However, she has always been thinking about this great elder in her heart.
In the living room, hearing the noise of a car parking outside, Mr. Guo excitedly walked out with his crutches.
When he saw Liu Rumeng walking in with his daughter Guo Linxian, his eyes suddenly widened, his eyes became moist, his mouth lost its voice, and he threw away his crutches with trembling hands, wanting to hug Liu Rumeng.
He shouted excitedly: "A Xiu! A Xiu! Is it you? Is it really you? A Xiu..."
Yes!
At this moment, Liu Rumeng's navy blue cheongsam looked exactly like her grandmother when she was young.
No wonder Mr. Guo was so distracted for a moment.
"Dad! This is Mengmeng, my daughter and your granddaughter.
She does look a lot like my mother when she was young..."
Guo Linxian stepped forward to support her father, then said with a smile.
"Mengmeng! Mengmeng! Before Grandpa died, he was able to see you and your mother come to Hong Kong Island. He has no regrets now."
Wiping the tears from his eyes, Mr. Guo said cheerfully.
"Grandpa! Mengmeng misses you too. You won't die! You will live a long life."
After all, blood is thicker than water. Seeing the old man with white hair and a unsteady gait in front of her, Liu Rumeng felt a pang in her heart.
"Okay, okay! Grandpa will try his best to live to be a hundred years old, and see you get married, have children, and hold great-grandchildren in your arms!"
Mr. Guo said happily.
But these words suddenly reminded Liu Rumeng of her sad past. A trace of sadness flashed across her face, and then she smiled and said:
"Yes! I will."
Next, there was a dinner for the entire Guo family.
In this era where "appearance is justice", the three generations of the Guo family simply cannot associate Liu Rumeng with the "northern girl from the mainland".
On the contrary, Liu Rumeng speaks English better than any of them, and can even speak French and some Japanese.
Suddenly, these wealthy children from Hong Kong Island felt so ashamed that they couldn't raise their heads.
…
After dinner, uncle Guo Zhiqiang couldn't hold back his thoughts and secretly found younger sister Guo Linxian again.
"Brother, what do you want from me?"
Guo Linxian was in a very good mood today. After picking up her daughter, she began to research the hospitals in Hong Kong Island, preparing to choose the best one to help her daughter recover.
"Ah Xian! Big brother is worried about you and your daughter. You just arrived in Hong Kong Island and don't have enough money!
Is there anything you need money for?
I'm sorry to take Dad's money, but since I'm giving you money, don't be polite!"
As he spoke, Guo Zhiqiang was very willing to spend a lot of money. He directly took out a check for 50,000 Hong Kong dollars and stuffed it into Guo Linxian's hand.
"No, no, no! Brother, how can I take your money?
I don’t even want the money my father gives me, let alone money from my eldest brother.
Besides, don’t I work for the Xinhua News Agency’s Hong Kong branch? I get a salary.”
Guo Linxian smiled and waved her hand.
"What good can your salary do? Mengmeng has come to Hong Kong now. Aren't you still thinking about finding a hospital to treat Mengmeng?
Medical treatment in hospitals in Hong Kong Island is very expensive, and any single surgery can cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.
Ah Xian, your salary probably can't afford it."
Grasping Guo Linxian's weakness, Guo Zhiqiang spoke in a earnest manner.
"this……"
Guo Linxian had not thought of this before, but now that her eldest brother reminded her, it seemed that the cost of surgery was indeed a problem.
Her salary, at most, is a few hundred Hong Kong dollars a month, plus a little allowance, which is definitely a drop in the bucket compared to the sky-high cost of surgery.
So, she could only sigh and said, "Brother, if it really doesn't work, I will ask Dad to borrow some money and pay it back slowly in the future!"
As an independent woman, Guo Linxian believed that since she was married, she could not ask for money from her father casually.
Staying at the Guo family's house was already her bottom line.
But this time it was for her daughter's health, so Guo Linxian had no choice but to ask her father to borrow money to pay for the operation.
"Actually, there's no need for that, Ah Xian. Meng Meng can definitely earn the money for her surgery herself."
This was exactly the effect Guo Zhiqiang wanted, and he immediately took advantage of the situation and said.
"Earn money by yourself? Mengmeng has no work experience at all. She went to the countryside at a young age.
In the countryside, we do farm work. What use can it be in Hong Kong Island?
However, I did teach her some foreign languages when she was young.
My previous idea was to let Mengmeng work as a translator in the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency like me, so that she could earn some salary.
But this salary... is quite limited.
Otherwise, let Mengmeng work as a translator in companies in Hong Kong Island. The salary in Hong Kong Island should be higher..."
Guo Linxian thought about it for a moment and said seriously.
However, Guo Zhiqiang said with an angry look:
"Little sister! You are so confused!
Mengmeng has such a good appearance, why does she need to be a translator?
You should have been a big star. Do you know how much money those singers and movie stars in Hong Kong make nowadays?
Our Guo’s Jewelry recently invited a female celebrity to endorse our products. In just one day, she was paid HK$200,000!
Our Mengmeng is much prettier than her. Let Mengmeng sign a contract with my acting agency. I guarantee that within a year at most, Mengmeng will be able to earn enough money for the surgery on her own..."
Guo Zhiqiang's true intentions were revealed, and in front of his younger sister Guo Linxian, he once again proposed the idea of making Liu Rumeng a big star.
