Chapter 58 Meeting Xu Pingtao's wife, He Lin

Because Shen Yao came from ancient times, she had told Shen Wancheng when she first arrived in Hong Kong that she couldn't accept that people nowadays wear such short skirts and shorts, exposing so much of their hands, feet, and even their chests and shoulders.

Shen Wancheng told her that people nowadays value freedom of dress. In the south, it's still hot in October, so wearing less is cooler, and it also looks good on people nowadays.

They had been in Hong Kong Island for over a month, and Shen Yao had gradually gotten used to this style of clothing and even thought it looked good.

However, she still refused to dress like that herself. She usually wore the style that Shen Wancheng liked, such as a long-sleeved gauze shirt paired with trousers.

When choosing a dress this time, Shen Yao still looked for a long-sleeved and trousered style that she could accept among various styles of dresses and gowns.

But these dresses either had slits in the trousers or deep V-necks in the top, all of which were styles that Shen Yao could not accept.

After Shen Mei chose a princess dress, Shen Yao hesitated for half an hour before Shen Wancheng made the final decision for her, choosing a white Chanel-style suit.

After Shen Yao changed into the new clothes, she found it awkward to walk.

Having no other choice, Shen Wancheng began to correct Shen Yao's manners right there in the store.

"It's similar to the etiquette and manners you know before: straighten your back, put aside your awkwardness, show your confidence, and tell yourself, 'I am the most beautiful girl.'"

With other people present, Shen Wancheng couldn't exactly display the demeanor and etiquette of an ancient lady; she could only speak vaguely. Fortunately, Shen Yao understood what Shen Wancheng meant.

But Shen Yao understood it all too well, and she took out the etiquette of ancient ladies without any modifications.

It's good to stand tall and hold your head high, but Shen Yao placed her hands on her abdomen and took small steps when walking.

Shen Wancheng was amused and covered her mouth to laugh. She only spoke after she had finished laughing.

"Don't put your hands on your abdomen, put them down, keep relaxed, walk as you normally do, um... please be yourself."

After hearing that she was playing herself, Shen Yao finally got the hang of it. She walked around the store a few times, and Shen Wancheng nodded in approval.

Shen Mei, who had been sitting and watching, unconsciously adjusted her posture as Shen Wancheng instructed when Shen Wancheng was teaching Shen Yao.

After Shen Wancheng noticed this, she also had Shen Mei stand up and walk around.

This time, Shen Mei's words of gratitude finally seemed somewhat genuine.

Actually, Shen Wancheng wasn't just helping Shen Mei. If Shen Mei lost face at the banquet, Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao would also lose face.

When Xu Pingtao set the date for the family reunion banquet, he had already implicitly agreed that Shen Mei would attend.

Shen Wancheng also wanted Shen Mei to see the gap between herself and the upper class, to put away her overly ambitious thoughts, and to focus on doing her best in the present.

If Shen Mei couldn't see clearly, then she probably wouldn't approve of the job Xu Pingtao arranged for her. When Shen Mei refused, that would be the time for them to part ways.

At certain points in time, a person's future can be completely different depending on a single thought.

Shen Wancheng secretly hoped that Shen Mei wouldn't see things clearly, since someone was still waiting to see how she would handle the matter. If Shen Mei saw things clearly, Shen Wancheng would lose an opportunity to prove herself.

The matter of Shen Wancheng and her sister recognizing Xu Pingtao as relatives was completely confirmed in just two days. The reason why the family reunion banquet was held in such a hurry was not only because Xu Pingtao was really anxious, but also because Xu Pingtao wanted to catch the He family and some unruly directors of the group off guard.

Although the He family has had only one son per generation for three generations, as a century-old family, the He family still has some distant relatives beyond the fifth degree of kinship. These people used to be nothing more than parasites who ate fly meat, but after the direct line of the He family died out, some of them started to make trouble.

For these reasons, Xu Pingtao announced Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao's identities to the public and arranged the family reunion banquet before letting Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao meet He Lin.

He Lin suffers from Alzheimer's disease, which is an uncontrollable factor. Therefore, Xu Pingtao wants Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao to meet He Lin before the banquet. If He Lin accepts them, she can attend the family reunion banquet. Otherwise, if He Lin rejects them, she can be prevented from attending due to her poor health.

Of course, it would be best if He Lin accepted Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao, since He Lin's presence would mean that Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao were also acknowledged by the He family.

This made Xu Pingtao, Shen Wancheng, and Shen Yao look even better.

Seeing that He Lin's matter was so important and private, Shen Wancheng did not plan to bring Shen Mei along.

The banquet was held at the He Mansion. After Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao arrived at the He Mansion, they arranged for a servant from the He family to take Shen Mei to the banquet hall. They also asked the servant to accompany Shen Mei and leave her in the banquet hall if the servant could not accompany her.

This was ostensibly to take care of Shen Mei, but also to subtly have the servants keep an eye on her.

The servants who can work for a wealthy family like the He family for a long time are all shrewd and understand Shen Wancheng's meaning without her having to point it out.

After parting ways with Shen Mei, Shen Wancheng went to see He Lin with Shen Yao.

On their way to meet He Lin, they encountered Xu Pingtao, who came out to pick them up.

Xu Pingtao told them that He Lin had taken a nap for more than two hours in the afternoon and was in good spirits today. Apart from her memory still being confused, she was just a normal old woman.

These words calmed Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao's anxiety a little.

Shen Wancheng was an orphan in her previous life and had no experience in getting along with elders. On her way here, she asked Shen Yao for a lot of advice on how to please elders.

After listening to what Shen Yao said, Shen Wancheng realized that she couldn't learn it at all.

Therefore, Shen Wancheng was not confident at this moment, and was actually the most nervous.

When they arrived at the detached villa where He Lin lived, they stood at the door and looked at He Lin.

Unexpectedly, He Lin saw Shen Wancheng and the others first.

Shen Wancheng was genuinely nervous when He Lin looked at them.

Unexpectedly, Lin gave them a kind smile the moment she saw them.

He Lin completely ignored Xu Pingtao standing next to Shen Wancheng and waved to Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao with a smile.

"Nannan, Tuantuan, come here."

Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao exchanged a glance, then looked at Xu Pingtao at the same time.

Is she calling us?

Xu Pingtao looked somewhat dazed, as if lost in memories, and only came back to his senses after a moment.

"Well, you guys go ahead. She shouldn't reject you, and might even like you a lot."

Shen Yao asked, "Then what should we call her?"

"Call her Grandma."

Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao nodded.

Shen Wancheng thought to herself that they must have inadvertently stumbled upon some secret of the He family.

But there was no time to think about it. When they turned back to look at He Lin, He Lin had already gotten up from the rattan chair when she saw them.

Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao quickly walked over.
