Chapter 1106 The Xu Family's Worries
Fu Hai listened intently, his eyes burning with desire; he really wanted to put it into practice.
Liu Meilan shook her head and chuckled. Even a snowball fight could be used as a military tactic—the three-on-three system…
Amidst the reluctance of her family, Liu Meilan, Fu Chen, and their bodyguard boarded the plane with their two children.
Last year, my child was young, so we could only travel by train, which took two or three days to get there. Even the sleeper berth wasn't comfortable.
Now that the child is older, he can fly. The flight is at 9:30, and it takes about three hours to arrive. If there's no traffic, we should arrive at the Fu family's old house around 1:00.
The children were quite noisy, so Liu Meilan fastened their seatbelts on the plane.
Liu Meilan whispered, "Fu Ying and Fu Hai, don't shout. After we get off the plane and arrive at your great-grandparents' house, you can make a request to your mother. It doesn't matter what you want or what you need."
"Really?" Fu Ying's eyes lit up.
Fu Chen quickly added, "If you're buying something, it can't exceed one hundred yuan, and the requests you make can't be too dangerous."
Liu Meilan nodded, "Yes, yes, your father's addition was very timely."
"I'll think about it carefully." Fu Ying nodded, then picked up a marine encyclopedia and looked at the pictures on it.
Fu Hai looked at all sorts of guns, occasionally asking his father, Fu Chen, to explain.
Liu Meilan and Fu Chen kept busy the whole way, but thankfully the child stopped fussing and the adults were able to control their volume.
Most of the time, the child doesn't speak; he just watches quietly.
When they went to the restroom, Liu Meilan took Fu Ying with her, and Fu Chen took Fu Hai. As parents, they were busy, but not tired.
The airplane food wasn't very tasty, but it was enough to fill my stomach.
Before Liu Meilan boarded the plane, she called her grandfather and grandmother, and the two elderly people began to look forward to it.
They wanted to go to the station to pick him up, but were stopped by the guards. "It's starting to snow outside, sir. You should wait at home. We'll drive to pick you up."
Old Master Fu couldn't stay still, so after watching the car drive away, he came to the door.
The light snow outside gradually intensified, falling softly and steadily, which made them a little worried.
"Old man, come inside," Madam Fu invited.
Grandpa Fu waved his hand, "No need, I'm in good health. Since I started recuperating over there, I haven't felt cold in my hands and feet this winter, and my legs are more agile."
Madam Fu nodded, "That's right! After the New Year, there will be all sorts of meetings, and old acquaintances will come to visit, so we can't get away. We'll go over in early autumn."
Grandpa Fu smiled and said, "I'm already thinking that summer will be over soon."
"It's too hot over there!" Old Madam Fu objected. "Everyone else goes north to escape the heat. If you go there in the summer, you'll go crazy from the heat!"
Grandpa Fu thought for a moment, then said, "We'll ask Meilan when the time comes if it's hot on the island. If it's not too hot, we'll go. If it's too hot, then forget it."
At this moment, when Mr. Xu looked down from his study on the second floor, he was surprised to see his old friend standing outside. Moreover, his back seemed to be straight, his waist was no longer bent, and his legs and feet had become more agile.
Mr. Xu saw his father standing by the window, leaning on his cane, and asked with a smile, "Dad, what are you looking at?"
Grandpa Xu patted his cold, slightly numb legs, his eyes filled with envy. "There's so much heating in the house, yet I still feel cold. But Old Fu and his wife are standing in the yard! Look how nimble they are. I don't remember them being much better off than me before!"
Mr. Xu smiled, followed his father's gaze, and said, "If you drink less alcohol, I guarantee you'll be in good health."
Old Master Xu was displeased. "I only drink a small cup of wine every day, while Old Fu drinks two ounces a day. How can you compare?"
Mr. Xu was both amused and exasperated. "Dad, you're already this old, why are you comparing yourself to Uncle Fu?"
"Of course we'll compare!" Old Master Xu said confidently. "What's the point of living if we don't compare ourselves to others?"
Mr. Xu shook his head, "You mustn't follow the Qian family's example."
“That’s different!” Old Master Xu retorted. “I compete fairly and squarely, while the Qian family prefers underhanded tactics. As it turns out, doing too many underhanded things does indeed cause problems with their family values.”
At this moment, Xu Feng brought in two cups of tea. "Grandpa, Dad, tea is served."
When Grandpa Xu saw his grandson arrive, his face lit up with kindness. "My eldest grandson is so filial! You have a day off today?"
Xu Feng smiled and said, "We're on holiday now. We've finalized contracts with two investors, and they've even paid a deposit. Once things thaw after the New Year, we can get started."
Grandpa Xu was even more satisfied. "Not bad, your trip wasn't in vain!"
Mr. Xu glanced at his son, a hint of pride in his eyes, "Any other gains?"
Xu Feng nodded, "It was very beneficial to be with many like-minded young people and to investigate the market in Shanghai! It seems that we need to further liberate our thinking, accelerate reforms, and increase our efforts in attracting investment in order to stimulate local economic development."
Mr. Xu nodded, then asked, "Wenwen suddenly ran off to Shenzhen. Could it be that she's going to cause trouble at the Liu family's place?"
Xu Feng was slightly taken aback. Facing his grandfather and father, he pondered for a moment, "Alas, it's no wonder Wenwen is so outstanding!"
"She really went?" Old Master Xu frowned. "Didn't I tell your aunt and uncle to keep an eye on Wenwen and not let her do anything reckless? Did she cause any trouble this time?"
Xu Feng smiled wryly, "There's no major trouble, just a little bit! But I've already apologized to the Liu family, so this matter is over and won't have any impact!"
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Xu asked, "What exactly did Wenwen do over there?"
Xu Feng sighed, "On the day of Liu Yibang's wedding, Wenwen arrived at the hotel entrance and happened to run into Liu Yibang's ex-girlfriend, Cao Yuanyuan. The two used to be good friends. Cao Yuanyuan wanted to go abroad, but Liu Yibang kept this idea to herself. Wenwen used various methods to tell Cao Yuanyuan about the advanced aspects of foreign countries, and then Cao Yuanyuan went abroad!"
"Not long after Cao Yuanyuan went abroad, Liu Yibang wrote her an email to break up with her! After she was sent to the countryside, Wenwen went after her, and Cao Yuanyuan also went there. There, Liu Yibang rejected them again! This time, the fight at the hotel entrance was probably because he was unwilling to accept it!"
After hearing Xu Feng's words, Grandpa Xu and Mr. Xu felt their faces burning with embarrassment; it was too shameful.
"Can't pick it up, can't put it down! How shameful!" Old Master Xu said with a dark face, "And then what did you do?"
Xu Feng replied, "I apologized to Liu Yibang, then took Wenwen away directly. We stayed at another hotel for the night, and the next morning I took Wenwen to my workplace. After I finished talking with the investors who came to inspect the place and made a summary, I took Wenwen back to Beijing."
Mr. Xu frowned. "Has Wenwen recovered yet?"
