C174 (1/2)
The sun slowly rose from the horizon and a boundless layer of golden light enveloped the surface of the river. In the distance, the riverboat passed by the Ming City Bridge, one by one. The entire city seemed to have awoken from its slumber as its silhouette gradually revealed itself.
Zuo Zixian looked down from the window of the hotel on the 33rd floor, stretched lazily, looked at the time on his watch, and decided to go downstairs to eat breakfast first.
Tabolte sent her a message today saying that she could take care of the matter of the winery and let Zuo Zixian stay in Ming City for a few days to enjoy himself.
This made Zuo Zizhen feel relieved, but at the same time, he also decided to stay in Ming City for a few more days. He also decided to ask Rui Chen Yang out for a meal as a form of gratitude.
While eating breakfast, he heard someone say that there was a jewelry store nearby. Zuo Zixian just happened to be fine, so he decided to take a look after breakfast.
But who would have thought that not long after she left, she would come across a torrential downpour. Standing by the side of the road, she hastily ran towards the shop across the street.
When they arrived at the entrance of the shop, most of them were also wet.
She was preparing to find a supermarket nearby to buy an umbrella, but when she looked around, she found that she had taken the wrong road.
He was waiting for the rain when he suddenly felt something under his feet. He looked down and saw that it was an umbrella. It looked quite new.
She raised her hand to ask the people around her, but none of them looked as if they had lost their umbrellas.
Since this was the case, she just so happened to be lacking an umbrella. She could use it for now and then return it to the nearby lost property collection office.
Hiding in the corner, Zhou Heng watched as Zuo Zixian left. He shook his head helplessly and followed suit.
Since Tian Ling Yi Heng had an important meeting to attend, he asked Zhou Heng to come over and look at Zuo Ziqian. That umbrella was naturally something Ling Yi Heng had informed him to buy for Zuo Zixian.
However, he also didn't understand why Ling Yiheng would go to so much trouble to directly deliver the umbrella to her.
Zuo Zirong always felt that someone was following her, but every time she stopped and turned around, there was no one following her. In the end, she could only assume that she was overthinking it.
Zhou Heng received a call from Ling Yiheng, saying that the meeting was over. He asked for Zuo Zixian's location, and arrived not long after.
After he came over, he sent Zhou Heng back to the company to take care of things, while he followed Zuo Zixian.
Zhou Heng looked at Ling Yiheng, wanting to say something. However, he did not say anything and could only drive to the company.
After walking around for a while and feeling tired, Zuo Zixian sat down in a café with open air and ordered a cup of coffee, quietly watching the scenery of Ming City.
Ling Yiheng dodged and entered the room, sitting in the corner by the window. He saw every single movement of Zuo Ziqian's.
Zuo Zixian probably hadn't given himself a vacation like this for a long time. He stirred his coffee in silence, thinking about everything that had happened since the incident at Dix winery and his father.
It seemed like it was from another world, just like yesterday.
For no reason, the image of that grave yet flawless face appeared in his mind again. His eyes were always filled with hostility and alienation.
Ling Yi Heng, why is he always lingering in her mind? He was clearly going to forget!
Zuozi's heart tightened. He raised his head and took a big gulp of coffee, trying hard to temporarily expel the man from his mind so that he wouldn't be haunted by his shadow.
”Left Scholar …”
A woman's voice sounded from behind him, startling Zuo Zisheng, who hurriedly turned around.
A woman approached her and waved.
The woman wore a fiery red dress and a veil. Her curly, wine-colored hair was loose, and her smooth face was round. She carried a diamond the size of a pigeon's egg, and on her wrist was a conspicuous jade bracelet.
She carried a $100 thousand GIVENCHY bag, took off her sunglasses and sat directly across from Zuo Zixian.
”Sorry, you are …” Zuo Zixian looked suspiciously at the chubby woman in front of him, obviously not recognizing her.
However, the woman passionately grabbed her hand, ”Zixian, don't you remember me? I'm your classmate in university, Luo Yang! ”Me!”
”Luo Yang?! You are Luo Yang? ” Zuo Zi Wu was greatly surprised.
Luo Yang, who had been in the same class as her in university all those years ago, had obviously grown up to be jade-like. He had looked very young, but who would have thought that in just three years, she had already changed so much?
”Yes, it's me!” I didn't expect to see you in Ming City. Didn't you come from France? ” Luo Yang said, ordering a cup of coffee for himself.
”Oh, I'm here to discuss business.” Zuo Zi smiled, reuniting with her university classmates made her feel good.
Luo Yang was obviously very happy to be able to meet Zuo Zixian, the two of them started to chat.
”Right, Luo Yang, back then …” Why did you have to take a break from school? ” Zuo Zixian asked a question the whole class actually wanted to ask, but no one could find her at that time, so they didn't ask.
In the last year of their university, Luo Yang did not come to class. After that, there was no news of her. The class director only said that she had been suspended from school and that no one else knew anything about her.
Luo Yang sighed and told Zuo Zixian that her father had gone bankrupt that year, and he no longer had the money to keep her in France to study. He could only force her to suspend her studies.
”Oh, what a pity. You're only a year away from graduating with a diploma and degree.” Zuo Zixian could not help but feel regret for her.
However, Luo Yang seemed to not care at all as he waved his hand, ”It's all in the past, I'm living a good life now, my husband favors me a lot!”
