Seeing that her friend's family had all arrived, Li Qingqing felt that her presence was somewhat in the way, so she stood up while holding her child.
"Yingying, Uncle and Aunt, it's rare for your family to get together, so I won't stay here any longer. I have some things to do at home, so I'll take the baby and head back first. If there's anything I can do to help you, just let me know. We live so close, there's nothing to be shy about."
She knew that the two elderly people had come back this time because of Xie Mingzhu's background. No matter how you looked at it, she was an outsider. No matter how good her relationship with Shu Ying was, she couldn't meddle in other people's family affairs at this time, otherwise she would be being inconsiderate.
Huang Meiling quickly stood up. "Child, it's rare for your uncle and me to come back. I know you and Yingying are close; you two have been friends since childhood. We're all family, so there's no need for formalities. Just stay here and let's have a proper meal. We're so grateful for your help in taking care of Yingying's two children these past few days. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to manage on her own. Her father and I know what you've done in Shanghai, and we've been looking forward to thanking you properly."
Shu Ying had suffered so much injustice all by herself. After they returned to the base, they asked around about her experiences in Shanghai and learned that she had a good friend protecting her all along. The two of them felt much more at ease. They had originally wanted to find a special opportunity to thank Li Qingqing, but there was no better time than today.
Li Qingqing glanced at Shu Ying with some difficulty. In fact, most of the time, it was Shu Ying who took care of her. She didn't have any special skills. After she became pregnant, Shu Ying ran around the hospital for her. If it weren't for Shu Ying, she might not even be standing here alive. She felt really unworthy of the kindness she received from these people.
Shu Ying understood what Li Qingqing was thinking, but there was really no need for her to leave at this time. Besides, in her heart, Li Qingqing was her family. Although they had different surnames, she had chosen this friend herself.
"Qingqing, just listen to my parents and stay here for a meal. Besides, we've grown up together, and in my heart, you and my sister are no different, so you don't need to hide anything from me."
Xie Mingzhu came over and took Tuantuan from her arms, holding her hand with one hand.
“Duan Huaichuan is already an adult. Doesn’t he know he should find something to eat after get off work? Don’t worry about him. We’ll eat here today.”
Li Qingqing nodded heavily, but in the end, she couldn't resist the family's enthusiasm and decided to stay. The children seemed to sense this and laughed even more happily.
With tears in her eyes, Huang Meiling stepped forward and took Xie Mingzhu's hand.
“Daughter, let’s go register your birth tomorrow morning and change your name. From now on, you will be our daughter! From now on, your parents will protect you and never let you suffer the same injustices as before.”
Perhaps Xie Mingzhu had waited too long for this moment, because she was already in tears the instant Huang Meiling firmly took her hand.
Xie Wenyuan looked over, and his eyes involuntarily reddened.
Xie Mingzhu nodded heavily and hugged them tightly.
"Dad, Mom!"
This "Mom and Dad" came many years too late. Li Qingqing, holding her child beside her, burst into tears.
