However, their grandmother must have a lot of things to do and can't stay in the country. If the policy changes one day, their whole family will be in dire straits.
Bai Qiongyu was a little disappointed, but she also knew that this was not something that could be resolved in a day or two.
"Sweetie, may I... invite you to my home?" Bai Qiongyu asked, looking at her granddaughter who resembled her somewhat, and eagerly dressed He Tiantian up with the family's jewelry.
He Tiantian thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing that He Tiantian didn't call her "Grandmother," Bai Qiongyu was a little disappointed and asked cautiously, "You... could you call me Grandmother?"
He Tiantian was taken aback, nodded, and said awkwardly, "Grand...Grandmother!"
Because she wasn't familiar with the place, He Tiantian stammered a bit and seemed a little embarrassed.
"Yes!" Bai Qiongyu nodded. "Good child!"
Bai Qiongyu hugged He Tiantian tightly, trying to dispel the awkwardness and unfamiliarity between them with her embrace.
He Tiantian's body is stiff and she is not used to physical contact with others.
Perhaps it was because of her blood relation, or perhaps it was because Bai Qiongyu's hug was too strong and warm, but He Tiantian also hugged Bai Qiongyu back.
After a while, Xianglan brought in some snacks and tea. Seeing the young lady and the young lady embracing each other, she said, "Miss, you've been too excited today. Please have some calming tea. Young lady, you should have some too."
"Thank you!" He Tiantian said politely. This was her grandmother's trusted confidante, and she could tell at a glance that he was a capable person.
Bai Qiongyu introduced, "Tiantian, this is Xianglan, the maid who has served me since I was a child. We are as close as sisters. You can call her Grandma Lan."
"Grandma Lan," He Tiantian said politely.
Upon hearing this, Xianglan beamed with joy and quickly took off a pair of jade bracelets from her wrist, saying, "Although these were a gift from your grandmother, they are still very valuable. Since you call me Grandma Lan, I can't not give you a gift. Please take them."
Although He Tiantian didn't know much about jade, she knew that the jade table was very valuable, so she quickly declined, saying, "Grandma Lan, you're too kind. Since it's a gift from Grandmother, please keep it."
Bai Qiongyu, who was standing nearby, chuckled and said, "Oh dear, I was so excited and crying that I forgot all about the gift."
After saying that, he took off a pair of Hetian jade bracelets from his wrist.
"Sweetie, take this." Bai Qiongyu handed it to her. "You're such a young girl, so fresh and tender. You should dress up nicely."
Looking at the two pairs of bracelets in front of her, He Tiantian was at a loss for words, unsure whether to accept them or not.
Just then, Grandma Qi knocked on the door and came in, smiling, "Sweetie, this is a gift from an elder. You shouldn't refuse a gift from an elder, so please accept it. If you don't accept it, your grandmother and Grandma Lan will be unhappy."
“Sister Qi is right,” Bai Qiongyu said. “Hurry up and accept it.”
"Thank you, Grandma, Grandma Lan." He Tiantian carefully wrapped the two bracelets and placed them in her bag, reminding herself to handle them with care, as they were extremely valuable.
Grandma Qi saw that although Bai Qiongyu's eyes were red, she was all smiles, so she guessed that she had already recognized He Tiantian.
"Alright, now that you and your grandson have recognized each other, you'll have plenty of opportunities to spend time together in the future," said Grandma Qi. "Let's go see a play now."
“Okay!” Bai Qiongyu agreed and stepped forward to help Grandma Qi. “Tian Tian, let’s go together.”
"Okay!" He Tiantian replied and followed them to the original private room to watch the play.
He Tiantian had been watching intently and vaguely understood what was being said.
But today my brain is receiving too much information, and for a moment it's all jumbled up, so I can't concentrate at all.
After the opera, Bai Qiongyu treated everyone to dinner at a high-end restaurant in Chinatown, and during the meal, she kept putting food on He Tiantian's plate.
When it was time to part, Bai Qiongyu said, "Sister Qi, would you please bring your grandson and granddaughter to visit my home tomorrow?"
If Bai Qiongyu hadn't been worried that He Tiantian wouldn't be used to it, she would have packed up He Tiantian's things at the Qi family's house and taken them back with her. She could have gone without bringing anything, as the family had everything she needed.
"Okay!" Grandma Qi agreed. "I'll come to your house tomorrow."
Bai Qiongyu was very happy to hear Grandma Qi's affirmative answer.
She was also a little disappointed, as she noticed that He Tiantian and Sister Qi were quite close.
However, this is understandable. She had only been He Tiantian's grandmother for one day, while Seventh Sister had spent more than two years with He Tiantian, so they were naturally closer.
Once home, He Tiantian went inside to rest and sort out her excited and chaotic thoughts.
Grandma Qi San tiptoed in and knocked on the door.
"Grandma, what brings you here?" He Tiantian asked, drying her hair. "Weren't you supposed to be resting?"
"I'm free to rest whenever I want. I've come to see my granddaughter," Grandma Qi said with a smile. "Now that you've been recognized as my grandmother, what are your thoughts?"
He Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "My mind is a mess. Grandma wants us to come to America, but I don't want to stay here. Then Grandma said she's going to China to see Dad."
"Oh!" Grandma Qi sighed. "I understand how much a mother misses her son. It's normal for her to have these thoughts."
“Yes, I understand,” He Tiantian said. “But as you know, because my grandfather has overseas connections, our family has been reported. If we also have a grandmother who is a capitalist in the United States, our family will never have a peaceful life.”
"Haha, you're right," said Grandma Qi. "Your Uncle Shuliang has already made his way in the truth, and it's not easy for him to go back, let alone your grandmother."
"Yes!" He Tiantian said with a bitter face, "Domestic policies can change at any time. If something happens, our family of three will have a hard time."
Seeing He Tiantian's worried expression, Grandma Qi comforted her, saying, "Things haven't come to that point yet. How about this, call Yingjun later and have him come over so you can talk to him. After all, you'll be family in the future, and since they're officials, they know more about some policies than we do. Maybe they can find a proper solution."
"That's the only way then," He Tiantian said. "Don't worry, your Uncle Shuliang will also help you find a solution."
"Hopefully, there can be a proper solution," said Grandma Qi. "By the way, how come you accepted your grandmother so quickly?"
“Sigh, every time my father mentions my grandmother, he hopes she is alive and well. Since my father no longer harbors resentment, I have even less reason to resent her,” He Tiantian said. If she doesn’t acknowledge her, she won’t be able to get over that hurdle in her heart.
In this world, apart from Grandma Qi's family and Huo Yingjie's family, He Tiantian only has her parents as blood relatives.
Now, suddenly there is a biological grandmother in the world who is related to you by blood. She wants to acknowledge her, not for any other reason than to have another relative.
