Chapter 877: Send Off (2)

Su Nan nodded with teary eyes as she gave Xi Xiaye a final hug before boarding the plane.

Soon, the plane took off. Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye stood by their car as they watched it leave.

The airplane rose up quickly into the sky and turned into a small black dot in the end. Xi Xiaye remained there for a long while, seeming to be a little beside herself.

“Alright, let’s head back now.” The man’s voice reached her as he also put on a warm coat over her shoulders. “It’s getting cold out here.”

Xi Xiaye turned towards him and buttoned up the top button on his shirt. She looked at him for a while before asking, “Do you think Ruan Heng can really recover this time?”

Despite asking the question, she did not sound very confident. “It’s always at times like these that I feel the helplessness of being human. I can’t imagine if Ruan Heng continues being like this, or if his condition gets worse. How will Su Nan and Xiao Xi take it?”

“Don’t be so pessimistic. We tried our best and did what we could, so leave the rest to Ruan Heng. All of us hope for him to wake up as soon as possible,” Mu Yuchen replied.

Xi Xiaye took in a deep breath. “I understand. We’ll do our best. I hope Ruan Heng will get well soon.”

“Stop moping over it now. Let’s head back. They’ll call us once they arrive.” Mu Yuchen then went into the car with her.

It was a weekend. The two of them went to visit Xi Mushan and Shen Wenna after they left the airport.

It was near the graduation period and there was an upcoming debate competition as well. Xi Mushan and Shen Wenna were really busy. It had been two weeks since they last went back to the Shen residence, but fortunately, Shen Yue had Mu Zirui to accompany him.

It was lunchtime when they arrived at Shen Wenna’s apartment. Shen Wenna was still in the office with Little Apple, so only Xi Mushan was at home.

Overjoyed to see Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye, he made several dishes for them.

“Father, are you getting used to the life here?” Xi Xiaye asked Xi Mushan when she was washing the vegetables.

Xi Mishan looked much livelier than before. His serious-looking face seemed warmer compared to his past self.

“I’m pretty good. The pace in school is pretty slow after all. Unlike working in the government sector, it’s less stressful here, so don’t worry about us.”

Xi Mushan smiled as he turned towards Xi Xiaye. “Your mother and I will be retiring in a few years. Let us take care of your children by then.”

“We have people to look after the kids, so you don’t have to worry about us as well. Just spend some time with Grandpa whenever Mother and you are available. I’m preparing to take over Fuhua at the moment. Grandpa will probably feel lonely during the daytime when Xiao Rui goes to school in the morning.”

“We will. Your mother and I planned to go for a vacation abroad during this upcoming summer break. I heard from your mother that your grandpa has been longing for a vacation, but he never had the time to go. Well, there’s a chance now,” Xi Mushan said.

Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment. “Father, it’s not that Grandpa wants to go for a vacation abroad. It’s what Grandma wanted when she was still alive. She always longed for Grandpa to bring her to an such a vacation since she had never been out of the country before. However, Grandpa was always very busy, and when he finally got the time…”

The two of them became solemn for a moment.

“With the death of Grandfather, Grandmother, and CEO Wang, I truly feel the helplessness of humans. Our lives are too short. The time we spent at the house by the sea still felt like yesterday, and suddenly I’m all grown up now.” Xi Xiaye stopped her hand movements and just looked at Xi Mushan quietly.

“I know what you mean. Don’t fret. Your mother and I will cherish our time together now since we’ve wasted the past two decades. I hope our life in the future will be simple and happy.” Xi Mushan sighed, hesitating for a moment before continuing, “Xinyi came to speak to me a few days ago.”

Xi Xinyi…

Xi Xiaye found the name very distant.

Xi Xinyi, Han Yifeng…

“What did she want from you? Did she want you to persuade me again?” Xi Xiaye gave Xi Mushan a complicated gaze, then she looked downwards and continued washing the vegetables.

“It’s not that. She seems to have understood it already, but she doesn’t look very well. She really mistreated you before. I suppose what she’s experiencing now is all karma.”

“You don’t have to say that, Father. I understand… If she’s genuinely repenting, as her elder sister, I’d still give her a chance.”

“Thank you, Xiaye.”

…

Shen Wenna came back in time for lunch, still wearing a white lab coat. Xi Mushan took it off from her and hung it on the hanger before the four of them sat down together.

Shen Wenna remembered Su Nan’s mother’s words of gratitude as she told Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye,” I bumped into Su Nan’s mother and Xiao Xi on my way back. I got to know their situation from them. It must be a lot of work for you, Ah Chen. They told me to thank you again.”

“It’s just a little help. Xiaye’s friends are my friends too. Everything will be worth it if Ruan Heng regains consciousness,” Mu Yuchen said humbly.

Xi Xiaye glanced at him. She could feel a warm feeling flowing through her heart as she looked at his face.
