They brought gifts, all of which were supplements for Granny Lin and Grandpa Dong.

Wu Zhigang's appearance caused everyone to look at him in surprise.

Xu Xinning introduced him to everyone: "Grandma, Grandpa, Cousin, and Sister, let me introduce you to my new boyfriend, Wu Zhigang, a pediatrician at our hospital. We just started dating, and I brought him here to meet you."

Wu Zhigang quickly greeted everyone present, "Grandma, Grandpa, Cousin." He smiled at Li Qingyan and said, "Dr. Lin, we've known each other for a long time, but you are Xinning's older sister, which means you are my older sister. We can't mess up the generational order."

So he called Lin Qingyan "sister".

Lin Qingyan knew her age; she was already twenty-five this year. They often interacted at work, and now that he was calling her "sister," she felt goosebumps all over her body.

Xu Xinning didn't know if Lin Zhiheng would become a member of the Dong family along with Lin Qingyan. If so, she would feel very uncomfortable.

Grandma Lin didn't have much of an impression of Xu Xinning to begin with, nor did she feel any closeness to her. She asked, as a formality, "When did you two start dating?"

"Actually, it hasn't been long, just these last few days."

“However, I’ve long had the intention to pursue Dr. Xu,” Wu Zhigang said.

Grandpa Dong was a little unhappy and gave Xu Xinning a slightly cold look. "Xiao Ning, dating is not a small matter. Before you two are officially dating, you should bring him to meet his grandparents."

Xu Xinning hadn't thought of this at all. He assumed that Grandpa Dong and Granny Lin only liked Lin Qingyan and didn't like her anymore, so he didn't think of bringing Wu Zhigang over for them to see first.

"Grandpa, this is my first time dating, and I didn't think about these things. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to not introduce him to you beforehand. I just think Zhigang is a very good person, and he's very good to me, so I agreed to date him. Are you not satisfied with Zhigang?"

Wu Zhigang felt a sudden chill; what if he couldn't get past the old man's hurdle?

Grandpa Dong glanced at Wu Zhigang. The young man was good-looking. In fact, as long as Xu Xinning liked him and the man's character was acceptable, he wouldn't interfere.

What angered him was that he had doted on Xu Xinning for so long, and she hadn't even told him beforehand that she was dating someone.

“Xiao Ning, it’s your freedom to date, and Grandpa just wants to give you some feedback. However, since you’ve already decided to date, you’ll gradually get to know him. I hope that Comrade Xiao Wu will treat my Xiao Ning with all his heart and not let us down.”

Wu Zhigang breathed a sigh of relief: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely treat Xinning with all my heart and put her first in everything. Whether now or in the future, I will never let her suffer any grievances."

"Anyway, dating isn't marriage. Whether you can marry Xiaoning depends on your performance."

"I know I will definitely make you satisfied."

Seeing that Grandpa Dong still cared about her, Xu Xinning quickly stood behind him and tried to please him.

"Grandpa, are you tired? Let me massage your back and shoulders."

"Good, good, you used to massage Grandpa's back and shoulders when you were little, and Grandpa felt so comfortable."

"Grandpa, I'm a doctor now. Before, I just randomly pinched and kneaded, but now I have professional techniques. My pinching not only feels comfortable, but it can also cure diseases."

Looking at the old man's reaction, she realized that he still liked her quite a bit. Could she regain his favor and outshine Lin Qingyan?

Thinking this to herself, she instinctively glanced provocatively in Lin Qingyan's direction. Lin Qingyan had her back to her and didn't see it, but Granny Lin did.

Lin Qingyan didn't pay much attention to the interaction between Xu Xinning and Old Master Dong. Xu Xinning grew up in the Dong family and used to be treated like a precious gem by them. It was only natural for Old Master Dong to care about her now.

After recognizing himself with the Dong family, he didn't intend to exclude Xu Xinning. If they could get along, that would be fine; if not, he would try not to associate with them. They could maintain a polite distance on the surface, but in private, they should not bother each other.

She went to the kitchen to cook, and Grandma Lin followed her. "Girl, Grandma will cook with you and help you out."

"Okay, Grandma."

They went into the kitchen together, and Grandma Lin casually remarked, "No wonder she's been around me for twenty years, and I have no memory of her at all, nor do I feel any liking for her. So pretentious and petty, how could I possibly like her?"

"Grandma, who are you talking about?" She seemed to be thinking of Xu Xinning.

Grandma Lin sighed, "I originally thought that even if she was adopted, she was still a member of the Dong family. I hoped that you two could get along peacefully, and even if you weren't biological sisters, you could get along as well as biological sisters. After all, harmony in the family brings prosperity, and Grandma hopes that every member of the family can love each other."

But some people might not think that way. She's used to being the only one pampered at home and is afraid someone else will take her place. She doesn't even consider who the rightful owner really is.

"Grandma, you just mentioned Xinning, what did you discover?"

"I saw her staring at you just now, and her gaze wasn't friendly. I don't know why she hates you."

Lin Qingyan suddenly remembered the time she was commended by the police. At the door of her office, Xu Xinning looked at her with unfriendly eyes.

She didn't think Xu Xinning was jealous of her at work; after all, they weren't in the same department.

Did she already know back then that she was the Dong family's granddaughter?

How did she know?

Grandma Lin added, "Girl, she's no good. You'd better watch out for her. If she dares to do anything to you, I'll kick her out of the Dong family immediately. If your grandfather dares to stop me, I'll divorce him."
