Chapter 514 A Loving Family
Although I've gotten used to living in the villa, who wouldn't miss their own home?
They simply felt deeply guilty and wanted to spend the rest of their lives on the mountain.
Han Xi opened the car door, and Gu Hongyi led Ding Shan out slowly. Their elderly parents, with white hair, were waiting for them at the door with smiles on their faces.
Grandma Gu said kindly, "Welcome back."
Grandpa Gu also declared, "If you dare to do anything bad again, I will beat you with my cane."
Han Xi and the others did not tell them what Gu Hongyi and his wife had done, but as parents, how could they not know? They just never said it out loud.
With tears in his eyes, Gu Hongyi stepped forward and knelt before his parents. "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I've been unfilial."
Ding Shan followed, but was helped up by Grandma Gu as soon as her knees bent.
"They say that it is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. I am really happy to see the changes in you two. My daughter-in-law, it's good that you're back."
Grandma Gu looked genuinely sincere. Although she and her mother-in-law had many conflicts, they had reached this point and there was nothing she couldn't let go of.
Ding Shan rushed forward and the two embraced, at which moment all the resentment in her heart dissipated.
Han Xi was deeply moved. Shen Jiheng put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Bringing them back was a wise choice."
Han Xi nodded: "You're right. If I saw this, I would be very happy."
It would be even better if Qianqian came back.
Just then, a clear voice came from behind: "It's so lively! Everyone's gathered together."
Han Xi turned around in surprise, and Zhuo Qing waved to her with a smile: "Xi Xi, it's been a few days, did you miss me?"
"Qianqian?"
Han Xi's voice was filled with disbelief; she never expected Zhuo Qingqian to come back on her own initiative.
She had originally planned to take Gu Beichen abroad to find her after everything was resolved.
Han Xi turned and ran towards her, excitedly grabbing her hand.
"Am I dreaming? You're back."
Zhuo Qingqian raised her hand and pinched her face, asking, "Does it hurt?"
Han Xi nodded: "It hurts!"
Zhuo Qingqian smiled and said, "So it's not a dream. I'm back. I've calmed down for a few days and figured out a lot of things."
Grandma Gu and Ding Shan excitedly ran over, and when they saw her slightly protruding belly, they couldn't stop crying.
Zhuo Qingqian's eyes reddened, and she choked up as she said, "Grandma, Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you. I won't run around anymore."
Grandma Gu gripped her hand tightly, and Ding Shan held her wrist, truly afraid that she would disappear if she let go.
"Child, it's all our fault for letting you down. It's so good that you're back."
"Qianqian, from now on, Mom will take care of everything for you and won't let you suffer any injustice."
Zhuo Qingqian nodded with a smile, "Okay, Grandma will stand by my side too."
Gu Beichen, who rushed back after receiving the news, was stunned when he saw the scene at the door as soon as he got out of the car.
He had only heard that his parents were coming back, but he didn't expect Zhuo Qingqian to be there too.
He rubbed his eyes and hurriedly called out to Han Xi and Shen Jiheng.
"Han Xi, Ji Heng, come quickly and help me see if I'm seeing things. I can't believe I'm seeing Qianqian in front of me."
Shen Jiheng walked over and pinched his arm, asking, "Can you feel anything?"
Gu Beichen shook his head: "I feel nothing now, it really was a dream."
He thought Zhuo Qingqian would never forgive him again and would never appear by his side again, but the person in front of him was wearing maternity clothes and had a smile on her face. It was definitely not Zhuo Qingqian.
Ding Shan smiled wryly and said, "You're stunned by the sight of the child, Bei Chen. It really is Qianqian who's back."
Seeing that he was frozen in place, Gu Hongyi pulled him over.
"You silly boy, you deserve to suffer. Look carefully, your wife is right here. If you dare to bully her in the future, I'll smash your head in."
Gu Beichen first looked at his parents, then his eyes widened and fell on Zhuo Qingqian.
He hesitated for a moment before reaching out, but then quickly withdrew his hand, afraid of harming the dream before him, worried that it would disappear if he touched it.
Just as he was about to lower his hand, Zhuo Qingqian hurriedly grabbed it.
These were warm and tactile hands, causing Gu Beichen's pupils to dilate.
"Gu Beichen, listen to me. I'll forgive you this once. But if you make me angry again in the future, I'll take the child and run far away."
Gu Beichen's tears fell as he looked at everyone in disbelief, and then at Zhuo Qingqian incredulously.
Han Xi patted his shoulder: "Brother, Qianqian gave us all a surprise. Even I didn't know she was coming back so suddenly. You have to make the most of it."
Gu Beichen was somewhat dazed, gazing at her as if she were a precious treasure.
"Qianqian, you're back."
Zhuo Qingqian leaned forward, and Gu Beichen carefully held her in his arms. Only when he felt her heartbeat did he believe that everything was real.
"I'm back. I've missed you and everyone else these past few days."
Gu Beichen pulled his arms closer and buried his head in the crook of her neck. He wanted to hold his beloved tightly like this and keep her by his side forever.
He choked up and said, "Don't leave me again. I'm sorry, Qianqian, please don't leave me again."
Zhuo Qingqian nodded sadly. The two of them had gone through so many ups and downs over the years, it was time for them to settle down.
Grandma Gu clapped her hands happily, and her whole being became energetic.
"Today is truly a wonderful day for our Gu family to reunite. We, as a family, will love each other and never be apart."
Han Xi stepped forward and hugged her, "Grandma is right, we will never be apart."
Han Xi was truly happy, having not felt this joy in a long time.
The two children playing inside heard the commotion and ran out, making things even more lively.
In the afternoon, Shen Jiheng and Han Xi left.
Shen Jiheng looked at her with doting eyes, seeing that the smile on her face never faded.
"I haven't seen you this happy in a long time. I wish I could see your smiling face like this every day."
Han Xi leaned on his shoulder and said, "Now all the problems are solved. Qianqian is back, and Uncle is back at the company to help my brother. I don't have to worry anymore."
Shen Jiheng stroked her head, not wanting to say anything that would spoil the mood, seeing how happy she was.
"Do you want to go back to Han Shu, or come back to the company with me?"
"My dad hasn't been to the company for the past two days. There are some documents that need to be signed, so I'll go and take care of them. I'll come find you after get off work."
"Okay, don't work too hard, I'll take you there first."
Shen Jiheng also wanted to resolve everything as soon as possible and restore peace to Han Xi.
The car stopped downstairs at Han Shu Group, and Han Xi gave him a warm kiss before getting out of the car.
As Shen Jiheng watched her cheerful figure disappear into the distance, he really wanted to help her retain all her happiness.
The new assistant, Su Qiang, reported from the passenger seat: "President, we've discovered that Bo Siye is investigating an underground organization and has even bribed assassins."
It seems he sensed something was amiss with the Gu family, and as for bribing the assassin, the target was definitely himself.
"Tell our people to be on high alert, and if anything seems amiss, strike first."
"Understood. We also found out that his new assistant is Li Yuan's younger brother, Li Shuo, who used to be a top bodyguard with excellent skills, protecting important figures."
Shen Jiheng frowned slightly, somewhat surprised. This seemingly insignificant Li Yuan had such a family background. It seemed they would face a lot of trouble in the future.
"Keep a close eye on this person and never let them get close to the Han and Gu families."
Shen Jiheng wasn't afraid, but he was worried about hurting his family.
