Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

“Grandfather, did you catch a glimpse of my office on your way here? The office building is much bigger than the one we have in Sky City!” Gao Ming said proudly.

“l read about it in the newspaper. The business is so big that you’re also well-known in Sky City. Gao Long wanted to come along on this trip, but he’s very busy at the office and can’t leave for the moment. He asked me to send his regards and to bring you gifts.” After saying that, Gao Lin took out two long brocade boxes from his bag.

The items in the two long brocade boxes were the same, both pearl necklaces. Such perfectly round pearls were really rare and it must have taken a lot of effort to find so many of them to string together. The value of these necklaces was immeasurable!

“One for you and one for Xia He,” Gao Lin said.

“Thank you, Old Master Gao,” Xia He said politely as she took the long brocade box.

“You can just address me as Granduncle like Qiao Mei. We’re all family,” Gao Lin said.

Xia He smiled and nodded. After thinking for a long time, Gao Ming finally made up his mind and asked, ‘Grandfather, can you stay here for a longer penoa or time( •crus way, you can take a goocl 100K at my company ana guide me along.”

Gao Lin’s parents ran a small clothing company in Country M after they came here, At that time, they only made enough to provide for the family. By the time Gao Lin took over the business, he gradually scaled up enough for the Gao family to be able to afford a villa. It was only then that their lives saw a great improvement.

The most capable ones in the family were still Gao Yu and Gao Long. The two brothers expanded the Gao family’s business on a massive scale and they were quite well-known in the fashion industry. However, the Zhang family came after them and created obstacles at every turn, causing their company to collapse in the end.

As for Gao Ming, everything he tried to do failed because of Zhang Chengs interference. The failures affected him a lot. He began to feel inferior and did not dare to invest in anything. This was something that had troubled him for a long time.

He had finally succeeded in something now! His company was the biggest in the small town! He had made a name for himself! However, what he hoped for the most was for Gao Lin to praise him.

“Your uncle is now holding the fort in Sky City. I’m already old and want to retire and live a quiet life. You’ve done very well. I have actually decided to move to this town,” Gao Lin said.

“Really? That’s great!” Gao Ming yelled out happily.

Now that Gao Mings company was located in this small town, his focus would definitely be in the town in the foreseeable future. Gao Lin also wanted to spend more time with Qiao Mei and her family.

Xia Xing held Xia Fan’s hand as the two of them slowly came down the stairs. Xia Xing stood in front of Gao Lin curiously and said, “Hello, old mister. My name is Xia Xing. Are you my mother’s friend?”

Gao Lin looked at Xia Xing emotionally with tears in his eyes. Xia Xing really looked like his elder sister when she was young. Even the way she spoke was very similar. He felt as if he was looking at his elder sister again.

“I’m your mother’s granduncle. I guess you should address me as great-grandpa,” Gao Lin said gently.

“Great-grandpa… But I already have a great-grandpa at home,” Xia Xing said as she looked at Qiao Mei.

Xia Xing was referring to Xia Jun. Qiao Mei picked Xia Xing up and explained, “He is your maternal great-granduncle. The correct form of address is very cumbersome. Why don’t you just call him Great-grandpa Gao?”

“Alright! I have another great-grandpa now! That’s great!” Xia Xing said as she clapped her hands happily.

Xia Fan blinked and clapped along with Xia Xing. Auntie Zhang went upstairs to carry Xia Yue down. It was time for the children to eat some solid food.

After Xia Fan and Xia Xing greeted everyone, they went to have their meal. Gao Lin stared for a long time even after the children had left and could not come back to his senses. He seemed to be able to see himself and Gao Tao when they were young. The two of them also used to go around hand-in-hand.

Gao Lin and Gao Ming were indeed from the same family. Within two days, Gao Lin had already bought a mansion in the town center. He also bought the house next door for Qiao Mei. It was very cold in the suburbs during winter, so it would be better for the children to live in the town center during that season.

Xia He looked at the map of the town in her hand and hesitated. She sighed and said, “Do you think I should buy the house next to yours? But we’re leaving at the end of next year, so why would I need a house here? It will only be left vacant here!”

“You have bought so many houses in the capital and you won’t be able to stay in all of them either, but didn’t you still buy them? Besides, although we don’t live here, we can still come for visits,” Qiao Mei said..
