Xie's mother had taken good care of herself over the years. She had only recently appeared a little tired due to Tang Wan's situation, and her hair had grayed. But overall, she was a very energetic old lady. So when she grabbed Liu Chunhua, she was a bit unable to break free. "Auntie, I'm not feeling well. I usually stay at home to recuperate. I won't bother you again until I'm better."
Xie's mother seemed not to notice Liu Chunhua's refusal and continued to chat with her because she had just felt unwell and called Xie Baoguo to pick her up. If the two of them could meet, maybe their old love would be rekindled!
Xie Xuan, who was standing by, was also very curious. Her grandmother had never been such a friendly person. Why did she hold Aunt Chunhua so tightly and wouldn't let go? Seeing that Liu Chunhua was a little exhausted, Xie Xuan suggested, "Grandma, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk? Didn't you just say you were not feeling well?"
Xie's mother originally wanted to refuse, but when she looked at Liu Chunhua's even paler face, she found a nearby cafe to sit down. This was the Friendship Store, and many foreigners would come here, so there were Western restaurants and cafes there.
None of them liked the bitter taste of coffee, so they ordered a few small snacks with plain water. Honestly, the snacks were average; Liu Chunhua thought they were even worse than Yanran's homemade ones. Just as she was struggling with the small cake in front of her, Xie's mother suddenly asked, "Chunhua, did you marry and move to Beijing?" She had been so focused on the joy of seeing Liu Chunhua. Although her son was single, she wasn't sure if she was. If she was married, she couldn't possibly destroy her family!
Liu Chunhua was stunned for a second, then decided to tell the truth: "No, I'm not in good health and haven't considered getting married. This time I came to Beijing because my niece Yanran brought me here to recuperate."
Mother Xie was delighted when she heard this. No matter whether she wanted to get married or not, it was enough for her to be single now. It proved that her son still had a chance. From the way her son handled the matter of Tang Wan, she could see that he was not completely ignorant of what she had done, but he just pretended to be deaf and dumb. If this incident had not affected the development of the Xie family, he probably would not have cared if the old man had spoken. Her son knew it well. He really didn't care about Tang Wan at all, nor did he like Jingzhi and Xiaoxuan. He always gave them material things. He had given his true heart to Liu Chunhua a long time ago, and he had never taken it back.
Xie Baoguo locked onto Liu Chunhua's figure almost as soon as he got out of the car. He didn't even notice his mother and daughter sitting next to him. He rushed into the cafe and was almost mistaken for a troublemaker by the waiter, but he gave the waiter a handful of money to avoid being kicked out. "Chun...Chunhua, it really is you."
Liu Chunhua also stared at the man before her in a daze. He had aged considerably. Although she knew from Liu Yanran that he wasn't a scumbag who had fallen in love with someone else, she still blamed him and herself. But what could she do? They had missed each other. From the moment they separated, they had parted ways and wished for their own well-being. She smiled softly. "Hello, Comrade Xie."
