Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1174: Chapter 1175: True Feelings or False Pretenses

Because the old man had something on his mind, this meal wasn’t particularly pleasant. Even with Cheng Yaozu trying to lighten the mood, it ended quickly.

The next day, Cheng Su received news that the old man had been admitted to the hospital.

Cheng Su’s heart tightened. She hurried to the hospital but didn’t dare to go in. After all, it was seeing her last night that triggered the old man’s thoughts.

Would going in now...

Cheng Su hesitated, her eyes nervously staring at the door of the ward.

”Susu, let’s go!” Ying Xiaoya was a bit anxious; she really liked the old man’s personality.

Cheng Su said, ”You go in first!”

Ying Xiaoya had no choice but to enter the ward, and shortly after, Cheng Yaozong came out, seeing Cheng Su standing there dumbly.

”You’re all here? Why don’t you go in?” Cheng Yaozong asked.

Cheng Su’s eyes were slightly red. She shook her head and said, ”I’m afraid. He saw me yesterday, and then fell ill again. I’m scared that if he sees me now, he might get upset again. I...”

Cheng Yaozong felt warmth in his heart. It’s not in vain that the old man treated her with his heart and allowed everyone to support her. She was someone who understood gratitude.

”For most of his life, the old man has been hoping to find his sister. Sadly, in this vast world, finding one person is too difficult. We don’t even know if she is still alive, or if she has children. We published it in the newspapers before, but never found her. After all these years, we don’t really have much hope anymore!” Cheng Yaozong sighed. ”But the old man keeps it in his heart, so we have to continue searching. This November, he’ll celebrate his seventy years. Seventy is rare in life, it’s not easy. I sincerely wish that in the old man’s lifetime, he can fulfill his wish to find his sister. Even if she’s no longer here, at least her descendants.”

Cheng Su felt a bit emotional, unable to describe the feeling. It was a mix of sourness and swelling, a desire to cry.

”Even though we haven’t found her yet, you came, maybe it’s destiny. The old man thinks you resemble her, so naturally, there is a reason. After all, she was his younger sister, and he alone interacted with her and knew her personality!” Cheng Yaozong said. ”The few of us brothers have successful careers, nothing else to hope for, just wishing the old man a long life so he can leave without regrets. Even if we can’t find the sister, it’s okay, at least he has a hope in mind.”

He looked at Cheng Su and said, ”You’re great, and the old man approves of you, Su, I know this is a big ask, but I hope you can treat him like a family member and spend more time talking with him!”

”I consider him a dear elder. I...” Cheng Su, overcome with emotion, started to cry.

”Alright, don’t cry, go inside. The old man must be thinking about you. It’s okay, he’s just too emotional, causing the symptoms to flare.” Cheng Yaozong patted her shoulder.

He noticed someone carrying a basket of fruits and flowers walking down the corridor and frowned slightly, hurriedly urging Cheng Su to go inside.

People nowadays are too quick to get information. It hasn’t even been that long, and they’re here to visit.

”President Cheng...” The one carrying the basket saw him, eyes shining with a sycophantic smile.

Cheng Yaozong sighed inwardly. Whether someone is sincere or not, you can tell by looking into their eyes. This ’sincerity’ mixed with interests always feels calculative.

No wonder the old man likes Cheng Su. At least she doesn’t calculate, we’re all not fools; can one really not distinguish between sincerity and insincerity?

Thinking this, Cheng Yaozong still put on a smile to welcome them. In the jianghu, everyone must know how to act.
