"Uncle, Xiao Hong regrets it too.
She also wants to come back, but she's afraid you won't let her keep the child, so she's been staying with me.
There are quite a few girls at my shop, and Xiao Hong gets along well with Xiao Yun and the others. They spend their time shopping and having fun, and they're doing well."
Guo Xuyang said.
"As long as she's doing well. I told you earlier, this child of hers is just stubborn. If there's anything she can't do, please forgive her more."
"Don't worry, Uncle. As long as I have a meal, they won't go hungry, mother and child."
"With those words, I'm at ease. Come, let's have another drink, the two of us."
Guo Xuyang didn't expect Wang Xukun to be such a heavy drinker. The two of them finished two catties of wine.
"Little Guo, how you drink shows your character, and I think you're good." Wang Xukun was already a little drunk.
"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle. Shall we go back? I don't know if you've had enough to drink?"
"I've had enough. I'm happy to have drunk today.
I accept you as my son-in-law. Come by often in the future.
Waiter, the bill."
"Sir, this lady has already paid," the waiter said as he approached.
"How can I let you pay when you've come all this way?
No. Return it to them, I'll pay."
Wang Xukun said, standing up unsteadily.
"Uncle, it's troublesome to get a refund. We're family, so why distinguish between yours and mine?"
Guo Xuyang quickly held Wang Xukun as he spoke.
"You're right, but I really should pay the bill today."
"You gave me your card, so it's only right for me, as your son-in-law, to treat you to a meal, isn't it?
Let's hurry back. Do you want to go back to the recuperation center or home?"
"Let's go home. I've had a bit too much to drink, and your aunt will be annoyed if I go to the hospital."
"Then let's go home. You can ride with me, and you can give directions.
Xiao Yun, drive Uncle Wang's car and follow behind."
"No problem."
"Then let's go." Guo Xuyang helped Wang Xukun as they walked out.
Li Shun hurried downstairs and drove the car to the hotel entrance to wait.
The group arrived at a university faculty residential compound in two cars.
This faculty residential compound had some age to it, likely a product of the 1970s or 1980s.
However, the houses they lived in weren't small, about seventy square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
The rooms were tidied up quite neatly, indicating that the occupants were clean people.
"Sit down, I'll make you some tea." Wang Xukun swayed as he went to boil water.
"I'll do it, Uncle. Please sit down properly." Xiao Yun quickly took the kettle from Wang Xukun and went to boil water.
Wang Xukun's home used a gas stove and an induction cooker, and no water purification equipment.
In an era where everyone emphasized health preservation, they were still using old-fashioned tap water to boil water. One couldn't help but wonder why Xiao Hong's family was so simple.
However, after the water boiled, it was discovered that it was all filtered purified water.
It went without saying that the school had already improved the drinking water conditions for these faculty residential buildings.
The living conditions in universities nowadays were indeed good, with not only high incomes for faculty and staff but also a good learning and living atmosphere.
Xiao Yun even envied Wang Lihong's background a little.
Guo Xuyang and Wang Xukun talked for a long time.
During this period, Li Shun carried the cigarettes, alcohol, and the mutton and beef upstairs.
"Uncle, it's getting late, and I have to rush back today.
When the child has their full month celebration, I'll have them send a car to pick you up.
You should rest now."
"Alright, alright, we'll definitely go then.
Little Guo, you're truly remarkable.
You've built such a great enterprise at such a young age."
Wang Xukun said, giving a thumbs up.
"It's all due to good opportunities. Please take these small trinkets to play with."
Guo Xuyang took out the pendants and handed them to Wang Xukun.
"How can I accept this? I know these things are not cheap.
I'm a geologist, so I recognize these jades."
"These are just small trinkets. When I come back, I'll give you a 'Nine Sons Bringing Blessings' ornament.
I came in a hurry today, and the master worked all night to finish these small trinkets and that pair of bracelets."
"Thank you so much. I won't keep you any longer. Please be careful on your way." Wang Xukun wanted to escort them out.
"Please stay."
As Guo Xuyang left, he glanced at the wine that had been brought up and took away the wine box that had two bottles opened, and then without anyone noticing, replaced it with a new, unopened box.
