At Linhai International Airport, a beautiful figure was standing within the airport passageway. From time to time, she would tiptoe, waiting for something.
From the view of her back, the girl looked to be around 17 or 18 years old. She was tall and stylish with long black hair flowing down her back. Her slender legs had a pair of crystal heels that made her look white and straight.
"Beautiful girl, are you waiting for someone?" A young man in an Armani suit was standing beside the girl. He was shaking the keys of the BMW with a cruel smile on his face. With one look, one could tell that this guy was from a rich family, and was an expert in love affairs.
The girl turned her head, and her impeccable appearance revealed a trace of coldness. Compared to Ling Long's pure beauty, her face revealed a little arrogance. This beautiful woman who looked like a shining star in the airport, who attracted the gazes of all the males in the airport, who else could she be other than Xue Ningshuang?
Glancing disdainfully at the popinjay who had come up to greet him, Xue Ningshuang only laughed coldly. She swiped her finger across the ends of her hair and waved the car key in her hand in front of him: "That's right, I'm here at the airport to pick you up!"
With a few words that were neither humble nor haughty, and with the limited edition Maserati car keys in his hand, it was enough for the foppish young lord to run away with his tail between his legs.
Looking at the furious and embarrassed figure of her back, Xue Ningshuang laughed in disdain: "Go, who do you think you are, trying to flaunt your wealth by driving a broken BMW, do you really think that the girls of this world have never seen the world before? What a laughable toad. "
After he spoke, Xue Ningshuang's gaze once again fell onto the path leading to the airport, revealing a trace of anxiety.
Xue Ningshuang was here to pick up the plane today, and the one who was receiving him was none other than his parents, who she hadn't seen in a long time. Although in front of Xue Qingming, Xue Ningshuang expressed contempt and indifference towards his parents, but their biological parents were his biological parents after all, so it was impossible for him to say that she didn't care.
It was already evening during this period, and the onlookers at Linhai International Airport were also beginning to mutter.
"Please take note, the flight from New York to Linhai has arrived. Please pack up your salutes and prepare to leave the warehouse!"
Following a kind reminder, Xue Ningshuang's eyes became even more excited, and started to scan the crowd in the path.
After looking for a long time, the appearance of a middle-aged couple finally appeared in Xue Ningshuang's eyes. Instantly, Xue Ningshuang's eyes became moist.
Although they were separated by a distant ocean and they hadn't seen each other for a few years, Xue Ningshuang still recognized her parents at first glance. However, Xue Ningshuang had placed all of her excitement deep in her heart and did not express it.
Xue Ningshuang did not rush forward nor did she wave at her. She just quietly waited like that.
The middle-aged couple looked around, and then, their gazes were fixated on Xue Ningshuang. The woman impatiently walked forward, and practically jogged in front of Xue Ningshuang, unable to restrain the excitement in her heart, and hugged Xue Ningshuang in her arms.
"Frost, Frost …" While shouting out Xue Ningshuang's name, the middle-aged woman held onto Xue Ningshuang's face: "It's been five years already, and you've already grown so big, and now you've become a big girl, even Mom won't be able to recognize you!"
A woman, after all, is naturally compassionate and affectionate. Facing Xue Ningshuang who came alone, the middle-aged woman would more or less have endless emotions and sadness.
It was Xue Ningshuang's father. Xue Wanlong walked forward leisurely, looked at Xue Ningshuang and her wife and said: "Alright, this is the airport, so there's no need to wail. Let's go back first.
Xue Ningshuang's mother immediately wiped the tears off her face and nodded.
Xue Wanlong turned back again, and glanced at the two black clothed men in the crowd. The two of them seemed to have received an order, they nodded and hid in the crowd all of a sudden, as if they were two passersby.
Xue Ningshuang and her family of three walked out of the airport along with the crowd.
However, on the way here, Xue Ningshuang had thousands of things to say, yet she did not say a single word. It was as if it would be difficult to even call out to her parents.
"Ning Shuang, you, how have you been living by grandpa's side all these years?" Seeing that the atmosphere in the carriage was extremely awkward and that her own daughter was no longer as intimate with her as she was when she was young, Xue Ningshuang's mother couldn't help but wonder if it was good to have a chat with her.
When Xue Ningshuang saw his parents, she actually wanted to talk about her situation and circumstances these past few years. Those little secrets that only she himself knew, were things that she really wanted to share with his parents.
But when the words were about to reach her mouth, Xue Ningshuang was unable to say a single word, and only indifferently said: "All these years, I have been living a very good life, both eating and dressing. Grandfather is also very protective of me, I feel that I am already extremely good!"
Anyone could hear the resentment in Xue Ningshuang's words. However, Xue Wanlong and his wife looked at each other with sorrow. Xue Ningshuang's mother began to sob softly on the carriage.
The car became silent again. Everyone's mood had almost dropped to the freezing point.
