As soon as they appeared, almost all the eyes on the lawn fell on them.

Whispers soon began.

"Is that the wife A Ci brought back?"

"I heard from the old man that he got the certificate not long after he returned to China. There was no news at all before."

"What is this girl's background? She doesn't look like any of the local ladies."

"The temperament is pretty good. Could it be that he brought it back from abroad?"

Those eyes fell on Shi Xiahe.

Consider, investigate, examine.

She tightened her fingertips slightly, but did not hide.

For today's family dinner, she followed the video until the early hours of the morning last night.

Standing posture, address, table manners, everything that can be made up has been made up.

She knew she was not from this circle.

But today, she is Mrs. Qi brought by Qi Yanci.

You can't have stage fright, let alone hold him back.

Shi Xiahe took a deep breath and raised a decent smile on his face.

At this time, a slightly harsh male voice sounded.

"Xiao Ci is back?"

A middle-aged man came over with a smile on his face but no warmth in his eyes.

He first glanced at Qi Yanci, then slowly looked at Shi Xiahe, his tone was scornful.

"It's such a big deal like getting married, but I don't inform my family in advance. Your grandpa is old and he will inevitably worry about you when he suddenly hears the news."

"Have you figured out Mrs. Qi's family background and character? Don't accept anyone from your home on a whim."

Shi Xiahe's heart skipped a beat.

Qi Yanci only glanced at the other party lightly.

"Second uncle just came back from the beach?"

The middle-aged man was stunned: "What?"

Qi Yanci said in a calm tone: "Otherwise, why would we be so lenient?"

The air became silent for a moment.

Several people around him could barely hold back their laughter.

The second uncle's face turned ugly.

"You——"

Before the words were spoken, another old but powerful voice came over.

"Little words."

Everyone got out of the way.

An old man with a cane stood not far away. His hair was gray but his back was straight.

He looked at Qi Yanci, his eyes slightly red.

"It'll be good if Xiao Ci is back. I've been suffering outside these years."

The coldness between Qi Yanci's brows and eyes became lighter.

"Grandpa."

He walked over with Shi Xiahe.

The old man looked at him for a long time and then turned his attention to Shi Xiahe.

Shi Xiahe immediately said obediently: "Hello, grandpa."

The old man looked at her with a complicated expression, and finally just sighed.

"Xiao Ci, come with me to the study."

After speaking, he waved to a girl in her early twenties next to her.

"Niannian, please accompany your cousin-in-law for a walk in the garden."
