"Oh, our family is finally safe and sound, but I miss grandma so much."

"Where did this little Mongolian prince come from?"

As soon as Ping'an arrived at the door, he rushed inside. He had to tell his grandfather how many prey he had caught.

At this time, Lin Lishan was chatting with several women in the living room. She stood up in surprise when she saw him come back.

Ping An immediately stopped and looked around. He found that many people were strangers to him. He smiled cheerfully and said, "I miss Grandma so much, too."

"Shanshan, this is your little grandson? He's so good-looking."

"Little boy, what's your name and how old are you?"

Ping An looked at his grandmother and found that she was just holding him in her arms, blissfully ignoring him without introducing him. So how should he address these people?

"Hello everyone, welcome to my home. My nickname is Zhou Ping'an, my real name is Zhang Mingxuan, and I'll be four soon."

Several women burst into laughter at his adult-like speech.

"Little guy, why do you have two last names?"

Ping An glanced at the other person and said, "My mother's last name is Zhou, and my father's last name is Zhang. What's so strange about that?"

"Oh my, your little grandson is incredible. He's so young, but he has such a sharp tongue!"

Ping An didn't refute the other party. He looked at his grandmother and sighed secretly. What should he do with his grandmother being so stupid? He was worried to death.

"Grandma, where is my grandpa?"

Seeing him coming down, Lin Lishan carried him to the study and said, "Your grandfather is talking to someone in there, so be careful. Why didn't you let us pick you up when you came back?"

Ping An turned his head to examine the faces of the women sitting there, and replied, "Mom said Grandpa has been exhausted lately, and we can't delay his rest."

Lin Lishan had no idea what her grandson was thinking and could not tell that this was an order to leave.

She placed the child at the door of the study and patted his head. "Why are you so tired, Grandpa? Next time you go somewhere, I'll make sure you ask your parents to send a telegram back in advance."

Ping An nodded with a smile, waved at her, and knocked on the study door.

"Come in."

As soon as Ping An entered, he saw two men sitting on chairs and his grandfather sitting on a large chair at the desk. Well, he understood, this must not be an important guest, but why was he allowed into the study?

"Why are you alone? Where are your parents?"

Ping An jumped up to him and stretched out his arms. "Xiao Wu and his wife and Aunt Chen need to pack their luggage before coming in."

Zhou Xiaozheng picked up the child and held him in his arms. "Be careful, your mother will hear you and beat you up." He said to the two people sitting below, "This is my grandson. Come and say hello, this is Grandpa Chen and Grandpa Wu."

"The chief is truly blessed. This child is obviously very smart."

"He has a big head and a weak mind. He will be a general in the future."

Ping An called out to them with a smile, then stayed in his arms without saying a word. He looked at them with his big eyes and listened to their greetings and chats.

Zhang Guoqing was in the kitchen, putting away the packages and eavesdropping. After a while, he asked Aunt Chen, "When did the guest come? Was it my dad's or my mom's guest?"

Aunt Chen shook her head. "It seems they all know the leader, but the wife is also quite familiar with him. After lunch, they came to the house and have been chatting until now."

After she finished speaking, Aunt Chen peeked outside and whispered, "Five women and two men came in together, carrying two bottles of special liquor and two bags of cakes. The men sat for a short while before the chief took them inside. The women stayed in the living room the whole time, constantly talking about how so-and-so was doing. It was all just idle chatter."

Zhang Guoqing grimaced after hearing this. This old woman is so talkative. She's been talking nonsense all afternoon. Where does she get so much to say?

In the east wing, Zhou Jiao washed away the dust from her journey and finally felt alive. Everything was fine outside, but it was a pity that taking a bath was inconvenient and she always had some concerns.

When I changed my clothes and went out, I saw Zhang Guoqing already standing at the door waiting for me.

"The living room is full of old ladies. If you're too lazy to deal with them, wait until they leave before going to say hello."

Zhou Jiao asked him curiously, "Have you said hello?"

Zhang Guoqing nodded, grabbed his clothes and went inside.

