The next day, Yang Qiaoqiao received a call from Tong Xuejiao early in the morning, asking them to pick her up and take her to the airport.

Yang Qiaoqiao had already bought her plane ticket, so naturally she wouldn't refuse to pick her up, even for such a small thing.

Because there were many people traveling with them, and one car wasn't enough, Zhu Dong and Guo Tao each drove a car to take them to the airport.

Yang Qiaoqiao, Huo Beixiao, and Lin Xiaohui rode in a car with their two children.

Ou Gang and Huo Beixiao's other subordinate, Song Hu, who was in charge of security, rode in the same car with Zhou Yang, Wu Xiaocao, and Luo Yingzi.

Yang Qiaoqiao and her group went to pick up Tong Xuejiao in this car.

When the car arrived at Tong Xuejiao's house, Tong Xuejiao was already standing there waiting.

Upon seeing Yang Qiaoqiao's car, she disregarded her nearly six-month pregnant belly and hurriedly tried to get in.

Standing next to her, Yan Heqing quickly steadied her. "Tong Xuejiao, can't you be more careful? Even if you don't care about yourself, you should at least care about my son in your belly, right?"

Tong Xuejiao rolled her eyes at Yan Heqing, got into the car, and was about to close the door.

Yan Heqing pulled the car door shut and said to Yang Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, do you mind if there's one more person in your car?"

Yang Qiaoqiao: ...

Can she say she minds?

Before she could speak, Tong Xuejiao became angry, "Yan Heqing, are you out of your mind? How many times have I told you, the child in my belly isn't yours, it has nothing to do with you?"

"Are you unable to understand, or do you have a penchant for putting a green hat on your own head?"

Yan Heqing's gentle and refined face revealed a somewhat roguish smile, "Tong Xuejiao, we've been childhood sweethearts since we were little, so why should we distinguish between yours and mine?"

What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours.

As he spoke, he squeezed onto the bus.

Although there's no such thing as overloading in cars these days, it's still quite cramped to have five adults and two children in a sedan, including the driver.

As Yan Heqing sat down, he pulled Tong Xuejiao into his arms and hugged her.

Just as Tong Xuejiao was about to struggle, he said, "Tong Xuejiao, don't move. There's only so much space in the car, so don't squeeze in and make yourself comfortable."

Tong Xuejiao glanced at An An and Le Le, who were being held by Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao respectively, and after some hesitation, she finally let Yan Heqing hold her without struggling.

She swore that she was absolutely only doing it because she didn't want to squeeze into the car with those two little darlings, not because she was tempted by that scoundrel's embrace.

After boarding the plane, An An and Le Le were not yet able to sit alone, but they had bought tickets for them, so it was as if the tickets they bought were for two empty seats.

Tong Xuejiao moved to sit next to Yang Qiaoqiao and begged Lin Xiaohui to sit on her other side, completely extinguishing Yan Heqing's desire to sit next to her.

After the plane stabilized, Yang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is going on between you and Brother Yan?"

Tong Xuejiao pouted and glanced at Yan Heqing, who was separated from them by an aisle, out of the corner of her eye. "Is he crazy?"

After being dumped by his first love again while abroad, he went crazy. He insists the child in my belly is his and keeps pestering me to marry him. He's insane.

Tong Xuejiao deliberately raised her voice when she said this, so that even though the plane was roaring loudly, it was enough for the people sitting in front of, behind, to the left and right of them and the rows next to her to hear what she was saying.

Yang Qiaoqiao: ...

Isn't the baby in your belly someone else's?

However, matters of the heart are ultimately something that the two people involved must resolve themselves. As an outsider, she couldn't say much, so she remained silent.

Just now, when we boarded the plane, Yang Qiaoqiao had already taken photos of Zhou Yang, Wu Xiaocao, Luo Yingzi, Ou Gang, Song Hu, Lin Xiaohui, and the two children with the plane.

At this moment, she picked up her camera, adjusted the exposure and focus, and took a few more photos of the clouds.

After we get these photos developed, we can show them to Zhou Ling'er, Guoqing, and Song Xiaoxia.

Inspiring children to desire good things can also motivate them to learn.

Having been reborn, no one knows better than her what education means for children from ordinary backgrounds.

It is very likely that studying hard and doing well in school is the only way and the only chance for them to change their fate in this lifetime.

What takes several days by train, the plane landed in just three hours.

The last time she came to Haicheng, Tong Xuejiao picked her up.

This time, as soon as they got off the plane, they saw people arranged by Xia Yuntao holding up signs to pick them up.

After they got into the car, they went directly to the old villa where Xia Yuntao lived.

Tong Xuejiao and Xie Yuntao didn't really have much interaction, so she could have gone straight home without having to go with them.

But in order to avoid Yan Heqing, she actually chose to go with them.

Yang Qiaoqiao was also quite helpless.

Mr. and Mrs. Xia Yuntao were very happy to see so many of them come.

As people get older, they inevitably feel lonely.

Although they have descendants, they are all living abroad.

Xia Yuntao had previously complained to Yang Qiaoqiao on the phone that he had asked his children and grandchildren to return to China several times, but they had all made excuses to refuse.

The time Xia Yuntao was furious, he even told Yang Qiaoqiao that he shouldn't have taken those unworthy descendants abroad in the first place.

Having lived abroad for only about thirty years, I've even forgotten my roots!

So now that Yang Qiaoqiao and her group have come, their luxurious but quiet old house has become lively and full of life again. The old couple not only didn't find it noisy at all, but were also extremely happy.
