Chapter 1158 Want to Send a Gift

Professor Xie's hands trembled slightly, not because she had any deep feelings for this cousin she had never met, but because she knew that her mother's long-cherished wish had been fulfilled.

I believe Wu Sisi on the other end of the phone felt the same way. They grew up listening to their mothers' murmured thoughts of longing, recounting their childhood and youth.

Those were my mother's happiest times, but also her greatest regret in life.

To be able to find long-lost relatives in one's old age is to be able to die with a smile on one's face.

To Professor Xie's even greater surprise, his eldest uncle and his youngest aunt were both alive.

They've been searching these past few days to figure out what went wrong.

However, now is not the time to pursue these issues; instead, we should find a way to facilitate the reunion of the two families.

Professor Xie quickly replied, "Hello, Cousin Sisi. I'm so glad we were able to get in touch under such a fortunate coincidence. My mother, Ms. Wu Songhua, misses her brother and sister every day!"

Professor Wu quickly added, "My mother is the same. She always says that her early education came from her older sister, and she was greatly influenced by her! Now my mother misses her hometown very much, but because she hasn't found her relatives, she doesn't want to go back to this place of sorrow! Plus, my eldest uncle is here, so she hasn't been back for more than ten years!"

Professor Xie thought for a moment, "I'll send my child over there to pick up your uncle and aunt! Are you having any difficulties?"

Professor Wu shook his head. "I have no difficulties here! My uncle and mother are both in a nursing home now, they can take care of themselves and are in good spirits! Now that they know there are people in their hometown, they will definitely look forward to returning to their roots!"

Professor Xie breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, I'll send someone over! I might have some limitations due to my status, but it's alright. Cousin, please tell your uncle and aunt!"

Professor Wu nodded. "Understood! We'll immediately inform my uncle and my mother of this good news!"

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they hung up the phone.

Professor Wu looked at Qin Zheng and Cao Yuanyuan, "My cousin just said that it's inconvenient for her to come to the United States. Why is that?"

Qin Zheng replied, "Because Aunt Xie is a top medical professor in the country, there are restrictions on her going abroad for safety reasons. In addition, Aunt Xie's husband is in a high-ranking position in the Southern Military Region! As a family member, some of his overseas activities need to be reported, which takes too long and may cause delays!"

"But since she said she'd send someone over, she'll handle this matter properly! They're a truly kind and loyal family! I guarantee your trip back to China will be arranged perfectly!"

"Two years ago, Aunt Xie's daughter bought back the Wu family's ancestral home! Based on the old man's photos, a lot of furniture was restored, and the renovation is now complete. These things were entrusted to me by Aunt Xia's daughter, Liu Meilan!"

Upon hearing this, Professor Wu paused for a moment, sighed, and was filled with emotion. "Back then, after my mother and uncle went back, they couldn't find Aunt Songhua, so they donated our old house! They never thought they would go back! But by chance, after all the twists and turns, our old house has come back!"

Qin Zheng smiled and comforted him, "It's all a matter of chance!"

Professor Wu laughed upon hearing this, "You're right! Those destined to meet will find each other even from a thousand miles away; those not destined will not even hold hands when face to face. If fate hasn't brought you together, you might not even recognize each other even if you're walking right across from each other!"

Cao Yuanyuan congratulated, "Finally, a good result! This is truly remarkable!"

Professor Wu looked at Cao Yuanyuan with gratitude in his eyes, "Cao Yuanyuan, thank you! It was because of your help that we were able to get in touch!"

Cao Yuanyuan said modestly, "Professor Wu, you are too kind! Now that I know about this matter, I cannot pretend to be unaware! I would rather my efforts be in vain than let my classmate find his long-lost elder."

Professor Wu was busy going to the sanatorium and suggested that he invite Qin Zheng to dinner in a couple of days.

Qin Zheng and Cao Yuanyuan did not want to delay Professor Wu, so they took their leave from the Wu family.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Cao Yuanyuan. I'm thanking you on behalf of Yibang. You haven't become narrow-minded because of what happened before!"

Cao Yuanyuan scratched her nose. "When I saw Yibang get married last time, I knew that things were completely over between Liu Yibang and me! I let Liu Yibang go, and I let myself go too! So since then, I've felt at peace! I'm determined to follow my heart and move forward!"

"Actually, I noticed a resemblance between Professor Wu and Professor Xie a while ago, but I was a little embarrassed to contact Liu Yibang. After all, things got pretty ugly before, and I didn't want people to misunderstand that I was harassing him. So I thought of you; you have a good relationship with Liu Yibang. This way, I can get this matter sorted out and avoid my embarrassment! It's just that your vacation might be affected!"

Qin Zheng smiled, seemingly unconcerned. "It's good that I took a lot of photos! Just like you said, after eating hamburgers and fried chicken for two meals, I'm a bit tired of it!"

Qin Zheng was born and raised in Shanghai. His family was well-off from a young age, and he had a discerning palate. Where could he find something to satisfy his cravings here?

If you don't eat well, you won't appreciate the scenery around you as much!

Cao Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Then you wait here. Tomorrow I'll make some rice balls, and we'll take them with us while we travel!"

Qin Zheng nodded, "Okay! Please!"

Cao Yuanyuan happened to pass by the Asian Supermarket and bought a bunch of things. But when she was about to pay, Qin Zheng beat her to it.

In Qin Zheng's mind, he always felt that Cao Yuanyuan was still in school, didn't have much money, and had to do an internship. So, as a boss who was already making money, he absolutely could not accept Cao Yuanyuan paying him to have dinner.

Cao Yuanyuan was both amused and exasperated. "You're such a nuisance! You're so fussy!"

Qin Zheng chuckled, "Then just consider it nonsense! Anyway, I can't stand seeing you suffer here!"

Cao Yuanyuan's nose tingled slightly. "Thank you! Sigh, being in a foreign country, surrounded by foreigners, everyone is busy with their studies and social lives. As for me, I'm busy with my internship and thesis, and I really feel lonely! It's only because of the internet that I can video chat with my parents. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to shake off this loneliness!"

Because her relationship with Liu Yibang was quite well-known at school, and they ultimately didn't end up together, Cao Yuanyuan didn't want to talk about it with the other classmates and gradually distanced herself from him.

Cao Yuanyuan has had quite a bit of contact with Qin Zheng!

After escorting Cao Yuanyuan back to her dormitory, Qin Zheng returned to the hotel. The first floor of the hotel had many clothing stores.

Qin Zheng thought that since Cao Yuanyuan was interning there, he should wear nicer clothes.

He hoped that his old classmate Cao Yuanyuan would be able to work more gracefully and confidently in a foreign country.