Oh, when have so many strangers ever entered her house? She had to go and meet them. Thinking of this, Zhou Jiao checked her clothes in the mirror, and when she saw that there was nothing wrong, she left the room.

"Mom, hello aunties."

In the living room, several women heard the sound and subconsciously looked towards the door, only to see a little girl walking towards them.

"Shanshan, is this your girl? Why doesn't she look like you at all?"

"Haha, I didn't expect Shanshan to give birth to such a beautiful little girl."

"If I had known this earlier, I would have brought my daughter over to visit and get some of the fairy spirit."

Zhou Jiao smiled brightly, "Aunties, you guys are really good at praising people. It makes me almost fly. You guys better hold on tight."

One of the women nudged Lin Lishan and said, "This child looks 80% like Brother Zheng, and nothing like you. You're at a big loss. Fortunately, you have the same personality as him."

"Come sit down and chat with your aunt. If you don't tell me that you have a son this old who is no different from a little girl, no one will believe it if you go out."

After hearing this, Zhou Jiao sat down next to her mother.

A woman with a pointed chin smiled at her and said, "My girl is Wang Huihui. You should know her, right?"

Zhou Jiao was speechless. If the other party hadn't said it, she would have forgotten about the girl with the upturned nose. She glanced at the other party and nodded.

"I heard that you two sisters have a good relationship. Remember to come to my house often in the future."

Zhou Jiao could only agree. But forget about going to her house. Her memory was so good, how could she forget the sneer on Wang Huihui's face when they first met? Even though she later tried to get close to her, Zhou Jiao still had no good feelings towards her... such a snobbish fence-sitter.

"...Brother Zheng has a rich family and a great fortune. You should have a son long ago. Do you want me to introduce you to a doctor?"

Lin Lishan smiled and shook her head. "We already have Jiaojiao, why would we have another child? My Xiaowu is just like my own son. I've given up on the idea."

"How can that be? You have to give it to Brother Zheng anyway..."

Zhou Jiao saw someone poking the other person and glanced over. There really are all kinds of people, meddling in their own affairs.

She squinted her eyes and smiled faintly, glancing at everyone. Their expressions were truly different.

When it was time for dinner, the two men in the study stood up and said goodbye, and also took the women in the living room away, which finally made Zhou Jiao breathe a sigh of relief.

"Dad, are these all your comrades?"

Zhou Xiaozheng patted his daughter's head gently, "What's that look? You're just looking at your dad having fun. But it seems like we're really comrades, I'd forgotten about it."

Lin Lishan laughed heartily after hearing this. "Brother Zheng, those women must be sad. They said they had made several appointments before getting together, otherwise they would have come to see you a long time ago."

Zhou Xiaozheng and his daughter looked at each other. They really didn't expect that someone would believe it.

"Grandma, they are not good people."

Zhou Xiaozheng and his daughter smiled at each other after hearing this.

"Oh, our Ping An doesn't like them? Why?"

Ping An looked at his grandmother and hesitated for a moment, "Their smiles are fake, they don't like you. They are not good friends. I will play with you from now on."

Lin Lishan nodded at him and said, "You little rascal. Grandma knows that they like your grandpa, so they don't like grandma. Now they are smiling at grandma because they hope that grandma can help their children in the future."

Zhou Xiaozheng picked up Ping An and said with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child? Okay, let's have dinner as a family."

Zhou Jiao looked at her thoughtfully, "Mom, you are the hostess of this house. If someone you don't like comes to visit, just refuse to see them. Don't worry about embarrassing Dad."

"Forget it. Things may change. Just ignore what they say. A lot of people are like this. As soon as your dad showed up this time, everyone started to get restless. If we don't see others, gossip will spread and affect your dad. Anyway, we don't have time to see anyone except on weekends."

What could Zhou Jiao say? She patted her mother comfortingly.

A man who's too good puts too much pressure on the women around him. Do I have to be on par with Zhang Guoqing in the future? Otherwise, if some woman ever feels unworthy of him, she'll be sick to her stomach.
