Butler Lu came over with a few soldiers to surround the old man. Before the graduation ceremony started, the old man didn't allow them to come in with him, so they had no choice but to wait outside for him.
Questions like, 'Were you invited for this ceremony, Are you interested in the fashion industry, and what do you have to say about the best graduating student?' were asked.
Grandfather Fu was very happy to reply to the third question. He was proud to talk about her beloved granddaughter-in-law.
Grandfather Fu replied to a few of their questions cheerfully before his escorts cleared the path for him.

"It's nothing. I came here to cheer you up as you ended up making all of us proud, it's worth the trip. I don't have enough time to stay, I have to travel to the filming location right away, I have a scene to shoot tomorrow morning." Fu Meixu said to her.
"Thank you for coming." Jia Li said to her in a grateful tone.
Fu Meixu took a few shots with her before leaving hurriedly, as she didn't want to miss her flight.

"She is my cousin-in-law, I have never met my sister-in-law before." Jia Li revealed.
"Why is that?" Daiyu asked in surprise.
"She's not in the country." Jia Li replied.
"Oh..."
Jia Li was looking around when she caught sight of Grandfather Fu walking towards her. She walked out to him excitedly and ran towards him with her awards.
"Grandfather!"
