at the same time.
As soon as Sheng Yuxiao's plane landed in Princeton, she received a call from Xu Ji.
"Although you cooperated with the little duck to buy me a bag of calcium tablets and played tricks on your uncle, I still kindly tell you... the little duck's grandfather may not be able to hold on in the next two days."
Sheng Yuxiao tightened her grip on the fuselage: "What's going on?"
"I just saw the news. Rongxing was extradited back to China. Rongxing is on the board of directors of the Gui family, and he is also the one who bribed the nuns. First it was Wei Lin, then him, and the others..."
"I'll be scared." Sheng Yuxiao answered.
"Yes. His son has been able to scare these people, and they have climbed out of the abyss. His daughter has also regained most of her consciousness... I think the breath that held him is gone."
Xu Ji finished speaking in a calm tone, and then asked: "Where are you?"
"Princeton, get ready for an admissions interview."
"Oh, then you can participate first. It shouldn't take two days to die..."
Sheng Yuxiao said: "There's no rush."
Then he hung up the phone and walked back.
The bodyguard accompanying him was stunned: "Master Shanda?"
When Sheng Yuxiao landed again, she received another call from Xu Ji.
"A piece of bad news... Two more people have died on the Gui family's board of directors, and there are rumors that they are cleaning up the company. Wei Wenjun is going crazy."
"In their circle, things are done in an old-fashioned way, and there is always a source for cleaning up the family. ... I guess the old man is really in trouble."
Xu Ji finished speaking slowly and then asked: "Then will you come back?"
"I just arrived at Tianjin Airport."
"...Ah." Xu Ji muttered, and the "not urgent" emotion said meant that the admission interview was no longer urgent.
Sheng Yuxiao quickly hung up Xu Ji's call and called Xiaoya.
In this way, he became the second outsider to appear at the scene besides Wei Xuanming's old friend.
"Little duck." He walked over dusty.
Young Master Shanda is still not good at comforting people as always.
He just knelt down and hugged her.
"Don't cry," he said.
The little duck was stunned and asked softly: "Sheng Yuxiao, why are you here?" Then she shook her head: "I didn't cry."
Sheng Yuxiao opened her mouth, then changed her words: "Then don't hold it in."
"I'm not holding it back. Grandpa is very happy, as he told me. Now he is reunited with his mother, and she has a father again."
Sheng Yuxiao didn't know what to say, so he just touched her hair.
Mr. Li was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile an ugly smile. It turns out I wasn’t holding back my emotions.
But this little girl... really understands her grandpa.
He also felt that his old friend should be happy...

Because the person died in China, it is not easy to deal with the issue of status.
They sent the old man's ashes back to his hometown.
On the day we flew back to Jin City, a steady stream of rain fell from the sky.
Xiaoya took her uncle and aunt out of the airport and bumped into Qin Sui before taking two steps.
"I went to the elementary school to look for you, and they said you had taken a few days off. Then I called Grandpa Zhang and he told me your flight," Qin Sui said.
Not to mention that Sheng Yuxiao was not good at comforting people, but Qin Sui was actually not much better.
After all, they are all young masters, how can they usually have this experience?
After saying that, Qin Sui fell into silence.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, another car stopped.
The person in the car got out, it was Xu Ji.
Xu Ji didn't even look at Qin Sui, he just stared at the duck and said, "I'll pick you up on behalf of Yu Xiao."
The little duck asked: "Has he gone back to class?"
Qin Sui knew it was an appointment as soon as he heard this.
Xu Ji smiled at this time: "What class? He is sleeping."
"oh."
Xu Ji immediately bent down and asked, "He didn't come to pick you up even when he was sleeping. Why are you not angry at all?"
"Why are you angry?" Xiaoya looked at him strangely, "Is it because he didn't come to pick me up when he was sleeping? Is his kindness to me all fake?"
Xu Ji sighed: "Okay, I can't provoke you at all."
"Actually, it's because a few days ago, he came to stay with you during the day and flew abroad at night. He flew back and forth several times, so..."
