Chapter 848: Pingan
Chapter 848: Chapter 848: Pingan
Luo Yanqing knew his little wife was teasing him again, so his phoenix eyes flickered slightly, and he replied just as seriously, "Teased by you."
"..."
This blame... Kang Li didn’t know what to say, but Luo Yanqing laughed, "Lost for words, aren’t you?"
Kang Li remained silent.
Luo Yanqing asked, "Are you angry?"
"Do I have a reason to be?"
Kang Li’s sweet voice was steady, "Haven’t you heard that a prime minister’s belly can hold a ship?"
Luo Yanqing chuckled, "Glad you’re not angry."
Unexpectedly, Kang Li huffed, turned her head away, and looked out the car window, completely showing an attitude of not wanting to bother anymore.
Seeing this, Luo Yanqing couldn’t help but smile apologetically, "I was wrong, I shouldn’t have climbed up the ladder you gave me. Also, I’m petty, I’m narrow-minded, you’re generous, don’t hold it against me."
"Hmph!"
Kang Li, feeling proud, thought to herself: I’m just not going to pay you any attention, you little thing!
Luo Yanqing’s lips curved; he actually knew his wife wasn’t angry with him, she was just deliberately being playful! Looking at Kang Li, his gaze was indulgent and filled with tenderness, "In about five or six minutes, we’ll be at the two elder’s house."
Very wisely changing the subject to avoid embarrassing his little wife.
Kang Li said "Oh," as if giving the man some face.
Luo Yanqing smiled and said nothing more.
...
"Do you think all these years, Pingan is doing well overseas?"
Old Lady Yu leaned against the headboard, gazing out the window, looking forlorn, "I’ve been dreaming a lot about Yun’er lately. She’s still the same, with two braided pigtails hanging in front of her chest, wearing a student’s uniform, her eyes shining like stars when she sees me, smiling and asking: Sister, is our Pingan doing well?
To keep Yun’er from worrying, I said he is doing well, but even if I can deceive Yun’er, I can’t deceive myself! I don’t know how Pingan has been all these years..."
The rims of her eyes gradually became moist, and Old Lady Yu’s tone was full of bitterness, "He was forcibly taken abroad back then, with his temperament, how could he willingly submit? But given the situation at the time...
He couldn’t come back home at all, not to mention someone was watching him. If his father had another son overseas, seeing how stubborn he was, wanting to come back home with all his heart, would he be given up on?
If Pingan was truly abandoned, what would he do abroad? I don’t know any of this..."
Old Man Xiao was sitting on a chair beside her, he said, "Pingan was smart since he was a child. Even if the son-in-law had other children abroad, he would still like Pingan as he did when he was in the country. Moreover, Pingan is the eldest son, who is registered under your name, making him the legitimate eldest son. Just this alone, none of the son-in-law’s children born abroad could dare to lord it over Pingan."
Pausing for a moment, Old Man Xiao added, "Besides, the way Pingan was born, I believe the son-in-law would never forget that his whole life. If he dared to be unkind to Pingan, he wouldn’t forgive himself in his conscience."
"I failed Yun’er..."
The Yun’er mentioned by Old Lady Yu is her younger sister, named Yu Wanyun, eight years younger than her.
In early years, due to the successive deaths of their parents, the family’s only male member, Old Lady Yu’s brother, also left home to engage in his revolutionary cause. When Old Lady Yu was getting married, she couldn’t help but organize the family business, most of which was sold off, leaving only a few restaurants in major cities nationwide managed by loyal servants. After liberation, with negotiations by relevant government departments, the restaurants were transformed into public-private joint ventures, and then nationalized.
During this period, Old Lady Yu got married and, worrying about her younger sister living alone in the Yu family mansion, brought her sister to her husband’s family, raising her as if she were her own daughter.
