The first thing I need to do is meet Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao.

As soon as Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao sat down by her bedside, she reached out and pulled them both, thanking them profusely once again.

Yang Qiaoqiao then realized that the old lady was so determined to find the plum vase not only because it was their family heirloom.

More importantly, it was something she sold to raise money before she went abroad.

As people get older, they become more attached to their old belongings and feel increasingly ashamed to sell the things passed down from their ancestors.

That's why, even after she fell ill, Xia Yuntao still went all the way to Yun County to look for this thing.

Fortunately, after she sold it, it didn't end up abroad; instead, it eventually found its way to Sichuan Province.

Huo Beixiao was able to use his information network to find out where the item was and, after some trouble, retrieve it.

The old lady was still not in good spirits. After talking to them for a while and eating some liquid food, she fell asleep again.

Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao also looked at the sky and said goodbye to Xia Yuntao.

Xia Yuntao saw them off at the gate and tried to persuade them to stay, saying, "Qiaoqiao, why don't you and Xiao Huo stay here with Grandpa for a while? There are plenty of empty rooms in the house, which is more convenient than staying in a guesthouse."

Yang Qiaoqiao could tell that Xia Yuntao genuinely wanted them to stay at his home.

It's probably because their children are all abroad, leaving only the two of them as elderly people in China, which makes them feel lonely.

Yang Qiaoqiao thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay, Grandpa Xia, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. We'll go to the hotel to pick up our luggage and then come back to stay."

Xia Yuntao's face immediately lit up with a delighted smile, "Why would you need to go all the way to get the luggage yourself?"

"Xiao Li, go to XX Hotel and retrieve Xiao Huo and Qiao Qiao's luggage."

Xia Yuntao gave the driver an instruction, then busied himself asking Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao what they wanted to eat, so he could have the family chef prepare it.
