Cheng Su left crying all the way. By the ti 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 hotel’s 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 Su’s eyes were red and swollen, paused for a mont, 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, "I’m going upstairs to put sothing on my eyes. You two go ahead and eat, don’t wait for . Bring back a portion. We’ll 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, there’s a Mr. Cheng here looking for you. He’s been waiting for quite so ti."
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.
Soone looking for her, but she didn’t know him!
"Hello, my surna 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 Departnt Store. Who is this!
Wait, Cheng Yaozong, didn’t the old man write down this na 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 sa na.
Could they be the sa 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 nas 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 na, seems kind of familiar!
"I’m Old Master Cheng’s son, second in the family. It’s like this, I heard from the old man that he t you once. He ntioned that if you have any needs, you should co to . I hadn’t seen you these past few days, so I thought you had left!" Cheng Yaozong explained.
Cheng Su listened and couldn’t imdiately understand his intention, so she smiled and said, "The old man is too kind. For the ti being, we don’t need any help. Thank you for coming all this way, it’s really too polite!"
Cheng Yaozong noticed Cheng Su’s polite deanor 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 didn’t 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 doesn’t visit a hall of treasure; there was no reason for them to seek help if they hadn’t been seen, right?
"It’s like this, our old man wanted to thank you for treating him to a al last ti. He wishes to host you this ti 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. We’re just passing acquaintances; there’s no need to be so courteous."
"Miss Cheng!" Cheng Yaozong’s 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, he’s been so overwheld with longing that he fell ill, so he’s inviting you over to see him."
Cheng Su was stunned, the old man fell ill?
