"What's with all this commotion!" Elder Xia's profound voice rung in the dinning hall.
Xia Lihua looked up and saw her grandfather descending down the stairs accompanied by butler He.
Xia Tianlin immediately let go of Xia Lihua's wrist and bowed down politely. "Father, you are here."
Xia Lihua smirked seeing the change in her father's expression in front of elder Xia.
"Grandfather, you asked me to come here today." She slightly bowed down to show her respect to her grandfather.
"I'm truly pleased by your arrival!" exclaimed Grandfather Xia as he took his seat at the head of the table. He added, "Please sit down, and I'll request the maids to bring the food."
Xia Lihua and Xia Tianlin sat down side by side, maintaining a facade of normalcy as if nothing was wrong between them.
"Your uncle and aunt will come soon. Let's wait for them." Grandfather Xia said as the maids set down the cutleries on the table.
