Mo Shu exchanged a glance with Yu Siqiao, and they both greeted, "Good day, grandpas and grandmas."
Granny Sha was even more delighted, saying, "Look at them, so well-mannered."
Granny Sha’s boasting was almost spilling over in front of everyone.
One by one, the old friends who were all aware of her personality burst into hearty laughter upon hearing her, "Look at you showing off!"
"But they are indeed very good-looking!"
"Your granddaughter is simply like a Heavenly Immortal, and your future grandson-in-law is also very handsome—an absolute match made in heaven!" Updates are released by ⓝovelFire.net
"What match made in heaven? This is what you call a talented man and a beautiful lady—a natural pairing!"
"But why does this young man look so familiar to me?" an elderly person mused, scrutinizing Yu Siqiao with growing curiosity, "I feel as if I’ve seen him somewhere before."
"Yes, yes, yes, I thought I was the only one who felt that way; you too, huh?" Then, turning to Granny Sha, he asked, "What’s the name of your future grandson-in-law?"
Granny Sha turned her head, looked toward Yu Siqiao with a smiling face, yet remained silent.
Yu Siqiao immediately got the hint and introduced himself, "I am Yu Siqiao."
"Ah," an elder exclaimed with sudden realization, "It’s you!"
Another elderly person also seemed very happy, "Oh my, no wonder he looked so familiar!"
"Exactly, exactly, my grandson idolizes him daily. He says he rarely appears on the news, and when he finally gets featured in a magazine, he nearly worships that magazine!"
"Aye, our grandson too, always talks about him. Just heard he’s a bit temperamental, right?"
"Our granddaughter too, she’s absolutely smitten with him, but we’ve long heard that he already has a fiancée—apparently both the fiancé and fiancée have difficult temperaments."
Where it was just tricky, really.
It was like two fiends had joined forces!
Their reputations, as bad as could be!
Yet, everyone knew these stories; none dared to speak them aloud.
Granny Sha was always low-key, not one to show off, now surrounded by praises, particularly for her future grandson-in-law, her heart swelled with joy.
Seeing the elder so happy, Mo Shu took the opportunity to say, "Grandma, Si Qiao also brought you a special birthday gift."
Yu Siqiao felt a certain complexity in his heart.
This was the first time Mo Shu had called him by his name without the surname.
Sure enough, Grandma’s face lit up with surprise, "What wonderful thing have you brought me?"
Hearing this, Yu Chen, who was standing behind Yu Siqiao, immediately took the birthday gift and handed it over to Yu Siqiao.
Yu Siqiao took it and said, "Knowing you like calligraphy and paintings, I happened to see this Pine Crane Longevity Painting in my father’s study and thought I’d bring it to you, hoping you’ll like it."
As he finished speaking, a ripple of shock went through the crowd.
Yu Siqiao’s father was none other than Yu Jinggang!
Yu Siqiao’s excellence was naturally tied to his father, and to the older generation, Yu Jinggang was the child that others envied.
As the previous generation’s helmsman of the Yu Group, anything that Yu Jinggang would hang in his study had to be of considerable value!
Granny Sha, filled with anticipation, opened it to find a somewhat yellowed piece of paper that exuded a sense of history.
Unfolding it, there was the Pine Crane Longevity Painting that immediately caught everyone’s eyes.
Tall pines, robust in strength, divine cranes standing on one leg, soaring with outstretched wings, or perched atop marvelous rocks, robust calligraphy adding much flavor to this Blessing Cranes Longevity Painting.
The connoisseurs in the room could scarcely contain their excitement, exclaiming, "This is... this is the Pine Crane Longevity Painting!"
