But just as he was about to speak, Ji Xiuwen swallowed the words back down.
...
Soon after, a knock on the door broke the silence in the Lu family home.
"Sister-in-law, it's me."
Upon hearing Lu Ran's voice, Lin Fangling quickly opened the door, and seeing Old Lu, Lu Qinian, standing behind her with a slightly gloomy expression, Fangling's heart skipped a beat. She quickly welcomed her sister-in-law, Lu Ran, inside.
"Aunt, could I see Grandpa's examination report?"
At the sight of Lu Ran, Lu Xuan didn't even have time to greet Grandpa Lu Qinian before his eyes quickly settled on her.
"Xiaoxuan?"
As soon as she saw Lu Xuan, Lu Ran was startled, a note of surprise in her voice: "When did you come back? How come I didn't know? I didn't hear you say you were coming back; I thought you weren't coming for the holiday."
Lu Xuan didn't have a chance to explain before Lin Yongzhen stepped forward to Lu Ran: "Aunt, could I see Grandpa's examination report?"
"Yongzhen is here too?"
