"Both of you shut up, no crying allowed. Whoever cries, mom wonāt love them anymore," Sheng Ning shouted, hearing Anāanās increasingly anxious voice downstairs. She simply threw down whatever she was holding and rushed downstairs.
At the main door, Gu Yunbo had already started to drive people away.
"Youāre a liar, trying to make connections with such a flimsy excuse. Do I look that easy to fool?"
"Bad person, let me go now," Anāan anxiously tried to squeeze in, but Gu Yunbo blocked her.
Aunt Feng stood there, at a loss, not knowing who to help.
She looked at the little girl outside who didnāt appear to be a bad person, but Gu Yunbo disagreed, so she didnāt dare to make a decision on her own.
Sheng Ning came rushing down to see this scene, with Anāan all dirty and disheveled, she barely recognized her after half a year.
"Anāan!" Sheng Ning let out a joyous scream, dashing forward.
"Ahhh..." Anāan pushed Gu Yunbo away and ran up. The two sisters hugged each other excitedly, laughing and jumping like fools.
"Is she really Sheng Ningās sister?" Gu Yunbo was dumbfounded. "Didnāt Sheng Ning say her sister was definitely not coming?"
Aunt Feng shrugged helplessly. "Obviously, her sister is quite formidable."
Gu Yunbo nodded thoughtfully, giving Aunt Feng a meaningful look.
She was definitely right. Someone who absolutely shouldnāt have appeared was the first to arrive. There must be more to this.
"Anāan, is it really you?" Sheng Ning touched Anāan everywhere, pinching her face in joy. "I thought Iād have to return home to see you!"
"Sis, I missed you so much!" Anāan buried herself in her embrace, crying out loud. "Sis, I thought Iād never see you again in my life. I knew you werenāt dead, I just knew it... you didnāt let me down. Sis, youāre amazing, Iāve been waiting for you!"
Anāan spoke incoherently, pouring out all the words in her heart from this period, in bits and pieces.
Listening to her, Sheng Ning couldnāt help but cry as well.
"Stop crying, see, Iām perfectly fine. Iām great, and Iāve missed you too," Sheng Ning patted her shoulder, gently consoling her.
"Donāt be sad, crying doesnāt look good at all."
"Sis, Iām really scared."
"Donāt be afraid, donāt be afraid anymore!"
"Mm-hm!" Anāan wiped her tears, her face already dirty, now resembled a little cat immediately after wiping.
Sheng Ning couldnāt help but chuckle, "How did you get here? Did Hai Yunfeng and the Shen Family agree to let you come?"
"Actually, no one agreed," Anāan grabbed Sheng Ningās hand, excitedly reporting, "Guess what? Iāve been selected into the Chinese Academy of Sciences and have participated in the core weapons research, achieving remarkable results."
"Thatās amazing, I always knew you could do it."
"Of course!" Anāan lifted her chin proudly.
Gu Yunbo pinched herself, but it didnāt hurt. It must have been an illusion just now. This young and already selected into the Chinese Academy of Sciences, participating in core, top-secret research? And allowed to go abroad?
These three points, none of them could possibly be true.
"Miss Gu, you just pinched me," Aunt Feng said innocently.
Gu Yunbo had used so much force just now that it almost made her jump, thereās probably a big bruise on her arm.
"Iām sorry, Iām sorry," Gu Yunbo scratched her head awkwardly.
"Itās fine!" Aunt Feng magnanimously expressed that she didnāt mind, "You guys go ahead and catch up, Iāll get groceries. We have important guests today, they must be well entertained."
