"Oh, my words!" Grandma Shi was more pleased with Senior Sister, "I just happened to co across it, so I bought it. This tea is not cheap, oh, by the way, I heard last ti that you were preparing to open a branch. Is the branch open now?"
There it was.
Shi i began to understand in her heart; asking about personal details was a must, the prelude.
Shi i smiled and said, "Not yet, it’s just in preparation for now. The decoration is all finished, but we still need to put out so feelers to attract custors."
"Attracting custors, huh," Old Mrs. Shi knew what it ant, but she didn’t quite understand why it was necessary to do so, and asked, "Why do you need to do that?"
"Because I want to make a coback," Shi i explained, "Opening a bar is a stepping stone."
"You’re opening a bar?" Mr. Shi couldn’t help but speak up, his frown suggesting disagreent, "Aren’t bars a bit too chaotic?"
"Oh, what old-fashioned thoughts you have! These days, not all bars are dirty," Old Mrs. Shi looked at her husband, "There are all sorts of bars, quiet ones, and those with dancing, like Ye Zi’s bar called Giant Bar. Isn’t it just a normal place to listen to music, have a drink, and chat? It’s not as complicated as you think it is."
Hearing his wife’s explanation, Mr. Shi’s brows didn’t relax. He looked at Shi i, wanting to ask sothing but suddenly realized he didn’t know her na, so he asked, "Girl, what’s your na?"
Shi i and Shi Lingyan had discussed this question on their way here. Smoothly, she said, "Just call Xiao Wu."
"Xiao Wu?" Old Mrs. Shi was taken aback, "Are you the fifth child in your family?"
"No, she’s an only child. Her na is Wu, as in the Wu from ’charming.’" Shi Lingyan spoke up from the side.
Old Mrs. Shi felt there was sothing off upon hearing this.
Xiao Wu?
Back when Tang Wu was still alive, everyone also called her Xiao Wu.
So, with the ntion of Xiao Wu, the first thing Grandma Shi thought of was Tang Wu’s face.
Indeed, Senior Sister did resemble Tang Wu a lot.
But as much as they looked alike, having almost the sa na was sowhat eerie.
Old Mrs. Shi felt uncomfortable and looked at Shi Lingyan, asking, "The Wu from ’charming’?"
"Yes, the Wu from ’charming,’" Shi i gave the exact answer.
Mr. Shi also found it a bit strange and asked again, "And what’s your surna?"
Shi Lingyan spoke up, "Her surna is currently Shi."
"Currently Shi?" Old Mrs. Shi was caught by the first two words, "What was it before?"
"Before... it was Tang," Shi Lingyan answered honestly.
Mr. Shi nodded deeply, his words carrying weight, "It seems the family history is quite complex."
"A little, but now, I am the only one left, so the surna doesn’t matter," Shi i smiled, her expression carrying a trace of bitterness.
"How did your parents... pass away?" Old Mrs. Shi asked tentatively.
Shi Lingyan spoke up, his voice carrying a slight reproach, "Grandma, let’s not dwell on such matters. What happened in the past isn’t important. What’s important is the present, and I really like her."
Old Mrs. Shi gave an awkward smile, glanced at her husband, and said, "That’s right, what matters is the present... What do you think, old man?"
