…
Over the next two days, Shi Yao busied herself with studying for her final exams.
As the final exams were getting closer and closer, Shi Yao had less and less time to play her games.
Lin Jiage, who had never known what 'revision' was, suddenly had a lot less time to play games every day.
In the blink of an eye, it was Tuesday, Grandpa Lin's birthday.
The birthday banquet was set to be held at China World Hotel Beijing at 5.30 pm.
On Tuesday afternoon, Shi Yao's lessons lasted all the way until 4 pm. Due to the tight schedule, she couldn't call for a makeup artist, so after returning to her dormitory room, she took a bath and changed into a gown. With He Tiantian and Leng Nuan's help, she put on some light makeup before leaving the room.
The driver that Grandpa Lin had sent was already waiting for her downstairs.
Upon seeing Shi Yao walking out of the dormitory room, the driver quickly got down and opened the car door for her.
It was fortunate that it was a Tuesday, so the traffic wasn't that bad before 5.30 pm. Even though it was already 4.50 pm when Shi Yao set off, it was only 5.15 pm when she arrived at China World Hotel Beijing.
After the car came to a stop, Shi Yao thanked the driver who had opened the car door for her before getting down and entering China World Hotel Beijing.
There was a signboard at the entrance, indicating the direction to Grandpa Lin's birthday banquet hall.
Following the signboard, Shi Yao easily found her way to her destination.
When she stepped out of the elevator, she immediately saw Grandpa Lin standing at the entrance of the banquet hall. He had a walking stick in his hand, and Auntie Sun was standing by his side. From time to time, he would shake hands with the guests and exchange pleasantries with them.
Shi Yao intentionally slowed down her footsteps. When the crowd at the entrance had all greeted Grandpa Lin and entered the banquet hall, she walked up to him. "Grandpa Lin, happy birthday."
"Yaoyao, you're here?" Upon seeing Shi Yao, the smile on Grandpa Lin's face deepened. "Auntie Sun, bring Yaoyao in."
"There's no need for that …" Shi Yao hurriedly shook her head. "Grandpa Lin, you can have Auntie Sun accompany you. I'll be fine alone. Besides, I saw Sis Jiayi too."
Grandpa Lin followed Shi Yao's line of sight into the banquet hall, and as expected, he saw Lin Jiayi chatting with a client of his company.
However, Grandpa Lin was afraid that Shi Yao would be too embarrassed to disturb Lin Jiayi after entering, so he still called out to his granddaughter, "Little Yi."
Hearing the commotion, Lin Jiayi shot a glance in the direction of the door before saying a few apologetic words to the person in front of her. After which, she hurriedly rushed over to the door in her high heels.
Lin Jiayi first called out "Yaoyao" before turning to Grandpa Lin and asking, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Old Master Lin said, "Yaoyao is here. Remember to accompany her. Don't just greet others and neglect Yaoyao."
"I understand, Grandfather. Don't worry, I'll be taking little darling Yaoyao away with me," Lin Jiayi said as she grabbed Shi Yao's hand.
Barely after Shi Yao took two steps forward, she suddenly heard someone calling out "Uncle Lin" from behind. The voice sounded rather familiar, so she subconsciously turned her head around.
What a coincidence …
The moment she arrived, the people from the Liang family also arrived.
Liang Huiling was chatting with Grandpa Lin with a smile on her face. Liang Jiusi was standing by the side, looking around as if he was looking for someone, and Liang Mumu … was staring at her.
Perhaps it was because she had heard the conversation between Grandpa Lin and her, and she had also seen how Grandpa Lin had called Lin Jiayi over, but her lips were tightly pressed together.
