Chapter 194: Rescue 1
The earthquake situation was serious, and the images captured by the reporters were quite brutal. Wen Yun, fearful of worrying Tong Yao, didn’t dare to go into too much detail.
Tong Yao’s heart gave a start, as she had thought that aside from some old buildings collapsing, there weren’t many casualties in the earthquake. Seeing everyone going off to work as usual that morning, it had seemed like not much was different from normal.
She hadn’t realized that the epicenter of the earthquake was elsewhere.
A level 7.1 quake was a massive event, and now with Si Chen going to provide aid, it seemed quite dangerous. Tong Yao felt somewhat anxious, thinking back to the horrific scenes from an earthquake she had witnessed on the news in her previous life, and a wave of melancholy washed over her.
Noticing that Tong Yao hadn’t spoken for a while, Tong Yaohui, who was off to the side, took the phone from Wen Yun. "You just take care of yourself over there, don’t worry about Ahchen. He’ll be back as soon as the aid work is done. Rescuing the disaster-stricken people will be a bit tiring, but not dangerous. You, on the other hand, need to be more alert in Li City. Don’t venture out late at night like you did back in Kyoto. Now that you are building your own family, and will be becoming parents in a year or two, you should be more mature," he said.
His voice was heavy and earnest, his words filled with concern. Ever since his daughter moved to Li City, she had become more obedient, which left him both relived and filled with longing. But for his daughter’s future, he was forced to make the tough decision to marry her off to Si Chen.
Only by ensuring a reliable partner for his daughter, could he and his wife put their hearts at rest.
Tong Yaohui had only one daughter. His older brothers each had a son and a daughter, but their personalities were cold and selfish, transferring them to their children who didn’t hold deep affection for Tong Yao.
