Chapter 230: Chapter 230 You’re too polite_1

After returning home, Xia Ningxing stepped out of the car holding Tuanzi and was immediately surrounded by her family, including Mrs. Xia and her grandmother. Everyone exchanged warm greetings and intimate conversation.

They had a welcoming meal at noon to celebrate her return.

At the dining table, Xia Jiehao raised his glass, once again thanking Lu Tingli, "Lu Tingli, we owe you a great deal this time. Without you, who knows when we could have found Tuanzi. Here’s a toast to you from Uncle Xia."

"Uncle Xia, you’re too kind," Lu Tingli replied as he stood up, opting to drink tea instead of alcohol.

Mrs. Cheng looked at Lu Tingli with great joy. She seemed to think of something, and she whispered to Mrs. Xia, "Lanzi, I think Lu Tingli and our Bao’er make a good match. Once they grow up, we can try to arrange their marriage and see if there’s a possibility for them to be together."

"If they really could be together, that would be wonderful. First, they are childhood sweethearts, and both families are well-acquainted and know each other very well," she added.

Mrs. Xia’s face changed color, feeling a twinge of sadness at the thought of her beloved daughter, raised with so much care, becoming part of another family: "Mom, can we not talk about this, please?"

The thought alone made her heart and liver ache with pain.

"Alright, alright, I won’t mention it," Mrs. Cheng said with a helpless look on her face.

After all, when the child grows up, can she really never leave home?

Then, Mrs. Xia changed the subject, seemingly recalling something that made her happy. She said with a smile to everyone, "I have some good news to share with you all. Fang Yuemei and the human traffickers were prosecuted yesterday, and they’ve been sentenced to death!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing and the others all displayed smiles on their faces.

"Those damned beasts got what they deserved!" Mrs. Cheng cursed.

Xia Jiehao lifted his glass again, "This is great news! Wonderful! I must drink another cup to celebrate!"

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but take a sip of the juice in front of her. Nothing was more satisfying than hearing about the downfall of evildoers.

After the meal, the grandmother and the uncles prepared to head home and started gathering their things.

Xia Ningxing, holding Tuanzi, went outside to the yard to breathe in the fresh air.

Her eldest brother was practicing swimming in the pool in the courtyard.

Walking over with Tuanzi in her arms, Xia Ningxing suddenly thought of something and asked with a smile, "Big brother, aren’t you taking part in the citywide swimming competition in a month?"

Ever since they settled in Capital City and her brother started school, he had also enrolled in a swimming interest class.

Especially in the last two years, the school had set up a swimming team in response to the government’s "middle school students’ anti-drowning training" initiative.

Her big brother was even the captain of the school’s swimming team.

Besides, at nineteen years of age, her big brother was already in his senior year of high school.

Her second and third brothers were in their junior year, while her fourth and fifth brothers were freshmen.

As for Xia Ningxing herself, she was only in eighth grade...

"Yes, the competition is in a month. If I can make it into the top ten, I might even be recommended to Capital Sports University," said her brother, his eyes filled with longing.

His biggest wish was to attend Sports University and become a national athlete, bringing glory to the country!

"Big brother, I believe in you, you can do it!" Xia Ningxing raised her little face and gave him a thumbs-up as a sign of encouragement.

Her brother trained hard and had the talent; he was rightfully pursuing this career.

So, Xia Ningxing felt that his recommended admission to Sports University was almost certain.

Under the moonlight, her brother’s eyes showed gentle warmth, "I’ll definitely do my best and live up to Bao’er’s expectations!"
