After taking a deep breath, Liu Dong said: "Mom, this may not be a big deal, you have to be prepared!"
"You kid, you are so mysterious! Don't worry, your mother is already so old and has never seen anything. Even if the sky falls, there will still be a tall man holding it up! Tell me!"
"Then what did I say?"
"Say it!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone: "Mom, do you have any relatives of the same generation here? Do I have other aunts and relatives?"
After finishing speaking, Liu Dong clearly felt that his mother's breathing on the other side of the phone was stagnant. At the same time, Liu Dong's heart also lifted with his mother's silence.
"Why do you ask, what did you encounter outside?"
Liu Dong clearly felt the heaviness in his mother's tone, as well as the excitement contained in the heaviness.
After taking a look at Song Xiangjun, who looked excited and full of expectations, Liu Dong continued: "Today when I attended the horse racing meeting held here in the UK, I met a lady named Song Xiangjun.
It also has the Jade Buddha pendant you gave me...!"
Before Liu Dong finished speaking, he heard a 'pop' sound coming from inside, and then a blind tone of 'beep' came from the mobile phone.
"Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you, Mom?"
After shouting several times, but receiving no response from his cell phone, Liu Dong, who looked anxious, quickly dialed his father's cell phone.
As soon as the call came through, Liu Dong couldn't wait to shout: "Dad, what happened to my mother just now?"
"Okay, stop shouting! Your mother is fine, she just dropped her cell phone on the ground!"
"Huh, it's okay!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong was really relieved. If his mother had a misfortune because of him, Liu Dong would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
"...By the way, Liu Dong, let me ask you, what did you say to your mother just now to make her cry like this?" his father said in a stern tone.
"Dad...!" Before Liu Dong finished speaking, he heard his mother's excited voice again on the phone, "Xiaodong, what you just said is true?"
Liu Dong was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Of course it's true. Ms. Song Xiangjun is right next to me now."
Liu Dong had just finished speaking. Next to him, Song Xiangjun, whose eyes were already red with tears streaming down his face, stepped forward and grabbed Liu Dong's cell phone and said excitedly: "Little sister, I am your fifth sister Xiangjun, did you hear that? I am
Your fifth sister...woo woo!"
"Fifth sister, Xiangjun...?"
The strange yet familiar voice coming from the mobile phone made Song Xiangmei stunned, and the memories that had been sealed in dust for nearly fifty years started to stir up in her mind again.
"Little sister, little sister...?"
After shouting a few times but getting no response, Song Xiangjun covered her mouth and cried bitterly.
When Chen Changxing comforted his wife, he also returned Liu Dong's mobile phone.
But just a few seconds after getting the phone, the ringtone rang again. After taking a look, Liu Dong quickly connected the phone. But the voice coming from it was indeed that of his father Liu Jianqing.
"Dad, how is my mother doing now?" Liu Dong asked quickly.
"Your mother is very excited now. Liu Dong. You can book a hotel for us in the UK first, and your mother and I will buy air tickets and fly there right now."
"You are coming to England?" Liu Dong asked in surprise.
"Well, hurry up and get ready. Your mother and I are going to pack things right now!" Hearing the pinging and banging sound on the phone, as if it had hit something, Liu Dong said quickly: "Dad, don't be in a hurry.
I will send a plane to pick you up immediately...!"
Before Liu Dong finished speaking, his impatient father had already hung up the phone.
Listening to the blind tone on the phone, Liu Dong quickly relayed the call to Lin Ling's phone. Just after the call was connected, he said anxiously: "Sister Ling, please immediately arrange a plane to send your parents to the UK!"
"Mom and dad are going to England? Why?" Lin Ling asked in surprise.
"Don't worry about why for now. I'll explain it to you later. Now hurry up and make arrangements for the flight!"
Hearing the anxiety in Liu Dong's tone, Lin Ling immediately said: "Okay, I understand, don't worry, I'll call and make arrangements immediately!"
"Hold on tight!"
After the final explanation, Liu Dong hung up the phone!
Liu Dong took advantage of the opportunity that the global aviation industry was hit hard after 911. The three private jets ordered from Airbus were all delivered this morning. Except for one, which is Liu Dong's exclusive aircraft, as he flies around the world
In addition, the remaining two are kept in Quancheng, ready for use by company executives and family members in emergency travel.
"Xiaodong, don't let the plane come to London, fly directly to Manchester. Most of our Song family members are in Manchester!" At this time, Song Xiangjun wiped her tears and said quickly.
"Manchester!"
After being stunned for a moment, Liu Dong immediately nodded and started calling!
