"Grandpa Zhao." In the sight of Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao quickly appeared an elderly man dressed in a medieval tailcoat with slicked-back hair. Just as Lin Mengyao was guessing his identity, Xu Ke took the lead, carrying the luggage and holding Lin Mengyao’s hand, and walked towards the elderly man.

The two stopped one step away from each other. Housekeeper Zhao looked at them with a kindly expression and, catching Lin Mengyao off guard, bent down and gave them a standard courtly bow.

"Welcome back, Family Head and Lady. Please get in the car." Housekeeper Zhao took the luggage from Xu Ke’s hand and gestured for them to follow him.

Lin Mengyao was startled by the sudden formality of Housekeeper Zhao, and she subtly scratched Xu Ke’s palm, giving him a questioning look.

Xu Ke smiled and whispered in Lin Mengyao’s ear, "I forgot to tell you, Grandpa Zhao has been my grandfather’s butler for decades. He actually graduated from a butler school, so he’s particularly attentive to etiquette. Don’t mind it." Xu Ke shook Lin Mengyao’s hand and added softly, "He’s easy to get along with. If you have any requests, just tell Grandpa Zhao. Being too respectful might make him uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mengyao nodded and, led by Housekeeper Zhao, got into the extended Lincoln.

The opulent decor inside, in black and gold, struck the eye, immediately evoking a sense of the owner’s wealth and power. It was like stepping into a scene from a movie, leaving Lin Mengyao momentarily gaping in astonishment.

Lin Mengyao closed her gaping mouth and looked at
