It has been 7 days since the earthquake, and Lan Tian’s temporary visa is about to expire.
According to the rules, he must get up and return home today.
Ren Tingxi had already made all the arrangements for his father-in-law's departure.
Although Lan Xiaolan's sad scars were very serious, fortunately they were only superficial injuries. Ren Tingxi had repeatedly assured his father-in-law that there was no problem and he would definitely take good care of her.
Lan Tian then nodded reluctantly.
"How long will it take to complete the work here before you can come back?"
"I still have some information to sort out, so it will probably take another nine months."
“So long!”
"Dad, I'll work harder and try to come back within six months. I promise you!"
"You still want to promise? I don't want your promise. You are just a meddling girl."
"If you run off to save someone again one day, you might even lose your life, not to mention your doctoral studies." Lan Tian glanced at his daughter fiercely.
Although he was complaining, his heart was filled with worry and reluctance towards his daughter.
"Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of her. When I'm not around, I'll tie her up with chains and never let her run around again."
As Ren Tingxi spoke, he hugged Lan Xiaolan's waist lovingly and smiled with his lips hooked.
Lan Xiaolan pouted and raised her elbow to nudge Ren Tingxi: "Humph, now the two of you are teaming up to bully me."
Lan Tian and Ren Tingxi smiled at each other, "Dad, it's almost time to board the plane. Please be careful on your way."
"Hey, remember to call me regularly to let me know you're safe."
"Okay, got it, Dad."
"By the way, Tingxi," Lan Tian seemed to have thought of something. He had already turned around and left, but then turned back.
"After returning home, I want to meet your parents and discuss your marriage."
"This is my daughter's lifelong event."
"Dad, don't worry, I will make sure it's arranged."
Lan Tian nodded with satisfaction. Compared to his daughter, he felt that his tall and steady son-in-law An might be more reliable.
Lan Xiaolan and Ren Tingxi finally bid farewell to their father reluctantly and were heading back.
In the car, Lan Xiaolan always turned her head to look at Ren Tingxi from time to time, always with an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's the matter? Just say it."
"You said you would really take me to meet your parents after returning home?"
"I……"
"What? Are you scared?" Ren Tingxi raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.
Lan Xiaolan didn't answer him.
"An ugly woman must eventually meet her father-in-law."
"Who are you calling an ugly woman? You're the ugly one! Humph!"
"Haha, you're not ugly. My wife is the cutest and most beautiful."
"Since you're not ugly, there's nothing to be afraid of. I'll arrange for you to meet my parents."
"It's just that they don't necessarily like me."
Lan Xiaolan recalled that Ren Tingxi's mother had looked for her once when they were in college.
She remembered the noble and arrogant look of Ren's mother. They met and had a meal together, and at that time Ren's mother didn't even look at her.
But at the end, he said coldly: "Ms. Lan, I don't think you and my son are suitable." Then he left lightly.
That scene was engraved in Lan Xiaolan's heart like a brand, and she could not forget it for a long time.
Ren Tingxi seemed to see what Lan Xiaolan was thinking. He took Lan Xiaolan's hand and hid the soft and cold little hand in his big palm.
Lan Xiaolan instantly felt her hands and heart warm.
"No matter what others think, you are my wife. This is a fact that no one can change."
"I have my own house, and I have my own job. I can support you on my own."
"As for the others, they are just insignificant people."
"If you're happy, you can call them mom and dad."
"If you're unhappy, we can just stop interacting with each other forever."
"It's just...you are their parents. It's not right for us to treat them like this."
Ren Tingxi let go of Lan Xiaolan's hand, gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, glared at the front, and remained silent for a long time.
After sending their father back home, Lan Xiaolan and Ren Tingxi returned to their previous peaceful life.
It's just that everything is too calm, as if something is surging under the surface.
In the chief's office.
Lao Hei was kneeling in front of him.
When Lao Hei was a child, the chief was very strict in disciplining him. Whenever he did something slightly wrong, the chief would make him kneel down like he did today.
But today, it's different.
Lao Hei came here today not to be punished, but to say goodbye.
"Have you thought it through?" The chief kept the several documents provided to him by Ren Tingxi that Lao Hei handed over. He had read them over and over again in the past few days.
On one hand, I feel relieved, on the other hand, I feel worried.
"I have no choice." After saying that, Lao Hei knelt down and kowtowed to the chief with his head on the ground.
The chief sat upright on the stool, but his heart was in turmoil.
Lao Hei was the one he brought up and trained. Over the years, the chief had found that Lao Hei was much more stable and mature than his sons.
Moreover, in the Living Cemetery City, he has the highest voice, the most prestige, the ability, and cares about every citizen here. The chief originally thought that a hundred years after his death, this kneeling child would be able to take over the important task from him.
What a pity... Ren Tingxi disrupted all his plans over the years.
