The news that the pharmaceutical group had withdrawn the lawsuit quickly reached Qiao's father's ears. He was secretly grateful and immediately turned to his wife to share the good news.
After hearing this, Mother Qiao was slightly moved.
"Then... you have to call them and thank them properly."
Dad Qiao thought for a while and said, "He probably still doesn't want to see us, and we can't embarrass him.
Let’s do this. I’ll write a thank-you note in my own hand, and when the bodyguard comes to deliver the meal, I’ll ask him to send it back.”
Mother Qiao nodded and praised: "Cheng Huanran... is indeed a rare and good man."
"Um."
Dad Qiao said warmly: "Fortunately, with his help this time, our problems of three meals a day and nursing staff can be solved.
I don’t have to run in and out to buy groceries or order takeout, and I have delicious meals on time.
The nurse is also very professional and takes care of you day and night, so that I can be free to take care of Xiaohui."
Mother Qiao's eyes flashed with tears, and her words were filled with regret.
"If Xiaohui hadn't become like this...they would definitely be able to get together.
A man as good as him is only seen once in a lifetime...We Xiaohui are unlucky children after all."
Dad Qiao glanced at her and whispered: "Why are you talking nonsense again?
Our Xiaohui is so smart and beautiful. As long as her illness is cured, she will still be able to find a good man to spend her life with."
"It's just that-" Qiao's mother still felt unwilling, "It's no longer possible to find a good man like Cheng Huanran."
Dad Qiao reminded: “Character and quality are the most important.
If we can't find someone with such good conditions, we'll try to find someone with similar character to him.
For our family, there is no shortage of money or opportunities now. As long as the character is good enough and can give us Xiaohui happiness, there is no need to force anything else."
"Alas..." Qiao's mother lowered her eyes and murmured: "This is the only way.
You are right. When conditions do not allow it, we can only lower some of the requirements and strive to maintain the most important requirements."
Dad Qiao patted the back of her hand and said warmly: "Don't think too much, let's tidy up and we can be discharged from the hospital later."
"Yep."
Mother Qiao finally became happy and said: "I will go back to the hotel to take a shower and change clothes, and then we will go see Xiaohui together.
I brought the scarf for Xiaohui and let her choose the pattern and color she likes."
Dad Qiao showed a pleased smile and nodded gently.
… Two months later, winter has arrived in Xinyuan, and fallen leaves can be seen everywhere in the back garden. Yellow leaves are everywhere, blown by the north wind and scattered everywhere.
Wang Xiaoxiao held up her protruding belly, wore maternity clothes, and held a big broom in her hand to sweep fallen leaves.
"Xiaoxiao!"
Liu Ying was wrapped in a floral cotton-padded jacket, squinting her eyes and shouting: "Go back to the house and rest! Don't sweep it!"
Wang Xiaoxiao raised his head when he heard this and smiled with a row of neat white teeth.
"Grandma! Don't worry! I can sweep it soon."
At this time, Mother Xue stepped out, her steps a little staggering.
"Xiao, don't worry about those rotten leaves. I'll ask the workers to help clean them later.
The gardeners will come to work tomorrow, you can just let them take care of it, you don’t have to clean it."
Wang Xiaoxiao chuckled and shook his head: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I just want to exercise my hands and feet."
Mother Xue looked at her protruding round belly and couldn't help but laugh lovingly.
"It's only over four months old, and it's already that big. It's similar to other people's seven or eight months old."
Wang Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed and whispered: "During the pregnancy test the day before yesterday, the doctor said that the child's nutrition was good and he was not too small.
Yangyang always asks me to eat more, but I think I have eaten enough."
"You can just eat."
Mother Xue narrowed her eyes with a smile and said: "Eat until you are full, eat as little as possible and eat as often as you can."
At this time, a gust of north wind blew, blowing fallen leaves and dust everywhere.
Wang Xiaoxiao quickly stood in front of the old man and urged: "Grandma, it's windy here, you'd better go back to the living room.
Don’t worry, I will sweep it soon.”
"Okay, okay."
Mother Xue smiled kindly: "As you say, I'll go back inside to warm up by the fire first.
Don't stay outside for too long, as the wind will inevitably blow dust, which is not good for the babies."
Wang Xiaoxiao nodded and agreed: "Okay! I'll go in after scanning."
"ah?"
Mother Xue immediately disagreed and said: "The garden is a big place and it will take most of the day to clean it.
Just exercise moderately, but don't get tired.
You've been busy taking exams recently, so don't be too tired."
Wang Xiaoxiao chuckled, feeling warm in her heart.
"Grandma, don't worry. The exam won't start until next week. I've already reviewed it."
Xue’s mother asked with concern: “Last time I heard that I was applying for that one… that one would not go to school for a year, right?
Do the teachers and leaders of the school agree?
Have you applied?"
"Already applied."
Wang Xiaoxiao shyly whispered: "Both the counselor and the head teacher agreed, just wait for the director's approval.
I am an athlete, so the school will help me in many aspects as appropriate."
Mother Xue smiled happily and said: "That's good, that's good.
If you have any difficulties, you must tell your mother-in-law and Yangyang, don't hide it, you know?"
"Know."
Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and explained: "My parents said the same."
Mother Xue suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, where is your mother-in-law?"
It seems I haven’t seen her since this morning.”
"oh!"
Wang Xiaoxiao replied: "Mom, she went to the airport to pick up relatives...it seems to be relatives from Rongcheng.
It seems that the other party is here to do some business. Mom said she would come back with the guests in the evening and is busy with business today."
Mother Xue blinked her eyes and asked: "What relatives?
Why haven't I heard of it?
If they were relatives from Rongcheng, Sister Ying should know.
She tells me everything."
"Maybe mom hasn't told grandma yet."
Wang Xiaoxiao explained: "Mom went out very early, Yangyang and I were in the gym, and no one else was awake yet.
By the way, mom said that man’s name is Chen Min, he’s dad’s good brother and uncle Ahu’s cousin.”
Mother Xue suddenly nodded and said: "So it's him! He was also here when you had a wedding before.
He is Ahu's cousin. He used to do business with your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and they have always had a good relationship.
Wait! What is he doing in the imperial capital?"
"have no idea."
Wang Xiaoxiao replied: "Mom left the house in a hurry and said she wouldn't go home for dinner today and might eat out in the evening and then come back.
She said that Uncle Ahu and Xiao Huzi would also go together.
If she wants to come back for dinner, she will call the kitchen directly."
"oh oh."
Mother Xue muttered suspiciously: "I guess I have something important to do."
Wang Xiaoxiao looked at the sky and urged: "Grandma, go back to the living room quickly.
It's a bit cold outside, so you can't let the cold wind blow in here."
"Okay, okay."
Mother Xue slowly turned around and staggered back, not forgetting to tell her: "You also come into the living room quickly, don't be tired."
