After being sassed by his stepson, Shen Mingzhu didn't get angry; instead, she was somewhat surprised.
Throughout this period, the stepson had always been taciturn, showing a refusal to communicate; on the contrary, his outburst now made him seem more innocent and lively, typical of a child.
"I've only moved in a few days ago, isn't it normal that I'm not familiar with everything here? They've been living here for many years, even over a decade, of course, they're more familiar than I am."
This explanation was logically sound, leaving Pei Ziheng speechless.
"Let's go, it's time for dinner. If we don't hurry, all the dishes will be eaten by others."
Facing Shen Mingzhu's outstretched hand, Pei Ziheng very reluctantly placed his own small paw into hers.
These days, attending a banquet was very casual; just find an empty seat and start eating once all seats are taken.
