Those who were sitting at other tables and knew Xiao Yao could indeed be described with the phrase "dumbstruck." Xiao Yao really had a knack for charming the elderly; each senior looked at her fondly and treated her with great affection. If any other child her age could receive the care of an elder, they would be so overjoyed they might think they could fly to heaven.
Even Jian Aiguo, the mayor of Xiangjiang City, had to admit that Xiao Yao was truly intelligent. Even though there was a red birthmark on her face, which in others' eyes might make her an ugly freak, she, known by such a reputation, treated every elder with neither servility nor overbearing pride, maintaining her composure, poise, and confidence.
