Aside from the presidential inauguration, it was the first time Lai Yuaner met Xiao Minglan in person.
Xiao Minglan had a calm personality, different from other noble ladies, especially after her husband died. Unless necessary, she rarely appeared in public, and could be described as living in seclusion.
Even so, Xiao Minglan was still the honorary dean of Ocean College.
Now seeing Xiao Minglan, Lai Yuaner felt as if she was meeting her future mother-in-law in advance. She was young, and felt inexplicably nervous.
Lai Yuaner's rise also caught Xiao Minglan's attention.
Xiao Minglan's gaze on her was kind. Suddenly guessing something, she took the initiative to ask, "Is this Sister Hua's little granddaughter?"
Old Madam Lai's surname was Fang, and her single name was Hua.
