Wang Yunmei was delighted. “We can buy furniture now?”
Wu Shaoqi smiled and said, “Yes, the designer printed some photos of furniture styles and colors that match your house’s renovation style. He said that you should take this to the furniture store on Xiangjiang Road in Haicheng District to buy it. He said that there are more styles there, so it’s easy to buy suitable ones.”
“He also marked the sizes of some large appliances for you. For example, the built-in refrigerator in the kitchen. That hole he left is the basic size of a double-door refrigerator, which is common across various brands. Just choose what you like according to this size. It’s all on it. If I can understand it, so can you!”
As he spoke, Wu Shaoqi handed the document to Wang Yunmei.
Wang Yunmei blinked in surprise and whispered, “This designer is really considerate. He’s so meticulous?”
“That’s right!” Wu Shaoqi nodded in agreement. “He followed through the renovation process the entire time. He was afraid that the renovation master would renovate the house he designed wrongly, so he monitored it more carefully than me. I said that I would look for him for the renovation of my house. It doesn’t matter if I spend more money. Most importantly, he’s responsible!”
Jian Ai couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile. Bai Zhou had found this designer for her, so there was no need to say anything about his professionalism.
“Mom, since I’m free today, I’ll accompany you to shop?” Jian Ai asked.
Wang Yunmei was stunned for a moment before saying, “Today? There’s no need to be in such a hurry, right? I’m thinking about going over during the weekend?”
“This weekend?” Jian Ai smiled in embarrassment. “I can’t this weekend, Mom. I have something on this weekend, so I can’t accompany you. Besides, choosing furniture is a time-consuming job. You have to walk more, see more, and compare. It will take some time, so we should go since I’m free. We can exchange views too. Do you still expect my brother to accompany you?”
This weekend, Jian Ai promised Qinghuan that she would visit her at work. Qinghuan had called her a few times. Because she was recently out of town, she promised to visit her on the first weekend after she returned to China.
Wu Shaoqi nodded and said, “Xiao Ai is right. We have to choose the furniture one by one. It’s quite time-consuming. If you have time, look. I’ll keep an eye here!”
Wang Yunmei sighed and looked at Wu Shaoqi in embarrassment. “Old Wu, look. I even said that I would come over in the afternoon to accompany you. Isn’t it boring to keep watch here alone?”
“Haha…” Wu Shaoqi couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that. Then, he waved his hand indifferently. “Why are you standing on ceremony with me? Don’t worry about me. Wu Bi said that he would come over in the afternoon. I’ll wait for him. You go shopping!”
When she heard that Wu Bi was coming, Wang Yunmei’s eyes couldn’t help but light up. “Oh, Old Wu, is the hurdle between the two of you over? That’s good. Seeing that you can put down the past and live together again, I’m happy for you!”
At the mention of Wu Bi and Uncle Wu, everyone could not help but sigh. After so many years, Wu Bi had finally reconciled with himself and finally faced his father again.
Wu Shaoqi smiled in relief and nodded gently. He sighed and said, “That’s right. This has resolved the knot in my heart. Wu Bi said that he doesn’t blame me anymore for what happened a long time ago, but he couldn’t forgive himself for hating me back then. This child has been competing with himself all these years. As parents, how can we not forgive our children?”
“Wu Bi blames himself because he’s sensible. Besides, you can’t be blamed for what happened back then. You also escaped death. Wu Bi must have understood everything, which is why he hates himself for treating you like that back then. He hates himself for being insensible.” Wang Yunmei sighed and said, “In short, it’s a good thing to see the both of you reunited. We’re happy for you.”
Unexpectedly, as they were talking, Wu Bi arrived!
“Auntie Mei, Xiao Ai!”
As soon as he entered, he saw Wang Yunmei and Xiao Ai. Wu Bi instantly smiled.
“Brother Wu Bi!” Jian Ai quickly went forward to greet him.
Wu Bi looked at Jian Ai and reached out to stroke her head. He said in a relaxed tone, “I heard from Auntie Mei that you went abroad a few days ago? When did you come back?”
“I just came back yesterday. I went out to do something,” Jian Ai smiled.
It had been a long time since she had seen Brother Wu Bi. Both were still so naturally comfortable when they met. This was also the reason Jian Ai was willing to be close to Wu Bi.
“Son, did you drive?” Uncle Wu suddenly asked.
Wu Bi nodded. “Yes.”
Uncle Wu said, “That’s good. Send your Auntie Mei and Xiao Ai to the furniture store. They want to walk around and choose furniture.”
“Oh, no need. Wu Bi just stopped by. Let him rest for a while. We’ll go downstairs and take a taxi. It’s not far!” Wang Yunmei quickly rejected.
“Buy furniture?” When Wu Bi heard this, he couldn’t help but quickly say, “Dad, let’s go together? I think you should change the sofa at home. It’s so worn out!”
Uncle Wu lived alone before, so he raised an Alaskan to accompany him at home.
That dog had already chewed the sofa at home until it was unrecognizable. However, Uncle Wu had never changed it.
“It’s useless to change my sofa. Tutu will bite it to pieces again in two days. Don’t change it!” Uncle Wu smiled and waved his hand.
Wu Bi insisted, “Change to a linen one. It’s more firm and airy.”
When Wang Yunmei heard this, she also called out, “Old Wu, let’s go shopping together. It’s livelier with more people.”
Wu Shaoqi: “That won’t do. We have to keep watch here!”
“Oh, it’s already wrapped up. Besides, is there a need to monitor the renovation master? Nothing will go wrong if we look today. Let’s go!” Wang Yunmei said and reached out to pull Wu Shaoqi out.
Seeing this, Jian Ai couldn’t help but smile at Wu Bi. There was a deeper meaning in that smile. Jian Ai knew that Brother Wu Bi understood what she meant.
Perhaps her mother and Uncle Wu could try to get together. This was something Jian Ai had long thought about, but she still didn’t know their attitudes, so as a child, Jian Ai didn’t dare to rashly expose anything.
Society advocated free love. Jian Ai felt it was better for them to do this themselves.
“You disappeared for a while and didn’t contact me. Have you forgotten about me?” Wu Bi walked beside Jian Ai and smiled softly.
When Jian Ai heard this, she quickly denied it in embarrassment. “How could I forget my good brother? My feet haven’t touched the ground because I’ve been so busy. I even bought you a suit. I bought it a long time ago, but I didn’t find a chance to give it to you.”
“Oh, you even bought me a gift?” Wu Bi pretended to be surprised.
Jian Ai raised her eyebrows smugly. “That’s right. I thought of you when I was shopping. How could I have forgotten about you?”
