292 Things


    After saying that, Chen Xiang turned around and left.


    “Sir, hold on a minute.” the man stood up and said in his usual unhurried tone, “Did that child Zhao Zhan ask you toe? Does he know of my existence?”


    Chen Xiang did not say anything.


    “I understand. You can go back now.”


    He waved his hand, and Chen Xiang did not stay any longer.


    Zhao Zhan had already calmed down. The other party’s various reactions seemed to be saying that he was dispensable with his son.


    “Bring the manager, will you?”


    Manager Li happened to be bringing a waiter over to deliver some food to Zhao Zhan. When he heard his shout, he was just about to ask his waiter to go over and greet him when he saw Zhao Zhan giving him a look.


    “What can I do for you, sir?”


    Manager Li was surprised to see the other party’s appearance.


    “Your expression seems to be telling me that you’ve seen the person I’ve been talking about, yes?”


    Yue Jiaojiao praised this man. He had such keen observation skills.


    “I have, actually.” Zhao Zhan didn’t ask him to keep it a secret, Manager Li naturally continued, “He’s a very capable young man.”


    “He should be a young man now, right?” The other party picked up the wine ss on the table and drank it in one gulp. He bent down to open the book box and rummaged through it. “This is for you. If you meet that young man again, could you pass this to him?”


    “After all, we are fated to meet. Even if we end it, we can’t be too hard-hearted.”


    Manager Li held the scroll in his hand and didn’t react. “What are you doing?”


    “I’m saying goodbye to a friend I’m not too familiar with, but I know. We will meet one day.”


    He picked up the bookcase again, put a piece of silver on the corner of the table, and slowly walked out of the door.


    “Zhao Zhan, this...”


    Manager Li looked at the strange man and handed the scroll to Zhao Zhan. “I’ve seen so many strange people, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone with such a personality.”


    Zhao Zhan took the scroll and opened it.


    There was a picture drawn on it.


    “This... The person in the painting seems to be Zhao Zhan?”


    Manager Li cried out in surprise. He moved closer andpared the two, “It’s really Zhao Zhan. It’s exactly the same!”


    “Zhao Zhan, let’s catch up to him and find out what’s happening.”


    There were too many questions.


    The other party’s letter said that he had not sent a letter for many years, but the person in the painting seemed to be Zhao Zhan, who stood motionless in front of him.


    Zhao Zhan stood up, held Yue Jiaojiao’s hand, and ran out the door.


    People came and went on the street, but that person’s figure was nowhere to be seen.


    “I’ll go back to the shop and wait for you,” Yue Jiaojiao made a prompt decision. “I won’t be able to catch up. Zhao Zhan, you can run out and look for him yourself. Go to the city gate and take a look. Maybe you’ll meet him there.”


    Manager Li spoke at the right time, “I’ll have the inn’s staff escort Jiaojaio over. You can rest assured and go ahead with your work.”


    “Zhao Zhan, hurry up and go. If you don’t go now, you might never see him again.”


    “You should go back and wait for me there. I’ll be back soon.”


    Zhao Zhan hugged Yue Jiaojiao and ran after the man.


    Yue Jiaojiao wasn’t in the mood to stroll around the streets at the moment. She followed the inn’s staff back to the shop and happened to bump into Chen Xiang, who had juste out from inside.


    “Oh?” Chen Xiang sounded anxious. “I was just about to go look for you and Zhao Zhan. The person I met at the inn just now somehow found his way to the shop.” Chen Xiang spread out her hands. “That person left this for me to give to you.”


    “That’s for me?” Yue Jiaojiao reached out and took the item. “Are you sure it’s for me and not Zhao Zhan?”


    Chen Xiang nodded heavily. “I’m sure. He mentioned your name to me.”
