"Let's go, wife." Mo Jingchen ignored Pei Shaoqing, walked over, put his arm around An Yiruo's shoulder, and walked out of the hotel.
"Mo Jingchen, you win! Wait for me!" Pei Shaoqing jogged over and caught up with Mo Jingchen's pace.
When the three of them appeared at Xu Nian's house, Xu Nian was only stunned for a moment before she understood their purpose: "Come in quickly, it's hot outside."
"Mom. The Pei family has come to pick you up," An Yiruo said, glancing at Pei Shaoqing.
When Pei Shaoqing saw Xu Nian again, the unusual sense of closeness he had felt back then became clear.
It was precisely because they were family that he felt a sense of closeness in the hospital room that day.
"Little Aunt."
When Pei Shaoqing uttered the word "little aunt," his eyes reddened slightly, showing that he was trying his best to hold back.
He didn't want to be too sentimental, because he wasn't a sentimental person to begin with.
Even after so many years, it's still hard to suppress the excitement and surging emotions of seeing loved ones again.
"Shaoqing, come and sit down." Xu Nian's eyes were also a little red. After saying that, she turned around and went into the kitchen.
After a while, a fruit platter was brought out.
It was advertised as a fruit platter, but all that was on the plate was watermelon and a few bananas.
"Shaoqing, you must be tired from your journey. Have some watermelon to quench your thirst. Your aunt doesn't have anything else here. I'm sorry to have to make do with this."
Xu Nian took the largest piece and handed it to Pei Shaoqing, her eyes filled with apology.
"I'm not upset at all. Being able to eat the watermelon that my aunt handed me is something I've been dreaming of for many years."
Pei Shaoqing truly spoke from the bottom of his heart when he said this.
For so many years, the Pei family's hope has been to see their aunt return to the Pei family before they die.
"Auntie, shall we set off soon? Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad... are all looking forward to your return home," Pei Shaoqing said to Xu Nian with a slightly pleading tone.
Hearing Pei Shaoqing mention her biological parents, Xu Nian was a little nervous. Although she had prepared herself, she was still quite excited on the day of their reunion.
"Mom, I'll help you pack your things," An Yiruo said, trying to ease her mother's anxiety.
"Auntie, just take some personal belongings. The rest will be provided by the family."
What Pei Shaoqing wanted to say was that every year on her aunt's birthday, her grandmother would buy her a gift and send it to her aunt who lived far away. Sometimes, when she saw pretty clothes, her grandmother would also buy them and hang them in the closet.
In her grandmother's words, this way she felt that her aunt was always by her side and had never left...
However, we'll have to wait until my aunt arrives at the Pei family to find out about this herself.
"Mom, let's go."
And so, the group embarked on their journey to F City.
On the road, An Yiruo and Xu Nian were in one car, while Mo Jingchen and Pei Shaoqing were in another.
Along the way, Mo Jingchen and Pei Shaoqing had a lot of fun...
Two CEOs worth hundreds of millions are arguing like elementary school kids!
The scenery outside the car window changed from a monotonous view to a colorful one, and the car had exited the elevated road and entered the urban area of F City.
Xu Nian looked at the scenery of F City outside the window. Many years ago, she had come to F City on a business trip because of work. But at that time... she never thought that she was actually a member of the Pei family!
It really is true what they say, life is full of surprises!
Two cars slowly drove into the Pei family villa, one after the other. The Pei family members, who had received advance notice, were already waiting at the gate.
"Is my little girl back?" The old lady of the Pei family leaned forward anxiously, her eyes gazing longingly at the two oncoming cars.
"Mom, don't worry, my little sister must be in one of these two cars. Take care of yourself," Pei Shaoqing's father, Pei Siming, said with a worried expression as he supported his mother.
"I know my own body. Don't get in my way and block my way to see your sister home," the old lady of the Pei family said, looking at Pei Siming with displeasure and a hint of disgust in her eyes.
Pei Siming was somewhat exasperated by his mother's presence, but he had no choice. Faced with the momentous occasion of his younger sister's return home, he would simply have to play the role of an adopted son.
The car slowly stopped outside the Pei family villa. The first people to get out of the car were Pei Shaoqing and Mo Jingchen.
"Madam Pei, Mr. Pei," Mo Jingchen greeted the elders at the door politely.
"You must be that grandson of the Mo family. It's been a long time. You've become quite a handsome young man."
The old lady of the Pei family nodded in satisfaction at Mo Jingchen, but her gaze remained fixed on the car behind them.
Until she saw two more people get out of the car behind her, a young woman holding the arm of a slightly older woman. After getting out of the car, Xu Nian stood there, her legs feeling as if they were made of lead, unable to move an inch.
"Mom? What's wrong?" An Yiruo whispered in Xu Nian's ear.
"It's nothing, maybe it's just that my legs are a little sore from sitting in the car for so long," Xu Nian patted her daughter's hand to comfort her.
An Yiruo helped Xu Nian walk step by step toward the location of the Pei family.
"My dear, my little girl. After all these years, I've finally waited for you to come home." The moment the old lady of the Pei family saw Xu Nian, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Mom," Xu Nian said, her voice trembling, tears streaming down her face.
The mother and daughter embraced each other at the gate of the Pei family villa, their tears of joy at their reunion.
"Mom, let my sister come inside. She must be tired from her journey. Besides, she just had surgery and is still recovering. She shouldn't have any emotional fluctuations."
Pei Siming looked at the mother and daughter in front of him, and although he couldn't bear it, he still spoke those words.
"Yes, it's all my fault. I can't forget that my little girl just had surgery. Come on, come inside with Mom."
The old lady released Xu Nian and instead took Xu Nian's hand, leading them into the room together.
Outside, the sun was blazing, but inside it was cool and refreshing. The slight stickiness on my body disappeared instantly, making me feel very comfortable.
"Nannan, sit next to Mommy," said Madam Pei, holding Xu Nian's hand tightly, never letting go. It was as if she had rediscovered a priceless treasure.
"Darling, have some fruit. Mom... didn't know what you liked to eat, so I prepared a little of everything. If you don't like any of them, Mom will have someone prepare something else."
The old lady of the Pei family took the fruit plate from the coffee table and placed it in front of Xu Nian, letting her choose for herself.
Xu Nian took a slice of watermelon, took a bite, and found the watermelon to be very sweet. But at that moment, her heart felt even sweeter.
So this is what it feels like to have a mother's care. From now on, she has a mother too, how wonderful!
