Chapter 567: The Figure Outside the Coffee Shop
Just as she was looking out the window, lost in her thoughts, a seemingly familiar figure suddenly flashed past her.
She was slightly startled and her eyes involuntarily followed that figure.
Bei Xingchen noticed that Weiyi was staring blankly outside so she reached out and waved her hand in front of her eyes. “What are you looking at?”
Zuo Weiyi came back to her senses and turned to look at her best friend. “Wait here!”
As she spoke, she quickly stood up and ran towards the cafe’s entrance.
That figure just now seemed to be the woman who claimed that she had bymped into her daughter and prevented her from going to Shen Lanzhi that day.
Although she could not remember how she looked exactly, she knew that she was wearing the same pair of sungla.s.ses. She was certain that it was her.
Zuo Weiyi walked to the door and wanted to chase after that figure. But as soon as she reached the door, she saw s.h.i.+ Yuting who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She stopped in her tracks.
s.h.i.+ Yuting had just gotten out of the car. As soon as he turned around, he saw her standing at the entrance of the cafe. His face also froze.
At the sight of him, Zuo Weiyi suddenly turned around and returned to the cafe.
s.h.i.+ Yuting became expressionless again and followed her into the coffee shop.
However, his private room was booked on the second floor.
After entering the hall, he scanned the coffee shop once and finally saw her.
After staring at her for a long time, s.h.i.+ Yuting finally walked towards the private room area on the second floor.
“Darling, where did you go just now?”
Bei Xingchen thought it a little strange that Zuo Weiyi started drinking her lemonade with her face lowered the moment she came back.
“Nothing, I just saw a familiar figure.” As she said that, Zuo Weiyi turned her head but s.h.i.+ Yuting’s figure had already disappeared.
“Who was it?”
Zuo Weiyi turned back around with a thoughtful expression.
“It’s the mother of that little girl who held onto me that day.”
She did not understand why she had the urge to chase after the little girl’s mother when she saw her. Besides, Zuo Weiyi was the cause of the entire matter anyway. Even if she found the little girl’s mother, what then?
But what was this feeling of unease, then?
Was it because she had been suppressing herself too much recently that she had gone a little mentally deranged?
Zuo Weiyi looked down again, not able to understand what was wrong with her.
“The little girl’s mother? Where is she?” Bei Xingchen also stretched her head out, but the figure was gone.
Zuo Weiyi looked up and tried to distract her. “She’s gone now!”
Bei Xingchen sat down and did not press further. Instead, she changed the topic. “Oh right, I’m going back tomorrow.”
Zuo Weiyi asked in surprise, “Tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
“Is it that urgent?”
“Well…It’s not that urgent, it’s just…” she stammered, unable to speak for a long time.
Zuo Weiyi looked at her and could not help but frown. She looked at her. “What is it?”
“Nothing, it’s just…I came here with a friend and he has to go back tomorrow. So I can only go back tomorrow.”
“So you’re here for leisure?” She thought she was sent to C Country on a business trip.
“I guess you can say that…”
“Then, when are you leaving tomorrow?”
“The plane leaves at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”
Hearing her friend’s answer, Zuo Weiyi fell into deep thought.
“What’s wrong?” Bei Xingchen asked when she saw Zuo Weiyi deep in thought.
