"This is?"
Zhao Zinan nodded in Yan Rushui's direction, and Yan Rushui's scalp immediately turned numb. She had been targeted.
Just as Yan Liang was about to speak, his wife, Xu Shu, snatched the seat first. She smiled at Zhao Zinan with a flattering expression.
"Young Master Zhao, this is Jade and Lily's cousin, fatherless and motherless. Her name is Ruoshui, and she is staying with us for the time being."
Xu Shu emphasized the words' parentless' and 'temporary' to the point that Lady Zhao on the other side of the room frowned. It was obvious that she was a little disdainful of his words.
Upon hearing Xu Shu's words, Yan Ruishui's face immediately turned cold. Upon seeing this, Yan Liang tugged at Xu Shu.
At this time, Old Man Zhao shifted his gaze to Yan Rushui and asked, "You're Yan Guang's daughter?" As he said this, his voice trembled slightly. He was clearly in a difficult spot, but he ruthlessly restrained himself.
Yan Ruushui was originally angry, but upon hearing Old Master Zhao's question, her face froze for a moment. She subconsciously asked, "You know my father?"
It had been years since her father's name had been mentioned. Even her father's elder brother, her uncle Yan Liang, was never mentioned.
Every year, on the day of his parents' death, his uncle and his family would not express anything. Yan Rushui would always silently sweep the tomb by herself! And now it was mentioned by an old grandpa.
Yan Rushui's parents passed away very early, so she didn't have the chance to spend time with her parents since she was very young. Thus, she wanted to learn more about her parents' past from others.
Old General Zhao laughed, "You are Yan Guang's girl, you have the same bad temper as him!" "Sigh, what a pity ?"
The old man let out a long sigh, and the atmosphere turned cold. Zhao Zinan glanced to the side and saw the little girl beside him drooping her head. She seemed to be lost in thought.
Zhao Family's grandmother followed up on Old General Zhao's words and said emotionally, "Your father, no matter if it is in the army or business, no one will be able to keep up with him."
Yan Ruoshui's eyes were dim, like a sunflower that had lost its sunlight, devoid of life. Zhao Zinan originally watched the scene coldly, but now, he suddenly felt like he couldn't watch any longer.
"What's the point of bringing up such adult matters? It makes everyone sad." He wanted everyone to stop immersing themselves in the past, and he also didn't want to see the gloomy expression on Yan Ruishui's face.
Yan Ruoshui did not understand what Zhao Zinan meant. It was rare for someone to talk about her father, so she wanted to listen to more! This old man was always causing trouble. She glared at Zhao Zinan snappily.
Yan Liang's expression had darkened ever since he heard the Zhao Family members mention his little brother. Now that Young Master Zhao had spoken, he quickly followed up.
"That's right, that's right. Let's all talk about happy things. My two daughters are considered children by others ?"
"How old are you?" Zhao Zinan rudely interrupted Gu Ming and directly asked Yan Rushui, causing everyone to focus on the two of them.
However, everyone had a different look in their eyes. The Zhao Family members had the expression "Did my grandson fall for this girl?" while the Yan Family members looked at Yan Rushui as if they were facing a great enemy.
Yan Ruoshui's mind went blank, momentarily forgetting to reply. 'Damn, could it be that he has some thoughts about me?'
Before Yan Ruoshui could reply, Xu Shu impatiently answered for her, "She's only seventeen this year. She's still a minor. I brought her out to play today. "
That meant that since Yan Ruushui was young, she wasn't here for a blind date!
This was the first time that Yan Rushui wanted to give Xu Shu a Like! She didn't want this old man to take a fancy to her! Besides, this man who looked like an old fox must be very scary!
Yan Rushui felt that she didn't have enough Duan Qi ?
"Don't worry, we can get engaged first." Zhao Zinan's simple sentence had broken the age limit.
"No way!"
At the dining table, the four of them said the same word at the same time.
"Answer me one by one. Why can't I?"
