"Xia Ning, you've grown into a fine lady."
Grandma Peng spoke, her eyes looking at the girl in front of her. Ning smiles widely at her before she leans toward the old lady's ears.
"Who are they?"
She asks, wanting to get to know who the people were that terrorized her and pointed a gun at her face.
Grandma Peng smiles before she grabs Ning's shoulder and faces the girl towards the two behind her, who keep their guards up.
"Meixiu, Weimin, don't scare the poor girl."
Grandma Peng said, shaking her head as Meixiu looked at Weimin, to which the man shrugged his shoulders.
"Anyways, Ning, this is Meixiu and Weimin."
Grandma Peng said, motioning towards Meixiu and Weimin. The young lady bows at them and offers her hand.
"Nice meeting you two."
She said this as Weimin smiles and shakes her hand for him and Meixiu.
"My friend doesn't usually accept handshakes from strangers."
Ning looks at Meixiu before she scoffs secretly, nodding her head in the process and removing her hands from Weimin's.
Grandma Peng shakes her head, walks in Meixiu's direction, and takes a hold of the girl's arm.
"Meixiu, take care of Xiaohui and Xiaowen, okay?"
Meixiu smiles at Grandma Peng and nods her head before looking at Weimin.
"Can you take the bags and guide them? I'll just take a quick call."
The man nodded before taking the bags from Meixiu's hand and looking at Nung for direction.
The girl looks at the old lady as she smiles widely and clings to her arms, dragging the woman away from the car.

"You should have dropped by the office so I could say goodbye to grandma."
Xiaohui said, speaking through her phone as she dropped the papers on the table and looked out of the window in her office.
Her head nodded in understanding as Meixiu explained the situation earlier, when they were still in the house.
Xiaohui couldn't help but sigh in the process, not having time to say her farewell to her grandmother, who helped her the most when she was a child.
"It's fine; we can visit her on weekends, right?"
Xiaohui asks, her eyes looking out of the window with hope that Meixiu will agree with her proposal.
Her mouth curled into a smile upon hearing Meixiu hum, and she agreed to her idea, wanting to spend time with Xiaohui as well.
"Ok, I've got to go because Ms. Zhong arranged a late lunch meeting with me."
Xiaohui puts down the phone as she hears Meixiu's last words before she stands up from her chair, grabbing her bag on top in the process.
She grabs her bag on top of her desk and puts her phone inside, tidying up her space before opening the door, only to be greeted by Qiang standing in front of her door.
She scoffs before stepping to her side, but Qiang blocks her path swiftly.
Xiaohui looks up at him and crosses her arms over her chest.
"Move."
"No! You'll have to pay for what you did to me!"
Qiang yelled, his eyes piercing towards the smaller girl in front, but Xiaohui's not having any of his desired fantasies.
"It's not my fault."
Xiaohui simply says this as she steps aside to walk away from the guy, closing her door in the process.
Qiang scoffs and goes towards Xiaohui. Seeing that the girl was near the elevator, he quickens his step with the clutch, hitting the floor a little too hard.
"You bitch should go to hell!"
Qiang raised the clutch and was about to hit the back of Xiaohui's head when the elevator opened, revealing Wenqian standing in the middle.
The girl in the elevator has her eyes widen as she sees Qiang about to attack Xiaohui, making her step forward and glare at him.
"Mr. Zheng! What are you thinking!?"
She asks, her voice raising as she spreads her arms around to protect Xiaohui.
Wenqian knew what Meixiu could do with just her voice or a snap of her fingers.
Being the current mob boss of the notorious mafia clan and the next successor of the most powerful family clan in the whole country.
It's like Meixiu has everyone under her fingers; with just a word from her mouth, they will crumple and comply in front of her.
Her eyes shake in the process, not wanting to see the wrath of Meixiu.
Qiang puts his clutch down before scoffing, glaring at Wenqian before looking to the side to eye Xiaohui.
"I'll make sure to burn you and Meixiu down on the ground someday."
He said this before walking away, limping in the process. Xiaohui scoffs before she looks at Wenqian and quickly kneels down.
The girl looks at her before grabbing her arms, wanting to stand her up.
"I'm so sorry that you have to witness that, Ms. Zhong."
Xiaohui said, her head coming into contact with the floor. Wenqian sighs before she removes her hands from Xiaohui's arms.
"It's alright, Ms. Zheng; it's not your fault."
Wenqian said, her hand quickly coming into contact with Xiaohui's shoulder.
Xiaohui looks up before standing up, not wanting to make Wenqiang feel a little uncomfortable, as the girl has told her she doesn't want to be overly respected just because of her position.
"I apologize for his behavior."
"You don't have to; he won't be able to hurt me."
Wenqian said, her eyes going up and down Xiaohui's body. The girl looks down at her body and furrows her eyebrows, getting a little confused about why Wenqian looks at her.
"Are you ok?"
Wenqian spoke, not seeing any bruises around her body as her eyes revealed an emotion of relief.
Xiaohui looks at her and smiles widely, assuring the girl that she's alright and didn't have bruises thanks to Wenqian getting between the fights on time.
She couldn't help but feel happy that she is close to Wenqian—almost the same relationship she has with Lijuan, but business is involved.
Wenqian, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel the joy overflowing through her body, as she's already close to the successor of the Ren family's wife.
She couldn't help but feel excited about what might happen to her in the future, as she's on the good side of a powerful person at the moment.

Ning looked between Meixiu and Weimin as the two downed the bowl in front of them. Her eyes looked down on her bowl, and she couldn't help but feel a little full just by watching the two eat.
Her eyes went towards Grandma Peng, who is sitting down beside her, before she put down her chopsticks, making the three look at her in confusion.
"Are you full already?"
Grandma Peng asks, her chopsticks coming into contact with the rice on the bowl as she picks up a piece for her to eat.
Ning smiles at her before she shakes her head, encouraging the two to continue eating the foods on her plate.
The young lady leans towards Grandma Peng and whispers something that causes the old lady to giggle.
"I feel full just looking at them; do they eat like that?"
Grandma Peng glances at Meixiu and Weimin, seeing that the two eat like there's no tomorrow or as if they are going to die later.
Grandma Peng looks at Ning and shakes her head, grabbing another set of compact rice with her chopsticks.
"Your cooking might be amazing for them to be like that."
"Are you sure, Grandma? I feel like they starved earlier."
