Chapter 1163: The scene of growing old together is so touching.
Wu Fengdeng asked, puzzled, "Why? Is it because your sister Meilan has a bad reputation?"
Liu Yiwen shook his head, smiling smugly, "It's not that my credit is bad, it's that my credit is too good! During the Asian financial crisis, international speculative capital groups ran rampant in Asia, but finally backed down in Hong Kong, losing more than they gained! One of the operators was my sister!"
Even if Liu Yiwen didn't say anything, his maternal uncle could find out about it through other channels.
For example, when Liu Meilan applied for a visa, the other party refused to approve it at all. This shows how much some people hate her! After all, she lost a huge amount of money. Anyone or any organization would probably see her as a thorn in their side.
At this moment, Wu Fengnian was dumbfounded. He had a friend who worked in the financial industry and was employed by the international speculative capital organization that had stirred up trouble during the Asian financial crisis.
Back then, when they had already killed so many prey with their gaping maws and were about to enjoy a feast, someone took the opportunity to steal more than half of their prey.
Their financial organization still hasn't recovered.
Wu Fengnian confessed, "Yiwen, if it's really as you say, your sister had better not go abroad, not to America, and not to Europe! Since they were able to find out Meilan's identity, it's enough to prove that they have informants on your side!"
"In Western countries, this is tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth! Especially in a field they are proud of, it has severely damaged them, leaving them defeated and defeated. This matter will not end so easily!"
Liu Yiwen nodded with a smile, "That's why my sister never goes abroad! At most, she goes to Hong Kong Island, but since the Asian financial crisis, she doesn't go to Hong Kong Island anymore!"
Wu Fengdeng remained silent, listening intently to Liu Yiwen and his second brother's conversation, becoming even more curious about his aunt's large family back home.
The private jet was large enough and very comfortable inside. Medical staff were on hand to monitor the elderly person's condition, and the journey was quiet.
The plane landed at the airport in Shanghai, and Qin Zheng had already arranged for people to receive it.
Except for two Chinese medical staff who stayed behind, everyone else returned on the plane. They don't need to worry about these things.
Meanwhile, Professor Xie and Liu Meilan, along with their child, arrived in Shanghai.
Although the house has three floors, it only has six rooms, which are intended for my maternal grandparents and other elders.
Liu Meilan booked many rooms at a nearby five-star hotel, and the others stayed at the hotel, otherwise it would be too crowded!
After making the arrangements, Liu Meilan helped her maternal grandparents to the Wu family's old house.
Liu Meilan gently unlocked the door and pushed it open. Inside, there was a green lawn, a bluestone path, and lush flowers and plants, full of vitality.
Through the grass and trees, I could see a white three-story building.
Wu Songhua was overjoyed and held Liu Meilan's hand tightly. "It's so similar! It's so similar to what I remember! My photo doesn't show everything. Meilan, how did you do it!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "On the one hand, we reconstruct the scenes based on the photos. For those not shown in the photos, I paid some cultural relic restoration expert teams to search for information in Shanghai. Some information was based on text, some on pictures, and some on oral accounts from elderly people living nearby. We collected this information and then made reasonable reconstructions based on their inferences and judgments."
Although Liu Meilan spoke lightly, the money and effort she spent were by no means that simple.
Now it's all been worth it. Not only have we fulfilled my grandparents' wishes, but we've also found our relatives. It's a double blessing.
Although it was summer, Wu Songhua was thrilled to see the fireplace inside the house and, supported by her granddaughter, quickly walked over.
“Back then, in the winter, we especially loved to sit here, reading by the fire! The house was so warm and cozy! I remember one time, your great-aunt was being naughty and moved a corner of her blanket to the fireplace, which sparked and started a fire! Luckily, your great-uncle noticed it early, otherwise not only would people have been injured, but the house might have been destroyed!”
“The whole family dotes on Meihua. But that one time, everyone criticized her! I even spanked her. She cried so pitifully and said she would never talk to me again! She locked herself in her room, and when it was time for dinner, she came running downstairs, begging me to save her some good food! She had completely forgotten what I said at noon…”
Grandma seemed to be able to tell the story behind every single item in the house.
Mr. Xie saw the phonograph and many old films, tried putting them in, and to his surprise, they made a sound.
The melodious and enchanting singing instantly transported people back to the bustling Shanghai of decades ago.
Mr. Xie approached his wife with great gentlemanly manners and said, "Songhua, may I ask you to dance?"
When Wu Songhua saw her husband with his full head of white hair, as the music played, this wrinkled and white-haired husband seemed to transform back into that handsome young man in a sharp suit with jet-black hair.
They first met at the Wu family's dance party! He was standing here then, inviting her to dance.
Wu Songhua extended his hand, "Okay!"
Two elderly people with gray hair danced under the watchful eyes of their younger relatives.
Although their figures are no longer upright, their dance movements are slow, and sometimes they can't keep up with the rhythm, their hands clasped together never let go.
Seeing their elders like this, the younger generation once again felt the power of growing old together.
Xie Tianyi has made money over the years, but he's had affairs with other women, which has strained his marriage. Although it hasn't reached the elders' ears yet, it has definitely affected them.
The whole family came this time, including Xie Tianyi's wife, Yu Xiaomei. Seeing her grandparents still so loving at their age, and thinking about her own precarious marriage, she felt a mix of emotions.
If she and Xie Tianyi didn't have children, they would have broken up and gone their separate ways. But now that they have children, she can't act recklessly. Although she has a job, she can't let her two children live the kind of life they have now.
If they divorce, she can't have all the children. Each family will have one child, forcibly separating them. One will lose their father, the other their mother. And then, after remarriage, the family situation will be even more complex, and the children will face countless challenges and hardships in life.
Yu Xiaomei, with red eyes, covered her mouth and sobbed.
Everyone assumed Yu Xiaomei was moved by the affection between the two elders and smiled gently. Only Xie Tianyi knew why his wife Yu Xiaomei was crying, and for a moment he felt that he had been incredibly absurd.
He gently held Yu Xiaomei's hand and embraced his wife. When he was young, he knew that Yu Xiaomei liked to eat roasted chestnuts. After dark, he would run a long way to buy chestnuts, climb a tree in the middle of the night, and deliver the chestnuts to her through the second-floor window.
They were once truly in love, but the ordinariness of life and the increased temptations that came with wealth led them to lose themselves.
