Wyatt looked at Carlos, whose expression was gloomy. He patted him on the shoulder. "You can't do this."
"But I can't control myself."
"She's leaving in two or three months, and there's nothing we can do to stop her."
What if something happens to the company?
"Heh, do you think she cares? Don't you think she's incredibly capricious in everything she does? I think these companies are just games to her."
Carlos fell silent. Yes, Hongmei wouldn't care about any of that. What could they do to get her to stay? Even just for a few more months?
“Carlos, don’t do anything that will make her hate you. She’s gone, but we can visit her every year, and she can come back.”
Carlos shook his head. "We can get there, but she might never come back."
"Why?"
"Her identity!"
"Oh? I've never asked before. Is she someone special?"
"Well, since you don't know, it's best not to ask."
Wyatt glared at Carlos. "Are you out of your mind? Since you brought it up, why didn't you tell me?"
Wyatt remained silent for a long time after hearing this, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I knew it. I once said which devil preyed on little girls."
The two remained silent. Wyatt suddenly spoke up, "Isn't that leader too old? How can Hongmei be willing to accept that? The Zhang Hongmei I know would never marry an old man for the sake of status or honor."
"He's young, older than you, but younger than me!"
"What?"
Carlos nodded. Wyatt burst into laughter this time. The more he laughed, the more sorrowful he felt.
"I've seen his photos. He and Hongmei are a perfect match."
"Hehe, I was wondering why Hongmei could guarantee that I would make money in China and that there would be no problems. So that's where the root of the problem lies."
“You’ll be taking over as president soon. Let’s make a deal: you can accept the position early, and I’d like to send her back.”
"I'll go."
Wyatt shook his head. "Your identity makes it impossible for you to leave. This trip will take at least two months."
“And my father too. I’ve already spoken to him. He didn’t object, and he even let me bring Anne with me.”
"Then let's work together. We have three vice presidents below us, so we're unlikely to go bankrupt."
Consider it an inspection of the Roy family's properties.
No matter how they discussed it, Zhang Hongmei had absolutely no idea that she had taken three children to the mountains to escape the summer heat.
Little Ningning can speak very fluently now, and Daniel can stand while holding onto things. So, the three women, along with Shen Yunfang, Huang Meihua's three servants, and five bodyguards, went up the mountain together.
Children are very curious about new environments, especially the mischievous Wang Zining.
Annie wasn't in a good mood. Zhang Hongmei put her arm around her and sat down in the yard.
"Annie, why have you been so down lately? Are you upset because you know Mommy is leaving?"
Zhang Hongmei decided to ask directly. What needs to be faced should be faced by the child himself.
Upon hearing Zhang Hongmei's words, Annie burst into tears. "Mom, I won't let you leave," she said, then hugged Zhang Hongmei and cried bitterly.
“Baby, you’re all grown up now. You should understand that Mom has been away from home for almost three years and misses her family very much.”
There's an old Chinese saying: all good things must come to an end. Think about it, when you grow up and start your own family, won't you have to leave your family?
Although Mom has returned to China and may not have the chance to visit you and Daniel again, you can come find Mom! Mom is waiting for you in China.
"But the holiday is so short. I can't even spend time with you."
"Then Annie will have to work hard on her own. If your grades are exceptionally good, can you ask your teacher for leave?"
Besides, I trust my darling; even if she needs to take a day off, it won't interfere with her studies.
"Mom, why can't you come to see me and Daniel?"
"You'll understand when you grow up. Right now, I can only tell you it's because of my status."
"Mom, can't you just not come back to China?"
Zhang Hongmei shook her head, "That's my home. My family and friends are all here."
"But I am your family too!"
Zhang Hongmei was speechless after being asked by Annie.
“Annie, it’s different. I’m not saying you’re not my family, but my elders are still there. Because they’re old, I don’t want to have any regrets.”
Anne, I'm so sorry, Mom really can't stay here for you.
Annie just hugged Zhang Hongmei and cried, feeling scared and helpless.
Huang Meihua and Wang Xinyi watched the two people embracing in the yard from inside the house. They both felt a pang of sorrow.
It's still unknown how the two younger ones will react after they find out Zhang Hongmei has left. Huang Meihua is especially worried about Daniel. Although her grandson can be with other people during the day without Zhang Hongmei, at night, he absolutely needs Zhang Hongmei to share a bed with him.
"Sister Huang, don't worry, let the child adjust for a while, and he'll get better gradually."
"That's all we can do. Annie's been unhappy lately, and I guessed it was probably because of this. But Annie won't say anything. That stubborn girl."
"It will get better slowly. Ningning is the same way; sometimes I have to wait in line behind Hongmei."
"All four of them have left, leaving only two girls. Are you going to stay here or move back?"
"Tiancheng and I have discussed it, and we'd like to wait until they graduate before moving back. We'll need to take better care of the remaining twelve students in the future."
"Well, I think the two girls living at home are alright, but the rest have some problems."
"Yes, but we'll be through this soon. There's still a little over a year left, it'll pass quickly."
Are you still going back to China?
"I'll wait until Ningning is five or six years old before going back. With Hongmei looking after the businesses there, there won't be any problems."
"Yes, the domestic industries will be handed over directly to Hongmei, and that's what Beth also said."
“Sister Huang, Carlos has been unhappy lately. Can you talk to him? We can’t keep Hongmei. I think Shouyi must be feeling restless right now.”
Wang Xinyi was right; now the three of them are counting down the days. Especially Zhang Shouyi. Every night he confirms his return time with Zhang Hongmei.
They were terrified she would come back late. Their letters became increasingly lengthy, almost always saying that they and their parents were eagerly awaiting her return.
Zhang Hongmei was very anxious about this. But the more anxious she was, the slower time seemed to pass.
"Xinyi, Carlos wants to take Hongmei back. Beth agreed. But I'm worried. Flying is so unsafe. But looking at my son, I can't bear to refuse."
