Chapter 366 Su Lixing Arrives in Beijing Safely
Three days later, in the early morning, the Su family set off together, with Jiang Zhiyu also in the group, and the whole group headed to the airport.
She stood outside the arrival hall exit, watching the automatic doors open and close repeatedly, feeling a little nervous. Only when her uncle's family emerged from inside, pushing their luggage cart, did she finally relax.
The first to rush forward were Su Jinglun and Shen Peiyu. The two elderly people were incredibly agile and ran very fast; Shen Peiyu's eyes were already red.
Watching from behind, Jiang Zhiyu couldn't help but tease, "Oh, Grandma, you've only been with your daughter for a few years, and you're so excited to see your son? Do you not like your daughter anymore?"
Shen Peiyu suppressed her excitement, turned around and patted her lightly: "You silly girl, you never forget to tease me."
"I was just trying to calm you and Grandpa down a bit, so your hearts wouldn't race too much."
Su Jinglun glanced at her sideways, then pulled Shen Peiyu's hand and walked in the direction his son had come out.
Watching them leave, Jiang Zhiyu touched her nose.
"Am I really that unpopular?"
"Host, you're quite self-aware!"
......
Su Wenbin saw his grandparents from a distance and excitedly started shouting.
Shen Peiyu and Su Jinglun readily agreed, tears welling in their eyes. After that commotion a while back, they had been on tenterhooks for months, fearing their son was trapped there and wouldn't be able to return. Now that they could truly see him standing before them, the weight on their hearts finally lifted.
Su Wenbin strode over and hugged Shen Peiyu tightly: "Grandma, I missed you so much!"
After letting go of her grandmother, she hugged Su Jinglun again: "Grandpa, I missed you too."
Su Jinglun patted his grandson on the shoulder, then turned to Zhou Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, are you tired?"
Zhou Xiaoman shook her head: "I'm not tired, Grandpa."
"That's good. Where are your parents?"
Zhou Xiaoman's eyes reddened: "They said they'd think about it. My brother and his team's careers are just starting out, they can't leave."
"That's good, that's good. Don't worry. Even back home, we won't mistreat you. Call your parents as soon as you get home to let them know you're safe, so they won't worry about you."
"Yes, Grandpa, I will."
Su Jinglun then looked at his son and daughter-in-law, beaming from ear to ear: "Good thing you're back! Good thing you're back. Come on, come on, let's go home. Your mother got up at five this morning to start preparing food for you. Hurry home, cleanse your system, from now on you'll have a Chinese stomach!"
Su Wenbin smiled broadly, a rare sight indeed: "This time, I'm going to really see if Grandma's cooking skills have improved in China."
"Okay, Grandma will make it for you. Let's go!"
......
The family was chatting happily when three military green jeeps were already parked outside.
Su Wenbin and Su Lixing looked at the military jeeps with obvious questions in their eyes, and then looked at Su Jinglun.
Su Jinglun waved his hand and gestured towards Jiang Zhiyu: "Look, that girl called them."
Jiang Zhiyu stood to the side, smiling calmly: "Let's go, don't worry about it, I borrowed it from another unit."
Su Wenbin quietly leaned closer and whispered, "Cousin, I remember the regulations in China are very strict. Isn't it strictly forbidden to use official vehicles for private purposes?"
Jiang Zhiyu laughed it off, smoothly changing the subject. Could she say that these vehicles were all provided to her by the government? It's just that she rarely uses them and they've been kept at the military base.
After everyone got into the car, Su Lixing noticed that all the drivers were in military uniforms. Sitting in the back seat, he secretly glanced at his niece, and had a feeling that her identity was probably more complex than he had imagined.
He had always thought she was just a mysterious special advisor who could represent the country in negotiations and secretly purchase supplies for it. But judging from the situation today, with bodyguards around her, her identity was probably much higher than he had imagined.
......
Along the way, the four newly returned people kept looking out the window, their eyes darting around as if they couldn't take it all in.
Su Wenbin leaned against the car window, his eyes welling up with tears. He was young when he left, but he could still remember things. Back then, where in China could you find a scene like this? Although it was still somewhat inferior to the US, this lively atmosphere was something you couldn't find on the streets of the US. Looking around, all he saw were Chinese faces, which made him feel exceptionally at ease.
Zhou Xiaoman was also apprehensive. Various negative rumors circulated within their Chinese community, and few people genuinely wanted to return. It was mostly the older generation, driven by homesickness, who were making the arrangements to go back. They had all grown up there and didn't have any particular feelings for China.
But when she actually came back, the streets were full of Chinese faces, and all she could see was Chinese. Steam rose from the roadside stalls, old men slowly walked by carrying birdcages, and children chased and played. She still felt a kind of indescribable warmth.
This sense of belonging is perhaps something she's born with. From the moment she was born, these genetic codes destined her to belong to this land.
......
