Lin Jiage took out his phone, took a glance at the screen, and answered the call.
He didn’t avoid Shi Yao’s gaze. Instead, he said “What’s Wrong?”To her face, and then he said “Oh, I understand”before hanging up, turning to Shi Yao, he said, “We need to go to Beijing Grand Hotel right now. Grandpa and the others are waiting for us there for lunch.”
“Grandpa?”Shi Yao asked in astonishment, “Why is Grandpa suddenly calling us for lunch?”
“I’m not too sure…”Lin Jiage was similarly perplexed. However, he didn’t think too much into it, so he quickly added, “It’s possible that Grandpa hasn’t seen us in a long time, and he just wants to see us…”
Shi Yao’s favorite dishes were all at Beijing Grand Hotel, so she didn’t even think about it. With a face full of agreement, she replied with a ‘un-un’before walking over to the car.
Before getting into the car, Shi Yao seemed to have thought of something, she turned to Lin jiage and said happily, “Fortunately, I had an allergic reaction yesterday. If it were today, Grandpa Lin would surely ask me a lot of questions. Fortunately, I’m wearing a long dress today, so Grandpa Lin would have to Grumble about the injury on my leg for a very long time…”
Lin Jiage caught a glimpse of Shi Yao’s face, which was as if she had hit the jackpot, and his face softened a little.
He didn’t say a word as he helped her open the car door.
After she sat down, he walked around the front of the car and got in. After which, he fastened their seatbelts and stepped on the accelerator, driving the car to Beijing Hotel with ease.
The hospital wasn’t too far away from Beijing Hotel, so it took about twenty minutes for the car to reach its destination.
The car had just stopped a moment ago, but a moment later, a waiter walked over and helped to open the car door.
Lin Jiage thought that it would save him some trouble, so he didn’t park the car. Instead, he tossed the car keys to the doorman, and under the guidance of the waiter, he and Shi Yao headed upstairs.
It was only when they arrived at the entrance of the private room that Lin Jiage and Shi Yao realized that their grandfather had booked a large private room that could accommodate more than twenty people.
Could it be that grandfather had invited someone else over for a meal
Shi Yao caught up to Lin Jiage, and just as she was about to ask the question in her mind, the door to the private room was pushed open by the waiter.
Without waiting for Lin Jiage to reply, Shi Yao raised her head and looked into the room.
Other than Grandpa Lin and Auntie Sun, there were also Lin Jiage’s parents, uncles, and Aunties, as well as Sister Jiayi. On top of that, there were also Shi Yao’s parents, as well as Shi Yao’s aunt, and Auntie’s son, in other words, Shi Yao’s cousin, Gu Nanqiang.
This… What’s going on? Why are the adults of both families here?
Shi Yao turned her head to look at Lin Jiage, who was standing beside her, in a daze.
Just like her, Lin Jiage had a perplexed look on his face as well. However, compared to the expression on her face, his expression was still rather calm.
“Jiage, Yaoyao, you’re here?”It was Lin Jiage’s aunt, Lin Guinan, who spoke up. Seeing that Shi Yao and Lin Jiage were still standing at the entrance, she pointed to the two remaining seats on the table, she urged them, “Come in and have a seat. Why are you standing at the entrance?”
Shi Yao and Lin Jiage entered the room one after another.
Lin jiage only greeted Shi Yao’s parents, aunt, and Gu Nanqiang politely.
On the other hand, Shi Yao obediently called out to everyone in the room, “Grandpa Lin, Uncle Lin, Auntie Lin, Aunt Lin, Uncle Lin, SIS Jiayi, and dad, Mom, aunt, Nanqiang…”
