Ji Xiangdong was startled by the images flashing through his mind. He quickly gathered his thoughts. But he wasn't one to easily move on from such incidents; he needed to think carefully about what was happening.
Xiaopang's antics brightened everyone's mood. Over lunch, Lu Songyuan couldn't help but drink a few extra glasses.
He took Ji Xiangdong by the hand and said, "Xiangdong, it's been thirty years, and I've never seen your mother this happy. It's good that you've returned. Very good."
After Ji Xiangdong talked about his adoptivefather, Lu Songyuan decided, "From now on, you don't need to change your surname to Lu. Just keep the surname Ji, named Xiangdong, and your future children will also carry the surname Ji. Don't forget the kindness of your rebirth parents."
In the afternoon, Liu Hongbing and his wife, Tian Yuanyuan, brought their son Liu Jiajia over.
