Kiss Me Goodnight, Mrs. CEO! Chapter 242 - Depressed Old Man

Chapter 242: Depressed Old Man

Xiangyi was standing outside the bathroom. He could actually see Zuo Weiyi who was sitting outside through the shop window. Xiangyi could not help but frown as soon as he saw her standing up all of a sudden.
It seemed as though Miss Zuo had just received some news.
He turned around and it seemed as though Shi Nuannuan was not done in the washroom yet. Xiangyi continued staring out the window, and he did not even dare to blink out of fear that Miss Zuo would be gone in a blink of an eye.
If that ever happened, he was afraid that Mr. Shi would never forgive him.
“I will give you twenty minutes to come here. Otherwise, your best friend is dead!”
Zuo Weiyi’s cell phone buzzed again and this time, the text message that she received was a threat!
Zuo Weiyi could not think of anyone who would kidnap Bei Xingchen. What was their purpose?
Regardless of what Xiangyi had instructed her earlier, Zuo Weiyi stood up as she got ready to leave.
As soon as she got up and turned around, she suddenly bumped into someone who was walking in her direction.
“Sorry!”
Zuo Weiyi quickly lowered her head and apologized before she even looked at the other party.
“Young girl, we meet again!”
A familiar voice sounded at this time. Zuo Weiyi frowned but as soon as she looked up, she realized that she had bumped into an old man.
When she looked at his face, she was a little surprised.
She could not remember clearly but Zuo Weiyi found the old man to be very familiar.
Was this the old man that she had met on the bus not too long ago?
Why was he here?
“Old Uncle, why are you here?” Zuo Weiyi asked as she smiled.
The old man smiled as soon as he heard her words. After that, he replied, “Didn’t I tell you that we will definitely meet again?”
Zuo Weiyi could not help but look at the kind expression on the old man’s face.
“Why are you here? Are you here to eat too?”
The old man looked around them and it seemed as though Zuo Weiyi had come alone because he could not see anyone who looked like her friend.
At this moment, Zuo Weiyi’s cell phone started buzzing again and she received another text message from the unknown stranger.
“Don’t you dare to tell anyone about this. Otherwise, you can just get ready to collect your friend’s body.”
When Zuo Weiyi saw the text message, she did not dare to stay any longer, and she quickly raised her head and glanced at the old man before she said in an eager manner, “Old Uncle, I have something that I need to do now. If you don’t mind, I will take my leave first.”
Zuo Weiyi wanted to turn around and leave as soon as she was done speaking. However, at this time, the old man lifted the crutch that he was holding in his hand to block her from leaving.
“Wait! Wait!”
Zuo Weiyi raised her head as she looked at the old man with a puzzled expression on her face.
The old man took a deep look at her with complicated emotions in his eyes.
“Is your mother Zuo Qing?”
Zuo Weiyi was stunned, and she froze in place because she did not know how this old man would know her mother’s name.
“How did you… know that?”
“If your mother did not pass away, she would be about forty years old this year, right?”
Zuo Weiyi was stunned again.
“Who are you?”
The old man did not answer Zuo Weiyi’s question directly, but he continued asking her another question instead. “Was your grandmother Shen Luxi?”
At this time, Zuo Weiyi stared at the old man with her widened eyes.
He even knew her grandmother’s name?
“Who are you? How- How do you know my mother and grandmother’s names?”
Zuo Weiyi asked as she stared at the old man with a puzzled and confused expression on her face.
When the old man saw the puzzled expression on her face, the corners of his lips curved upwards slightly before his smile turned bitter.
“I… am an old friend of your grandmother.”
Zuo Weiyi frowned as soon as she heard his words.
Old friend? Her grandmother’s old friend?
“How did your grandmother pass away?” the old man asked again with pain in his eyes.
