Zuo Weiyi finally remembered that Grandpa Zuo and Uncle Yu were also in the study room with them.
She quickly pushed Shi Yuting away and made a gesture, drawing a line between both of them. After that, she stood aside as she looked at Zuo Yi.
Zuo Yi glanced at her before turning to Shi Yuting angrily.
Shi Yuting also had a serious expression on his face when he saw Zuo Yi.
However, Shi Yuting did not say anything and simply pulled the person standing next to him along with him as he said, “Let’s go home.”
Before Zuo Weiyi had time to react, Shi Yuting had already dragged her toward the door.
“Stop!”
Zuo Yi’s voice sounded behind them.
Shi Yuting stopped in his tracks when he heard his voice. After that, he turned around as he stared at Zuo Yi.
“Let go of her.”
The expression on Zuo Yi’s face was very ugly as he looked at the both of them holding hands.
Shi Yuting frowned immediately.
Was he asking him to let go of Zuo Weiyi’s hand?
Zuo Weiyi was also shocked.
She could tell that Grandpa Zuo did not seem to like Shi Yuting at all.
No. Did they know each other?
“I do not understand what you mean,” Shi Yuting replied, calmly, as he looked at Zuo Yi.
“Will you be able to give her a future? If you can’t give her a future, then I want you to let go of her hand now,” Zuo Yi replied immediately. He had already heard about the arranged marriage between the Shi family and the Tengtang family a long time ago. However, he was really surprised when he heard that they had chosen to hold their engagement banquet at Country Z.
Zuo Yi glared at Shi Yuting very coldly.
Zuo Weiyi could not help but feel very surprised.
In her impression, Grandpa Zuo had always been a very nice person, regardless of whether it was toward her or even Gu Yansheng. However, when he was facing Shi Yuting right now, he was obviously very cold as though he really disliked Shi Yuting.
“Do you know each other?”
Zuo Weiyi asked suddenly when she witnessed their confrontation with one another.
Shi Yuting turned around to look at her and frowned when he heard her question.
“Don’t you know who he is?”
Zuo Weiyi had a blank expression on her face as she replied, “Know what?”
Seeing that Zuo Weiyi did not know anything at all, Shi Yuting turned around to look at Zuo Yi, only to notice the indifferent and straight expression on his face.
It seemed as though Zuo Yi had concealed his identity in front of Zuo Weiyi.
“Nothing.”
Since Zuo Yi did not tell her about his identity, Shi Yuting naturally did not expose it either.
Even though Zuo Yi had always been rivals with his grandfather, Shi Yuting had always been a bystander and had never once interfered in their affairs.
Shi Yuting simply looked at Zuo Yi before he said, “It seems as though you have no right to interfere in this matter since it is between the both of us.”
Zuo Yi could not help but tighten his grasp on his wooden cane when he heard Shi Yuting’s words.
She was his granddaughter! How could he possibly not have the right to interfere in her affair?
However, there was no way for him to reveal the truth now.
He was the president of Country C, and he had never been married. What would the citizens think of him if he revealed that he actually had a granddaughter?
His position would be relegated in half a year and by then, he should be able to make this matter known to the public even though it would inevitably cause an uproar.
After all, who would have imagined that the president of Country C would actually have an illegitimate daughter?
Zuo Yi could only stare silently at Zuo Weiyi as there was no way for him to reveal the truth now.
“Do you want to go back with him?”
If he could, he wanted to keep her by his side so that he could spend the rest of his life with her.
As she faced Zuo Yi’s sudden question, Zuo Weiyi was slightly startled. She quickly looked up at Shi Yuting’s face.
After all, this was not her home. Even though Grandpa Zuo was very kind toward her, she could not possibly live here as she did not belong here anyway.
