Chapter 1074: Asking the Moon on the Wind (159)
“After all, you’ve been by Zuo Yue’s side for the past few months. I think you should know the reason.”Xu Yuan looked at Xu Chengfeng, who remained silent.””She once told me that she likes a man, but it’s a man she can’t be with. Is that true?”
Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment before he slowly nodded.
“What kind of man is he? How could my daughter, who had finally become lively and cheerful, become like this?”Xu Yuan immediately stood up, her eyes filled with anger.
Xu Chengfeng closed his eyes and sighed.”He’s a bastard, a cold-blooded and heartless scumbag.”
Xu Yuan was stunned. She looked at him as if she had understood something, but at the same time, she didn’t seem to understand. She just looked at him for a long time and didn’t say anything.

Two days later.
Xu Chengfeng stood in front of the window in the hospital corridor and looked out at the heavy snow outside. The words that Xu Yuan said later that day echoed in his ears.
” Since he’s a scumbag, then let Zuo Yue leave him. Even if it means that Zuo Yue has to go to another school and not go to Boston anymore, even if it means that they have to cut off all contact from now on. In short, I will never allow my daughter to experience such a thing again. I will never allow her to be so desperate because of any harm she has suffered.”
Zuo Yue was still under observation in the ICU. Although it was not as serious as the time when she was young, it was a snowy night with a temperature of-10 ° C. Third-degree frostbite was no small matter. She had to be strictly observed. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
For two whole days, nearly 50 hours, Xu Chengfeng did not go in to see Zuo Yue again, and in these 50 hours, he did not close his eyes.
For two consecutive days, Zuo Yue’s fever would not subside, and her body would be so hot that she would need emergency treatment from the doctor. Otherwise, her body would suddenly drop to an abnormal level, and she would also need emergency treatment.
Xu Yuan was so exhausted that she temporarily waited in the waiting room next to the ICU every day. She would occasionally fall asleep and wake up from time to time.
Xu Chengfeng had been guarding the place the entire time. His entire body was extremely cold, as if he had suddenly been cut off from the entire world.
The sky gradually brightened. The closed door of the ICU suddenly opened, and the nurse who walked out said,”Miss Zuo has already woken up.”
Xu Chengfeng immediately turned around and looked in that direction. At the same time, Xu Yuan, who was resting at the side, heard the sound and quickly woke up. She got up and walked out quickly.”Is my daughter awake?”
The nurse nodded.” She’s awake, but she’s still a little unconscious. Although the doctor said that she’s almost out of danger, she’s still very weak for the time being. She still needs to be observed in the intensive care unit. You family members can’t visit her for more than two hours a day. After a few more days of observation, see if you can transfer her to the general ward.”
Hearing the nurse’s words, Xu Yuan finally heaved a long sigh of relief.”Thank you.”
After saying that, she was about to walk into the ICU. Just as she was about to enter, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, who was silently looking in her direction.
“Chengfeng, Zuo Yue’s emotions still need some time to stabilize. I’ll stay with her in the hospital for the next few days. Since she’s already awake, she probably won’t want to see anyone else.””I’ll have to trouble you to handle the matters of the Xu family and the company alone.” Xu Yuan’s voice was very soft.”
Xu Chengfeng nodded calmly.”
Xu Chengfeng did not explain further since he was obviously excluded from the ward.
No one in this world was a fool, let alone a shrewd person like Xu Yuan. After all, there were too many coincidences. After all, she could still sense the changes in her daughter.
Even if they didn’t dare to believe some of the guesses, they had already begun to carefully avoid them.
Xu Yuan took another deep look at him and walked in.
Xu Chengfeng stood quietly on the other side of the aisle with one hand in his trouser pocket.
When Ainte called, Xu Chengfeng picked up the phone. He glanced at the caller ID and put it to his ear. After a moment of silence, he said,””I understand.”
He put down his phone and looked at the ward again.
The tightly shut door was like a huge barrier in front of him. He used to be so careful that he did not want to step in. Now, his heart ached, he was worried, and he was anxious, but he was completely isolated outside the door.
*****
Five days later.
The matter with the Xu family was basically settled, and the relatives and friends who came to attend the funeral had also left. Other than losing an old man who was over 80 years old and died of illness, the Xu family seemed to be no different.
Although there were still a few directors in the Xu Group who were secretly stirring up trouble, they had no way to start because of Xu Chengfeng’s concealment.
Even though they kept talking about their family background, Xu Chengfeng’s methods and the pressure that the KP Group exerted on the Xu Corporation were not something that the directors could handle.
For five consecutive days, he had sent Xu Chengfeng alone to the Xu family to settle everything, but he couldn’t settle himself.
“Boss, you haven’t had much rest these past few days. I’ve heard from the hospital that Zuo Yue’s health has improved a lot. She can get out of bed and walk a few steps now and then, and she’s eating more. Everything is getting better, so don’t worry anymore.”Ainte pushed open the office door and walked in. He saw Xu Chengfeng reading a few documents on his tablet. As he read, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. For a moment, he could not help but persuade him.
Xu Chengfeng lowered his hand from between his eyebrows and looked at the tablet in his hand again. He raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently.”When will she be discharged?”
After a pause, Ainte said softly,”I’m not sure about that yet. Mrs. Zuo has been very strict with the hospital recently. She used Zuo Yue’s recent emotional instability as an excuse to prevent us from visiting her. Even the news from the hospital was barely found out after asking around and using some connections. Boss, Mrs. Zuo seems to have deliberately cut off the relationship between you and Zuo Yue.”
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything at first. After a moment, he put down the tablet and raised his hand to rub the space between his eyebrows again. The crease between his eyebrows still did not melt.
” It’s just some clues and suspicions. It’s precisely because of this suspicion that she would rather kill the wrong person than give Zuo Yue and me any other chance. From a mother’s point of view, what she did was not wrong.”Xu Chengfeng commented.
Ainte’s lips twitched.” You’re decisive. It’s been hard on you, Boss. You’ve been avoiding the little girl before. Now that the little girl’s body is in such a state, it’s difficult for you to even take a look at her. I see that you haven’t been sleeping or resting for the past few days. You often look at Zuo Yue’s photo on your phone and you’re in a daze…I say, Boss, is it that hard to admit your feelings for that little girl? When we went to A City back then, it was clearly not just because of Old Master Xu’s death. You didn’t sleep the night you received her call. Why did you…”
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Chengfeng’s cold gaze swept over him and he immediately shut his mouth.
