His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of being overheard, or as if he was afraid of touching a sensitive string in Gu Meiying's heart.
In that slightly cramped space, Gu Meiying's originally simple face was instantly flushed with a bright blush, a blush like that of a peach blossom in early spring, carrying a hint of shyness and unease.
She subconsciously turned slightly to the side, glanced back quickly at Xiao Feng with a hint of embarrassment, and her eyes held a mixture of panic and gratitude.
Then, she slowly turned her head, leaned forward slightly, and approached Xiao Weiguo. She lowered her voice and spoke with great sincerity and gratitude.
"Weiguo, your auntie is truly grateful to you. Look at us, if it weren't for your help these past few days, we don't know how our family would have survived until now."
"I don't know how I can ever repay your immense kindness in this lifetime."
As soon as she finished speaking, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes, as if she had made a momentous decision, and she continued.
"How about our whole family kowtows to you together? It's a small token of our appreciation."
As she spoke, she quickly reached out with her rough yet warm hand, grabbed her daughter's slender hand, and with her other hand she tightly gripped the man's arm, about to lead the whole family to kneel down.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Weiguo panicked instantly, his eyes widened, and his face was full of astonishment.
He frantically stretched out his hands, one on each side, to pull them up, shouting anxiously as he did so.
"Auntie, what are you doing! I'm helping you not for this. If you keep this up, I'm really going to get angry!"
He felt utterly helpless; this old tradition of kneeling and kowtowing at the drop of a hat was, in his opinion, just too much of a hassle.
Moreover, this made both sides feel extremely uncomfortable standing there, creating an awkward atmosphere so intense it could fill a three-bedroom apartment.
Seeing that Xiao Weiguo was so resolute and there was no room for negotiation, Gu Meiying and her family exchanged glances, their eyes filled with entanglement and helplessness.
Finally, they had to slowly pull back their bent bodies, the family still holding hands tightly, and slowly retreated to the side with somewhat slow steps.
At this moment, a trace of lingering awkwardness still lingered in the air, but even more so, there was their unspeakable gratitude towards Xiao Weiguo.
Now, their family is finally reunited in a true sense.
This reunion is like a magnificent rainbow that finally hangs high in the sky after a storm; it is beautiful and touching, and it is truly hard-won.
At this moment, the family stood in the center of the warm and festive courtyard, seemingly radiating a soft and warm light.
Many relatives and friends gathered in the courtyard, all eyes fixed on this happy family reunion, each gaze filled with blessings for them.
The blessings, like a gentle spring breeze, carried fragrance and hope, surrounding this family.
Some people had tears welling up in their eyes, moved by this deep family affection.
Some people smiled slightly, revealing a genuine joy, as if they too were immersed in the happiness of this reunion.
Everyone was deeply moved by this moment, as if it was not only a family reunion, but also the realization of everyone's beautiful expectation for the fulfillment of family affection.
However, among this crowd filled with blessings and emotions, one figure seemed somewhat out of place.
She is Zhang Huihui, who came with Xiao Shanshan.
At that moment, she stood quietly in a corner of the crowd, gazing longingly at the happy family reunited, her eyes filled with envy.
Envy surged in her eyes like a tidal wave.
Home, a word that should be full of warmth and love, has become increasingly unfamiliar to Zhang Huihui.
She tried hard to search for warm memories of home in the long river of her memory, but those memories seemed to be gradually buried by the sands of time, becoming blurred and indistinct.
She couldn't remember the last time she had felt the joyful laughter of a family sitting together for a meal, or the comfort of being enveloped in the warm embrace of her family on a cold winter night.
For her, home was like a distant yet beautiful dream, seemingly within reach yet always just out of reach.
The appearance of Xiao Weiguo's family was like a ray of light shining into Zhang Huihui's somewhat gloomy life.
Xiao Weiguo is a kind and responsible person. He treats Zhang Huihui like his own sister, giving her meticulous care.
Xiao Shanshan treated Zhang Huihui like a sister.
From the moment they arrived at school until they left, they were inseparable. In the early morning, they would walk hand in hand, carrying their schoolbags, sharing their little secrets along the way.
As evening fell, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, and they returned home together, chatting about the interesting things that had happened at school.
During meals, Xiao Shanshan would always put the dishes that Zhang Huihui liked into her bowl.
Before going to sleep, the two would snuggle in bed and share their little worries with each other.
In terms of security, Xiao Weiguo treated everyone equally.
He knew that there were many dangers and uncertainties in the world, so he gave Zhang Huihui the same security treatment as his own younger sister, Xiao Shanshan.
Whether it's the bodyguards arranged when she travels or the advanced security equipment installed at home, Zhang Huihui feels a sense of security, as if she is being protected and valued.
This sense of security was so precious to her, and it made her even more envious of the deep family affection in Xiao Weiguo's family.
