Chapter 356 - The Long Awaited Address: Grandpa (1/2)
As soon as he heard Uncle Yu’s words, Zuo Yi turned to look sadly at Zuo Weiyi.
When he left the hospital last night, he really did not know whether Zuo Weiyi could accept or believe the truth about her past. Moreover, Zuo Yi did not know whether Zuo Weiyi intended to recognize or acknowledge him as her grandfather at all. As he thought about it, Zuo Yi could not help but feel a little nervous and flustered.
Zuo Yi raised his hand slightly as he looked at his granddaughter who was sitting up on the hospital bed. “Weiyi, is your wound still hurting?”
When Zuo Weiyi heard Zuo Yi’s words, she could not help but feel that his tone today was a little more cautious and imperceptible than before.
He was clearly the president of the country but to please and appease his own granddaughter, he was more than willing to speak to her in a humble manner. If she did not acknowledge him or accept his gesture, then wouldn’t she be pushing it?
Zuo Weiyi smiled slightly as she looked at Zuo Yi and said, “I am feeling much better today, Grandpa.”
Zuo Yi was stunned. He could not react at all when he heard the last word in her sentence. He was very excited and overjoyed. He had never felt this excited before in the past forty-one years, and he could not stop the tears from welling up in his eyes.
“Weiyi, what did you call me just now?” Ever since the first time he saw her, Zuo Yi had been hoping for the day she would finally be calling him her grandfather. He had been looking forward to this for several months, and his wish had finally come true.
Zuo Weiyi smiled slightly before she said, “Grandpa.”
“Oh! Okay, okay…” Zuo Yi could not stop the tears from rolling down his cheeks. He was overjoyed! He raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes and felt an unspeakable joy that he had never felt before.
Shi Yuting had just arrived at the door when he witnessed this scene for himself. He did not say or do anything but he simply stood there calmly as he watched this scene unfold before him.
Uncle Yu who was standing at the side could not help but burst into tears because he was so happy and excited that both of them had finally recognized and acknowledged each other after so many years apart. He quickly raised his hand to wipe the tears off his face.
“Weiyi, when you recover, Grandpa will announce your identity and status to everyone in this country!” Zuo Yi especially wanted that old and stubborn man to see how his granddaughter could possibly not be worthy of his grandson!
However, Zuo Weiyi was filled with concern and worries when she heard Zuo Yi’s words.
