Carrying his simple luggage, Yue Heng walked out of the passenger passage.
He had just taken a ten-hour flight from Shanghai to San Francisco.
It was his first time stepping on Mai soil.
San Francisco was a port city on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean in California. It was a world-famous tourist destination.
Perhaps it was because of the large Chinese population, San Francisco often appeared in Hong Kong movies in the past.
Therefore, it was also one of the most famous cities in China.
At the exit of San Francisco International Airport, Yue Heng got into a taxi.
"Mud. Fat. Fat."
The taxi driver was an old black man who was as skinny as a monkey. The words that came out of his mouth were actually crooked Mandarin: "Bad, Yin, Lai, Ma, Guo!"
It took Yue Heng a second to understand what the driver meant.
He handed over the note he had prepared. "Thank you. Please send me to this address."
"Thank God!"
Lao Hei sighed. "It's great that you can speak English. Chinese is so damn hard to learn!"
Yue Heng couldn't help but laugh. "I think your Chinese is pretty good. You have a talent for languages."
"Of course."
Lao Hei believed him and bragged happily. "Everyone says I'm a genius!"
Then, he turned on Brother Hei's rap mode and talked non-stop the whole way.
Yue Heng couldn't even get a word in. He was happy to listen to the other party's bragging.
"Buddy, we're here!"
After more than half an hour of driving, the taxi stopped in a beautiful neighborhood.
Lao Hei pointed to the house on the right and said, "If your address is correct, this is the place."
"Thank you."
Yue Heng paid the fare and got out of the car with his luggage.
"Hey, buddy!"
Lao Hei stuck his head out of the car and handed over a business card. "If you need the car, you can call me anytime!"
Yue Heng took the business card. "Okay!"
"Welcome to Mai!"
Old Hei saluted him, then stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
Yue Heng looked at the door plate erected in front of the courtyard. After confirming that he was not at the wrong place, he went forward and knocked on the door.
It was a two-story villa. It was a typical Maysian-style wooden house. It was surrounded by a fence, and there were many flowers planted at the front and back of the house. It was neat and tidy.
The door opened and a middle-aged woman wearing an apron and cleaning gloves appeared in front of Yue Heng.
Yue Heng smiled and said, "Mom, I'm here to see you."
This woman dressed like a housewife was his mother, Ye Wan!
Yue Heng knew Ye Wan's address in San Francisco because she had sent things over several times.
"Heng?"
Ye Wan couldn't believe her eyes. The huge surprise made her eyes tear up instantly. Without thinking, she opened her arms and hugged the young man in front of her. "Xiao Heng!"
She used so much force that it was as if Yue Heng would fly away if she let go.
Yue Heng patted his mother's back gently and said, "It's me."
At this time, Yue Heng saw two little girls sitting on the floor of the living room. They were dressed and looked exactly the same.
They were looking at the uninvited guest with innocent and curious eyes.
"Woof!"
A big golden retriever suddenly jumped out and barked at Yue Heng.
Ye Wan came back to her senses and quickly let go of Yue Heng. "Come in, child. Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Mai? I could have asked your Uncle Lai Shu to pick you up …"
She rambled on and took off her apron and gloves in a flurry. Then, she chased the big golden retriever that had approached her to the side.
Yue Heng looked at the decoration and furnishings of the house and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
He could see that Ye Wan's family lived well. Although the house was far from the city, the environment was very good. The decoration and appliances were also quite new. They were of the middle-class standard in Mai.
Ye Wan ran to the kitchen to get a drink for Yue Heng. The big golden retriever that had been chased away sneaked over again.
Yue Heng reached out and rubbed its big furry head.
After a few strokes, the big golden retriever showed great kindness to him.
Ye Wan brought Yue Heng cola, orange juice, soda, and a lot of other drinks. Then she sat down beside him.
Although she had wiped away her tears, her eyes were still red.
Compared to the last time they met, Yue Heng had obviously grown up and matured a lot.
"Heng."
Ye Wan couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you start school? Why are you in Mai? Who did you come with? "
Yue Heng opened the cola and took a sip. He answered, "I asked for leave to come here alone."
Ye Wan was shocked. "You came here just to see Mom?"
When she thought about how Yue Heng was still underage and how he had flown tens of thousands of kilometers alone to see her, her heart was filled with sorrow.
She felt that she had let her son down.
"Not really."
Yue Heng explained, "This time, I came to Mai mainly to inspect the equipment."
Ye Wan was speechless.
If Yue Heng was an adult in his twenties or thirties, it would be normal for him to come to Mai for business.
But he was only a high school student now!
Yue Heng briefly told Ye Wan about the company he had set up with someone else.
He didn't reveal too much information.
He only told his mother that he had invented a new technology with a lot of market potential. He had used the technology as a shareholder to cooperate with someone else. Because he needed to purchase some Mai equipment, he had come to Mai this time.
Most of what Yue Heng said was true.
But he definitely wouldn't tell her the real purpose of coming to Mai. He couldn't tell her!
And Yue Heng's purpose of telling Ye Wan all this was to reassure his mother.
He wanted to tell her that he had grown up and had his own business. There was no need to worry about the future!
Ye Wan was in disbelief.
She knew that Yue Heng matured earlier than other children his age, but she didn't expect him to step into the adult world.
"Mom!"
Just at this time, two little girls ran over unsteadily.
One pounced on the big golden retriever lying on the ground, and the other hugged Ye Wan's thigh.
Ye Wan couldn't be bothered to get to the bottom of it. She quickly picked up the little girl hugging Ye Wan's thigh. "Jinxuan, this is Big Brother."
"Big Brother?"
Jinxuan blinked her big eyes and said in a cute voice.
Yue Heng couldn't help but reach out and take her into his arms.
Jinxuan giggled and wasn't afraid. "Big Brother, Big Brother!"
Then the other little girl let go of the big golden retriever and hugged Yue Heng's thigh.
"Big Brother, Big Brother!"
Ye Wan smiled and said, "This is Jinyue."
Yue Heng freed his left hand and hugged her. Then, she sat on his lap with Jinxuan.
Looking at the three siblings being so affectionate, Ye Wan's eyes turned red again.
But there was no longer any sadness or bitterness in her heart. There was only endless warmth and joy!