"Are you tired and sick?" Xiaoya became a little nervous.
Xu Ji said: "Oh, that's not the case. My nephew's body is as strong as a cow, but he is too sleepy to get out."
The little duck breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xu Ji: "You have to take calcium tablets seriously."
Xu Ji: "..."
Do you still despise his crispy skin?
"Let's go, get in the car." Xu Ji said.
Qin Sui said nothing, but his eyes were slightly cold.
The little duck looked left and right, and asked Qin Sui: "Are we together?"
The coldness in Qin Sui's eyes was immediately dispelled, and he responded softly: "Okay."
They followed Xu Ji away.
The uncle and aunt got into another car.
Qin Sui and Xu Ji were strangers after all. Even if they were in the same car, the atmosphere in the car seemed very cold.
A long while.
Qin Sui took the initiative to speak: "My grandpa died early and I didn't spend much time with him. When he left, I didn't feel anything at all."
"When my grandpa left, I was already in junior high school, but I didn't shed any tears at that time. At that time, my uncle, the one you saw last time, specifically asked my dad if I was sick or not. The disease of innate indifference.”
He wanted to comfort Xiaoya, but after talking for a long time, he realized that nothing seemed to be able to comfort her.
The book says that usually you can make the other person feel better by telling your own more tragic experiences.
But Qin Sui's life, coupled with his temperament, could there be any more tragic experience?
Qin Sui was stuck.
But the little duck slowly spoke at this time: "Is it because when your grandpa passed away, he was very old and didn't care at all? If so, it doesn't matter if you don't cry. In the countryside, this is called happy mourning."
The duck said: "You are not sick."
Qin Sui was startled and lowered his head. He didn't know why, but wanted to laugh.
It comes from the heart and I can’t help but laugh.
He didn't know how to comfort her.
In the end, it was her who comforted him.
Xu Ji, who was sitting in the front, interrupted abruptly: "Little duck, you are a natural antidote."
Duckling was confused.
Xu Ji had no intention of explaining.
He said in his heart that the more "poisonous" a person is, the more effective your "medicine" will be.

The news of Grandpa Xiaoya's death gradually became widely known.
Zhou Xiaoshu and An Ying didn't know who her grandfather was, but they were still afraid that she would be sad and wanted to be with Xiaoya all the time.
After Mu Bai heard about it, he came to send something in person with a straight face.
"The fifth graders are here to offer sacrifices again!" The students were quite happy.
Mu Bai had just stepped out and heard these words before he had gone far. He was so angry that he almost fell down.
How long will this shabby character be maintained? Mu Bai didn't know either. Maybe when I get older, I can beat that little girl!
……
The little duck's life temporarily entered a long period of peace... It seemed that nothing could trouble her anymore.
A semester passed in a flash.
Sheng Yuxiao was going to study abroad, Qin Sui was going to study abroad, and so was Ning Heng... In a blink of an eye, only Xu Ruying was left, and she had already finished studying abroad.
"Now I don't have the duck all to myself?" Xu Ruying was extremely happy.
Xu Ji poured a basin of cold water on her: "What exclusivity? Sheng Yuxiao might go back to China once a week."
Xu Ruying was shocked: "Is he sick? He comes back once a week?"
Xu Ji lowered his head and continued to read the financial report: "That means there are restrictions on entry, otherwise Komnenos would want to come once a month."
The corners of Xu Ruying's mouth twitched and she was speechless.
After the new semester started, Sheng Yuxiao did what Xu Ji said and flew to China for most of the year.
However, after more than half a year, Sheng Yuxiao did not come back, and we could not see him again for several months.
Xu Ruying was afraid that the little duck would be lost, so while accompanying her to do her homework, she said, "Overseas universities are really not for people to go to. The better the school, the busier the people. Sheng Yuxiao must be crazy busy."
As she talked, she couldn't help but mutter: "His birthday is coming soon, so he can't celebrate it abroad, right?"
