Chapter 435 What will it take for you to return my little daddy to me?
The Volkswagen CC drove steadily into the gate of Jinyang Villa, and the wheels rolled over the ground, making a slight rustling sound. The lights in the villa shone through the dense green plants, dotted on the driveway.
Youyou sat in the car, looking at the magnificent building in front of her, her heart full of curiosity, and couldn't help asking: "Uncle Guo, shouldn't we go back to the Red Star Community?"
There was a flicker of doubt in her eyes. In her memory, Hongxing Community was the home full of warm memories.
Mu Xiaoji sat beside her, his face straightened slightly, his expression became a little solemn, and he explained patiently:
"This place is closer to Renxin Hospital and more convenient for work, so we all live here now."
His voice was calm and gentle, as if to soothe Youyou's doubts. Youyou nodded and said softly, "Oh," and then followed Mu Xiaoji to open the car door and get out.
As soon as she stepped out of the car, Youyou was shocked by the huge Jinyang Villa in front of her.
Under the moonlight, the outline of the villa appears particularly magnificent, with exquisitely carved railings, spacious terraces, and every detail showing its extraordinaryness.
Youyou couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother Xiaoji, this villa must have cost a lot of money, right?"
There was a hint of amazement in her voice and her eyes were full of curiosity about this luxurious residence.
Mu Xiaoji smiled and nodded, stretched out his arm, gently hugged Youyou's shoulders, and said with concern:
"Youyou, let's go in and talk slowly. It's windy outside, be careful not to catch a cold." After saying that, he walked straight to the door.
Youyou also held Coleweiler's hand, and the three of them walked towards the villa gate together. Coleweiler always had a gentle smile on his face, and his hand was held tightly by Youyou, as if conveying peace of mind and companionship.
Jiang Shuo was sitting in the passenger seat, and he couldn't wait any longer. As soon as the car stopped, he quickly unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door, jumped out, and ran towards the door like an agile deer.
He skillfully pressed his fingerprint on the fingerprint lock, and with a "beep" sound, the door slowly opened.
He rushed into the house, and before the family members in the living room could react, his figure disappeared at the stairs, leaving only a series of hurried footsteps.
Mu Xiaoji walked into the hall holding Youyou and Keleweiler's hands, and the lights instantly illuminated their figures.
Mu Huiying was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When she heard the noise, she raised her head and her eyes fell on Youyou. She was stunned at first, and then shouted in surprise:
"Youyou? Youyou is back? You are the homeroom teacher." Her voice was full of surprise and excitement, and tears were flashing in her eyes.
Mu Huiying walked quickly forward and hugged Youyou tightly, as if she wanted to put all her longing for her over the years into this hug.
Kelaiweiler looked at this heartwarming scene and praised happily: "Mother Mu, you have a really good memory. I am very happy that you can remember me."
Although his Chinese has a foreign accent, every word is full of sincerity.
Mu Huiying let go of Youyou, took her hand, and greeted Kelaiweiler enthusiastically, "Young man, please come in, let's sit down and chat."
"Thank you, Mom Mu!" Colewell responded politely with a warm smile on his face.
At this time, Shen Rou came over from the side, she looked Youyou up and down, her eyes full of admiration, and smiled and said: "Youyou, the Youyou who once cosplayed Snow White?
"You've grown up so much now? You've become so beautiful and graceful that I couldn't recognize you!"
After hearing this, Youyou blushed slightly, smiled shyly, took the initiative to approach Shen Rou, gave her a warm hug, and said, "Long time no see, Mother Shen."
Shen Rou gently patted Youyou, who was a head taller than her, and said with emotion: "Good kid, you're back. Everyone, come and sit down."
Mu Xiaoji stood aside, looking around the living room, and asked with concern: "Dad, where is grandma? Did she go back to her room to rest?"
Song Shijie sat on the sofa and replied with a smile: "Yes, I waited for you to come back for dinner today, and now I am tired, so I'm going back to rest!
What's wrong with Choubao?" He looked towards the stairs with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Mu Xiaoji helped Song Shijie sit on the sofa and said lightly, "It's okay, let him be!"
There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, as if he was already accustomed to Jiang Shuo's behavior.
Everyone sat down in the living room, the light shone softly on everyone's face, and for a moment, a warm atmosphere filled the entire room.
Youyou sat on the sofa in the spacious and bright living room, her eyes like a nimble flying bird, lightly flying through every corner, trying to capture a familiar figure.
However, she looked everywhere but could not find any trace of Jiang Chengyu, and curiosity instantly surged in her heart like a tide.
She tilted her head slightly and looked at Mu Xiaoji beside her, with a puzzled look in her eyes, and asked softly:
"Brother Xiaoji, where is Brother Chengyu? You two are inseparable on weekdays, why are you not here today?"
Her voice was soft, but it was particularly clear in this quiet living room, like an invisible thread that drew everyone's attention.
Ke Laiweiler was sitting next to Youyou. Hearing her question, he couldn't help but nod and agreed, "Yes, I wanted to ask you at the kindergarten gate!
Is he still busy in the hospital? When he was in Kanghe Hospital, I heard that he worked very hard.
