When they heard the way Gu Qingjiu addressed them, both Hilda and Helian Man let out a chuckle.
Helian Niancheng glanced sideways at Gu Qingjiu. "If you don't know how to address them, call my Mom 'Auntie,' and just call my Aunt 'Aunt' as I do."
Despite what he said, Gu Qingjiu found it embarrassing to call them that.
Hilda went over and held up Gu Qingjiu's hand. "Child, here, come over."
She spoke to Gu Qingjiu in Mandarin cordially.
Helian Niancheng's gaze, however, looked towards that elderly man. "Grandfather?"
Helian Man nodded as she gazed at him. "Go over and speak with him. You didn't even see him the last time you came back. Although he doesn't say it, he misses you dearly. I have given you my advice, and it's okay if you choose to be stubborn. But Grandfather is already advanced in age, and you've got to respect him at least."
