Three days later, Huo Yingqi's condition improved, and Song Chunli prepared to return to Beijing. Her daughter's health was the most important thing now, and returning to Yanjing would allow her to receive better treatment.

As for the Xu family in Guangzhou, leaving it to her subordinates to handle is better than doing it themselves; they will certainly follow her instructions.

“Dr. Yingqi said you can move now,” Song Chunli said. “I want to take you and Xiaojian back to Yanjing. Everything is ready at home. Your father, grandfather, and grandmother are all waiting.”

"I..." Huo Yingqi was a little scared and ashamed to face anyone.

Song Chunli smiled and comforted her, "Yingqi, don't be afraid, everyone has forgiven you. As long as you don't do anything foolish again, no one will say anything about you."

Huo Yingqi shook her head and said, "Mom, I'm already dead in Yanjing. If we go back now, how will the Huo family explain this to the outside world?"

"Don't overthink it," Song Chunli said. "We'll just say that you had an accident when you went there, and we thought you had died, but in fact you just got lost."

“Mom, I can’t even convince myself with this reason, let alone others,” Huo Yingqi said. “Since I am already a dead person, I will continue to live under the name Yu Weiwei. I don’t want to bring shame to the Huo family because of me, and I don’t want people from the past to know about my current state. So, Mom, I am already very satisfied as long as I can live in the same place as you and you can come to see me occasionally. I dare not ask for too much.”

“This…” Song Chunli was a little reluctant, “Why do you have to do this to yourself, child?”

“Mom, I know you love me, but I can’t enjoy your love as comfortably as I used to,” Huo Yingqi said. “From now on, Xiao Jian and I will live together. Really, Mom, please don’t make things difficult for me.”

Seeing her daughter's insistence, Song Chunli sighed and said, "Well, since that's the case, I won't force you. I bought a small courtyard near your second brother's house before. When we get to Yanjing, you and Xiaojian can move in there. Perhaps you'll feel more comfortable there."

"Thank you, Mom," Huo Yingqi said. She couldn't be as selfish as before, so moving out was the best solution.

“I know you’re suffering,” Song Chunli said. “It’s more comfortable living outside. Near your second brother’s house, Xiaojian can go to school with Ruihua and Ruimin. He also likes swimming, so we’ll send him to swim lessons. After you go back, just focus on taking care of your health. We’ll take care of everything else.”

"Yes." Huo Yingqi nodded, her voice choked with emotion, finally escaping the hellish place that was the Xu family.

It's so good to have a mother and the care of family.

“Your older brother and sister-in-law went to work in the Soviet Union. They probably don’t know you’ve arrived yet. We didn’t tell them either, since their work is very dangerous and they can’t leave without permission. Don’t hold a grudge against them,” Song Chunli explained, not wanting her daughter to feel resentful because Huo Yingjun hadn’t come to pick her up.

She hopes that her daughter, son, and nephew will get along well and be able to support Huo Yingqi in the future.

"Mom, I know my older brother loves me very much. I understand if he has something going on, and I won't overthink it," Huo Yingqi said, moved. She was deeply grateful for her family's meticulous and careful care. She only thought about living a good life in the future to repay her relatives' kindness.

"Oh, you've become so sensible, but the price you've paid for it is too high." Song Chunli was gratified, but at the same time felt even more heartache.

Huo Yingqi smiled, content with the present, and said, "Mom, I am very content with the present. I didn't cherish the happiness that was within my grasp before, and now that I've suffered, I understand what I said before. So Mom, you should be happy for me. I don't feel bitter at all."

“Good, good child,” Song Chunli said. “Go back to Yanjing and start over. Don’t worry about money. I’ve invested in Tiantian’s shop and will receive a lot of money every year. Your sister-in-law also has a share, so I don’t need to give her any money. From now on, Mom will support you. After your father and I are gone, the shares will be yours, so you and Xiaojian can live a life of comfort and security.”

Huo Yingqi smiled bitterly. She couldn't refuse her mother's help now. After she recovered, she would have to work hard to earn money to support herself and her son. She couldn't rely on others forever.

"Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you," Huo Yingjie said guiltily. He vowed never to do such a thing again, to hurt his family and bring shame upon the clan.

Song Chunli looked at Huo Yingqi with affection and said, "Yingqi, you are my daughter. With you here, I can do my best to take care of you. This is what a mother should do. Even after I'm gone, you will still have your brother and your relatives. It's better than you being here! If I can't take good care of you, I won't be able to rest in peace even if I die."

Huo Yingqi's condition improved, and with medical staff accompanying her, the group chartered a plane and returned to Yanjing.

Because Huo Yingjie was there, He Tiantian wasn't worried about the plane crashing.

The group returned safely to Yanjing.

Song Chunli had already called her maid to have the house cleaned. The house Song Chunli bought near Mao'er Hutong was already spotless.

This was Huo Yingqi's request—to live outside the old house, so that her grandfather wouldn't have to explain things to others on her behalf.

At the same time, she has changed her name and surname, not wanting to bring shame to her family.

Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo came over when they heard you were back. Huo Zhegan went to work, but he'll come over at noon after work.

Huo Yingqi sat in the car, feeling very nervous and somewhat at a loss.

Xu Jian nestled close to his mother, also nervous, but holding her hand, he said, "Mom, don't be afraid. You said that if I make a mistake, I'll admit it and correct it, and you'll forgive me. Grandpa will forgive you too, Mom, don't be nervous."

Hearing her son's words, Huo Yingqi was somewhat moved, and at the same time felt that her son was very sensible.

These years have been tough, but having a son has been her greatest happiness.

Hearing Xu Jian's words, Song Chunli hugged him tightly and said, "Xiao Jian is so obedient and filial. Grandma likes Xiao Jian very much. When we get home, Grandma will cook something delicious for Xiao Jian."

"Thank you, Grandma," Xu Jian said with a smile. "Grandma is so kind."

Huo Yingqi looked out the window with burning eyes. She never thought that she would be able to come back and see the scenery here again in her lifetime.

However, so many years have passed, and Yanjing has undergone earth-shattering changes, leaving her somewhat overwhelmed and quite surprised.

“Mom, the buildings here are very tall,” Xu Jian said. “Xiao Jian will take Mom out to play sometime.”

“Yes, Yanjing has many beautiful sights, and I can’t wait to go,” Huo Yingqi said, looking at her son with affection.

Xu Jian, like a little adult, said, "Then Mom, you need to take good care of yourself, eat more, and then we'll go out and play together."
