead the way. Anhao still stood where she was and watched Mrs. Anderson’s back view.

nZuo Hancheng placed his hand on her waist and hugged her. He said casually,””Let’s wait and see.”

nShe suddenly looked up at him.

nWhen Madam Anhao and Old Master An walked into the dining room, Old Madam Anhao turned around and looked behind her. When she saw that Zuo Hancheng and Anhao did not come in soon, she suddenly turned to look at Old Master An.”When will Anping and Anxin come back?”

nWhen he heard her mention her unfilial daughter and her disobedient granddaughter, the smile that had just risen on Old Master An’s face because of Zuo Hancheng and Anhao’s existence immediately cooled down.

n“It’s best if you don’t come back for the rest of your life. Why are you asking so many questions?”Old Master An was very impatient.” One is in his fifties, and the other is in his twenties. There’s not a single child in this family who doesn’t need to worry. You’re still in the ancestral hall every day, and you’re too lazy to even come out to see me. If it weren’t for Hancheng and Anhao, the two children, who would specially come to see me on behalf of Old Master Zuo, our An family really hasn’t been so lively for a long time. Don’t mention Anping and Anxin in front of me. It’s best if they don’t come back!”

nMrs. Anderson frowned secretly. When she turned around, she saw that Zuo Hancheng had already walked over with Anhao.

nZuo Hancheng looked like a junior and was very polite and quiet. However, his clean and cold temperament made him look extremely noble and intimidating just by walking slowly with his wife.

nAlso, Zuo Hancheng did not speak much. His seemingly casual attitude was too easy to ignore. However, if one really paid attention to him, they would find that his gaze was cold and sharp. His silence was filled with an icy aura that made one shudder.

nBefore the old madam could look at Anhao who was beside Zuo Hancheng again, Anhao had already walked over with him.

nWhen Anhao met the old madam’s gaze, she thought of how the dignified old man was actually so cowardly in front of the old madam. She felt that this old madam must be someone with a special story.

nTo be able to keep a man like Old Master An by her side for the rest of her life and make him only care about her for the rest of his life, she was not really angry with this old lady even if she had to leave the family for eight years.

nIt was obvious that this old madam was a woman who was intelligent and knew how to endure.

nWhen their eyes met, Anhao smiled and said,””Old Madam, your body looks very healthy. I wonder if you and Old An have celebrated your golden wedding?”

n“Hmph, golden wedding.” Elder An did not wait for the old madam to speak and suddenly interrupted at the dining table.”Two years ago, it was the 50th golden wedding. That year, she spent it in the ancestral hall as if nothing had happened at all. It would have been fine if you didn’t mention it, but when you mention it, this old man’s heart is twitching with anger.”
