An old lady with glasses and grizzly hair appeared at the door.
"Mother!" Xu Qing shouted.
"Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing, you came!" The old lady's face became excited as she hurriedly opened the door.
Seeing the two people standing behind Xu Qing, the old lady hesitated. "Who are they?"
Xu Qing pulled Sheng Jiaoyang forward. "Mother, this is Jiaojiao!"
"Jiaojiao?" The old lady pushed her glasses up and inspected her seriously. The height was the same, the appearance... Her appearance had changed a lot. "Our Jiaojiao has really changed after becoming a celebrity! She's become much prettier."
She then looked at the other person. "Oh, is this Jiaojiao's boyfriend?"
Xu Qing awkwardly said, "Mother, he's my boyfriend."
"Ohohoho, I remember now! Qiqi told us earlier that you'd found a young man, is this him?" Grandmother Xu laughed.
Xu Qing was embarrassed as she hurried to change the topic. "Mother, are Brother and Sister-in-law home?"
"Come in, I almost forgot, let's not stand at the doorway and talk." Grandmother Xu stopped at the shoe rack to find slippers for them.
"Let me." Xu Qing stepped forward and picked up three pairs of slippers.
"Your brother and Qiqi are at work, while your sister-in-law and her daughter-in-law went to a beauty parlour," Grandmother Xu answered Xu Qing's earlier question.
"Daughter-in-law? Qiqi's married?" Xu Qing was very surprised.
Grandmother Xu responded as she led them to the living room, "Qiqi and Aiyan got engaged in August. Once they finish decorating their new place, they'll exchange wedding drinks. I haven't been able to contact you guys. As their Aunt, you have to participate in their wedding."
"I'm sorry, Mother, I changed my sim card and forgot to tell you guys my new phone number. It's also been pretty busy, so I haven't had time to see you guys," Xu Qing mumbled guiltily.
"It's alright, I didn't have any hopes for you anyways. It's fortunate you've borne a good daughter. With Jiaojiao here, there's no need to be worried about anyone bullying you or being alone at old age." Grandmother Xu shook her head.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of Qingqing so she'll always be happy," Li Weiqi said at once.
Grandmother Xu paused and examined Li Weiqi, asking, "Where'd you come from? Your accent is rather strange."
"I'm originally from Guangzhou, and then immigrated abroad where I grew up," Li Weiqi said.
"Oh, then what do your parents do? Do you have any other siblings at home?"
"Mother, your legs aren't good, so let's find somewhere to sit before talking." Xu Qing helped Grandmother Xu to the sofa.
Grandmother Xu took a seat and continued staring at Li Weiqi, waiting for his reply.
Li Weiqi took a seat by Xu Qing and started to narrate, "My parents did business, but now they just relax at home. I also have two brothers, both older than me."
"Then, what's your current job?"
"Qingqing and I are working on a charity fund right now," Li Weiqi said.
"What chartie fish? Can you eat it?"
"...It's not a fish, it's something that helps other people."
Now that he'd learnt how to cook, he naturally knew there was a type of fish called chartie fish.
Grandmother Xu nodded. Just when everybody thought that she'd understood, she said, "So, in other words, the two of you don't have a job?"
