Chi Wan asked the same question. "Hello, and you are...?"
The distinguished-looking man in a well-tailored suit extended a hand from behind the box. "Hello, you must be Chi Wan? My name is Xiahou Yu. My grandfather, Xu Qiannian, contacted you before. I'm here to deliver the flowers."
'Xiahou Yu? Did he take his mother's surname?'
Seeing the large box in his hands, Chi Wan quickly stepped aside to let him in. As she led him to the flower room, she asked curiously, "Didn't Grandpa Xu say he was coming himself?"
Following Chi Wan's directions, Xiahou Yu placed the large box on a table at the entrance to the flower room. He smiled at her question. "Something came up for him last minute, so he asked me to bring it over. He said it's a thank-you gift, paid in advance."
At his words, Chi Wan carefully opened the box. Inside, to her surprise, was a Zhang Yulan orchid.
