After He Xiaomei finished her performance, she stayed obediently in her grandma's arms and stopped talking.
He Peixu and Bai Wanjing saw that their granddaughter had calmed down, and then they looked at their son and daughter-in-law not far away.
"Dad, Mom."
"Dad, Mom..."
He Peixu nodded in reply.
"Quick, come and sit, don't, stand." Bai Wanjing stretched out a hand and motioned for Cheng Nuo to sit next to her.
Cheng Nuo understood what her mother-in-law meant, walked over and sat down next to her.
He Zikai also walked over and sat next to Cheng Nuo.
The family sat together and chatted. At first, Cheng Nuo didn't notice the change in her mother-in-law's speech. After a while, she felt that her mother-in-law spoke much more fluently than the previous two days, and her tone and breathing when speaking were not so difficult.
Cheng Nuo was convinced that her mother-in-law's condition seemed to be much better than before.
Cheng Nuo was very excited and happy about such a big change.
While her mother-in-law was talking to her daughter, Cheng Nuo leaned her head next to He Zikai and whispered to He Zikai, "Ah Kai, mom's condition seems to have improved a lot."
"Well, I look a lot more energetic." He Zikai answered Cheng Nuo's words in a low voice without saying much.
And He Zikai thought a lot in his heart, could his mother's change have anything to do with Mo Kuang?
At dinner time, the family sat in the restaurant to eat. He Xiaomei sat between her grandfather and grandma. Her lively personality made it impossible for her to calm down. She kept shouting that she wanted to eat this and then that after eating.
The grandparents sitting next to He Xiaomei were very happy to serve their granddaughter, especially He Peixu. When he heard what his granddaughter wanted to eat, he would put whatever food he wanted into her bowl.
He Zikai and Cheng Nuo sat across from each other, feeling a little sorry as they watched the two elders taking care of their daughter.
"Xiaomei, you can pick up whatever you want to eat. If you can't reach it, tell Mommy and she will pick it up for you." Cheng Nuo still couldn't hold it back and said to his daughter.
"Yeah, okay." He Xiaomei nodded happily.
He Peixu and Bai Wanjing knew what their daughter-in-law meant. She was worried that her granddaughter would cause trouble to her if she made too many demands.
"Cheng Nuo, it's okay. Whatever Xiaomei wants to eat, I can just pick up the food for her. It won't be any trouble." He Peixu said kindly.
"Dad, I am..." Cheng Nuo was about to say that he was worried that his father-in-law and mother-in-law had been taking care of their daughter and they would not care about eating, so that's why he said this, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the old man.
"Your mother and I are very happy to have dinner together as a family, and we are happy to take care of the children." He Peixu said with a smile.
Hearing what the old man said, Cheng Nuo couldn't say anything else. After nodding in reply to the old man, he looked at He Zikai.
He Zikai met Cheng Nuo's gaze and told her with his eyes that she didn't have to worry too much, just follow what Mom and Dad wanted to do.
Therefore, after finishing the meal, He Xiaomei, who was being taken care of, was very happy and felt that tonight's meal was so delicious. He Peixu and Bai Wanjing, who were taking care of their granddaughter, were also very happy. Especially Bai Wanjing, his eyes almost never left his granddaughter.
After the meal, Cheng Nuo sat with her mother-in-law in the living room and chatted. He Xiaomei stayed in her grandmother's arms, listening to her grandmother and mommy chatting. Occasionally she would add a few words of her own, but most of the time she spent playing games on her phone.
Upstairs, He Peixu and He Zikai were sitting in the study. The atmosphere was not as warm as the living room downstairs, but a bit cold.
"Dad, there is something I want to ask you." He Zikai said.
"Yeah." He Peixu nodded, waiting for his son's next words.
He Zikai looked into his father's eyes, and after mentally preparing himself, he said, "Who is Mo Kuang?"
He Peixu's expression changed slightly, but immediately returned to its previous appearance.
And even the smallest changes did not escape He Zikai's eyes.
"A friend." He Peixu replied as indifferently as possible.
"A mutual friend between you and mom?" He Zikai continued to ask.
"Well, our friend." He Peixu answered calmly.
He Zikai looked at the indifference on his father's face and knew that if he asked about Mo Kuang, his father would not say too much. He still understood his father.
Then, He Zikai changed the topic and asked what he had guessed in the afternoon, "You know everything about dad and sister, right?"
He had already guessed about Mo Kuang's identity, so naturally, he had to relate everything about his sister to Mo Kuang, as well as Mo Kuang's relationship with his parents.
I suddenly felt that the truth seemed to be around me, but no one had ever told me.
He Peixu did not answer his son immediately. He looked at his son for a while and then asked, "Now that your two capable men are by your side, do you plan to continue the investigation?"
He Peixu felt naive even when he asked these questions. Some things were already obvious. Moreover, now, Mo Kuang and Zuo Yu were both in Xigang City. Sooner or later, Rui Rui's matter would be made public, and the past grudges would also be hidden.
Unable to live.
"Yes." He Zikai answered simply. His father must have known this result, and I couldn't figure out why he asked such an obvious question.
"Hey..." He Peixu sighed, shook his head helplessly, and then said, "There are some things that I don't want you to know, I just don't want to see you in pain."
What happened to her daughter has made me feel sad all these years, and Wanjing's whole person has changed. How can she let her son know about such a heavy blow?
Nowadays, Wanjing's condition is getting better little by little, and she has thought about some things because of time. If her son knows what his character will do, she is worried that something will happen to her family again.
"Whether it hurts or not, you can only know for sure after you know it." The only thought in He Zikai's heart was to know everything about her sister.
Maybe I can no longer give up the persistence I have always had. No matter what the future holds, I still have to know everything that happened to my sister.
He Peixu knew that he could not persuade his son. He knew his son's character very well.
The study became quiet, neither father nor son spoke, and there was no sound at all. He Zikai could vaguely hear his father's breathing.
"Zi Kai..." Suddenly, He Peixu called out.
He Zikai said nothing, knowing that his father still had something to say next.
"Let me think about it again." He Peixu said.
He Zikai's eyes were startled, and after he realized his father's words, he immediately asked, "Tell me about my sister?"
"Yeah." He Peixu said that he needed to think carefully before deciding whether to tell his son.
But think about it, people in Xigang City today, if one day, whether it is Mo Kuang or Zuo Yu, come into contact with their son, they will be able to tell their son about their daughter at any time, and there is another person, Li Fangqiong, she is
A time bomb that will explode at any time.
As for the people injured after the explosion, even I dare not guess the scope of the impact. (To be continued)
