Chapter 272 - The Woman in the Oil Painting (1/2)

He said casually as though it was completely normal for him to be alone.

However, Zuo Weiyi felt even more confused now.

Judging from the old man’s appearance, he should have been a very handsome man when he was younger. So, why was he all alone?

Since Zuo Weiyi could not guess the reason why, she did not want to think too much about it. After all, this had nothing to do with her anyway.

Zuo Weiyi walked around to look at the retro-styled study room. On a wall not too far away was a big oil painting of an extremely beautiful woman.

Zuo Weiyi was immediately attracted by the oil painting. What fascinated her was not how beautiful the woman in the painting was, but the fact that the woman somehow looked extremely familiar to her…

Zuo Weiyi frowned slightly before she slowly walked toward the painting.

The woman in the oil painting had an angel-like smile, and she looked very gentle and generous. The more she looked at the picture, the more she felt that this woman resembled someone she knew.

However, even when she tried to recall, she could not remember where she had seen this woman before.

Zuo Yi was a little stunned when he saw Zuo Weiyi staring at the oil painting.

The woman in the oil painting was none other than Shen Ruoxi. Did Zuo Weiyi recognize her?

“Do you like the oil painting?”

As soon as she heard his question, Zuo Weiyi turned around before she smiled and said, “No. I just think that the woman in the oil painting is really very beautiful. Is she your lover?”

Zuo Yi was silent for a few seconds before he finally replied, “Yes.”

She was indeed the love of his life!

“Where is she now?” Zuo Weiyi asked, naïvely.

Zuo Yi lowered his eyes and there was a sad expression on his face.

“She… she pa.s.sed away.”

As soon as she heard this, Zuo Weiyi was a little shocked, and she felt very apologetic. “Sorry, I…”

She was really very ignorant. Grandpa Zuo had already told her that he was all alone but she still did not understand the situation, and she had to dig into other people’s scars!
