Lai Zhiyun was led by Grandmother Zhou, and the moment their bodies touched, she stiffened instinctively for a second or two.
She had never held hands with an elder in such an intimate manner before, apart from with her own mother.
At first, she was not used to it, but the old lady's smile was very infectious. It was warm, kind-hearted, and her gaze when she looked at Zhiyun was filled with affection, plainly showing her fondness for her.
Lai Zhiyun suddenly felt healed by Grandmother Zhou's smile.
Smelling the faint scent of jasmine on her, Zhiyun's nervousness gradually subsided. Under the influence of Grandmother Zhou's smile, her own smile became more relaxed and sweeter.
Grandmother Zhou was very enthusiastic. Holding Lai Zhiyun's hand, she led her into the house, guided her to wash her hands, and then walked over to the dining table. Grandmother Zhou sat down and cheerfully introduced everyone.
