At the back, Zhuang Zongren smiled and just watched the young ones fool around, but when he saw Jennie walk out of the changing room, his eyes welled up and he mumbled to himself, "Ci...Ci..."
Zhuang Liaoyuan glanced at his father when he noticed his odd behaviour.
Ci?
Was that not his mother's nickname?
"That child...that child...she looks just like Ci when she was young..." Zhuang Zongren said in a trembling voice, his eyes full of the memories and love towards his late wife.
When Zhuang Zongren first met Jennie, she had just finished attending a business matter, so she dressed smartly and formally. He had not noticed her as much the other time.
But today, Jennie wore a pink princessy dress, reminding Zhuang Zongren of the first time he saw his wife...
He did not expect his other granddaughter to look exactly like Ci because neither Chaerin and Keer did not.
Zhuang Liaoyuan looked at Jennie's direction and tried to remember his mother's face, but because she had died when he was really young,, he had almost no recollection of his mother.
He somewhat remembered a picture of his mother with his father in which she wore a pink dress as well. Most memorably, the aura of his mother from the picture was similar with Jennie's now.
...
At night, at the Zhuang family home, Zhuang Zongren had his servants prepare several delicious dishes.
Zhuang Zongren's attitude towards Jennie before was welcoming and grateful, but today, he was even warmer and passionate.
The elder kept on piling food on Jennie's plate."Jenjen, eat more! Eat more!"
"Thank you!" Jennie was a little surprised at his warm attitude.
Zhuang Rong felt that something was not right as he munched on a chicken drumstick. He then stared at Jennie and suddenly stood up. "Damn it! I remember! You're that woman who tripped me the other day!"
Zhuang Zongren sharply chastised him, "Stop being noisy and sit down! And what do you mean by 'that woman'? Jenjen's older than you, so call her 'sister'!"
Zhuang Rong glared furiously at his father. "I'll call her sister if I'm crazy. Girl, what did I ever do to trigger you? Why have you been in my way ever since I met you?"
Zhuang Liaoyuan glared at his son angrily and yelled at him, "Stop being rude!"
Zhuang Rong looked at his grandfather, then at his father. He was exhausted. "Why are all of you on her side!? Did you take the wrong child?! Maybe she's your real child!"
Zhuang Zongren's face went frigid at his grandson. "I really hope we mistook you as our real child! Sadly, no!"
Zhuang Rong was ignored mercilessly after that.
"Jennie, how's your work lately? Are you tired?" Zhuang Zongren did not bat an eyelid at his grandson and asked Jennie with concern.
Feeling the genuine concern from the elder, Jennie quickly replied, "Things are going well. I'm not really tired. I like what I'm doing now."
"Oh, alright then. I heard from Keer that you even have a fashion apparel company of your own. Don't exhaust yourself!"
"Mmm, I won't!" Jennie replied.
