At the weekend, the sky is blue and clear, with the sun s.h.i.+ning brightly.
After being on a long business trip, Gong Siming's mother finally returns to the villa together with Gong Siming's grandfather, even Gong Siming's father who usually has heavy official duties hurries back as well.
"Grandfather, watch your step." Supporting grandfather with her hand, Si Wan carefully reminds him of looking at the road.
Holding Si Wan's slender arm, grandfather mumbles with dissatisfaction, "Wanwan, why are you so skinny?"
Meanwhile, he coldly glances at the couple following him. Yan Xiuya keeps silent for a second, knowing better not to retort.
Si Wan responds immediately, "Grandfather, I eat a lot but do not gain weight. This is the body const.i.tution many girls dream of."
"For what purpose do girls become that thin? It's better to gain some weight to keep healthy." Patting her on the hand, grandfather inquires after her well-being all the way, to which Si Wan answers in a soft voice one by one.
After the hosts take seats in the living room, the servants start to serve tea hurriedly but in order.
While grandfather and Gong Siming's father are talking about official business, Si Wan tenderly hands the tea to Gong Siming's mother, who still holds a serious face and takes a glance at upstairs. In a slightly unhappy tone, she asks, "Si Wan, where is Siming?"
Si Wan avoids her sight unconsciously, "He…"
Yesterday she intended to inform him by telephone, but as she remembers nothing happened at the drunken night, she failed to give him the call after a long consideration.
It can be seen that the look of Gong Siming's mother turns unpleasant at once. Observing her countenance, Si Wan quickly replies, "Mum, Siming is busy dealing with corporate affairs in the company, he will come back later."
Before Gong Siming's mother opens her mouth, grandfather turns around slowly and gives a snort. He knows clearly in his heart that the brat would not like to return at all.
Finding Si Wan's embarra.s.sment, grandfather sighs, "Wanwan, the brat is cold, and that's his temperament. You'll have to be generous and considerate to that cold fish. If you are bullied, just tell me and I will back you up."
"You grandfather is right, Wanwan, the bad character of the brat must have caused your grievance." Gong Siming's father tries to console Si Wan, "Take care of yourself. If Gong Siming does something wrong to you, just tell me, and I will teach him a lesson."
Si Wan smiles with shyness, "Grandfather, father, we're good."
Trying to stop the reprimand to her son, Gong Siming's mother changes the topic and asks Si Wan about her work, "I've heard that you invited the model Julie to be the spokesperson for our collection of 'Angel' jewelry, how about the effect?"
