Shen Suyin pinched Sun Bailing's nose. Aunt Shi then came in, put the porridge on the bedside table, looked up and saw it, and quickly ran away with the tray.
The playful actions of the two of them made Sun Bailing suddenly open his eyes.
Shen Suyin curled her lips in disdain, "A-Ling, how come you've gotten so old?"
Is this not a dream, but real?!
Sun Bailing suddenly sat up in bed, his hand trembling as he reached out to touch Shen Suyin's face, only to be slapped away by Shen Suyin.
Did you wash your hands after taking off your socks last night?
Sun Bailing withdrew his hand shyly, then jumped off the bed to the floor with great joy, asking nose to nose.
"Su-yin, is it really you? Su-yin, have you really come back? Su-yin, how come you're still so beautiful?"
Shen Suyin turned her head away haughtily, "Who's as ugly as you, all the time?"
If Sun Bailing had a tail, it would surely wag like a propeller right now. "So what if a grown man is ugly? Beautiful women have young ladies."
Shen Suyin snorted, "Did you say that to Xiao Rong as well?"
Shen Suyin grew angrier the more she thought about it. "Xiao Rong has given birth to several children for you. You must have said that, maybe even more flatteringly than that. Sun Bailing, I misjudged you. I've waited for you for so many years in vain. How could you do this to me?"
"Miss, I didn't, I really didn't!"
Sun Bailing was so anxious that he kept pacing around Shen Suyin.
Whichever way Sun Bailing turned, Shen Suyin would turn her back to him. Before long, Sun Bailing was covered in sweat, and his fever miraculously subsided.
Luo Yan stood at the door watching the commotion. Hua Li heard from Aunt Shi that Luo Yan had returned and came out to look for her, but Luo Yan dragged her along to watch.
Her parents were being all lovey-dovey and flirtatious, and it wasn't appropriate for her, as their daughter, to stand by and watch. Hua Li turned to leave, but Luo Shicheng pulled her back by the shoulders.
Chen Yuanshan was carrying Xiaoxiu to the hospital and joined in the fun as they passed by.
Xiao Xiu vaguely saw Sun Bailing chasing after Shen Suyin, calling her "Miss," hugging and kissing her. He felt his fever had subsided considerably, so he perked up and started watching.
Sun Bailing finally managed to grab Shen Suyin's hand and kissed it repeatedly.
"A-Ling promises that A-Ling belongs to Miss, always will, in this life, in the next life, and in the life after that, for all eternity."
I took in Xiao Rong and her son only because she is your friend, and I have always slept in separate rooms from her.
"I really didn't touch her. If you still don't believe me, go ask her. If she dares to say I touched her, may she be struck by lightning."
Shen Suyin punched Sun Bailing in the chest with her fist. "Alright, no need to explain. I believe you that there's only one single bed in your room."
Sun Bailing chuckled foolishly, "I'll have someone change the bed to a double one right away, Su Yin, please stay and don't leave."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The people at the door couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Sun Bailing was so busy coaxing his wife that he didn't notice anyone at the door until he heard laughter and realized he was being watched.
Sun Bailing saw Hua Li and Luo Yan as if they were his saviors. He went forward, picked up Luo Yan, and pushed Hua Li to Shen Suyin.
Hua Li cried all night and her eyes were swollen. She was only wearing ordinary clothes, which did not meet Shen Suyin's exquisite standards. Shen Suyin just looked at Hua Li without saying a word.
After crying all night, Hua Li finally understood and spoke up.
“I know you are my mother, and you know I am your daughter, but you have your requirements, and I know I don’t meet them. I also have my own conditions, and you are not qualified either.”
"You don't have to acknowledge me, but I can't abandon my father. However, as long as Dad is doing well, you can make any request you want, and I'll agree to anything, even if it means never seeing you again."
Shen Suyin looked Hua Li up and down with a critical gaze. "Don't think your tactic of retreating to advance is so clever. I'm not falling for it."
Sun Bailing said, "Tell Hua Li which version you like. After all, you and your daughter haven't seen each other for over twenty years, and she doesn't know what you like."
Shen Suyin rolled her eyes at Sun Bailing, "What Hua Li? Why won't you let your own daughter change her surname to Sun?"
Sun Bailing said gently, "Without adoptive parents, it's uncertain whether Hua Li would have lived to this age. We must remember their kindness and not change her surname. Besides, no matter what her surname is, she is still our daughter, without a doubt."
Shen Suyin sneered, "She doesn't even call me 'Mom,' what kind of daughter is she? Is this how a daughter behaves?"
"mom……"
Hua Li shouted happily, earning a big eye roll from Shen Suyin.
"Just like your father, shameless. Did I tell you to call me that?"
Hua Li acted as if she hadn't heard him and turned to talk about Luo Yan.
"Call her Grandma."
"Don't..." Shen Suyin said angrily, "She ran away first when I was being bullied by bad guys. I can't accept such an unfilial granddaughter."
Sun Bailing took out the paintings he had collected by Luo Yan and showed them to Shen Suyin.
“It was Yanyan who punctured the tire, and you still say your granddaughter is unfilial? What kind of grandmother are you?”
Shen Suyin took the painting, looked at it from left to right, and casually tossed it back to Sun Bailing.
“I recognized her at a glance on the plane, but she was not nice to me at all and deliberately made me angry. When we got off the plane, I held her hand, but she let go of it without warning. I didn’t want to talk to her.”
Luo Yan, "An old child?"
Shen Suyin bristled, "You're the old one!"
Luo Yan held up three fingers and waved them in front of Shen Suyin.
"Three years old."
Shen Suyin was so angry she went crazy. "A-Ling, look at her!"
Sun Bailing sternly scolded Luo Yan, "Don't you dare upset your grandmother..."
Turning to Shen Suyin, he asked, "Miss, did you bring a letter of introduction?"
The letter of introduction was obtained after she went to her original residence in Beijing, where she verified her identity with the property deed and old household registration. Shen Suyin was puzzled. "You brought it? Why?"
