"After only a few years, they couldn't hold on and went back to their hometown. After all, you can't stay in Beijing without money. But they didn't give up after they went back and kept looking for you."
“I didn’t want to look anymore, but one day I saw a news report and the little girl in it looked a lot like you, so I sent people to investigate and found out that they really are your parents. As for your older brother, he passed away the year he went back to his hometown. Now there are only the two of them left, and they have no other children.”
“They will come to your house tomorrow. If you are willing to accept them, they will be your parents. If you are not willing, I will give them some money and they can go back to their hometown and stay there. They won’t bother you. Your uncle knows that it was wrong of him to make this decision on his own.”
"I was just thinking about it. You might also want to be the one your father leads you into the future and takes care of you for the rest of your life when you get married. Don't be angry."
He was afraid that his daughter would get angry because of his decision. After all, he had raised her for nearly twenty years and had developed feelings for her. If she got angry, he would feel bad too.
Xia Hua shook her head. "Uncle, don't worry, I'm not angry. I already guessed half of what they were like when they appeared. Uncle, what kind of people are they?"
She could actually guess it, but more than 20 years had passed, and she had never thought of relying on her parents. After all, although she and Shushu had uncles and aunts, they were too busy and often neglected them.
Although they had no worries about food and clothing and were served by servants, they relied on each other, so it seemed that their parents didn't really make any difference.
An's father laughed and said, "You silly girl, when did you start speaking in such a roundabout way? Don't worry, I've already had someone investigate. Your parents are honest people, not the kind of people who would try to climb the social ladder."
"Although we pay more attention to your older brother, we treat you well too. It's just that your family is not well-off and you need medical treatment. But the villagers are kind and have lent them a lot of money."
“Over the years, all I’ve done is look for you and earn money to pay back the villagers. I’ve never defaulted on my debts. When I told you that you needed a large sum of money urgently, you immediately took out all the money you had on you and said you could lend me more if it wasn’t enough.”
"So don't worry, they are good people and you can contact them without worry. If you really don't want to, I believe you can handle it."
This daughter is very smart. Hearing these words, she will make arrangements even if her parents are not brought to live with her.
Xia Hua nodded, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll take care of things when they come tomorrow." No matter how important they are, there's no rush. Today is her wedding day, she'll deal with it after today.
"Auntie believes you can handle this. We're going home now. We'll be waiting for you to come back tomorrow. Yanran, come visit us often," said Aunt An.
She was quite satisfied with her second daughter-in-law; she was well-educated, had the air of a lady from a wealthy family, and could even keep her son in check—what a wonderful thing!
Feng Yanran stood up. "Okay, Auntie, come to my house to play another day."
Based on their interactions today, she felt that the Shucheng family was easy to get along with and not the kind of people who harbor deep resentment. She thought that if she married into the family, she would be able to get along well with them.
Seeing his parents leave, An Shucheng stood up as well. "I'll take Yanran home. Goodbye." After saying that, he took his girlfriend's hand and headed outside.
It's not his wedding day, but he still has to take his girlfriend home. If he goes home too late, his future father-in-law will be unhappy.
"Then we'll be going too, please enjoy your meal." An Shuheng hurriedly pulled his wife to their hotel room, where they would be staying that night.
"Huahua, how did you feel when you suddenly saw your parents? Were you sad or too excited?" An Shuyi asked while eating.
She considered that the man might be a plant hired by her father, and never thought of him as Hua Hua's father. Luckily, she didn't ask him rashly, otherwise it would have been too presumptuous.
Xia Hua glanced at her and said, "Silly girl, so many years have passed. You're not a child anymore. Do you think it's possible for you to feel sad or excited?" Over the years, apart from Shu Shu, no one else could possibly stir her emotions.
However, we need to add one more now, Cheng Yumo. They will also have children in the future, but compared to Shushu, Shushu is naturally more important. Compared to others, the time they spend together is the longest in a lifetime.
"I'm not stupid, I'm just curious. But you're right, I'm not a child anymore, I'm way past the age of being easily upset or excited."
Although they are only twenty-three years old now, they have already lived for more than forty years. No matter what they do, they should remain calm.
"Good to know. Eat less, otherwise you won't be able to sleep if you eat too much. We're leaving now!" After saying that, she and Cheng Yumo went back to their room.
Watching them leave, Xiao Yubai asked, "Wife, do you want more?" Although it was their wedding night, his wife was pregnant, and alas, she still had several months to go.
"I'm not eating anymore, you eat!" He kept feeding himself, even though he hadn't eaten yet.
"Okay, I'll be quick." Seeing that she wasn't eating, he put down the spoon, picked up the chopsticks, and ate from the bowl he had been feeding her. She finished eating a few minutes later.
He wiped his mouth clean. "Honey, let's go back to the room and remove your makeup." Although she looked beautiful, she must be uncomfortable.
"Let's go!" An Shuyi stood up and was helped into the elevator by him, heading towards the room.
"Honey, sit here, I'll help you remove your makeup." He had removed his makeup many times before and knew the steps well.
"Okay." She sat to the side, waiting for him to help her remove her makeup, wash her face, and dry her hair. Only after this whole service did he have time to wash his own hair.
After washing them, I didn't rest. I put all the dresses and jewelry into boxes. I'll wash the wedding dress and other formal wear when I get home tomorrow and then put them away.
This was the first time he had ever seen such expensive clothes, and there were five of them. After staying in this world for a while, he knew the value of money, unlike when he first arrived, when he had no idea at all.
"Have you put it away yet? Help me massage my legs, I'm so tired." Seeing that he was still busy, An Shuyi had to urge him on.
"Almost done, honey, don't rush. There's only one set, so put it away. Wait two more minutes." Xiao Yubai said, quickly folding the dress and putting it in the box.
He didn't know how to fold it at all; he had only seen it placed inside once. He folded it according to the previous way, although it was a little different, but it would do. Once it was cleaned, he would hang it up.
He put the boxes aside, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then went to the bed, carefully massaging his legs. "Honey, how's the pressure?"
"It can be a little heavier."
"Okay!" He increased the pressure on his body and continued pressing, but as he pressed, he couldn't help but feel distracted and swallowed hard.
The sound of swallowing came from the quiet room, waking An Shuyi from her drowsy state. Seeing his burning gaze, she ignored it and continued to lie down, enjoying the massage.
