Zhang Moyan was stunned. Aren’t they waiting for their great aunt?

Judging from the seniority of this title, even Xiao Guotao would have to call her Auntie, right? And the attitude of the entire table waiting without complaint also made people feel that the great aunt must be an extremely majestic elder in the family...

Unexpectedly, the last person to come was an eight or nine-year-old elementary school student, which was really surprising.

I can only sigh that the order of seniority is very clear here.

Xiao Huai noticed her surprise, smiled gently, and explained to her carefully: "Man'er is young but of a high generation. The Xiao family bloodline has continued to this day. There are always a few generations in between who married and had children late for various reasons. The generation gap is more than ten years, and this has been the case for several generations."

Zhang Moyan learned something new: "Oh." But it was still very exaggerated.

Before she could say anything else, Xiao Xingyu started teasing the elementary school student loudly, "Grandma, you need to adjust the time of your art tutoring class. This teacher is really disturbing your meal time. Ask your niece's wife to ask your teacher to adjust it."

Although he said this to the little aunt, because of the timing, Zhang Moyan suspected that he was reminding her not to talk to Xiao Huai.

Let it be for now. After being interrupted, she had forgotten what she was going to say to Xiao Huai anyway.

I’m so curious, what’s the conflict between Xiao Xingyu and Xiao Huai?

"Wow! Xingyu! Why are you back?" The little aunt who had just sat down jumped up and down when she saw Xiao Xingyu. She turned around and asked Aunt Wang who was getting her schoolbag, "Why didn't Lin Yin tell me this good news when she picked me up?!"

"Didn't she tell you?" Wang Ma was holding her schoolbag, wondering, "Oh, yeah, why didn't Lin Yin come in? I specifically told her that Xingyu was coming back and asked her to stay for dinner tonight."

Little Aunt: "She sent me to the door and then went home."

"Oh?" Xiao Xingyu frowned, a little unhappy. "She knew I was coming back but she didn't come over. Isn't that too disrespectful to me?"

Zhou Xia nudged him soothingly. "Don't you know Lin Yin's personality? She's a bit socially anxious. The more people there are, the more she hides. Even if she's close to you, she'll avoid situations like this," she pointed at the large group of people, "as much as possible."

Xiao Xingyu shook his head: "She is still like this now? She is already in her twenties. How can she continue like this... Forget it, I haven't seen her for a long time. I will go see her after dinner!"

After saying this, he looked at Zhang Moyan specifically. Zhang Moyan felt that if she understood correctly, he meant for her to follow him.

Judging from this detail, Xiao Xingyu has already recognized her identity as a bodyguard.

"Brother, you can also stop by Zhou Xia's house to take a look," Xiao Mumu's voice rang out with a smile: "Zhou Xia lives upstairs in Lin Yin's house now!"

At the end, his voice was deliberately naughty, and Zhou Xia blushed: "Mu Mu, you are the one who talks too much!"

"My brother is telling the truth!" Sasa jumped out as if she had seen something unfair. "Brother Xingyu said he was going to see Sister Lin Yin tonight, but he didn't say he had to go to your place?"

Zhang Moyan was stunned by the sarcastic tone. How could this Sasa have such a strong personality?! The goddess didn't say anything, but she suddenly jumped out and made sarcastic remarks.

Zhou Xia blushed immediately. Sasa's mother turned her head and glared at Sasa, then started whispering parenting mode, and saw Sasa start to pout.

Xiao Xingyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Xia: "Really? You don't live in your own villa now and live in an apartment?"

Zhou Xia, perhaps embarrassed by Sasa's outburst, tried to remain calm. "Sister Lin Yin has always been Grandpa Guo Tao's assistant. She's dedicated to her job, but she's a bit of a loner. Her parents were worried about her living alone, and since Lin Yin and I are close, they asked me to take care of her. At the time, her upstairs neighbor was selling their house, and I thought I could live with her so I could take better care of her, so I bought it. This house is close to work, so I ended up living there most of the time!"

It was a simple question, but Zhou Xia, fearing misunderstanding, recounted the entire story. As the saying goes, the more you explain, the more you cover up. Zhang Moyan felt that Lin Yin's parents' instructions were definitely not the real reason.

"You're thoughtful."

Xiao Xingyu curled his eyes at Zhou Xia, and Zhou Xia smiled appropriately amid the booing.

When everyone was gathered, Xiao Weizhou immediately announced the start of the meal and asked Wang Ma and Yao Ma to start serving the hot dishes.

Zhang Moyan now completely believed the rumors on the Internet that Zhou Xia was deeply in love with Xiao Xingyu and had put in a lot of effort.

The girl they called Lin Yin sounded like a distant relative that Xiao Xingyu cared about. Just at someone's request, she bought a house and lived upstairs. She invested both money and energy in it, which was indeed a big investment.

The dishes were served quickly: abalone with yam and truffle sauce, sea cucumber with scallions, buttered breaded crab, veal in slow-cooked sauce, grouper in shark fin soup, braised lamb, grilled ox tongue, and pan-fried foie gras...

The menu featured both local ingredients from the Central Plains and air-flown seafood, perfectly matching Xiaowa's description of Xiao Xingyu's dietary preferences. This fusion of Eastern and Western cuisine had Zhang Moyan wondering whether the Xiao family's chef trained in Chinese or Western cuisine.

After the meal started, the atmosphere was joyful. Everyone chatted about family matters and clinked glasses. Zhang Moyan finally didn't have to worry about becoming the center of attention anymore. Except for a few nerve-wracking warning glances she received when Xiao Huai picked up a few dishes for her, she only had to quietly enjoy the food.

"Weizhou!" The half-full little aunt put down her chopsticks. She was indeed a person of very high seniority and she called Xiao Weizhou by his name.

"What's the matter, great aunt?" Xiao Weizhou stretched his neck in a very funny way, waiting for Xiao Maner's instructions. This behavior may be partly due to seniority and partly because he likes children.

The little aunt clasped her hands together, her clever and quirky big eyes giving Xiao Weizhou a praying look. "Tomorrow's school outing is not interesting at all. I don't want to go. Why don't you ask the teacher for leave and have Xingyu take me to that new theme park? My classmates said we can set up tents and have picnics there, and there's a super fun playground!"

"Huh?" Xiao Weizhou was embarrassed. This might be a difficult thing for him who always followed the rules. "This is not appropriate. It's good to go on a spring outing with classmates and participate in more group activities!"

"Weizhou, please, please!" The little aunt immediately knelt on the chair and banged her head on the table, thinking: "Other children's parents have taken them there. My parents are abroad and can't accompany me. It's rare that Xingyu is back, so I want to go too!"

"Oh, no, no, no!" Everyone at the table, young and old, men and women, stood up to stop the little ancestor from kowtowing desperately.

The little aunt continued to harass the whole family with her whining and complaining.

"It won't affect your studies. I'll call your teacher! We'll go to the park tomorrow!" In the end, Xiao Xingyu hugged the hopeless and heartbroken aunt on his lap and decided the matter against all odds.
