Chapter 299 - Shui Shui Got Into An Accident
"I admit that you look very beautiful just like my daughter-in-law but the truth is you look so much like your biological mother. In fact, you are a carbon copy of her when she was at your age," Grandpa Li said. Talking about the past brought back memories he had buried deep in his heart.
The first time he had set eyes on the now grown-up Yang Zi at a party, he had seen her mother in her. In fact, their resemblance was why he had a background check done on her to know what was her relationship with his son deceased butler's wife. He had got to know her true identity as the missing daughter of Butler Jin after several months of private investigation. He had tried every way possible to get closer to her after he knew her true identity.
??With Yang Zi being a very knowledgeable person, they had got along well after several meetings. Knowing how her sister had tragically died and how she got shot, he had ceased the closeness to ask her to come work for his grandson with high hopes that she will be able to heal his long time wound.
"You knew my mother? We have known each other for so long but, you have never mentioned that," Yang Zi asked in surprise. Even Yifeng was surprised to hear that his Grandpa knew something about Yang Zi's birth mother.
"I did not know how to reveal it to you and I was scared that you will get furious with my entire family if you knew our relationship...,"
"Grandpa, what are you trying to say? I don't get you one bit," Yifeng spoke up.
"When Zi Er said that my mum looked familiar the first time she set eyes on her pictures, I thought she was being sensitive but seeing that you know her mum I guess she wasn't bluffing. She might have seen my mum so many times for her to have felt such a strong connection between her. What are you hiding from us, Grandpa?" Yifeng asked anxiously.
"Are Zi Er and I perhaps related by blood?" Yifeng asked nervously. His heart was throbbing erratically as he waited for his Grandpa's reply.
"Zi Er is nowhere related to you by blood. The reason she felt a strong connection between your mother and her was because....," before Grandpa could complete his sentence Yifeng's phone rang. Seeing who the caller was Yifeng stood up.
"Sorry Grandpa, but I have to answer this call. It's very important," Yifeng said as he hurried out of the room.
"Should I continue?" Grandpa Li asked after Yifeng exited the room.
"No, let's wait for Feng to come back but while waiting, let me continue to view the album," Yang Zi said as she resumed looking through the album.
She kept on giggling each time she came across any funny pictures of Yifeng. Five minutes later, Li Chen hiding in the room shouted in shock standing up from where he was hiding.
"What? Popular actress Qing Shui had an accident while shooting her current drama? How is that possible?" Li Chen said in a worried tone. Yang Zi threw the album on the table and rushed to his side when she heard him mention Shui Shui's name.
"Chen, what do you mean by Shui Shui had an accident while filming? Where did you get such news from?" Yang Zi now standing in front of him asked anxiously.
"Sister Zi Er, the accident is the hottest topic right now. You can have a look at this if you don't believe me," Chen said, as he handed his cell phone to Yang Zi.
Yang Zi scrolled through the page Chen was previously reading. She panicked after she finished reading the news.
"Goddamn it! I wonder how she is doing now," Yang Zi said anxiety written all over her beautiful face.
"Grandpa, my best friend just got into an accident so I really have to leave. I need to know the extent of her injuries. I promise to come to keep you company for an entire day soon," Yang Zi said, as she hurried over to his side and hugged him.
"What about Feng, won't you wait for him?" Grandpa said when she was almost at the door.
"He will catch up later. Bye Grandpa," Yang Zi said before she took off.
"I really wish that the accident wasn't serious. I don't want to see my favourite actress severely hurt," Chen mumbled as he walked over to where his Grandpa was sitting.
"Chen, stop getting worried, I am sure your best actress is going to be fine," Grandpa Li said as he signalled him to come to sit beside him. Grandpa Li hugged him tightly after he sat beside him.
"Grandpa, what is going on here? Where is Zi Er?" Yifeng asked as he scrutinised the entire room for any sign of his woman.
"She left," Grandpa Li said still hugging the sad Li Chen.
"She left suddenly. Why?" Yifeng asked, staring at his Grandpa. "And why is Chen hugging you so tightly? Did something happen while I was gone?" Yifeng asked as he walked closer to them.
"She left after learning that her actress best friend got into an accident while filming," Grandpa Li relayed exactly what he heard.
"She left at that state? She should have at least waited for me or come to look for me. I could have driven her there...,"
"Stop nagging my granddaughter-in-law and just hurry after her. I am sure you might catch up to her before she reaches her destination," Grandpa Li interrupted him sharply.
"Ok, I am going now. I better hurry up so I can meet up with that stubborn granddaughter-in-law of yours. She better not get hurt because of her hastiness because I am gonna get very furious with her if she does," Yifeng said before he hurried towards the exit.
Grandpa watched him as he left.
I can't believe that I wasn't able to reveal the truth to them once again. I wonder when I will have the opportunity to do so.
Grandpa Li thought as he continued petting his other Grandson.
