"Xiao Chi can't go back by herself in her current state. Let's send someone to accompany her and settle her down at home before returning."

"Director, let me accompany Chi Fangping back. We are classmates and acquaintances." Zhu Weidong took the initiative to speak.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. The company will pay for the travel expenses and the children's expenses. Just keep the receipts and hand them in to the finance department when you come back."

Director Wang arranged all this. After the baby was cremated the next day, Director Wang told them about Zhu Weidong accompanying them back home. Then he said, "You should have a good rest at home. Your company will give you a holiday. We have already asked the higher-ups to transfer someone over."

"Director, I don't need to rest. I'll come back after I settle the child." Chi Fangping refused. "If I stay at home, I will always think of the child."

Director Wang sighed, "Okay, then I'll come back once you've settled down."

Chi Fangping added, "My mother and I can go back. Zhu Weidong's wife is pregnant and needs someone to take care of her."

"She can take care of herself." Zhu Weidong replied without waiting for Director Wang to speak.

Chi Fangping looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, "Then I'll trouble you."

Afterwards, Xiao Song took the three people to the train station in a truck. As they got on the train, Engineer Li suddenly cried out in pain.

"It's bad. Xiao Zhu left without telling her lover."

Director Wang said, "Then go tell her quickly and explain the situation so that she can understand."

"Okay, Director Wang, don't worry, my wife and I will take good care of Xiao Ji."

Everything was arranged, and Director Wang returned to his residence with his men.

Mr. Li and his wife walked towards the guesthouse. Now that everything was done, Xu Li's mind became active again.

"You still remember what happened in the hospital yesterday, right? What a coincidence that something happened to the child as soon as Ji Ling arrived."

"Aunt Chi is confused, and you follow her and talk nonsense." Mr. Li glared at his wife.

Xu Li said, "I'm just telling you, how dare I tell anyone else."

"Okay, talk to Xiao Ji about it when we get to the guesthouse. Weidong is also representing the company, so ask her to understand."

Xu Li said, "It's unreasonable for her to still care about it at this time."

Mr. Li didn't respond.

But he felt that Zhu Weidong was wrong in this matter. His wife was still young, and he left her in the guesthouse. No matter how urgent the situation was, he could not have come over in person to explain.

Ji Ling returned to the guesthouse with a heavy heart. After hearing the news brought back by Xu Li, she was indeed stunned for a moment, but she came to her senses immediately.

"Xiao Ji, you have to understand. Accountant Chi is in a state of panic. Director Wang and the others have come here and are very worried. Engineer Zhu and Accountant Chi are classmates. He can accompany them all the way to handle everything, and everyone feels at ease. I hope you can understand more, and Director Wang will also let you understand."

"Sister-in-law, you are worrying too much. I understand. The fact that Weidong stood up shows that he has love. I support him too."

Xu Li was choking on the words she wanted to say, and she managed to say, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard." Ji Ling didn't dwell on this matter for long, and said, "Sister-in-law, since Zhu Weidong is out doing business, I will wait for him here. You and Engineer Li can also go out for a walk. You don't have to stay with me in the guesthouse."

"How can we leave you alone? Come with us."

"No, I just feel a little tired these days, so I'll just rest in the guesthouse. You guys can have fun."

Xu Li was just being polite. It was a rare opportunity for her to have some time off to hang out with her husband, so she was naturally happy and agreed.

After returning to her room, she told her husband about it. After listening to her, Li Gong said, "Let's go for a walk by ourselves. Xiao Ji will feel awkward if he follows us."

"Okay." Xu Li lay down. "I think Xiao Ji seems a little unhappy. He didn't even smile."

"Accountant Chi's child is gone, so why is she smiling now?"

Xu Li was so angry that she shut up obediently.

The next day, Mr. Li and his wife said goodbye to Ji Ling before leaving, and reminded her to be careful. Ji Ling watched them leave.

"You came back by yourself?" Grandma Zhu looked behind her grandson and found that he was alone, so she asked, "Where's Xiaoling?"

"Xiaoling is still there. Chi Fangping lost her child. I came back with her to deal with the funeral. I'll go back after that." Zhu Weidong sat down. "Grandma, is there anything to eat at home?"

"The table has just been cleared. I'll ask Auntie to heat it up for you."

Zhu Yaowu stood up and said, "I'll go get my aunt to come over."

Old Mrs. Zhu pulled her grandson aside and asked, "Is Xiaoling safe over there? How many days will you stay here before you go back?"

"She's safe in the guesthouse."

"Why are you in the guesthouse?"

Zhu Weidong told her about the holiday, and Grandma Zhu said, "Why don't you bring Xiaoling with you? You two can stay at home for the New Year."

"Grandma, I came back to do some business, and I have to go back after I'm done." Zhu Weidong explained patiently.

"Chi Fangping is your classmate, right?" Zhu Yaowu came out of the kitchen. "The girl that Kang Xiaohua likes?"

Zhu Weidong hummed, "Her daughter was bitten by a snake and died of asthma."

"How old are you?" asked Mrs. Zhu.

“Six.”

"What a pity." Mrs. Zhu felt distressed, "When do you plan to bury him?"

"Tomorrow." Seeing the aunt carrying the food out, Zhu Weidong stood up and went over. "After dinner, I'll go over there again. I'll go back after I'm done with that."

Watching the people enter the kitchen, Zhu Yaowu frowned and sat down next to Old Lady Zhu, "How could my eldest brother leave my sister-in-law and travel a long distance to accompany another woman?"

"What's wrong? There's nothing more heartbreaking for a woman to lose her child."

Zhu Yaowu shook his head, "I don't think it's right anyway."

Old Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "You know your eldest brother's situation. You are fine. Just follow him and do some work."

"knew."

Later, when Zhu Weidong left, Zhu Yaowu followed him.

The two brothers were sitting in the car. Zhu Yaowu asked, "Brother, didn't your sister-in-law tell you that she would come back with you when you came back?"

"I left in a hurry, so I asked someone to send a message to your sister-in-law."

Zhu Yaowu was stunned for a moment, "Brother, no matter how urgent it is, one word won't be enough, right?"

Zhu Weidong didn't respond.

Zhu Yaowu raised his eyebrows, "Did you have a fight with your sister-in-law?"

"No."

"But you look like you had a quarrel."

Seeing that his elder brother remained silent, Zhu Yaowu stopped asking.

The two brothers arrived at the Chi family. Chi's father passed away when Chi Fangping was still a child. Chi's mother raised her daughter alone. Now there was a funeral at home and many relatives came. Chi's mother was sick, so Chi Fangping cheered herself up to entertain them.

The arrival of Zhu Weidong's brother also made Chi Fangping feel a lot more relaxed.
