"I think he did." Li Long Hua replied and tried to see his Elder Li's face but from the place where he was, he couldn't point a finger to what kind of expression Li Huian was having. Thus he waited silently and brought the old woman to the entrance.
Li Lian held Li Jun Wei's hand all the time and perhaps because Li Jun Wei was beside her, no one dared to come close to them or questioned the woman beside him even though they almost died of curiosity. She trailed her eyes around the places, seeing the famous people out of the whole country gathering around and also some foreigners actor and actress that she had only seen in movies.
"Should we meet grandfather and grandmother, first?" Li Jun Wei questioned to Li Lian. She smiled back at his thoughtfulness. He must have known how nervous she was now and didn't want to surprise her suddenly, asking for her confirmation and waited until she felt comfortable.
"Of course, let us go greet grandfather and grandmother first." She said and paused. "What should I call them though? Would calling them grandfather and grandmother be a little too sudden?" In her past relationship with He Chang Min, she was easily disliked by his family for many reasons, main being that she was a lost child who had just been found. They all were concerned about her background and her poor etiquette. At her first meeting with He Chang Min's family, his parents kept on picking every smallest mistake that she made. The He Family wasn't even a quarter large as Li Family, however, they were very strict to her, how stricter would Li Family be? She didn't want to make a single mistake, especially as they were Li Jun Wei's family, her husband's family. Even though her mind knew worrying wouldn't do anything well, when the thought passed to her mind her heart grew worried again.
"You do not need to worry." Li Jun Wei spoked gently, reaching out his hand he rubbed her forehead softly. "My grandparents are very kind, they wouldn't mind whatever way you call them. Instead, they will like it if you call them that way." Perhaps Li Jun Wei said it for her sake, nevertheless, his words supported her gently. She prepared herself with some basic conversations and greetings that she would do with his family over her mind, hoping she could do it perfectly as it was Li Jun Wei's family. She didn't want to make them dislike her or make a bad impression in their first meeting. At that point, they walked near the hallways that lead to a tall circular staircase which was vacant from other guests.
"Jun Wei, good evening it's been a long time." Li Lian heard a man's voice coming behind them and turned her head, seeing the man that the women in the hall called to be Wang Cooperation's CEO. Seeing the familiar face, Li Jun Wei gave a smile. To his smile, Li Lian felt that it was rare for him to show such a friendly smile
"Li Lei," Li Jun Wei greeted. "Yes, it's been a long time, since three years ago I guessed? You went to another country at that time. How are the elders Wang?"
"They are both in good health." Wang Li Lei replied with a smile. Sparing a little glance at Li Lian, the man only bowed with an almost non-existent smile set in between his lips. "You must be, Mrs. Li, nice to meet you."
When Wang Li Lei called him by Mrs. Li she felt a ticklish feeling over her ears. Her cheeks reddened very slightly. The words stayed on her heart, making her delighted. "Likewise." She replied back to the man's bow and from behind Li Xiao Chen who was covered with seas of women finally made his way over to chase the two and stood next to them. Wang Li Lei turned his face a little and the two locked eyes. "Ah! Li Lei!" Xiao Chen spread his arm for a hug to Wang Li Lei for the man to avoid his embrace with a swift movement.
Keeping both his hand on airs, Li Xiao hen puckered his lips. "Aren't you too cold?" Wang Li Lei swept his gaze faintly not replying to his questions seeming not to be willing to answer his words.
"That's right, I forgot something, Li Lei congratulation on your engagement." Li Jun Wei spoke again with the gentle tone of an older brother that he often used while talking to Li Xiao Chen.
"You have heard it?" Wang Li Lei kept a smile as he saw Li Jun Wei's omniscient expression. "As expected of you. I will be going first then, good night." Wang Li Lei excuse himself, turning his back to the hall and Li Xiao Chen also silently turn his back to follow his lead only for Li Jun Wei to hold his shoulder firmly. "Where are you going?"
Li Xiao Chen gave an awkward smile, scratching his cheek with his finger he avoided looking at his brother gaze with all his might. "Just that, uh- I want to talk more with Li Lei." He made up an empty excuse. His grandfather and grandmother had been forcing him to go on an arranger marriage and even though he had used hundreds of excuses he could come up to the point he felt his mouth swollen each time he met his grandparents. Although he knew that this would happen if he met his grandparents, he still couldn't keep down his worry and curiosity over how his sister in law would be accepted in the family.
"You can do that later we will be going to meet grandmother and grandfather now." Li Xiao Chen instantly shook his head deliberately. "No! I uh- I can greet them later." His words made Li Jun Wei to narrow his eyes coldly. "I never remember to raise you that way." Li Jun Wei uttered his cold tone for the Koi Fish to puckered his lips before turning silent. Seeing Li Xiao Chen falling short with his words, Li Lian laughed and patted his shoulder.
"Was that your friend, Jun Wei?" asked Li Lian as they ascended the stairs, trying to distract herself from her anxious thought.
"Yes, because our family has a good relationship with them, he's also my childhood friend." Li Jun Wei collected reply was responded with an excited nod by Li Xiao Chen. "Yes! Well although speaking of a childhood friend, Li Lei was closer in age with me. But these days he seems to be very busy."
"Perhaps he's just ignoring you?" Li Lian teased.
"There's no way!" Li Xiao Chen rebuked but fell silent after his reply. "But that also sounds somewhat correct."
