Chapter 116 Meeting He's Parents
The friends cheered, "Great, our Brother Han is awesome, let's have some drinks to celebrate today."
"Let's make a few more delicious dishes." The big team started working again.
Lan Shiruo said, "Thank you for your hard work." It is risky to let a first-level mutant absorb a third-level crystal core. Lan Shiruo did not say it in advance because she believed in Han Qingquan.
Han Qingquan understood. She didn't think it was a big deal. If she knew too much, she would have unnecessary concerns. "It's not hard. I want to do something for everyone."
The two of them understood each other tacitly. Duan Jianghe's eyes were always on Han Qingquan's face. The girl who was so quiet made people feel distressed.
Han Qingquan returned to his cold demeanor, glanced at Duan Jianghe, and wasn't used to the fiery look in his eyes. He turned his head away and joined the girls to help.
After all this busy work, the afternoon was already past mid-afternoon. After a satisfying meal and a drink, it was almost dark again. The large group didn't go far, stopping just beyond the dilapidated factory. They had a simple dinner and set off early the next morning.
The bus was damaged, so we replaced it with an off-road vehicle and sped towards City N. More than half a month had passed, and we still didn't know what the situation was like there.
The situation seems to be good at the moment. Ding Yibing and Xia Xun took Niu Niu with them and used Mao Wanru to claim credit. Mao Wanru's father, Mao Heyi, was skeptical but pretended to be grateful. He arranged for them to stay and gave them some insignificant preferential treatment. He secretly checked whether his daughter was who the two men said. So far, the results were consistent with what the two men said.
Whether you believed it or not, Ding Yibing and Xia Xun made a high-profile entrance into the city that day. Everyone knew they were Mao Wanru's saviors. Mao Heyi, unable to produce evidence of their nemesis, was forced to treat them favorably and endure their extortion. Xia Xun was a traitor, his every extortion publicized, leaving Mao Heyi scratching his head. The battle for the top two positions was fierce, and he couldn't afford to let these minor incidents ruin his plans at this crucial moment. He had to endure these small favors.
But what made Mao Heyi even more unhappy was that Mao seemed to be half dead. Rong Deju suddenly sent a message saying that the marriage was not going through. He said that the two children were not suitable, but his words also revealed a message that his son had been fine before, but this time he went out for a blind date and almost died. He almost said that his daughter was unlucky and brought bad luck. Mao Heyi was so angry that his nose was crooked. Wasn't this a slap in his face?
What can I do? I can only endure it. There is no way I can marry Mao Wanru in her current state. If she is alive and well, I can still fight for her. But if she is half-dead, forget it. I will secretly marry a living dead person. Rong Deju is a cruel man. He will tear him apart after knowing the truth.
This should be a mutually beneficial thing. If an enemy is created, Wei will take advantage of it.
Therefore, when Rong Deju proposed to cancel the engagement, Mao He agreed out of loyalty. At least it would make Rong Deju feel a little guilty, and it would be easier for him to ask for help when he needed it.
Rong Deju feels guilty? You should be thankful that he didn't come to your house and kill the unlucky guy.
Ding Yibing didn't care whether Mao and Yi Qi were angry or not. After settling down, he went to inquire about the news of the old couple in the He family.
The two still lived in their own apartment building in the residential complex. Thanks to Wei Xiong's care, the old couple didn't have to go out to kill corpses or complete missions. In the safe zone, they found a light job, earning enough food every day to get by. However, they were worried about their daughter.
More than half a year passed, and there was no news at all. Every time outsiders came, especially those from City B, the old couple would go with high expectations, but would return with utter disappointment.
They also wanted to go to City B to look for her, but with their current abilities, going out would mean death. They were also afraid of missing their daughter, so they waited at home.
With each passing day, their hearts sank a little. They had originally planned that if there was no news for another month, they would go to City B with the mission team. If it really didn't work out, the old couple would risk their lives to go by themselves. Even if it meant death, they couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
Just as the two were secretly packing up their things, two people who claimed to know their daughter came to their door.
The old couple's hearts were pounding. Why did someone else bring the news instead of their daughter coming back herself?
All kinds of wild thoughts almost made the old couple collapse.
Holding on to his last breath, after hearing the news, he immediately let go of the heavy stone that was weighing on his heart, hugged each other and cried his heart out.
Ding Yibing and Xia Xun sat next to them with Niu Niu, and they didn't know how to persuade them.
After crying their hearts out, the old couple felt full of energy. "Thank you, thank you, young man. We are so happy, so happy."
The two men waved their hands awkwardly. "We should be the ones to say thank you. If it weren't for He Lian and her friends, we would have died long ago. We came here this time because we are useless and would be a burden to them. Firstly, we are here to wait for them, and secondly, we came to see you and bring you news about He Lian so that you won't worry. He Lian was worried that your uncle and aunt were not doing well, so she asked us to bring a lot of supplies."
"Good children, we are all good children. Can you tell us about Xiao Lian's situation? We are really..."
Ding Yibing and Xia Xun naturally said that it was no problem and told them everything they knew. "Don't worry, uncle and aunt, they are all very capable. They will be fine. They will be back after picking up Uncle Miao and Aunt Miao."
The old couple was amazed when they heard this, and always felt that the He Lian the two people were talking about was not their daughter.
Their daughter knew it herself. She had always been timid and delicate, so how could she possibly fight monsters? But after hearing this, they felt proud. This was their daughter. She had been capable since she was young, good at studying, finding a job, and they never had to worry about her. Now she could even fight monsters.
"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're okay. So, are you living in the place Mao Heyi arranged for you now? Where is this child?"
"Just stay here until Mao Wanru wakes up. We'll deal with it if anything happens. This child is called Niuniu. Her parents are both gone, and they rescued her. It's inconvenient to keep her around, so we'll take care of her for now."
The old couple immediately felt distressed. It was no wonder that such a young child had dull eyes and didn't cry, make a fuss, or speak. He must have suffered a great hardship. "Alas, life is so difficult."
The old couple had never been out and didn't know how difficult life was outside, but every day they saw people coming back from outside looking shabby and depressed, heard a lot of rumors about the outside world, and saw a lot of dead people thrown out. They could more or less feel the malice of this world.
"Why don't you just stay here? That guy named Mao is not a good person. He desperately exploits the people who come here for refuge, and he pretends to be kind and righteous. Everyone comes here because they have nowhere else to go, but he treats people like slaves. He's really cruel. I heard he wants to marry Rong Deju from W City, and then he will squeeze Old Wei out. Life here will be really difficult. He won't let you go. Regardless of whether you are the one who killed Mao Wanru, he won't let you go just because you are trying to trick him like this. Oh, no, Lao He, go talk to Old Wei."
He's mother was impatient and immediately urged He's father to go find Wei Xiong.
He's father also felt that this matter could not be delayed, so he took the only good wine in the house and was about to go out.
Ding Yibing and Xia Xun hurriedly stopped them, "Uncle and aunt, don't worry. The Mao family and Rong Deju can't get married. Sit down and listen to us slowly explain it to you."
He's father and mother were curious, so they sat down.