When the car arrived at the gate of the compound, Su Lixing and his group got out of the car and looked up to see the beautiful courtyard house.
Su Wenbin reached out and touched the paint on the door frame, then looked up at the carved beams and painted pillars under the eaves, before turning to Jiang Zhiyu and asking, "Zhiyu, did you renovate this courtyard house?"
Jiang Zhiyu nodded: "I hired someone to do the renovations. What do you think? Isn't it beautiful? Much better looking than those foreign things, right?"
Zhou Xiaoman nodded repeatedly beside her, "It's so evocative. It seems that returning to China has awakened my aesthetic sense."
"Alright, alright, stop examining these buildings, let's go into the inner courtyard."
As they entered the courtyard, they were greeted by breathtaking scenery everywhere. The artificial hills, winding corridors, flower beds, and stone tables—every detail was meticulously crafted. Su Wenbin and Zhou Xiaoman felt overwhelmed by the sights, looking here and there, constantly exclaiming in admiration.
"It's beautiful, so beautiful!"
"Isn't this so sophisticated? Chinese aesthetics truly are the most sophisticated in the world."
The two walked and looked around, glancing at each other, both feeling the same way: coming back was the right decision.
......
It was already quite chilly, so the group headed straight for the restaurant.
Su Wenbin looked at the spacious Chinese restaurant, with a mahogany round table and carved chairs, ink paintings on the walls, and an old-fashioned palace lantern on the ceiling.
"Cousin, you're amazing! Such a big dining area."
Zhou Xiaoman's gaze was already fixed on the dishes on the table, especially the sizzling roast duck in the center. Her aunt had made it for her once when she visited the United States last time, and she still craved the taste.
"Alright, alright, stop looking and let's eat." Su Wanqing came out of the kitchen, smiling and inviting everyone to sit down.
Su Wenbin had been terrified on the plane and had little appetite the whole way. Now that he was finally on the ground, his appetite returned, and without saying a word, he buried his head in rice.
The meal was lively and cheerful. He Li and Shen Peiyu kept putting food into Su Wenbin and Zhou Xiaoman's bowls, while Su Jinglun and Su Lixing drank a few cups, their faces flushed.
......
After finishing her meal, Jiang Zhiyu put down her chopsticks and got straight to the point.
"Uncle, I have another courtyard house, about a kilometer from here. I was going to furnish it and let you live there, but my grandfather disagreed. He wants you all to live here together."
Su Jinglun chimed in, "Right, we're finally reunited, why live so far apart? Wanqing and her husband are always at work during the week, and that girl is elusive, we don't see her often. Wenhao is in Beian County. It's usually just your grandmother and me in this house. You've just gotten back, so stay with me for a while."
After saying that, he took a sip of water to moisten his throat. "As for your assets, we can deal with them slowly later. If you want to buy a house after a while, you can do so yourself. Buying a house now is also an investment. This is Kyoto, the capital of China. Land here will be incredibly valuable in the future, so buying a house is definitely necessary. But you can stay here for now."
Su Lixing nodded: "Okay, let's not rush. I still need to go to Hong Kong to take care of some things."
After saying that, he looked at his eldest son: "Wenbin, are you coming with me, or are you going to Bei'an County as your cousin suggested last time?"
Su Wenbin glanced at Zhou Xiaoman; the couple had clearly discussed it beforehand.
"Xiaoman and I discussed it that night; we'll go to Bei'an County first. I think the chances are better there. Besides, my cousin personally invited me, so I definitely have to go."
Jiang Zhiyu was secretly pleased, but didn't say anything. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call Shen Muyan tomorrow. I'll come over after you've had your fun here."
Then she looked at Zhou Xiaoman: "Sister-in-law, what about you? Do you want to go to the hospital, or do you have other plans?"
Zhou Xiaoman shook her head: "I don't want to go to the hospital anymore. I've had enough of it after all these years. I want to start my own business. I've noticed that the beauty industry in China hasn't really taken off yet. Over the years, I've learned a little bit about traditional Chinese medicine from my grandmother, and I want to pursue that career path."
Jiang Zhiyu nodded: "Then you and your cousin made the right choice going to Bei'an County. It will become a special economic zone in the future, and you're sure to succeed."
Zhou Xiaoman nodded excitedly, her eyes shining.
"Alright, now that you've arrived safely, I'll take my leave." Jiang Zhiyu stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "I'm going to see my little one now."
Upon hearing this, Su Lixing's eyes immediately lit up: "Bring them over so we can meet them!"
"Uncle, aren't you tired today? Go and rest. I'll bring them over tomorrow."
Jiang Suli thought to himself that he was tired and hadn't prepared a gift for the child, so it would be more appropriate to meet tomorrow.
"Okay, see you tomorrow. Remember to bring the child with you!"
"Okay, okay."
Jiang Zhiyu turned around gracefully, waved her hand, and left the courtyard.
