Chapter 67 Saving the Exploited Sister in a Modern Drama (End)
As soon as Mama Li heard her words, she immediately reacted and put away her excess sympathy. “You’re right! They deserve it!”
“Mom, instead of thinking about them, you’d better think about my sister,” Li Huairou said.
“Huaiyu? What happened to Huaiyu?” Mama Li immediately asked.
“Jiejie and Wang Zhao are in a relationship. Didn’t I tell you?” After Li Huairou finished speaking, she wasn’t sure—had she told them?
“What?!” Papa and Mama Li said loudly, standing up at the same time.
Li Huairou huddled at the corner of the sofa, looking very pitiful, weak and helpless. It seemed that she hadn’t told them. “My sister and Wang Zhao have confirmed their love relationship. I planned to tell you, but I forgot because of all the things that have happened.”
“Wang Zhao? Is that Huaiyu’s assistant? How old is he? Where does he come from? How is his family situation?” Mama Li immediately turned around in circles. “Lao Li, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and ask. That young man looks good—how is his character? Is his family easy to get along with?”
Papa Li immediately took out his cellphone and started making calls to ask around.
The final results: they concluded that Wang Zhao was a good person and his family situation was simple. His parents were both high-level intellectuals and reasonable people.
Papa and Mama Li were relieved.
“That’s not right. What did you mean about your sister’s matter?” Mama Li asked after sitting down and drinking a sip of tea.
“Wang Zhao asked me whether you want both you and his parents to meet for a meal and arrange their marriage along the way? My sister also said that their research is almost over, and they have half a month’s vacation. Take advantage of this time to arrange the marriage, so as not to delay the next stage of research. But according to my sister’s thinking, she’s reluctant because of the trouble of getting married,” Li Huairou said while stuffing a small cookie in her mouth.
“Then what are you waiting for! Hurry up!” Mama Li said immediately, patting her thigh. It wasn’t easy for Huaiyu to find a partner and get married. This couldn’t be better.
“No, what are you doing in such a hurry?” Papa Li felt a little uncomfortable. “Besides, shouldn’t this kind of thing be the initiative of the groom’s parents?”
“Yes, the groom’s parents have been very active, and they’ve made several calls. Didn’t you travel over the sea and didn’t come back? As long as you’re willing, they’ll come to our door tomorrow,” Li Huairou said.
“Yes! Have them quickly set a time and discuss and settle this matter!” Mama Li said rapidly, fearing that too much delay would bring trouble.
“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t urge them to get married?” Papa Li complained.
“What do you know! Isn’t it rare for Huaiyu to find a like-minded boyfriend?” Mama Li glared at Papa Li.
Papa Li felt very uncomfortable, so he leaned on the sofa to shut himself up.
Seeing this, Li Huairou put her arms around Papa Li’s arm. “Don’t worry, Dad. I’m not going to get married; I’ll accompany you all the time!”
“Still my Huairou!” Papa Li rubbed Li Huairou’s hair and said with a smile.
Mama Li rolled her eyes at the father and daughter. “Hurry up!”
“Oh!” Li Huairou sat up straight, took out her phone, and sent Wang Zhao a WeChat message. It was just the two words “OK”.
In the next second, Papa Li’s cellphone rang. Papa Li saw that the caller ID was an unfamiliar number, and he immediately knew who was calling. He didn’t want to answer it, so he handed the phone to Mama Li.
Mama Li took over the phone. As soon as she heard a woman’s voice on the other end, the phone changed hands immediately. The two mothers chatted intensely on the phone, almost deciding the wedding date.
Papa Li frowned and was in a gloomy mood.
The parents on both sides met soon, directly skipping over the two children who were in the laboratory. They quickly finalized the wedding date and arranged everything. Li Huaiyu and Wang Zhao didn’t need to worry about anything, as long as they were present when the time came.
When they parted, Mama Wang grabbed Mama Li’s hand and said sincerely, “My in-law, you have a good daughter. If it wasn’t for Huaiyu, my Wang Zhao would probably be single for the rest of his life!”
Mama Li also had the same feelings. The more they talked, the more they felt that Wang Zhao and Li Huaiyu were a natural pair. It was a perfect match, wasn’t it?
Just as Mama Li was busy preparing for the wedding, Qin Fang called. Maybe it was because of embarrassment, but Qin Fang hesitated on the phone for a long time without saying anything.
Mama Li became impatient. “Qin Fang, if you have something to say, you can say it. I’m busy. Well, Huaiyu is getting married, and she’s busy, so I have to be the one to prepare her dowry, wedding preparations, etc.”
