Chapter 958: Mrs. Zuo’s Worries
"No, no, no, it’s nothing to do with Zuo Hong, it’s not him.""Not him? Then who?"
Zoe Lewis found it hard to say that it was her cousin who hit her. Having such a terrible relationship with her sister was not something to be proud of.
"It’s nothing, I just accidentally bumped myself. Let’s go quickly!"
Mrs. Zuo didn’t argue with her about whether it was her son who hit her. She thought she would find out once she spoke to him.
She thought her son wouldn’t resort to hitting people. His way of venting emotions had always been just one thing—mining coal.
But if it wasn’t her son, then who did Zoe get into a conflict with in such a short time?
And who would slap her in the face?
Such a good girl, lively and cheerful, lovely and adorable. She even wished Zoe were her own daughter. How could someone bear to hit her face so hard?
Zoe herself didn’t care much about the slap. She had avenged it, feeling quite pleased, especially since she and Cherry Lewis had held grudges for a long time—it was no longer just about one slap or two.
She was just a bit worried about Zuo Hong.
So on the way to the airport, when Mrs. Zuo asked about their quarrel, Zoe ended up telling the truth.
She hadn’t really figured out Zuo Hong’s temperament yet, so she admitted a bit guiltily, "He might not like me touching him. He said if I touched him again, he’d chop off my hand. Auntie, I’m sorry, I didn’t know his germaphobia was this serious."
Mrs. Zuo was stunned!
Her son wasn’t a germaphobe at all!
He got himself as dirty as a piece of coal when mining and didn’t mind. So why did he burst into such a rage when Zoe touched him?
No wonder he took a shower as soon as he got home, even throwing away the shirt.
This was really worrying. Not letting his girlfriend touch him, what was that about? Could it be her son had some hidden ailment she didn’t know about?
She exchanged a glance with Mr. Zuo, both seeing concern in each other’s eyes.
Could their son possibly be impotent?
So he avoided girls touching him, leading to such a bad mood that he wanted to go back to coal mining?
From a young age, their son was exceptionally intelligent. While others went to school, he mined coal. While others attended tutoring classes, he still mined coal, but he never ranked second in elementary, middle, or high school in S City. His grades were always unusually consistent, always first.
In the eyes of children, being first comes with a certain dazzling aura, and Zuo Hong was already handsome. Girls who chased after him could circle the coal mine three hundred times.
He never paid attention to them, only cared about mining coal.
Initially to make money, later to vent.
But what he was really venting, no one knew.
Now Mrs. Zuo wondered if her son had long known about his condition and felt frustrated, hence needing to vent.
She felt both heartache and guilt; if only she had taken her son to a doctor earlier!
The three of them each had their own worries, creating a stifling atmosphere.
Zoe Lewis couldn’t even be bothered to dig into Zuo Hong’s gossip at this point, and Mrs. Zuo couldn’t focus on building a good impression of her son in front of Zoe.
The son wouldn’t let anyone touch him, so having a good impression didn’t matter!
S City is nationally famous for its rich coal deposits, but it’s not particularly developed.
The air here is heavily polluted, with low vegetation cover, and coal mining has caused large-scale ground subsidence in many areas.
In the early years, everyone exploited the resources recklessly for profit, emptying many coal mines. S City’s economy once flourished, but it has now declined.
As a result, there aren’t many flights from A City to S City, and Zoe Lewis and her party waited at the airport for nearly two hours before boarding. More than three hours later, the plane arrived in S City.
