Grandpa Pei looked at Mei Mengzhen with a satisfied nod, his manners refined and his words cordial. "Zhenzhen, your brother just said you've been accepted into a university here. Which one is it?"
"Jiangcheng University, Computer Department."
Grandpa Pei looked even more pleased now. "Oh, my grandson also went to Jiangcheng University, but he was in the Law Department. He just graduated with a master's degree this year. You two missed each other, otherwise you'd have been classmates."
This "classmate" talk felt a little forced; after all, they weren't the same year or even the same department, so even if they were in the same school, there'd hardly be any real connection. But right now, she felt as if Grandpa Pei was deliberately trying to get closer to them.
Of course, maybe it was just her imagination—why would a chef want to get chummy with the two of them, anyway?
"Can I ask a bit about your family circumstances?"
