Chapter 918: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Unable to Be an Elder (3)
The moment Mother Zuo opened the door, she looked at the man outside with a smile.”Chengfeng, I haven’t seen you for so many years. I almost couldn’t recognize you. Quick, come in and sit!”
Zuo Yue, on the other hand, stood rooted to the spot and looked at the man with a dumbfounded expression. When he walked through the door with a faint smile on his face, he still gave off a slightly indifferent feeling, but in front of Xu Yuan, he still gave off a more human feeling.
When the man caught a glimpse of Zuo Yue who was standing by the sofa as if she had been petrified, his brows twitched slightly the moment he saw her. However, he was not as surprised as Zuo Yue. It was as if he had never seen her before. He even asked with a smile like an elder meeting a junior for the first time,”This is your precious daughter?”
The question was obviously directed at Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan smiled and walked to Zuo Yue’s side.”That’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right,’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right,’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right,’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’”
“Zuo Yue, hurry up and call me uncle.”Xu Yuan saw that Zuo Yue was completely out of sorts, so she patted her arm lightly.””Hurry up and call for help. This is your little uncle.”
Zuo Yue snapped back to her senses and looked up at the man who was only a few steps away from her. There was a faint smile in his eyes, but it was as cold as the peak of a distant mountain, revealing an incomprehensible emotion.
However, with her mother beside her, she did not dare to say anything more. She could only say in a low voice with an awkward and awkward expression,”Little…Uncle…”
It turned out that he was the uncle she had heard about from her parents. She had never seen him before. It was said that his uncle, Xu Chengfeng, had been developing his career in Russia for the past few years.
Xu Chengfeng did not seem to be dissatisfied with her insincerity and impoliteness when he heard her address him in a soft and gentle manner. He merely curled his lips slightly but did not respond to her verbally.
What a…High and mighty, high and mighty
Her mother actually wanted to temporarily hand her over to him to look after such a person. Was there any justice in this world?

An hour later.
Zuo Yue’s mother, Xu Yuan, was busy cooking in the kitchen. Zuo Yue was sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed over her chest. She looked at Xu Chengfeng, who was sitting opposite her, as if she was going to punish him.
She couldn’t help but size up the man in the dark gray shirt in front of her. Although he looked like a high-class business elite, and although she was stunned when she saw this handsome face through the blood, she looked at him as if he was a stranger.
The man sitting in front of her was actually her uncle. She sized him up for a long time. Although she was looking at him as if he was a so-called relative or an elder, she still sighed at his well-defined handsome face. It was too easy for women to fall in love with him.
Tsk, even if she suspected that there was a grudge not long ago, his naturally noble and aloof attitude made Zuo Yue’s face turn cold. She kept staring at him.
She wished she could poke a hole in his body with her eyes!
“Zuo Yue, why don’t you accompany your uncle and talk? I’ve been in the kitchen for so long, but I haven’t heard the two of you talking. You’ve been studying in Boston for the past few years, and your uncle has been taking care of you.”
Zuo Yue’s mother, Xu Yuan’s voice came from the kitchen, but it was as if she did not hear it. She continued to stare at Xu Chengfeng.
Xu Chengfeng did not react to her childish glare. He only curled his thin lips slightly, and his eyes were filled with a hint of cold mockery.
Xu Yuan found it strange that there was still no sound outside. She put down the fish that she had just cleaned and walked to the kitchen door while wiping her hands. Seeing that Zuo Yue seemed to be looking at Xu Chengfeng, he thought that she was curious about this uncle whom he had never seen before. He smiled and said,””Chengfeng, Zuo Yue is still young and has always been spoiled by your brother-in-law and me. If there’s anything impolite, please bear with it.”
“It’s okay. He’s just a child. He’ll be sensible in a few years.”
Xu Chengfeng’s tone sounded a little casual, but the faint smile on his handsome face was a little cold like the morning fog, making people inexplicably shudder.
“Sigh, although I always say that Zuo Yue is still young, how can she be considered a child? She’s already eighteen years old, but her personality still seems like she’ll never grow up. However, she’s too opinionated and has never listened to her parents.”
“Mom!” Zuo Yue suddenly turned her eyes.” Even if Uncle is my elder, do you have to scold me non-stop the moment you see him?””
“Aiya, our Zuo Yue is embarrassed by what she said. I thought you were thick-skinned enough to not care about anything. In the past, when I talked about you, you would ignore it and leave after listening to it. Why are you unhappy this time?””If I don’t tell your uncle about your situation first, I’m afraid that he’ll find out that you’re like a wild pony and won’t know where to start.” Xu Yuan smiled.”
“I live here alone. It’s good that I go to class on time every day. There’s no need to find someone to ‘take care’ of me!”Zuo Yue’s face was full of displeasure as she said,” Besides, if you really want to find someone to take care of me, you should find someone from the uncle’s generation, grandfather’s generation, or aunt’s generation. This uncle is too…”
After Zuo Yue paused for a moment, she looked at Xu Chengfeng, who was still calm and composed, and muttered softly,””He’s too young. I can’t treat him as an elder at all…”
Xu Chengfeng seemed to agree with what she said. He did not hide his disgust for taking care of her. It turned out that everything was arranged by her mother. She did not really want to take care of her at all!
When she saw his attitude that was even more disdainful than hers, Zuo Yue immediately stood up and was about to turn around to reason with her mother. Anyway, she definitely would not leave with this man!
“Child, stop talking nonsense. Even if your uncle is only nine years older than you, he is still your elder. Moreover, it’s rare for your little uncle to return to the United States for a period of time, and he agreed to help me take care of you. You don’t even know how rare it is!”
Zuo Yue held back her words and did not say anything. She only glanced at the man who was still calm and did not intend to interrupt the argument between the mother and daughter with an ugly expression.
“Also, although your uncle has been doing business in Russia and has tens of billions of assets under his name, he also has some business and work in the United States. He definitely won’t have time to care about you every day.”
