"How did I not know about that news?" Liu Zheng shouted in disbelief as he had never known Lee Tao was in the same classroom as his daughter.

"Seriously… just how are you still a Patriarch when you don\'t even know about your daughter?" Liu Ying twitched her mouth.

She was expecting an answer from him yet it seemed like he was clueless himself.

While they were glancing at each other awkwardly, a voice interrupted them.

"Well, it\'s probably because that girl despised me, so she never told anyone about us being in the same classroom." Lee Tao said nonchalantly as he gazed around the atmosphere in the Liu Clan.

Unlike the gloomy sort of atmosphere in the Lee Clan, the Liu Clan was like a breath of fresh air.

Meanwhile, Liu Zheng held a dumbfounded look as he began sweating nervously.

"E-Elder Sister, you have to trust me that I never told Lanfen to disrespect Lee Tao." Liu Zheng said nervously. 

He was afraid of Liu Ying being displeased by his teaching and even more so to Liu Lanfen.

However, he was merely overthinking things as Liu Ying really didn\'t care.

"Stop worrying too much, little brother." Liu Ying said as she walked forward. 

"I know how my son is, so it\'s normal for Lanfen to not like him a bit."

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when Liu Ying didn\'t blame him. 

\'Thank the heaven… I have escaped death.\' He thought.

Sometime later, Liu Zheng brought Liu Ying and Lee Tao to the main room of the Liu Clan.

"Ahh, it\'s Madam Liu."

"Welcome back, Madam Liu."

As soon as the people inside saw Liu Ying, they all stood up and greeted her. 

Meanwhile, a middle-aged woman was walking toward Liu Ying as she caressed her face.

"Why is your face so skinny, Xiao Ying? Did they mistreat you over there?" She asked.

Liu Ying smiled gently at the middle-aged woman. 

"Grandma Qiu, how can I possibly be mistreated there?" Liu Ying said.

Liu Qiu was one of the most respected elders in the Liu Clan, and everyone had simply addressed her Grandma Qiu due to her wise wisdom and decision-making.

Although Liu Qiu could practically make any decision she wanted, she had rarely abused her authority and was always carefree.

In fact, the people in the Liu Clan were all in harmony that everyone chatted and had fun together.

A complete opposite environment of the Lee Clan where everyone had their own motives and schemes. 

Sometime later, Liu Qiu made Liu Ying sit close to her at the large round table.

"Come, Xiao Ying. We haven\'t eaten together for a long time, and you never came back once since you married that bastard." Liu Qiu said softly.

The bastard she referred to was naturally Lee Longwei, a person that everyone in the Liu Clan had deemed unworthy of marrying Liu Ying.

They had even tried their best to persuade her but in the end, they still respected her decision. 

However, that doesn\'t mean they approved of him, and now that Liu Ying is announcing her divorce, everyone couldn\'t help but feel joy about it.

Liu Ying merely smiled cheekily as she patted Lee Tao\'s shoulders.

"Let\'s not talk about those things in our reunion, Grandma Qiu." Liu Ying said.

And she continued, "Here, let me introduce you to my son, Lee Tao." 

Lee Tao didn\'t want to greet anyone since they were all strangers to him.

Suddenly, he felt a slight pinch in his butt and he realized it was from Liu Ying. 

"You better greet everyone properly. Otherwise, I\'m making you sleep on the floor tonight." Liu Ying sent a mental transmission to Lee Tao as she warned him of the consequences. 

Lee Tao twitched his mouth.

Why does he need to greet everyone here?

Sooner or later, they would get to know each other anyway since they\'ll be living here.

Despite the reluctance, Lee Tao stood up as he cupped his fist toward Liu Qiu.

"Lee Tao greets Grandma Qiu." Lee Tao said as he glanced at the other elders at the round table. 

"And to everyone sitting at this table. We\'re all family here, so I don\'t think we should keep greeting like this." He added.

"Hahaha, what a good nephew," Liu Zheng clapped his hand aloud as he laughed. "Sigh, that\'s right, we\'re all family here, so why do we need to act like some stranger." 

Liu Qiu nodded her head in agreement.

"Indeed, since Xiao Tao isn\'t an outsider, we should just drop the formality." Liu Qiu said as she waved her hand. 

"Come here, Xiao Tao. Let Grandma Qiu get a clear look at you." 

Lee Tao was in disbelief as he was practically dragged toward her by Liu Ying.

Meanwhile, Liu Qiu stared at his forehead and facial appearance for a good while before smiling happily.

"Xiao Ling is really an amazing woman. To be able to give birth to such a handsome young man," She complimented. 

A surge of unknown feelings rose up in Lee Tao\'s chest.

\'How long has it been that I was complimented by someone?\' He wondered silently. 

While Lee Tao was in a daze, Liu Qiu suddenly retrieved a jade pendant as she handed it to his hand.

"Xiao Tao, this jade pendant is a safety charm, and it will protect you from any harm." Liu Qiu said. 

"..."

Seeing the dazed Lee Tao, Liu Ying sighed softly as she patted his back.

"This is Grandma Qiu\'s goodwill, so just accept it gracefully," She urged him to keep it. 

Lee Tao nodded his head.

He then proceeded to wear it around his neck as he gave his thanks to Liu Qiu.

"Lee Tao thanks Grandma Qiu for the jade pendant," Lee Tao said with a slight smile as he returned to his seat. 

"Haha, what\'s there to thank? It\'s only natural that I should give you something." Liu Qiu shook her head as she picked up some dish and placed it into his bowl.

"Everyone, let\'s eat before the food gets cold." 

Afterward, a warm-hearted lunch began as everyone introduced each other and got along well.
