Grandma Qi was very happy to hear the young man's praise.
"Haha, this child knows how to praise people." Grandma Qi chuckled. "Alright, if you have anything else to say, just say it, and we'll do our best to cooperate."
Huo Yingjun smiled and said, "Right now, you and Tiantian are Singaporean Chinese. These are your identification documents. You're taking a cruise to Hong Kong to visit relatives and for tourism, and then you'll go to the United States. Tiantian, please be careful, your identification documents are all in your suitcases."
He Tiantian opened the box. Inside was a pink leather bag containing her and Grandma Qi's identification documents.
He Tiantian read it once and remembered it. The names were the same as before, only the nationalities had changed; the person was now a Singaporean.
That's good, it saves a lot of trouble.
He Tiantian opened Grandma Qi's suitcase, took out Grandma Qi's black leather bag, and said, "Grandma, you'll look even more stylish with this bag later."
“Yes, you’ve fallen in love with the grandson of Nurarihyon!” Huo Yingjun chimed in. “He Tiantian is your granddaughter, so you two are here in Hong Kong for a trip. We’re your bodyguards. We’ll be at the pier in an hour. Pack your things, and we’ll be off the shore soon.”
"Okay, I understand," He Tiantian replied.
Huo Yingjun went out, and He Tiantian asked Grandma Qi to sit down while she began to pack her things.
With two leather trunks, the two rattan trunks from before are no longer needed. The clothes with period characteristics were also placed in the rattan trunks, which will be given to Huo Yingjun later for safekeeping.
He Tiantian could see the situation outside the window. The cruise ship had arrived at the shore, and there were many people holding signs to welcome people at the dock.
He Tiantian glanced around; her eyesight was excellent. She spotted Grandma Qi and Miss He Tiantian in the crowd.
"Grandma, look, someone's coming to pick us up downstairs." He Tiantian pointed outside, showing it to Grandma Qi.
Grandma Qi glanced at it a few times, but couldn't make out the words. She smiled and said, "I'm getting old, my eyesight is failing, I can't see the words clearly anymore."
"Knock knock knock!" There was a knock on the door, and Huo Yingjun was already waiting outside.
Grandma Qi smiled and said, "Let's go, I can't wait to see the outside world."
He Tiantian opened the door, and Huo Yingjun and two colleagues came in.
"Grandma Qi, it's time for us to disembark. If you have any questions, you can ask me," Huo Yingjun said with a smile, gesturing for his colleagues to get their things.
"Don't throw away my old things!" Grandma Qi instructed. They were all her hard-earned savings, and she couldn't bear to throw them away.
"Don't worry, Grandma, we've kept them all for you," Huo Yingjun said with a smile. "Miss He, may we leave now?"
Grandma Qi and He Tiantian exchanged a smile and said, "That's fine."
Surrounded by bodyguards, the grandfather and grandson safely disembarked from the cruise ship.
Because Grandma Qi had bound feet, He Tiantian helped her the whole time, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
However, seeing Grandma Qi's whole demeanor, everyone assumed she was an old lady from a wealthy family!
Once ashore, a man who looked like a butler stood outside, holding a large sign. He bowed slightly and asked with a smile, "Are you Old Madam Qi?"
Huo Yingjun stepped forward and said with a smile, "Yes, we are the Qi family from Singapore!"
"We are the Zhao family from Hong Kong. The old lady heard that the Qi family's old lady was coming today, so she specially asked me to pick her up. May we leave now?" The middle-aged man who looked like a butler was very respectful.
"Please lead the way, thank you," Huo Yingjun said politely, also to avoid attracting attention.
After getting in the car, we drove for about an hour and arrived at a villa in a beautiful setting.
"Madam, Miss has gotten out of the car," Huo Yingjun said. "This is the Zhao family's villa. The Zhao family are powerful businessmen who are temporarily staying with us for a few days."
To prepare for the performance, Old Mrs. Zhao even came over in person today to host a banquet for you!
These are the Fok family's allies in Hong Kong—don't mess with me!
After getting off the car, several servants escorted a well-off old lady over.
He Tiantian helped Grandma Qi San out of the car.
"My sister has arrived. I apologize for not being able to greet her properly..." Old Mrs. Zhao was taken aback. She felt that Grandma Qi looked familiar, but she couldn't remember her for a moment.
Grandma Qi was a woman of strong character. Despite being so enthusiastic towards Old Mrs. Zhao, whom she had never met before, she remained neither humble nor arrogant, and smiled, saying, "Sister, you're too kind!"
However, Grandma Qi also felt that the old lady in front of her looked familiar.
However, with everyone present, no one dared to say anything, and they all went into the villa together.
"Knowing that my sister is tired from her journey, we'll just have a simple lunch, and then we'll make a more substantial dinner," said Grandma Zhao with a smile. Although she said it would be simple, the table was still laden with food.
Knowing that Grandma Qi was not used to knives and forks, she served chopsticks directly.
"Thank you for your trouble, sister," said Grandma Qi with a smile, and the meal was enjoyed by both host and guests.
After dinner, Grandma Qi and He Tiantian went inside to rest.
Grandma Qi seemed lost in thought and remained silent.
"Grandma, what's wrong? You seem to have become quieter since we came here," He Tiantian asked, full of curiosity.
When there are outsiders around, He Tiantian can understand why Grandma Qi is like this.
But there are no outsiders here, only the two of them, grandmother and granddaughter. Why won't Grandma Qi say anything?
"I feel like that old lady Zhao looks familiar, but it's been so long that I can't remember her right now," Grandma Qi murmured. She usually doesn't have this feeling, which is why she's been so engrossed in her memory.
"Grandma, although the world is full of wonders, you can't just run into someone you know! There's no such thing as a coincidence!" He Tiantian said. "Alright, you're tired, I'll help you take a bath!"
Grandma Qi thought He Tiantian's words made sense and nodded, saying, "You're right, there aren't that many coincidences in the world."
Not far away, Old Mrs. Zhao was not taking her afternoon nap as usual, but instead leaning against the window gazing into the distance!
"Madam, it's time to rest," the maid said softly, reminding the old lady to take a break.
"You may leave now," Old Mrs. Zhao waved her hand, dismissing the servant.
When she was alone, Grandma Zhao continued to think.
The two old ladies were filled with this question, but neither of them took a step forward.
Huo Yingjun and his entourage stayed in Hong Kong for three days before boarding a plane to the United States.
After they left, Old Madam Zhao suddenly realized what had happened and exclaimed, "I remember now, she was...!"
"Madam, who are you thinking of?" the maid asked, very curious. The old lady was usually calm and rarely acted so startled.
Considering Huo Yingjun's identity and the fact that the other person was by his side, Madam Zhao couldn't speak of it in front of outsiders. She would definitely ask Huo Yingjun when the opportunity arose. (To be continued.)
