Chapter 205 - Sick (2/2)
Li Shuang hesitated in answering, rendering her speechless.
”Alright, let's go inside first.”
As they stepped inside, her gaze landed on the various proses and poetries hanging on the wall in a beautiful manner. She followed them towards the end. It was her first time seeing something so traditional and she could not help but be amazed by the wonderful calligraphies too.
”You understanding their meaning?” A deep gruff voice asked.
She shook her head without turning around, her gaze still stuck to poetry which was written on peach blossoms painting in the background, ”They are pretty but out of my comprehension,” Passing in the Chinese exam was already difficult for her, let alone understanding these complicated poetries and all.
”Grandpa, she is my friend...”
Hearing Li Shuang's voice, Yu Mei snapped out of her daze and turned around only to find an old man standing near the fireplace holding a cane in his hand. His long beard gave him a domineering appearance and his eyes narrowed the moment their gaze locked.
”I am Yu Mei Zhen,” She bowed at the old man respectfully.
A frown tugged at his face, wrinkling the space between his brows.
The old man opened his mouth, ”You are-?”
His words were interrupted when her phone started ringing. She glanced at the caller ID and rejected the call.
'Ring Ring.'
Her phone started ringing again. Yu Mei wondered what was so important that Shi Luo was calling her like this.
”Excuse me,” She looked at Li Shuang and her Grandpa as both of them nodded at her, indicating her to take the call.
”Luoluo?” She answered the call and her expressions shifted in the next moment.
She hung up the call before looking at them, ”I apologize but I have to leave now.”
”Is everything alright?” Li Shuang was concerned looking at her expressions.
”Ah Jin is sick...”
Li Shuang frowned, ”What happened?”
”I don't know. I'll have to go now,” Yu Mei turned to look at the old man before bowing slightly, ”It was nice to meet you. Hope we will meet again.''
The old man nodded and she walked out of the place without looking back.
Looking at her Grandpa's meaningful gaze settled on Yu Mei's back, Li Shuang spoke up, ”Grandpa, let's talk.”
”About..?”
”It's time for you to let go of all that. She is no more,” As straightforward as she was, Li Shuang did not beat around the bush.
”What?” The old man's cane dropped as his expressions changed, ”This is not possible.”
