Chapter 127: Missing The Sight Of Zuo Weiyi

It was four in the afternoon when Shi Yuting had finished his work in the office and returned to Shi Residence.

As he stepped into the living room and saw his mother, he was shocked.

“Mom?”

Shen Lanzhi turned around and stood up smiling upon seeing her son, “Yuting, welcome back. You’re early today.”

Aunty Yu was surprised too, she had never seen him returning home at this time.

“What may be the reason for your visit, Mom?” Shi Yuting asked with an indifferent expression, but deep down he was shocked to see her.

As Shen Lanzhi heard his question, her face darkened and her smile disappeared.

“How dare you ask me this?! What was so important that you had to rush back? Your grandfather was furious!”

Shi Yuting bit his bottom lip and sat down on the sofa.

Shen Lanzhi approached him again, “Tell me, what was more important than you being the president?”

“Nothing, just something unnecessary,” Shi Yuting answered softly.

Aunty Yu, on the other hand, was baffled.

As expected, the young master had given up on being the president because of Miss Zuo!

“Unnecessary? What kind of ‘unnecessary’ stuff was it that you had to return at midnight? Couldn’t it wait until the next morning?”

Shi Yuting turned his head away, his expression calm.

He did not need to explain his actions once they were done.

“Mom, I’m already back. Explaining any of this is useless.”

Shen Lanzhi paused and frowned. “I just want you to think thoroughly before you do something. If it’s not for your grandfather who was controlling the situation, you would have lost this chance.”

“But I haven’t, no?”

Because he knew that his grandfather would take control, that was why he had dared to left without any worries.

But he had no time to think about these for now.

His mother was here, but what about Zuo Weiyi?

He looked around but did not see Zuo Weiyi’s figure, so he stood up and decided to head upstairs.

“I’ll be taking my leave to get changed.”

Zuo Weiyi was still not there in the master bedroom.

Shi Yuting frowned. Did Aunty Yu hide her away?

He was clearer than anyone that at this crucial moment, Zuo Weiyi’s presence should not be known by his mother and grandfather.

He knew very well about his grandfather, Shi Yue’s personality. In order to get what he wanted, he would not hesitate to get rid of anything and anyone like a kid kicking away pebbles.

If his grandfather were to know that he had come back for her, her life would be in danger.

After he changed his clothes and was about to leave the room, he heard voices from his balcony.

He frowned again and headed to the balcony where he could see the swimming pool. Two maids were cleaning there.

When he saw a familiar figure, he frowned even harder.

She was wearing a maid outfit while cleaning? Who had allowed it?

Zuo Weiyi’s back was growing sore as she was kneeling in the dried-up swimming pool. She lifted her head up and stared into the sky. Even though it was four in the afternoon, the sun was still hanging high, she was feeling dizzy from the heat.

It was almost autumn, why was it still so hot?

Xiao Cui who was standing beside noticed her fatigue and asked quickly, “Miss Zuo, do you want to rest for a while? There is only a little left to clean, I’ll do it.”

Zuo Weiyi straightened her back and looked at the rest of the swimming pool that had not been cleaned. She was feeling really dizzy and wanted to stand up to take a rest before continuing.

“I’m fine, let’s finish this up quickly so we can head inside,” She smiled while standing up, wanting to rest.
