When Yu Qi, Grandpa Tang, and Grandpa Mu appeared at the cafeteria, the workers were already having their lunch. So of them instinctively wanted to stand up and greet Yu Qi out of respect.
"No need to greet . Just continue eating your als." Yu Qi said gently, waving her hand to stop them.
It was a buffet-style setup. The three of them went to pick their food before looking around for a place to sit. Soon, they spotted an empty table and walked over to take their seats.
Just as they were about to start eating, Yu Qi suddenly heard soone calling her na.
"Yu Qi..."
When she turned around, she saw Lang Bing. Lang Bing was also one of the earliest workers whom she had personally hired to work in this greenhouse.
"Sister Bing, long ti no see." Yu Qi said with a warm smile.
"Yeah... It has been a long ti since we last t." Lang Bing replied with a nod.
"I am accompanying my elders to Saisei Ryokan." Yu Qi said.
"Oh... I heard about that incident earlier." Lang Bing said, her expression turning slightly displeased. "Her words were truly vicious."
"She is not going to last long here." Yu Qi stated calmly.
"Yeah... It is such a disaster. Well... I am going to go now. I need to check the stock that needs to be sent out today. See you again." Lang Bing waved her hand before turning around and leaving.
Yu Qi waved back in response.
After they finished eating, Yu Qi contacted Pei Xian. Pei Xian had been given a special pass to enter the greenhouse freely.
Yu Qi wanted to bring Grandpa Mu out to visit the town. However, she was worried about leaving Grandpa Tang alone. So, she called Pei Xian, who was Grandpa Tang’s personal bodyguard.
Only when Pei Xian arrived and stayed by Grandpa Tang’s side did Yu Qi feel at ease enough to leave the greenhouse with Grandpa Mu.
The first place that Yu Qi brought Grandpa Mu to was the market. Grandpa Mu looked around curiously, observing everything with interest.
"Eh... Is that you, Yu Qi?" An old woman greeted her with surprise.
"Yes. You are Grandma Sou, who sells eggs, right?" Yu Qi replied politely.
"Oh... It really is you. You have beco so beautiful." Grandma Sou looked at Yu Qi from head to toe, clearly impressed. Then, she turned around and called out loudly to everyone nearby. "Hey, everyone, look who’s here!"
The sellers at the market turned toward Grandma Sou’s voice. They imdiately recognised Yu Qi.
"It’s Yu Qi."
"Wow... Yu Qi cos back."
"When did you co back?"
"You have beco more and more beautiful now."
"How is your life?"
"What is your job now?"
The people in the market began asking many questions all at once. Yu Qi answered them one by one patiently without showing any sign of annoyance. Soon, people began to notice Grandpa Mu standing beside her.
"Yu Qi, who is this?" Grandma Sou asked curiously.
Yu Qi gently linked her arm with Grandpa Mu’s arm.
"This is my biological grandfather, Mu Guang Qi." Yu Qi introduced Grandpa Mu to them.
"So, Yu Qi, you finally found your biological family?"
"That’s great news!"
"Yes... I am truly happy to have found my biological family." Yu Qi nodded sincerely.
Everyone was chatting happily when soone suddenly ntioned the Wang Family.
"That is Shi Xen."
Everyone turned in that direction. Wang Shi Xen, the forr adoptive mother of Yu Qi, had just walked into the market. She noticed the crowd and beca curious about the commotion, so she approached them.
"What are you all doing here? Is there sothing good going on?" Wang Shi Xen asked.
Then, Wang Shi Xen spotted Yu Qi. She was stunned for a brief mont before her expression turned into a glare.
"Oh... What do we have here? An ungrateful person." Wang Shi Xen mocked. Then she continued sarcastically, "What are you doing here? Has your business gone bankrupt, forcing you to co here and hide from debt collectors?"
Wang Shi Xen then noticed that Yu Qi was linking her arm with an unfamiliar elderly man. She suddenly laughed mockingly.
"So, it seems you have beco a mistress." Wang Shi Xen said while laughing loudly.
Grandpa Mu frowned deeply. It was the second ti he had been wrongly accused of having an improper relationship with his own granddaughter.
Wang Shi Xen noticed the change in Grandpa Mu’s expression.
"What? Are you angry?" Wang Shi Xen taunted him further.
Grandma Sou stepped forward imdiately.
"Hey, Shi Xen, watch your mouth. This gentleman here is Yu Qi’s biological grandfather." Grandma Sou stated firmly.
"What?" Wang Shi Xen looked back and forth between Yu Qi and Grandpa Mu in disbelief. "Impossible! She did not have a family."
"I am sorry to inform you, but he is indeed my grandfather." Yu Qi smirked slightly.
"If he is your grandfather, then why did you end up in an orphanage?" Wang Shi Xen demanded.
"Well... it is a long story. But why do I need to tell you? I have no reason to share my story with you." Yu Qi said calmly. Then, she added sothing that struck directly at Wang Shi Xen. "Well... I am not like your daughter, who ended up in jail because of her relationship."
"I rember... Instead of going to study or work after finishing high school, she got into a relationship with a punk."
"That’s right. I rember advising you to keep an eye on your daughter, but you scolded and told to mind my own business."
"Yeah... and now you are blaming Yu Qi for your daughter’s mistakes? What are you even thinking?"
