Jian Dan and Grandpa went backstage together, where there were many people, but Jian Dan immediately spotted a woman among the crowd. That woman seemed to have a glow of her own, making it impossible not to notice her.
Jian Dan was somewhat stunned upon seeing her, because she was like Uncle—radiant, wherever she went, the light followed her, making her easily noticeable even in a crowd.
"Little Jian, what are you looking at?" Chu Zhiyuan followed Jian Dan’s gaze and looked over, his eyebrows furrowing unconsciously. "That’s the granddaughter of that old man Yang," Chu Zhiyuan whispered in Jian Dan’s ear.
"Ah? That’s her?" Jian Dan looked at her again, her gaze mixed with a hint of jealousy.
Does this woman have to be so perfect? Jian Dan pared all the girls around her to her, and aside from Qiu Zimo, none could match her.
"Grandpa Chu, you’ve e; it’s been a long time. You still look as spirited as ever!" The girl saw Grandpa, smiled, and walked over to greet him.
"Yes indeed! Xiaoyu, you’re getting prettier and prettier."
"Thank you, and this is..." Xiaoyu turned her gaze to Jian Dan beside Chu Zhiyuan and spoke lightly.
"This is my granddaughter-in-law, Jian Dan!" Chu Zhiyuan introduced Jian Dan, a trace of pride in his eyes.
"Granddaughter-in-law?" Xiaoyu looked at Jian Dan again with a change in expression, but she hid it well, so Jian Dan didn’t notice.
Later, she gradually felt that the change was a form of provocation and hostility.
"Grandpa Chu, I’ve arranged a dressing room for you, please follow me!" Xiaoyu’s face held a perfect smile, but there was no sign of any emotion in it, only falseness!
All the way to the dressing room, Jian Dan kept pondering one question: why did that woman seem to have hostility towards her? Today was clearly a petition between two elders; why would Xiaoyu have hostility towards her when they were meeting for the first time?
Just as she was thinking, she heard Grandpa calling her, "Ah?"
"Little Jian, what’s wrong with you? You’ve been daydreaming since just now," Chu Zhiyuan asked worriedly.
"Oh! It’s nothing, I was just deep in thought," Jian Dan shook her head and smiled.
"Little Jian, did you e up with a good idea?" Chu Zhiyuan asked excitedly, looking at Jian Dan.
"No, I was thinking about how Yang’s granddaughter looked at me just now."
"Oh... why ponder about that now? It’s better to think about the uping show."
Jian Dan noticed that when Grandpa said this, his expression changed and he avoided her gaze.
It seemed there was indeed something about that woman she didn’t know, and she had a strong feeling that whatever it was, it had something to do with Uncle.
"Little Jian, e and see, how’s this dress?" Chu Zhiyuan took a dress from the rack to ask Jian Dan’s opinion.
Seeing that he didn’t want to talk about it, Jian Dan wisely refrained from asking further, refocusing her thoughts on today’s petition.
"Are all these clothes designed by Yang’s granddaughter?"
"Yes! That lass is indeed very outstanding in design," Chu Zhiyuan spoke with unmistakable admiration in his eyes.
From Grandpa’s eyes, Jian Dan could tell he quite liked Xiaoyu.