After finally arranging all this, he felt a little relieved. But facing a large family of relatives who might be about to appear, Liu Dong was both looking forward to it and feeling a little at a loss.
"Changxing, let's go home first. I want to tell my mother, eldest brother, and second brother the good news as soon as possible, so that they can be happy too!" Song Xiangjun, with tears in her eyes, held her husband's hand and said excitedly.
"Okay, okay, let's go home first!"
Chen Changxing, who could best understand his wife's mood at this moment, gave Liu Dong a "let's go first" look, then put his arm around Song Xiangjun's shoulders and walked towards the helicopter parked on the lawn not far away.
But after taking a few steps forward, Song Xiangjun seemed to remember something, turned around, walked quickly to Liu Dong, took his hand, and said expectantly: "Xiaodong, you will come with me when the time comes.
Uncle, second uncle, they will definitely be very happy to see you!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely go!" Liu Dong said quickly.
After Song Xiangmei nodded, she murmured to herself with wet eyes: "Reunion, finally reunion, fifty years, fifty years...!"
"Xiangjun, reunion is a good thing, let's not cry anymore...!"
Looking at the backs of each other leaning against each other, the corners of Liu Dong's eyes became blurry. At this moment, he deeply felt a heavy family affection.
It is also the family love that he has been looking forward to for more than 20 years since he was a child.
"well!"
After sighing heavily, Liu Dong turned around and saw Chen Bao, Melissa and Mei Xue who also had tears in their eyes.
And Chen Bao's tears couldn't stop flowing.
Perhaps noticing that Liu Dong's eyes noticed him, Chen Bao quickly wiped the tears on his face and said in a slightly serious tone: "Since I was a child, I have known that my mother has a long-lost sister. Even in China in the last century
After the reform and opening up, my uncle, second uncle, third aunt, fourth uncle, and my mother often went to China to look for her. Unfortunately, after so many years of searching, there was no news about my aunt. This matter has become the biggest worry for my grandma and her family.
!...Liu Dong, has my aunt never told you about her family?"
Facing Chen Bao's inquiry, Liu Dong slowly shook his head.
It is true that he has never heard his mother talk about his relatives. Although he does not know the reason for this, it is obviously closely related to her own experience and her marriage to her father.
Before China’s reform and opening up, ‘class and composition’ could determine people’s destiny!
"It seems that this time you two are going from friends to cousins!" Melissa said with a smile, perhaps because she felt that the current atmosphere was too heavy.
"Yes, you are about to become Liu Dong's sister-in-law!"
Because Liu Dong is several months older than Chen Bao, Mei Xue's words are still correct.
"Doesn't that mean that you will also become my cousin-in-law in the future?"
Melissa's counterattack immediately made Mei Xue blush. But the beauty's glance towards her showed her intentions.
A few joking but true words between the two also livened up the atmosphere again.
Liu Dong looked at them for a few times, thought for a while and then said: "Now we are going to Manchester. It takes up to 12 hours from Quancheng to Manchester, England. Before my parents arrive, we must prepare in advance!"
"I'll go with you too. After all, I'm more familiar with Britain!" Chen Bao said quickly.
"okay!"
Liu Dong did not refuse.
The affairs of his parents, family, and relatives of the Song Dynasty have involved almost all of Liu Dong's attention. Liu Dong really has no energy to pay attention to the global public opinion storm that he set off after accidentally trying his skills at the racetrack today.
Too lazy to pay attention.
Of course, Liu Dong still had to answer the inquiries calls from some friends after seeing the report. However, because of the urgency of the matter, he only responded with a few words and hung up.
When Liu Dong flew to Manchester, Chen Changxing and his wife also arrived here. In the presidential suite of the hotel rented by Liu Dong, he met more relatives of the Song family.
"Brother, this is Liu Dong, the son of the little sister I mentioned to you on the phone before!"
After Song Xiangmei's introduction, Liu Dong's attention was also focused on the tall old man in front of him, about seventy years old, but well-maintained, with an aura of elegance and majesty!
When the other party looked at him, Liu Dong also took the initiative to extend his right hand, "Hello, my name is Liu Dong!"
"Are you really my little sister's son?"
The old man looked Liu Dong up and down, shook hands with him, and asked with doubts in his tone but full of expectation.
However, facing the old man's expectant eyes, Liu Dong felt very entangled in his heart. Although, his guess that the Song family was his mother's kin was already 60 to 70 percent certain.
But he is still a junior after all, and such a major matter requires personal confirmation by the mother of the person involved before a final conclusion can be made.
