Meng Hualan laughed heartily over the phone at Su Yue's reply.
They quietly arranged to meet on Wednesday evening, which was Chen Ziming's regular night shift.
The day soon arrived.
In the afternoon, Su Yue changed into a T-shirt and overalls, tied her hair into a ponytail, and dressed herself up like a student.
Meng Hualan had her driver wait for her downstairs.
Before leaving, she hesitated for a moment before choosing a messenger bag that Meng Hualan had given her.
As expected, she received praise as soon as she got into the car.
"Yueyue, you look so pretty dressed like this," Meng Hualan said from the back seat, holding her hand and smiling genuinely.
"Thank you, Auntie. This bag was a gift from you, and I really like it."
Perhaps it was the air conditioning in the car, but Su Yue felt a slight coolness in Madam Meng's palm, causing her to stiffen slightly and her voice to become more respectful.
Meng Hualan became even happier, reaching out and affectionately patting her head.
Su Yue told herself to stay calm, stay calm.
No matter how noble her status, she was still human.
She had to treat her as her boyfriend's mother, not show any nervousness or fear.
The car meandered through the streets and finally stopped at a rather mysterious courtyard.
It looked old, but it was meticulously clean and well-maintained everywhere.
A kind middle-aged woman was waiting at the door. Seeing them arrive, she came over with a smile and opened the rear door.
"The old lady is waiting inside. Please come in quickly!"
Su Yue's hands broke out in a sweat, and she unconsciously clenched her clothes.
She was about to meet a figure from the books!
And it was her idol, whom she worshipped!
To be able to chase a star to this extent, her life was truly without regret!
The more she walked, the more excited and nervous she became. When the middle-aged woman pushed open a door, she suddenly realized that the esteemed elder Wang Mengning was inside.
Instantly, her feet felt as if they were cast in lead, her heart seemed to be pounding out of her chest, and she stopped in her tracks, unable to move.
"Yueyue, what's wrong?" Meng Hualan, who had been holding her hand, asked with some confusion when she stopped.
"Yueyue is finally here!" A kind but energetic voice called out from inside. Within seconds, an elegant and sophisticated old lady appeared at the doorway.
Su Yue's face showed immense surprise. She opened her mouth, but found herself unable to say anything.
She was too nervous to speak.
The old lady's face lit up with joy the moment she saw Su Yue. She walked straight over and took her other hand.
"As expected, someone who can make that brat Chen Ziming cherish her so much. You are truly beautiful and graceful, and you look like a very outstanding girl. Come, sit with Grandma."
In that instant, she forgot to breathe.
Then, her eyes welled up, and she felt like crying. She quickly nodded, which allowed her to move her feet slightly, and she followed them into the room.
"Yueyue, say hello to Grandma!" Meng Hualan, seeing Su Yue gazing dazedly at the old lady, her big eyes full of surprise, reminded her with a smile.
Being called upon, she realized how impolite she had been. But when she tried to call her Grandma, she found she still couldn't speak.
The old lady, being a seasoned person, understood her situation upon seeing her reaction. She chuckled and gently patted her hand, saying,
"Yueyue, don't be nervous. I'm here today as your grandma. Just think of me as an ordinary old lady, okay?"
How could she possibly think of her as just an ordinary old lady?
Su Yue was truly trying her best to suppress the joy and excitement within her. The two women didn't rush her, content to wait with happy smiles.
Finally, her body was no longer so numb, and her breathing had calmed considerably. When she opened her mouth again, a faint voice emerged.
"Hello, Grandma."
"Ah!" The old lady's eyes crinkled into slits as she smiled. Then, she picked up a gift box from beside her.
Opening it, she revealed a warm, milky white jade bracelet.
Even though she didn't know much about jade, Su Yue was deeply captivated by the bracelet the moment she saw it.
It was so beautiful, so noble.
"This is a meeting gift. Yueyue, please accept it."
As the old lady spoke, she picked up the jade bracelet and slipped it onto Su Yue's wrist.
