Xue Manor
"Grandma!" Mei Lin's loud voice echoed into the halls of Xue Manor, surprising the elder lady sitting alone on the living room.
Turning her head, Grandma Xue was face to face with her granddaughter. Smiling, she replied, "Good Morning, dear. You are here early."
"Morning!" Mei Lin added, "I wanted to talk to Father."
Seeing the older man ambling with his cane towards them, Mei Lin waved her hands and greeted, "Hi, Grandpa! Good Morning."
The two elders were surprised at Mei Lin's highly enthusiastic greetings. She had never behaved like this in front of them before; never this carefree and wild like a teenager.
Grandma Xue and Grandpa Xue immediately doted on her, dragging the painter to eat with them as the father and son would probably take more hours to sleep in. As usually, Mei Lin accepted the offered food into her plate. Who would deny free and delicious food?
