That afternoon, Song Rong was conducting research with a group of doctoral students at the institute. She was a bit confused when told someone was looking for her, as those familiar to her usually approached her directly.
It was rare for anyone to get through the guard's office.
"Did they say who it is?" Song Rong asked in surprise.
"They said their surname is Jiang, a middle-aged man," the guard informed.
Surname Jiang, a middle-aged man—Song Rong knew immediately from the guard's brief description that this was Jiang Lin.
After seventeen years of no contact, they met that day at the research institute in the Capital.
It was a lie to say that Song Rong was not shocked.
In these seventeen years, she never thought there would be a day when Jiang Lin would come to find her.
