"Wait a minute! Why are you in such a hurry? Please ask the guests to sit down in the flower hall first." An old lady's calm voice came from the room.
"Okay, then hurry up and don't keep the guests waiting for too long."
"……Um."
The old lady responded softly, revealing an indescribable emotion.
I am about to meet an old friend again, and in the midst of my anticipation and anxiety, I actually feel a little homesick.
After a while, an old lady in full makeup slowly walked out of the main house with Xiao Ba in her arms.
She looks 60% like Xiaohua. Although she is old, she does not look old. Her delicate eyebrows and eyes can vaguely remind people of her appearance when she was young.
The old lady was wearing a long skirt with peculiar patterns, which was probably the unique clothing of the Luo people. The colors were bright and colorful without losing the grandeur, which made her look exotic.
The old lady, who was originally overjoyed, suddenly froze in expression when she saw the stranger next to her granddaughter.
His eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Who are they? Hua'er, why did you bring strangers in?"
After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at Wen Xi and the others with full vigilance.
Xiaohua hurriedly said, "Grandma, listen to me. They are not strangers. This is Sister Xi, and this is her fiancé. They are all my friends, not bad people."
"Whether they are good or bad has nothing to do with me! Hua'er, I told you to go find your Grandpa Sheng, why are you bringing this mess back with you?"
"Grandma, Sister Xi is not a messy person. She is Grandpa Sheng's granddaughter." Xiaohua muttered in a low voice after being scolded.
The old lady was stunned.
"What did you say?"
"I said, Sister Xi is Grandpa Sheng's granddaughter."
"What!"
The old lady was startled and quickly looked towards Wen Xi.
Looking closely, this girl's appearance was indeed somewhat similar to the face in his memory.
There was a photo of his wife in the pocket watch that Qingfeng carried with him at that time. She could never forget it after seeing it once.
This girl and the person in the photo... do look a bit like each other.
"Are you really Qingfeng's descendant?"
"Yes, hello, Grandma Luo." Wen Xi nodded in response.
"What about Qingfeng? Why didn't he come with you?" The old lady stared at Wenxi, her eyes suspicious and tinged with sadness. "We've known each other for a while, why is he so cruel that he wouldn't even fulfill my last wish before I die?"
"Grandma, it's not that Grandpa Sheng doesn't want to see you, he is..." Seeing her grandma looking heartbroken, Xiaohua looked at Wen Xi for help.
"Grandma Luo, you misunderstood. Although I have never met my grandfather, I know from his actions that he is by no means a heartless person. The reason why he can't come is because... he passed away many years ago." Wen Xi said slowly to the old man.
Although the truth is cruel, the old man has been thinking about it for so many years. He should not be kept in the dark and should know the truth.
"What?! How is this possible?!"
Hearing Xi say this, the old lady suddenly widened her cloudy eyes.
"You're lying! You're lying! The orchid was blooming just two days ago, and Qingfeng was clearly alive and well. How could he have passed away so many years ago?"
"We didn't lie to your grandma. Really, why can't you accept this reality? Grandpa Sheng did..."
"Shut up!" the old lady yelled, and even Xiao Ba in her arms jumped and shuddered. "Hua'er, your grandma is almost dead, but I'm not blind or deaf yet! How dare you collude with outsiders to lie to me! Other things are fine, but this concerns the life and death of your grandfather Sheng. Just wait and see how I deal with you, little bastard!"
