Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Mei kept feeling that these so-called relatives were a little strange. She could not say for sure what felt so wrong, but it was always better to be safe

than sorry. It was better to be more cautious. Moreover, the room in front of her was very small and could not accommodate so many of them. If Qiao Mei also entered, there would be even be any standing room left.

“Who is this?” Zheng Juan looked at Qiao Mei and asked curiously.

After all, Gao Lin was very well-dressed and his clothes looked expensive. It was inevitable that people would let their imagination run wild when such a man had a beautiful woman with him. Zheng Juan did not want to make any assumptions.

“Fourth Aunt-in-law, this is my grandniece,” Gao Lin explained.

“Oh! Your grandniece! Then you have to address me as Fourth Great-grandaunt!” Zheng Juan said excitedly.

Gao Lin nodded in agreement. Qiao Mei had no choice but to brace herself and address the woman as “Fourth Great-grandaunt.” After all, Gao Lin seemed to value blood relations very much, so she could not embarrass him in front of other people.

“Which branch of the Gao family is Gao Lin from?” Zheng Juan said as she looked at Gao Hai.

The Gao family was a very big family. When Gao Lin’s entire family left the country back then, Zheng Juan had not even married into the family yet. Zheng Juan only knew those Gao family relatives living in the country and did not know much about those overseas.

“He is part of the Gao family’s direct descendant lineage, as in those family members who are born of the legal wives. He’s my eldest brother’s child,” Gao Hai said excitedly.

Direct descendant? This meant that his family were the ones who went overseas back then! They were the original owners of this house! No one expected them to be back! This was amazing!

“Oh I see! Come! Gao Le! Come and greet him! This is your eldest cousin!” Zheng Juan urged.

Gao Le stood unwillingly beside Gao Lin and whispered, “Hello, Eldest Cousin.”

Gao Lin did not react. After all, he was not very familiar with these people. At his advanced age, it was awkward for him to have a cousin in her teens, but there was nothing he could do about it. It was all in accordance with the family hierarchy.

Feeling indignant, Gao Le pointed at Qiao Mei and said, “I’ve already greeted him, so shouldn’t she greet me too! She has to address me as Grandaunt!”

The corners of Qiao Mei’s mouth twitched slightly. Gao Le was younger than her and yet wanted to be addressed as Grandaunt. She had no fear that she might shorten her own lifespan!

Gao Lin could tell that Qiao Mei was unwilling to do it and was about to raise his objection, but he did not expect Qiao Mei to look at Gao Le sensibly and say, “Hello, Little GrandauntQ’

“Little Grandaunt” was not just a form of address based on seniority, but also an alternative nickname for a certain group of people. A long time ago, it was how people addressed rich men’s concubines.

“You! Who’s your little grandaunt! How can you say that!” Gao Le pointed at Qiao Mei and roared at her.

Qiao Mei immediately walked towards Gao Lin, as if she had not done anything. Gao Lin naturally stood in front of Qiao Mei to protect her. At the same time, he felt a little upset. He did not expect the remaining relatives of the Gao family to turn out like this. The child they brought up was actually so rude and ill-bred.

“I’m sorry, Gao Lin. My child is insensible. 1 hope you don’t mind,” Zheng Juan said as she covered Gao Le t s mouth.

“It’s fine,” Gao Lin said indifferently.

“When did you come back?” Gao Hai asked.

“It’s been about half a month,” Gao Lin said as he looked at Gao Hai.

“Then where have you been staying all this while? You’ve been back for so long but you haven’t contacted us!” Gao Hai said.

“l just arrived in Hu City today. I’ve been in the capital since I arrived,” Gao Lin said.

For Gao Lin to be able to live in the capital for so long, he must either have relatives there or have his own house in the capital. Gao Lin must be richer than they imagined.

“You’ve been on the move all day. Stay for a meal! Then you can have a good chat with your fourth uncle!” Zheng Juan said.

“Sure. I have a lot of questions for Fourth Uncle. Hu City has changed so much over the years,” Gao Lin said happily.

After Zheng Juan said that, she just kept staring at Qiao Mei and did not make any move to walk out of the door. Qiao Mei looked back at Zheng Juan. Gao Lin did not understand what Zheng Juan was trying to do, but Qiao Mei did. Zheng Juan did not want to pay for the groceries and was waiting for Qiao Mei to go with her!

“Fourth Great-grandaunt, don’t trouble yourself. Let’s go to a restaurant,” Qiao Mei said.

“Sure, sure, sure! That’s good too!” After saying that, Zheng Juan quickly went further into the room to get changed. She even asked Gao Le to go and change into nicer clothes as well.

Gao Lin only looked at them but did not say anything. He already guessed that

Gao Hai l s family must not be doing well all these years, so it was not surprising that they demonstrated such behavior..
