Chapter 502 Returning Well Prepared
Wu Shanshan and Wu Jun went to Wu Shanshan's office in the factory to make a phone call.
The factory has already started work and it is still early for school to start. Wu Shanshan originally planned to come to work after the Xie family got on the train tomorrow.
When the call was connected and Huang Ling's voice came out, Wu Shanshan tensed up. She knew something was wrong.
He waved his right hand to signal Wu Jun to sit at the desk opposite, then picked up paper and pen to take notes.
Wu Jun saw that the two of them had serious matters to discuss. When Wu Chongnan had just passed on the message, he had asked Wu Jun to come along as well. Wu Jun thought that it would be his turn only after Aunt Huang and his sister finished their business, so he obediently sat opposite and waited.
He saw his sister write a "1" and her hand paused. Then she looked at him with a look of surprise in her eyes. Her long eyelashes were stained with moisture and the corners of her eyes were a little red.
Wu Shanshan retracted her gaze and asked calmly:
"Auntie, is it because of illness or accident..."
Huang Ling also paused on the other end of the phone, then replied, "Suicide."
Wu Shanshan sneered, "I thought of everything, but I didn't expect him to commit suicide."
"Shanshan, you and Xiaojun decide whether to come back or not. No matter what decision you make, we understand and support you." Huang Ling said softly.
Xiaoting was sitting next to Huang Ling. She nervously held her mother's hand. She was worried about Sister Shanshan and Xiaojun.
Huang Ling felt her daughter's nervousness and worry, and gently shook her hand back.
Wu Shanshan didn't think for long, then replied: "Auntie, we'll be back."
"Okay, buy the ticket and tell me, I'll pick you up."
"Aunt, we will take the bus tomorrow morning and come back with Zheyu's family." Wu Shanshan gave the answer immediately.
"Okay, then I understand." Huang Ling replied.
Wu Shanshan hung up the phone and looked at her brother.
Wu Jun seemed to have understood what was going on, and Wu Shanshan slowly told him what happened.
Wu Jun said nothing. He had lost his father since the day his stepmother came into the family.
From the day he was taken away by his sister, his sister was his only relative.
No, now I have many more good relatives, so the existence of Wu Jianguo as a blood relative is no longer so important.
"Sister, what are we going back for?" Wu Jun asked after a while.
"Some accounts still need to be collected." Wu Shanshan actually smiled at him.
Wu Jun understood and said emphatically: “Well, I’ll help you.”
Wu Shanshan shook her head. "No, I know what's going on. When you go back, take advantage of your brother Dongzhe not starting school yet to spend some quality time with them. We don't get many opportunities to meet."
Wu Jun pursed his lips and nodded.
This trip would take several days, so Wu Shanshan did not go home immediately to prepare her luggage but began to arrange her work. She lowered her head and wrote quickly, one after another. After writing, she distributed it to various departments and left it to the staff who had already come to work.
No matter how big or small the matter is.
After doing all this, he led Wu Jun home. Halfway there, they met Xie Zheyu who came to find them.
"I knew you couldn't leave once you got to the office," Xie Zheyu said with a smile. "As soon as you open your eyes, all you have to do is work. There's no way you can finish it, right?"
"Zheyu, Xiaojun and I will go back to Suzhou with my aunt and the others tomorrow." Wu Shanshan said calmly.
Xie Zheyu glanced at Wu Jun, and Wu Jun said sensibly, "I'll go home first," and then ran away.
At this moment, they were in the garden between the factory and the dormitory area. Xie Zheyu looked around and saw that there was no one around. He walked over and shook Wu Shanshan's hand and said,
"If something happens, your family will know you are here..."
Wu Shanshan shook her head slightly and said, "No, he committed suicide last night. He's gone."
Xie Zheyu was stunned for a moment, then had someone pull her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "I'll go back to work and ask for leave, and go back with you."
