"Hehe... Mom... this is Shanshan..." Tianxin quickly pushed Chen Shanshan, who was standing behind her, to the front.
"Um... hello, auntie..." Chen Shanshan smiled and greeted Tianxin's mom warmly.
"Is that Shanshan..." Tianxin's mom mellowed, giving Chen Shanshan a smile and said in a kind voice: "Long time no see, you've grown up so much."
"Yeah, yeah." Chen Shanshan nodded repeatedly.
"Come on in." Tianxin's mom turned around and led them into the living room.
Tianxin made a silly face at Chen Shanshan and followed her mom.
While sitting on the living room couch, Tianxin's mother served some snacks to Chen Shanshan. They made small talk and she asked about Shanshan's parents' well-being, but soon after, the entire living room fell silent.
Chen Shanshan held her teacup, looked at the snacks and kept her silence.
Tianxin, however, was nervously bowing her head, her hands sweating profusely, not knowing what to say next.
