The meal was eaten intermittently, and it was already past seven o'clock in the evening after I was full.
Xue Ling took a quick shower, went to her youngest daughter and son's room to tell them to complete their homework, and explained that they would be away for two days and would be back soon.
Then, she went to the living room and saw three old people sitting in front of the big TV watching TV series. She couldn't help but persuade them to watch them during the day and not stay up late at night.
"A Yuan and I are going out for two days. If anything happens at home, you can call us. The kitchen remains the same, and the security at the front and back remains the same. The bodyguard is responsible for picking up and dropping off the children. You also need a bodyguard to follow you when you go out..."
"Okay, okay!" Xue's mother laughed and scolded: "That's a long way to go! It's just two days to pick someone up. As for making it seem like it will take two years? We are not children."
Liu Ying laughed.
Father Xue watched the show seriously and was not affected at all.
Xue Ling shook his head helplessly: "What's the difference between you and children now? In short, when you go out, you need someone to accompany you, and let a driver or bodyguard pick you up. Also, don't wander around if you have nothing to do."
After moving to the new garden, the surrounding environment has changed. There are either high-rise buildings or various residential areas, all of which look similar.
My parents lived in the old city and still have a general sense of direction. My mother-in-law can't. She used to remember the landmark building "Ronghua Mall" and stand on tiptoes to look if she couldn't find it. Now the garden is relatively far away.
The high-rise building here is too short and cannot be found by "looking around". I have already lost my way three or four times.
"No way!" Dad Xue muttered: "We have to go to the senior citizen center to watch a play!"
Xue Ling nodded: "Okay, let the driver take you there. You can't go out alone."
"I know, I know." Xue's mother waved her hands like she was shooing away mosquitoes: "Go get some sleep, we have to take a plane tonight!"
Xue Ling had no time to sleep, so she turned around and called her secretary, then had a video chat with Zheng Duoduo, and then replied to several emails from senior leaders until Cheng Tianyuan knocked on the door and called her.
"Daughter-in-law, we have a flight in more than an hour and we have to leave early. Are you finished?"
Xue Ling quickly closed the computer and picked up the mobile phone on the table.
"Hey! I'm done with my work...it's okay, let's go."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Let's go back to the room first and check things again."
The two walked back to the room, muttering: "ID cards, bank cards, and charging cables..."
"By the way!" Xue Ling reminded: "You have to bring the meeting gift, as well as some supplements for Youyou to replenish your body."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "I have asked Xiao Huzi to screw it onto the trunk of the car."
After a brief inspection, the three people set off in a hurry.
You can already take the expressway to the airport. Fortunately, there is a new expressway entrance in the old city, so you can get on the expressway directly and go straight to the airport.
Twenty minutes later, the three of them arrived at the airport gate.
There are fewer people at the airport late at night, but it is still bustling with people coming and going.
Cheng Tianyuan took out the ID cards of the three of them and said, "Go get your tickets first and check your luggage."
"Okay." Xue Ling pointed forward: "Over there!"
The two stepped forward quickly and walked out for more than ten steps before they realized that Xiao Huzi had not followed.
The young man was holding his mobile phone and standing there in a daze, not knowing what he was staring at.
"Huzi!" Xue Ling shouted.
The young man swallowed his saliva and suddenly came to his senses and ran towards them.
"Aunt... the young lady just... sent me a message back."
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and asked quickly: "What did she say?"
The young man's eyes were complicated and he whispered: "She said...she missed the Imperial City very much...wanted to go back to Xinyuan. She also said...she missed me a little."
Forehead?
Xue Ling smiled and said: "She is willing to take the initiative to contact you... That should go much smoother. We can bring Youyou over first and change the environment, which will be good for her body and mind."
"No!" Xiao Huzi's face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted nervously, "Aunt! Didn't we persuade her to abort the child?! She - she can wait until her body recovers before returning to the imperial capital."
Xue Ling said warmly: "Don't be nervous or anxious. We are going to discuss it. It is useless to arrange anything in advance now. Both parties have to sit down and discuss it carefully. As for Shan You's specific whereabouts, her father must be consulted.
Mom agrees, plus she has her own opinions, so we can’t rashly help her make a decision."
"Why are you anxious?" Cheng Tianyuan frowned and said, "The matter has not been discussed yet! You are the father of the child. You should not abort the child just by keeping silent. You have to take Shan You's feelings into consideration."
The little tiger frowned and stopped talking, curling his lips and not speaking again, as if he was hesitating about something.
Xue Ling understood the torment and confusion in his heart at this moment and held his hand.
"Let's go, let's go to the South Island first."
It was already after one o'clock when we boarded the plane smoothly.
Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan squinted their eyes and slept lightly, while Xiao Huzi was sitting uneasily, twisting around and constantly changing positions.
More than two hours later, the plane arrived safely.
Waiting and waiting, walking around and around, it was not until dawn that we walked out of the airport.
The three of them yawned again and again and found a hotel near the airport to check in. They planned to sleep first and wait for Ah Hu who would take off in the morning.
Ahu's flight was at eight in the morning, but the provincial capital was relatively close to here, so he landed in less than an hour, and it was only around nine when he walked out of the airport gate.
He looked at the location Cheng Tianyuan sent him and asked the taxi driver to take him there.
When he saw his sleepy son, his first reaction was to curse.
"You stinky brat! If you don't cause trouble for me for a day, are you going to get bored?! You just like to cause trouble, but you also provoke other girls! If I were his father, I would definitely slap you to death first!"
Xiao Huzi hid at the door and hesitated: "Aunt... and Uncle Yuan are next door..."
Ahu has a loud voice, and even if the hotel door is well soundproofed, it can't stop him from roaring like this.
Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan were woken up.
Cheng Tianyuan wrapped himself in pajamas and hurriedly opened the door.
Xue Ling went to the bathroom.
After Ah Hu saw Cheng Tianyuan, he couldn't help scolding his son anymore and kept apologizing.
Cheng Tianyuan stopped: "Wash up first, then go downstairs to have breakfast, and then set off immediately."
Ahu kicked his son to the bathroom, then called Wang Qing to report that he was safe, and specifically asked about his mother's condition.
"Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, we are responsible for the matter here! I have already met A Yuan and the others, and will go to Shanyue's house soon."
Xiao Huzi listened absentmindedly while typing on his mobile phone.
After a while, his cell phone sent out a short message prompt—Miss Shan You.
Xiao Huzi clicked on it, and there were more than a dozen words on it.
——Don’t come! What are you doing in South Island? Do you know anything?
Xiao Huzi replied that he understood and reminded her that everyone would go to her house later.
Shan You quickly replied - Don't come! Are you crazy?! You will be beaten to death by my dad! This is my own business and has nothing to do with you. You can leave.
