Chapter 154 Reuniting with Parents
The words Su Niannian was about to utter.
The sound was also swallowed back down into my stomach.
She looked up towards the door.
Then he met a pair of dark eyes that were trembling violently.
The tall man stood in front of the door.
They seemed to have turned to stone.
I didn't even have the courage to step into the room.
Until Su Niannian hesitantly uttered "Big Brother".
Xie Tingyan's body swayed suddenly.
Sixteen years later.
He heard that title again.
His deep-seated conviction made him never believe that his younger sister was no longer alive.
He relied on this belief.
I kept waiting and waiting.
Finally, I heard my little sister call me "big brother."
Xie Tingyan slowly walked into the room, his eyes red as he approached Su Niannian.
"Yaoyao, your big brother has finally found you. You are my own sister, that's so good."
Xie Tingyan has a prior record of pretending to be a gangster in Thailand to scare Su Niannian.
This made him feel a little guilty in front of his younger sister.
I wonder if she'll be angry with me and won't want to acknowledge me.
Thinking about this.
Xie Tingyan wished he could slap himself twice, for making him go crazy back then.
"Yaoyao, I didn't mean to scare you before. Can you forgive me?"
The room she had stayed in in Thailand flashed through Su Niannian's mind.
That cozy pink princess room showed the care and attention put into every detail.
At that time, she didn't know who the little owner of that room was.
I wanted to pick up the photo frame on the cabinet to check, but unfortunately I was interrupted halfway through.
But now she knows.
That's her in the wooden photo frame.
She was also the owner of that room.
"Big brother, I don't blame you. I know you are cold on the outside but warm on the inside. You may seem a bit fierce on the surface, but you are actually a good person. And although you were very fierce to me back then, you were always taking care of me in the details."
Xie Tingyan is a scoundrel who acts arrogantly and doesn't care about anyone.
When he was with his younger sister, he was a completely different person; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was a doting brother.
He was so excited that he overlooked Su Niannian's red eyes.
At this point, she received her younger sister's forgiveness.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, couldn't help but relax.
And so I saw Su Niannian
There were only the little sister and the brat in the room, no one else. It was obvious who was the one who made the little sister cry.
"Gu Yuheng, did you make Yaoyao cry?" Xie Tingyan, who had been gentle with Su Niannian before, looked at Gu Yuheng coldly.
Gu Yuheng was also unlucky.
He wanted to spoil Su Niannian to the extreme; he would rather make himself cry than make Niannian cry.
Because the two had previously disliked each other, Xie Tingyan subconsciously took the blame for him.
Su Niannian quickly tried to explain for Gu Yuheng. She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and tugged at Xie Tingyan's sleeve.
She pursed her lips and said, "Big brother, it has nothing to do with Aheng. I was so happy to find my parents that I couldn't help but cry."
Gu Yuheng glanced at Xie Tingyan with his deep eyes: "Niannian has already explained it for me, Xie Tingyan, don't wrong me."
Xie Tingyan lifted his eyelids and looked at him with a leisurely air.
"What did you call me? Shouldn't you start calling me 'Big Brother' now, brother-in-law?"
His tone emphasized the word "brother-in-law".
Gu Yuheng's face darkened upon hearing Xie Tingyan's slightly teasing voice. He never expected to be defeated by Xie Tingyan here.
He was unfairly overshadowed.
He coughed lightly: "Xie Tingyan, Niannian has not yet returned to the Xie family, so you are not my elder brother for the time being."
Xie Tingyan couldn't go against him in front of his younger sister.
He thought that sooner or later he would be convinced and call him "big brother".
However, he didn't want his younger sister to think he was an unapproachable older brother.
Surprisingly, he became much more agreeable this time: "Consider it an overpayment."
On his way here, Gu Yuheng had already given him a detailed account of what had happened over the phone.
Through the guest list for Madam Shen's birthday celebration provided by Shen Li, they saw the birthday celebration where Yao Yao was chasing the little Border Collie, and his uncle Xie Shen was also there.
It was after returning from that birthday celebration that Yao Yao developed a high fever that lasted for a long time.
They pieced everything together, and although they didn't want to believe it, his uncle was the prime suspect.
And just then...
Shen Baihe's investigation also came to fruition, revealing that Xie Shen and his sister-in-law Lin Yin had actually had close contact in the past.
Xie Shen became even more suspicious.
Things became clear.
Last night's scheme became the final sharp blade to expose Xie Shen's disguise.
“Niannian, let’s go see Mom and Dad. They’ve been looking forward to this moment for so long, and they miss you so much.” He squatted down and looked at Su Niannian as he spoke.
Su Niannian asked softly, "Then when shall we go, big brother?"
Xie Tingyan: "Because your birthday is coming up in a few days, Mom and Dad went to our old home today. Ever since you disappeared, Mom and Dad have moved out with me and Siyan. They only go back every year on your birthday. They don't know that we told you the truth, so we're going there tomorrow to give them a surprise."
Su Niannian nodded and agreed to her older brother's suggestion, but she couldn't fall asleep for a long time that night, both looking forward to recognizing her parents and feeling a little nervous.
Gu Yuheng held her and comforted her until, after an unknown amount of time, Su Niannian finally fell asleep.
---
The next morning.
Gu Yuheng then drove Su Niannian to her childhood home.
An hour and a half later, the car was parked in the yard of a villa.
Xie Siyan and Xie Tingyan were already waiting in the courtyard.
Xie Yuan and Lin Wan cleaned and decorated their daughter's room last night as usual.
The pink princess room was filled with all sorts of dolls that little girls love, just like in previous years.
The vase held pretty daisies, and the little girl in the photo frame had her hair in an adorable bun, her chubby little face beaming with a bright smile.
“Mom and Dad went to the nearby supermarket early this morning to buy ingredients. Every year at this time, Mom will cook a whole table of your favorite dishes for you, Yao Yao.”
Listening to Xie Siyan's words, Su Niannian paced around the room, and as if drawn by a force, she involuntarily walked towards a large walk-in closet.
The walk-in closet is a full 80 square meters, about the size of a small apartment.
She stood in front of rows of wardrobes, looking at the princess dresses of various colors neatly hung inside.
Each piece was ironed until there wasn't a single wrinkle, and hung cleanly and neatly in the closet.
Her gaze swept over them one by one, finally settling on a white princess dress.
An image flashed through her mind of a gentle woman leading a little girl through an amusement park.
Just then, the sound of a car turning off echoed from inside the yard.
