Everybody was gathered around the table, eating hot pot when Shi Qin returned to Peace Manor.
What initially felt like a bleak situation to him was suddenly traded for a lively, enjoyable experience. His mother did not expect life to be so entertaining here.
Yao Jiamu was the first one to rise from his seat. "I see, Shi Qin's mom has arrived." Shi Qin had already informed them that he'd bring his mother along, which explains why he wasn't surprised by her suddenly turning up. Instead, he waved at her as a gesture for them to join their meal.
The rest of the men all stood up. With testosterone-filled voices, they greeted her in unison: "Welcome, Shi Qin's mom!" Of everyone present, Shi Qin's mother was the one who was the most shocked. These men were serious and surprisingly respectful when they greeted her, even though she was only a regular human being.