Sometimes, he would perform two surgeries a day, each lasting more than ten hours. I don’t know why he was so hard on himself and why he had to work so hard. ”
There was a hint of concern in his words, and his Chinese tone was mixed with confusion and worry about Jiang Chengyu. He frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion, waiting for Mu Xiaoji's answer.
When Mu Xiaoji heard this question, his originally gentle expression instantly became evasive, and his eyes wandered as if he was trying to find the right words.
His fingers moved unconsciously, as if he wanted to grab something to stabilize his emotions.
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer this seemingly simple question. His lips opened and closed slightly, but no sound came out.
Mu Huiying sat aside, feeling a little sorry for her son's embarrassment.
She leaned forward slightly, gently held Youyou's hand, and was about to speak: "Youyou, Brother Cheng Yu..."
Before she finished speaking, Mu Xiaoji seemed to come to his senses suddenly, and eagerly changed the subject of Mu Huiying's conversation, rushing to join in: "Brother Cheng Yu is tired and is sleeping in the bedroom!"
He spoke much faster than usual, and his voice was slightly higher, trying to cover up his inner panic with these simple words.
He forced a smile on his face, but his eyes were still a little wandering. He didn't dare to meet Youyou and Coleweiler's gaze.
Song Shijie was sitting next to his son and saw that he was hesitant in his words. Facing Youyou's question, he didn't know how to answer Jiang Chengyu's current situation.
He quickly took out the car keys from his pocket, handed them to Mu Xiaoji, and said in a steady voice, "Son, here are the car keys."
Mu Xiaoji was immersed in his own thoughts. When he heard the voice, he turned his head to look at his father with a confused look on his face, and subconsciously looked at the car keys in confusion.
There was still some doubt in his eyes, and his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to ask something.
Song Shijie couldn't wait for him to speak, so he continued: "The three of them left, and they took on a few more cases. Let me tell you."
When Mu Xiaoji heard this, the expression on his face suddenly became complicated, and guilt surged into his heart like a tide.
He lowered his head slightly, his voice a little hoarse and full of self-blame: "The three of them have been busy for so many days and didn't even bother to go home for the New Year. They just left like this. I..."
As he spoke, he covered his mouth with his hand and began to cough violently. The cough was particularly harsh in the quiet living room.
Song Shijie looked at his son distressedly and patted his back gently, his movements gentle and caring: "You've been tired all day, you should go back to your room and rest early!"
Youyou, who was sitting opposite, had a look of concern in her eyes. She hurriedly said, "Brother Xiaoji, you should take care of your health. We are not leaving this time when we return to China. It's very late now, so we will leave now. You should have a good rest and we will see you tomorrow."
Mu Xiaoji coughed lightly and tried to straighten up, with a tired smile on his face: "Youyou, just rest here! I'll ask mom to arrange a room for you."
Youyou raised the corner of her mouth and revealed a sweet smile: "No need, Brother Xiaoji, our luggage is all in the welfare home."
Mu Xiaoji hesitated for a moment, then reached out and handed the Range Rover key to Youyou, and said, "Okay, this is Brother Cheng Yu's car, so drive carefully on the road."
Youyou nodded, took the key, and said in a clear voice: "Bye, Brother Xiaoji!"
Ke Laiweiler, who had been standing beside Youyou, stepped forward, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Mu Xiaoji and said goodbye: "Mu, take care of yourself! Good night, everyone!"
Coleville smiled brightly, looked at everyone, and gently raised his hand to gesture goodbye.
Mu Xiaoji, Mu Huiying and Dean Guo accompanied the two of them out of the yard. The cool night wind blew in their faces, making Mu Xiaoji's hair a little messy.
Youyou walked to the car, looked back at them, still smiling: "You guys go back, we're leaving."
After that, she and Coleville got in the car, started the engine, and the car slowly drove out the door.
Mu Xiaoji stood in the yard, looking at the receding car until its taillights disappeared into the darkness.
His face was filled with fatigue, the kind of fatigue that was like a tide, sweeping over him completely.
He took another deep breath, feeling that Youyou had shed her youthfulness and grown into a graceful and elegant lady. In an unintentional trance, she saw a bit of Karina's shadow.
Mu Xiaoji walked to the bedroom door with heavy steps, reached out to turn the doorknob, but the door was locked from the inside.
She called softly, "Jiang Shuo, are you in there? Open the door." Not long after, Jiang Shuo opened the door with no emotion in his eyes.
Mu Xiaoji said unhappily: "Why did you lock the door?"
Jiang Shuo turned around and walked to the big bed, climbed onto it and continued to do basic exercises for Jiang Chengyu. He said concisely: "I don't want irrelevant people to come in and disturb my little daddy."
Mu Xiaoji frowned slightly, and also cared about Jiang Shuo's childish temper, and said softly: "You are tired today, go back to your room and rest early! I will give little dad a bath."
Jiang Shuo asked angrily, "What do you want me to do in exchange for giving my little daddy back to me? I think you should just take care of yourself. I want to take my little daddy back to Kuncheng and take care of him myself. I'm really worried about him being with you."
