"Goodbye, Sixth Grand-uncle."
Tang Xiao'nan waved obediently and left with her three brothers. 'The first wave of brownie points was a resounding success,' she thought. 'I'll take it slow. Sooner or later, the Thorne family will change.'
'Winning the "Model Family" award is just a pretense. I'm not very confident about it, but it's an excellent excuse. As long as the Thorne family doesn't have a bad reputation, I'll be perfectly happy.'
Shane Thorne smiled faintly, feeling a bit more fond of Tang Xiao'nan. He used to think this grandniece of his was terribly ill-mannered. Believing that a child's character is set by age three, he'd had little confidence in her future. But now, it seemed his judgment had been mistaken. This grandniece was pretty, clever, and adorable, with a poised and open demeanor. Her future probably wouldn't be bad.
