Chapter 647 Recognizing Relatives

When Zhang Shouyi saw Zhang Hongmei's letter, he smiled. He didn't even have children yet, but now he had a goddaughter, and soon he would have an adopted son.

"Hongmei, don't worry, I'll send Wang Ying and one of my assistants to pick me up. I'll let you know when we get home. Honey, how are you going to reward me?"

Zhang Hongmei smiled after reading the letter. This man had never opposed her; in fact, he was incredibly supportive. Wow! What incredible luck! To find such a man?

Hearing the door open next door, she knew Beth McKenna had finished her game. She followed her downstairs, refusing Zeng Zhongkang's offer to come along, saying, "You should trust me!"

Under Zeng Zhongkang's complicated gaze, the four got into the car. Zhao Tiancheng refused to come pick them up tomorrow; the seven of them could just drive there together.

The three ladies sat in the back. Annie was particularly excited, constantly telling Zhang Hongmei about her family, which made Huang Meihua laugh.

“Annie, your mother has a room too, right next to yours.”

"I want to live with my mom," Annie pouted, sounding reluctant.

Zhang Hongmei patted her head and said, "Okay, let's do it together."

Anne listened to her mother and threw herself into her arms.

An hour later, we finally arrived. It was also on the outskirts of the city, and its exterior looked older than the Roy family's.

Huang Meihua smiled at Zhang Hongmei and said, "Welcome home, Hongmei. I won't be lonely here anymore, and I won't feel like an outsider. I'm happy to have someone like me. Thank you, Hongmei."

Zhang Hongmei just smiled, unsure how to respond. But Beth McKen was clearly not satisfied.

"Wife, how can you be an outsider? You are the master of this place."

"Hehe, yes, I am the lady of the house."

The car stopped directly in the yard. Carlos McKen was already out, smiling as he opened the back door. "Three beautiful ladies, please get out of the car."

Zhang Hongmei was invited into the living room, which was truly luxurious. A joke suddenly came to mind: when a rich person displays glassware, you'll think it's crystal.

Huang Meihua sat next to Zhang Hongmei, watching the young girl's first visit without showing any unusual expression, remaining neither humble nor arrogant, which made Huang Meihua even happier.

I was worried that she might show her timidity, but she was unexpectedly poised and confident.

"Dad, Mom, I've arranged a small dinner party tonight, everyone in the family will be there," Carlos McKen reported to his parents with a smile, but he was mostly telling Zhang Hongmei.

"That's all settled. I just don't know when the dress will be delivered?"

"I confirmed by phone that it will definitely arrive before five o'clock, but it's not the red one I ordered today, it's a light yellow one. This one is available as a finished product, the same one for the mother and daughter."

When Annie heard that her clothes were the same as her mother's, she smiled happily.

"Hongmei, can you help me install the Snake game?" Beth McKen asked Zhang Hongmei ingratiatingly. For someone of her age, still a very authoritative figure, to make such a gesture without it seeming out of place was truly remarkable.

Zhang Hongmei nodded, and the three of them entered the study together. It seemed to have exceptional taste, but they didn't examine it closely, which was actually impolite.

I sat down at the computer, took out drive A from my bag, and put it directly into the drive. It really only took a few minutes to install the game.

Do you need me to help you design a computer password?

"You can do that?"

"It's just a simple little program."

"Thanks, please hurry, I've never heard of such a feature before."

Zhang Hongmei's hands moved rapidly across the keyboard. A moment later, a password input field appeared.

"You can enter it yourself. Six numbers will do, but don't forget, it will be very troublesome to find the password later."

Zhang Hongmei was about to stand up when Beth McKen pressed down on her shoulders. "Hongmei, you may not have accepted us yet, but I, Beth McKen, have already accepted you, so I won't hide anything from you. Just sit here without worry."

“Mr. McCann, this is very wrong. I don’t want to take responsibility.”

"Hehe, it's alright, it's nothing, you don't need to feel guilty. It's a good thing that one more person in the world knows, at least if there are any problems, you can still crack the computer."

Zhang Hongmei tried to get up again, but failed. Finally, having no other option, she said, "Please give me a six-digit password, and I'll enter it for you."

Beth McKen said a string of numbers, and Zhang Hongmei typed them in.

"Alright, that's enough. You can play by yourself now. Annie, shall we go out?"

"Hmm. Okay, Annie, would you like to show your mother around our house? Can you be a good guide?"

"Of course, Mom. I'll show you my room. I also know where your room is. There's my playroom, my changing room, Dad's gym, and the greenhouse. These are all my favorite places."

“Okay, please lead the way, Annie.” Zhang Hongmei smiled, took Annie’s hand, nodded to Beth McKen, and the two left.

For the next hour, Zhang Hongmei wandered around the various rooms, but Annie's walk-in closet still left her speechless. That's the difference between rich and poor!

"Mom, do you like the room I arranged for you? I don't think the bedding is very pretty." Annie stood in front of the bed, looking at the green jacquard bedding, and turned to ask Zhang Hongmei.

"I think it's fine. Don't you feel it's very refreshing?"

Annie glanced at Zhang Hongmei with a puzzled look. Since her mother liked it, fine, but she still preferred yellow. Wasn't it prettier that way?

Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. It turned out that the maid had come to call them downstairs because the dresses had been delivered.

"Sophia, have them bring the clothes up; we want to try them on in the changing room."

"Yes, Miss."

"Mom, they're so annoying! Why do we have to go down there ourselves?"

"Alright, didn't you let them come up?"

Within minutes, several people behind Huang Meihua came up together. "I didn't expect it. Even my Annie is better; bringing her up saved a lot of trouble."

Zhang Hongmei just smiled. As for the people and things she didn't care about, she really didn't care much about them.

In the reception room on the second floor, there were four suitcases in total. The first one opened was the dress.

The maid helped carry the items to the dressing room, and the mother and daughter helped each other out, and came out in a little while.

Actually, Zhang Hongmei felt that this dress must have been made for someone else, probably a teenager, so it fit her quite well. It was a good size, the only slightly tight spot being the chest area, but it wasn't uncomfortable, just a little uncomfortable. What she liked most was that it was a winter dress, with long sleeves, a high collar, and lots of pearls sewn onto the bodice.
