Jin Jin (Jin Xu Niang) POV, I was on a business trip for over than 2 months now, I needed to grow up my business and create new records in my field. After I graduated from software engineering school and being the top student with the highest GPA, I was glad to be considered the youngest judge on tech competitions which my professor recommended me and trusted me to hold this position. I won many on my own while being student still, and when I was finally graduated, I did not spare time and started my own electronic devices company which is concerned about creating and developing medical machines. My mom called and said I was on another town for too long already, I need to go back home and have a family gathering since my brother is having a vacation and will be home next week, he is studying medicine in the most respected university in the country, he managed to earn a scholarship due to how smart and dedicated he is. we don't get to see him a lot since how busy he is at college. My mom definitely feels lonely, although she would never say and complain about this because she doesn't want to hold us back from our dreams but still, we only have each other in this world after my grandma passed away last year. My mom has been insisting me to go visit her friends because they keep asking about me, she told me to find some time and go say hi to them and since I Know them for like long time and actually quite appreciate Their love and care towards me and my brother and most importantly they are by mother's side on her darkest days. I finished my work that is mainly related to my company, but I had to stay there longer due to the starting of the running competition and as a judge, I have responsibilities to conduct such as, planning for the competition's rounds and leading the competitors though the stages of the competition. Yesterday was very tiring day as it was the last round of the first stage, so the judge had almost two weeks’ worth of a break before the starting of the next stage. The judges decided to give Time to participants to chill while everything is set for the next go. Therefore, I thought it was perfect to go visit my mom and my brother as well. I drove my car and once I got to my distention, I Parked my car and went to the nearest supermarket to buy some drinks and sweets, I think I need some powerful drink to keep me awake as I couldn't get much sleep in the last few days and I do feel like having low blood pressure so, I think some candies would do. I walked in the supermarket and picked up some stuff, of course people are looking at me as usual, I don't blame them, I'm like a superstar in this new world of technology and I am very acknowledged by most of the web users. I was busy picking up some iced coffee when I found someone tapping on my shoulder, I turned around and found a guy holding his phone and was saying something that I couldn't hear because of my earbuds that I were using to keep me awake while driving. I thought he wants to have a picture with me, so I just pointed to my ears and gave him a signal says, ' I can't hear you' and then walked away. I am not very fond of socializing and talking to people, so I always find an excuse to not talk to people, it is how I grew up. Being an introvert is my neck name that the outsiders gave to me. I went to pay for my snacks but unfortunately the guy at the cashier told me that the drink I picked was out of date and they are working on removing it from the shelves, he was about to put it aside when I held it back questioning with my eyes, like what are you doing, because I didn't hear what he just said, I stopped the music and then he spoke again and He flipped the bottle showing me the date of production while explaining to me. I nodded to him as like thanking him and held my things and walked away. I head straight to the entrance of the hospital, but before I entered, I remembered that I am wearing my black eye lenses, I removed them and my earbuds as well before walking in because my mom hates it when I wear them. I was the one who got my dad's green eyes, I am not saying I don't like them, but people do question me all the time and ask me about my dad and those questions hurt me. Anyways, I was ready to go now after erasing them so, I went in and stopped to talk to the nurses before going to see my mom and her friends, we are not close but I chat with them shortly every time I visit, they are nice and I'm not all weird with them so, I went to say hi to them and they were very surprised to see me and kept telling me that they watched my team performance in the competition and that they cheer for me. I was thanking them politely when someone out of nowhere came next to me and called me a rude and a liar when I do not even know how, I said, ' I don't even know you' and the nurse as well told him he must have mistaken me with someone else, but still, he said it again. And as a person who has a big temper issue, this guy really went far, I by then called him back only to reply with a punch this time since he can't understand words. He even got the gut to laugh and tell me that would make me pay back if only I was a boy. While thinking in my mind I decided to make fun of him by laughing and saying " if I was a man, you would have been dead by now" he was about to speak again when I heard Uncle Luo coming, thinking inside' oh, what a bad luck to meet this stupid today' I respect uncle Lou and aunt Lou, they are dear friends to my mom and they are like a family to us, my mom was friends with them in her childhood as well as my grandparents, our families were close friends since long time, It amazes me how strong their bond is every time my dear grandma used to tell me about these stories. After my mom went abroad at a young age during the expanding of her father's company, they kept on touch, and she used to come visit sometimes and they went abroad to visit her and dad who became friends with them back then when he first knew my mom at school. They used to save time for their friendship no matter how busy they are and went on trips and shared their dreams. Even when they fell in love they just loved their best friends, uncle Lou confessed to aunt Lou Yan and teased my dad of the fact that he got his lover first, they somehow had this bit, like a boy secret thing but my dad by here teased him back by telling him he already proposed to my mom before they started that trip, he only didn't tell him so he wouldn't lose his courage. They laugh about it and spent good times back then. Later on, Uncle Lou held his marriage ceremony first and my dad waited couple years before he finally ties the knot with my mom. I remember we used to visit a lot before my dad passed away and then my mom decided to settle here after hiring someone to run my grandpa's businesses abroad. Uncle Lou and Aunt Lau has been taking care of me and my brother since then, they are really special to me in every possible way. Uncle Lou cut my thinking when he said ' both of you follow me now' I thought I was Doomed at this point and I wanted to save my soul, I tried to get away one more time by promising that I won't make problems again, he knows I have anger issues and he always advices me to overcome this issue and I told him I'll do my best and I really did great till this stupid thing showed up. Uncle Lou asked us to follow him and turned to walk towards his office so, I helplessly followed back but I don't know what came into me that made me hit that guy's shoulder and give him a warning Stare. Once we got into the office he asked is to shut the door closed and once that i***t closed the door, I decided to play cute because uncle Lou always let me go when I do, I didn't care about that person staring at me but all I wanted to do was to convince uncle Lou not to tell my mom about this. I ran to him and hold his hand I asked him nicely and cutely to let me go this time and to not tell mom but what happened in the very next moment almost gave me a heart attack, my mom showed up saying ' I already know' I tried to explain it was his fault and he was one who started it but my mom told me to shut up and then I heard that stupid that caused all of this to happen laughing. I was about to lose my mind, but Uncle Lou stared at him with anger and asked him ' why is he laughing', he by then said ' nothing, sorry dad' that last word got me off guard, did he just say dad. I looked at him with suspicion and let the word ' dad?!' slip out of my mouth. The other one gave me a challenging look on his face and replied' yes, you have any objections?!'. I thought in my mind oh my goodness I need time to process all of these things, what is going on. Uncle Lou has a married daughter with a son, and he has a son who is studying abroad since like forever and the little Lou chi Yan who is studying medicine with my brother at the same college only a year younger. Is he the one who was studying abroad, but my mom never mentioned anything about him being back home? I'm so confused by now for real.
