This was because Mo Ze was still asking her to accompany him to dinner yesterday without mentioning anything else. It seems that Jiang Yuqin and he aren’t close to each other yet.

But if it wasn’t Mo Ze, then who could it be?

Then, all of a sudden, Huo Wu thought about her grandpa Zhang Guo.

Zhang Guo mentioned before that he wanted to meet Jiang Yuqin. However, since it was Chinese New Year at the time, Huo Yusen suggested scheduling the meeting after the celebration, as actors had to spend time with their family as well.

Huo Wu thought Zhang Guo would meet with Jiang Yuqin after the first lunar month had passed.

But as of now, Jiang Yuqin had gotten the casting role earlier. Had Zhang Guo met with Jiang Yuqin already and helped her obtain that opportunity?

Thinking about it this way, Huo Wu was getting a bit anxious.

Why wasn’t she notified about any news of Zhang Guo meeting up with Jiang Yuqin?

Otherwise, she would have been able to observe how things were going live.

But now, she had no idea about the meeting between Zhang Guo and Jiang Yuqin.

But even if Jiang Yuqin looked like Grandma, Grandpa wouldn’t be able to link a connection between them that easily, right?

The country had a large population, so there were a lot of people who looked similar to each other anyways.

And most people who looked extremely similar to each other were actually not related to each other by blood at all. Those who had no blood connection tended to look more alike compared to those who were connected by blood.

Therefore, even though Jiang Yuqin looked like Grandma, Grandpa wouldn’t necessarily conclude that she was the one who had blood ties with him and not Huo Wu.

But although Huo Wu thought about it this way, she was actually still a bit nervous.

She stood up and made a decision: she will go to Huo Yusen’s company and ask him about what happened.

Huo Yusen should have been the person who arranged the meeting between Grandpa and Jiang Yuqin.

So if Grandpa really did meet Jiang Yuqin, then Huo Yusen must have been at the scene, which meant he would naturally know what had happened at the time.

Thinking about this, Huo Wu took the car keys from the coffee table without hesitation and directly drove to Huo Yusen’s company.

When Huo Wu got to the company, it was only 4:30 pm.

Generally, Huo Yusen gets off at 5:00 pm.

It was only around half an hour until Huo Yusen got off work, so Huo Wu decided to wait for him downstairs instead of bothering him.

Huo Wu was originally planning to wait for Huo Yusen at the nearby coffee shop. But when she got out of her car, she saw an old grandpa playing the erhu not far away from her.

The old man looked around the age of 80. His hair and beard had already turned gray and he was crouching, which made him look skinny and weak.

He looked as if he didn’t have enough strength, as he was playing the erhu choppily. There was a bowl in front of him, which was probably the container for donations from passersby.

But as of right then, there were only a few dollar bills inside the bowl. They probably wouldn’t even add up to more than ten dollars.

The weather was quite cold. The old man was wearing a ragged cotton jacket and trembling occasionally. However, he held on to the erhu tightly and played the piece The Moon Reflection of Erquan choppily after each recovery from the shiver.

In honesty, the music wasn’t too great, but Huo Wu still chose to walk towards him instead of the coffee shop anyways.

She walked in front of the old man, took out her wallet, and took out 500 dollar bills. She put the money inside the bowl and placed a small rock on top of them so they won’t get blown away by the wind.

She kneeled down slowly, looked at the unfocused eyes of the old man, and said smilingly, “Old grandpa, you play so well!”

Hearing this, the old man slowly smiled. His eyes were unclear and unfocused, but his smile was very kind. “Thank you, young lady.”

Huo Wu shook her head. “No problem.”

The wind was still blowing. Huo Wu tightened up the scarf around her neck, and suggested, “Old grandpa, why don’t you go home first? It’s too cold today.”

The old grandpa nodded and then shook his head. “Young lady, you are so kind. Let me play you a piece and then I’ll go home when I’m done.

Huo Wu rubbed her hands, and said ‘ok.’
