Ren Minghang couldn't believe it; his grandfather had actually agreed to Xia Yun's request to visit. During the four years he had been living in the sanatorium, no fewer than a hundred people had come to visit Ren Bonian, but the number who actually saw the Old Marshal could be counted on one's fingers.
"Geng Binlin's wife? Alright, let her come this afternoon," Ren Bonian agreed very decisively after hearing what Ren Minghang had said.
Geng Binlin had come from the Rand Military District Armament Department. Over a decade ago, he died in the line of duty during an explosion at the old Rand laboratory. Xia Yun, as the martyr's widow, had received the pension personally distributed by Ren Bonian. It's probable that Geng Binlin is Xia You's biological father, though Xia Yun remarried, and Xia You followed her mother's surname.
