Those who were close enough heard it very clearly, Sixth Master was calling her "my precious granddaughter"!
Everyone looked at Xia Weiliang in disbelief. Even those not very familiar with the entertainment industry recognized her!
After all, it was widely rumored in capital circles that a certain female celebrity was the universally acknowledged lucky charm. Two products she endorsed had both soared to become national brands!
What did that mean?
Finding a good endorsement could save you ten years of hard work!
Even some present had contacted Xia Weiliang's agency to ask her for endorsements. The result? She simply said, "Our artist needs to study recently, we don't accept any amount of money!"
This was more than just arrogance! It was sheer audacity!
Who would have thought that they would actually see this lucky charm at Sixth Master's birthday banquet today!!
And she was Sixth Master's granddaughter?!
It was fortunate that they hadn't been petty and made things difficult for her back then, otherwise, they would have been celebrating her seventh day in the afterlife within a week.
The most shocked of all was Xiao Deye.
He squinted to look at Xia Weiliang. He had already sent people to investigate her, and generally, her background was unknown.
But if Sixth Master truly had such a granddaughter, he wouldn't have kept her hidden for so long. This meant the greatest possibility was that this girl was Sixth Master's newly acknowledged granddaughter.
Even so, it was too surprising.
As everyone knew, Sixth Master's whereabouts were unpredictable. One day he was seen in the south of the Earth, the next day he was encountered at the top of the world; his exact location was too remote for even navigation to keep up.
When did he get in touch with Xia Weiliang?
Xiao Deye stared at her carefully. This little brat was indeed not simple. First his grandson, then Sixth Master, she had won them all over!
Lin Suixiang also stared at her in disbelief. Granddaughter?
How did she transform overnight into Sixth Master's granddaughter?
Who was Sixth Master?
He was someone who could walk sideways in the circle of domestic capital bigwigs!
Even Xiao Deye had to respectfully call him "Sixth Brother" when he saw Sixth Master.
Why her?
Why?!
Xia Weiliang couldn't grasp the psychology of the crowd at this moment. She was just secretly relieved that she hadn't been too disheveled, otherwise, being the center of attention would have been a waste of good timing and location!
But being stared at by so many people, with some faces clearly displaying "Who is this?", made her feel quite awkward.
"Grandpa," she called softly.
"Heh heh, it's good that you're here! Grandpa has been waiting for you!"
Sixth Master was not reserved at all. He took her hand and walked forward, "You must not have eaten at this hour, right? It's alright, I'll have them start the banquet soon, you eat more."
"Ah, then you can rest assured! I wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in other aspects, but when it comes to eating, I can guarantee to eat with style!"
"Haha..."
No one knew what was going on with Sixth Master, but he loved hearing her speak. He enjoyed everything she said!
Even those around him were astonished. He rarely laughed this much throughout the year, but with his granddaughter's arrival, he couldn't stop laughing.
If everyone didn't know Sixth Master's character so well, they might have thought otherwise.
"Xiao Yi."
Xiao Deye called his grandson and asked him, "How did they meet?"
Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Because of a goose."
Xiao Deye glared at him fiercely, "Why are you also talking nonsense like this crazy girl now!"
"If I tell you, you won't believe me. Don't ask me again if you have any doubts in the future."
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were about to get into an argument again, Lin Suixiang and Lin Guanyan came over to mediate.
The guests attending Sixth Master's birthday banquet were all extraordinary people. Those with status like Xiao Deye were targets of much flattery.
It was rare to meet them normally, so they quickly found an excuse to strike up a conversation.
Xiao Yi slowly retreated to the side. Even though he had taken over the Xiao family's business, he would minimize his presence in similar occasions.
Holding a wine glass in his hand, his gaze drifted towards Xia Weiliang.
She was saying something to Sixth Master. She spoke with great seriousness, but Sixth Master listened and laughed heartily.
Xiao Yi chuckled. Perhaps even she herself hadn't realized that she possessed a special ability to make people around her relax involuntarily.
Sixth Master was in an exceptionally good mood. For those who came to congratulate him, he would merely glance and respond, all his attention focused on Xia Weiliang.
Xia Weiliang was eating exquisite desserts and asked curiously, "Grandpa, why did you acknowledge me as your granddaughter? With your status, let alone granddaughters, there are enough people who want to be your great-granddaughters to circle the tropical rainforest!"
She wasn't foolish, of course she could tell that Sixth Master's kindness towards her was a bit baffling.
Moreover, acknowledging her as a granddaughter felt too casual, as if it was a whim!
Sixth Master looked at her and smiled slightly, "You're right, there is indeed another reason."
