“Uncle Grant, are you unwell? I’lle over and check on you now.”
“Okay.”
The Grant Family Estate.
When Shihua arrived, she was greeted by Charlotte. Always adept at social niceties, Shihua gave
Charlotte due respect, despite feeling somewhat superior deep down
student.
after all, she was Ethan’s mother’s
“Shihua,e in,e in. It’s been years, I’ve missed you,” Charlotte weed her, dressed in a
way that unted her affluent status,
neither modest nor excessively showy.
Handing the gifts she brought to a servant, Shihua engaged in small talk with Charlotte, “How have
you and Uncle Grant been keeping?”
“We’re fine, have a seat.”
Upstairs.
Julius sauntered down, and out of the corner of her eye, Shihua mistook the silhouette for a family
pet – perhaps a ma, given his light-colored garments that matched the animal’s wool.
A twitch yed at the corner of Shihua’s mouth as she took in Julius’s attire. She had heard that
this illegitimate child put forth a strong front but was quite the opposite internally. It seemed to her
that he was not only weak on the outside but on the inside as well.
Julius, looking ragged from staying upte gaming and mingling with the streamers from his
broadcastingpany, sported increasingly apparent dark circles. Paired with his slight frame, he
looked utterly wilted.

“Mom, this is…?”
Julius hadn’t met Shihua before.
Charlotte introduced her, “This is Shihua, a professional pilot, quite famous abroad. You should call
her sister.’
Julius was instantly captivated by Shihua’s appearance, her air of
pride particrly intriguing to him. The more aloof a woman, the
more he wanted to conquer her.
Shihua, detecting the greed in Julius’s eyes, felt a touch of disdain.
Yet she extended her hand politely, “Nice to meet you.”
Julius eagerly took her hand, his thumb caressing the back of her hand more than was necessary. If
not for serious matters at hand, Shihua might have responded with a p.
For now, she maintained a tight-lipped smile and gently withdrew her hand.
“Is Uncle Grant upstairs? I would like to see him,” said Shihua.
Charlotte nodded, “He’s upstairs, go on.”
Shihua bypassed Julius without a nce and ascended the stairs.
In the upstairs bedroom.
Mason had just finished reprimanding Julius and was catching his breath when a knock came at the
door. He mistook the visitor for the Xin family and snapped, “Get out!”
Shihua paused mid-knock, “Uncle?”
Inside, Mason was taken aback, “Shihua?”
“Uncle Grant, what has you so upset?” Shihua hurried in, full of concern and niceties.

Mason, seeing Shihua, softened as if she were his own daughter, his demeanor much kinder than
towards Julius.
“When did you get back? Why didn’t you tell me in advance? I would have weed you properly,”
Mason said warmly.

Shihua doted on Mason like a daughter, serving tea and making
pleasant conversation, each word seemingly tailored for him.
The more Mason watched her, the more he felt his own sons were a wasted effort.
“I didn’t want to bother mentioning it, Uncle, but…” Shihua’s cheeks flushed subtly, “I’m not nning
to leave the country this time. I’ll stay and develop my career here. As you know, Ethan and I aren’t
getting any younger. We can’t always be running around abroad.”
Mason read between the lines of her words.
He liked Shihua a great deal and would be more than happy to have her as his daughter-inw.
“Do you know if Ethan is aware of your return?” Mason always referred to his son by his full name.
Shihua was used to this and felt at ease.
“He knows,” Shihua smiled wistfully, “But he’s tied up with his work, training pilots for thepany. I
didn’t want to disturb him.”
As a sessful business magnate, Mason understood the subtext.
Training pilots?
When had Ethan’s work involved training pilots?
However, he had heard rumors about his son getting close to a female pilot, apanied by
persistent gossip.
Mason pondered for a moment before saying, “When you have time,

Shihua felt more stable upon hearing Mason’s words, her smile growing more pronounced.
“Of course, Uncle.”
Back at Mukino Airlines.
In the Flight Department.
Frank, having received Madison’spetition form mailed back from Hesu City, scrutinized a
particr section for a long time.
He then picked up Shihua’s form.
Why…
Why were their ‘Marital Status’ sections identical? And the partner’s name the same?
The assistant from the Flight Department, standing behind Frank, leaned in to help inspect.
Both peered back and forth like seasoned yers of a spot-the- difference game.
“If I’m not going blind, those are the same phone and ID numbers, right?”
The assistant nodded slowly, “It’s impossible for two people to have the same ID number.”
Frank’s expression grew serious.
Then, the assistant gasped in shock, “Has the Chairman been two- timing?!”

“Shut up!” Frank hissed, “Keep it down.”
He mped a hand over the assistant’s mouth, frowning, “I can’t submit this. If this affects the
Chairman’s romance, I’ll be out of a job.
“What should we do?”
Frank bit his lip, thinking hard, and finally decided, “I’ll text the
Chairman on W******p.”
“Ha!”
“What’s so funny?”
The assistant quickly sobered up, “Manager Xiao, the Chairman is such a busy man, and you’re
texting him on W******p?”
Frank was already typing away, “He’s on vacation now.”
As soon as the message was sent, Frank watched the iing call alert with bated breath.
Sitting up straight, he answered, “Ah, President Grant.”
The deep voice on the other end spoke, “You message me for this?”
“What should I…” Frank was in a tight spot.
Ethan said, “Void that form and have her fill out a new one.”
“Right away!”
That’s all Frank needed – with the Chairman’s support, he feared nothing!
But it was toote; as he was about to ask Shihua to refill the form, rumors spread that Director
Jiang was actually Shihua’s boyfriend.
The gossip spread like wildfire, reaching Madison’s ears.
She nced at the message on the screen and then at the man adusting her hem.
Ethan, did your soul wander off and cheat on me?”
