Elder Mrs. Gu was celebrating her ninetieth birthday, when the Earl, who was supposed to be in a neighboring country, suddenly arrived...
This unexpected honor brought such joy to elder Mrs. Gu that her aged eyes narrowed into crescents with laughter. "Earl, what brings you here?"
The Earl, with his distinctly square face, looked to be in his sixties, exuding a warm and approachable demeanor.
Seeing elder Mrs. Gu personally come out to greet him, he also beamed with delight. "Teacher, how could I not come for such an important occasion as your ninetieth birthday?"
Hearing that, elder Mrs. Gu grew even more delighted. "But didn't you just go abroad?"
"Coming back a day early doesn't make much of a difference..."
But how could a single day's difference not matter? For the Earl to rush back specifically to wish her a happy birthday, cutting his plans short, spoke volumes about the respect he held for her.
Realizing this, elder Mrs. Gu couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
