He's a sick Cinderella

Chapter 54 [053] Can't Remember the Title
City A commercial street.

Located at the most seaside location, it is the most prosperous place in City A.

A skyscraper stood abruptly there, it was the Yu family's group.

In the cafe opposite the building, an old man was sitting.

The old man has gray hair and not many wrinkles on his face. He wears a ring on the ring finger of his left hand and holds a cane in his hand. The index finger is lighting the handle of the cane one by one, as if he is waiting for something.

The old man's expression was not serious, but somewhat gentle.

He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he was leaning on the sofa with black shiny leather shoes on his feet. An assistant was holding coffee for him.

On the wooden bench opposite the sofa, sat another man in a suit. The man was a bit fat, with a bulging belly and a fleshy face. He was smiling flatteringly.

"I don't know if Mr. Chu is coming, I'm sorry to welcome you, but I..."

The old man raised a hand, and the man stopped talking immediately when he saw this.

The assistant brought the coffee to the old man's mouth. He took a sip and said slowly, "Mr. Yu, I heard that your family recently purchased a batch of new land on the outskirts of Kyoto?"

Mr. Yu's heart tightened. Although he was aware of it, he was still extremely nervous after the old man said this.

"Yes, yes, the land in city A is basically gone, so I thought, go to the capital to try my luck, and I just happened to meet it. Ha, ha ha."

The old man didn't seem to want to play haha ​​with him, he laughed softly, the sound was not loud, but it was like a hammer hitting Mr. Yu's heart heavily.

"Mr. Yu knows, that's what the Chu family fell in love with first?"

Mr. Yu paused, and forced a smile, "Of course I don't know about this, but... I bought everything, and the project is about to start, and the construction team has already arrived there. A piece of land, isn't it..."

The old man interrupted him: "Mr. Yu."

The man's words stopped suddenly, and the old man's eyes were not cloudy. He took another sip of coffee and said, "I'm not discussing with you."

A simple sentence made Mr. Yu's heart completely cold.

"I heard that you spent nearly [-] million to buy a painting some time ago, right?" the old man said.

Hearing this, Mr. Yu suddenly raised his head, his narrow eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

The old man stretched out his hand, and the assistant helped him up knowingly. The crutch struck the ground, making a crisp sound. The old man walked steadily, and the crutch seemed to be just a decoration.

He walked to Mr. Yu's side and said slowly, "How long ago was the money laundering method? Nothing new."

After leaving a word, he chuckled and left leisurely.

Mr. Yu sat on the wooden bench, sweating profusely, and the soles of his feet felt cold.

The old man got into a car, which was long and painted with translucent black paint.

He didn't let the driver drive away for the time being, but took out a pocket watch from his pocket.

The pocket watch has a golden casing, and there is a photo inside, showing the old man's youthful appearance, and a little girl.

The girl has a sweet smile and is wearing a long dress.

The assistant closed the door for him and sat up from the other side.

"Any news?" the old man asked.

The assistant shook his head, "No. But Miss's last message was in City A, but that was nine years ago."

"In the next nine years, we didn't have any news. She was too vigilant."

Speaking of this, the assistant noticed the old man's slightly disappointed expression, opened his mouth, but didn't dare to continue.

In fact, he already knew something, but he couldn't speak.

　This is the third update... There are two more! !
