Where do all these coincidences come from? They are all deliberately arranged by Zhan Yue.
“Young Madam.”
Zeng Xiaoya called out.
Hai Tong quickly said, “Doctor Zeng, don’t call me that. Just call me Hai Tong, or Sister Tong. I’m several years older than you, so calling me sister is fine too.”
“Sister Tong.”
Zeng Xiaoya was not pretentious and immediately changed her address.
The last time she saw Hai Tong was in Zhan Yue’s hospital ward.
“Long time no see. Sister Tong has become even more beautiful.”
Zeng Xiaoya sincerely praised her.
Hai Tong was already a mother of two children, but she took good care of herself. She looked about the same age as Zeng Xiaoya, and it was hard to tell that Hai Tong was several years older.
“You are very beautiful too.”
Hai Tong wore a ladies’ suit. Dressed in professional attire, she appeared more astute and capable.
Compared to a few years ago, she had become much more mature and steady, with a touch of sophistication. After all, she had been navigating the business world for several years. It was different from running a bookstore in the past; now she handled big deals.
Zeng Xiaoya looked at Beibei. “This is your daughter, right?”
“Yes, this is my daughter, Beibei. Say hello to Auntie Zeng.”
Beibei looked at Zeng Xiaoya and sweetly called out “Auntie Zeng”.
Zeng Xiaoya gently pulled her little hand but did not dare to reach out to hold her. She knew this little girl was the precious treasure of the Zhan family, and since she and Hai Tong were not very familiar, it would not be appropriate to hug someone else’s daughter right upon meeting.
However, Beibei actively stretched out her arms, wanting Zeng Xiaoya to hold her.
Zeng Xiaoya looked at Hai Tong and smiled. “The little darling wants me to hold her.”
Hai Tong passed her daughter over for Zeng Xiaoya to hold.
Zeng Xiaoya did not hesitate and took the little girl into her arms.
Zhan Yin supported the old lady, and the group walked into the hotel.
Soon, someone led them through a private passage to avoid mixing with others.
“Knowing that Grandma would come for lunch, Tongtong said she would not go home to eat and would wait here instead. She thought she might run into Grandma, and we could all have a meal together with her.”
Zhan Yin explained why the family of three was waiting there.
“Next time, don’t wait at the entrance with Beibei. Just wait in a private room.”
The old lady said.
“Beibei is so young. Don’t let the media flashbulbs frighten her.”
“Grandma, we have protected Grandma well. Even if someone sneaks a photo, they won’t capture her features.”
Hai Tong said, “She insisted on waiting at the entrance because she missed Great-Grandma too much.”
The old lady looked at Beibei, who was being held by Zeng Xiaoya, and said, “Beibei said she missed Great-Grandma, but now that she has seen Auntie Zeng, she has forgotten about Great-Grandma.”
“Miss Great-Grandma.”
The little girl said in her milky voice.
The old lady smiled. “Great-Grandma missed you too.”
Beibei wanted to get down. Zeng Xiaoya put her on the ground. She had only taken a couple of steps when Zhan Yue picked her up from behind.
“Has Beibei missed Eighth Uncle?”
“No.”
The little girl answered honestly.
“Eighth Uncle doesn’t play with Beibei.”
Zhan Yue deliberately put on a very hurt expression. “Eighth Uncle missed Beibei so much, but Beibei doesn’t miss Eighth Uncle. Eighth Uncle has been busy, you know. Next time I have time, I’ll take you out to play.”
