Chapter 172 Reunion
Chapter 172 Reunion
Seeing this, Noble and Eric looked at each other. Noble winked at Eric and then got out of the car first.
Eric understood and unfastened the seat belt. He turned around and held Angela's hand as if to encourage her, "Mom, we're here. Get off the car."
Hearing this, she turned her head to look at her son, she looked at a loss, as if a drowning man had grabbed a piece of floating wood. Her eyes seemed to ask if I could really go down.
On the other side, holding Angela's hand, Sherry looked at her worriedly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. But when she saw Eric speak, she chose not to say anything.
"Don't make grandparents wait too long, okay?" Eric gave his mother an encouraging look and coaxed her.
The panic on Angela's face was obviously relieved, as if she had made a decision.
Seeing this, she quickly answered, "Yes, that's right. Aunt, grandparents are waiting for you to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner. Aunt, uncle and my parents are waiting for you."
Taking a deep breath, Angela nodded, "Yes."
Seeing this, Sherry smiled happily. "Then let's get off the car."
As soon as she finished speaking, she got out of the car and looked at Angela expectantly.
At the same time, she also looked at Sherry. Then she got off the car with excitement in the eyes of everyone.
"Angela..."
Someone in the crowd shouted first.
Subconsciously, she raised her head and looked into the crowd. At the sight of this, Angela's eyes immediately turned red. Many familiar faces, with expectations in their eyes.
In the crowd, the head of the group was a woman with grey hair. She was in a bun and wore a mink fur cape. Naturally, she looked a little noble. This was the Mistress of the Sun family, Amanda Shi.
On her left was Betty Sun, the bigger daughter of Sun family, and on her right was Carry Sun, and beside them were their husbands.
Angela choked with sobs. She wanted to call all of them, but she couldn't make a sound. Tears streamed down her face.
At this time, Noble, who had already got out of the car and took out the suitcase, walked to Eric and whispered in his ear, "Tonight may be a sleepless night."
Hearing this, a smile played at the corners of Eric's mouth. He looked back at him and said, "It's not possible. It's certain."
Noble smiled and didn't refute. He looked at the crowd and said helplessly, "Grandpa is so stubborn. He miss aunt so much that he almost fall ill. Now aunt is back, but he don't come out to see anyone. It's really troublesome." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Among the crowd, only Jackson Sun, the backbone of the Sun family, was missing.
Eric shook his head with a bitter smile. No one could change his grandfather's character. Who could change his character after living more than half of his life?
The two brothers were whispering on one side, and the atmosphere on the other side was still a little quiet. Finally, it was because of the unbearable atmosphere that Sherry broke the silence.
"Well, let's go inside and have a talk. It's so cold outside. I'm almost frozen to death." While saying that, she deliberately shivered, and by the way, she held Angela and said, "Auntie is also wearing thin clothes. If she continues to stand outside, she will freeze into ice."
As soon as she finished speaking, she held Angela in her arms and walked towards the hall of the Sun family's mansion. While walking, she said, "There is heating in the room. It's so nice to have warm wind in the room."
After saying that, she winked at Carry, her mother, in the crowd, indicating her to take everyone into the room.
Carry took back her daughter's hint and said to Amanda Shi, "Mom, I also think it's cold outside. Standing here for a long time is not good for your health. Let's go inside and talk."
"Okay." Amanda nodded. Tears welled up in her eyes and her voice choked with sobs because of Angela's return.
Then, everyone turned around and walked into the room. The last two people to walk were, of course, Noble and Eric.
"It's not until now that I find that Sherry has a high IQ and EQ." Said Noble.
Hearing this, Eric smiled, "How many losers are there in the Sun family?"
"Ha ha..." All of a sudden, a smile appeared on Noble's face. He gave him a cunning look and said, "I remember that someone has been hiding everything about himself and thinking about being a loser before."
An unnatural look flashed across Eric's face, "That was before I met Lily. I've changed a lot."
"It's a good thing to turn over a new leaf. The Sun family will rely on you from now on." Then, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on. Don't let me down."
"Don't place too much hope on me." Eric cast a sidelong glance at him and said, "Maybe I will throw it back to you when I get tired of it."
"Do you think you can get rid of it after you take it over?"
"Why not?" Eric asked, "Brother, let's make a bet, okay?"
