He looked all over the country for her, and he even went to all of her previous places of employment and all the places that she frequented but could not find her at all. It seemed as though she had completely evaporated from this world and no matter how hard he looked, he could not find her at all.
About a year later, he found out that she was already married with a child.
After hearing the news, he felt that his heart was already broken into pieces.
Since then, he stopped looking for her and devoted his life to handle all the national affairs. He kept himself busy all the time so that he could stop himself from thinking about her.
“Why did she leave?” Zuo Weiyi asked as she raised her head. She was filled with curiosity about this matter.
She wanted to know why the person whom Grandpa Zuo loved so dearly chose to leave his side and whether he managed to find her again.
However, after thinking about what he just said, it was obvious that she never returned to him.
At this point, Zuo Yi turned around and faced her with a firm expression on his face.
“Because of my identity.”
Zuo Weiyi frowned immediately.
In fact, she still did not know who Grandpa Zuo was and what his identity was.
Even though she had some assumptions in her heart, she wanted him to tell her personally.
After listening to his answer, Zuo Weiyi felt that the reason why his lover left him was because of his identity and also the differences in their family background.
Was this not the same situation that she was experiencing with Shi Yuting?
No, it was different.
Because in her relationship with Shi Yuting, his grandfather was not the only obstruction.
Zuo Weiyi felt a sharp pain in her heart as she thought about the scene last night where Shi Yuting was standing next to Tengtang Xi as the both of them held onto the wedding rings that they were about to exchange with one another.
She lowered her eyes sadly as her heart was aching terribly.
Zuo Yi finally spoke up after looking at the sad expression on Zuo Weiyi’s face.
“Weiyi, in fact, the woman in the painting is…”
“Knock, knock, knock.”
As soon as Zuo Yi spoke, someone started knocking on the study room door.
Both of them turned around to look in the direction of the door, and they saw Uncle Yu standing in front of the door.
“Old Master, Mr. Shi is here…”
“Zuo Weiyi!”
Before Uncle Yu could even finish speaking, he was violently pushed aside. After that, Zuo Weiyi heard a very familiar and domineering voice. Shi Yuting was here!
Shi Yuting pushed Uncle Yu away from the entrance of the study room before he rushed in immediately. He felt that his heart was finally at peace when he saw the person that he had been desperately looking for.
He felt that he was about to go insane when he could not find her anywhere!
Zuo Weiyi felt her heart aching, even more, the moment she saw him. Her mind was filled with images of Shi Yuting and Tengtang Xi at their engagement banquet.
Uncle Yu quickly stepped forward and said, “Mr. Shi, you are being too unreasonable!”
Uncle Yu tried to pull Shi Yuting away but Zuo Yi raised his hand to stop him.
Shi Yuting turned a blind eye to Uncle Yu and Zuo Yi’s existence and was only staring at the person standing in front of him, as though he was afraid that she would disappear in a blink of an eye.
He continued staring at her for a few seconds and when he was finally certain that she was real, he finally calmed himself down.
Shi Yuting stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly so that he could be sure that she was real!
In the past, Zuo Weiyi would always feel warmth and sweetness when he held her like this but right now, all that she felt was a sharp pain in her heart.
Zuo Weiyi pushed him away in the next second as tears welled up in her eyes.
“Why did you lie to me?”
Even though Zuo Weiyi had a very cold expression on her face, she could not disguise the pain that she was feeling in her eyes.
