Chapter 768: Chapter 754 Pick Up People

Those who snagged tickets were showing off, while those who didn’t were wailing, and in short, the top trending topics of the day were practically monopolized by them.

The resort area was in full swing preparing for tomorrow’s opening, and thankfully, the recent upgrade had helped many crops mature and even the livestock had grown significantly, so there was more than enough food in reserve.

In the afternoon, reminded by Xia Yu, Xia Yue finally remembered the wild animals in the Pet House, and had Xuanxuan take them away, as there would be too many people when it opened tomorrow. She was genuinely afraid of accidents happening, not afraid of people hurting the animals but the other way around; neither scenario was desirable.

As for the tigers, leopards and Heixiong that owed her favors, she brought them inside the Mansion. The Mansion had plenty of room to stay, was spacious with few people, and they could move about freely without worrying about them escaping.

Having taken care of the animals, Xia Yue suddenly recalled that the elders hadn’t been brought back yet. Initially, she thought of asking Yan Mo for help, but remembering that he was busy, she gathered Xia Yu, Xia Xi, and Mo Si to pick them up together.

The group of old gentlemen and ladies breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were finally remembered, then put on an act of being angry, questioning if they had been forgotten there.

Xia Yu, the honest one, had indeed forgotten they were still there; had Xia Yue not mentioned it, it wouldn’t have crossed his mind.

"The resort has been really busy recently, and we received some important guests, so we entertained them first. That’s why we’re only coming to pick you up now. We’re truly sorry for the long wait," Xia Xi spoke up before Xia Yu could, not mentioning the oversight but rather explaining that they had been delayed.

"What kind of important guests needed all of your attention? I think you just forgot about us," the elder Xia deduced from Xia Yu’s expression, amused. He might not know Xia Xi well, but how could he not understand Xia Yu, his grandson whom he had watched grow up? That guilty look on his face was a dead giveaway.

"Grandpa, don’t be angry. We really did get too busy, and here I am, coming to pick you up as soon as I remembered. Please don’t be mad, mad doesn’t look good on you. You’re the coolest old man in my eyes, and if you got angry and ugly, that would ruin my perfect image of you," Xia Yue said, immediately hugging his arm and acting coquettishly as soon as she saw him getting genuinely upset.

The elder Xia hadn’t planned on getting angry; he was just expressing minor discomfort, but hearing Xia Yue’s words made all the dissatisfaction vanish. He wanted to be the coolest old man in his granddaughter’s eyes and couldn’t let anyone else take his place.

"Grandpa, Granny, and all the other grandpas and grannies, come back with us. We’ve prepared lots of delicious food today, and the resort has really changed a lot. Tomorrow, you can join the tourists for fun, especially in Fantasy Space, which has seen enormous changes. I’ve secured good spots for you so you won’t have to queue with the others but can go straight in," Xia Yue said while noticing his softening attitude and pressing her advantage.

The group of old gentlemen and ladies were also following the news about Four Seasons Resort online and had seen the promotional video, so they were indeed looking forward to the new Fantasy Space.

The thought of Xia Yue’s words made them even more excited now.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pack up, and bring the grandparents back with us," noticing the mood shift, Xia Yue quickly called out to Xia Yu, Xia Xi, and Mo Yao.

Then, she said to the old gentlemen and ladies, "Please have a seat, grandparents. We’ll pack your things, and then we can go home together."

After speaking, she didn’t give them time to react and just started packing up herself.

They didn’t have many belongings to pack, mainly some clothes to change into. But with the large number of people, it took Xia Yue and the other three an hour to finish packing.

They had driven three cars over, one for luggage and the other two for passengers.

Since Xia Yue had sent people to take care of them, she told those people to follow them back.

Xia Yue arranged for everyone to stay inside the Mansion, which made sense since Wei Se and others were already accommodated there, so a few more people didn’t matter.

The elder Xia and his wife had a separate courtyard, while the other elders were divided into two courtyards. There were plenty of rooms in the courtyards, so it wasn’t very crowded.

The courtyards were next door to elder Xia’s, not too far at all.

Yan Mo, after finishing work outside, passed by the garden and was surprised to see the elders sitting leisurely there.

Then he remembered he had forgotten about them and felt a flash of guilt about something he hadn’t done.

Despite his reluctance, he went ahead to greet them. If he didn’t, his grandfather might scold him later, so it was better to face them now.

"Good day, Grandpa, and to all the distinguished elders and ladies," Yan Mo approached with a smile on his face and greeted them.

"Hmph," grandpa Yan huffed upon seeing him. He was miffed that his own grandson was there, yet he had not come to get him, unlike Xia Yue and her siblings. The comparison made him feel like an abandoned old man left behind by his grandson, and now that Yan Mo appeared, he felt irritated.

"Is that you, Yan Mo? Finished with work?" elder Xia greeted him with a smile.

When they went to pick up the elders, Xia Yue had explained to grandpa Yan that Yan Mo was tied up with work, so only the four of them with nothing much to do had come to pick them up.

"Not yet, I just came back to get some materials and saw that you had returned, so I wanted to say hello," Yan Mo shook his head.

"Young man, no matter how busy you are, take care of your health. There’s plenty of time ahead. And don’t mind your grandpa’s grouching. Yueyue said you were busy, so you didn’t have time to pick us up. He’s just being cranky," elder Xia said with a laugh.

"It’s alright, I really did forget to come pick everyone up because of work. I’m just glad Xia Yue remembered," Yan Mo understood his own grandpa’s temperament well and knew why he was upset; he didn’t find it troublesome.

"Right. Yueyue, along with Xixi, Xiaoyu, and Xixi’s friend came to help move stuff. I must say, the resort looks even better now, the air is fresher, and once back, we feel so much more refreshed," elder Xia nodded, sharing his feelings.

"I feel the same. I thought it was just the joy of getting back that made me feel this way," Lin, the other gentleman, immediately agreed.

The other elders chimed in with their own comments, ignoring grandpa Yan sitting sullenly aside.

Grandpa Yan could only glare at Yan Mo.

Yan Mo touched his nose, a trace of helpless amusement in his eyes as he looked at him, thinking that if he didn’t appease him, he was likely to throw a tantrum. He was really like an old child, more childish than a child indeed.
