That night, Pei Yining didn't go to the Xu family's dinner, tempting as their meals were. Concerned about her brother, she instead convinced Xu Nianhua to join her at the Du family for dinner.
"Nianhua, I haven't seen you in so long. Let's have dinner with Grandpa, he will definitely be happy." Pei Yining, clinging to Xu Nianhua's hand, appeared determined not to let go.
When Du Chang saw Xu Nianhua, his eyes crinkled with a smile, and he said, "Yining sure knows the way. It's rare for this young lady to dine here."
"Grandpa, Nianhua and I are very close." Pei Yining said proudly, her buoyant chatter unaffected by Du Chang's special regard for Xu Nianhua, making Du Chang burst into hearty laughter.
Xu Nianhua occasionally chimed in, and the three of them chatted and laughed together, creating a very warm atmosphere.
Outside, the sound of a car parking was heard, and Pei Yining's face lit up instantly. She excitedly said, "My brother is back."
