Late.
Around 9 pm.
Dong Xuebing and the rest left the hospital and went to Qian Lihua's apartment. It's quiet outside the estate, and it's time to rest.
Liu Chenlong held Yu Meixia's hand as they entered the apartment.
Qian Lihua hugged Yu Qianqian and sat on the sofa with a big smile. She kissed Yu Qianqian's forehead.
Yu Qianqian blushed and let her grandma hug her. She doesn't know what to say.
Dong Xuebing felt lonely after the family reunited. He saw the family of four chatting intimately, and no one poured him a cup of tea. Dong Xuebing laughed and went to the kitchen to get himself a blanket. He went to the water dispenser to pour himself a glass of water and smoked while leaning against the kitchen window. Dong Xuebing is also happy that Yu Meixia and her family are reunited. That's why he gave them some time to chat.
"Tongtong, do you want some water?"
"I'm not thirsty. It's fine."
"This will be your home in the future. Oh, you are not used to calling me Tongtong, right?"
"A little, but … it's fine."
"You are a grown-up now. Your mother and I will call you Meixia in the future."
"Ok."
"I forgot to ask you. Where is your husband?"
"He … passed away."
"What happened? Is he sick or something? "
Yu Meixia told them about what happened to her husband, Yu Qianqian, and how Dong Xuebing had helped them. Qian Lihua and Liu Chenlong were heartbroken. They knew their daughter had suffered a lot after leaving them, and they also told Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian about how they went to look for her and why they divorced.
Half an hour later.
The whole family sat together sadly, sighing endlessly.
"Oh, where is Xiao Dong?" Liu Chenlong remembered Dong Xuebing and looked around. "Xiao Dong? Xiao Dong? "
Qian Lihua also slapped her thigh. "Look at me. I forgot to pour a glass of water for Xiao Dong. Where is he?"
"I am here." Dong Xuebing heard someone calling him and threw the cigarette butt out of the window. He walked out of the kitchen and thought to himself. You all are really good. You all only remember me now?
Qian Lihua stood up and apologized. "I'm sorry, Xiao Dong. It's all my fault."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "It's fine. I will smoke in the kitchen."
Liu Chenlong walked over and placed his hand on Dong Xuebing's shoulder and pulled him to a chair. "Have a seat. I will prepare some tea for you."
"Uncle Liu, you don't have to be so polite."
"It's all thanks to you that we can see Tong … Meixia again." Liu Chenlong pinched his arm. "Meixia and Qianqian were begging on the road. If it weren't for your help, I don't know what would have happened to them. Also, I heard about Meixia's work and Qianqian's schooling. Thank you for taking care of my daughter and granddaughter for the past two years."
Qian Lihua added. "If you had not helped me today, I would have been killed by that Jetta, and I will never see my daughter and granddaughter again. Xiao Dong, I am grateful!"
"That's right!" Liu Chenlong patted Dong Xuebing's arm. "Don't say anything."
Dong Xuebing smiled. "I don't have any credit. Maybe it's God's arrangement for me to help your family reunite. Now, I have completed my mission, and I have one less thing to worry about. Haha …"
Qian Lihua suddenly said. "Oh, my daughter had borrowed money from you." She took out a bank card from her wallet. "There is 200,000 RMB in here. The password is …"
Liu Chenlong remembered and quickly stopped his ex-wife. "Let me do it! You don't need to do anything! "
Qian Lihua pulled her ex-husband's hand. "Let me do it. How much do you earn?"
Liu Chenlong and Qian Lihua's positions were about the same. A few decades ago, before the restructuring, both of them were at the same rank. Although their positions were about the same, their treatment was different. The head of the City's Industrial and Commercial Bank was obviously earning more than the head of the City's Electric Company. The difference was not just a little bit.
Liu Chenlong did not like to hear that. He frowned and said, "It's not a matter of earning more or less. It's my daughter."
"She is also my daughter!" Qian Lihua looks at her husband. "Can we stop arguing in front of our daughter?"
"I also don't want to argue with you. Anyway, I will pay for her."
"Liu Chenlong! Are you still not done? "
"What do you mean I am not done?"
Which couple doesn't quarrel? Not to mention, they are divorced. Before Dong Xuebing could settle this topic, they started arguing.
Dong Xuebing smiled helplessly and did not say anything.
Yu Meixia wanted to say something to stop them but did not say anything. After all, they had only known each other for less than an hour.
Yu Qianqian's eyes turned red and tears rolled down her cheeks when she saw her grandparents quarreling. "You … you two stop fighting."
Liu Chenlong panicked and quickly said. "Qianqian, stop crying. Grandpa will stop talking."
