On the way back, Charlie asked Paul, "By the way, what has Aunt Hall been up to lately?" 6
Paul replied, "My mother recently enjoys going to Senior University. An old friend of hers invited her over to be a visiting professor at the Senior University. She is specializing in teaching senior citizens about the legal system." 4
"Oh?" Charlie was very surprised, and he asked, "Then, wouldn't Aunt Hall be Professor Hall now?"
Paul laughed as he said, "She is not really a professor. I n fact, Senior University is also not a university in the true sense. It is just a college providing training classes for the elderly. Although my mother is teaching a class there, she is also attending some calligraphy and traditional painting classes there as well. She is very busy every day now." 9
After that, Paul asked curiously, "What has Uncle Wilson been up to lately? My mother often brings him up, but it seems as though she is always hesitating and swallowing back her words whenever she wants t o talk."
Charlie felt that Paul was not an outsider. So, he sighed as he said, "When Aunt Hall and you returned t o the country, my mother-in-law had disappeared during that time, but she is back now." 9
As he spoke, Charlie continued explaining, "My mother -in-law has a very aggressive personality. That is why my father-in-law is also a little afraid. He is afraid that my mother-in-law will look for Aunt Hall and cause trouble for her if she finds out that Aunt Hall is back in the country. So, he does not dare to ask Aunt Hall out." 2
Paul nodded lightly before he sighed and said, "Well, I guess it is really hard for us to interfere with the matters of our parents' generation."
At this time, Charlie's cell phone started ringing. It turned out to be Jasmine, whom he had not seen for many days. 9
He answered the phone before he smiled and said," Miss Moore, what have you been up to lately?" 1
Jasmine laughed slightly before she said, "I am just slightly busy, but I am definitely not as busy as you are, Master Wade."
At this time, Jasmine asked curiously, "Master Wade, will you be free the night after tomorrow?”
Charlie thought for a moment before he said, "It seems as though I will have nothing going on. What is the matter?" 1
Jasmine smiled before she said, "It's nothing much. I just wanted to invite you to come over here to have a meal at our house. Grandpa keeps talking about you anyway.”
Charlie smiled before he replied, "Alright, then. I will g o over to your house for dinner the day after
tomorrow.” 1
