Chen Shu had been observing Lisa's reaction.

After seeing the lady, Lisa's gaze was clear but unchanged. Chen Shu then knew that Lisa wasn't interested in this lady.

However, thinking that Lisa was already over thirty-years-old and still did not have a girlfriend, Chen Shu was anxious for him.

As an elder, he somehow felt that for a young and capable man, it was still better for him to find an intimate partner to spend life with—someone to remind him to put on more clothing when it was cold and to bring him hot food when he was hungry.

If Chen Shu remained silent, it was going to be awkward.

"Lali, do you still remember her?" Chen Shu asked.

That lady put down the ladle in her hand, looked up at Lisa, and tenderly said, "Brother Lali."

Lisa stared at that lady's face, thought for a moment, and found the young girl's face in the depths of his memory. Although unsure, he asked, "It's Miaomiao?"

The lady was thrilled. "Brother Lali, you still remember me!"

Just then, Mrs. Chen walked out of the kitchen. Hearing their conversation, Mrs. Chen said to Lisa, "Lali, you still remember Miaomiao? When she was slightly over a year old, you'd always pushed her around in her stroller."

Lisa was five years older than Chen Miaomiao. He remembered that after he graduated from high school, Miaomiao was a little kid who had just finished elementary school.

The young girl had grown up beautifully.

Lisa knew what Mrs. Chen was trying to do. Seeing how Miaomiao was blushing, he knew that she was interested in him. However, Lisa wasn't looking for romance.

He went silent for a while before speaking. "Miaomiao should have graduated long ago and started working?"

Chen Miaomiao acknowledged and mumbled, "I've graduated for a few years already and am now working at an advertisement company as a strategist."

Lisa acknowledged her words. Just when Chen Miaomiao mustered up the courage to say something to him, Lisa suddenly spoke. "You're so pretty and should already have a boyfriend? When are you getting married? When that happens, tell me. Brother Zhan will give you a huge red packet."

Chen Miaomiao's smiling face froze.

The light pink color on her cheeks instantly turned to red, and her pair of black eyes moistened. However, she controlled her emotions and shook her head awkwardly. She held her tears back as she answered, "It's still early."

After hearing Lisa's words, Mrs. Chen knew that Lisa was uninterested in Chen Miaomiao.

Chen Miaomiao made an excuse to get chopsticks from the kitchen. Lisa knew that she went to wipe her tears secretly.

When she came out, Chen Miaomiao had a pair of chopsticks in her left hand and held a phone right against her ear with the other. In a surprised tone of voice, she said to the person on the other line, "Father, I'm at Grandpa Chen's. Oh? Brother is back? Okay, I'll go back now."

After she hung up, Chen Miaomiao said sheepishly to Old Chen and Mrs. Chen, "Grandpa Chen, Grandma Chen, my brother is back so I have to go home. Brother Lali, spend more time with Grandpa Chen before leaving." The young lady hung her head. Her eyes were visibly wet.

"Mmm. Okay."

After sending Chen Miaomiao off, Mrs. Chen hit Lisa's shoulder hard and reprimanded him. "Lali, why are you still so heartless? If you're not interested in Miaomiao, you can just reject her tactfully. Was that even necessary?"
