Xia Yueqing sat nervously in the living room, chatting with the Pei family's old lady in a somewhat aimless manner.
Seeing her tension, the old lady smiled and stood up. "I'll go check how things are going in the kitchen. You sit here for a while, and please don't be formal, just treat it like your own home."
Her enthusiasm rubbed off on Xia Yueqing, who smiled brightly, "Okay."
After the old lady walked away, Xia Yueqing wiped off some cold sweat.
In the kitchen, the old lady didn't really pay attention to what the servants were preparing but instead took out her mobile phone to call her son once more.
"Mom, I'll be there soon, just on the road."
With Pei Yiting's reassuring reply, the old lady finally hung up the phone with a gleeful smile.
She elegantly adjusted her hair and spoke with Aunt Xiao.
"Madam, is only the second young master coming back today?" Aunt Xiao asked as she stirred the soup in the pot.
The Pei family isn't just a small household anymore.
