Feeling his father’s hug with all his might and his trembling shoulders, Wu Bi felt very tormented and regretful.
He reached out his arm and hugged his father tightly. He muttered, “Dad, I’m sorry!”
He had already said this apology in his heart for many years. Now that he had finally reconciled with himself, who had walked into a dead end, he finally said these words to his father.
Wu Shaoqi patted Wu Bi’s back hard. “It’s good that you’re back!”
The morning sun was warm but not hot. On the rattan seat outside the shop, Wu Shaoqi and Wu Bi sat opposite each other. Liangzi brewed a pot of tea and brought it over. “Uncle, talk to Brother first. Leave the work inside to me.”
With that, Liangzi smiled and entered the shop to continue working, leaving space for the father and son, who had reunited after a long time.
The two of them tacitly did not mention the past. They did not even care about the situation between them over the years. It was as if this moment was a new starting point. The two of them only wanted to start over.
Moreover, Wu Shaoqi had received a lot of news about Wu Bi from Liangzi over the years. Wu Bi was naturally aware of his father’s life as well, so the two of them did not have so many questions in their hearts.
Wu Bi looked at the surrounding environment and sighed with a smile. “This place is quite good. I see it’s surrounded by neighborhoods.”
“That’s right. When I knew South City was going to be demolished, I started looking for a house. I looked at a few places and liked this place the most.” Wu Shaoqi smiled and said, “I even bought a few other houses. Their values have increased now.”
As he spoke, Wu Shaoqi said, “Do you have anything on today? Stay for lunch. Dad will make you something you like.”
Wu Bi smiled and nodded. “Sure!”
Seeing this, Wu Shaoqi was delighted. Looking at his son, he felt it was unreal.
After not seeing him for many years, Wu Bi’s appearance had already lost the childishness of his youth, but his outline had changed little. He was still as handsome as before. However, he was taller and stronger, and he looked much more stable and mature.
“I was going to supervise Auntie Mei’s new house today, but I’ll let her know that I’m not going today,” Wu Shaoqi said and wanted to go into the house to make a call.
Unexpectedly, Wu Bi stopped him. “Dad, I’ll go with you. I haven’t seen Auntie Mei in a long time. I miss her too. Let’s eat together at noon, then you cook at night.”
Wu Shaoqi was stunned for a moment before nodding quickly. “Alright, your Auntie Mei will be happy to see you. I’ll pack up and go over.”
Jian Ai’s new house has been in renovation for more than half a year. Because it was a big house with two floors, it was relatively time-consuming. However, the effects were beginning to show. If they speed up the progress, they should be able to complete it in two months.
Wu Shaoqi knew that Wang Yunmei was in the hospital for a surgery, so after they discharged Wang Yunmei, Wu Shaoqi took over by supervising the renovation of the house. He was mainly afraid that the air in the house was not good and would hurt Wang Yunmei’s body.
However, Wang Yunmei didn’t completely ignore it. She still came over every day when she had time, but she didn’t stay in the house most of the time.
When Wu Shaoqi and Wu Bi arrived at the new house, the renovation master had already been working for two hours. Wang Yunmei was still not here.