Qin Fang heard that Li Huaiyu wanted to get married, and she had mixed emotions. “Huaiyu is going to get married? So soon?”
“Yes, and the groom is from her laboratory. The two have known each other for many years and share the same goals. Both us and his parents hope that they will settle the marriage sooner rather than later. They’re busy, so we have to help. By the way, what are you looking for from me?” said Mama Li.
Qin Fang was now in no mood for this at all, and after a few perfunctory words, she hastily hung up the phone.
Although Zhao Lanxin’s matter was raging, Qin Fang believed that the Li family should also know about it. Qin Fang had made this call, originally wanting to explain and save her relationship on the way. Then she could really sell her pitiful situation. She knew that Shu Lan was soft-hearted. But now, she felt that it was unnecessary.
Recalling what had happened during this time, Qin Fang felt that she was a big joke. Perhaps she’d long been a joke in the eyes of others.
It was just that she couldn’t care about these things now; she had more important things to do.
Qin Fang made a phone call, arranged everything, and prepared to go back to the United States with Zuo Zheng.
Although Zhao Lanxin had swept away most of her property, she was not left with nothing. The only thing that mattered now was her and Zuo Zheng’s health problems. In exchange, Zhao Lanxin had taken her things and wanted to leave! She truly thought beautifully!
Perhaps it was this belief that supported her, but Qin Fang’s recovery was obviously much better than Zuo Zheng’s. After Zuo Zheng learned what Zhao Lanxin had done, he couldn’t accept the blow, and he was completely lost. Fortunately, his current situation required rest, so Qin Fang let him be.
In fact, Qin Fang disliked Zuo Zheng’s decadence, but after this incident, she’d already given up on this son of hers. She should have understood long ago that this son had been raised uselessly by his mother-in-law. He seemed fine on the surface, but when something happened, he became a useless person!
Qin Fang and Zuo Zheng quickly returned to the United States.
When Mama Li found out, she was a little embarrassed, but her attention was immediately diverted by Li Huairou because she was looking at wedding dresses.
Because Li Huaiyu was not free, and Li Huaiyu’s figure was similar to that of Li Huairou’s, looking at and trying on the wedding dresses became Li Huairou’s business.
In the past few days, Li Huairou had tried on dozens of wedding dresses, and now she was traumatized when she saw wedding dresses.
In the end, Mama Li and Mama Wang finally chose a satisfactory wedding dress.
Li Huairou was on her bed, stunned. Marriage was indeed the most troublesome thing in the world—nothing could compare! It was the right thing to insist on not getting married!
“Huairou, come down quickly and see which one we should choose from this wedding candy box?” Mama Li’s voice rang out.
Li Huairou rolled on the bed. “Coming!”
After a month of preparations, the wedding was finally held as scheduled.
Li Huaiyu was wearing a white wedding dress, sitting and letting the makeup artist apply makeup to her face. Her eyes were open; she didn’t know what she was thinking.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. “Paper and pen.” Li Huairou hurriedly handed it over. Li Huaiyu quickly wrote something down on the paper, then raised her head excitedly. “Wang Zhao, I…”
However, what she saw was Li Huairou’s helpless smile.
“Jie, hold on for a while. At most, in half an hour, after the wedding is over, you and my brother-in-law can discuss it again, alright?” Li Huairou said with a sigh.
“It takes half an hour?” Li Huaiyu’s eyes widened. “If I’d known marriage would be so troublesome, I wouldn’t be getting married.”
Wang Zhao, who was pushing the door open, was dumbfounded when he heard this. His obsession with scientific research was slightly better than Li Huaiyu’s; although he also felt that he was wasting time, he might be very happy with marrying someone he liked. “Huaiyu, I had an idea just now.”
Li Huaiyu’s eyes lit up when he saw him. “Exactly, so do I. Come.”
Then Li Huairou went with the makeup artist and watched the two get together while writing and drawing on the paper, speaking the words they could not understand at all.
Until Mama Wang came over and took Wang Zhao away.
After the wedding, Li Huaiyu and Wang Zhao went directly to the laboratory. They had new ideas and had to put them into practice immediately. Honeymoon or whatever, experiments were more important.
Although they’d known for a long time that they might not go on their honeymoon, the Li and Wang families had arranged a honeymoon trip for them based on the principle of perfection.
But the two didn’t go.
