"Indeed, indeed. Let’s give her some applause." Zhu Shun Yao pretended to clap for Zhu Yanyi. Cheng Baokun, standing nearby, chuckled. "Ani, you’re going abroad in the first half of the year. Are you scared?"
Zhu Yanyi blinked her eyes. "They won’t have an extra nose or an extra eye compared to me. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Exactly." Zhu Zhibin spoke up from the side. "Even though it is a foreign country, we can show them that we Chinese are not easy to bully." He finished by clenching his fist and striking a pose, looking very tough.
Zhu Yanyi gave Zhu Zhibin a thumbs-up. "Doumiao, you’re great. The great man said, all reactionaries are paper tigers."
"That’s right." Zhu Zhibin looked very proud. Cheng Baokun rubbed Zhu Zhibin’s head. "This boy. I still remember how small and soft he was when he was born. Now he is so big. It seems we are all getting old."
"Brother Baokun, how old is this child now? How many years have we been godparents? To be honest, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have reached where I am today," Zhu Shun Yao said with a smile.
Cheng Baokun waved his hand slightly, disagreeing. "That’s not right. If you say that, then our Cheng family owes your family a favor." Cheng Xu was now the mayor of a small town. It was rare for someone so young to hold such a position. Although it was a small town, it was developing and likely to produce good results. Basically, his promotion was certain. Cheng Baokun knew that Cheng Xu had this opportunity because of Yan Aohan, and Yan Aohan gave him the chance because of Zhu Yanyi.
So, although the Cheng and Zhu families had become godparents, the Cheng family benefited greatly. In fact, the Cheng family benefited more than the Zhu family. Therefore, the Cheng family actually owed the Zhu family quite a bit.
Zhu Yanyi naturally understood what Cheng Baokun meant. She smiled. "What are you saying, Godfather? What’s the difference between our two families being like one family? Look at you. Do you think there is a difference between us?"
Hearing this, Cheng Baokun pointed at Zhu Yanyi and laughed heartily. "Yes, yes. Ani is right. We are one family. Why talk about two families?"
Cheng Baokun said this because he worried that the Zhu family was rising rapidly. Although the Cheng family had a thicker foundation, looking at the Zhu family’s speed, they might not catch up in the future. He feared the two families might become distant because of this. Now, he realized he had worried too much.
On the morning of the eleventh day, Li Zhi drove a small minibus over. He took Zhu Yanyi and her two siblings, along with bodyguards like Luo Gang. Zhu Shun Yao and others also came to see them off. The car was quite full as they arrived at Yaoshi Railway Station.
Only after seeing Zhu Yanyi and the others onto the train did Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian leave reluctantly.
"Wife, I will work harder when we go back. I hope to reunite with Ani and the others in the capital soon," Zhu Shun Yao said to Xie Xinlian, watching the train disappear. He didn’t like this separation either.
Xie Xinlian patted Zhu Shun Yao’s hand and nodded. "Good. Let’s go back and prepare. We will work hard to settle in the capital soon." With this idea, the pain of parting lessened for them.
Zhu Yanyi and her group did not encounter any more incidents this time. After three days and nights, they arrived safely in the capital. As soon as they got off the train, they saw Yan Aohan.
