"Sorry, the General Union arranged for me to study abroad." Sheng Ning followed the reason she fabricated earlier. This was agreed upon with Su Yun beforehand; when Su Yun first returned from the United States, she told Sheng Ning to explain it this way to the family.
"Really?" Zhao Lanzi, being clever, wouldn't possibly believe it, but with the matter already in the past, the reason was no longer important. What mattered was that her daughter-in-law was not dead; as long as her daughter-in-law was alive, her son wouldn't die.
She felt relieved.
"Mom, I just returned from abroad. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll come to see you." Sheng Ning said sweet things over the phone, coaxing her in-laws to beam with joy, "Mom, you're a grandmother now."
"A boy or a girl?"
"One boy and one girl, twins, both can walk now! Once I'm done with work in a few days, I'll bring them back."
