After agreeing on a meeting time with Mrs. Allen, and because of Sang Huaiyuan's special status, Mrs. Allen decided to meet in Pingjiang, which would be more convenient for them to come over.

"I'll go back and make the arrangements now. I'll contact you by phone later."

Mrs. Allen was very excited. Sang Wanhua's greatest wish was to reunite with her family and return to her hometown, but she had gone to Pingjiang many times before to check, and the results were not good. As a result, Sang Wanhua had been depressed.

She even felt that a major reason for her mother's illness was that she had been under too much emotional stress for a long time.

Originally, Ye Qingqing had planned to stay in Hong Kong for a few more days, but the sudden appearance of Sang Wanhua made her decide to return to Pingjiang immediately. She wanted to tell the old lady the good news and didn't want to waste a single minute.

Before leaving, Princess Luo also called to inform her that her book signing event had successfully concluded and she was preparing to return to her country.

"Mr. Lu, if there are any further developments regarding the Gong family, you must let me know," Princess Luo instructed.

She had been investigating the Gong family case for over twenty years, and it had become a knot in her heart. She felt that her life would not be complete if she did not find the answer.

Princess Luo had a gut feeling that Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo would definitely be able to find out about the Gong family's affairs. The key lay with that Ding Ba. As a princess, she didn't have much free time to investigate, and her identity also limited her. It was a real pity.

“Okay, I hope we can find out as soon as possible,” Lu Mo replied.

He and Princess Luo felt similarly, as if some unseen thread was pulling them closer to the truth, and perhaps in the near future, the descendants of the Gong family would appear!

The next day, Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo returned to Pingjiang, and Ruan Yingzi also returned to school.

As soon as she got off the plane, she and Lu Mo rushed to the Sang residence. The old lady and Gu Nianci were both at home. The nanny, Xiao Li, was not there; instead, a middle-aged woman in her forties, called Aunt Xu, took her place.

Aunt Xu is from the same hometown as Xiao Li. She comes from a poor family, has a simple and honest appearance, is quite hardworking, and doesn't talk much. Her only problem is that her cooking skills are a bit lacking, but otherwise she's pretty good.

Xiao Li resigned before the Lunar New Year because she planned to start her own business and opened a housekeeping company. This girl is quite opinionated, bold, and quick-witted. The old lady and Sang Huaiyuan both support her starting her own business.

Aunt Xu was Xiao Li's first client. Ye Qingqing thought Xiao Li had a good eye. In a few years, housekeeping companies would spring up like mushrooms after rain, and the competition would be even more intense. If Xiao Li started his business now and managed it well, it would definitely grow into a big company.

"Qingqing is back. We'll have dinner at home tonight." The old lady was very happy.

Gu Nianci was also quite happy, but her leg injury hadn't healed yet, and she would need to rest for another month before she could walk again. Ye Qingqing brought gifts, and everyone in the family received something—just some small items. Aunt Xu also brought a pair of shoes, a pair of mid-heel leather shoes, with a trendy style that young girls could wear. She was overjoyed and kept saying she was sorry.

"Take it. Go make braised pork, and Nianci can guide you." The old lady knew that Ye Qingqing loved braised pork, but Aunt Xu's cooking skills were really not good. She needed Nianci's guidance to make a decent dish.

Aunt Xu smiled kindly, carefully put the shoes away, and happily went to the kitchen. She was very grateful to the Sang family for always giving her clothes and shoes, which saved her a lot of money!

"Grandma, take a deep breath and stay calm. I have some good news for you, but don't get too excited!" Ye Qingqing whispered mysteriously in the old lady's ear.

The old lady laughed and nudged her, "Your breath tickles me! What good news? You're not pregnant, are you? Don't do anything silly, you silly girl!"

Ye Qingqing rolled her eyes speechlessly. What kind of thought process was that? Gu Nianci excitedly pushed the wheelchair out of the kitchen, her reaction completely different from the old lady's, "You're pregnant? I'll take care of you after the baby is born!"

"What nonsense! Lu Mo and I are completely innocent. What are you thinking? I was talking about Auntie. She has sent a letter." Ye Qingqing shouted.
