Although Old Man Manoban's face did not look too good, and when his gaze landed on Jennie, it was very cold, but he was still the head of the Manoban Family. He did not want to cause any trouble at his birthday banquet, so he did not answer Nancy's question and only said coldly, "Now, the hearts of young people, I don't even know how many flowers they can bend, but since you are standing here, you should know how to restrain yourself! Do not play any tricks in front of us, seniors!"

"Grandpa's words must be referring to me, right?" Rosé caught up quickly and took a big step forward. She glanced at Nancy, who had an unrestrained expression, and suddenly sneered as she pushed her away from the Old Man, openly wrapping her arm around the Old Man's arm.

She said half mockingly and half coquettishly, "Grandfather, look at your 'supposed' granddaughter. Is she someone who likes to play tricks too?"

Nancy was forced to the side. Her face paled as she looked at Rosé in disbelief.

It was unknown whether Rosé was purposely helping Jennie, or if she took the initiative to act coquettishly because she saw Nancy's complacent look.

The Old Man looked at Rosé with a dazed expression. Although he had a cold expression on his face, he did not scold her in the end. He only said coldly, "Who knows, you've been in America for a long time, and you must have learned bad deeds from others."

"Bad deeds?" Rosé said with an exaggerated expression of surprise. "Grandpa, your General's blood is flowing in my body, I am a dignified admiral! How can I be bad when I have your honest and faithful blood? No one can be as innocent as I am, right? "

Old Man Manoban was suddenly amused by her words that implied she was trying to curry favor, but he just glared at her with a straight face. "You, just like your brother, flattered me on the surface, but behind my back, you were cursing me! Hmph, the most you can do right now is just put on an act!"

"How could that be? Grandpa, did you not realize that your granddaughter is much more sensible when she returns? If it wasn't for my brother and sister-in-law urging me to be filial to my grandfather, how could I have allowed my face to haunt you?" Rosé's beautiful eyes widened innocently as she blinked again and again. She leaned on the Old Man's shoulder and smiled sweetly.

Old Man Manoban seemed to be confused by Rosé's rambling. He looked at Rosé with some uncertainty in his eyes, then suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "That Jennie, did she really not say anything bad about me in front of you?"

The corner of Rosé's mouth twitched. She shouted loudly as though she had made a mistake, "How is that possible?! Sister-in-law is such an open-minded person! Grandfather, don't play dumb with me. You know what kind of person my sister-in-law is! You really know what happened at the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't you?"

When Jennie overheard their conversation, she suddenly realized that Old Man Manoban was an old man who loved to act arrogantly, show off his military strength, and show off his face, but inside, he was actually quite childish.

On one side, Lisa and Jennie were looking at each other and smiling. On the other side, Rosé was standing next to Old Man Manoban, acting coquettishly with him.

"Sister Rosé left home a few years ago and went to the United States. You did not return for many years and only returned once during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I heard that you almost made grandpa sick of being angry. Why did you suddenly come back and behave so intimately with him?" Nancy butted in the conversation. "Looks like someone was giving her the bewitching soup. For Sister Rosé to help you like this, do you plan to wash everyone's brains in the Manoban Family?"
