Cheng Su left crying all the way. By the time she got out of the car and back to the hotel, her eyes were swollen and red like two peaches.
"President Cheng."
Cheng Su turned around to see Wang Bo and Zhao Da sitting on the hotelās redwood sofa, their faces filled with joy upon seeing her.
"What are you two doing here?" Cheng Su asked with a hoarse voice.
"President Cheng, where have you been? You took so long to return, we were worried sick!" Wang Bo noticed Cheng Suās eyes were red and swollen, paused for a moment, and asked, "What happened? Your eyes are so swollen, have you been crying?"
"I went to the orphanage to visit a child." Cheng Su pressed the corner of her eyes and said, "Iām going upstairs to put something on my eyes. You two go ahead and eat, donāt wait for me. Bring me back a portion. Weāll be heading back to Qing City in a couple of days!"
"Oh."
Just as Cheng Su was about to leave, she suddenly heard a cough. Wang Bo quickly stopped her and said, "By the way, thereās a Mr. Cheng here looking for you. Heās been waiting for quite some time."
Cheng Su was taken aback and looked up, finally noticing a middle-aged man with a dignified presence behind them. She thought he was just another hotel guest.
Someone looking for her, but she didnāt know him!
"Hello, my surname is Cheng." The man took out a business card from his suit pocket and handed it over.
Cheng Su took a look at it, Cheng Yaozong, general manager of Lailai Department Store. Who is this!
Wait, Cheng Yaozong, didnāt the old man write down this name and address for her earlier?
Cheng Su glanced at him, then rummaged through her bag and took out the note the old man had given her. Sure enough, it was the same name.
Could they be the same person?
Cheng Su also took out a business card from her bag and handed it over, saying, "Hello, I am Cheng Su, and you are?"
Cheng Yaozong looked at the business card, which had two company names on it. One was Joy Soon Loy Jam Food Company, and the other was Joy Soon Loy Restaurant, both with the title of General Manager.
Joy Soon Loy, this company name, seems kind of familiar!
"Iām Old Master Chengās son, second in the family. Itās like this, I heard from the old man that he met you once. He mentioned that if you have any needs, you should come to me. I hadnāt seen you these past few days, so I thought you had left!" Cheng Yaozong explained.
Cheng Su listened and couldnāt immediately understand his intention, so she smiled and said, "The old man is too kind. For the time being, we donāt need any help. Thank you for coming all this way, itās really too polite!"
Cheng Yaozong noticed Cheng Suās polite demeanor and inadvertently frowned; she was a cautious lady.
The old man said she resembled their aunt quite a bit; in what way though? She looked completely different from the photos; was it in character?
Their aunt had been gone for many years, and they didnāt know what her character was like. But since the old man said she resembled her, then she probably did, as he was the only one who really knew their aunt.
Cheng Su was indeed quite vigilant. Without any reason, one doesnāt visit a hall of treasure; there was no reason for them to seek help if they hadnāt been seen, right?
"Itās like this, our old man wanted to thank you for treating him to a meal last time. He wishes to host you this time in return. Would Miss Cheng do us the honor?" Cheng Yaozong expressed his intentions.
Cheng Su was stunned and declined, saying, "The old man is really too kind. Weāre just passing acquaintances; thereās no need to be so courteous."
"Miss Cheng!" Cheng Yaozongās voice was slightly louder, seeing Cheng Su startled, he softened his tone and said, "In fact, our old man said you resemble an old acquaintance of our family. These past couple of days, heās been so overwhelmed with longing that he fell ill, so heās inviting you over to see him."
Cheng Su was stunned, the old man fell ill?
