âWhat did your grandpa say? Didnât he admit my son? Did you really say that to him? You...â Lang Hongyue questions him.
âAuntie, you are too keen.â Lang Ruoxian interrupts her words, âMy little cousin is just one month old. What do you want? Do you want Grandpa to give him some shares? Or money?â
His words awaken Lang Hongyue.
âI... I am afraid that he is still angry with me.â Lang Hongyue says in a flattering voice, âYouâre right. I am too keen. Dad gave shares when Gungun was one year old at that time.â
Shu Sheng quietly walks in. He puts down a cup of hot milk tea and goes out. Lang Ruoxian pushes the cup and continues to say, âAuntie, in my humble opinion, if you are always so emotional, it will affect the little kid.â
âRight, right!â Lang Hongyue agrees. As long as other people mention her son, Lang Hongyue will become happy even if she is upset. âYour uncle thinks that the weather is too hot now. So he wants to invite everyone to our sonâs birthday party when he is one year old.â
Lang Hongyue seems to think of something, then she says with a smile, âItâs just like Gungun. Both of them have a one-year-old birthday party!â
When Lang Hongyue finally leaves, she still tells Lang Ruoxian again, âIf you are not busy, you can call your grandpa and put in a good word for me.â
It seems that she is fear that Lang Ruoxian wonât help her. Lang Hongyue says, âRuoxian, now Lang Family is yours. Your cousin is still young. I just want to bring him up now. So Iâll hand the companyâs business to you.â
After Shu Sheng sends her out, he comes in and says, âEven if she wants to take part in the companyâs business, she doesnât have the ability now.â
âDoes Tian Bocheng start to transfer the companyâs funds?â Lang Ruoxian loosens his tie and says, âItâs really a good opportunity for Tian Bocheng after Grandpa separated the company.â
At present, Lang Hongyue just pays attention to her son. The company is completely handed to Tian Bocheng to run. Anyway, they are the couple with good relationship. Lang Ruoxian doesnât know how much Tian Bocheng would leave for Lang Hongyue.
But... Lang Ruoxian thinks, Lang Li should not leave anything for Lang Hongyue.
Yan Hua does not expect Lang Hongyue to invite her to the babyâs one-month-old party before.
âShe said that the ceremony was at home and there were no strangers.â Yan Hua tells it to Lang Ruoxian, âWhy does she invite me? She also said that I could bring Gungun there.â
When Lang Ruoxian goes back in the evening and hears Yan Huaâs words, his eyes become cold immediately. He asks, âWhat did you say?â
âI said that I had an appointment with someone else, so it was not convenient for me to go there. But she said that if I didnât go tomorrow, she would come to our home later.â Yan Hua looks serious. She asks, âWhat the hell does she want?â
âLet me call to ask her.â Lang Ruoxian is absolutely unwilling to let Yan Hua contact with Lang Hongyue. He calls Lang Hongyue and asks her directly. But he is a little speechless after hearing her reasons.
He tells Yan Hua, âShe wants a few pieces of old clothes of Gungun.â
Yan Hua finally understands, âI know. I collect all the clothes of Gungun that he wore when he was young. Let me find several clothes and let people send them to her. Is that okay?â Yan Hua doesnât want to go there actually.
He asks Yan Hua, âWhy does she want Gungunâs old clothes?â Lang Ruoxian doesnât understand it.
âItâs said that children wearing other kidsâ old clothes will be better to grow up and wonât be sick.â Yan Hua tells him and goes upstairs. Lang Ruoxian follows her. She continues to say, âI guess that she doesnât want other kidsâ clothes. Then she thinks of Gungun.â
Lang Ruoxian doesnât understand this. But he wonât care about that as long as Lang Hongyue has no intrigue.
âYou pack them up. I will take them to the company tomorrow and let someone send them to her.â
On the weekend, G City has a heavy rain, and it doesnât stop until the evening. At the airport gate, Qiang Di is holding an umbrella. Her assistant, Yangyang, is next to her.
