Leilei, welcome. I trust the drive here was pleasant?

I turned to see the grandma walking towards me from one of the doors that leads to God knows where.

Looking at the grandma as she walks towards me, i resisted the urge to courtesy for she looks so in tune with the place, like a queen in her kingdom.

Good day grandma i managed to find my voice as i bowed.

Come my dear; she said as she took me to a smaller room that looks like a study.

Sit down my dear.

Seo-yung, make sure we are not disturbed.

Bowing his head, seo-yung left and shut the door behind him.

Now my dear, tell me, how are you?

I heard the question however my head is some place else. I'm trying to figure out whose family is this. As a Jin my family is among the higher echelon of the society, that means i practically know everyone that is worth knowing in the country, or at least i used to know.

This is not the house of the president, for even the presidential quarters is not this grand. And this mysterious grandma, surely for one living in such a place, she should be famous in the society.

And then it clicked.

I gasped; you are the matriach of the Gu family i whispered as i looked at her wide eyed.

Took you long enough, she chuckled.

Hello leilei, i'm Gu Meili, but you can call me grandma.
