After apologizing, Hank found it difficult to borate on the reasons behind his remorse. He felt that the An family should be able to grasp the situation without him needing to delve into details that might cause them additional pain.


    For the An family, Lydia (Ava), who was Charlie’s mother, had been gone for 20 years, a loss they had long since epted. When Hank mentioned her name, there was no offense taken. After all, Hank had been a schoolmate and friend of Lydia (Ava).


    At that moment, Charlie Wade decided to introduce Hank, saying, “Uncle Hank, my second uncle often appears in public; I’m sure you recognize him, right?”


    Hank nodded in acknowledgment, replying, “Mr. Hom, of course! I’ve heard about you for quite some time!”


    Hom responded courteously, “Thank you for your kind words, Professor Hank.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The two then exchanged polite handshakes.


    Charlie Wade proceeded to introduce Hank’s eldest uncle, his third uncle, and his aunt, followed by Li Yalin.


    Unexpectedly, just as Charlie was about to introduce Li Yalin to Hank, Hank interjected, “This must be Inspector Li, renowned as the pride of the Chinese! I’ve read many of your interviews and reports, and I hold you in high regard!”


    Li Yalin smiled humbly, responding, “I’m just an inspector; I hardly consider myself the pride of the Chinese. Your achievements and contributions far outweigh mine.”


    Hank replied earnestly, “That’s not true. While it may not be overly challenging for us Chinese, or even the entire Asianmunity, to achieve financial sess in North America, earning genuine recognition from society atrge is indeed a formidable task. For many years, Chinese Americans have faced various forms of overt and subtle discrimination. Your eptance by mainstream Western society certainly makes you a true pride of the Chinese.”


    Hank’s words resonated deeply with several members of the An family.


    The reality of life in the United States is often far from the rosy picture painted by the media. Minorities, especially, face numerous unspoken challenges. Communities like those of ck and Korean descent that unite to support one another tend to fare better, while those whock such solidarity often find themselves in dire situations, struggling against both internal and external pressures.


    Charlie Wade had limited experience in the United States since his childhood and was unfamiliar with the environment there. However, observing the agreement among those present made him realize the truth in Hank’s statements.


    At that moment, Charlie Wade’s grandmother couldn’t help but open the door and call out, “It’s quite chilly outside! Why don’t youe in quickly? We shouldn’t keep Charlie and the guests out in the cold.”<fn4a8a> Latest content published on find?novel</fn4a8a>


    Charlie smiled and responded, “Grandma!”


    His grandmother nodded, smiling as she waved, “Come in, it’s time for dinner.”


    “Hey!” Charlie replied, and the group hurried into the warmth of the vi.


    As they entered, the elder approached Charlie and asked, “Charlie, how have you been doing in Aurous Hill these days?”
