Chapter 1022: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Suspicion (107)

“Like what?” Xu Chengfeng asked coldly.

Seeing Xu Chengfeng’s indifferent attitude, Xu Yuan knew that he never liked others to get too involved in his private affairs.

But that figure just now…

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and did not say anything else. She took the stack of documents and turned to leave. However, just as she was about to leave the office, she suddenly picked up her phone and looked for the number while saying,”I rushed over today and had to fly back to Los Angeles in the middle of the night. I don’t know if Zuo Yue is out of school now. At least we should have dinner together before leaving. Last time, she was so seriously ill, but that brat didn’t even call me. I have to teach her a lesson when I call her out for dinner.”

Just as Xu Yuan finished speaking, Zuo Yue remembered her phone. She hurriedly took out her phone from her bag, but it was too late. Her phone rang instantly. When she saw that it was her mother’s phone number on the screen, Zuo Yue felt a chill down her spine. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She even forgot to hang up and just stared at the phone screen blankly.

Xu Yuan’s entire body trembled when she heard Zuo Yue’s ringtone. She turned her eyes to the direction behind her and looked at the place where the ringtone had sounded. Her gaze was fixed in the direction of the office desk. Then, she gradually turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, her eyes filled with shock and loneliness.

Zuo Yue lowered her head in frustration under her desk. She hated herself for not turning her phone to silent earlier. She bit her lip tightly and was suddenly extremely afraid.

However, Xu Chengfeng was standing at the side of the desk. His expression was calm and indifferent as if nothing had happened. He turned around and walked slowly to the desk. He casually opened the drawer and took the opportunity when Xu Yuan could not see the scene behind his desk to easily pick up the phone in Zuo Yue’s hand. At the same time, he closed the drawer and raised the phone. He said expressionlessly,”You really should discipline your daughter’s habit of forgetting things. When that girl came to my office last night and waited for me to bring her to dinner, she left her phone in my office. Just in time, when you see her tonight, pass it to her for me. I still have something to do tonight, so I might not be able to attend the dinner between you and your daughter.”

The stiffness in Xu Yuan’s eyes gradually eased as she walked toward him.

However, Xu Yuan’s footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Zuo Yue’s figure, which was hiding under the desk, became stiffer and stiffer.

When Xu Yuan walked to the office desk, she still looked at the wide desk with a lonely and suspicious gaze. However, Zuo Yue usually had the habit of losing things carelessly. She would often be so careless that she would lose her phone or forget it somewhere.

This kind of explanation was indeed the most perfect and most suitable for Zuo Yue’s personality. However, after Xu Yuan took the phone, she glanced at the missed calls on it and then looked at the indifference and impatience in Xu Chengfeng’s eyes.” I heard that Zuo Yue has been hospitalized for a period of time after she got pneumonias. I haven’t had time to call her recently. That girl, she…”

“I’m only responsible for taking care of her, ensuring that she’s not sick and that her studies aren’t delayed too much. This is my responsibility. As for the rest, you should ask her yourself and not ask too many questions here.”Xu Chengfeng’s attitude was still so indifferent that no one could tell his emotions.” I’m her uncle, not her father. There’s no need to focus all your attention on a little girl.”

Hearing this, Xu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. The thought that had suddenly popped up in her mind had scared her so much that she was about to go crazy. Now that she saw that Xu Chengfeng was still ignoring Zuo Yue, she sighed and laughed.” Forget it. I know how childish Zuo Yue’s personality is usually. I also know that you like mature and sensible girls. It was indeed a little overboard of me to force her to be by your side. However, in the end, I only wanted to use that child to let you feel the existence of family. I wanted you to try to accept the Xu family and accept us…”

“Whether you accept it or not, wait until you investigate the information about me being born in the hospital more than 20 years ago and being mistaken. Isn’t the old man angry and wants to investigate whether I’m his biological son? It’s still too early to talk about kinship. Investigate it clearly. I’m happy to accompany you.”Xu Chengfeng said coldly.

Xu Yuan sighed.” Dad wants to hand over all the assets of the Xu Corporation to you, but a few directors of the Xu Corporation have doubts about your background. After discussing it with Dad, we decided to investigate what happened to you in the hospital back then. Finally, we will produce strong evidence to convince them. Only then can the Xu family’s assets be transferred to you smoothly.”

Xu Chengfeng smiled noncommittally.” It seems that the KP Group can’t swallow such a big financial group like the Xu Corporation. It’s much better for the two to co-exist than to swallow each other.””

” Chengfeng, although Zuo Yue and I are from the Xu family, we are still married into the Zuo family. Zuo Yue’s surname is also Zuo. In the future, a part of the Zuo family will belong to her. Everything in the Xu family can only belong to you. Don’t expect me to go back and share this cup of Geng. One Zuo family is already enough to make your brother-in-law and I anxious. We are getting old, and Hancheng won’t come back to take over the Zuo family. Can you stop making things difficult for me?””

Xu Chengfeng did not say anything and looked at her indifferently. It was obvious from his eyes that he did not intend to continue talking about this matter.

Xu Yuan didn’t say anything more, but her eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the desk.””Doesn’t your girlfriend feel uncomfortable hiding there? No matter how convenient it was to hide under the desk, it wouldn’t be comfortable for so long, right? I’m not a scary person, and I’m not going to be her future mother-in-law. Why am I hiding?”

As she spoke, she gripped the phone in her hand tightly. Although she had already abandoned that terrifying thought, she still wanted to see it clearly.

She needed to confirm that the girl was not who she thought she was.

When Zuo Yue heard her mother’s words, her body that was curled up under the desk stiffened. She quickly lowered her head and buried her head in her knees. The only person who could save her now was her uncle…

However, if her mother really suspected something and continued to ask to see her, it would only arouse her mother’s suspicion if her uncle continued to stop her.

What should he do?

“I believe that the girl that Chengfeng likes will definitely be very outstanding. Besides, Chengfeng is not married and there is nothing much going on between them. Since they are just dating openly, even if Sister saw them being intimate, there is no need to be so scared.”Xu Yuan smiled and said,” Don’t hide anymore. Do you want to have dinner together tonight? I have a daughter called Zuo Yue. She’s a very interesting girl. Maybe you two can get along. If everything goes well, we’ll be a family in the future. Come out and meet her.””
