Chapter 768: Chapter 768 She Can’t Find Them
“My little sister is still so beautiful,” Grandma Yun said with a smile as she looked at the person in front of her.
Dean Han had to watch not only his wife but also his aunt, fearing that she, being old, might faint from excitent.
At her age, the chance of having a stroke from fainting was quite high.
“I am already old.”
Grandma Yun pulled Professor Ning aside to sit, and the two sisters began to talk.
Watching Yun Xiaoxiao on the side, everyone was sowhat puzzled.
“Grandma, Professor Ning, why did you recognize each other upon eting after so many decades? Isn’t it harder to recognize each other with such big changes?”
The sisters looked at each other and smiled.
Professor Ning explained, “First is the feeling, second is the birthmark, and third is the sound of your grandma calling , which I have always rembered.”
Was that so?
Yun Xiaoxiao was perplexed.
She truly felt that so people change so much that even twins, one raised in the south and the other in the north, would look different when they et.
“Xiangxiang, did you seek refuge with your uncle after you went abroad?”
Professor Ning began to talk about her experience of going abroad years ago.
“My nanny and I went to seek refuge with my uncle, who treated very well. Knowing the tense situation back ho, he urged to stay put while he inquired about our family’s situation.”
Years ago, Grandma Yun had sent her sister to their uncle abroad, also because this uncle was their biological uncle, who was very kind to them and not much older than them. Although sowhat unreliable, staying with him was still better than staying at ho.
“But he could never find any news, and I couldn’t return ho either. My uncle had no choice but to stop inquiring about you all. At that ti, I decided to focus on my studies, thinking that by the ti I returned ho, everything would have settled down.”
She had not expected it to drag on until she graduated from university. She insisted on returning to her holand, and with no choice left, her uncle pulled so strings to send her back.
But she had not anticipated that upon her return, her ho would no longer exist.
She had no idea where her siblings had gone, nor where her parents were.
She couldn’t find them.
She inquired everywhere until she was nearly out of the money she had brought back from abroad; then she had to find a job to support herself.
Having returned from studying abroad, she took up a teaching position at a university, where she t the man who would beco her love.
“Big sister, it should have been facing it all with you, but I turned out to be a deserter,” she said.
Grandma Yun patted her hand, “No, you are outstanding. My Xiangxiang is a scholar who studied abroad, and now a professor—truly amazing.”
Then she turned to Dean Han, “This must be your husband?”
Grandma Yun, who had been educated among the elite Eight Banner descendants, asked.
Dean Han imdiately introduced himself, “Big sister, hello, my surna is Han.”
He was of humble origin and knew that his wife had co from the prestigious Eight Banner descendants, and that his father-in-law had once been an official, his wife a lady from an official family.
Seeing his wife quite circumspect, Professor Ning just smiled.
Grandpa Yun was still reserved, “Little sister, hello, I am your brother-in-law, my surna is Li.”
“Hello, brother-in-law,” Professor Ning nodded.
That constituted their formal greetings.
“Big sister, you don’t know, when I first saw Xiaoxiao, I felt like I was seeing you, she really looks a lot like you,” he said.
Grandpa Yun agreed, saying, “She does look very much alike.”
Back then, it had been a stroke of great luck for him to marry into his wife’s family.
Professor Ning continued, “At that mont, I wondered if she could be my niece. I wanted to ask her, but I was also afraid to ask. If I didn’t ask, you all would still be living, big sister, I was truly afraid.”
