Chapter 816: Chapter 18 Family Portrait and Werewolf Kill (Extra chapter for monthly tickets!) Chapter 816: Chapter 18 Family Portrait and Werewolf Kill (Extra chapter for monthly tickets!) East Sea, Huangpu District, East Nanjing Road, Peace Hotel.
As the most iconic card in the architectural group of the Bund, the historic Peace Hotel has stood here for more than 100 years.
Although it’s not the most luxurious hotel in East Sea, nor is it the best-tasting one, whether for hosting a banquet or a get-together, choosing this place always ensures sufficient class and prestige.
Between the opulent and brightly lit North and South buildings, a distinctive red flag sedan and an Alphard Business Vehicle practically drove into the parking lot one after the other, then headed to converge in a private room.
“Good evening, Ms.
Zhao.”
A graceful and beautiful waitress, dressed in historical attire, bowed to Zhao Yingjun:
“Several guests are already waiting in the private room, may I ask if this is a family banquet today?”
“Yes.”
Zhao Yingjun nodded:
“Just a meal with the family, no need for any fuss or special arrangements.”
“Very well, please take your seat.
If you need anything, just call me.”
The waitress bowed and opened the door of the private room for Zhao Yingjun.

Inside.
Zhao Ruihai, Yan Mei, and Yan Qiaoqiao were already seated, waiting by the dining table.
Yan Qiaoqiao blinked, looking at the Pomeranian in Zhao Yingjun’s arms:
“Puppy.”
“V~~~~~”
The Pomeranian VV made a cheerful noise and leapt from Zhao Yingjun’s arms.
It dashed under the dining table, then with a poised jump, hopped onto Yan Qiaoqiao’s lap, before burrowing into her embrace.
“Puppy.”
Yan Qiaoqiao hugged VV, the fluffy Dandelion nestled in her petite arms, which made it seem somewhat swollen.
Visually, it was as if she was holding a young Alaskan dog.
“It’s called VV.”
Zhao Yingjun looked at the little girl cuddling with the Pomeranian:
“Just call it by its name, it seems to really like you.”
Yan Qiaoqiao lifted the Pomeranian by its armpits:
“VV.”
She called out the dog’s name softly.
“V~~~~~”
The Pomeranian happily responded.
Then.
Yan Qiaoqiao put the Pomeranian in a dish, with a serious look:
“Eat meat.”
“What?”
The Pomeranian VV’s fur poofed up in shock, turning into a Dandelion.
“Oh, Qiaoqiao, pets should not be put on the table!

It’s unhygienic!”
Yan Mei hurriedly took VV and placed it on the floor.
Then she set aside Yan Qiaoqiao’s dishes and utensils and called over a waitress:
“I’m sorry, could you please replace this set of tableware for us?
A dog has touched this set.”
Zhao Ruihai also sighed softly.
He felt that dinner had not even started yet, and it was already as chaotic as a battlefield, fraught with crises.
He gently stroked Yan Qiaoqiao’s head, persuading with tenderness:
“Qiaoqiao, today we have a very important guest to meet, a very nice uncle.
Be polite, in a formal setting like this, it’s different from home; rules are important.
Otherwise…
others might not like you, and they might make fun of your grandpa and grandma.”
“So, be good today, don’t fiddle around or talk out of turn.
Just sit here and eat properly.
If you want something, tell grandpa; after eating, there’s plenty of space in this room, you can take VV and play on the side.”
Yan Qiaoqiao obediently nodded her head.
She extended her right index finger, pointing to the temples of Zhao Ruihai:
“White hair.”
“Heh heh, that’s right, grandpa has white hair now, yes indeed, old already.
Come, help grandpa pull it out, let’s see if Qiaoqiao is strong!”
Saying this, Zhao Ruihai turned his head so that his temples were closer to Yan Qiaoqiao.
Unexpectedly, Yan Qiaoqiao was quick and sharp, with excellent dynamic vision.
With almost no hesitation or pause, nor any aiming gestures, she reached out to Zhao Ruihai’s ear, pinched from thin air, and pulled!
Before Zhao Ruihai could react…
The white hair was precisely pinched at the fingertips of Yan Qiaoqiao.
Zhao Ruihai was momentarily stunned.
This speed,
this strength,
these eyes,
were truly impressive!
Worthy of his granddaughter!
“Good!”
He could not help but praise:
“Look, Qiaoqiao really is improving rapidly, she changes for the better day by day.
Raising Qiaoqiao is such a rewarding experience, with visible progress every day.”
“That’s for sure!”
Yan Mei, too, was bursting with pride:
“Our Qiaoqiao is very talented, I’ve noticed that early on.
Not only does she learn things quickly, but her hearing, vision, and coordination of hands and feet are all very good.”
“Look at how she helped old Zhao pull out a white hair just now, smooth as flowing water, so precise.
If you ask me, with hands like these, she could become a doctor in the future, perform surgeries, or make a great candidate for cutting-edge research.”
“Heh heh,” Zhao Yingjun unexpectedly laughed:
“Are you really treating her like a three-year-old child?
She’s in her teens, it’s normal to have this kind of hand-eye coordination, don’t indulge in nonsense here.”
“And moreover, she didn’t start from scratch, she just has amnesia.
After Professor Xu Yun died, I learned some things about hibernation, about the side effects of amnesia.
This type of pure memory loss actually doesn’t affect listening, speaking, reading, writing abilities, or physical coordination.”
“Even if Qiaoqiao’s memory ultimately can’t be recovered, the most basic listening, speaking, reading, writing abilities and motor skills will recover quickly…
so don’t continue to treat her like a child.
Set rules where they must be set, and scold if necessary.”
“If you miss this best period for cognitive and literacy guidance, not forming good habits and manners, it will be difficult to correct that later.”
However…
As Zhao Yingjun earnestly discussed parenting principles,
the grandparents, busy boasting about their granddaughter, hadn’t listened to a single word.
In their view,
Their granddaughter was the best in everything.
