When Mingxia turned around, Xiao Xiao ran excitedly towards her, "Mom, you’re so amazing! You saved that uncle!"
"Don’t say that, Mom didn’t help much, it was mostly the merit of this uncle here. Comrade, thanks to you for snatching the bag back!"
Although Mingxia saw that he had a stern face, he exuded an air of righteousness, especially while simply standing there, she felt an inexplicable pressure.
"It’s only right." The man’s voice was hoarse, with a deep and impressive magnetic quality.
Granny Wang was happy to see her chatting with the man and coughed lightly, smiling at Mingxia.
"Come, come, Xiao Xia, it’s such a coincidence today. Let me introduce you, this is my son, Cao Yuan, 38 years old this year, eight years older than you."
Mingxia was stunned, "This comrade is your son?"
Granny Wang was also quite surprised and pushed her son a bit, "Yes, he didn’t even tell me he was coming back, which gave me a big scare just now."
"Last week, Cao Yang (Granny Wang’s grandson) called me, saying you weren’t in good spirits, ate less, and didn’t like going out. I was worried, so I took leave to come back and check on you."
Hearing this, Granny Wang felt warm inside, "This child, worrying unnecessarily. It’s normal not to eat much when it’s hot. Was it worth coming back from Sichuan Province for this? I’m fine, doing very well. Let me introduce you to Mingxia, our new neighbor who just moved here. She came here alone with her daughter to sell boxed lunches, a very kind-hearted girl. I even had dinner at her place tonight!"
When Cao Yuan’s gaze shifted to Mingxia, she blushed embarrassingly.
"Ma’am, you’re too kind."
However, Cao Yuan’s focus was elsewhere, "Your spoken language is good, and your response earlier was also very nice."
Mingxia was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized he might be referring to when a foreigner asked her name and she answered Chinese, so she waved her hands somewhat flusteredly.
"That would be everyone’s subconscious reaction, after all. He lost his bag on Chinese soil, which is ironic, by the way, that thief!"
"He has already been taken to the Police Station by several brothers." This content belongs to NovelHub(.)net
Mingxia sighed in relief, "That’s good, that’s good, haha, Auntie, I’m really sorry for interrupting your digestion. Shall we go home?"
"No interruption, what interruption, without us going out, who would have thought my son would surprise me ? Haven’t you eaten yet? Come on, let’s go home, I’ll cook for you!"
Cao Yuan’s face flashed an unnatural smile, "Mom, let me cook instead, you should rest."
Granny Wang knew what he was thinking and gave him a stern look immediately.
"Being so formal, do you think my cooking tastes bad? You’re too honest. At other people’s homes, sons can eat whatever terrible cooking is served."
"Mom, I really don’t want to upset my stomach in the middle of the summer. Please, just rest a bit."
Their conversation didn’t exclude Mingxia and her daughter, Xiao Xiao, who listened with an innocent tilt of her head.
"So Grandma sought out my mom because she is bad at cooking?"
"Xiao Xiao, what are you saying? Quick, apologize to Grandma. Ma’am, about that, she—"
Unexpectedly, Granny Wang not only didn’t get mad but quickly admitted it.
"Yes, if your mom’s cooking didn’t smell so tempting every day, Grandma wouldn’t have approached you under the guise of borrowing money. Haha, honestly, my grandson is more reliable than his father; at least he never complains about my cooking, unlike you, hmm~"
