This matter weighed heavily on their spirits, and neither of them had any appetite.
Chu Mingqian watched as Chu Xing stood to the side, his expression unchanged, revealing neither joy nor anger.
He opened his mouth to finish what he hadn't said earlier, preparing to persuade Chu Xing to get a divorce again.
However, Qin Jizhi grabbed him and led him to the dining table.
He lowered his voice and whispered, "Don't upset the old man anymore. We can talk about this later. There's no need to rush. These two, grandfather and grandson, are both stubborn. If we keep talking like this, it will only make everyone unhappy and won't achieve anything."
Upon hearing this, Chu Mingqian finally gave up, but he still couldn't help but glare at Chu Xing.
Meanwhile, it was already afternoon in the Western Kingdom.
After Chu left, Song Mai barely slept. She got up in the morning, ate some breakfast, and continued watching incredibly cheesy idol dramas in her room.
Although the rain outside has stopped, the water is still deep. However, the fact that the rain has stopped and hasn't continued is already a good sign.
The hotel staff told me that the local government has already arranged for people to dredge the silt and drain the water, and it is estimated that everything will be back to normal soon.
After lunch, Song Mai sat on a chair in front of the French windows and read a book of Western essays.
The hotel staff found this book for her.
She was incredibly bored, and for the first time, she was so unhappy despite having the audacity to skip work.
She would glance at the book every now and then, then look out the window. The author of this book had a good writing style, with vivid and delicate language. Normally, Song Mai would definitely want to find a place to quietly read this book for an afternoon.
It's a pity I didn't have the time before, and now I'm not in the mood.
She finally felt relieved when her phone screen lit up and she saw the message from the man letting her know he was safe.
The sky was overcast, and the plot of the book was very stable, without any ups and downs, typical of healing literature.
It would be perfect to hold a cup of tea while reading and sipping, but this book only made her feel incredibly sleepy.
However, since there was nothing else to do, there was no need to fight off sleepiness, so Song Mai simply lay down on the bed and prepared to take a nap.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Mai was awakened by a noisy commotion.
Logically speaking, this is a five-star hotel with excellent soundproofing. At least Song Mai stayed here for many days and never heard any sounds from the next room or footsteps at the door while in the room.
But then I heard a commotion.
This almost made Song Mai think she was dreaming in her sleep. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and got out of bed.
The constant noise and cheers outside left her completely bewildered.
Song Mai got out of bed barefoot and looked through the peephole to see what was happening.
However, before they could even see clearly, the knocking started.
"Knock knock—"
Song Mai looked through the peephole and saw that it was none other than the young girl who had come with their project team.
"Sister Song Mai! Open the door quickly!"
Song Mai straightened her pajamas slightly. She had just woken up and looked disheveled and dazed.
She opened the door and looked at the girl from the legal department with some confusion.
"What's going on? Why is it so lively outside?"
The young girl also had a happy expression on her face.
Grabbing Song Mai's hand tightly, he said excitedly:
"The sun is out! I heard that the roads near the hotel have been mostly cleared, and flights have resumed. Everyone can try to get back home now!"
Upon hearing this, Song Mai's eyes lit up.
"really?"
"Of course it's true."
The girl's eyes were filled with joy, and cheers and celebratory sounds kept coming from outside the door.
This door could not contain people's excitement and exhilaration.
They had all been waiting for this day, even though it hadn't been a particularly long time since the day they experienced the disaster, and the promotion had only been a few days.
But for those who are truly in the midst of the disaster, it has been an incredibly long time, and none of them even know how long they will have to wait.
The day when the disaster is completely over is like a beautiful hope to them, but they don't know when they will see it, or if it will ever come.
They will silently disappear from this world in this disaster.
Fortunately, fate wasn't too bad for them. Although they had a very unlucky experience with this disaster, they managed to escape safely and were able to go home.
For a group of people who have experienced hovering on the edge of life and death, how could this not be a joyous occasion?
Perhaps it was because of the cheers outside that Song Mai felt incredibly excited.
She clenched her hands, and for a long while she was speechless.
It took a long time before he could find his voice again.
"Then we can go back to China."
The girl nodded vigorously.
"Of course, Manager Ji said the branch office is already making arrangements. The branch office has a plane, so we don't need to buy tickets and can take a local flight back to China. If all goes well, they can arrange to send us back tonight."
The girl plopped down on the sofa, sprawling out without any regard for her image.
"Oh my god! I'm finally going home. God knows what I've been through on this business trip. When I came here, I thought it would be very boring. After all, Spain is just a small country and there's not much to see. Plus, we're here to work on a project. Once the project is finished, we'll go back home. We'll only stay in Spain for three or four days at most. All our time will be spent on work. We won't have much time to travel around like a normal trip. I never expected it to turn out like this. I've been here for more than a week. I've never been so homesick in my life."
As she spoke, she casually pulled open the curtains of the French windows.
The curtains were originally open, but Song Mai felt that the gray sky made her feel depressed, and since she wanted to take a nap, she simply closed them.
In an instant, sunlight streamed straight in through the glass window.
Song Mai sat on the bed wearing baggy pajamas, her bare feet swinging casually.
Sunlight shone on her body and face, and her pinkish-purple silk nightgown made her look like a piece of fine mutton fat jade, fair and delicate. The nightgown wrapped around her body, revealing only her slender wrists and ankles, which made her look even thinner.
She was momentarily unaccustomed to the bright light and quickly covered her eyes, only peeking out through her fingers a few seconds later.
The sun shines high above the land, dispelling the gloom and dark clouds, and bringing endless hope.
It's as if the sun's appearance instantly improves people's moods.
She couldn't help but say, "That's great, we'll be able to go home soon."
