“Dad, you provide emotional support and are responsible and dependable. Men like you are an endangered species these days,” Xiaoyu said with a smile.
Li Mancang: "Oh dear, I never thought I'd be the one thriving in this society. I was born too early."
“It’s not too early, you can still find a partner later in life,” Wu Zhiqi said leisurely.
Li Mancang… “I have a spouse, but can a second one ever be as good as the first?”
"Dad, you reacted really quickly," Xiaoyu joked.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Old Guan arrived quickly, in just half an hour. "Apartment buildings are so nice, they're so warm!"
As soon as Old Man Guan entered the house, he felt a wave of heat and quickly took off his cotton-padded coat.
"Grandpa!" Xiaoyu ran over and hugged Old Man Guan.
Old Man Guan patted Xiaoyu, "How old are you? Still acting like a child. You didn't even tell me you were coming back. I would have picked you up from the airport."
I want to give you a surprise.
"You're giving your parents a surprise? I'm just surprised, not happy," Old Guan said irritably. He felt a pang of jealousy that they hadn't even informed him of their return.
"Grandpa, my second brother reserved a floor for me in this house. Let me show you," Xiaoyu said, pulling Old Man Guan outside.
"Go see for yourself. I've already seen it. Your second brother is quite good," Old Man Guan said with a smile. His second brother was a good kid. He hadn't taken care of his second brother's family, but his second brother was always thinking of Xiaoyu.
“My second brother and sister-in-law are both good to me, so I’m going to go see them.” Xiaoyu pulled Wu Zhiqi upstairs. The upstairs was full, and the whole floor was Xiaoyu’s. Her second brother had done a simple renovation for her, and the young girl could add whatever she liked herself.
"Wow, it's so big! It must be over 200 square meters!" Xiaoyu was surprised when she saw the big house. She thought it was a single room of 50 or 60 square meters.
"That's why it's called the first floor. Your second brother said he didn't know what style you liked, so he just decorated it simply. You can buy the soft furnishings yourself according to your preferred style," Wu Zhiqi said with a smile.
"Mom, you're so kind, I almost cried," Xiaoyu said sweetly.
Wu Zhiqi: "Why are you crying? Do you think your mom can't afford it, or your second brother is broke and forced you to buy it?"
"My mom is incredibly wealthy, and my second brother is also very powerful," Xiaoyu said, flattering him.
"Where is your partner from?" Wu Zhiqi hadn't asked earlier because there were too many people around, but now that it was just the mother and daughter, it was easier to talk.
His family is from the south.
Wu Zhiqi… “Then what about your wedding?”
"Mom, he's married into our family, he's moved in with us!" Xiaoyu said mischievously.
"You little brat, speak properly," Wu Zhiqi said with a laugh.
"Really, he's marrying into the family, so any children we have will have the surname Guan," Xiaoyu said with a grin.
"Their family agreed? Families that can afford to send their children abroad must be quite well-off."
Xiaoyu chuckled and said, "Mom, I was just kidding. He also has the surname Guan. What else would our kids have if not the surname Guan?"
Wu Zhiqi… “You little rascal! So you’re also planning to go to the South?”
Xiaoyu: "No, he studied medicine. His doctoral supervisor is from Peking Union Medical College Hospital. We met when we were on an exchange program abroad. He works in Beijing."
Wu Zhiqi: "Being a doctor is a good profession, with high social status."
