Chapter 958: Enemies on a Narrow Road (43)

She had wanted to walk behind him and ask him why he had never promised her anything so readily before.

Was this because she was in the Xu family and it was her mother’s request?

Zuo Yue walked behind Xu Chengfeng. Before she could say anything, Xu Chengfeng looked back at the clothes she was wearing, as if he could not understand why Xu Yuan suddenly asked her to go out and buy a dress.

As Xu Yuan was talking to a servant who walked past her, Zuo Yue could not explain to Xu Chengfeng.

“Alright, I’ll be right there.” Xu Yuan said to the servant beside her and turned to look at them.” Chengfeng, Father is awake, but he’s not feeling very well for the time being. I’ll go and take a look. The doctor will be here in a while. You go out with Zuo Yue first and help me look after her. Don’t let her wander around.””

“Mom, I’m not a child…” Zuo Yue muttered.

Xu Yuan snorted.” Don’t think that I don’t know you. You’re too familiar with the shopping streets in Los Angeles. You’re so familiar that you can sneak away at any time. I’ll be at ease if your uncle keeps an eye on you.”

Before Zuo Yue could say anything, Xu Chengfeng glanced at her indifferently.””Still not leaving?”

“Oh, let’s go then…” Zuo Yue’s heart skipped a beat when she met his gaze. She immediately lowered her head and put her hands into the pockets on both sides of her clothes at the same time. She looked very relaxed, but standing behind Xu Chengfeng, she felt a strange pressure.

Xu Chengfeng obviously did not notice the change in her mood. He only made sure that her clothes were warm enough to prevent her from catching a cold when she went out later. Then, he walked out without greeting anyone in the Xu family.

Zuo Yue jogged behind him. When she saw him driving, she sat in the front passenger seat and asked,””Where did Ainte go?”

“He has his own things to do.” Xu Chengfeng’s indifferent words made her swallow the question that was on the tip of her tongue.

Zuo Yue did not say anything else until Xu Chengfeng drove her out of the Xu family’s house. She glanced out of the car window and peeked at the man beside her from the corner of her eye.

Seeing that his lips were still a little pale, she couldn’t help but say,””Uncle, if you haven’t recovered from your cold, come out with me. If you really can’t do it, park the car in front and find a place to sleep. I’ll go shopping by myself.”

“It’s alright.” Xu Chengfeng held the steering wheel steadily as he spoke. At the same time, he glanced at her.”There’s nothing wrong with your clothes. Why do you suddenly want to go out and buy a dress?”

“Go ask my mom. Women who go through menopause are too scary. No decision can be disobeyed.”Zuo Yue grumbled.

Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows. His eyes were noncommittal, but he did not say anything else. At the same time, he sped up, not intending to waste any more time on the road.

When they arrived at the commercial street, Zuo Yue looked at the pedestrian street inside and said,””I’ll go buy it myself. You rest in the car for a while and wait for me. I’ll buy one and take it back immediately.”

Xu Chengfeng did not seem to intend to accompany her all the time. He only unlocked the main control lock in the car and allowed her to open the door and get out of the car.

Zuo Yue got out of the car, turned around, and walked quickly to the pedestrian street. She really did not like to wear dresses. The reason why she only wore student dresses every day in Boston was because she really did not like the clothes that Xu Yuan bought for her. Therefore, she would rather wear student dresses to show off than wear them so delicately.

Perhaps it was because she had met a weirdo who liked to wear dresses and dressed like a little princess every day when she was young, so she really had a strong resistance to those dresses.

When she walked to a haute couture store, she glanced at the designer’s name and vaguely remembered that the famous designer had once made all kinds of gowns for a Hollywood star.

Then she would go in and see if there were any dresses suitable for her in this designer’s shop.

Zuo Yue walked in that direction and looked back in the direction of the pedestrian street. Xu Chengfeng’s car was parked in the parking lot on the pedestrian street and did not leave. It looked like it had been turned off. Today was not the weekend. Although there were many people on the street, it was not as noisy. He should be able to rest for a while.

He probably didn’t have time to rest when he was at the Xu family’s house just now. After returning to the Zuo family’s house, he would have to see his grandfather. He probably didn’t have time to rest either. She would shop around a little longer and give him more time to rest.

Zuo Yue walked into the shop as she thought about it. She had seen a beige dress in the window just now. It was very unique. After she walked in, she was about to ask if the beige dress was for sale. However, as soon as she entered, she suddenly saw a young man and woman walking out. She did not recognize the tall man, but she recognized the cute and dainty woman even if she turned into ashes.

The woman also saw Zuo Yue entering the room at once. She immediately smiled at her as if she had discovered something new.”Zuo Yue? Long time no see. Why are you here? Are you here to try on the gown because you’re getting engaged?”

The girl in front of him was a Chinese girl who grew up with Zuo Yue. Her name was Lian Keying. She liked all kinds of dresses and princess-like outfits since she was young. She was full of femininity.

It was fine if it was just this, but she was the weirdo that left a shadow in Zuo Yue’s childhood memories.

Although Lian Keying’s family wasn’t as big as the Zuo family and was just an ordinary Chinese child who did business in the United States, she liked to snatch things from a young age and liked to show off in front of others.

Zuo Yue was unlucky enough to be with her from kindergarten to primary school to middle school. Because Zuo Yue was a little stubborn and did not like to show off in front of others, Lian Keying always played a role by her side. Sometimes, the teacher could not help but ask her to learn from Lian Keying and learn her character. She even said that Lian Keying had been beautiful and cute since she was young.

Zuo Yue did not think much of it, but Lian Keying was used to stealing the limelight. She even fell down the stairs because she did not want to participate in the sports meet. In order not to let the teacher suspect that she did not want to attend the An family’s sports meet, she insisted that Zuo Yue pushed her and pushed the responsibility of her not being able to participate in the sports meet to Zuo Yue.

Lian Keying’s parents had a small project with Zuo Corporation, so Lian Keying had gone to the Zuo family when she was young.

What Lian Keying had done in the Zuo family made Zuo Yue avoid her even more.

When she saw Zuo Yue’s little doll, jewelry, and many cute little things, she would look for the adults with a pitiful face and tell them that she liked those things. Her grandfather was also an old stubborn person. He felt that since the child liked these little things, it was fine for him to take them. Therefore, regardless of whether Zuo Yue was happy or not, Lian Ke Ying would take away those little things that she liked with her grandfather’s support.
