Chapter 1939 — Uncle Qing Has Arrived

One thing was certain, though: all the signs indicated that Grandma Sun must have been someone with a story. He just did not know what had caused her amnesia. Yet even without her memories, her skill at cooking had not been lost—it was probably pure instinct.
Of course, Wei Zhao had never deliberately questioned Grandma Sun about her past, nor tried to help her recover her memories. Everyone has secrets and sorrows of their own, and he did not want to pry—what if it was a memory Grandma Sun would rather not recall?
Shaking his head, Wei Zhao dialed Uncle Qing's number.
"Xiao Yi, are you all back already?" Uncle Qing's voice came through the line.
"Uncle Qing, we're back—at the villa in Xueshang Residential Community," Wei Zhao said. "Where are you?"
"I've looked at the locations of several office towers that are up for sale and taken some photos. I'm going to bring them back to discuss with Mr. Gu, to see which one would suit a branch office in Donghai," Uncle Qing said. "I'm just about done now. I'll head over!"
"All right, just come to the villa area of Xueshang Residential Community. My Grand Cherokee is parked outside the villa—that's the one," Wei Zhao said.
"Got it, I'll be right there," Uncle Qing said.
After hanging up, Grandma Sun happened to carry out a plate of red oil saliva chicken and set it on the dining table—a feast for the eyes as well as the nose and palate, enough to make anyone's mouth water at a glance.
"Mr. Lin, Miss Gu, when will the guest arrive? There are a few more hot dishes—they're best eaten while hot," Grandma Sun asked.
"He'll be here soon. He's not really a guest—just family. He's the housekeeper from Songshan City. Grandma Sun, I mentioned him to you," Wei Zhao said.
"Ah!" Hearing that Uncle Qing was coming, Grandma Sun's face flushed at once, and she grew flustered. "This... he's coming already?"
To her, Wei Zhao had only mentioned it offhand last time, and she had forgotten all about it after a few days. She had never expected Wei Zhao to bring it up again, and now she did not know what to do with herself—she was not ready at all!
"Heh, it's just a meeting, nothing more to it. Get acquainted first—you're both housekeepers, after all, so you're bound to get to know each other," Wei Zhao said.
"That's right, Grandma Sun. Uncle Qing is actually a very good man," Gu Mengyao chimed in.
In truth, if Uncle Qing and Grandma Sun really did end up together, it would be a good thing no matter how one looked at it—not only would Uncle Qing no longer be lonely, but Grandma Sun would have a companion too. And they were all family besides, so there was no fear of any trouble.
