"I haven't been to Europe before, what activities do you recommend?"
"I also find this skincare brand wondrous."
"Your skin is so good! Let's meet up sometime and do facials together."
"I know that brand, it recently launched a..."
Li Jihua and his wife watched their daughter merrily chatting about this and that with Xu Jiaojiao, seemingly having forgotten the purpose of coming here. They looked at each other helplessly.
Li Jihua coughed twice. Receiving no response, he directly called out, "Lily."
"Yes? What's the matter?" Li Li turned to look at her father.
"Have you forgotten about the task that your grandparents entrusted to you?"
Li Li blinked and suddenly remembered the important task at hand. She hurriedly fixed her expression and stared at Li Weiqi with a heart-wrenching look as she grumbled, "Say, Uncle, do you have a screw loose or something? Jiaojiao is such a great girl, yet you don't like her and like her mother instead. There must be something wrong with your tastes, don't you agree?"
Li Weiqi was speechless.
Sheng Jiaoyang chuckled. "Lily, I'm not sure if your uncle has a screw loose or not, but if you're saying that there's something wrong with his tastes just because he likes my mother, then I have to say that I totally disagree. In my eyes, my mother deserves the best, and she isn't some commodity that should be judged by you all."
"I'm sorry, but my grandfather is still waiting in the hall, so my mother and I will leave first." Sheng Jiaoyang stood up.
Xu Qing had initially wanted to ask Jiaojiao where she'd found herself a grandfather because her grandfather had passed away a few years ago. However, she knew that her daughter must have her reasons, so she stood up obediently.
"Your grandfather is also here? Why didn't you ask him to join us?" Li Jihua also stood up. Even though the other party had no powerful influences, it was basic manners to respect the old and cherish the young. He couldn't possibly leave a pretext for gossip on this aspect.
"He's my foster grandfather. Since you haven't even met my closest relatives yet, he felt that it wasn't appropriate to meet you first," Sheng Jiaoyang explained on her way out.
Since an elder was waiting outside, everyone followed Sheng Jiaoyang out to say hello. In any case, this was the appropriate thing to do.
"Grandfather~" Sheng Jiaoyang called out to Grandfather Yang, who was in the middle of drinking tea.
"You're done already?" Grandfather Yang's eyes fell on Xu Qing, whose hand was held by Sheng Jiaoyang. At a glance, he could tell Jiaojiao's new mother was a guileless person whose thoughts were written all over her face.
Xu Qing also stole a glance at Grandfather Yang. She was very curious about Jiaojiao's so-called foster grandfather. The amiable look on the elder's face left her a favourable impression at first sight.
"Mr. Yang?" a cry of surprise sounded behind them.
Sheng Jiaoyang looked over and saw that it was Li Jihua.
Grandfather Yang looked at Li Jihua and smilingly said, "Xiao Li, it's you."
"Grandfather, do you know each other?"
"Old Li of Genesis Glory Corporation and I have been friends for more than 20 years, and now the corporation is managed by Xiao Li," Grandfather Yang explained before turning to Li Jihua. He asked, "How are your parents doing?"
