426: Hong Tongtong is back home

“These lawyers seem very interesting! Should I treat them to a meal someday? They traveled all this way for my husband; it wouldn't feel right not to treat them to a meal.” Shi Yuer said.

“No need, we’ve already decided. We’ll eat three meals a day outside my residential community. When we’ve eaten at every restaurant on that street, that will be the day Dr. Hai’s appeal is successful and he regains his freedom!” Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

“Alright then, on that day, I’ll treat everyone to the last meal at the last restaurant.” Shi Yuer said, “This is a must; you can’t refuse.”

“Okay, I’ll let you know when to come and eat with us.” Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

He had just walked out of the community and hailed a taxi: “Sister Shi, I’ll be at your place in about ten minutes. Let’s talk when I get there.”

After speaking, he hung up the phone and looked at the scenery outside the window.

The weather had noticeably cooled down a lot these past few days. Yuhai City, with its mountains and sea, wasn't too cold yet. Pedestrians on the street were still wearing summer clothes, but some elderly people who were sensitive to the cold had already changed into autumn attire. This led to a very strange dressing phenomenon: some people wore shorts and short-sleeved shirts, while others wore long-sleeved shirts and long pants with an outer jacket.

“Time flies so fast! Winter will be here soon.” Liu Xiaolin's mind wandered: “I need to go back and see Mom and my sister for the New Year. Will Hong Tongtong come with me? She should be done with her exams by then. If she has nothing else to do, it would be nice to take her to see Mom. My mother likes her very much.”

“Hong Tongtong? Ah! I don’t think I called her yesterday!” An alarm bell suddenly rang in Liu Xiaolin’s mind!

How could he forget to call Hong Tongtong? This was going to be troublesome! Sigh, when will Hong Tongtong grow up? Look at Xiao Hongmei, how understanding she is! Every time he saw Xiao Hongmei, he felt as if he was bathed in a spring breeze. How endearing that feeling was!

Liu Xiaolin, who had just been alarmed, suddenly felt completely relaxed when he thought of Xiao Hongmei: “It’s fine, I’ll call Hong Tongtong during dinner tonight. Then I’ll ask those lawyer brothers to vouch for me, to prove that I’m very busy, and then there won’t be any problem!”

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaolin was not flustered at all. He sat in the taxi and dozed off with a clear conscience, unaware that Hong Tongtong had already returned home, which was why Hong Tongtong hadn't had time to deal with him yesterday.

Hong Youli and Tong Mingzhu had completed their main work at the Deli Air Conditioning factory base. Now their work focus was returning to the sales headquarters in Kunhe City. When they learned that Hong Tongtong was living alone in the Jiantuan Electronics dormitory, they were still very worried. She had just been scared a while ago, so how could she live there alone?

So the couple discussed it and decided to just go back to Kunhe City and pick up their daughter!

The two acted immediately. They packed their luggage and drove straight to Kunhe City. They didn't even have time to unpack their things at home before driving to pick up Hong Tongtong.

Hong Tongtong had been living alone for a few days and found it meaningless. No matter how delicious the cafeteria food was, eating it alone was bland. So when she learned that her parents were coming to pick her up, she quickly packed her luggage and left with them. She hadn't seen her parents in a long time, and she finally resumed her identity as a pampered daughter, acting cute and spoiled in front of her parents, overjoyed.

In her excitement, she also forgot to tell Liu Xiaolin that she had returned home. At this moment, she also felt a little guilty: “How could I forget all about Liu Xiaolin when I saw Mom and Dad? Do I not love him as much as I imagine? Definitely not, loving parents and loving Liu Xiaolin are not the same concept, they cannot be confused! Yes, I love my parents, and I also love Liu Xiaolin! Telling him a day late is not a big deal!”

After telling herself this in her heart, Hong Tongtong began to calmly eat the various snacks and fruits her parents bought, living a good life where food was brought to her and clothes were handed to her!

What she didn't know was that Liu Xiaolin was also troubled about not having contacted her and didn't know how to explain it.

“We’re here.” A reminder startled Liu Xiaolin awake. He opened his eyes and saw that they had already arrived at Shi Yuer’s doorstep. After groggily paying the fare, he got out of the car. www.x33xs.com

Shi Yuer was already standing at the door waiting for him. Liu Xiaolin opened the garage door, drove out, and then returned the garage key to Shi Yuer: “Here’s your garage key back. Thank you.”

“What are you being polite for? I should be thanking you.” Shi Yuer said with a smile.

“Then let’s both stop with the pleasantries.” Liu Xiaolin poked his head out of the car window and said, “I’ll try not to come here as much in the future. I don’t want to cause you any trouble. We can contact each other by phone if anything comes up. I’m leaving now, bye-bye Sister Shi.”

Before Shi Yuer could say anything, Liu Xiaolin had already driven away in his little blue beat-up car.

At this moment, Shi Yuer was very touched. This young man was like someone sent from heaven to save her whole family. Without him, she would definitely still be searching the world for private investigators and getting scammed everywhere.

Now it was good. She could peacefully wait for good news. Perhaps in a few days, she could bring her husband home, and they could start over, living an ordinary and humble life together.

As Shi Yuer thought, she gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: “Why am I still crying? There’s clearly hope now!”

Liu Xiaolin, speeding along, didn't know about Shi Yuer's emotional tears at this moment. He was only thinking about getting to Haizhe Technology as soon as possible to ask about the situation there and pick up Xiao Hongmei on the way.

“What excuse should I use to take Xiao Hongmei to work tomorrow morning?” Liu Xiaolin was already considering how to tell the lawyers about taking Xiao Hongmei to work tomorrow.

By the time he arrived at Haizhe Technology, it was almost five o’clock.

He went straight to Han Ruoyu's office, as he was familiar with the place: “Minister Han, are you busy?”

“Oh, isn’t this General Manager Liu? Why are you here so close to closing time?” Han Ruoyu asked in surprise.

“Hey, I was picking up lawyers today, showing them the delicious food of Yuhai City. I was busy for most of the day, and then I remembered that the smart streetlights for our Langfang Fine Carving couldn’t be delayed, so I squeezed in some time to come and take a look.” Liu Xiaolin finally found a good excuse.

“Is that so? The workshop has already started production. Shall I take you to see it now?” Han Ruoyu said with a smile.

“No need, it’s already this late. I won’t go to the workshop to see it. If you have the data, just show me the data.” When Liu Xiaolin said these words, he knew in his heart that this data needed to be obtained from Xiao Accountant, the cost accountant in the Finance Department. And Han Ruoyu’s mind was all on that Xiao Accountant, so he would definitely be happy to take him to the Finance Department to ask about the relevant data.
