As the car prepared to depart, Gao Ming poked his head out of the window, intending to bid his grandmother farewell. However, he found that she had already walked away, cradling Su Le in her arms, leaving him with nothing but her retreating figure.
He awkwardly retreated back into the car, not daring to strike up a casual conversation with Su Bing. Instead, he turned to Su Li and said with a hint of frustration, "I can't tell anymore, brother, whether she's my grandmother or Lele's..."
