At that, the two rose and went to wait by the entryway. A few seconds later, they saw Mu Xingfeng and Xie Yunshu approaching with the three younger ones, along with two unfamiliar faces who were probably the guests mentioned on the phone yesterday.
Wu Guilan welcomed everyone warmly. "You're finally here! Come on, come in and sit down. You must be tired after the trip."
Mu Xingfeng handed over the gifts. "Mom, we brought some gifts and health supplements for you and Dad."
Wu Guilan gave the gifts to a servant to put away, had tea and snacks brought out, and began chatting with them.
"Xiao Ci and Xu Xi just keep getting better-looking! Grandma missed you so much." When Wu Guilan saw Yan Wen, affection filled her eyes. She reached out to pat his head. "You must be Xuyan, right? You're just as adorable and lovable as you were when you were little!"
"Hello, Grandma," Yan Wen greeted her with a smile, inwardly puzzled. Xiao Qi, was Xuyan my old name?
Xiao Qi nodded. Yes, Host. Your name in the Mu Family used to be Mu Xuyan. It's now listed as your former name in the household register.
Oh, then that's fine. Either way, she means me. If Grandma wants to call me Xuyan, let her.
Xie Zhiwen beckoned Mu Xingfeng over. "Come taste my tea. We'll go cast our lines in a bit."
Mu Xingfeng poured him some tea. "Sure thing, Dad! We won't stop to sleep tonight. We'll fish for a whole day and night!"
Wu Guilan kept the others chatting in the living room, while Xie Zhiwen and Mu Xingfeng sat farther inside at the tea table, sipping tea and talking.
Wu Guilan asked, "Why didn't Xiao Ye come? Is he still busy working overseas?"
