Lu Mian felt that the object in front of her was quite a nuisance; it was tall and large, effectively blocking the entire doorway.
Only after she managed to pry it open did she see Xiao Qimo and Grandpa Xiao standing behind it.
Lu Mian noticed that the old man had changed into a fitted suit; despite being over seventy, he still stood ramrod straight, prompting her to straighten her own clothes.
Xiao Jianli put on the look of someone meeting her for the first time. "So this is Mianmian, huh?!"
"..." Lu Mian caught on and smoothly went along with it, responding gently, "You're Grandpa Xiao?"
"Yes, it's me, it's me."
"Hello, Grandpa Xiao."
"Good, all is good."
After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Mian noticed that Xiao Qimo was standing quite far away, a full three meters from the doorway.
Only after they were done with pleasantries did Xiao Qimo step forward, his tone not particularly approving as he said, "This is the gift my grandfather brought for you."
