Chapter 425 - Granddaughter-in-law (1/2)
Meanwhile, at the restaurant, Old Master Shenlong was looking at his future "granddaughter-in-law" from top to bottom. He had just arrived with Shenlong Yuan not long after Callum arrived at the restaurant.
His father might be disinterested in joining but Shenlong Yuan was very interested. He had tagged along to see what his cousin would do to get out of this dilemma.
When they walked into the room, the woman that Callum hired stood up and greeted Old Master Shenlong and Shenlong Yuan.
When he saw Callum brought a girl, Shenlong Yuan was surprised by it. He had honestly thought that Callum would put Ghost in a dress and made him masquerade as a girl.
After a while, Old Master Shenlong nodded in approval and said, "Good girl… With such a gene, my future grandchildren would not be too bad…"
"Thank you, Ye Ye," said the woman.
Old Master Shenlong looked at the woman's stomach and asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"A boy, Ye Ye."
"Great! At least there would be another heir to our Shenlong Family," said Old Master Shenlong. He looked at his youngest grandson in disgust for a moment before turning back to the woman. With a gentler tone, he said, "I hope that your son would not give you as much grieve as what my son and grandson did."
Callum knew that Old Master Shenlong was angry at the fact that Callum still refused to move back into the Shenlong House.
"Stubborn old man…" murmured Callum.
"Idiot grandson…" said Old Master Shenlong.
"Erm… Why don't Ye Ye and Cousin Yuan sit down? The dishes are about to arrive," said the woman, Xiao Yi, politely. She was an old acquaintance of Callum when they were in university. Even though it was weird that he suddenly reached out to her after he saw her photo online, she still agreed to do this. Especially after Callum said he would pay for everything in relation to the baby up until the baby turned 5 years old.
Xiao Yi did not really need any money, but she was curious as to what he was up to. Hence, she agreed to help out.
Old Master Shenlong was impressed with her manners. In his mind, his youngest grandson had the manners of an ape, and it was sad that this woman had to deal with Callum every day from now on.
Not long after everyone sat down, the dishes arrived. Eight waiters came in one by one. Since Old Master Shenlong knew that his future "granddaughter-in-law" was pregnant, he told the manager of the restaurant to be more hygienic. As such, all the workers in the restaurant, from those working at the tables to the ones in the kitchen, had to wear a mask.
Once they placed the dishes down, four of them left the room while the other four stayed at the corner in case their guests needed anything.
"Xun."
Callum, who was about to eat, looked up at his grandfather. "What?"
"Take some of the dishes for your girlfriend. Seriously…" Old Master Shenlong tutted. He then sighed, "I don't see how she fell in love with you."
Callum rolled his eyes before he placed some of the stir-fried vegetables, braised mini abalones, and prawns on Xiao Yi's plate.
Xiao Yi smiled and thanked him. She then took the prawns and placed it at a corner of the plate. Shenlong Yuan noticed that she dipped her chopsticks into the bowl of soup that Callum scooped for her. It was weird because all her action showed that she was a well-mannered girl and what she just did was not.
"Can it be… that you're allergic to prawns?" asked Shenlong Yuan.
