When Nanny He heard the intense excitement in the old lady’s voice, she quickly paused whatever chore she was in the midst of and hurried over to where the old lady was standing.

She glanced and saw that the familiar car was back.

Shen Zhilie was next to the car holding a suitcase. Beside him was a slim girl in a long dress. Judging from her demeanor, she looked pretty good.

When Nanny He saw this, she was elated as well. She said to the old lady, “Well, hurry down! Haven’t you been looking forward to this for a long time? Let’s go.”

“Hey, here they come. Go on down ahead of me. I want to have a good look at the girl’s face first. If she isn’t pretty, I won’t bother.”

The old lady picked up her telescope. She looked excited.

She stared for a long time before the young lady finally turned around.

When she saw Ye Qianqian’s face, the old lady finally patted her thigh and exclaimed, “She looks so pretty! I’m going down! I’m going down!”

Nanny He hadn’t seen what Ye Qianqian looked like. When she saw the old lady’s excitement, she quickly took the telescope and looked into it.

The lady was wearing a long mint-green dress. She looked pretty tall and clean. Unfortunately, Ye Qianqian had just turned her head, so Nanny He couldn’t see her face.

Without any other choice, Nanny He headed downstairs.

Ye Qianqian and Shen Zhilie dawdled by the entrance for a while. After they took out the gifts they had brought for the elders from the luggage, they headed inside.

As they entered, Old Mrs. Shen was happily on her way down.

The old lady’s eyes glided toward them. When she saw Ye Qianqian, she amiably smiled and said, “Oh, you must be Qianqian! You look so pretty!”

Ye Qianqian knew this old lady. It wasn’t just through Ye Youyou that she knew her. She had also met her a couple of times in Kingstown.

Back then, the old lady had been with Yu Lili the entire time. She had been completely preoccupied with Yu Lili and probably had no recollection of Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian was not one to curry favor with others. She simply smiled and nodded her head. “Yes, Grandma,” she replied.

“I’ve known about you for a long time ago. This stupid kid, Zhilie, had you hidden away as if he were afraid that I would eat you whole.” As the old lady spoke, she glared at Shen Zhilie with a strange expression before coming forward and holding Ye Qianqian’s hand affectionately. She said, “I heard that you and Youyou are sisters. You do look alike, but unlike her, you possess good fortune. You look good. You have a full face. Oh, this is indeed a face of good fortune.”

The old lady looked elated. “Come on over and sit for a while. Zhilie, pour some tea.”

Ye Qianqian was a little embarrassed by all the compliments. She subconsciously glanced at Shen Zhilie.

Shen Zhilie was beaming. He seemed to be in a very good mood.

He turned around and saw Nanny He bringing the tea out.

She looked closely at Ye Qianqian’s face and remarked, “They really look alike! She and Youyou are a spitting image of each other, almost like twins!”

“Ahem... We are indeed twins, just fraternal ones. She looks more like my dad.”

“Do you look more like your mom?” This was Shen Zhilie’s first time hearing about it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ye Qianqian shook her head. “I look like my dad too.”

“It’s good that you look like your father. I’ve seen your mother. She has sunken cheeks and looks mean.”
