"Ningning, why didn't you ask your grandparents for a gift?"
Huo Shan looked at Huo Jinning, who had a suspicious expression, raised an eyebrow, and then quickly changed the subject to something that interested her.
"Huh?" Huo Jinning was a little confused by the question, but she quickly came to her senses.
"That's right! Grandpa and Grandma, this is my little sister's first time visiting our old house, so according to custom, she should definitely receive a gift!"
"If you're not ready yet... hmph, then I won't come again next time, and you'll just have to wait and see~" Huo Jinxin chimed in, coaxing the two elders as she spoke.
"Oh, you little rascal, now that you have a little sister, you're already starting to dislike your grandparents?" Cheng Rong said, both amused and exasperated.
"No way, that's not what I meant! Actually, I already guessed that you had prepared the gifts. I was just teasing you when I said that," Huo Jin explained guiltily, shaking her head.
"You have the most clever ideas!"
Cheng Rong smiled and gently tapped Huo Jinxin's forehead, expressing both affection and helplessness.
“Yes, Dad and Xin Xin are right, we need a gift.” Huo Chengyu joined the conversation.
After all, it was their first meeting, and she was their granddaughter whom they had finally found, so naturally, a carefully prepared gift was essential.
However, everyone was so focused on chatting and catching up that they forgot about it for a while.
Upon seeing the pile of exquisite gifts before her, Huo Jinning's large eyes immediately lit up.
His lips couldn't help but curl upwards, he was so happy it looked like his grin reached his ears, and his eyes were almost squinted into slits.
[Wow, we're rich! We're rich!]
[I'm a little rich woman now.]
[Grandpa and Grandma are so kind.]
[Either my aunt and uncle are fine.]
I've completely forgotten what just happened.
"Second brother, Xinxin, you two take Ningning out for a walk. The roses your grandma planted are in full bloom right now, so colorful and beautiful! Let Ningning enjoy them and also get familiar with our old house," Huo Shan said.
"That's wonderful! Ningning, let me tell you, the roses that Grandma planted are absolutely gorgeous! The colorful flowers are blooming in profusion, and the fragrance is wonderful. I'm sure you'll love them!"
Huo Chengyu was so excited that he couldn't contain his excitement. He stood up abruptly and reached out to pull Huo Jinning.
"Okay, sure."
After Huo Jinning left with her second brother, Huo Shan then recounted to everyone the various extraordinary events that Huo Jinning had experienced since being found.
"You mean Ningning has the ability to foresee the future?"
After hearing what Huo Shan said, Grandpa Huo Changde was astonished and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, everything she said has come true in the end. And just before today, she had never met my younger sister, but even we didn't know that my younger sister was planning to get a divorce, yet she did."
"Does Ningning know that you can hear her thoughts? Besides our family, are there any other people who can hear her?" Huo Changde asked with a serious expression.
"As far as I know, it seems that only our family members have this ability. Moreover, based on the eldest brother's observations, other outsiders really can't hear it."
"In that case, if Ningning's words are true, you must be extra careful in handling matters. After all, our Huo family absolutely cannot fall into the hands of those treacherous and cunning people!" Huo Changde earnestly instructed.
"Don't worry, Dad, we know what we're doing."
"Just continue with the original plan, but remember, never let Ningning find out that we know what she's thinking," Huo Changde emphasized again.
Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating that they understood the deeper meaning.
Then, Huo Changde turned his gaze to Huo Yi and said, "And you, Xiao Yi, don't be unreasonable anymore! Now that we've figured out it was just a misunderstanding, let's live our lives peacefully! As for those with ulterior motives, just ignore them."
"Okay, I understand."
Huo Yi nodded obediently in response.
At this moment, Chu An looked at Huo Yi with a face full of guilt and said softly, "It's all my fault. I didn't know she had secretly come to see you behind my back. I'm so sorry..."
His words were filled with pity and self-reproach for Huo Yi.
The two finally reconciled and began planning to give Huo Jinning another generous gift, otherwise things might really get out of control, just as Huo Jinning had said.
The family gathered together happily for lunch, which was undoubtedly Huo Jinning's most enjoyable moment, and she was full of inner monologues.
Wow, this is delicious, so delicious!
[This roast duck isn't as good as Grandpa Xu's, but it's still alright.]
This braised pork is quite good.
[And this fish, I don't recognize it either, but it's delicious.]
[And this...and this...they're all delicious.]
I don't know which one to eat.
Huo Jinning, who had been eating non-stop, eventually ate until she was stuffed.
The whole family wanted to laugh but dared not, and Huo Jinning ate the most during the meal.
After dinner, the family sat together again, chatting about happy things. Huo Yi's child woke up, and they played with the child for a while.
However, good times always come too soon, and with reluctance, everyone left the old house.
I wonder what kind of gift they'll give? It shouldn't be bad, right?
[I'm so happy! It would be even better if there were more grandpas and grandmas.]
[Oh, right, my aunt and uncle are also there.]
The other passengers said they were glad the grandparents didn't know about it, otherwise they would have thought the gift was a waste.
I've never met my maternal grandparents, I wonder if I'll receive any gifts?
[However, I really don't like my uncle's family; they even tried to harm us.]
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that it was Zhao Qi's lineage that was determined to harm his family. They originally thought it was just Zhao Ziheng's decision, but they didn't expect Zhao Qi to be involved as well.
Zhao Qiuying secretly thought to herself that she really should take Huo Jinning back to her parents' home.
They had been back in the capital for some time, but had not yet been able to make their trip.
This is rather impolite, since according to common sense, it is indeed appropriate to go and find Ningning.
The reason she couldn't go before was twofold: firstly, the incident in the eastern suburbs was very troublesome; secondly, her second brother's family had just returned, and there were many trivial matters at home, and she was naturally afraid of trouble, so she delayed it.
However, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't delay any longer and had to find an opportunity to go back and visit them.
