The most important dinner preparations were finally completed. Huang Yuyan joined the group in the living area. She already changed into her dinner outfit which was a long elegant dress. It looked a little too formal for the occasion. She was excited and anxious to present a good impression to the Long family.
But as soon as she saw her youngest son, she cried out in worry. "Son, you look like a skeleton! This can't go on. I'll be sending meals to you starting tomorrow. You'll also take home all of the leftovers tonight."
"Mom, I'm fine," Jin Chonglin replied.
The group continued to chat until late afternoon. Finally, they heard several footsteps. They all turned to look. Jin Liwei was leading several people.
"There you are, Xiulan my girl, Liwei my boy!" Grandpa Lu's voice boomed as he smacked his thighs with his palms before standing up to greet the new arrivals. "What took you so long? I want to know! I have been waiting so long for you that I almost fell asleep!"