âSister Di, the car is coming soon. Are you cold or not?â Her assistant Yangyang asks Qiang Di.
Qiang Di stops thinking about other things. Then she smiles at Yangyang, âIâm not cold. Itâs warmer than the United States.â
âThatâs true!â Yangyang says with excitement. âThe last time we stayed here was too short. Now we have enough time to go shopping! I heard that G Province is a gourmet capital.â
Qiang Di lowers her head and looks softly at the rain outside. She says, âI havenât been to many places, either. When we put our package in our house, we can visit many places.â
âDid you not live in G City before?â The little assistant asks curiously. âJ told me that you come from G City.â
Qiang Di shakes her head and says, âNo. But my hometown is also in a coastal area like G City. My hometown is more than 500 kilometers far away from here.â
A commercial car stops before them. The driver gets out of the car and opens the door for them. He says, âMiss Qiang Di, Iâm sorry to let you wait for a long time. Letâs get on the car quickly!â
âThank you!â Qiang Di sits in the car and asks softly, âIs it raining for a long time?â
The driver starts the car and answers, âYes. It has lasted for a day. If it continues to rain, tomorrow will be another rainy day. Iâm afraid a typhoon will come.â
The airport is far from their house. The driver doesnât like to talk too much, so the car is very quiet. Qiang Di opens the phone and hesitates for a while, but she still doesnât send a message to Lang Ruoxian. She comes back in secret and she doesnât want to leave again.
And she believes that Lang Ruoxian should already know that. In fact, when she lefts the United States by plain, Lang Ruoxian has already received the news.
âYoung Master, Qiang Di comes back.â Shu Sheng enters into the office.
Lang Ruoxian frowns and asks, âWhere is she now?â
âShe is on the plane now. She will arrive at about 5 oâclock. Her foreign agent has helped her buy the house that is in the Bishui Garden in the Southern District.â
It is a very high-end community and many stars live in it. Its safety facilities and environment are great.
âShe doesnât want you to know. Should we pick her up at the airport?â Shu Sheng asks him.
Lang Ruoxian thinks for a moment. Then he says, âNo. Just pretend that we donât know that.â
âYoung Master...â Shu Sheng says, âWe will almost achieve our plan. If Qiang Di...â He is a little worried.
âDonât be nervous. Letâs wait until she contacts me.â Lang Ruoxian says.
Qiang Di is very satisfied with the new home. She brings back some of the favorite accessories that she bought in the foreign country. The little assistant is busy helping her clean up the house. Yangyang doesnât live here. Her family is in the United States. She will go back after a few days of playing.
âSister Di, can I stay here to accompany you?â Putting a carpet on the floor, Yangyang says, âWe will worry about you if you stay alone here.â
Qiang Di is putting her clothes in the closet. She turns her head and glances at Yangyang, âDonât worry about me. I just want to come back to settle down. You donât need to stay with me.â
âBut I will miss you!â
âWe will see each other soon. I have to go to Japan to perform at the end of the year. Next year, I will return to the United States to participate in an activity. So we can meet every few months.â
The little assistant agrees happily, âItâs right! Iâm just not used to let you return home to live alone.â
âItâs up to you. If you are willing to stay here, you can do it.â Qiang Di blinks and says, âAs long as you donât want to stay with your boyfriend!â
The little assistant keeps silence. She just fell in love and doesnât want to leave her boyfriend at all.
In the next few days, Qiang Di plays with Yangyang around the G City. Finally, when she sends the little assistant away with lots of specialties, she goes home and sighs her relief.
