The door closed, and Shi Lingyan glanced at the doorway before turning his head and pecking her lips lightly. "Did you hear Grandma and Aunt Chen whispering just now?"
"What?" Shi Mei hadn't heard anything.
She had only caught a glimpse of Aunt Chen whispering to Grandma out of the corner of her eye. They looked very secretive.
They also glanced at them now and then, no doubt talking about them.
But Shi Mei knew, whatever was being discussed, it was probably the usual stuff, so she didn't really care what it was.
However, now that Shi Lingyan had asked, Shi Mei couldn't help but be curious, asking, "What were they saying?"
"Grandma just mentioned that you were called Xiao Wu and your surname used to be Tang, so combining those gives Tang Wu. Now your surname is Shi, putting them together, it's 'Dead Tang Wu.' They suspect you might be a ghost."