"What bet?" Even Noble became interested.
"In five years, if I can surpass you, you will take over the Sun family's business. If I can't surpass you, I will still take care of it." Said Eric, with a smile in his black eyes, but also with confidence.
"Okay." Without a second thought, Noble answered with a smile. Then he asked, "What will you do after leaving the Sun family's business?"
"It's none of your business. You have promised me anyway." Eric didn't say anything more.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Noble just smiled and didn't ask any more questions. He knew that with Eric's ability, it was undoubted that he would surpass him in five years. However, at that time, his career was more stable. If he took over the business of the Sun family, he wouldn't be so busy.
In the hall, the heating was indeed full. As soon as they entered the room, everyone took off their coats and handed them to the servants.
At the same time, Noble handed the suitcase in his hand to a servant and ordered him to send it to the room specially prepared for Angela. Then he turned around and looked in the direction of Eric, only to find that he had already stood beside Angela, giving her support.
Then he looked in the direction of the main seat of the living room. His grandfather, Jackson, was sitting straight with a serious face, but his expectant eyes revealed his current mood. Without thinking too much, he walked over and sat down next to him.
On the other side, Angela looked at the people standing in front of her with red eyes. Tears kept flowing, but she couldn't say anything. In the past, she was in a fit of pique and left home for nearly twenty years. Now she came back, and her excitement could be imagined.
"Grandma, aunt, second aunt." Eric, who was gently holding Angela, called the elders in front of them respectively, and then lowered his head and whispered in his mother's ear, "Mom, you should be happy when you come back. If you keep crying like this, everyone will cry with you."
Because at this moment, the eyes of Betty, Carry were also red. They hadn't seen each other for so many years, and they all cried first without saying anything.
As for the other men, they stood aside and watched the situation. They could do nothing but watch the mother and daughter meet and the sisters meet.
"Angela..." The first to speak was the Mistress of the sun clan, Amanda. Her voice was choked with sobs. She took a step forward and held Angela's hand tightly. "You… You are finally back."
Hearing this, Angela burst into tears again, more fiercely than before. "Mother..."
She couldn't help but break away from Eric's arms and threw herself into the arms of Amanda. She burst into tears and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry… I'm just back."
"It's good that you're back." Holding her daughter in her arms, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry..." Burying her head in her mother's arms, Angela kept apologizing.
"Nothing is sorry." Amanda held up Angela's face and wiped her tears with her wrinkled hands, while she herself kept crying. "We are a family. You don't have to say sorry."
"Mom..." Angela's eyes turned red with tears. She reached out her hand and wiped the tears on her face. "I was too thoughtless at that time. I was too impulsive..."
"Who wouldn't be impulsive when they were young? As long as you come back now."
"I'm sorry..."
The scene of the mother and daughter gathering together was always touching. The people standing aside also wiped their tears, and even the lively and active Sherry also wiped several tears. She gently pulled the sleeve of Eric beside her.
Eric turned to look at her, with tears in his eyes. She said in a low voice, "Boss, when will they stop crying? I'm so hungry."
Hearing this, he couldn't help but chuckle. He reached out and rubbed her head. "Hold on for a while."
"Okay." "Oh," said Sherry unhappily. In fact, she was not really hungry, but such a scene that made people cry was not suitable for her.
She didn't want to see the sad scene. She lowered her head and played with her fingers. She was really sad.
All of a sudden, a piece of chocolate appeared in front of her eyes. Surprised, she raised her head, only to see that Eric said with a smile, "Eat something first."
"Thank you, boss." After taking the chocolate, Sherry smiled, peeled the package paper and put it into her mouth.
Well, it was really a good way to distract her attention.
The crying scene continued.
"Sister, don't always say sorry." Betty said, "It's better to come back than anything else. Don't cry. It's thirty years old today. You should be happy."
"Exactly." Her second sister, Carry, answered. She wiped her eyes and complained, "It's all your fault. I cried too."
"Sister, second sister." Stopping crying, Angela looked up at the two of them and said, "I miss you so much these years."
"You bad girl, why don't you come back early if you miss us?" Carry said first. She walked up to Angela and hugged her. "I've been thinking about it day and night. Do you think you have a sense of accomplishment?"
"Second sister..." The tears that had been stopped were about to burst out again. Angela held Carry in a choked voice.
