The system spirit’s body had become clearer and more realistic after the system upgrade.

After doing everything, Lisa prepared to go to sleep.

The phone vibrated, and she took it out to see that it was an invitation by Rosé to go eat at Xiao Manor the next day.

While the Nine Heavens Group would have its grand opening tomorrow, Lisa had gone through too much in her past life to be interested in such a small event, so she handed the entire project to Jinhee, and thinking of this she replied Rosé affirmatively.

Xiao Manor was particularly lively on that day, a complete contrast from how silent it was usually because Grandpa Xiao had never been one to like that sort of atmosphere, the young master had never been one to invite his friends over, and the young lady of the family had always been aloof, but something was different about that day.

The young lady of the Xiao family had a rare smile on her face, and the workaholic young master seemed a little relaxed, while the master of the manor seemed particularly amiable…

The maid that was in charge of pouring tea was newly hired, and she looked over at the unfamiliar boy and the girl at the stone table in the garden, and just from their silhouettes, she could tell that they were definitely good looking. She started standing on tiptoe to have a better look at them before a strict middle-aged woman spoke behind her, “Little Li, get to work!”

Little Li’s expression became pale from fright before she turned around and headed towards the kitchen. Right as she was about to leave, the girl at the stone table turned her head and their eyes met, and the clear eyes seemed as if they could stare into her very soul.

Little Li didn’t dare to keep looking and immediately hurried towards the kitchen.

Lisa finished preparing a pot of tea and poured one cup for Grandpa Xiao, before asking, “Grandpa Xiao, how have you been lately?”

“I jogged for an hour this morning, you tell me!” Grandpa Xiao chuckled. He had been following the medicine plan that Lisa had prescribed him for a few days, and he had started to visibly become healthier that even his old friend was surprised by how healthy he looked when they met that morning.

He was certainly satisfied with this friend of Rosé’s and practically treated Lisa as his granddaughter. If it weren’t for Rosé blocking him, he would have probably accepted the girl into Xiao Manor and started treating her like a treasure.

“You know about tea too?” Jimin felt as if there was some sort of magic at work as he looked at her hands working on the tea under the sunlight, and he couldn’t even avert his gaze.

“I’ve been practicing ways to show off all my life, you see.” Lisa smiled and poured a cup for Jimin, before talking to Grandpa Xiao again. “Have you been having trouble sleeping lately?”

It was normal for an old man to have inadequate sleep so even Grandpa Xiao himself didn’t really mind it because his health had become better, but as he looked at the girl and remembered how magical she was, he couldn’t help but ask, “Did you…See any problems?”

Lisa smiled and changed the subject, and Grandpa Xiao didn’t pursue the topic anymore, instead starting to ask them about how they did on the national finals.

It was already an extremely rare event that Rosé would invite her friends to Xiao Manor, so her brother was quite serious about receiving the two as well as possible, while Rosé herself stood there in the kitchen as she watched the chefs and helpers work on their meal.

She knew that they weren’t as good as cooking as Lisa was, but all she could do was to make sure that they cooked the best they could so she continued to keep an eagle’s eye on them, but it seemed as if it had the opposite effect.
