Chapter 247 - Big Sister (1/2)

The lunch was more than just a joyous occasion. It was the moments that Xu Mey spent laughing and talking with her father and grandfather without hiding herself behind any facade.

Seeing her laughing so contently, Xu Cheng couldn't stop the tears that had pooled up in his eyes. He was lost in his own thoughts with a tender smile on his middle-aged face.

Xu Mey saw her father wiping his tears and asked anxiously, "Dad, why are you crying?"

"Nothing..." Xu Cheng shook his head but Xu Mey wasn't convinced at all.

"What nothing? Something must be up? Otherwise, why would a fully grown man like yourself cry?"

Xu Cheng patted her head like a little kid and said, "I'm crying because I'm really happy seeing you laugh freely. These are the tears of joy."

"Aiyo! Dad, you should get used to this laugh now since your daughter is not planning on losing it again."

"Oh, really? And what made my Xiao Mey decide this?" Xu Cheng asked curiously.

"Mm... Someone recently reminded that I should start living for love in my life instead of hate. And since I have so much in my life, why would I be sad? I'll only laugh now." Xu Cheng was happy hearing that from his daughter. And something in him knew about the person who must have said those words to her.

Until today, he didn't know how to thank that person who became the guardian angel of his daughter.

Xu Mey was planning on staying for the night but then she received a text and decided to leave. She hugged them goodbye and walked out of the Xu Residence.

Coming out, she caught sight of a silhouette that seemed to have been lurking around the mansion. Xu Mey didn't open the door of her car and walked towards the shadow that she had seen.

Outside the main gate, there seemed to be a young man pacing back and forth while he kept biting his nails nervously.

"Can I help you with anything, Mr?" Hearing Xu Mey's voice, the young man jumped up a bit.

"Ah! You scared me!" Xu Mey heard his polished voice. And when he lifted his face to look back at Xu Mey, she was startled.

Looking into his dark eyes, for a second she had an illusion as if she was looking at her own reflection. She shook her head to get rid of such absurd thoughts.

"Why are you hanging around my house?" Xu Mey asked the question for which she came to him.

"Oh, you live here?" He asked in return.

"Not anymore but still, it's my father's house." Xu Mey replied calmly staring at the man before her. He had a strange boyish charm to himself. And yet he seemed refined, responsible, and spirited.