âHello!â She calls Lang Ruoxian, âYou are really calm when you know that I am back.â
Lang Ruoxian, on the other side of the phone, says, âI know you will call me. Are you used to it?â
âI have no choice but to get used to it.â Qiang Di smiles, âTo celebrate me go home, can you invite me to dinner tomorrow?â
âOkay. I will pick you up.â
âDonât do that. Just tell me the place after you order it. I can go there by myself.â
Today is the first day of the kindergarten holiday. Fei Ying and Xiaojiu play in Yan Huaâs house. They also discuss whether they go out to play on the summer vacation.
âXiaojiu will go to the crew next week. She just needs ten days for it. So we have time to go out and play.â Fei Ying proposes, âBut Sister Chen canât go with us this year. She wants to accompany Mingxi to the summer camp.â
Yan Hua puts the fruit down and asks, âI heard that she asks Li Yi to run the company. Is that true?â
âYes! I guess they will get married soon.â
This year, everyone knows how Li Yi treats Chen Hong. He treats Chen Hong and Mingxi very well.
âHow about asking the children where they want to go?â Fei Ying waves her hands and asks, âXiaojiu, Gungun, donât play. Come over!â
The two little guys are watching cartoons over there, and they donât move a little.
âIf you donât come, the fruit will be eaten soon.â Yan Hua shouts.
âMom, I am coming!â Gungun stands up and runs to this side.
Xiaojiu walks slowly. Obviously, she is not very interested in eating fruit.
âHow does he like to eat fruit so much?â Fei Ying asks in a low voice.
Yan Hua answers, âBecause I told him that if he didnât eat fruit every day, he couldnât eat pudding.â
âItâs a great idea!â
Before they ask their children, Lang Ruoxian goes back.
âMr. Lang can really control yourself now. Do you particularly want to sleep here?â Fei Ying knows that Lang Ruoxian still goes to his own house to sleep every night. She feels that he is so pitiful. Fei Ying asks him, âWhen can you step further?â
Lang Ruoxian sits down beside Yan Hua and says, âThat depends on her.â
Gungun is eating a mango. He calls Lang Ruoxian father. Lang Ruoxian touches Gungunâs head.
âThere is one thing that I should let you know in advance.â He takes Yan Huaâs hand and says, âQiang Di is back.â
âThe woman comes back again?â Fei Ying says. She does not pay attention to how Lang Ruoxian describes it. Fei Ying is so surprised and asks, âWhat does she want to do this time?â
Yan Hua also asks the man with her eyes. Lang Ruoxian doesnât tell a lie. He answers, âShe returns home to settle down. This time she wonât go any more.â
âOh my God!â Fei Ying is stunned. âWill... Will she plan to fight for a long time?â
Yan Hua canât tell Fei Ying the relationship between Qiang Di and Lang Ruoxian. So she just nods, âI know.â
âAnd then?â Fei Ying looks at her.
âWhat?â Yan Hua asks.
âHow can you just say that?â Says Fei Ying. She really worries about Yan Hua and pokes her head. âShe is coming to grab your...â Fei Ying stops suddenly. She pushes Xiaojiu and tells her, âGo. Take the younger brother to watch TV.â
Xiaojiu glances at her mother, âYou just use this kind of excuse when you donât want to let our children listen!â
âSister, eat it!â Gungun puts half a red dragon fruit into Xiaojiuâs hands.
Xiaojiu takes him to watch TV.
âAh. Itâs more difficult to cheat her.â Fei Ying shakes her head and then stares at Yan Hua seriously. âThat woman lives well abroad. Why does she come back? She must go home for Mr. Lang!â
Lang Ruoxian twitches his corner of the mouth. He says, âI will invite her to dinner tomorrow. Letâs talk about it when I come back. Iâm leaving now.â
âOkay.â Yan Hua sends Lang Ruoxian out and returns to listen to Fei Yingâs words.
âYou are still so generous. Why do you let him go? You should ask him what he thinks.â Fei Ying says.
Yan Hua pinches her face and says, âYou havenât seen her yet. How do you know she comes back to grab Lang Ruoxian?â
âDoes she come back to be friends with you?â Fei Ying shows the whites of her eyes.
