"Achen, you're here." Shao Meiru, who had arrived earlier, immediately stepped forward to greet Zhou Mingchen as he walked in. She smiled at Xia Lu, "Miss Xia, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Xia Lu greeted her politely, following behind Zhou Mingchen as they entered. No matter how many times she met Shao Meiru, Xia Lu always felt that she wasn't friendly toward her. Even though she was smiling now, it felt like she could change her attitude at any moment. She was a bit intimidated, considering that Shao Meiru was like an upgraded version of Zhou Xinyao. Dealing with the daughter was already tricky enough, let alone the mother.
"I heard your father was recently hospitalized. How is he? Is it serious?" Shao Meiru suddenly brought up this issue, catching Xia Lu off guard.
