Chapter 139 - Conversation
Chapter 139: Conversation
After she closed the door and walked toward the sofa, Zuo Weiyi did not sit, only stood silently.
Shen Lanzhi lifted her gaze. Her face was calm and her tone was gentle. “Come and sit, I won’t eat you.”
Zuo Weiyi bit her lower lip and finally sat down.
“Do you like Yuting?”
Shen Lanzhi did not have much time, so her question was direct.
Zuo Weiyi did not expect her candidness, so she could not help but feel stunned.
“I…”
“What do your parents work as?”
She did not continue her words as Shen Lanzhi asked another question.
Zuo Weiyi was confused about her question.
After a few moments, she slowly opened her mouth again and answered, “My mother passed away a few months ago. My father died when I was born.”
Shen Lanzhi was shocked at her reply.
“I’m sorry.”
Zuo Weiyi lifted her eyes and forced a smile at her apology, “It’s fine.”
“So, you’re a child of a single parent?”
Zuo Weiyi nodded.
A child of a single-parent was much better than an illegitimate child.
“Yes.”
“Do you know Yuting’s identity?”
Zuo Weiyi was shocked again. She did not know the reason why Shi Yuting’s mother would ask her these questions or her purpose of doing so.
As for Shi Yuting’s identity, if she did not mishear it that day he was….
“He’s the president of Country C.”
“So you knew. Then, you should be clear that the First Lady will never be someone like you.”
Zuo Weiyi finally figured out her intention when she heard this.
The reason his mother wanted to talk to her was because she was trying to warn her.
Well, she was worrying too much in this case.
Zuo Weiyi looked up at her and forced a smile.
“Missus Shi, you’re overthinking this. He… doesn’t like me, and it’s impossible for me to become his wife.”
He told her at the start that he could give her anything other than the place of ‘Mrs. Shi’.
Plus, he said that he would never love any woman this morning.
“He doesn’t like you?” Shen Lanzhi smiled. “I know my son better than anyone else. If he doesn’t like you, why would he give up the chance to become a president for you?”
Zuo Weiyi was stunned.
“For me?”
“Yes. If it wasn’t for you, he would already become the president of Country C by now. But he has returned to Country Z in such a crucial time.”
Shen Lanzhi’s words baffled Zuo Weiyi.
Shi Yuting gave up such an important chance for her?
Impossible…
“I don’t know what you have done in the past few days to make him rush back in such a hurry, but I’m here to tell you that no matter how much he likes you, his wife will be Tangteng Xi.”
Upon hearing her saying this, Zuo Weiyi’s heart felt like it was painfully pierced.
She also finally understood the reason behind this conversation.
She smiled. “So what do you want me to do, Missus?”
Maybe she would threaten her to leave Shi Yuting like in those romance novels.
“If you can afford this relationship, then wait, but if you can’t, then the one who would be riddled with injuries will only be you.” Shen Lanzhi stood up. “I’ll stop here and let you decide, I won’t stop you and Yuting.”
With that, she turned and left.
Zuo Weiyi stood shocked in the room. Just that one sentence of hers had sent her heart into a spiral of chaos and disorder.
