"Sigh! I know it's us who have dragged her down."
On the plane, there were a total of fifteen people on the trip, along with twenty bodyguards, plus Zhang Hongmei and her group of ten, who went directly to the private jet.
Zhang Hongmei and her three children were in first class.
"Mom, why are you so happy?" Xiao Wu asked with a smile.
"Yes, I haven't been out since I came back from the US."
"Mom, can you go out to play from now on?"
Zhang Hongmei sighed, "How could I possibly have the time? Your great-grandfather and grandfather are getting old, you're about to have a nephew, and there's your father too. There's no free time for them. Do you think I could leave them?"
"Mom, don't you feel wronged?" Xiao Liu asked.
Zhang Hongmei shook her head. "No, those are all my relatives."
"Mom, this situation can only be resolved after my dad retires."
"Yes, that's how it should be, but even if your father retires, we can't leave for too long."
The mother and her four children were chatting when Liu Jingze came over.
"Father, has your meeting ended?"
"Well, nothing important, just some things to note."
After Liu Jingze finished speaking, he sat down opposite Zhang Hongmei.
"Hongmei, we'll be in Canada for a while to renovate. Want to go out for a bit?"
Zhang Hongmei shook her head, "I've been here before, so I'd rather not, to avoid unnecessary trouble."
But if we have a chance when we come back, we can take a look around. Most people here speak like us.
"Hongmei, it's alright. This place has close ties with our country."
"That's too much trouble. It's not fun to play like that. Let's just stay at the airport and buy some Merlion figurines or something to give as gifts when we get back."
"Hehe, I'm still using the Merlion keychain you gave me." Liu Jingze said, taking it out. It only had one key on it.
"It's so well preserved!"
"Yes, I've kept it all along."
Xiao Wu and his two brothers exchanged glances. They weren't stupid; they knew that Liu Jingze had never given up on their mother, which was why their father was always worried.
Since it was a business trip, the lunch on the plane was quite plentiful.
"Mom, this chef is pretty good. Better than the one from the mountain," Xiaoqi commented.
“Hmm, I think it’s good too.” Zhang Hongmei nodded.
Because we were on the plane, we didn't get any rest.
Liu Jingze's assistant, Xiaolin, brought over two chessboards.
Liu Jingze said with a smile, "I taught Zhenye and the others how to play chess, but I neglected Xiao Wu and the other two."
"Father, my brothers say your chess skills are exceptionally high?"
"Not bad. Come on, which of you three wants to play a game with me?"
Xiaoqi leaned over and said, "Uncle, let me do it."
Zhang Hongmei watched from the side and said, "My Xiaoqi is better than her mother. Back then, I only lasted a few minutes under your uncle's thumb."
Liu Jingze recalled how Zhang Hongmei had become addicted to chess and had dragged him to play chess day after day.
"Mom, are you going to play a game of chess with my uncle?" Xiao Liu had seen his mother and father play chess before.
“Okay, Hongmei, come on, let’s have a plate, let the kids see.”
The three brothers watched their mother and uncle talking back and forth, and had very little time to think about it.
"Hongmei, your chess skills have improved again."
"That's right, I learned it all from Aunt Wang."
Later, the three of them finally saw their trajectory clearly.
"Mom, is Uncle's chess skill about the same as Dad's?"
"Yeah, they're about the same."
At 2 p.m., the plane stopped in Canada for inspection. Zhang Hongmei, along with her three sons and six bodyguards, went to a gift shop outside the airport.
I bought dozens of Merlion figurines.
"Mom, Dad has one of these in his study too."
"Yes, I bought this when I was passing through here while studying abroad."
I was on a ship for over twenty days back then. Your second aunt's husband, Uncle Zeng, and Uncle Cai were with me.
"Mom, isn't it very uncomfortable to sit on a boat for such a long time?" Xiao Liu asked.
"It's alright, seafood every day. It tasted delicious the first few days, but I got sick of it after a while."
"Hehe, if you ask me, my Uncle Cai never touches seafood when he eats."
"Hehe, Xiao Wu is so observant. Yes, back then I thought I would never eat it again for the rest of my life."
"Mom, you were already married to Dad when you went abroad to study, right? How could he agree to let you leave for so long?"
"Hehe, you should ask your dad that question."
The ten people wandered around outside for half an hour and then came back, all knowing that safety comes first.
The inspection only took two hours. The plane took off again.
That evening, the mother and her three children put down their chairs, and Zhang Hongmei handed each of them an eye mask.
But they were all uneasy, so they didn't sleep. However, when they saw their mother put on an eye mask, they followed suit and lay down.
When they arrived at the airport, the welcoming ceremony was very grand, and the ten of them didn't even get off the plane.
This was arranged in advance; they were just waiting for Liu Jingze and the others to leave before the McCann family came to pick them up.
"Mom, will it be Sister Annie picking us up? Or Brother Daniel coming?"
"It must be your brother. I guess your sister Annie is going to be hosting your uncle and his family."
After Liu Jingze and his group left, three cars drove up, and Carlos and Daniel got out.
"Hey! Uncle's here too?"
"Yes, Uncle Carlos came in person."
Carlos was quite excited to see Zhang Hongmei getting off the plane; after more than twenty years, he had finally reunited with the woman he loved.
Daniel smiled as he looked at Zhang Hongmei. When she came down, he went over and hugged her. "Mom, welcome home."
"Daniel, thank you."
Xiao Liu rushed over and grabbed Carlos's hand. His father had told him not to let other men hug his mother.
"Xiao Liu, are you Xiao Liu?"
"Uncle, you're amazing! You can even tell us apart."
"Hehe, how could I not tell them apart? Little Seven, what's wrong? Have you grown distant from your uncle? It's only been less than a year!"
"Uncle, I'm just curious, how come you have time to come over?"
“My darlings, come here. Even if something really important happens to me, I will come.”
Xiao Wu also walked over with a smile and greeted Carlos.
At this point, Zhang Hongmei and Daniel also calmed down.
Just then, someone got out of another car. Zhang Hongmei smiled when she saw him.
"Mr. Wyatt is such a big shot!"
Wyatt walked over with a smile and hugged her tightly, but immediately let go.
Carlos, now holding the hands of Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, sensed the momentary stiffness in the two brothers.
