Chapter 52: Introduction

Lu Zhiwei hummed and hawed as she escorted Xiang Beifei to his family's doorstep.

"You're back? So late."

Xiang Qingde had been waiting for him to come home and only relaxed when he saw Xiang Beifei at the door.

"Hello, Grandpa Xiang!" Lu Zhiwei greeted him cheerfully.

"Eh? Xiao Wei, what brings you here?" Xiang Qingde asked in surprise.

"My dad sent me to make sure Beifei got home safely. You don't need to worry."

"Then come in and sit down for a bit," Xiang Qingde hurriedly said.

"No, I have to get home myself. I have to catch the early bus tomorrow to go back to school," Lu Zhiwei said.

"It's so late, and it's not safe for a girl to go home alone. I'll take you back," he insisted.

Xiang Qingde hurried to grab a flashlight and a coat, ready to escort Lu Zhiwei home.

"Look at that, now that's what I call an elder!"

Lu Zhiwei complained about her father again, then waved her hand with a carefree smile, "No need, Grandpa Xiang. I can manage on my own."
