The elderly woman known as Grandma Zhang, who was seated in the center of the room, seemed reluctant to speak. She cast a fierce glance at Lin Xiaotian, then coldly said, "Zimo, come sit down quickly and join us for the meal. You must be hungry after such a long journey and driving back yourself, Grandma Zhang has personally prepared some of your favorite dishes."
No one paid any attention to Lin Xiaotian.
"Okay, Grandma Zhang, thank you for your hard work," Li Zimo nodded in agreement.
Then, Li Zimo set his bag aside and, taking Lin Xiaotian's hand, sat down beside Grandma Zhang.
After that, everyone ate in silence. Although they were all sitting together, the room was very quiet as they began their meal.
Lin Xiaotian always felt something was strange, but in front of so many people, especially those whom Li Zimo cared about, she said nothing and quietly ate her meal.
After the meal,
Grandma Zhang expressed a wish to speak with Li Zimo alone, and she called him away.
