287: How Did She Pass Away?

How Did She Pass Away?

Zuo Weiyi was stunned for a moment when she saw the set of neat clothes on the sofa. After that, she went to the bathroom to wash up before she put on the set of new autumn clothes.0

After that, she headed downstairs, and Uncle Yu led into the dining room.

"Weiyi, come. Come and sit here."

Zuo Yi stretched out his hand and gestured for her to sit at the closest seat next to him after he saw Zuo Weiyi walking into the dining room.

Zuo Weiyi glanced at the seat next to Zuo Yi and hurried over.

That seat was directly opposite Gu Yansheng.

Zuo Weiyi sat down and glanced at the rich and hearty breakfast laid before her but she did not have any appetite at all.

When Zuo Yi saw her holding the bowl with no intention of eating, he felt a little distressed. "Why? Is the food very unappetizing to you?"

As she was faced with his concern, Zuo Weiyi felt a sense of warmth in her heart even though she was still a little lost.

She was not related to Grandpa Zuo, and she was not a part of his family. Was he really being kind to her just because he felt that both of them were fated to meet? Was that the reason why he was treating her as though she was a part of his family?

Zuo Weiyi raised her head as she looked at Zuo Yi before she replied, "No, Grandpa Zuo. I have no appetite lately."

It was not only today but Zuo Weiyi had already lost all her appetite lately.

Zuo Yi and Gu Yansheng have never encountered a woman who was going through a pregnancy in their lives. Therefore, they did not know that it was only natural for a pregnant woman to lose her appetite. They simply assumed that Zuo Weiyi had no appetite because of Shi Yuting.

When he thought about this, Gu Yansheng could not help but say,, "Weiyi, when the doctor examined you last night, he said that the fetus in your stomach is in poor health and you need some good conditioning to ensure that your pregnancy is stable. So, even if you have no appetite… you should still eat a little."

As soon as she heard Gu Yansheng's words, Zuo Weiyi was immediately startled.

The child in her belly was unstable and in poor health?

Gu Yansheng knew that she was worried when he saw the sudden change in her expression, and he quickly explained, "You don't have to worry too much. As long as you take good care of your own body, your baby will grow up healthily."

Zuo Weiyi was relieved when she heard his explanation.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the bowl of white porridge in front of her as she thought about the baby in her belly. In the end, even though she did not have any appetite and did not feel like eating at all, she picked up the spoon and started eating her porridge slowly.

Zuo Yi's heart was also at ease when he saw Zuo Weiyi eating her porridge obediently. This was the first time in decades since he felt that breakfast was so appetizing!

***

After having breakfast, Zuo Weiyi was already planning to leave Grandpa Zuo's villa.

However, Zuo Yi suddenly called her into his study room.

As soon as she walked into his study room, she saw that Zuo Yi was standing in front of the oil painting as he stared at the woman in the oil painting lovingly.

When he heard her footsteps, Zuo Yi turned around and looked at Zuo Weiyi with a smile on his face.

"The woman in the painting was once my favorite and most important woman in my life."

Zuo Weiyi was startled when she heard his words.

She did not know why Grandpa Zuo was suddenly telling her this.

Did he want to talk about his past?

As she thought about it, Zuo Weiyi followed up with a question.

"How did she pass away?"

"I heard that she died of an illness."

Heard that?

Zuo Weiyi frowned immediately.

How could he hear about how his lover had died? Was he not clear about it?

"Don't you know how she passed away?"

Zuo Yi shook his head slightly when he heard her question but he continued staring at the oil painting without taking his eyes off it.

"She left at the peak of my life, silently, without informing me at all."

Zuo Yi thought about forty years ago when he returned to his residence, and all that was left to greet him was just a note left behind by Shen Ruoxi.
