This certainly drew so sideways glances.
In everyone’s impression, elderly won are typically seen as very plain and simple. Even the wealthy ones, due to their physique or personal style, settle for clothing that is deed appropriate for their age group.
Yet here was an old lady, who, to her peers, suddenly erged as an improperly flamboyant demon.
Dressed to the nines, she outshines even the younger mbers of her family—how could this go unnoticed?
However, most of the young people deeply appreciated her style.
Several folks of Rui Li’s age already had their eyes sparkling as they sneakily took out their phones, secretly capturing images of this "Immortal Grandma."
Although it was not very respectful to take photos without soone’s consent,
Rui Li’s hand was already, beyond her control, swiftly unlocking the cara feature on her phone.
And the woman these people secretly called "Immortal Grandma" was none other than Su Li.
She truly embodied beauty to the bone.
In this small world, Su Li had not used any Spiritual Power to nourish her body, so her current appearance was not exceptionally stunning.
Thanks to good maintenance, she stood out among her peers, but not in an overly ostentatious way.
When looks fall short, charm steps in.
Once a person’s aura reaches a certain depth, a glance reveals a presence that makes actual appearance a secondary concern.
All anyone would think was, "Wow... so beautiful..."
The elegance accrued over ti was particularly captivating.
Rui Li watched, with a heart slightly trembling, as the Immortal Grandma passed by her.
After brushing past her, the woman suddenly turned her head and bestowed upon her a radiant smile.
She dazzled the mont and dazzled Rui Li.
Rui Ran also took in a sharp breath—she, she, she... she realized...
Immortal Grandma had noticed she was being photographed.
After an awkward fluster ca heart-pounding excitent.
Rui Li thought it was just her who had been chard by an old lady lighting up her eyes, but on looking up,
Lo and behold, she was not alone.
Suddenly, Rui Li was overwheld with a strong desire to share this experience.
Her fingers tapped away on her phone, quickly uploading the just-taken footage to the humorous social platform.
She even used the company’s account.
There weren’t many followers anyway, so it shouldn’t matter, right?
After the Immortal Grandma had left, the young people on-site continued their discussion.
The consensus was that one should aspire to be like the Immortal Grandma.
They would be content if they could maintain such elegance and grace at that age.
Makeup adorning her face, her style impeccable,
Each gesture, each fleeting glance told a story.
The ti was now four o’clock sharp.
Soon, Rui Li received a call from her esteed mother.
But having seen the Immortal Grandma first, she now looked upon her own mother with so dissatisfaction.
Of course, it wasn’t the kind of dissatisfaction that was difficult to bear.
Rather, it stemd from concern—feeling that her mother, having worked hard all her life, should enjoy her later years as joyously as the Immortal Grandma did.
Rui Li suddenly said, "Mom, let’s go to the mall after dinner, and buy you so nice clothes."
"With your looks, you’ll definitely look great in them."
Rui Li’s mother couldn’t help laughing at her daughter’s continuous flattery.
But still, with a stern look, she said, "Why waste the money? I’m already so old, what’s the point of dressing up so nicely? Am I trying to be an old demon?"
"Oh, how I wish you were an old demon."
It wasn’t until after dinner that Rui Li took her mother for a stroll around the mall and then returned to her own house in the city.
Her phone vibrated non-stop during that ti, but she ignored it.
Those notification sounds were nothing but push advertisents or miscellaneous app alerts.
However, when she finally got ho, set down her items, and checked her phone, she was instantly dumbfounded.
She had gone viral... no, no, no, it was the video she had shot that had gone viral.
Only two hours had passed since she posted the video on DouQu, and now her inbox was cramd with various ssages.
The view count for the short video was skyrocketing at an alarming rate.
The title "Immortal Grandma" beca a hit on the platform and was recognized by many.
Rui Li was both thrilled and anxious about this developnt.
Thrilled because the fa she had previously fantasized about had finally beco a reality; anxious because... she had secretly fild the video without permission from grandma.
And just when Rui Li was considering deleting the video, she received a call from her boss.
"Rui Li, good job this ti; I’ve co across the video you posted."
"The number of followers on your account has reached our target... Your assessnt is looking good."
Rui Li sheepishly and hesitantly expressed to her leader her intention to delete the video but was t with resistance and refusal.
"You need to think carefully, deleting this video ans you won’t pass the assessnt; consider your probation period..."
These words left Rui Li very conflicted.
But in the end, she deleted the video anyway and recorded another short video to apologize to Immortal Grandma.
Because her actions had exposed grandma to the platform, how could she know if grandma had wished for this?

At the sa ti in another part of the city, Ning Linglan was also casually browsing through DouQu, legs crossed.
In the kitchen, her father was skillfully preparing her favorite dish, braised fish.
"Ling Lan, co and eat."
Ning Linglan let out a nonchalant "Oh," but kept her phone in hand as she took a seat at the dining area.
Her fingers occasionally swiped to select so videos of her interest.
Suddenly, she too stumbled upon the viral video of Immortal Grandma.
Like thousands of online users, she was amazed as well and muttered to herself softly, "If I could look like this when I’m old, I would be completely satisfied."
Ning Zhiyuan’s cloudy eyes followed the sound of his daughter’s voice and glanced at the phone screen unconsciously.
As a result...
His hand, which was serving the rice, trembled, and the bowl fell to the floor with a crisp shattering sound.
Ning Linglan jumped in shock, imdiately putting her phone down to clean up the broken pieces below.
She couldn’t help but complain, "Dad, really, can’t you even carry a bowl properly?"
However, her comnt was t with no response.
Looking up, she saw her father in tears, shaking as he picked up her phone, his eyes fixated on the looping video on the screen.
He seed to want to reach out and touch Immortal Grandma in the video, yet, as if he was afraid, he swiftly retracted his hand.
Seeing her father’s reaction, which was full of suspicion, Ning Linglan asked suspiciously, "Dad, do you know... this person?"
