After Peggy received the call, she fainted, which shocked Xiang Nan and Leonard.
Fortunately, she woke up on her own before an ambulance was called. Otherwise, it would really scare people to death.
"Raj, do you think I can see them?" Peggy said with some difficulty.
When she was kicked out of her home, she was helpless and homeless. She couldn't bear to think about how desolate it was.
Now, she is successful, famous, and has a Nobel Prize at her fingertips. But they appeared at this moment. She had to suspect that they were doing it for their own money and fame.
Even if that wasn't the case and they really came here for family ties, she wasn't mentally prepared to recognize them.
"In principle, I respect your personal opinion." Xiang Nan thought about it and said, "However, from a boyfriend's perspective, I suggest you meet them."
"Why?" Peggy asked puzzled.
"Peggy, you are a very emotional person. The reason why you left home was because you could not accept your parents' divorce." Xiang Nan analyzed, "You have repeatedly helped Sheldon because he has been your friend since childhood. I can't bear to lose him. It shows how much you value feelings in your heart.
If you don't see your relatives this time, you will never see them again, which will become your eternal regret in the future.
On the contrary, if you go to meet them, you may get to know them and regain the lost family ties. This is a very good thing for you.
To say the least, even if they come here for money and fame. When the time comes, you can send them away again. And I completely stopped thinking about them, so I don’t have to think about them anymore in the future. "
After hearing this, Peggy nodded in agreement.
"Then will you go with me?" She raised her head and asked.
"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
Later, Xiang Nan and Peggy drove to the school.
When I arrived at the reception room, I saw two women sitting inside.
One of them is older and the other is younger.
Both of them seemed to be in good condition, and they didn't look like the kind of people who were struggling in life.
When Peggy saw them, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her body swayed, and she was about to faint again.
Xiang Nan helped her in time and said, "Relax, relax~"
The two ladies were equally surprised and happy when they saw her, and they stood up in unison.
Xiang Nan helped Peggy into the reception room, first helped her sit on the sofa, then walked towards the two ladies and said with a smile, "Hello, ladies. Let me introduce myself, I am Rajesh Ku Sapari, Peggy Swanson’s boyfriend.”
"Hello, Rajesh," the older woman introduced herself, "I'm Linda Hamilton, Peggy's mother. This is my daughter, Erica Hamilton."
"Madam, Peggy was very excited when she heard that you were coming. She had already fainted once just now." Xiang Nan introduced, "Now that I see you, I am even more excited, so please give her some time to adapt. "
"Of course. In fact, when we saw her on the news, we were also very excited." Linda nodded, "After Peggy left us when she was eleven, we have actually been worried about her and missed her. , but we couldn't find her. We didn't know where she was until we saw the report the day before yesterday, so we rushed over right away."
"That's it." Xiang Nan nodded, "Actually, Peggy has always wanted to be reunited with her family. But because she has done many wrong things before and made you so angry, she is embarrassed to go back to see you."
"Actually, we also made mistakes. We were too young at the time and didn't know how to deal with feelings, so we hurt each other." Linda shook her head and said, "So I have been regretting for all these years that I didn't take good care of Peggy."
"I suggest you don't mention the sad things in the past anymore." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "How are you doing now?"
“After I divorced Peggy’s dad, the next year I married my husband, Jason Hamilton, who was a meat supplier,” Linda explained. “Erica is from South Texas. Graduated from community college and now works as a vice president at Jason’s company.”
"Sounds good." Xiang Nan smiled.
Judging from the information they revealed, the life of the mother and daughter should be good now. Even if they are not rich, they can still be considered middle class.
And this greatly reduces the possibility that they are looking for relatives for money and fame.
Of course, the possibility of them lying cannot be ruled out. But judging from their dress, mental state, speech and behavior, their statements are still very credible.
…
At this time, Peggy had recovered, stood up and came to Linda.
After looking at her for a moment, tears welled up in both of their eyes.
"Mom~" Peggy choked and shouted, and then hugged Linda, "I miss you so much."
"Peggy, we miss you too." Linda hugged her daughter equally tightly.
Seeing this touching scene, Xiang Nan couldn't help feeling his nose was sore and his eyes were red.
"Okay, don't cry all the time. Let's sit down somewhere and have a good chat." Xiang Nan persuaded them softly after they had almost finished crying.
Peggy and Linda both nodded.
The four of them then drove to a nearby coffee shop.
Xiang Nan noticed that the car driven by Linda and Erica, mother and daughter, was a new Cadillac Trailblazer.
The price of a new car is about US$80,000. Judging from the price, condition of use, and interior of the car, the mother and daughter should be in a good financial situation.
Otherwise, not only would it be impossible to drive such a good car, but it would also be impossible to maintain it so well.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I was too willful before." After entering the cafe, Peggy held her mother's hand and said.
"Peggy, it's not your fault, it's your mother who doesn't know how to take care of you." Linda said with tears in her eyes.
"No, it's my fault. I shouldn't give up on myself."
"No, it's my fault, I shouldn't have kicked you out!"
Mother and daughter each kept confessing to each other.
Xiang Nan and Erica sat aside, unable to get a word in.
"I heard that you are now the vice president of the company. How is it? Is the meat business easy to do?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"It's okay. The sales volume of our White Knight Pork Chop is very good." Erica nodded.
"Oh, I can try it if I have a chance." Xiang Nan smiled.
"How did you get together with my sister? I read in the report that it seems that you are smarter than her." Erica said curiously.
"Oh, Peggy should be better than me in terms of IQ alone, but scientific research does not rely solely on IQ." Xiang Nan smiled, "Peggy and I met in November last year..."
