Grandpa Ji immediately glared at them: "You have the nerve to criticize him? How were you when you were young? I think Si Lin inherited that from you! His grandmother and I are not at all dull-witted!"

Ji Chen and Zhang Jin almost blushed from the comments.

I'm very sorry.

They were quite dull when they were young.

Perhaps their son inherited this trait from them.

Just then, the butler's phone rang.

The housekeeper quickly answered the call, and his eyes lit up.

Immediately tell Grandpa Ji and the others, "The people at the gate say the young master and young mistress have arrived, and the cars are parked at the main gate!"

Grandpa Ji was so happy that he immediately stood up again.

He also reminded the housekeeper, "Don't call him that in front of Mianmian. That brat hasn't even proposed yet. Anyway, don't scare Mianmian."

Ji Chen and Zhang Jin were also worried that their daughter-in-law would be frightened on her first visit, so they spoke seriously: "Anyway, everyone should be careful."

Although the old house's housekeeper and servants had been instructed many times, they still nodded vigorously.

It means I understand and will definitely pay attention.

The Ji family's old house is a family-owned residence with several courtyards. It not only covers a large area but is also extremely antique.

Before the car even reached the old house, Meng Mian, sitting in the back seat, saw the main gate of the old house wide open.

You can't see anything else because there's a huge screen wall behind the main gate blocking your view.

Because it is an ancestral home, it is usually only repaired, and has never been renovated.

The thresholds are extremely high, so cars naturally can't drive in.

Cars can only be parked at the main gate.

Ji Silin didn't let Meng Mian get out of the car first; he got out first and then led Meng Mian out.

The things that Tao Bo prepared were carried by a bodyguard who followed behind Meng Mian and Ji Silin.

The other bodyguards didn't go inside; they stayed at the main entrance.

Ji Silin led Meng Mian through the main gate and they entered.

Meng Mian couldn't help but look up at the extremely magnificent gate of the ancient building.

After passing the screen wall, Meng Mian saw that the main gate of the ceremonial gate and the main gate of the main hall in the second courtyard were wide open.

Bodyguards were stationed in each courtyard.

Meng Mian is not someone who is completely ignorant.

The fact that the main gate is wide open shows how much importance is placed on the visitors.

Even before meeting Grandpa Ji and the others, Meng Mian was even more convinced of what Ji Silin had said about her grandparents and parents liking her very much.

This naturally made them even more convinced that Ji Silin's family genuinely didn't care whether she was from the countryside or not.

After passing through the ceremonial gate and entering the second courtyard, Zhang Jin, who was in the main hall, rushed out, her face full of loving kindness:

"Is that Mianmian? You're so well-behaved, even better than in the photos."

Zhang Jin held Meng Mian's hand, extremely satisfied.

Putting aside how clean and beautiful her future daughter-in-law is, just her obedient nature makes her like her no matter how she looks at her.

At the same time, I also thought, how could any child be so lovable?

Ji Silin introduced Meng Mian softly, "This is my mother."

Meng Mian felt inexplicably nervous again.

The lady in front of him was dressed very formally and was very well-maintained. She didn't look like Ji Silin's mother at all, but rather like Ji Silin's older sister.

"Hello, Auntie," Meng Mian greeted immediately.

"Great, great, great!" Zhang Jin was so happy she couldn't stop smiling, and she grabbed Meng Mian's hand. "Come on, let's go inside quickly, Si Lin's grandfather and your uncle are already waiting for you."

No sooner had Zhang Jin finished speaking than Meng Mian heard—

"Help me out of here!" Old Master Ji was frantic in the main hall, but the high threshold was a bit difficult for him to step over.

Ji Chen was also anxious; he was already trying his best to support his father.

Ji Silin then introduced, "That's my grandfather and my father."

Meng Mian thought the old man was adorable, but she still quickened her pace, almost running, and arrived at the entrance of the main hall with Ji Silin and Zhang Jin.

"Hello Grandpa Ji, hello Uncle," Meng Mian greeted them obediently again.

He quickly said, "You don't need to come out."

"Alright, alright, alright." Old Master Ji grinned from ear to ear. "We won't go out, we won't go out. Mianmian, come in quickly."

Her voice was so kind and gentle.

Ji Chen was always gentle, and while he didn't laugh like his father, he wasn't much better off.

Anyway, I was really happy.

Now that everyone is inside, there's no need to help his father out.

"Mianmian," Old Master Ji said kindly, "Why call me Grandpa Ji? Drop the 'Ji' and just call me Grandpa, okay?"

Meng Mian noticed that all three of them were dressed very formally and elegantly, which showed how much they valued their first meeting with her.

Looking down at herself, dressed so simply, she couldn't help but glance at Ji Silin.

Ji Silin said it wasn't necessary.

Oh well, she's just going along with it anyway.

It wasn't about changing how you address someone as "Mom" or "Dad," but simply removing the character "Ji," and Meng Mian obediently nodded.

Zhen dropped the "Ji" radical and called out, "Grandpa."

"Hey! Hey!" Old Master Ji was even happier.

Ya Hua burst out laughing.

Look how well-behaved his granddaughter-in-law is.

Ji Silin didn't notice that Meng Mian glanced at him.

He turned around and took the things from the bodyguard's hands.

Then, without any expression, he handed it to his grandparents and parents, saying, "Mianmian bought this."

This high-end-looking gift box was placed next to Meng Mian's seat on the way here.

Meng Mian didn't care.

Only when Ji Silin handed it to Grandpa Ji and the others did Meng Mian subconsciously glance at it.

Upon seeing the words "Centennial Pu'er", "Songpinhao", and "Red Label" written on it...

Meng Mian's face instantly felt hot.

It's obvious that Ji Silin bought it.

Everyone knows that this tea has become an antique, existing only in the hands of top collectors and not circulating in the market.

Where will she buy it?

As soon as the three of them saw the words on it, they knew that it wasn't actually Meng Mian who bought it.

Moreover, this tea was originally one of the collectibles that Old Master Ji gave to Ji Silin.

The three of them naturally understood even better.

However, Old Master Ji knew what kind of person his grandson was, and Ji Chen and Zhang Jin also knew what kind of person their son was.

If their family is so eager to see Meng Mian, then their grandson/son would never think that Meng Mian should bring anything to their house.

It must have been Meng Mian herself who felt she needed to buy something, which is why their son/grandson packaged these tea canisters into a gift box and sent them over as if they were something Meng Mian had bought.

Isn't it still Meng Mian who has this intention?

They don't care about the material itself, whether it's valuable or not; they only care about whether the person has the intention.

It's obvious that Mianmian has this intention!

What a wonderful child!

So well-behaved and sensible!

The three of them were overjoyed: "We're the ones who wanted to see you, Mianmian, and you even bought us things! We love them, Mianmian, you're so thoughtful!"

Meng Mian's face flushed again.

How can you still lie through your teeth?

She didn't believe that the three big shots couldn't tell that the tea wasn't bought by her at all.

But she could also truly feel and see how much Grandpa Ji and the others liked her.
