1587 The Princess Is Here
The next morning, everyone gathered in the manor after knowing that Jun Shiling had returned.
Old Master Jun rushed over after hearing the news in the morning. When he finally saw his grandson, who had disappeared for more than ten years, Old Master Jun cried on the spot.
“Ah Ling, you’re finally back!!” Old Master Jun wiped his tears. “I can finally go down to report to your parents.”
Looking at Old Master Jun, whose beard and hair were completely white, Jun Shiling’s heart ached. He took a step forward and knelt down in front of Old Master Jun. “Grandpa, I’m sorry.”
Loyalty and filial piety could not be mixed. He chose to follow Xia Wanyuan and leave an old man like Old Master Jun in China to support such a large family business alone. He felt very guilty.
However, as an elder, Old Master Jun had never blamed Jun Shiling. He pulled Jun Shiling up. “Silly child, you’re back. Don’t say these things anymore. It’s good that you’re back. I can die in peace.”
Jun Shiling helped Old Master Jun sit on the sofa. The juniors immediately surrounded him to comfort him. Little Xiaxia quickly amused Old Master.
An Rao leaned against Bo Xiao and looked at the scene of the grandfather and grandson reuniting in front of her. Her eyes were red. She leaned gently on Bo Xiao’s shoulder. “I don’t know why, but it’s clearly such a warm scene, but I feel inexplicably sad.”
Bo Xiao knew what An Rao meant.
Jun Shiling’s return was undoubtedly a happy thing for the Jun family, but Xia Wanyuan’s absence was an indelible wound for every one of them.
Especially Jun Shiling.
Over the years, they had been studying the reason why Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had disappeared. They vaguely knew a little. Now that Jun Shiling had returned, Xia Wanyuan was still missing.
Although no one dared to ask, they privately guessed that Xia Wanyuan might never appear, not even a trace.
The manor was bustling for the entire day until it finally fell silent at night.
“Father, tomorrow is my coming-of-age ceremony.” Jun Yin walked down the stairs and spoke to Jun Shiling.
Jun Shiling replied, “I’ll host your coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow.”
Hearing Jun Shiling’s voice, Jun Yin paused for a moment.
Because he could tell that Jun Shiling seemed to be choking.
Jun Yin’s deep gaze landed on Jun Shiling. He sighed in his heart and finally turned to go upstairs. “Father, I’m going to sleep first.”
This silent moment must be when my father missed my mother the most. It was better for me to leave time for him.
In the empty living room, Xia Wanyuan seemed to be everywhere.
Jun Shiling sat on the sofa and looked at the starlight outside the window. He pursed his lips slightly. “Will you come back?”
The only response he received was an empty silence.
Jun Yin did not know how long Jun Shiling sat in the living room that night. He only knew that when he got up and went downstairs, he happened to see Jun Shiling get up from the sofa.
Today was Jun Yin’s coming-of-age ceremony. The manor had already begun to prepare.
He was the future successor of the Jun Corporation, so the coming-of-age ceremony was naturally not a simple ceremony. This was an important event for the world.
In the venue, Jun Yin walked onto the rostrum accompanied by Jun Shiling. The father and son had similar faces and temperament, giving everyone present a sense of authority.
“Thank you for coming to Jun Yin’s coming-of-age ceremony.” Jun Shiling held the microphone and looked at Jun Yin in relief. “I’m an incompetent father, but fortunately, Jun Yin has already become an outstanding child.”
In the venue, everyone was listening to Jun Shiling’s speech seriously. No one noticed a slender figure walking up the stairs.
