Zhang Mei, still processing the bombshell of information, finally managed to utter, "So, you mean you are a member of one of the richest families?" Li Chen, with a hint of understatement, replied, "You can say that, yes." Tang Ziyi, wide-eyed, expressed his astonishment, "Wow, never thought I would be friends with someone from the Sun family." Xu Zhonhao, his curiosity piqued, inquired, "So where is your mother now?" Li Chen, with a smile that hinted at a mix of emotions, answered, "I will be meeting her tomorrow for lunch. You guys will meet her very soon."
Zhang Mei, still absorbing the magnitude of the revelation, genuinely remarked, "I am happy for you, Li Chen. I am happy that your mother is actually alive." Li Chen, with a nod and a grateful smile, replied, "I am also glad." The weight of the unspoken years of longing and the sudden discovery of family resonated in the room.
