Chapter 42: Shi Yang’s Father
Zhao Meimei returned home in the evening, personally driven back by Director Shi. Shi Yang’s mother was worried about Shi Yang and stayed at the hospital to take care of him.
Zhao Dazhuang and Liu Xiue were chatting in front of the grocery store with other familiar neighbors from the community. Liu Xiue, being sharp-eyed, recognized Director Shi’s car and quickly followed Zhao Dazhuang to the roadside to greet them.
Director Shi got out of the car, walked to the passenger side, and opened the door for Zhao Meimei. Zhao Meimei nimbly got out of the car.
"Meimei!" Liu Xiue called out.
Zhao Meimei turned her head, saw her mother, and quickly waved, "Mom! Dad!"
Director Shi casually closed the car door and turned to join them.
Zhao Dazhuang and Liu Xiue came over and greeted politely, "Oh my, why did we trouble you to personally bring our Meimei back? Where is Shi Yang’s mother?"
Director Shi smiled and said, "She couldn’t leave the child and is at the hospital."
Zhao Meimei rushed into Liu Xiue’s arms, her little face flushed with excitement. She had never sat in such a luxurious private car growing up. On the way back, everything she saw was new to her, and she was thrilled the whole way.
Liu Xiue hugged Zhao Meimei, "You weren’t naughty at the hospital, were you?"
