“All right, I promise you!” Ouyang Qing nodded as he tried to hold back his tears. “I’ll do my best to protect Helian’s power.”
“Thank you! Thank you so much!”
“You haven’t greeted my wife yet, right? She will be glad to see you alive and well too! Come, I’ll bring you to her.”
Jing Ruyue was led to the living room where she met with Ren Meixin.
“Wait… Am I seeing things?”
Ren Meixin was stunned for a long time, unable to believe who she was seeing.
“No, she’s real! She’s Xiao Yue! She’s still alive!” Ouyang Qing exclaimed.
“Oh, my god! It’s really you! You really are still alive!” Ren Meixin ran forward and hugged Jing Ruyue.
A lot had changed after they were separated for more than 20 years, and they had a lot to catch up on.
After hearing Jing Ruyue’s story, Ren Meixin was enraged by it.
“That bastard, Mo Xie!” ren Meixin scolded.
“Let’s talk about something else. I met a cute girl on my way in, is she your daughter?”
“Yes, Feifei,” Ren Meixin nodded. “I know you have one too, Jing Xi. I saw her on the television on several occasions.”
“Yes, she came with me today.”
Just as they were talking about their daughters, Xu Xiyan and Ouyang Feifei walked into the living room.
They quickly became friends while talking about Jun Yan. Ouyang Feifei looked upon Xu Xiyan as her own sister.
“Jing Xi is prettier than what I saw on TV,” Ren Meixin complimented.
“I think Feifei is much prettier.”
“Look at them, they are already best friends now.”
“Just like we used to be.”
Xu Xiyan finally got the chance to introduce herself to the Ouyang family instead of Jun Yan.
They had lunch at the Guangming Residence before going back. Ouyang Qing was about to have his personal driver send them back, but Xu Xiyan declined politely.
“Thank you, but we brought our own car. Thank you for lunch,” Xu Xiyan said.
“Feel free to come over anytime,” Ouyang Qing smiled.
“Don’t forget about our promise!” Ouyang Feifei reminded.
“I won’t,” Xu Xiyan smiled.
After saying their goodbyes, Xu Xiyan drove Jing Ruyue back to the hospital.
“What promise did you make?” Jing Ruyue asked.
“I promised to get her a handsome boyfriend,” Xu Xiyan smiled. “Did you get what you wanted from Uncle Ouyang?”
“Yes. He promised me that he’d make the right choices in critical times; he gave me his word.”
Even though Jing Ruyue was not sure whether Ouyang Qing’s decision could keep the Helian family in power, that was all that she could do for Helian Wei.
…
A huge change occurred just after one night.
The meeting, which was scheduled for three days later, was forwarded two days.
The parliament attended the meeting but everyone was unsure why the date had been changed.