Xue Ningshuang's speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, she had already reached the Star Moon And Half Mountain Villa. She parked the car in front of the villa and directly opened the door to enter, while Xue Wanlong and the middle aged woman followed closely behind.
The entire Xue’s Mansion was spacious and dark, and other than a light shining in Xue Qingming's study, the rest of the place was pitch black.
Xue Ningshuang turned around and said coldly: "Grandfather should be in the study room. Go and see him. It's getting late and I'm a bit tired. I'll go back and rest! "
After she finished speaking, Xue Ningshuang walked towards her own room in the darkness without even turning her head back.
Just like this, Xue Ningshuang left his parents, Xue Wanlong and his wife on the spot. This middle-aged couple looked at each other in dismay, feeling quite awkward.
After an unknown period of time, Xue Wanlong finally let out a helpless sigh.
"Wan Long, look at this child Ning Shuang. She, does she blame us? She wasn't willing to get close to us along the way, and I'm still wondering if leaving her alone in Linhai was the wrong decision!"
Xue Wanlong had a squarish face, looking full of heroic spirit, his sword-like eyebrows raised as he said: "It's alright, it's only the period of's rebellion, I think the old man spoiled it!"
"Forget it, forget it, let's not think about this anymore." However, Wan Long, this time when we come back, we must have a good talk with Old Master. No matter what, we must take Ning Shuang away! "
"Mm, I'll go speak with the lordmaster about this." Let's go to the old man's study first! "
The couple muttered to themselves for a while before they walked towards Xue Qingming's study. Before the two of them reached the door, they heard a deep and vigorous laughter coming from inside, "You two little fellows, you're finally willing to come back!"
At the door, when Xue Wanlong heard this, he was filled with excitement and joy. He immediately walked into the room and saw Xue Qingming sitting at the side of the desk.
Xue Wanlong respectfully walked a few steps forward before Xue Qingming, and said: "Father, I'm back!"
Although Xue Qingming was excited in his heart, and old tears streamed down his face, he did not get up. Firstly, he was injured, and secondly, ever since ancient times, there had never been a reason for this father to salute his son. So Xue Qingming just sat there and glanced at his son and daughter-in-law.
When Xue Qingming's gaze swept over the couple, he exclaimed, "Where's that girl Ning Shuang? Why didn't she come with you guys?
Xue Wanlong did not speak. However, it was Xue Ningshuang's mother who said: "Father, that girl Ning Shuang is tired from talking. She went back to her room to rest!"
He only laughed bitterly, closed the book in his hand, and pointed at Xue Wanlong: "You, ah, what are you trying to make this old man say that to you? As a father, five years, five years, you haven't come back to see your own daughter. As a son, you haven't come back to visit your own father in five years.
Xue Wanlong never thought that the moment he came back, he would be scolded by his father. But facing Xue Qingming, Xue Wanlong did not dare to be rash, and could only nod his head: "Yes yes, father's teachings are correct!"
Xue Qingming pretended to be deep in thought. He pinched his eyebrows, then smiled at his daughter-in-law: "Ruifen, I'm really sorry to have let you watch such a joke. It's getting late, and you've also come back from the other side of the ocean, so you still need to be late. Besides, I'm a bit worried about Ning Shuang being in a bad mood, so why don't you accompany her? "
The middle-aged woman quickly nodded. "Sigh, Father, I'll go right now!"
His daughter was already unaccustomed to him, if she did not spare some time to accompany his daughter now, who knew what Xue Ningshuang would think? Of course, Nangong Ruifen did not want to stay in the study. After all, every time Xue Qingming and Xue Wanlong, this father and son pair, talked about something that was extremely mysterious, it would be difficult for him to understand it.
Instead of listening to the father and son talk, it would be more practical to accompany his daughter.
Waiting until Nangong Ruifen had walked far away from him, Xue Wanlong finally revealed a sly smile. He walked toward his father like a little fox and asked, "Father, do you have something to say to me after you leave Rui Fen?"
Xue Qingming chuckled, and said: "Hehe, you really are my father, Mo Rui Zi. I do have something that I want to tell you!"
Xue Wanlong muttered to himself for a moment, "Is it about Ning Shuang?"
Xue Qingming laughed, "Not bad, not bad. "Long'er, I think that little girl Ning Shuang has already lived for two to nine years this year, and she isn't considered young either. I'm trying to figure out if we should arrange a marriage for her now!"
Xue Wanlong had never thought that his father would be so anxious, and come straight to the point. In fact, in the eyes of ordinary parents, this girl was only eighteen and was already at the age where she was going to be engaged. Even if his family's old man asked for it, most people would still reject him immediately. However, Xue Wanlong's stance was the opposite. He laughed happily and said to Xue Qingming: "I won't hide it from father, I came back this time for this matter, seems like we two are heroes who think alike!"
