Ji Wanmei and the others dozed off for a while.

Finally, at 2 p.m., the train arrived in Pingquan County.

When the announcement came over the loudspeaker that the station had arrived, not only Luo Chunyan, but even Ji Wanmei felt her mood immediately lighten.

She had only been away from home for a few days, but it felt like an eternity.

I can finally go home.

Outside the station in Pingquan County, Ji Xingguo received a call from Officer Li the night before, informing him that their train would arrive at 2 p.m. that afternoon, and he came early to pick up his daughter.

As soon as the train stopped at the platform, passengers began to carry their luggage and get off the train.

At this moment, Officer Li suddenly became attentive, gentlemanly, and polite, helping Ji Wanmei carry her things and shielding her from the crowds in front and behind her, providing exceptionally attentive service.

Luo Chunyan was speechless with amazement.

Lei Tingjun stood in the aisle, deliberately lagging behind a few steps. After everyone else got off the train, he walked towards the next carriage and got off from a different carriage.

They exited through a different exit than Ji Wanmei and the others.

After exiting the platform, Ji Wanmei immediately saw Ji Xingguo waiting there.

Ji Xingguo excitedly raised his hand and waved it widely, shouting in this direction, "Meimei, Daddy's here!"

Ji Wanmei ran over and hugged Ji Xingguo tightly: "Dad, how long have you been waiting?"

"Not long after, I arrived twenty minutes early." Ji Xingguo said with a smile, holding his daughter's hand and looking her up and down.

Seeing the slight fatigue on Ji Wanmei's face, she immediately said with concern, "You've lost weight. Did you not eat well or get enough rest while you were out?"

Before Ji Wanmei could speak, the clerk Li quickly interjected, "Factory Director, don't worry. I've taken excellent care of Miss Ji throughout the journey. Her food and lodging have been arranged to the best conditions, and she hasn't suffered at all."

Ji Wanmei smiled and said, "Dad, look, I'm back safe and sound. Thank you for your help, Officer Li."

Li adjusted his glasses, smiled slightly, and said the very words he had been waiting for Ji Wanmei to say. He quickly exchanged a few polite and modest remarks.

Ji Xingguo said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come on, Dad will take you to get something to eat. Chunyan, you come too!"

Luo Chunyan quickly said, "Uncle Ji, I won't go. My parents are waiting for me to come home. I ate lunch on the train."

Ji Xingguo was very enthusiastic and said, "I've already reserved seats. Come on, come on, let's eat while we're eating. We'll eat together afterward, and I'll take you back later."

Ji Wanmei also said, "Chunyan, let's go together."

Unable to refuse the Ji family's warm hospitality, Luo Chunyan had no choice but to go along with them.

The group chatted and laughed as they exited the train platform.

As Ji Wanmei was being ushered out, she suddenly turned around and searched for Lei Tingjun's figure in the crowd.

Lei Tingjun, who came down from another carriage, silently turned around and left with the crowd after seeing Ji Xingguo pick up Ji Wanmei.

"Meimei, what are you looking at?" Ji Xingguo asked.

Ji Wanmei turned back with a lost look and smiled at her father: "It's nothing."
