Uncle Wen sighed quietly to himself just as he saw Lin Qing help Zhu Xiangxiang into the living room.
On hearing Madam Zhou's startled, pitch-altered gasp, followed by Granny Zhu's contemptuous exclamation of "ridiculous", Uncle Wen felt a disquiet in his heart. Once again, The Zhu family was headed for turmoil.
A jarring racket echoed, as Zhu Shaodan arrived on a motorcycle. He barely stopped the bike before eager questioning, "Is my sister back?"
Uncle Wen nodded, watching as the young man rushed forward like a gust of wind.
The siblings, long separated, embraced each other enthusiastically.
Zhu Xiangxiang asked, "Where's Ming Jing?"
As her words fell, the entire living room was instantly struck winter-still.
Lin Qing and Zhu Shaodan fell into simultaneous silence.
Granny Zhu cast a glance at Madam Zhou, who replied, "Madam is in the garden."
