Basil Jaak was taken aback at first, then began sizing up the two of them.
Although the old lady was now full of white hair and her face was covered with caterpillar-like wrinkles, Basil Jaak could still see similarities between her and Yetta Astir in the subtleties of her mouth and eyes. He guessed that the old lady must have been a highly charming beauty decades ago.
"Young man, I didn't realize you and Yetta knew each other so well, I was about to introduce you two." The old lady, with a kind smile on her face, led Yetta to Basil Jaak and said cheerfully.
"Who's close with him!" Yetta pouted disapprovingly.
Basil Jaak waved dismissively, not being petty with her, and smiled at the old lady: "Ma'am, if I had known you have a granddaughter who is the bureau chief, I wouldn't have had to put any effort. I could have depended on you."
