Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go Chapter 1347 - 1351: Gathering for a Meal

The old man couldn’t help but ripple his brows at the sight of the child, nodding gently, "Child, just call me Grandpa like Yao and the others do."

The old man gave a look to the butler beside him, who understood and stepped forward with an inviting gesture, "Miss Xia, Miss Huan, please take your seats."

Under the butler’s guidance, Xia Qingqian and Beitang Huan walked to the seats on the old man’s left, and a servant came forward to gently pull out the chairs.

"Grandpa, what day is it today? Why are there so many people gathered here for a meal?" And in the absence of Brother Yao? Such gatherings only happen during festivals usually, and not under normal circumstances.

Every host’s villa comes with a number of servants, and having a meal turns into a needless fuss, with people coming and going.

"Today is just a day for a gathering, it’s a pity your Brother Yao had to go out due to other matters." The old man appeared kind, his gaze gently falling on Xia Qingqian, "Child, are you settling in well here?"

Feeling the gaze of so many people, Xia Qingqian felt a tingling discomfort on her back; she really didn’t like this kind of scene.

"Good..." Xia Qingqian quickly nodded, keeping her hands at her sides. She felt a slight sweat breaking out on her palms.

Everyone was scrutinizing her with different eyes, making her feel as if she was on pins and needles, unsure of what to do.

Moreover, she sensed a gaze from the unfamiliar yet familiar direction of 11 o’clock from across the table, but due to the situation, she didn’t dare move, only sitting quietly with a slight smile.

"What do you like to eat? Grandpa will ask the kitchen to prepare it for you." The old man asked again, just as he was about to call someone, she quickly raised her hand to her chest and shook it, saying, "Grandpa, I’m not picky..."

Even if she’s not picky, sharing a table with so many people for the first time made her so nervous that she might not even eat anything.

Moreover, these people had nothing to do with her.

"Oh, by the way, how did Qing Qian and Yao meet? How long have you known each other? Is your relationship confirmed?" The person speaking was Beitang Yao’s second aunt. Beitang Yao’s father had four wives in his lifetime, with Beitang Yao’s mother being the first wife, but she passed away ten years ago.

Xia Qingqian looked up and saw a man she had seen before at Beitang Yao’s villa, a man whose stern face had a slight resemblance to Beitang Yao’s features. Being watched this way made Xia Qingqian a bit awkward.

Yet she still nodded politely and called out, "Uncle, hello..."

Xia Qingqian suddenly felt terribly rude, having come in and addressed only the old man and Beitang Yao’s father despite being there for a while. Was it too impolite not to have greeted the others?

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself, I’m Xia Qingqian." She stood up, giving the people present a slight smile.

Then her eyes inadvertently fell in the 11 o’clock direction across from her, her body tensed for a moment, then quickly looked away, before sitting back down and turning to look at Beitang Huan.

"How could this child be so rude, not answering elders when they ask questions? Truly a child without upbringing." The woman who had just questioned Xia Qingqian was inwardly displeased with Xia Qingqian’s demeanor, secretly criticizing in her heart, what’s with this girl acting so high and mighty, she’s just another one of Yao’s pets!

These words were heard by everyone around, and they quickly coughed a few times in response.
