“I heard that she’s Youyou’s sister.” Shen Longyue glanced at his wife and said, “They do resemble each other a little, but Qianqian’s face is just a bit rounder.”

“Yeah. I think Mom seems to like her very much, too. She looked so happy chatting with her in the room just now.”

Shen Longue nodded his head with a smile when he heard that and looked at Ye Qianqian and Shen Zhilie, who were, at that moment, washing their hands in the kitchen. “It’s rare for Mom to take a liking to such a young lady.”

“Very rare indeed.” Mrs. Shen beamed at her husband and remarked, “Let’s wash our hands and get ready for dinner, too.”

With a smile, Shen Longyue stood up and offered his wife his hand. Mrs. Shen blushed a little, but reached out nonetheless and took the hand her husband offered.

Ye Qianqian and Shen Zhilie were soon done washing their hands and sat at the dining table. The more Nanny He watched the girl, the more she liked her. She said, “Qianqian, these are my signature dishes from my hometown. Do try them.”

The smile on Ye Qianqian’s face reached her eyes as she replied, “Sure. Thank you, Auntie He.”

“Nanny He, why don’t you sit and join us for dinner?” Shen Zhilie patted a stool beside him.

Nanny He looked overwhelmed by Shen Zhilie’s suggestion and quickly shook her head as she replied, “Oh no no no! Please don’t! Old Mrs. Shen won’t be happy if she sees that.”

Shen Zhilie understood her predicament and didn’t insist.

Ye Qianqian witnessed the exchange and began to feel that the old lady was becoming scarier by the moment. The old lady… did indeed look scary. Ye Qianqian recalled when the old lady had mentioned her having the sign of a short life, and she felt very unsettled.

When Nanny He served a bowl of rice to Ye Qianqian, Ye Qianqian felt a little ill at ease and said, “Grandma isn’t back yet. Are we not going to wait for her?”
