Chapter 417: Thank You, Grandma

Ming Dongmei left the crew and continued to visit Hengdian with the staff.2

She was in a good mood.

After visiting the main photography areas, Ming Dongmei saw a street food stall with the traditional Chinese delicacy — fried glutinous balls.

Ming Dongmei knew about this kind of street food. Her sister used to sneak out of the house to play and always brought back a string of fried glutinous balls. The glutinous rice dough was rolled into a ball and fried into a hollow ball in the hot oil with syrup. Then, they would sprinkle some sesame seeds on it. The taste was sweet and fragrant.

"Mrs. Ming, Hengdian's food street is in front of us. Do you want to try our authentic Chinese food?" The attendant observed Ming Dongmei's expression and took the initiative to invite her.

Ming Dongmei waved her hand. "Wait for me here. I want to buy some for myself."

"Ah... Okay."

The street was bustling with activity. Ming Dongmei walked to the small shop selling fried glutinous balls. Before she got close, a small soft figure suddenly bumped into her.

"Ouch." Gu Chu held her forehead.

Ming Dongmei stopped and looked down at the little girl. "Why are you running around without watching?"

A while ago, Song Chen brought Chuchu along to meet Ming Dongmei. However, Gu Chu kept a low profile and didn't show herself in front of Ming Dongmei, so Ming Dongmei didn't know that the little girl in front of her was Gu Manxi and Song Chen's child.

Gu Chu held her forehead and said in a wronged tone, "Why aren't you looking where you're going? Other people always look where they're going. Grandma, you always keep your chin up when you walk."

Ming Dongmei smiled. Whose child was this? She really knew how to argue with logic.

It was obvious that she had just arrived, but this child had recklessly rammed into her, and now she was biting her back.

"I don't look old. Why did you call me Grandma?" Ming Dongmei asked.

Gu Chu said seriously, "Because I saw that you have a lot of white hair. If you have white hair, you should be as old as Grandma."

For some reason, Ming Dongmei was touched when she heard the child call her "Grandma.".

Ming Dongmei was almost fifty years old, but she had never had a child.

If she had gotten married earlier, her grandson might have been as old and as cute as the little girl in front of her. Thinking of this, Ming Dongmei's expression softened, and she looked at Gu Chu with more affection.

"I'm almost 50, so I should be a grandmother." Ming Dongmei smiled.

Gu Chu tilted her small head and sized up this beautiful middle-aged woman. Mrs. Ming of the Ming Corporation was already 49 years old this year. Her white hair was not deliberately dyed black, leaving traces of age behind. However, she maintained it very well, and her skin looked like that of a woman in her thirties.

Her figure, appearance, and temperament all showed the demeanor of a strong woman.

"Grandma, do you also want to eat fried glutinous balls?" Gu Chu asked, pretending to be curious. In fact, Gu Chu begged her uncle to bring her here today to find out Ming Dongmei's schedule. This strong woman who was swift and decisive would come to visit Hengdian.

Gu Chu guessed that this woman would definitely come to threaten Gu Manxi. 

Out of worry, Gu Chu came over without stopping, wanting to meet this lady.

"Yes, I want to have some fried glutinous balls." Ming Dongmei smiled lovingly. "Would you like one?"

Gu Chu: "Yes! Thank you, Grandma!"

Ming Dongmei bought two servings of fried glutinous balls and handed one to Gu Chu. The two sat on a bench by the food street and tasted the delicacies. Gu Chu sat on the bench and shook her feet. Her big black eyes looked at Ming Dongmei for a long time.

Ming Dongmei turned her head and asked, "Why do you keep staring at me?"
