Chapter 786: The Old Folks

Many old men went abroad and never came back.

Why?

Because living abroad has low cost and good service.

The key is that there are beautiful women to accompany them.

After working hard all their lives, when they get old they just want to live a little more freely.

What's the point of returning to Daxia?

The places they live are mostly developed by Capital Gate, with a nice environment and comfortable climate.

These old folks coming here also boosted the local economy.

It's a good thing for the host country, and also good for Daxia, lightening the nation's burden.

Yang Qing watched the news and found himself moved.

16th year, May.

Daxia's real estate entered an accelerated phase.

The Long-term Rental project almost stalled.

There was no way around it—selling land was just too lucrative.

Someone will always give in to the temptation.

Zhengzhou—Chen Feng bore the final wave of pressure and still firmly implemented the Long-term Rental quota.

However, in two years he will retire.

The future is uncertain.

He must stand his final post.

Chen Hong is also with him.

Accompanying Zhao Ruoyun.

The old lady stubbornly insists on not mooching off the Yang Family's glory.

So Chen Hong can only come over to see her.

The old lady is already 92 years old.

Her health is still fairly robust.

She is much better off than Zhao Man Ting, who now spends most of her time in a wheelchair.

The time she spends standing and walking each day does not exceed two hours.

When Tanaka Yuko has nothing to do, she pushes her for a stroll, and her mood is still good.

It's just that whenever she thinks of Yang Rong, she feels heartbroken for a long time.

Now phones can video call, and the two women often video chat.

Today they are doing just that—video chatting.

Zhao Man Ting is proudly showing off her grandson.

"Little sis, Yang Fan said that in a few days the rocket they've been researching will be test‑flown."

"Do you want to go together and have a look in Hainan?"

"You haven't even seen your grandson many times, have you?"

"Let's take this opportunity and go see it together."

"Every time you look, you'll have one less look left."

Zhao Ruoyun, being teased by Zhao Man Ting, got a little anxious.

"If we're going, I'll have my daughter take me."

"See you in Hainan."

Zhao Man Ting kept on showing off.

"I'll have my son push me there; you shouldn't let Chen Hong bring you either."

"We have our own plane."

"When the time comes, I'll come pick you up."

Zhao Ruoyun's mouth twitched—this woman really gets on my nerves.

Yang Qing came over at this point.

"Mom, let's go together—Imperial City has built a vacation villa complex over there, and the environment is quite nice."

"By then, you two sisters can argue face to face—that'll be fun."

"Besides, Chen Feng will be retiring in two years."

"After retiring, there's no need to stay in Zhengzhou—just to avoid seeing him and getting angry."

"This time I'm going, and I plan to settle there long‑term."

"The weather in Beifang isn't very friendly to our old bones."

"If you go, Chen Feng will have to come along too, and Chen Hong's fund is pretty much ready."

"She ought to take a rest."

After being persuaded by Yang Qing, Zhao Ruoyun hesitated a bit.

"If I go, isn't that just mooching off my son‑in‑law?"

Chen Hong also urged her from the side.

"Mom, I'm not young either—running back and forth to see you every few years, I can't take it."

"Just go—you'll also feel sorry for me."

Zhao Man Ting.

Big sis, just listen to the child, you see me, Yang Qing wants to take me wherever, I'll go wherever he wants, the main point is just not to cause him trouble.

The child is no longer young, can't tolerate the hassle, it's better to live together.

Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, are you there?

Chen Feng heard the commotion and also came over.

Aunt Ting.

Seeing Chen Feng, Zhao Man Ting was not polite and directly asked.

State your position; if you don't go, your mother won't want to go either.

You also know how many people's paths you've blocked over the years; staying in Zhengzhou, you can handle it, but your mother cannot.

Simply, let's all go to Hainan.

Chen Feng looked at his older sister, his mother, and then at Yang Qing and Zhao Man Ting.

He has spent his life, because Yang Qing lay low for decades, and also because Yang Qing went smoothly for decades.

Now that he's old, old, Yang Qing has arranged everything for him.

To be honest, after sitting in that position of real power for so long, being arranged by Yang Qing, he feels very unhappy.

But to let his mother follow him here and experience the warmth fading as people leave, he can't bear it.

If he said agreement, he also couldn't speak; a man just cares about face.

Yang Qing has neglected others' face for so long, he didn't think of this.

Chen Hong and Zhao Man Ting also didn't think of this.

Zhao Ruoyun saw Chen Feng's expression and then thought of something.

Just as he opened his mouth to refuse.

Zhou Lin, however, spoke up at the right moment.

Just listen to the brother-in-law; after he retires, we'll also go to Hainan.

For the house money, you first cover it for us; after we retire, we'll sell the assets here and pay you back later.

Zhengzhou, this place, I'm also tired of it; I've stayed here my whole life, and I also want to see the world.

Zhou Lin's words made Chen Feng shut up.

They, as a couple, truly have deep affection.

When he was down on his luck, Zhou Lin didn't despise him at all; when he rose to power, she blocked who knows how many disasters for him.

His mother and children have all been well taken care of by him.

He can deny face to anyone, but he must give face to his wife.

If his wife says she wants to go see, then go.

Zhou Lin's words also made Zhao Ruoyun swallow the words she had about to say; who wouldn't want their children all around their knees?

Before, the Chen family's reputation did not allow her to do that.

Now the son is the head of the household; since the son says to go, she also doesn't say anything.

Finally, they agreed.

Chen Hong's nervous heart also settled.

She gratefully glanced at Zhou Lin; toward this sister-in-law, she was thoroughly satisfied.

Seeing everyone agree on Yang Qing's side, he let out a relieved breath.

After waiting for the call to end.

Zhao Man Ting's mood, however, turned bad.

"Son, I miss your father."

Yang Qing squatted down and grabbed her hand.

"Mom, otherwise, let's call my father back."

"Really not necessary."

"What's the use of doing all that?"

"He is, after all, my father."

Zhao Man Ting endured her inner discomfort and shook her head.

"That's not the same."

"Betting on multiple sides is the international norm."

"Back then, the Song sisters: one became a white-glove for Yingjiang, one married a foreign head of state, and one became Grandma Song here."

"No one denies them because of their familial relationship."

"Because they acted with propriety."

"Your father stubbornly not coming back is just telling others, we are we, he is he."

"Over there, the organization he painstakingly built will not fall apart."

"Tianyou can also rightfully inherit all his resources."

"If he wants to do it, let him do it."

"Having come this far, it's too late to think about anything."

"Moreover…"

Zhao Man Ting paused, then continued.

"Your father now is just hanging on by his breath."

"We can't ruin his lifetime of hard work."

"Otherwise, he won't rest in peace."

Yang Qing didn't know what to say.

Why bother? Daxia has the advantage; there's really no need.

Little WanDao really can't stir up any waves.

At most, you'll be disgusted.
