"She's not here," the man said succinctly.
Madam Pei's tone immediately changed, "How is your relationship with Xiaozhu? You've been married for so long, and I haven't heard any news of a great-grandchild yet!"
Pei Jingchuan let out a helpless sigh, vaguely replying, "So-so, grandma, you said before that once I'm married, you wouldn't inquire into my personal life."
At these words, Madam Pei remembered indeed saying them before.
She pouted, "I am your grandma, is it wrong to ask about you and your wife's relationship?"
"No problem," Pei Jingchuan responded calmly.
Madam Pei continued, "Your parents asked me when you're planning to arrange a meeting between both families. After all, you've been married to Xiaozhu for quite some time, we need to show her family that we value her."
"Even though Xiaozhu doesn't have parents, she still has an aunt, hasn't she? I heard it was her aunt who raised her, you need to be nice to her aunt too."
