Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 258: Chapter 257 Old Neighbor

The next morning, as Su Yang and his companions were having breakfast, a middle-aged man suddenly dashed into the hotel.

When the middle-aged man saw Qi’er’s mother at Su Yang’s table, he was overjoyed and hurriedly ran over.

”Auntie Wu, it really is you!” the middle-aged man exclaimed excitedly.

”You’re Dongzi!” Auntie Wu also recognized the middle-aged man, and tears streamed down her face, ”Ah, Dongzi, I thought I’d never see you again in my life!”

With red eyes, Dongzi grasped Auntie Wu’s hands and said tremblingly, ”Auntie Wu, where have you all been these years? While she was alive, my mother always talked about you, we searched for you for so many years but never found you. Ah, my mother couldn’t even close her eyes peacefully when she passed away!”

Qi’er beside them also had a face full of tears, and Fatty couldn’t help but ask, ”Hey, stingy beauty, who’s this guy?”

”You’re the stingy one!” Qi’er retorted indignantly and whispered, ”He’s our former neighbor.”

”You were close, huh?” Fatty asked curiously.

”Of course, he almost became my mom’s godson,” Qi’er whispered, ”My parents didn’t have children of their own, so because they were close to the neighbors, they treated the neighbors’ kids as their own. Dongzi was good at school, but with several kids at home, they couldn’t afford the schooling. Back then, it was my parents who sold their grain to support his education!”

”Oh, no wonder,” Fatty realized, ”Then why didn’t they help when you were sick?”

”When my parents took me out to seek medical treatment, Dongzi was still in school, and even having enough food was an issue for his family, how could they help?” Qi’er paused for a moment, then added, ”Still, despite that, Dongzi’s mom took out the last of their grain and baked ten pancakes for us to take with us.”

As she said this, tears welled up in Qi’er’s eyes again, ”Later, when they had no grain left at home, Dongzi’s dad went to the mountain to catch rabbits while ill and accidentally fell into a ravine and died...”

Upon hearing this, Fatty also grew solemn and nodded, ”Indeed a good neighbor, I respect that!”

Su Yang set down his chopsticks and looked over at Dongzi. Judging by his clothes, he seemed to be wealthy, but he appeared to be the honest type, without malintent. He had come back this time specifically after hearing news, just to look for Auntie Wu. In his heart, he already regarded Auntie Wu as his mother!

”Dongzi, how are you doing now?” Auntie Wu finally managed to stop crying and asked in a low voice.

”I’m fine, I graduated from college and now work in Zhongchang City,” Dongzi said hastily, ”My younger brothers and sisters are all in the city now too, and our lives are much better than before. All these years, I’ve been looking for a way to find you, just to bring you back to take care of in your old age. Auntie Wu, this time you’ve come back, please don’t leave again!”

”As long as you’re living well, that’s what matters,” Auntie Wu said with relief, ”But still, I have to go, I have to accompany Qi’er.”

”Oh right, how is Qi’er doing now?” Dongzi asked urgently.

”Dongzi, I’m right here!” Qi’er said with a smile.

”What?” Dongzi was baffled, as he stared at Qi’er with wide eyes, ”You... you... who are you?”

”I’m Qi’er!” Qi’er replied, ”Don’t you remember? When I was little, you even carried my meals for me!”

”What?” Dongzi was utterly stunned, looking towards Auntie Wu, ”This... this...”

”She is Qi’er!” Auntie Wu said with a smile, ”It was Doctor Su who cured Qi’er!”

Dongzi looked at Su Yang, his face instantly full of gratitude, ”Doctor Su, thank you so much. This... this is just fantastic, before my mom passed away, other than Auntie Wu, she worried about Qi’er the most. My mom said that Qi’er’s life was tough, ah, but now it’s all good, so wonderful!”

After some pleasantries, Dongzi invited everyone to stay in Zhongchang City for a few days.

Qi’er and her mother didn’t dare to make the decision, however, Su Yang agreed to it. Because he just happened to be going to the city to look for Chen Biao and settle some matters.

Dongzi arranged for a car, Su Yang and Qi’er’s parents took his car and left first, Master Fang drove, carrying Fatty, Xiao Hei, Chen Shao and the others following behind.

The driver on Dongzi’s side was a young man dressed in lavish clothes. As Dongzi came in, he immediately said, impatiently, ”Dad, didn’t you say it would be just a minute? Why did it take so long. Can you hurry up? I have a luncheon at noon!”

”What’s the rush, kid!” Dongzi said, ”I’m picking up your Grandma Wu and Sister Qi’er, is your luncheon that important?”

”Of course, it is. It’s a get-together with a few classmates who have returned from abroad, we haven’t seen each other for a long time!” The young man pursed his lips, ”Our Grandma Wu, Sister Qi’er, I’ve never heard of them. Where did they pop up from?”

”What kind of way is that to speak!” Dongzi became angry, at this point, Su Yang and the others also walked over, and Dongzi immediately said, ”Xiao Kai, get out quickly, and meet your Grandma Wu, Sister Qi’er and Doctor Su!”

Young Xiao Kai originally didn’t plan to come out, but as his gaze swept over Qi’er, his eyes lit up, and he immediately crawled out of the car.

”This... Is this Sister Qi’er?” Xiao Kai was full of amazement, ”She looks even younger than I am, right? Dad, have you got it wrong?”

”Qi’er is two years older than you!” Dongzi said.

”Two years, huh, that’s not a lot, can’t call her aunt, should call her sister!” Xiao Kai’s face immediately brightened with joy, and he reached out to take Qi’er’s hand, ”Sister Qi’er, I am Zhao Kai. I’m so lucky today, I never expected to get such a heavenly beautiful sister! ”

Qi’er was startled and involuntarily took a step back, causing Zhao Kai to miss her hand.

”What are you doing?” Dongzi shouted, ”You should call her Auntie, no rudeness allowed, hurry up and drive now!”

Zhao Kai gave Qi’er another smiling glance, turned around, and got back in the car, Dongzi arranged for Su Yang and the others to sit in the back, and they drove straight to Zhongchang City.

”Dongzi, you made some money later on, even bought a car!” Auntie Wu sat in the car, saying cheerfully, ”Ah, your mom up in heaven would also be at peace now!”

Dongzi laughed, ”Haven’t really struck it rich, just made a bit of money. If it wasn’t for Grandma Wu’s help, I’d probably still be farming in the countryside!”

”Dad, why do you always have to be so modest? If that’s called making a little money, then what’s called making a lot?”

Zhao Kai said arrogantly, ”Grandma Wu, Sister Qi’er, my dad’s had very good development these past two years. He opened two companies, owns four properties in the city, and this car my dad’s driving is a BMW, it’s almost six hundred thousand!”

”Zhao Kai, can you stop talking!” Dongzi said angrily.

”We’re all family here, what’s wrong with that?” Zhao Kai immediately said, ”Grandma Wu cares so much about you, you should let people know you’re doing well, otherwise she’ll always be worried, won’t she?”
