"Surname Yang, the rest, I don’t know."

Surname Yang was correct.

In the Xiao family

The butler, following Grandma Xiao’s orders, took out the best tea to entertain the distinguished guest. While serving the tea, he saw that the guest who had come to the Xiao family was probably just over twenty years old, around the same age as the Xiao family’s eldest granddaughter, Zhao Mengjin.

She was young, and with her long hair fluttering, her attire wasn’t as flamboyant as that of most young people nowadays but was a very traditional sky-blue dress, which made her look very steady and pragmatic.

Grandma Xiao’s eyes were filled with satisfaction as she gazed at and then re-gazed at the visitor’s beautiful features, thinking to herself that this was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for her grandson’s wife, according to her and her son’s ideal.

Her son had kept a card up his sleeve. She had never expected this.

Such an excellent family’s daughter, why hadn’t her son presented her earlier? If she had appeared earlier, they wouldn’t have given that vixen a chance.

Grandma Xiao was a bit puzzled.

"You said your name is—?" Grandma Xiao tried to speak.

"Zhilin, Grandma. It’s fine for you to call me by my nickname, Linlin," Yang Zhilin said.

Grandma Xiao nodded, her smile growing more brilliant as she spoke, "Linlin, is it? I’ve never seen you before—"

"I’ve always lived in Switzerland with my father," Yang Zhilin said.

Switzerland, wasn’t that the wealthiest country in the world? Grandma Xiao’s eyes suddenly sparkled. Indeed, if her son introduced her, then surely the family background must be impeccable.

"What did you study in Switzerland?" Grandma Xiao continued her investigation of the candidate’s qualifications. This daughter-in-law couldn’t just come from a good family — her poise and education had to be exceptional as well.

"I have many interests and have learned a lot since I was young. Both my father and mother encouraged me to study more, so in university, besides majoring in literature at a Swiss academy, I also went to Vienna to advance my piano studies."

To Grandma Xiao’s ears, Yang Zhilin’s description painted her as a multitalented and cultured lady. Coincidentally, her own granddaughter was also talented. Grandma Xiao said with a laugh, "Both into music, you could talk with our Mengjin when you have the time."

"Are you referring to Miss Zhao?" Yang Zhilin said, "We collaborated during a public concert in Vienna before."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Xiao became even more elated, and her eyes lit up with delight.

She liked her, very much indeed — Grandma Xiao had never felt such immediate fondness for a younger person. This girl clearly got along very well with her.

Yang Zhilin lifted her teacup and took a sip with perfect manners.

Grandma Xiao gestured to the butler.

The butler shook his head.

It meant that Yebai Xiao wouldn’t pick up their calls at all.

In the past, her grandson didn’t like answering her calls, and now that things had fallen apart with the family, it was even harder. Grandma Xiao sighed, wondering if she should show the girl her grandson’s picture first. Then, she contemplated looking for certificates or similar items her grandson might have left behind.

It wasn’t that Yebai Xiao had failed to complete university because of poor grades. On the contrary, the school had always begged him to return and was willing to issue his diploma unconditionally.

Grandma Xiao knew very well that the public image of a wastrel was far from who her grandson truly was. The school’s actions were not, as rumors suggested, because the Xiao family had bought them over with money, but simply because Yebai Xiao was a prodigy.

It should be noted that Yebai, three months into learning fencing, was already representing his school in competitions.

Yebai Xiao possessed a natural talent for learning and picked things up quickly. The issue was that his heart was never steady, and he had never truly focused on one thing, which made him seem erratic as others described.
