Gu Bei looked at Hai Hua and Shi Nian and said, “We watched that movie on our way here yesterday. We didn’t know, at the time, the poor child was really our daughter. Now that I think about it, my heart aches.”

So saying, he reached out and thumped his chest right over his heart. “This small town gave my daughter her last bit of stability. The people here are our benefactors. Let me know when you two have decided which development projects to invest in. No matter what it is, you have to bring me on board. I want to contribute to this town which had taken care of my daughter for so many years. ”

Hai Hua had been worrying about her aunt’s daughter since she came to this town; she hadn’t been in the mood to look at the town projects. She looked at Shi Nian, hoping he had more news to give on that matter.

Shi Nian stated, “We’ve talked to the town’s leaders and trade representatives. We’ve pretty much figured out the basic problems. This place had been developed before, so the foundation is pretty good. And coupled with the simple and honest folks here, this town definitely has great prospects. If Mr.

Gu is willing to invest, that would naturally be fantastic.”

Gu Bei frowned and stared at Shi Nian. “You’re Yun Nan’s husband?” he asked.

Shi Nian nodded. “Yes, we’re married. We just haven’t had a wedding yet, so our family and friends don’t all fully know about it yet.”

Gu Bei nodded, but that wasn’t what he was asking. “Yun Nan is Xiao He’s adopted daughter, so she’s our granddaughter. She has to call us Grandpa and Grandma! What did you just call me? Mr. Gu, was it?”

‘ What? Oh! Shi Nian came to a sudden realization. He rubbed the back of his neck and gave a silly chuckle, feeling quite embarrassed.

Hai Hua jabbed Shi Nian with her elbow. “Hurry up and call him Grandpa! Do you want Yun Nan to deny you as her husband?”

Shi Nian hurriedly shook his head and said, “Anything you say, Grandpa.”

Gu Bei’s expression softened slightly. Hai Hua laughed and teased, “Then that makes me one generation above you! Shi Nian, you have to call me aunt now!

Hahahahaha!”

“Sure, Auntie!” Shi Nian easily acquiesced.

Hai Hua was stunned and recoiled as if she was burnt. “No, no, don’t call me that! I’m not used to it; that makes me sound so old!”

Xiang Yang, Fang Xi, and Shi Xiu, who were listening in on the whole conversation, laughed their heads off. They didn’t expect Hai Hua to be so playful yet inexperienced.

Yun Nan made a tableful of dishes, and Shi Nian considerately followed behind her to help. When they were further away from Chen Yao, he whispered, “Hey, don’t tell me you want to abandon me because you now have a bigger backer?”

Yun Nan was dumbfounded before she chuckled, “Thanks for reminding me! I’ll have to think about it.”

Shi Nian glared at her. “Don’t even think about it! We had an agreement! I’m your backer! ”

Yun Nan was very amused. Seeing that she wasn’t taking his words seriously enough, Shi Nian looked around before he pressed close to her. Yun Nan suddenly thought of that kiss and blushed before quickly turning away to serve the dishes.

Shi Nian grinned smugly. Chen Yao saw their little exchange and smiled at

them lovingly. When she looked at them, it was as if she could see her daughter and son-in-law, whom she had never met.

Yun Nan invited Gu Bei and Chen Yao to take their seats and requested Ye Kun, Fang Xi, Xiang Yang, Shi Xiu, and Hai Hua to eat with them. Under the youngsters’ lead, everyone happily chatted, and the atmosphere finally became cheerful.

Yun Nan then poured two cups of wine for the two elders and knelt before them respectfully. Chen Yao subconsciously went to get her up, but Gu Bei stopped her. He understood Yun Nan’s intentions.

Shi Nian also understood. He knelt beside Yun Nan, and the two respectfully kowtowed thrice to Gu Bei and Chen Yao. Yun Nan stated, “Grandpa, Grandma, I’m kowtowing to you on behalf of Mom and Dad! Today, my parents’ lifelong wish has finally come true. From now on, I’ll be filial to you both on their behalf! ”

Yun Nan kowtowed thrice more with tears in her eyes, and Shi Nian accompanied her without saying a word. As soon as Yun Nan finished her bows, Chen Yao rushed to help her up, and Gu Bei helped Shi Nian up.

Not wanting them to feel sad again, Hai Hua took the lead to congratulate them. Everyone sat down at the table and raised their glasses in toast. With Shi Xiu there, the atmosphere abruptly became lively.

Shi Xiu bit her chopsticks and tentatively asked Chen Yao, “You’re my sister-in-law’s grandmother, so can I call you Grandma as well?” Chen Yao beamed at her and answered, “Of course you can!” “Grandma!” Shi Xiu immediately called out.

“Yes, sweetie?” Chen Yao replied with a bright smile.

“Grandma, you have to try Yun Nan’s cooking! The food she makes is delicious!” Shi Xiu urged and stretched out her arm to put some food into Chen Yao’s bowl.

Shi Xiu turned around and called out, “Grandpa! Try this braised fish. I guarantee it’s the best fish you’ve ever eaten!”

Hai Hua chuckled, “Aren’t you exaggerating a little too much? Even Yun Nan doesn’t dare to say that.”

Shi Xiu stage-whispered, “That’s where you’re wrong. You haven’t taken into account the emotional aspect of this dish. No matter how many fish Grandpa has eaten, this is the only one made by Yun Nan.”

When they heard this, Gu Bei and Chen Yao repeatedly nodded and unanimously took another piece of fish..
