Chapter 307: I Hope that You Will Not Hurt Her
Shen Lanzhi could not help but sink deep into her thoughts as she looked at her son who was leaving.
All that he could think about before he left for Country C was to ask Shi Nuannuan to take care of Zuo Weiyi. It seemed as though she was all that he could think about.
Shen Lanzhi turned around as she stared at Zuo Weiyi who was standing at the bottom of the staircase.
What kind of position did this girl occupy in her son’s heart?
“Is it really so urgent?”
Zuo Weiyi could not help but ask as she watched him coming down the stairs with the luggage in his hand.
Shi Yuting felt a little worried as he stared at Zuo Weiyi who was standing in front of him.
After that, he raised his head and placed it at the back of her head before he hugged her and kissed her gently on the forehead. “You can rest assured. I will be back soon, okay?”
Shi Yuting slowly released her after he was done speaking.
“Okay.”
Zuo Weiyi nodded slightly as she was showered with love.
After that, Shi Yuting turned around before he walked toward the door. Then, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked back at his mother.
Shen Lanzhi was startled when she met her son’s gaze and could not help but lower her eyes.
After that, Shi Yuting turned around before he walked out of the door.
After Shi Yuting disappeared out the doors, Shen Lanzhi’s cell phone suddenly rang.
She took out her cell phone and looked at it. It was a text message from her son.
She opened the text message and there was only one sentence in it: I hope that you will not hurt her.
Shen Lanzhi felt a huge blow to her heart when she saw her son’s text message to her.
If she could, she, too, hoped that their family could live happily and harmoniously.
However, Zuo Weiyi’s status was a problem, and it had always been Shi Yuting’s grandfather’s taboo. Shen Lanzhi had already experienced a similar situation decades ago.
Back then, she was also the daughter of a reputable family. However, compared to Shi Tiannan’s mother, she was still more humble and lower in status. Therefore, Shi Le had also refused to accept her as his daughter-in-law in the past.
Moreover, Zuo Weiyi was an illegitimate child. So, how would she possibly be able to marry into the Shi family?
No, that was not right. Even if she was not an illegitimate child, Zuo Weiyi would never be able to compare or match up to Tengtang Xi’s identity and status.
Shi Yuting’s grandfather had already recognized Tengtang Xi as his granddaughter-in-law, and no one would ever be able to replace her spot in his heart.
Unless…
Shen Lanzhi lowered her head and she could not help but laugh to herself.
Well, how many people could possibly not be inferior to Tengtang Xi? She had a distinguished status as she was the granddaughter of the Minister of Defense.
Aside from Tengtang Xi, there was no second person who was as noble as her own son.
Both of them were under one person and above the rest of the country. Everyone in the country knew that the most honorable Mr. President had always been all alone. He had never been married, and he did not have any family members at all.
Of course, even if he had any family, it was impossible for the president’s family to marry into the Shi family. This was because President Zuo Yi and Shi Yuting’s grandfather, Shi Le, were rivals.
In fact, they had been very close brothers who had always defended one another to life or death. However, at the end of the day, they fell in love with the same woman and that caused them to turn against one another.
“Shi Yuting!”
Shi Yuting had just walked out of the gate and was about to get into the car. But, he heard Zuo Weiyi’s voice behind him.
He paused when he heard her gentle voice and quickly turned around, only to see her standing in the doorway, dressed in her casual home clothing.
He walked over to her and stood in front of her before he asked in an extremely soft and gentle tone, “What is wrong?”
Zuo Weiyi suddenly felt very nervous and could feel her heart beating frantically as she looked into his eyes.
She wanted to say something but she did not know how to explain the anxiety that she was feeling in her heart.
In the end, she simply smiled slightly before she said, “Nothing. Be careful on the way there.”
Shi Yuting could see the anxiety that she was feeling and raised his hand before he rubbed her cheek gently with his thumb. It was clear to anyone, the love and affection that he felt for Zuo Weiyi were deep.