Wu Shanshan put her face against his chest and whispered:
"No need. You've only been on the job for the first half of the year. Taking too long a leave will be criticized. When you first came here, you were given better conditions than others. There must be a lot of people who are jealous."
"But I'm worried about you." Xie Zheyu let go of Wu Shanshan and looked into her eyes seriously.
"With Xiaojun, and with Auntie and the others on the way, there's nothing to worry about."
"I'm not talking about on the way, I'm talking about after we get there..." His intuition told him that Zhang A'mei would not look at Wu Shanshan well, and he was afraid that Wu Shanshan would suffer.
Wu Shanshan let out a sigh and said, "Actually, I want you to go back with me, but I don't want you to see me so...how do you say it? Aunt Huang said..."
Xie Zheyu prided himself on being smart, but at this moment he didn't understand what Wu Shanshan was talking about, so he looked at her puzzledly.
"Oh, I remember now. I don't want you to see my sinister side." Wu Shanshan thought for a few seconds and finally remembered.
Xie Zheyu's expression control was gone, he laughed and said:
"Ha, it's like I don't know."
But after hearing this, Xie Zheyu felt relieved.
It seems that he came back well prepared.
"What you mean is that if I go there, you won't be able to move freely because you have to consider your image in front of me, right?" Xie Zheyu asked with pretended anger.
Wu Shanshan smiled.
"Okay, got it. I won't go. But there's just one thing: I don't care if others suffer, but you and Xiaojun can't suffer, not even a little bit. Otherwise, I'll be heartbroken. Then I'll fly back to help you. I'm also kind of scheming."
Xie Zheyu held her shoulders and spoke very seriously, gently and firmly.
"Don't worry, we have Aunt Huang and Aunt Song! They won't let me lose out."
Xie Zheyu thought about it and realized that was true.
After returning home, the two did not hide the secret from their family. Xie Zheyu first went to the train station to use his connections to buy tickets, while the two siblings of the Wu family packed their things at home.
Xie Zheyu often traveled between Suzhou, Guangzhou and Beijing. The connection at the train station arranged by Huang Ling no longer needed to go through Huang Ling. He was more familiar with the train than Huang Ling and quickly bought two soft sleeper tickets.
He told his family, "It's in the same carriage, but it's not connected to the tickets we bought earlier. Xiaojun, I'll rely on you. Please swap with someone else. At least let your sister and my mother sit in the same carriage. It will be more convenient this way."
"Brother, I know, leave it to me." Wu Jun nodded.
Xie's mother asked worriedly, "Zheyu, can you take a leave? Why don't you go back with me?"
Wu Shanshan said hurriedly: "Auntie, Zheyu and I have just discussed it. I don't need him to accompany me. I will be back in a few days. It's okay."
Mother Xie nodded and said, "Okay, then you and Xiaojun can live at home. There's room for you at home."
Wu Shanshan was about to answer when Xie Zheyu said, "Mom, Shanshan has made arrangements, but you can..."
"I understand. Then I will clean up the rooms at home. Shanshan and Xiaojun can come back and live here anytime they want." Xie's mother continued.
In this way, the two siblings and the Xie family returned to Suzhou together.
Huang Ling and Song Ying were waiting at the exit with Xiaoting and Dongzhe.
Tuanan had already left for Beijing to work and missed the meeting.
In the past few years, Huang Ling has been to Guangzhou several times and met the two siblings, but she has never met Song Ying, Xiao Ting and Dongzhe.
Even though they were still quite far away, their eyes were already filled with tears.
As soon as they walked out of the fence, Wu Jun and Dongzhe hugged each other and cried bitterly, and their crying attracted people around them to look back frequently.
Song Ying held Wu Shanshan's hand and choked up, "Let me see, she's a grown-up girl now... a grown-up girl..."
Including Xiaoting, the three of them were also crying their hearts out.
The only one who didn't cry was Huang Ling. She greeted Xie Zheyu's family. As Wu Shanshan's family member, she had been to Xie's house once before and knew everyone. She even arranged a car to take Xie's family home.
