Kiss Me Goodnight, Mrs. CEO! Chapter 269 - Are You Afraid that I Will Poison Your Tea?

Chapter 269: Are You Afraid that I Will Poison Your Tea?

Zuo Weiyi turned around before she asked, “Do you live here?”

“Yes.”

“Why did you bring me to your house?” After all, if he only wanted to find out more about her grandmother, they could have headed to a restaurant instead.

As soon as he heard her question, the old man smiled before he replied, “I do not like places that are too crowded with people.”

Zuo Weiyi seemed to understand his feelings as soon as she heard his reply.

Some elderly people preferred a more serene and quieter place.

After entering the gate, Zuo Weiyi was shocked at the magnificence of the villa.

As soon as she walked into the yard, Zuo Weiyi could see a lot of men dressed in black standing inside the villa. Were they his bodyguards?

It seemed as though this old man had more bodyguards than s.h.i.+ Yuting did.

Zuo Weiyi frowned slightly after observing everything in the courtyard. After a short while, they arrived at the living room.

“Please have a seat,” the old man said as he gestured at the sofa. After that, the old man beckoned for Zuo Weiyi to come over to her in a gentle voice, without any malicious intent at all.

Zuo Weiyi smiled before she nodded and sat down on the sofa next to the old man as she looked around the magnificent living room.

Perhaps, this old man was also a businessman like s.h.i.+ Yuting?

“What would you like to drink?” the old man asked suddenly.

Even though Zuo Weiyi felt that the old man did not have any malicious intent, she felt that she should be a little more careful.

Therefore, she smiled as she glanced at the old man. “No need.”

The old man seemed to see right through her. “Are you afraid that I will poison your tea?”

Zuo Weiyi felt a little embarra.s.sed because it seemed as though the old man could read her mind.

Before she could even reply, the old man laughed before he said, “You are right to be so careful. After all, you are in a completely unfamiliar environment and as a girl, it is only right for you to be protective and looking out for yourself.”

Zuo Weiyi smiled as she looked at the old man.

“Yu, please get me my tea leaves,” the old man suddenly said as he looked at the middle-aged man standing beside him.

The man quickly turned around and headed straight to the kitchen as soon as he heard the old man’s words. After a short while, he brought out a tea set before he placed it on the coffee table.

The old man picked up the teapot and two cups before he set it in front of them. Then, he turned around and smiled at Zuo Weiyi before he said, “Will you feel more relieved like this?”

After that, the old man picked up one of the cups before he started sipping on the tea.

Zuo Weiyi could smell the fragrance scent of the tea leaves as soon as the old man poured the tea into the cups. This was good tea!

After taking a sip of tea, the old man put down his cup before he spoke to Zuo Weiyi.

“You told me that your grandmother died of an illness? How did she fall sick?”

As soon as the old man started speaking, Zuo Weiyi suddenly felt a little less defensive.

She picked up the cup of tea and smelled the fragrant scent of the tea before she took a sip of tea as the old man did. After that, she put the cup down before she looked at the old man.

“I heard my mother say that my grandmother had always been in poor health ever since she experienced heavy bleeding when she gave birth to my mother. After that…” Zuo Weiyi suddenly paused.

Her grandmother had always been in poor health but after learning that her mother had been raped, the news had taken a toll on her. She was greatly affected by the news and her health deteriorated quickly after that. Not long afterward, her mother became pregnant with her. That was when her grandmother’s condition started to worsen.

Despite all of this, her mother gave birth to her and her grandmother loved and doted on her very much. However, the good times did not last long, and her grandmother pa.s.sed away when she was only three years old.

“You said your grandmother bled a lot when she was giving birth to your mother?”

The expression on the old man’s face changed as soon as he heard her words. His hands tightened as he clenched his fists tightly together, as though he had just heard something that was absolutely unpleasant and cruel.
