Old Master Lian was a man concerned with appearances; when attending banquets, he didn't like to bring children with him. Xiao Qi went with him only because he was the youngest grandson, and it was a joyful celebration of the Wu Family, to which the Lian Family was related, that Old Master Lian finally took him along.
As for little girls like Lian Manman and Lian Yeye, they generally had no opportunity to go to such events when they were young.
The idea of sitting at a banquet with a group of children of a similar age, as they were doing now, had never even crossed their minds.
Lian Manman peeled a fruit for Xiao Qi and casually surveyed the room.