Qian Lihua's heart ached for Qian Qianqian. She hugged Qian Qianqian and kissed her on the forehead. "Don't cry, my dear. Grandpa and Grandma are just playing with you.
Liu Chenlong laughed. "That's right. We are just playing with you."
Yu Qianqian sniffled and stopped crying.
Qian Lihua was relieved and pinched Yu Qianqian's nose affectionately. "You are the same as your mother. When your mother was young, whenever your grandfather and I quarreled, your mother would cover her eyes and cry. Haha …"
Liu Chenlong seemed to have recalled what happened a few decades ago and smiled.
Yu Meixia blushed and felt embarrassed.
"Are you going to pay?" Liu Chenlong looks at his ex-wife.
Qian Lihua glanced at her ex-wife and nodded. She passed her bank card to Dong Xuebing. "Xiao Dong, keep this card. If it is not convenient for you, you can tell me your bank account number, and I will transfer the money to you tomorrow."
Dong Xuebing refused to take the card. "Auntie Qian, this is not fun."
"Hurry up and take it!" Qian Lihua pushed the card into Dong Xuebing's hand.
"I am helping Sister Yu is because I treat her as a friend. When she is in trouble, I must help her. To be honest, I don't expect her to repay me. Furthermore, you know I lack everything except money. Just take it back."
Qian Lihua had driven Dong Xuebing's Cayenne and knows he does not lack money. "It's up to you whether you have money or not. But we must repay you."
"I don't need it."
Qian Lihua refused. "Just take it."
"That's right. Xiao Dong, just take it." Liu Chenlong added.
Dong Xuebing doesn't want the money, but Qian Lihua and Liu Chenlong insist on giving it to Dong Xuebing.
In the end, Yu Meixia said softly. "Dad, Mom, I will repay Xiao Bing slowly when I earn money. I cannot accept your money."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Sister Yu had already said so. Just leave it at that."
Qian Lihua and Liu Chenlong were speechless and could only give up after a while.
Suddenly, Yu Qianqian yawned and rubbed her eyes. "Mum, I am sleepy."
Qian Lihua immediately said. "You all came from Yan Tai County, right? We had been working for the whole night, and we should be tired. Let's talk tomorrow. Let's go to bed first. "
Yu Meixia asked. "Then we …"
"Let's stay at my place." Qian Lihua laughed and held Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian's hands, pulling them towards the bedroom. "Let's clean up the room together. I want to hug you to sleep. Huh … no … the bed is not big enough. Look at me. I still treat you like a five-year-old. Haha … I am too happy. You and Yu Qianqian can sleep in the small room. I will not join you."
Yu Meixia paused for a second and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Xiao Bing, are we going to stay here?" Maybe she is used to relying on Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing was sweating profusely. Damn! Your parents are here, and why are you asking me? You are putting me in a difficult position. Dong Xuebing quickly explained to Liu Chenlong and Liu Chenlong. "I am afraid Sister Yu and the rest will not have a place to stay and had booked a hotel for them. I will cancel it." Yu Meixia is telling Liu Chenlong and Liu Chenlong that Yu Meixia is looking for Dong Xuebing for a reason. Dong Xuebing had slept with Yu Meixia's daughter, and Dong Xuebing cannot tell Liu Chenlong and Liu Chenlong about this.
Liu Chenlong nodded. "We are home. How can we stay in a hotel?"
Qian Lihua nodded. "Meixia, I will accompany you back to Yan Tai County tomorrow. Bring your and Qianqian's luggage over, and you can stay with me from now on."
Yu Meixia nodded in agreement.
Liu Chenlong suddenly remembered something and cleared his throat. "Lihua, what about me?"
Qian Lihua looked at Liu Chenlong and did not reply.
Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian share one room, and Qian Lihua share another. Liu Chenlong does not have a place to stay, and Qian Lihua's sofa is not big enough for him. Liu Chenlong sighed and smiled when he saw his ex-wife keeping quiet. "You all can sleep. I will come over tomorrow morning." He had finally seen his daughter, and he does not want to leave. But he has no choice as he had been divorced for so many years.
Dong Xuebing looked at Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian. "Uncle Liu, let me send you off?"
Liu Chenlong nodded and took one last look at Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian before leaving with Dong Xuebing. "Let's go."
Suddenly, Qian Lihua, who was helping Yu Qianqian with a new toothbrush in the bathroom, looked out and said. "I will not stop you if you want to go back."
"Huh?" Liu Chenlong was stunned. "You want me to stay here?"
Qian Lihua did not look at him. "If you still snore like before, I will kick you down the stairs! You have to be mentally prepared! "
Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian laughed when they heard this.
Liu Chenlong laughed and left Dong Xuebing behind. He walked back with his head held high.
Dong Xuebing is also happy for them.
