Chapter 1917: 1917

Fortunately, the visitors appeared disinterested in Ye Qianqian .

She remained silent out of fear that they would notice her . However, she still didn’t manage to evade them .

“Qianqian, come over and meet someone,” Shen Zhilie called .

After Ye Qianqian finished wrapping the last dumpling, she replied, “Sure . ”

Ye Qianqian was a bundle of nerves . After she washed her hands and ensured that she was clean, and that there wasn’t any flour on her face or hands, she walked out .

Shen Zhilie was seated among the elderly folk and looked young and dashing . When he saw Ye Qianqian approaching, he waved his hands at her and said, “Come here . Come and meet these elders . ”

Ye Qianqian felt slightly embarrassed . She took one look at them before saying, “Hello, Grandfather and Grandmother . My name is Ye Qianqian . ”

“This is my girlfriend,” Shen Zhilie said .

The elderly folk sized her up before turning and exchanging a look with each other .

They seemed to be speaking in a certain dialect, but based on their expressions, Ye Qianqian felt slightly more at ease .

“It seems that they… are not particularly dissatisfied with me,” she thought .

“Come over here . ” Shen Zhilie waved again at Ye Qianqian .

Ye Qianqian walked over and sat down next to Shen Zhilie before he introduced her and said, “This is Grandfather Wang You . ”

“Hello, Grandfather Wang You . ”

“This is Grandmother Dongfang . ”

“Dongfang?” It was a complex surname that Ye Qianqian rarely heard of .

Ye Qianqian couldn’t help but give a double-take and obediently address her . “Hello, Grandmother Dongfang . ”

“This is Grandfather Nanfeng,” Shen Zhilie said, introducing her to another elder .

Ye Qianqian: “…”

After a round of introductions, Ye Qianqian felt that all the elderly folks looked the same, and she didn’t manage to remember anyone .

While they all had kind and amiable smiles on their faces, Ye Qianqian couldn’t explain why, but under their watchful eyes she felt goosebumps break out across her skin .

During lunchtime, all the elderly folks had their meals, along with Nanny He, who had woken up early in the morning to prepare the dumplings .

Ye Qianqian helped to attend to the guests . Later, they all followed Old Mrs . Shen into the study to have a chat . The guests only left at around three o’clock in the afternoon .

An elderly woman, whose white hair was twisted up into a bun, went to hold Ye Qianqian’s hands in hers before leaving and saying with a gentle smile on her face, “You’re a nice lady . ”

Ye Qianqian was stunned for a moment . She couldn’t understand what the woman meant by this .

The elderly woman smiled, and before Ye Qianqian could reply, she released her hands and left with her friends .

Ye Qianqian and Shen Zhilie sent the guests off, and after they watched them leave, Shen Zhilie turned to look at her .

Shen Zhilie seemed to be watching her strangely . Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Ye Qianqian waved her hand and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Grandmother Dongfang actually likes you very much . ” Shen Zhilie looked at Ye Qianqian as he walked a circle around her . “Grandmother Dongfang is the closest with Grandmother, and she is as tough a nut to crack as Grandmother . ”

“Huh?” When Ye Qianqian heard this, she found it to be very abrupt and unexpected . “It’s really strange . Then… why did she say that I’m a nice lady?”

“I don’t know, either . ” Shen Zhilie laughed happily . “No matter what, the elderly lady likes you, so that’s a piece of good news, isn’t it?”

Ye Qianqian still felt that something was amiss, but when she heard what he said, she, too, nodded her head in agreement . “Fair enough . ”

When they returned inside the house, Old Mrs . Shen was seated in the living room, eating sunflower seeds . When she saw Ye Qianqian enter the room, she said, “Zhilie, go cut some fruits and bring them over . ”

Shen Zhilie took one glance at the Old Madam before looking at Ye Qianqian .

“Qianqian, come here,” Old Lady Shen called her .

Ye Qianqian felt her body tense up . She walked over slowly, as though she were confronting a great enemy .
