After Lu Lingxiao and the others left, he immediately went to his wife's side. Seeing that Feng Zhiyi was in good spirits, he then looked at Ye Xiuqing and said, "Godmother!"
"You brat, I've been waiting for you to come back!"
Today should have been a happy day, but when Ye Xiuqing saw Lu Lingxiao standing in front of her and called her "godmother," she couldn't help but tear up.
Thinking back carefully, she realized that she had never seen Lu Lingxiao since he graduated from military academy and went to the Jincheng Military Region.
Even though Lu Lingxiao would occasionally return to the capital for missions, he would only stay in the army for a day or two before returning to Jincheng. During those years, he almost cut off all contact with everyone.
He single-handedly carried out missions and accumulated military merits in the Jincheng Military Region, working tirelessly. It would take others two or three years or even longer to accumulate that many military merits, but he only needed a year or half a year.
He earned it with his life.
The reason why he worked so hard was to continuously strengthen himself, so that his position in the army would rise higher and higher and his fame would grow. Lu Lingxiao knew very well that only in this way would Jiang Peizhen not dare to touch him easily.
Despite having a group of highly respected elders behind him, each with a higher status than the last, Lu Lingxiao could be transferred to a better unit and promoted to a higher position as soon as he asked.
However, Lu Lingxiao never relied on those old men. He achieved what he has today entirely through his own strength and ability, working hard step by step.
This made the older men think highly of him and have even higher expectations for him.
Ye Xiuqing had previously heard her father-in-law mention that the higher-ups intended to groom Lu Lingxiao as their successor, so that he could take over his position in the future...
When Lu Lingxiao saw that Ye Xiuqing's eyes were red and tears were about to fall, he knew something was wrong. He quickly stepped forward, put his arm around Ye Xiuqing's shoulder, and gently comforted her, "Godmother, please don't cry, please don't cry."
"Otherwise, if my godfather finds out, he'll definitely make me run a hundred or eighty laps around their military region's parade ground."
Everyone in the capital knew that Xie Huazhang was a notorious henpecked husband. It was as if Ye Xiuqing wanted the stars, and the famous Commander-in-Chief Xie would never give her the moon; if she wanted the moon, he would never give her the sun.
In short, it all boils down to one word: pampering!
They spoiled him rotten, to the point that Xie Junfei didn't dare stay at his house for long, for fear that he might accidentally anger his mother and then face his father's deep love!
"You little rascal, you come back and start teasing your godmother."
Ye Xiuqing was successfully amused by Lu Lingxiao.
She patted him with a smile, and said with a bright smile, "Also, who would say that about your godfather? Your godfather is such a nice person, he has always been very good to you. Even if he punished Junfei to run around the drill ground of the General Military Region a hundred times, he would never punish you."
That's not necessarily the case.
After all, their Commander-in-Chief Xie is a typical doting husband.
Lu Lingxiao murmured in his heart.
He then put his arm around Feng Zhiyi's waist and smiled at Ye Xiuqing, saying, "Godmother, I'll have my wife stay with you. I have official business to attend to and have to leave now. Once I've finished what I need to do, I'll have a good chat with you all later."
Ye Xiuqing smiled lovingly and nodded, "Okay, go ahead. We'll talk when you're done. We just came to the hospital to watch the excitement and witness Jiang Peizhen's arrest. Now that she's been taken away, there's no need for us to stay here."
Lu Lingxiao nodded slightly.
Before leaving, he lowered his eyes to look at Feng Zhiyi and whispered to her, "Wife, I'm leaving first. I have to rush to the Jiang family to arrest someone. If you're tired, go home and have a good sleep. When you're refreshed, let Mom and Godmother take you and the kids out for a walk."
Feng Zhiyi smiled at him, "Go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me. I'm not sleepy yet. I'm going to go for a walk with my parents and godmother first, and then get a good sleep in the afternoon."
"I'm leaving." Lu Lingxiao took the opportunity to kiss her, quickly turned around, and strode away.
After he left the ward and his figure had almost disappeared from sight, Shen Yaqin couldn't help but laugh and scold, "That brat..."
Ye Xiuqing couldn't help but smile. Seeing how much Lu Lingxiao had changed and how attached he was to his wife, she, as his godmother, was also happy.
Feng Zhiyi, however, twitched the corners of her mouth and calmly glanced at everyone. "Dad, Mom, Godmother, let's go."
Lu Yunhai, Shen Yaqin, and Ye Xiuqing nodded.
The four big kids and three small kids happily came downstairs one after another and got into the car. Ye Xiuqing immediately suggested, "Zhiyi, I'll take you to the Friendship Mall to buy some clothes first, and then buy a few sets of clothes for each of the children. Then we'll go straight to the International Hotel for dinner."
Feng Zhiyi smiled and said, "Godmother, you know the situation in Beijing better. If I want to buy a house or a store, do you know where to buy them?"
"You want to buy a house?" Ye Xiuqing looked at her in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yaqin quickly replied, "Zhiyi, we have a house. When we get home later, I'll give you all the property deeds for the Lu family's houses and the land deeds for those shops. You can take them and do whatever you want with them."
Anyway, she took back the Lu family's houses and shops from Jiang Peizhen to leave them to her son and daughter-in-law.
Upon hearing that Feng Zhiyi wanted to buy a house and a shop, Shen Yaqin immediately thought of what Feng Zhiyi had said before, that she was preparing to start a business.
Feng Zhiyi smiled at Shen Yaqin, "Mom, you and Dad can keep our houses and shops to collect rent. I have money, and I plan to take advantage of this trip back to Beijing to buy some houses and shops to increase their value."
Shen Yaqin replied, "How could your father and I possibly live in so many houses?"
"And the shops too. That whole street near Huazhong University belongs to the Lu family. I'll keep two or three for rent, and you can use the rest, unless you're unhappy with them..."
Before she could finish speaking, Feng Zhiyi quickly agreed, "Okay, okay! I'll take it all! As long as you're happy, I'll take whatever you give, alright?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yaqin immediately gave an expression that said, "That's more like it."
Looking at her mother-in-law's joyful face, Feng Zhiyi couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth slightly.
She reached out and took Shen Yaqin's arm, nuzzling her cheek affectionately against Shen Yaqin's arm. "But, Mom, I still plan to buy some houses to keep."
“Think about it, prices are rising year by year, and houses are no exception. So, I want to take advantage of the current low prices and buy a few more houses to hold onto for appreciation.”
"Okay, as long as you're happy, then we'll buy it!" Shen Yaqin readily agreed, her voice full of doting affection.
