Xianglan likes the young master because He Doudou is the future heir, but she likes He Tiantian even more because He Tiantian looks a lot like the young lady.

Xianglan nodded and said, "Anyway, I think Miss Tiantian not only looks like you, but also has a similar personality."

"Hehe, that's true." Bai Qiongyu laughed. "I miss her a little."

"Anyway, Miss Tiantian will be coming next year," Xianglan comforted her. "Then we can all be together as a family. If we set up a factory in China, we might have even more opportunities to meet."

“Hmm,” Bai Qiongyu said. “I guess Qi Shuliang came here to discuss setting up a factory back in China with me.”

"Oh, then you must take this very seriously, Miss!" Xianglan said with a smile. "I want to see those twins. Although I receive photos every month, nothing compares to seeing them in person."

“I’d love to see it too, it’s festive.” Bai Qiongyu smiled, her wrinkles softening more than usual.

Just then, the maid came in and said, "Mr. Qi, Mrs. Qi has arrived."

Bai Qiongyu went downstairs, where He Jingyu and Wang Shuping were already waiting.

"Ms. Bai, it's been a month since we last met, and you still look as elegant as ever!" Qi Shuliang complimented, having grown accustomed to giving appropriate praise to women he met in the United States.

Bai Qiongyu smiled and said, "Mr. Qi is also handsome and has an extraordinary demeanor!"

"Hehe, Mother, elder brother, you two don't need to flatter each other so much, it makes me a little embarrassed," He Jingyu said. "Come, come, the sun is shining brightly outside, let's go out and sit for a while."

The food and drinks, including beverages, wine, fruit, and snacks, are already prepared outside.

“Okay, I love the Bai family’s garden the most,” Qi Shuliang said, taking Annie’s hand and following He Jingyu to the back garden.

The back garden owes a debt to He Jingyu and Wang Shuping, who added some of their favorite flowers and plants to the original garden, making it a beautiful sight all year round.

Since they were all on the same side, Bai Qiongyu didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up a cup of rose tea and asked softly, "Shuliang, tell me, you didn't just come here to have fun today, did you?"

"Hehe, Ms. Bai, you have a keen eye. You can see right through my thoughts," Qi Shuliang laughed, then took out a stack of documents from his bag. "These are the materials Zheng Min sent you. Take a look. If you're interested, we can go back to China together to invest and set up a factory!"

Bai Qiongyu did not answer, but took the stack of documents and looked at them carefully.

The others quietly drank their tea.

After a while, Bai Qiongyu took off her glasses, handed them to Xianglan, and nodded, saying, "This is a good project, and I will consider it carefully."

"I look forward to cooperating with you," Qi Shuliang said with a smile. "Now that we've finished our formal discussions, let's talk about things back home."

“Great!” He Jingyu said, “Big brother, let me tell you, in a while, the peaches I planted in Qijia Village will be ripe. I really want to eat those peaches.”

"Didn't you already plant some peaches? Why are you still missing the peaches from Qijia Village?" Qi Shuliang asked with a smile. This sworn brother was too nostalgic.

"It's different. I used the same method and the same materials to graft peach trees, and although they taste good, they can't compare to those from Qijia Village," He Jingyu said regretfully. He added that transportation is inconvenient now, and if possible, he really wanted to buy some and mail them here.

"But the peaches from Qijia Village are really delicious," Qi Shuliang agreed. "Let's not talk about peaches anymore. Tell me, how's your studies going lately?"

He Jingyu shrugged and smiled helplessly, "I barely managed! Luckily, my mother was by my side, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to control myself. But this makes my mother very tired, and it makes me uneasy."

"You've already tried your best, and I'm very satisfied." Bai Qiongyu smiled; she didn't have high expectations for her son.

He Jingyu knew his mother was encouraging him, and he knew his own limitations.

Wang Shuping and Annie were chatting about their children, jewelry, and the latest clothing.

“Shuping, I have an invitation to a fashion show. If you’d like, you can come with me,” Annie asked. She knew Wang Shuping was a full-time housewife and wanted to take her out for some fun.

Wang Shuping nodded and said, "Okay, I'll buy Tiantian a few nice outfits. In the past, when things were different in China, people couldn't wear brightly colored clothes. Now that we've reformed and opened up, we can wear them, and I'm going to dress Tiantian up nicely."

“Okay, not only will you buy clothes for Tian Tian, ​​but you should too,” Annie said with a smile. Anyway, the Bai family is rich, so buying a few clothes is nothing.

“Okay, let’s go together then,” Wang Shuping said. Although her mother-in-law was very good to her, there were some things her mother-in-law didn’t have time to take her out for walks or to make friends.

Annie became Wang Shuping's social media liaison.

Through Annie, Wang Shuping made many friends.

When people have free time, they can relax and enjoy tea or go shopping.

Qi Zhenghan and He Doudou stared at each other, neither of them saying a word.

"Do you miss your sister?" Qi Zhenghan asked He Doudou in a low voice.

Without hesitation, He Doudou replied, "Yes!"

His mother showed him photos every day, and he often received gifts and letters from his sister. He always remembered that he had a sister in China.

I want to too!

Qi Zhenghan thought to himself.

His busy work allows him to temporarily forget about it, but whenever he sees anything related to He Tiantian, he thinks of that lively woman.

He knew she was already married.

Disturbing her further will only cause her trouble.

But love is like a tenacious little grass; even if it grows under a stubborn rock, it can still sprout tender shoots from the cracks in the rock.

When he couldn't stand the thought of it anymore, he would go back to China once.

Upon seeing her, he feared he might do something undignified, so he would hurriedly leave.

After leaving, a new round of longing began!

After receiving the document from his sister, he wanted to go back to China.

He kept telling himself it was just work, but in the quiet of the night, when he was lost in thought, only he knew that he missed her and wanted to see her.

Sometimes, he regrets it.

When you're young and full of vigor, why do you stop pursuing someone after being rejected?

If he had continued pursuing her, perhaps he would already be her husband, and those two lovely children would be calling him Dad.

"Your sister is in the country, don't you miss her?" He Doudou asked, tilting her head.

"I want to!" Qi Zhenghan said, smiling helplessly.

He Doudou tilted her head and asked seriously, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"Okay!" Qi Zhenghan smiled wryly. He wanted to take a few more glances at the face that resembled He Tiantian's.

“You’re lying. You’re clearly just in a bad mood,” He Doudou said. “If you’re unhappy about something, you can tell me. I won’t tell anyone.”

"Hehe!" Qi Zhenghan chuckled and patted He Doudou's round head.
