The next morning, the sun shone brightly and a gentle breeze caressed their faces. Song Jingwei led Song Ziqing and his wife, followed closely by their two adorable babies, and the group walked happily toward Song Zhiwen's home.
Meanwhile, the three Song sisters had already left Song Zhiwen's home.
They had already returned home and resumed their busy work while Song Ziqing and his wife were on their road trip.
Meanwhile, Song Zhiwen has been spending time at home saying goodbye to his relatives and friends.
Just a few days ago, when he was busy packing his luggage, he heard that Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu had encountered a tornado. He was worried for a while. Fortunately, out of the thousands of people in the small town, only they survived.
Their good fortune even landed them in major American newspapers, making everyone think that this family was truly lucky and had a great life.
Song Zhixing had also seen the newspaper, which calmed him down. Now that he saw the group of people arriving at his home, he warmly welcomed them, saying, "Ziqing, Chengyu, you're finally back safe and sound! Your parents can finally relax. They haven't been eating or sleeping well these past few days, so you must comfort them."
“Uncle, my parents have been working very hard lately. We've also worried you these past few days, so after resting for one night, we came to visit you early this morning.”
Song Ziqing stepped forward and hugged the old man. She could feel his deep concern for the couple; his eyes did not lie.
"Yes, Uncle, we're sorry to have worried you. That's why my mother made breakfast early this morning and brought it over to eat with you."
Lin Chengyu greatly admired this elderly man who was a powerful figure during the Republic of China era, and recently, after exchanging more with him, he had learned a great deal of business experience from him.
"Haha, okay, come and sit down!" Song Zhixing laughed happily.
The family sat down happily and began to enjoy breakfast.
"It's truly fortunate that you all returned safely this time!" Song Zhixing exclaimed.
“Yes, after going through so much, we cherish our lives even more now,” Song Ziqing said.
"What are your plans for the future?" Song Zhixing asked.
“We’d like to rest for a couple of days first, and then our family will be heading back to Hong Kong. Our careers and studies are all in Hong Kong, and we can’t stay in the United States for long,” Lin Chengyu replied.
After dinner, Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu played with the children in the yard, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
Song Zhixing stood by the window, watching this heartwarming scene, his heart filled with joy.
Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu walked into the house from outside. Upon seeing this, Song Zhiwen discussed with everyone and decided that he and his eldest sister would return to Hong Kong with their family.
However, this time they did not plan to go directly to Hong Kong to settle down, but hoped to visit Song Jingwei's home first to experience local life.
After a period of adjustment, if they feel they can get used to the lifestyle there, then both families may choose to return to Hong Kong to live permanently.
However, Soong Mei-ling never had the idea of returning to Hong Kong.
After all, it's too close to Taiwan, and she doesn't want to have any more dealings with those people.
Perhaps it was because of some past experiences that she harbored resentment, or perhaps she had higher expectations for the new environment.
In any case, everyone has their own considerations and choices.
Back home, Song Ziqing eagerly looked at Lin Chengyu and asked curiously, "Ayu, where did Teacher Gu and the other person stay after they returned to New York? Do they have their own house in New York?"
Song Ziqing had always assumed that Gu Santong and Uncle Wang would naturally move into their home after returning to New York with them. However, the reality was quite different from his expectations; the two chose to leave directly.
Lin Chengyu replied thoughtfully, "Uncle Wang is actually a member of the Hongmen, and there happens to be a branch of the Hongmen in New York. Perhaps they are going there to report directly to the Hongmen."
For some time now, Lin Chengyu and these two elders have been trapped together in the basement for several days.
In their boredom, everyone listened with the excitement of discovering a treasure as the two elders recounted their legendary stories.
Those romantic and turbulent memories seemed to transport him back to that turbulent yet passionate era.
Through these stories, Lin Chengyu not only gained a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the two senior figures, but also learned that they had joined the Hongmen in their early years.
All the Hongmen members under heaven are one family. If you go to Hong Kong to develop your career in the future, you may be able to have some contact with the local Hongmen members!
"I see!" Song Ziqing nodded in understanding. He knew a little about the name Hongmen and knew that it was an organization with a long history.
"In any case, they are still people we know well. I hope they have a smooth journey in New York," Lin Chengyu said with concern.
"Yes, once we return to Hong Kong, we must find an opportunity to give them a grand welcome," Song Ziqing echoed in agreement.
"I don't think they'll stay with us forever. We can find a villa near the hillside villas so they can live nearby and we can take care of each other."
When Lin Chengyu thought about the true identities of the two elderly people, he felt that it would be inconvenient for his family and the other party if they lived in his home.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder.
“I really don’t care about these things, but if my parents find out their true identities, they might feel some resentment!”
Actually, living separately is a pretty good idea, after all, we're not short of money these days! Any problem that can be solved with money isn't a big deal at all!
Song Ziqing genuinely had an indifferent attitude towards this matter, because she herself was not afraid of the Hongmen forces at all.
However, her parents and children are quite different!
You have to understand that the elderly couple has spent their entire lives in a peaceful and stable environment. When faced with figures or groups like the Hongmen, who have a triad background, their way of getting along will inevitably lead to many uncomfortable situations.
Their children are still babies, and their worldview and values have not yet been developed. She is also worried that they will be negatively influenced.
In Song Ziqing's personal opinion, although this complex world is filled with all kinds of people who belong to different camps, such as the black, white, and gray paths.
Even when she has the right to choose, she still sincerely hopes that her beloved children will develop in the right direction in the future!
Living an upright and honest life is the best thing ever.
