Chapter 424: then translation of title

Li Xin gave Da Fan a shot of chicken blood, then turned and brought the crew straight to the airport.

After all, this is Da Fan's family business; what's it to him to stick his nose in?

Well, the honest truth is, Da Fan, you need to show some spirit; I'll provide logistical support, so don't hold back.

Airport entrance.

Jiang Tian Yang said to Li Xin: "A Xin, stay a few more days here; I'll show you a good time. Xiao Hua has been rescued too—no need to rush back, right?"

This time around, Jiang Tian Yang has done things quite thoroughly, and Li Xin isn't the type to disregard personal ties.

"Jiang Tian Yang brother, we'll be together for a while still; I have some small business to look after in Gangdao, so this time I won't trouble you—next time I come I'll definitely make you bleed heavily."

After these two days of getting along, Li Xin feels Jiang Tian Yang is alright—different from Jiang Tian Sheng, Jiang Tian Yang is very generous.

So now Li Xin's way of addressing him has changed from "Little Jiang" to "Jiang Tian Yang brother."

Jiang Tian Yang hugged Li Xin briefly and said, "All right, whenever you have time, let's keep in touch."

Li Xin laughed and said, "No problem. If you're free, come back to Gangdao and I'll host you."

"Gangdao is changing fast; it can accommodate a Jiang Tian Yang. As long as you, Brother Jiang Tian Yang, remember Prosperity's family rules, I can be your ladder to return to Gangdao."

Jiang Tian Yang laughed and gave Li Xin a thumbs-up: "A Xin, to be frank, I used to want to return to Gangdao, but it was just a matter of hot-headedness."

"Now he's ashore—what am I fighting for by going back?"

He glanced at the kid behind Li Xin, then whispered in his ear: "If you're willing, give the kid a hand up—I'll treat him like my own son."

Li Xin patted Jiang Tian Yang's arm and nodded: "Don't worry, over the past year or so, the kid's little bad habits have been pretty much smoothed out."

"Without those bad habits, the kid's future is limitless; I'll give him a way out—indeed, even without looking at Mr. Jiang and you, just considering the kid himself, I genuinely like him."

Gangdao Kai Tak Airport.

Li Xin and his group got off the plane and headed straight for Shallow Water Bay; the residence Li Xin arranged for his big sister-in-law and her family is right here, not far from where he and Tian Hong live.

Xiao Hua walked around the villa a few times before coming to Li Xin, Taizi, and Boxing King Tai.

She smiled and said to the three, "Thank you, Uncle Xin, Uncle Taizi, Uncle Tai—I love this house so much!"

Li Xin pointed at Taizi and Tai and said, "Xiao Hua, I bought the house, Taizi did the renovation, Tai arranged the furnishings—this is our three hearts' intention; if anything isn't right, just speak up."

Xiao Hua, eyes red, bowed to the three, then raised her head and said, "Thank you, three uncles, for troubling yourselves."

After saying that, she took Li Xin aside, her eyes darting, and asked, "Uncle Xin, how's that classmate of mine?"

Li Xin patted her head and laughed, "Still worrying about that classmate of yours?"

"She didn't even report a missing person after you went missing, just flew straight back to Maple Leaf Country—damn, what kind of classmate is that?"

Xiao Hua felt a bit upset, but still grabbed Li Xin's sleeve and pleaded, "Uncle Xin, just let it go; from now on I'll pretend I don't know her—don't stir up trouble for her, okay?"

Li Xin was amused by Xiao Hua's annoyance and teased, "What's up? Is that all I am in your heart?"

"Don't worry, I don't care who you befriend—as long as they don't hurt you. They just want to stay out of it and haven't done anything to harm you, so I won't do anything to her."

Xiao Hua let out a breath; she knew Uncle Xin was never a reasonable person.

Her father, while alive, used to joke with them, saying Uncle Xin is the type who, if he's right, won't let you off, and if he's wrong, still stirs up trouble.

She was afraid Uncle Xin would take his anger out on that classmate, after all, the idea to travel to T Country was hers—there's no reason to let them suffer undeserved disaster; but this friend, from now on, there's no chance of any further interaction.

She didn't want to invite trouble, which is understandable, but not even filing a report? That she can't accept.

Li Xin saw Xiao Hua not speaking, pointed to a nearby villa, and said, "That's where I live; I'll have someone come keep you company for a few days, then we'll talk more after your big sister-in-law returns."

Xiao Hua quickly waved her hands: "Uncle Xin, really no need—I can manage on my own."

"This is settled: you'll come live with me; you'll surely be unaccustomed, and I won't force you, but after what you've just been through, you can't be without someone beside you."

After saying that, Li Xin left the villa, got in the car, and called Line: Qiuti, telling her to let Xiao En know to be Xiao Hua's companion for a few days.

Line: Qiuti asked on the phone, "A Xin, is Xiao Hua okay?"

"She's fine, just listless—not as lively as before."

"Alright, I'll tell Xiao En right away—you go get busy."

Line: Qiuti hung up, then summoned Xiao En and Xiao Yu to leave; she was very clear about Gang's status in A Xin's heart—he often mentioned this Big Brother in casual chat.

So Line: Qiuti dropped what she was doing and headed straight for the Shallow Water Bay villa area.

Work is important, but so is looking after Xiao Hua—she knows which weighs more.

Shallow Water Bay villa area.

Line: Qiuti found Xiao Hua using the address A Xin gave her, smiling and said, "You're Xiao Hua, right? You're really pretty!"

Xiao Hua asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

Line: Qiuti extended her hand to Xiao Hua and introduced herself: "I'm Line: Qiuti, Uncle Xin's girlfriend—have you heard my name?"

Xiao Hua let go of Line: Qiuti's hand, then smiled and replied, "I have—before, Uncle Xin talked with my mom on the phone; when Mom asked if he had a girlfriend, he mentioned you."

"Since you've mentioned it, let's go—today I'll take you out shopping; after all, you've just returned to Gangdao and don't have much clothing."

Copper Gong Bay.

Line: Qiuti took Xiao Hua into a fashionable clothing store, carefully picked out a few bright outfits, handed them to her, and encouraged her to try them on.

Xiao Hua hesitated a bit, but seeing Line: Qiuti's eager gaze, she still went into the fitting room.

When Xiao Hua came out in her new clothes, Line: Qiuti's eyes lit up.

Seeing Xiao Hua in that stylish dress, her face lit up with a smile, and Line: Qiuti was very pleased with her own eye.

Afterward, they visited a few more stores, buying some shoes, bags, and accessories.

Xiao Hua's mood kept improving, and she started initiating conversation with Line: Qiuti.

Watching Xiao Hua gradually become more open, Line: Qiuti felt a quiet pride.

She can't handle big things, but doing small favors for A Xin is still doable.

This shopping trip greatly eased Xiao Hua's fear—that's her achievement.

Finally, Line: Qiuti and Xiao Hua left the mall, laden with big and small shopping bags.

Sunlight fell on them, reflecting their radiant smiles.

Line: Qiuti was like a good friend, chatting with Xiao Hua about some amusing anecdotes.
