Chapter 440 Before being sent down, Xie Zhiyan returned. Both mother and son were in the family compound. Old Master Zheng nodded kindly, his words filled with more certainty: "It must be true. I know that Shanghai has been quite turbulent lately. I originally wanted her to go to Beijing to stay with my daughter. It was probably just a coincidence that Xie Zhiyan returned at this critical moment. I suppose she should be in the military family compound now. Xie Zhiyan is doing well. He is still an officer in the military. With his current rank, protecting the child and Yingying is not a problem."
If Xie Zhiyan hadn't found him back then, he wouldn't have believed that someone who had been missing for so many years could actually return alive from the battlefield.
Those years of hardship are in the past, and neither side wants to bring them up again. Now, with the hard times finally coming to an end, this family, whose fate has been so tumultuous, finally has the opportunity to reunite.
"Yingying called me a couple of days ago to let me know she's safe and sound. She said she's living a peaceful life now. She calls me almost every week to check on me. The children are all in kindergarten now and doing very well in their studies. Xie Zhiyan is protecting them very well in Beijing, so you can rest assured."
Shu Wenyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Shu Ying had not been demoted.
"That's good. I've been dreaming about her and the children a lot lately. Brother, I'm so sorry to have troubled you with the children's affairs, but given the current situation, I really don't know how to repay you. Wait..."
“Brother, we’re family, so let’s not stand on ceremony. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Right now, the most important thing is for you and your wife to come back safely. Nothing else matters. Yingying called me a while ago and said that she has many options now. Recently, she was noticed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because of her excellent foreign language skills and they invited her to work there.”
Shu Ying is very resilient; most people can't break her. Even in the capital, where she's unfamiliar with the place, she manages to live a very respectable life.
She suffered a lot while she was alone abroad, but now she has finally reaped the rewards of her hard work.
"Yingying has her own ideas, and she says she hasn't decided yet. We should know soon whether she will go to work. Take good care of yourself. I'm also trying to find out about your sister-in-law. Give me your contact information so I can have someone contact you."
Shu Wenyuan's eyes reddened. The current situation did not allow him and his daughter to meet. He had been hiding alone for a long time and had finally waited for the opportunity. However, the people who persecuted them had not yet been found, and he could not alert them.
"I'm relieved to hear that. However, it's not convenient for me to show my face right now. I'm afraid there might be people in Shanghai keeping an eye on the Shu and Zheng families. To avoid any complications, please let Yingying know if you have the chance. I'm fine."
He knew his own daughter well.
Shu Ying is very strong. If she knew that the couple were still alive, she would definitely search for them with all her might. If it takes too long, it will inevitably alert some people. Now is not the best time for them to meet.
Old Zheng nodded solemnly, understanding his concerns, and immediately assured him, "No problem. Your sister-in-law and I are going to the capital soon, and my niece also has some things to take care of. I'll go see Yingying then and tell her not to worry."
Shu Wenyuan's voice trembled as his long-standing anxiety finally subsided. He had originally intended to secretly help Shu Ying, and knowing that the children had not suffered would make him feel better.
"Yingying is a very thoughtful child. If you explain things to her clearly, she will understand. Also, I haven't been able to help with the children's schooling. I'm not a good father."
Old Zheng felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. They were both men, both fathers, and their children were practically their only concern. He could only offer them words of comfort.
"Brother, please don't think like that. Our own children are doing well and living a good life in the capital. Their lives are no worse than in Shanghai. Moreover, Zhiyan is at a crucial stage of his career advancement. At least they won't let his mother and children suffer any injustice. You know your in-laws well; they are all reasonable and fair people. So please relax. Our most urgent task is to find your sister-in-law first."
