Duoduo went to pack his luggage. He was going to stay in Beijing with his brother for a while, since the two brothers hadn't seen each other for two years.
Tang Jianjun glanced at the wall clock; Southwest should be off work and home by now.
He picked up the phone, dialed a number, and Southwest, who was having dinner, answered it as soon as he heard it ring.
Hello, who is this?
“Southwest, it’s me. Duoduo is coming back tomorrow. Please write down the train number and time, and pick him up at the train station.” Tang Jianjun said.
Southwest was startled. Oh no! How could he have forgotten something so important? No wonder he felt like he'd missed something.
"Master, is Duoduo coming back alone?" Southwest asked worriedly.
"Yes, he received a call from Wu Jinban today, so he's in a hurry to rush to Beijing." Tang Jianjun had no choice; the child was too old to be controlled.
"What?! Wu Jin Ban called Duo Duo?" Southwest was shocked again.
This time it was Tang Jianjun's turn to be worried: "What! Wu Jinban said he went back to Beijing, didn't you know?"
"I don't know, Master. Don't worry, I'll make a call and ask. I'll call you back later."
When Southwest heard that Tang Jianjun was coughing in distress, he became worried.
Nan Nan's phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was a call from Southwest. She hesitated for a moment.
“Five and a half jin, your dad is calling,” Yan Xiaonan said.
Wu Jinban was stunned for a moment. He knew it definitely wasn't his aunt who said it; it must have been Duoduo.
Seeing that Wu Jinban didn't react, Yan Xiaonan answered the phone: "Hello, Third Brother."
"Nan Nan, is Wu Jin Ban back?" Xin Nan asked anxiously.
“Yes, Wu Jin and a half is back,” Yan Xiaonan said.
"Nan Nan, really, why didn't you tell me? Hey, I'm coming right away." Southwest's tone was starting to turn unfriendly.
Yan Xiaonan: "... ..."
Yan Xiaonan turned on speakerphone, so everyone could hear their conversation clearly.
Grandma Yan was the first to get angry. This Southwest is becoming more and more outrageous. Your son is coming back, are you going to blame Nan Nan for not telling you?
Yan Xiaonan immediately realized that the mountain god's aura was directly directed at Grandma Yan. Grandma was over ninety years old; she couldn't be angry.
Wu Jinban remained silent, but his hands were already clenched into fists. Ye Chenming, who had just returned, also had a cold glint in his eyes.
"Master, I just asked, Wu Jin Ban is back. Don't worry, I remember the train's arrival time, I'll go pick him up." Southwest made a phone call to Yang Jianjun.
Tang Jianjun finally felt relieved, but then his heart started to race again. Wu Jinban didn't even tell Southwest that he was going home. Had he done something wrong with good intentions?
I wonder what's going on with the Yan family now. I hope Wu Jinban doesn't argue with Southwest, otherwise he'll be the culprit.
Tang Jianjun entered a state of self-blame, tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep. He fell ill as soon as he got home after sending Duoduo off on the train the next day.
After hanging up the phone, Southwest was in a very bad mood. Wu Jinban was becoming more and more outrageous. He hung up on her during the Spring Festival and now he didn't even tell her he was going home.
And Nan Nan and the others too, they knew Wu Jin Ban was back, but they didn't even tell me. What does that mean?
Liu Lili was feeding Yan Bao'er when she glanced at Southwest and said, "Now that your son is back, why don't you go and take a look? Otherwise, it wouldn't be right, would it?"
Southwest nodded and went to the inner room to change into a shirt before heading to the eight-courtyard house. Yan Bao'er objected, insisting on going with Southwest.
Southwest Baby Yan Bao'er, it's so hot, don't cry too much, let's go together instead.
Liu Lili stood up and said, "Southwest, I'll go too. Aren't we going to buy a big house? I want to discuss it with Nannan."
Thinking of the high-rise building that Nan Nan was building, Southwest nodded. He had never lived in a high-rise building before, so buying one wouldn't be bad.
So the family of three rode their bicycles to the eight-courtyard house, but as soon as they entered the middle courtyard, they sensed that something was wrong.
Southeast and North South both rushed over after receiving the news. When they saw Southwest appear with Liu Lili and Yan Bao'er, they couldn't help but exchange a glance.
Is this guy from Southwest University out of his mind? He knows that Wu Jinban doesn't like Liu Lili and Yan Bao'er, so why did he bring them along?
Sure enough, Wu Jinban, who had just been chatting and laughing with them, suddenly dimmed his eyes when he saw Xinan with Liu Lili and Yan Bao'er.
Look, two adults supporting a child, what a perfect family of three, haha.
"Five and a half catties, you're back without even telling me. You're such a sensible child," Southwest complained.
"Second brother, are you out of your mind?" Bei Nan jumped up, wishing he could punch his second brother awake.
Southwest looked at North South with a puzzled expression, wondering what he had done to make North South so angry.
Southeast stood up, walked to Wu Jinban's side and said, "Wu Jinban, go and talk to Sister Fubao."
Fu Bao quickly and obediently pulled Wu Jinban into the guest room: "Brother Wu Jinban, this room is yours. I've cleaned it. You can take a shower and change your clothes first."
Wu Jinban nodded and told Fu Bao to go out first, as he needed some private space.
Yan Bao'er was terrified by Bei Nan's ferocious appearance and burst into tears. Xin Nan and Liu Lili quickly went to comfort Yan Bao'er.
Grandma Yan stared intently at Southwest, unable to understand how Southwest, who had always been the most obedient and sensible child, could have become so ignorant and naive.
No wonder people say that if you have a stepmother, you'll have a stepfather. Southwest is definitely acting like a stepfather now.
“Southwest, I want to tell you something. My Nan Nan has no obligation to raise your son, nor is she obligated to accept your questioning. You can leave now,” Ye Chenming said coldly.
Southwest was stunned. What had he done to deserve being blamed as soon as he walked in?
"Chenming, what's wrong?" Southwest asked.
Everyone looked at each other, unsure how to answer this question.
Wu Jinban came out and looked at Southwest, saying, "I came back to see my aunt, great-grandmother, and grandparents. It has nothing to do with you."
"You, you brat, I'm your father!" Southwest was furious.
“I have no mother, and no father,” Wu Jinban said coldly.
"Yan Qiusheng, shut up!" Southeast shouted.
“Fu Bao, take your brother to my place. Xue Mei, you come back with us too.”
Although Southeast didn't want to get involved in Southwest affairs, Ye Chenming's words just now clearly indicated that they should leave.
The clever and perceptive Wu Jinban must have understood the meaning behind Ye Chenming's words, which is why he came out to sever ties with the Southwest.
This means that the child will no longer live here, because he doesn't want to cause trouble for Nan Nan.
