Chapter 364: Chapter 335 Letter, Surprise, Photo_1

If it had been before, Wang Shuping would have admonished her daughter, but not anymore.

Her daughter had grown up and had her own thoughts and ways of liking someone; as a mother, all she needed to do was to remind her not to lose herself. Everything else should be left to its natural course, to go with the flow.

Because that’s the way love is, uncontrollable!

If the object of affection was a decent man, why not let her daughter enjoy the sweetness of love?

"All right, as long as you know moderation, that’s fine," Wang Shuping said with a smile, "Now, stop thinking about it and rest. We have things to do tomorrow!"

"Mmm, going to sleep right away," He Tiantian quickly responded, having had no chance to talk today, but tomorrow she could.

He Tiantian entered dreamland with a smile at the corners of her mouth.

Inside her dream, it was all sweet and honeyed, with the sky filled with romantic pink bubbles.

Because of Huo Yingjie’s love, He Tiantian had completely abandoned the shadow of her previous life’s age and was enjoying this precious love to the fullest!

"Hehe!" He Tiantian laughed in her dream.

Shaking her head silently beside her sleeping daughter, Wang Shuping thought: when a girl grows up, she won’t stay by your side forever!

The next morning, Wang Shuping and He Tiantian got up early.

Huo Yingjie, Zhang Aijun, and Li Yunzhong, wearing shirts, had returned from their morning run.

Seeing this, He Tiantian quickly handed over a towel, saying, "Brother Yingjie, wipe off your sweat so you don’t catch a cold."

"It’s okay, I’m used to it. As long as I have time, I will exercise properly," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, having a healthy body is essential for working well and for a good future."

They busied themselves with preparing breakfast, and after they had eaten, Huo Yingjie asked Li Yunzhong and Zhang Aijun to leave because he had something to discuss with Third Grandma Qi.

Third Grandma Qi was smiling expectantly, thinking that Huo Yingjie was bringing her a secret gift.

"Brother Yingjie, what’s going on? You look so mysterious, and you even sent everyone away," He Tiantian asked quietly, puzzled.

"It’s a piece of great news!" Huo Yingjie laughed, pulling out an envelope.

On hearing this, He Tiantian widened her pretty eyes and asked, "What great news? I want to see."

He Tiantian’s eyes landed on the envelope in Huo Yingjie’s hand that read, "Mother, please open," in six handsome and powerful regular script characters.

"Is this..." He Tiantian had a hunch, "Could it be..."

Huo Yingjie nodded and approached Third Grandma Qi, saying, "Grandma Qi, please don’t get too excited. First I have to tell you it’s good news. You have to look after your health! So you can enjoy your blessings later!"

"Oh, I can take a good look now, to see what blessings I’ll have in the future!" Third Grandma Qi didn’t mind, thinking the two children were just playing with her!

However, her smile froze the moment her eyes landed on the words "Mother, please open" and she shakily took the letter Huo Yingjie handed to her.

Third Grandma Qi recognized it; this was the handwriting of her son, Qi Shuliang!

Was her son really not dead?

Could he actually still be alive?

He Tiantian was worried that Third Grandma Qi might get overly excited and fall ill; after all, she was of advanced age and could not afford even the slightest neglect.

"Grandma, grandma, this is good news, stay calm, take deep breaths, you are a blessed person, you must take good care of yourself!" He Tiantian reminded her, not wanting anything to happen to Third Grandma Qi.

It was only then that Third Grandma Qi came to her senses, patted He Tiantian’s hand, and looked at Huo Yingjie, asking, "Is it really my son? You are not just trying to make me, an old woman, happy, are you?"

"It’s true," Huo Yingjie smiled, "Grandma Qi, I’m not someone who lies. Last time you and Tiantian showed me some old photographs of you, I thought the man in them looked familiar, but I couldn’t place him at the time. It was only when I was about to leave that I remembered seeing someone who resembled the man in the photos at my cousin’s place. Considering the age, it was close enough, but I was worried about getting your hopes up, so I sneakily took a picture from your album."

"I see now," He Tiantian suddenly realized, "No wonder you wanted someone to come and take our photos, did you take grandma’s photo to show Uncle Shuliang?"

Huo Yingjie’s face showed a touch of embarrassment as he nodded and said, "Yes, I really wasn’t sure at the time, so I thought of this clumsy method. Fortunately, that person is Qi Shuli, although his name is now Qi Shuli."

"Grandma, look at the letter!" He Tiantian urged, as Third Grandma Qi received definite news that her son was alive, earlier than in her previous life.

But this was also good, as it meant that Third Grandma Qi could be happy for a longer time.

Third Grandma Qi opened the letter, which read: "To the greatest mother, your unfilial son Shuliang bows in respect. I hope mother will forgive your son’s unfilial ways, for not being able to fulfill my duties in front of you..."

The letter was filled with remorse towards his mother, as well as deep yearning!

Third Grandma Qi read while tears streamed down her face.

After a while, there were too many tears in her eyes, and everything seemed gray and hazy, blurring the letter.

He Tiantian quickly took a handkerchief to wipe away Third Grandma Qi’s tears, allowing her to finish reading the letter.

It took a while before Third Grandma Qi finally calmed down a bit.

"Grandma!" He Tiantian said softly, "You’ve had your cry, now is the time to smile, right? This is a happy occasion."

"Yes, I’m not crying anymore, it’s time for me to smile," Third Grandma Qi said, "I’ve said it before, as long as I know my son is still alive and well, I can go to my grave with a smile."

Huo Yingjie then took out another envelope and said, "Grandma Qi, not only is your son living well, but you also have a daughter-in-law from Country M, as well as grandchildren and granddaughters!"

Third Grandma Qi held the letter while He Tiantian took the second envelope handed over by Huo Yingjie, helping Third Grandma Qi open it and taking out three photos from inside.

The first photo was of a family of four.

The second photo was a solo portrait of Qi Shuli.

The third photo was of Qi Zhenghan and Qi Zhengmin together.

"Grandma, look, now you truly have a full house of children and grandchildren," He Tiantian said with a smile, "Congratulations, grandma! Joyous congratulations, grandma!"

Third Grandma Qi reached out to take a closer look at the photos, but retracted her hand because it was sticky with tears, then washed and dried her hands before taking the photos to examine them.

"The father and son do look very much alike," Third Grandma Qi remarked with emotion, "Shuli looks like my father when he was young... right, where did you say they are? This house doesn’t seem like it’s in Country H..."

"It’s not in Country H, it’s in Country M..." Huo Yingjie replied.

Hearing this, Third Grandma Qi felt somewhat disappointed and regretfully said, "Ah, that’s so far away, on the other side of the earth!"

"The other side isn’t that far!" He Tiantian said, "If you can’t take a plane, you can take a cruise, and you can get there quickly."

"Ay, it’s too far, I won’t be able to go," Third Grandma Qi lamented, "All I need is to know that my son is alive and well, that’s good enough for me."

Third Grandma Qi was aware of the chaotic state of the world and worried that her appearance might bring unwanted trouble to her son.!