Papa and Mama Li had just gone abroad to have fun and didn’t want to go anymore. Papa and Mama Wang couldn’t leave because of work. In the end, Li Huairou went.
When Li Huairou saw a familiar person on the island, she immediately took out cellphone to take a picture, then sent it to Qin Fang, and she shared the location to boot.
“Auntie, this person looks familiar to me. Is it the nurse who took away your money?” Li Huairou made a voice.
Qin Fang quickly replied, “Huairou, Auntie thanks you!”
Li Huairou threw the phone aside with a smile and basked in the sun with her eyes closed. Although she couldn’t see it, it was fun to think about a dog biting another dog or something.
Li Huairou unscrupulously played around for two months before returning to China at the urging of Papa Li.
As soon as she returned home, she found out that her sister was pregnant.
Li Huairou looked at Wang Zhao with admiration in her eyes. While indulging in scientific research, he did not forget the great event of human reproduction. This was very efficient!
After the pregnancy, Li Huaiyu became the heart of the family and was taken care of in every possible way. Everything was fine, except that she was a little unhappy about being banned from the laboratory after only six months of pregnancy. She was carrying an angel baby in her belly, a baby who didn’t make her mother suffer too much during the whole pregnancy.
When she came out, it went smoothly, without making her mother suffer too much.
Li Huaiyu gave birth to a girl, and the two families were very happy. Wang Zhao was the same. At the same time, he quietly did a big thing—after Li Huaiyu gave birth, he went to the hospital for a ligation operation at the same time.
After Papa Wang and Mama Wang found out, although they were angry, they had no reason to blame their son. Besides, the granddaughter was so cute.
Regarding the upbringing of the third generation, the Li and Wang family had some headaches. Although geniuses were good, one was enough; having another one was unbearable.
So Li Huairou looked at her niece in her arms with a look of resentment. “Why?!”
Li Huaiyu and Wang Zhao apologized. “But, other than you, no one else has time! Thank you for your hard work, Huairou. When Lele grows up in the future and you’re old, let her be filial to you! I have something to do in the lab, so I’ll go first!”
Then he left in a hurry.
In the shopping mall, Sun Xiaomeng was pushing a stroller, and when she saw Li Huairou who was pushing the same kind of stroller with a depressed face, she couldn’t help laughing, “You have it today too! Let’s see you laugh at me! Hahahaha!”
The laughter was so loud that it woke up the two ancestors. Suddenly, the two were in a hurry, each holding their children and coaxing them. But it was useless; they had no choice but to call for help.
[Zu zong (祖宗) literally means “ancestor”. Here it can mean someone who gives you a headache]
Qin Chuan put down his documents to be approved and hurriedly drove over. He skillfully changed the diapers and brewed milk powder. After the two ancestors fell asleep, he looked at the two dejected people in front of him and said, “If you go out in the future, let’s take Auntie with you!”
Sun Xiaomeng nodded aggrievedly. She’d forgotten; she was so anxious that she’d called Qin Chuan directly.
Li Huairou proudly made a face at her.
Qin Chuan looked at her. “I think the chairman is in good health.” There was no problem for him to work for another ten years. There was really no need to hand over the company to him so early.
“Qin Chuan-ge, go ahead. I’ve already called the auntie to come over. Don’t worry, it’s definitely fine,” Li Huairou said quickly.
Qin Chuan sighed, resigned, and drove back.
After getting tossed around for a long time, Li Huairou and Sun Xiaomeng were all hungry and went to the nearby Haidilao. The staff helped to watch the children. The two of them could finally have a quiet meal and exchange their experiences with children along the way.
When the aunties arrived, the two let go of their hands and started shopping to relieve their depressed mood.
But when they came out of the mall, the two discovered that their most-purchased items were actually baby products.
Sun Xiaomeng was better, but Li Huairou was very depressed when she found out that she’d been assimilated. Her rich second-generation career of eating, drinking, shopping, shopping, and shopping—why did it end like this?!
But when the little ancestor showed her a toothless smile, although Li Huairou disliked it, she gently wiped her saliva away and took a picture with her cellphone.
“Hmph, if you treat your aunt badly when you grow up, your aunt will put these videos on the biggest advertising screen for everyone to see!”
Li Huairou pinched her niece’s chubby cheeks and squeezed again.
Until she couldn’t control her strength, and the little ancestor burst into tears, and there was another burst of chickens flying and dogs jumping!
[The idiom explains that the chickens are scared to fly, and the dogs are scared to jump around, referring to panic]
It was a great day, with a lot of fun!
