“What a coincidence! I don’t wish to see her hurt or sad either, so please get lost in this instance!”
Ji Ziming’s eyes became stormy like lightning hidden behind dark clouds as he looked at Gu Zhengrong who was at the bottom of the stairs.
“Alright, I’ll leave. If you find any traces of Xiaoyu, please do tell me. I only wish for her to be happy.”
This was the only truth in all his words.
If his girlfriend was really taken away by bad people, as her boyfriend, he would feel very guilty.
“I know; just leave.”
Pei Ge nodded. Her beautiful eyes showed skepticism regarding his earlier words.
“Sure.” His eyes lingered on her before silently leaving the hospital in his car.
Once the guy was gone, Joe patted his friend’s shoulder and said intriguingly, “I finally know why you cherish your wife so much. Anyone of the opposite s.e.x is easily attracted to her charms.”
“Don’t you want this hospital anymore?” Ji Ziming looked ruthless, his voice laced with impatience. If the other spoke another word, this hospital would experience a change in owners.h.i.+p the next day.
The latter tactfully shut up. Ever since his school days, other than a certain chemistry teacher whom he could not offend, this man was the one he feared the most. One was due to the presence of chemicals and the other was due to psychological factors. They were of different sorts of scary but had the same effect on him.
“I won’t say anymore, alright?”
Joe turned around and said to the security officers, “It’s been tiring for you guys, so you can go home now; nothing else should happen here today.”
The security officers left in an orderly manner. They were the force hired by him from a security company to ensure the safety in this hospital. They were also the ones who had captured that suspicious man earlier.
“Have you turned your father’s hospital into a training ground?” asked Ji Ziming.
“How’s that possible? How could they be compared to my army in the training grounds? They’re merely better than the average people.”
Joe was very humble, but in fact, this team could compete head on with that army he had mentioned.
The man did not point it out despite knowing it. He merely snorted and brought his woman back to Zhang Manhua’s house.
Indeed, his mother brought over their daughter the next morning. The couple was having the toast the woman’s mother had specially prepared for them. She even brought out the handmade jam, which was filled with the sweet and sourness of strawberries as well as the refres.h.i.+ng taste of lemons.
Ran Ran entered the house and saw her parents, as well as her two brothers, not looking surprised to see her. In fact, they merely lifted their heads and looked at her before continuing with their breakfast. It was like watching a show but quickly forgetting about the story as soon as it was over.
“Everyone.”
The girl acted pitiful as she leaned on the table while blinked her eyes at the four of them.
“Mhm? Our little princess is back?”
Pei Ge purposely acted cold toward her, but because of her pitiful look, she could not help softening her voice as she asked, “What’s wrong? Hasn’t our little princess had her breakfast yet?”
“My granddaughter and I already ate, so I had the chauffeur to send us here. She kept asking to play with her brothers, so we came here fast.”
Madam Ji walked in from the entrance, and because her granddaughter had run inside too fast, she could only close the door and enter following her.
“Mom, you’re here, too; have a seat.”
The man greeted his mother simply and pa.s.sed her a plate of bread with jam. The jam sandwich oozed with fluffiness as its sweet taste lingered on their taste buds.
“How’s it? I came here today to ask about Tang Xiaoyu’s matter.”
The older woman spoke frankly. They came to America because Pei Ge said that she was worried about her best friend, yet two days had pa.s.sed, and she still had not heard any progress. She could not help but suspect their motive for coming here.
At this moment, Zhang Manhua carried a plate of sunny side-ups from the kitchen. When she saw the new arrivals sitting at the table, she could not help but smile. “Madam Ji, you’re here, too. Why don’t you let me get two more pairs of chopsticks for you and Ran Ran?”
“No need; no need. I ate breakfast before coming here.”
The other hurriedly shook her head. She did not find her breakfast too cheap. In fact, this average-size house was full of familial warmth and gave this blissful feeling of reunion.
She finally understood why her son was unwilling to stay in their huge mansion. Indeed, this house was much more welcoming.
“What about you, my dear girl? Do you want an egg? I shall fry one for you, alright?”
Zhang Manhua cleaned her hands on her ap.r.o.n in a reserved manner as she kneeled to her granddaughter’s eye level and said excitedly, “I will cook your favorite dishes today, alright?”
“Really?”
The little girl’s eyes shone as she waved her hands excitedly at her grandmother.
“Grandma, I feel like eating eggs.”
She smiled shyly. Her tiny hands covered her face, leaving her eyes open to peer at her grandmother. Her lips curled as she acted cutesy. “Grandma, I want to eat the black egg that you cook with tea leaves.”
“That’s called tea-flavored eggs, my dear. Since you like to eat that, I will make more for you, alright?”
“Yay! I can have tea-flavored eggs for breakfast!”
She clapped her hands as her exclamation rang in the dining room like bells. Pei Ge’s eyes moistened without her noticing it while she watched her daughter. Back in this very house, when the girl was much younger, her life was hard.
Right now, she could act cute, exclaim in happiness, and even get angry at her parents out of spite. She had even thought it through and returned here to be their little princess.
“What else does Ran Ran want to eat? I will make them for you; your grandma here knows how to make anything.”
Zhang Manhua’s wrinkled eyes were filled with a rare touch of happiness while looking at her granddaughter.
