Bai Yazhu got off the boat and hurriedly got into the car that came to pick her up, and went to the Qin family.
She had no idea the old man had reacted so quickly; knowing she had run away, he followed her off the boat...
At the Qin family home, Qin Xuanyi paced back and forth anxiously, waiting for Bai Yazhu to return.
Qin's father rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Xuanyi, sit down! You're making me dizzy!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuanyi slumped his shoulders and could only obediently sit down on the sofa.
Not long after, he heard the sound of a car outside. He got up again, went to the window, opened it, and looked down.
Then he saw his own car drive in, and his heart instantly settled down.
Excitedly, he shouted to Qin's father, "Dad, they're back! They're back!"
Qin's father rolled his eyes at his silly son.
"Okay!"
As soon as Bai Yazhu entered, Qin Xuanyi gave her a tight hug.
He was truly afraid that he would never see the girl he loved again...
Bai Yazhu sensed his nervousness and fear, and her face was filled with a sweet smile.
I patted his back to comfort him, "Okay, I'm back."
Qin's father couldn't bear to see his foolish son acting so stupidly, so he coughed lightly to remind him that his old father was still there!
Qin Xuanyi was shocked; his father was still alive!
He quickly released the person in his arms and pulled her to sit down next to him.
Bai Yazhu greeted Qin's father politely.
"Yes, please sit down." Qin's father looked at Bai Yazhu with eyes full of affection, clearly very satisfied with her as his future daughter-in-law.
"Your dad sent a letter to the countryside. That girl should be here soon. I don't need to remind you what to do then, do I?"
Bai Yazhu smiled smugly, "Uncle Qin, don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
She needed an opportunity to shed her status as a capitalist's daughter, and the Qin family also needed a daughter-in-law with a good family background to "gild" the Qin family and escape disaster.
Once they return to their hometown, they can make some arrangements and hide themselves successfully.
Both families had their fathers fleeing during the war years, and they had very few acquaintances left in their hometown in the eastern province. If they managed things well, they could still escape this calamity.
The three exchanged a smile and reached a consensus.
Just then, the phone rang.
Qin Xuanyi answered the call, and his previously happy expression instantly turned gloomy.
Bai Yazhu immediately had a bad feeling and quickly stood up and went over. "Brother Xuanyi, what's wrong? What happened?"
The other end of the phone hung up hastily, and Qin Xuanyi also put down the receiver.
His gaze toward Bai Yazhu was full of pity and worry.
"Yazhu...your grandfather has disembarked..."
It was the second wife who called. She hurriedly gave Bai Yazhu a few instructions and told her not to go home for the time being before hanging up.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yazhu staggered and turned deathly pale.
She shook her head helplessly. "How could this be? Grandpa actually got off the ship? What are we going to do?"
He'll kill me if I go back! And besides, with him around, what we're about to do is simply impossible to succeed!
She was genuinely afraid of that stern and rigid old man.
My heart couldn't help but tremble.
