Zheng Shangming was also quite delighted, "I heard a while ago that you had returned to Linzi. I even visited you at Xia Shan Villa, but you weren't there. I didn't expect to see you now!"

Jiang Wang personally felt that the reserved manner in which they first met was more genuine, but he also knew that people change to some extent.
Perhaps it could be called... "growth."
