Chapter 557: 266 First Encounter (Second Update)

At the exit of the airport, the railing was crowded with people waiting to pick up their passengers.

Among them were Bo Lianye and Bo Yujiang.

Bo Lianye took out a banner from her bag and opened it. The banner read: “Welcome home Dr. Bo with honor.”

Bo Lianye said, “Uncle might have changed a lot, but I’m sure I’ll recognize him at first sight, because he must be the most handsome and charming man in the crowd, without a doubt.”

At that moment, a woman next to her noticed the banner and exclaimed, “Are you friends of Dr. Bo?”

Bo Yujiang smiled and said, “Is there a problem?”

She noticed that the woman was holding a microphone and there was a tall man with a camera behind her.

A journalist?

The woman said, “I am He Xiaoyun, a journalist from The People Magazine. Dr. Bo, as an outstanding representative of the international medical community, has attracted great attention from the domestic medical community with his return. Dr. Bo’s contributions to the medical community go far beyond this. He has returned home with honors, and our magazine has prepared a special program for him. It would be great if we could interview Dr. Bo today.”

Bo Lianye’s face beamed with pride. Her uncle was just that remarkable.

Bo Yujiang laughed and said, “I see, but we are not Dr. Bo’s friends.”

He Xiaoyun looked disappointed: “I’m sorry, I must have bothered you.”

“We are his family members.”

Bo Yujiang’s words immediately lit up hope in He Xiaoyun’s eyes.

“Are you Dr. Bo’s wife and daughter?”

Bo Yujiang’s face stiffened. Did she look that old?

But Bo Lianye was very pleased. “Reporter, it seems that you don’t know much about your interviewee. Hasn’t anyone told you that Dr. Bo is still a golden bachelor?”

He Xiaoyun quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was careless.”

Bo Yuxun was simply too low-key. Aside from his academic papers and achievements, there was nothing about his privacy on the internet. A man in his thirties, successful in his career, should have a loving wife and daughter, and a happy life in her perception.

Therefore, seeing the two women of different ages in front of her, she had assumed they were Dr. Bo’s wife and daughter.

“I am Dr. Bo’s sister, and she is his niece,” Bo Yujiang explained.

“Oh, I see. You are Dr. Bo’s family.” The admiration and envy in the woman’s eyes made Bo Yujiang feel better.

The once warm and gentle embrace was now cold, after experiencing the world’s tribulations, the man seemed more like a lone boatman with a straw cloak.

The man paused briefly, looking extremely composed as he walked out in comparison to Bo Lianye’s excitement.

Bo Lianye hugged the man tightly and choked out, “Uncle, you finally came back. I’ve missed you so much!”

The man stood still, his eyes slightly downcast and his eyebrows furrowing.

“Lian Ye?”

Bo Lian Ye looked up from the man’s arms and nodded enthusiastically, “Yes, uncle, you couldn’t have forgotten me.”

She stared at the man in front of her, the uncle she remembered, he used to be warm, sunny, and loved to smile. His nickname was Little Sun, warming everyone around him. But now, the uncle’s face no longer had a smile, he became cold, lonely, and seemed like a completely different person.

But she could still sense her uncle’s presence in him.

He raised a hand, as if wanting to stroke her hair, but the hand that was raised still fell back down in the end.

“I know it’s you, Lian Ye.”

Bo Lianye sniffled, and said with a hint of grievance, “Uncle, you used to love me so much, but now I feel so unfamiliar and scared when I look at you.”

Twelve years was enough time to change many things.

The man curved his lips into a smile, but his eyes held no trace of joy, instead, they were like a bottomless cold abyss.

“I will always be your uncle.” The man’s deep and magnetic voice held a hint of hoarseness.

Bo Lianye laughed and upon seeing Bo Yujiang standing aside, she immediately pulled her over.

“Uncle, she is aunt, she came back when you went abroad, you haven’t met aunt before, right?”

Bo Yujiang gave a gentle smile, saying with poise, “Second brother, hello, I am A Jiang.”

The man’s eyes fell on her face, carrying a hint of scrutiny and inquiry. There was no joy of meeting a long-lost sister in his expression.

Bo Lianye became genuinely scared, because she had heard from her grandmother that during the years Aunt A Jiang was not at home, the person who missed her the most was her uncle. It was a kind of telepathy between the twins. Twelve years ago, Uncle suddenly fainted on the operating table, and it almost killed him, scaring grandma to death.

Not long after, Aunt A Jiang returned. When grandma mentioned Uncle’s sudden fainting, Aunt A Jiang said she had a car accident that day.

But there was no joy in Uncle’s eyes when he looked at Aunt A Jiang, nor was there any sense of cherishing something lost and regained, only a cold scrutiny.

Could it be that grandma was lying to her?

“Uncle, don’t you remember Aunt A Jiang?”

Bo Yujiang cast her eyes down, a flash of darkness flickering in her gaze. Her hand hidden in her sleeve clenched tightly, her palm already filled with sweat.
