Chapter 457: What do You Mean by That?
What do you mean, he doesn’t deserve to be treated like this?
Although he didn’t have a good relations.h.i.+p with Yuting, Tiannan still respected him as a grandfather.
Moreover, he was the one who handled the many of their business dealings. Over the years, their business grew daily. s.h.i.+ Le didn’t feel that there was anything bad about Tiannan that was worth mentioning.
“What do you mean by that?” His tone was calm. He did not mean to question her. Instead, he wanted to know why she would suddenly say this.
s.h.i.+ Le had always been serious. In that moment, the rhetorical question lingered in Zuo Weiyi’s ears. Yet, it seemed like he was blaming her for making the comment about s.h.i.+ Tiannan. After thinking for a while, she pursed her lips and said, “No, I just feel that he…”
“Is it because he said those words that you don’t have a good impression of him?” s.h.i.+ Le interrupted her. He recalled last time s.h.i.+ Tiannan had said that he liked Weiyi in front of so many people.
In addition, he had imprisoned her that time, so her impression of him was not great.
Thinking of this, s.h.i.+ Le could not help but speak again. He picked the same tie as s.h.i.+ Yuting’s, but in a different color.
“Since you can say that, you must know that he is not related to our s.h.i.+ family by blood, right? Although that child is not my son’s biological son, he has always been well-behaved in this family and has never done anything out of line. Moreover, he is very capable and has always respected me.”
Hearing this, Zuo Weiyi fell silent.
If he knew that s.h.i.+ Tiannan was the one who attacked s.h.i.+ Yuting in Country Z, would he still say that?
And that time, he had handed this matter over to s.h.i.+ Tiannan, the real mastermind behind the scenes, to investigate. This undoubtedly gave him a good opportunity to destroy all the evidence.
She also did not understand why s.h.i.+ Yuting, who had obviously known that the culprit was s.h.i.+ Tiannan, was not willing to expose his true colors in front of their grandfather. Was it not the right time? Or did he have other plans?
After some thought, Zuo Weiyi didn’t say anything else.
While she was deep in thought, s.h.i.+ Le had already chosen all four gifts.
Looking at the time, it was already noon.
The three of them came out of the shop. s.h.i.+ Le turned to Zuo Weiyi. “Let’s go back.”
As Zuo Weiyi raised her head, her phone buzzed.
She took it out and realized that it was a text message from s.h.i.+ Yuting. ‘Let’s have lunch together. I still have ten minutes before the meeting ends.’
When she saw the text message, Zuo Weiyi raised her head and saw Shen Lanzhi helping s.h.i.+ Le into a Bentley not far away.
“Grandfather, mother, I-”
s.h.i.+ Le and Shen Lanzhi had already reached the car. When they heard her voice, they turned their heads and looked at her in confusion.
“I’ll have lunch with s.h.i.+ Yuting at noon, so I won’t be going back with you two,” she smiled as she told them.
“Alright, be careful, ” Shen Lanzhi replied with a smile. Then, she helped s.h.i.+ Le into the back seat.
As the car started, Shen Lanzhi didn’t forget to roll down the window. She waved at Zuo Weiyi, who was standing by the side of the road.
Zuo Weiyi didn’t turn around until the car was far away and nowhere to be seen. Then, she walked towards the City Hall.
She had only taken a few steps when she seemed to have remembered something. She suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the gift shop.
Returning to where she was standing, she picked up the gray scarf again. After thinking for a while, she decided to buy it.
