Grandpa Zhai wasn't surprised to see this version of his best friend. He was well aware of Grandfather Xiang's anger. And when he said that he was protective of his family, he wasn't just saying it. Grandpa Zhai knew how much the Xiang family valued their family members. And blood wasn't the only thing important to be a family member.
To be honest, he was feeling gratified that Yue Yue was now considered a part of the Xiang family. It meant she wasn't alone now and she didn't have to always trample on her wishes to give in to someone else. She could be herself.
But this family came to her at the cost of her own voice which really saddened him.
For a long time, no one spoke anything. Grandfather Xiang wasn't interested in talking. Elder Yue was too shocked by the news of Yue Yue's condition and even Madam Yue was in disbelief. While Grandpa Zhai and Grandma Zhai didn't think it was right to speak.
