Lu Yang and Zhao Xinxin had no idea that the man making amends with a thorned branch was Lu Zhiyuan, nor did they, unlike Lu Qingqing, know that their grandfather had an adopted son, so the couple were quite surprised.
Before they had a chance to speak, the front door opened at that moment.
It was Lu's father who came out, sighing at the man at the door, "Dad told you to come in and talk."
Lu Yang heard the man who was making amends with a thorned branch call his father by name, softly, "Mingzhi, Da he..."
Actually, their generation referred to their parents as Da and Niang. Da is a local dialect for father and it means father or dad, and later it was changed to baba and mama, but Lu Zhiyuan never changed it before he went abroad.
"He's doing very well," Lu's father interrupted him, "Qingqing said she saw you in France, and Dad has been waiting for you at home."
Hearing this, Lu Yang couldn't help but gape.
