As she spoke, she raised her hand and pressed the corners of her eyes. Mrs. Tong noticed that this old lady, who had an elegant aura around her, was using a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears.
She looked at the old lady's attire again. There was no crease on her outfit and exquisite flowers were sewn on her sleeves. She was wearing a navy blue pleated skirt that reached her ankles such that her shoes could be seen. She continued looking down. Mrs. Tong realized that even the shoes the old lady was wearing were embroidered shoes. From her entire appearance, you could tell that this was a wealthy person.
Such a wealthy grandmother… Mrs. Tong had some thoughts in her mind. She replied politely, "You're being too kind. Based on what I know, Ye Jian is an orphan. Before she entered grade eight, she lived with Mr. Ye's family. Even though you said that you're her grandmother, I'm really sorry. I've never heard her mention it before."
