"I've been pretty busy lately, so I didn't give notice, but now that I've finished everything, isn't it time to come back and celebrate?" Lin Yifan replied with a smile.
"Indeed, indeed! A man's ambition lies in all corners of the world, and career is important," the uncle and auntie said.
The way Lin Yifan looked now really opened their eyes; on him, they could not detect a trace of his rustic origins, as if he had undergone a metamorphosis.
"Uncle and auntie are biased, not thinking of your niece, Xiaolian." Xiaolian came over, pouting, with an unhappy face.
"Oh! Xiaolian, you're back too? That's so wonderful! All these years, we've been hoping for you to return for a reunion," the uncle and auntie walked over and took her hand.
Xiaolian had grown increasingly beautiful, no longer the chubby little girl she used to be, and they could hardly recognize her.
"Uncle and auntie, I'm sorry, I've worried you these past few years," Xiaolian said, full of guilt.
