Chapter 384: 357 If one day I let you down, my brother_3

"You know my son?" Zhang Dacai was somewhat surprised, oh my goodness, his son really was famous in the county, even a hospital janitor knew of him.

"Your son is so rich, why are you still here hogging a bed in the hospital? I’m telling you, if you keep littering, I’ll report you to our director and have you thrown out."

"It’s all because of that damn girl Su Xiaofeng. Two friends from the Imperial Capital forced me, with guns in their hands, to write a letter severing ties with Pengzi. If it weren’t for that, would Pengzi not recognize me, would I have to come to the hospital to sleep?" Thinking of this made Zhang Dacai angry: "So what if they’re from the Imperial Capital, what’s there to show off about. If they didn’t have guns, I wouldn’t be scared of them."

Whether the guns were real or not wasn’t important; what mattered was that the other party had them.

"Uncle, you said they had it. Who are they, and what did they do to you?" Lin Jing suddenly became nicer to Zhang Dacai.

"They seemed to be relatives of Su Xiaofeng’s man, fierce one by one, not easy to provoke," Zhang Dacai thought and felt indignant again.

"From what you’re saying, Xiaofeng’s man is not only from the Imperial Capital, but his relatives can also carry guns out and about, is that what you mean?"

"That’s right, if it weren’t for that, how could Su Xiaofeng be so arrogant?"

People from the Imperial Capital, able to carry guns.

Combining these two pieces of information, Lin Jing could conclude that Ye Cheng’s family was probably not ordinary.

Thinking of this, she felt somewhat displeased. Su Xiaofeng, oh Su Xiaofeng, your luck really is good, to have casually married someone, not expecting them to be quite capable.

...

All the way until the end of the year, Xiaofeng had not received a call from Ye Cheng, nor had Xiaofeng called Ye Cheng.

On New Year’s Eve morning, Wu Yifan and Ershun came over early with lots of gifts.

"Let’s have lunch here; we’ve stewed a duck for noon," He Ximei invited both to stay for lunch.

"Sure, we came here for a feast," Ershun said as he sat down in the living room and began eating the New Year’s goods prepared by He Ximei.

"Where’s Xiaofeng?" Wu Yifan looked around and did not see Xiaofeng.

"She’s gone shopping with Pengzi. They said they were going to buy two new outfits for Erbao," He Ximei poured tea for the two: "Yifan seems more and more spirited."

"Not really, same old, same old."

Wu Yifan had recently gained some weight, not looking as dreadful as before, and without close observation, he appeared quite normal.

"You’re not getting any younger; isn’t your family anxious to find you a bride?"

"These things can’t be rushed," Wu Yifan said with a smile: "Like Xiaofeng and Ye Cheng, when two people are interested, it naturally leads to marriage."

"That’s true," He Ximei replied with a smile: "After the Spring Festival, Xiaofeng is going to visit her in-laws for the first time, and as her mother, I’m really a bit nervous."

"She’s going back to her in-laws’ house? When?" Wu Yifan was quite surprised to hear this news.

"Not sure yet."

In the midst of their conversation, Xiaofeng and Su Peng returned, each carrying a basket with Dabao and Erbao sleeping inside.

Xiaofeng managed to register both of them before New Year’s, so Erbao would have a registry too, no longer an unregistered baby.

"Ershun and Yifan are here," Xiaofeng said with a smile upon seeing the guests in the living room.

"In this freezing weather, why would you take them out?" Wu Yifan stood up to approach the basket in Xiaofeng’s hands.

"To let them feel the atmosphere of the New Year."

"With fireworks going off nonstop outside, just don’t scare them," Guaizi came out from the kitchen: "When you were little, you were terrified of fireworks. As soon as they went off, you’d cry your heart out, beyond comforting."

"Dad," Xiaofeng chuckled: "These two are not like me, not scared at all, look at the eldest, he’s opening his eyes watching us."

"You were timid as a child, which wasn’t like you at all."

"I heard from Auntie that you are going back to your in-laws’ after the New Year, have you set a date yet?" Wu Yifan asked Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng looked into Wu Yifan’s face which resembled that of her own younger brother, and every time she saw him, she couldn’t help but treat him as her own kin.

"Not yet, I’m waiting for Ye Cheng’s notice. Once Ye Cheng has everything ready over there, he will let me know to come over." Xiaofeng was now uncertain if Ye Cheng would actually let her come over.

"I’ll go with you when the time comes, I happen to be going to Haicheng for a month-long training. It’s better to have company on the road." He had been hesitant about going for the training, but now that Xiaofeng mentioned going to Haicheng, he had suddenly made up his mind.

"I might not be able to go to Haicheng." Xiaofeng smiled, "Ye Cheng is currently in the Imperial Capital treating someone, and he wants me to go there."

"Didn’t he say he was from Haicheng? Why did he go to the Imperial Capital?"

"He is a doctor, naturally, the world is his home."

"Sister-in-law, why did my brother Ye Cheng run off to the Imperial Capital, it’s quite a distance." Wu Ershun frowned, "My brother Ye Cheng is really something, how he treats patients all over the place."

"Master Liu can’t stay idle, and he has no choice. But to be honest, he might not even go, after all, Master Liu and Ye Cheng’s plans can change at a moment’s notice." Last time Xiaonian was able to say those words, it indicated that something must have happened to Ye Cheng in the Imperial Capital.

"Sister-in-law, I’m starting to feel some sympathy for you, how did you marry into a family like Cheng’s, with no fixed abode." Wu Ershun sighed lightly.

"Didn’t you say before that it was my good fortune?"

"Half right, half wrong."

"Just your poor talk."

...

On New Year’s Eve, after the family had their dinner and set off firecrackers, Xiaofeng put Erbao to sleep early, and the family began to sit in the living room and watch the New Year’s Gala, waiting for the arrival of midnight.

This year’s gala was much more splendid than in previous years, and the family watched it with joy and laughter.

Just after eleven o’clock, the gate suddenly made a noise.

"Who could it be on New Year’s Eve?" Su Peng stood up, puzzled as to who it could be.

"Perhaps a neighbor."

When Su Peng opened the gate and saw the person outside, he was startled, "Ye Cheng?"

"Pengzi, who is it?" Guaizi called out.

Su Peng didn’t reply, he just stood at the door, locking eyes with Ye Cheng.

"Big brother." Ye Cheng’s face was weary, and his beard had grown out quite scruffy, "Let me in first."

Seeing Ye Cheng, who had suddenly appeared at their home, Guaizi was taken aback, He Ximei was taken aback, and Xiaofeng was equally shocked.

Wasn’t Ye Cheng supposed to be in the Imperial Capital at this time? What brought him here?

"Ye Cheng, why are you here?" Xiaofeng, seeing Ye Cheng who seemed notably older, felt a sudden pang of heartache. Something must have happened in the Imperial Capital recently; otherwise, why would Ye Cheng look so exhausted?

"Ye Cheng, have you not eaten? I’ll cook something for you." He Ximei looked at Ye Cheng’s state, sighing inwardly at how the child must have foregone rest just to make it home for the family dinner.

"Mom, I am indeed a bit hungry, sorry for the trouble of making something for me."

"Alright, just wait a bit, I’ll go now." Before heading to the kitchen, she also called Guaizi away.

"You should take a shower first." Xiaofeng looked at him, wanting to ask many questions, but the words that came out were simply this one sentence.

But Ye Cheng suddenly embraced her, hugging her very tightly, as if he was embracing her with his life.
