Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Sisters Reunite After Decades
Just by opening this one door, she would be able to see the sister she hadn’t seen in decades.
For a mont, Professor Ning felt sowhat hesitant.
Although the ring had confird so of her suspicions, she still had not conclusively determined if it was indeed her older sister.
Dean Han didn’t rush his wife standing beside him, knowing she was nervous, because opening this door would determine if it was her long-lost aunt, right?
“I’ll do it.”
Professor Ning still refused to let Dean Han open the door for her.
Yun Xiaoxiao knew how tense and anxious Professor Ning was.
She feared it might be a wasted trip since there were too many coincidences at play.
Nevertheless, Professor Ning raised her hand and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?” A voice ca from inside; Yun Xiaoxiao recognized it as Aunt Li, the housekeeper.
She took care of the two elders’ three als a day, did laundry, and cleaned, earning a decent monthly wage.
“Coming.”
Although the person outside didn’t respond, Aunt Li still went to open the door.
At first sight of Professor Ning, she was confused, but upon seeing Yun Xiaoxiao, she paused for a mont, “Xiaoxiao…” This was the youngest granddaughter of the old lady.
Hadn’t she returned to Capital City?
Hadn’t she gone back early to wait for the start of the school term?
How co she suddenly appeared here?
“Aunt Li, are my Grandma and Grandpa at ho?”
Although Aunt Li was puzzled, she didn’t voice her questions. Seeing that Yun Xiaoxiao had co with two companions, it must be for the sake of the old couple. She quickly stepped aside to let them in.
“Yes, they’re at ho. Please co in quickly,” Aunt Li imdiately invited them in.
Grandma Yun and Grandpa Yun were in the living room, listening to the radio while warming themselves by the fire.
“Old lady, look who’s here?”
Grandma Yun, hearing Aunt Li’s voice, looked up towards the entrance and saw three people coming in, one of them a familiar figure.
“Xiaoxiao…”
“Grandma…”
Yun Xiaoxiao, smiling, put down her suitcase and quickly stepped forward, “Grandma, look who she is?”
Professor Ning observed the figure seated in the chair with white hair and a face weathered by ti, the deep-set eyes, yet the hair neatly arranged, hardly showing any resemblance to her appearance in youth.
Grandma Yun looked towards Professor Ning and Dean Han, finally resting her gaze on Professor Ning, tentatively calling out, “Xiangxiang…”
Upon hearing this, Professor Ning’s eyes imdiately filled with tears, and she hurriedly threw herself into Grandma Yun’s arms.
“Big sister, I’m Xiangxiang, I’ve co back, I’ve co back.”
Grandma Yun was also tearful at that mont, her slightly drooping eyes brimming with tears, “Xiangxiang, little sister, you’re back.”
The two n standing by, both of no young age, were worriedly watching their own wives.
Yun Xiaoxiao, watching from the side, was also moved.
The sisters had finally reunited after decades.
Separated in their youth, only to et now in their old age.
If not for fate, they might have never set eyes on each other in this lifeti.
Aunt Li was still sowhat stunned by it all.
It was as if she were witnessing a scene of family reunion.
“Auntie, we haven’t eaten yet, could you make us sothing to eat?”
Aunt Li responded at once, “Okay, I’ll go right now, right now.”
Fearing they had rushed here straight from the train.
“Alright, no more crying, no more crying. My Xiao Xiangxiang is all grown up now; you can’t cry anymore,” Grandma Yun said, using her hands, now reduced to layers of skin, to wipe away Professor Ning’s tears.
“Big sister, I’m not that much of a crier, really,” Professor Ning said, choking back sobs.
Actually, when she was sent abroad all those years ago, she had cried many tis.
