Kiss Me Goodnight, Mrs. CEO! Chapter 719 - Shi Yuting, Stuck on the Road

Chapter 719: s.h.i.+ Yuting, Stuck on the Road

But for Zuo Weiyi, s.h.i.+ Le’s proposal was more like a cover-up of his concern for her grandpa. After so many years of the Cold War between the two men, he definitely did not want to lower his head first, much less let her grandpa know that he was the one who suggested this birthday celebration.

Zuo Yi stared at his phone in a daze.

He hadn’t had a birthday in decades, and all of a sudden he’s having a birthday party?

—— * * * ——

The plans for the birthday banquet proceeded on schedule. Greeting cards were even sent to C Country and several others.

In order to celebrate the former president, the people who received the greeting cards traveled thousands of miles to Z Country to show their sincerity!

Knowing that Grandpa didn’t want to reveal his residence in Z Country, Weiyi chose the 7th floor of Joss Hotel to celebrate his 70th birthday!

The birthday banquet was exceptionally grand. The venue was luxurious, and the splendid banquet hall was adorned with lanterns and colorful decorations.

As s.h.i.+ Yuting had not arrived yet, and Zuo Weiyi was pregnant, Shen Lanzhi and Uncle Yu had to host the reception for the guests.

“Welcome. Thank you for coming.” Shen Lanzhi stood at the entrance of the venue. She thanked everyone who came, while Uncle Yu organized the logistics.

“Seriously, why hasn’t Big Brother come yet?” s.h.i.+ Nuannuan looked at the time on her wrist.w.a.tch as she sat in the lounge. It was already 6:50 P.M. There were only ten minutes left before the birthday banquet officially began. Was he going to be late to his grandfather-in-law’s birthday party?

“I’ve already said that there’s no need to go through so much trouble. It’s just a birthday. What’s there to celebrate?” Zuo Yi could not help but comment.

“Grandpa, don’t you like celebrating your birthday with me in this way?” Zuo Weiyi suddenly looked sad.

Seeing the expression on his granddaughter’s face, Zuo Yi immediately waved his hand. “No, no, Grandpa likes it very much! I may sound like this, but I’m actually very happy in my heart!”

He was indeed a little happy in his heart. This birthday banquet might prove that although Ruoxi was not around, she had left a very filial granddaughter for him.

It had been decades since then, so he should be able to let it go.

Ruoxi would never be able to come back from the dead and return to his side.

At sven o’clock sharp, the banquet officially began. But s.h.i.+ Yuting was still on the road.

If it were not for the traffic jam, he would have arrived long ago. However, a tragic car accident had happened on the road that he was driving through. He was in a dilemma but could only wait for the police to finish dealing with the traffic accident.

Another half an hour pa.s.sed.

He kept looking at the expensive watch on his wrist as time pa.s.sed by.

The phone in his pocket rang again.

“Brother, the birthday banquet has already started. Why aren’t you here yet?!”s.h.i.+ Nuannuan’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Ever since she got along with Zuo Yi, she realized that Grandfather Zuo was a really nice person. He treated her and her sister-in-law as equals. At least on the surface, he did. That was why she was especially friendly to Zuo Yi!

s.h.i.+ Yuting looked at the road ahead still clogged with traffic. He was sure that he would not be able to get out of it in a short while.

“I’ll be there soon.” As soon as he finished his sentence, he hung up the phone. Then, he opened the car door and got out. “You continue to wait here.”

After saying that to Xiangyi in the car, he started walking towards the Joss Hotel.

Xiangyi was stunned for a few seconds as he watched s.h.i.+ Yuting walk away. ‘Sir, are you planning to walk there?’

Wouldn’t it take 20 minutes to get to the hotel?
