Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 1112 - 1114: Auntie Still Thanks You

"Aunt Wan, this is all thanks to you."

Xu Nianhua said with a smile, having a newfound understanding of the term stepmother. She once heard many stories about cruel stepmothers who disliked or even abused the children from a previous marriage. But after seeing Wan Hongxing, she realized that not all stepmothers were malicious.

For example, Wan Hongxing is even better than many biological mothers.

"Not really, I’ve been trying for over a decade with no success. Yet, you succeeded shortly after meeting Yicheng." Wan Hongxing chuckled softly. She really liked Xu Nianhua, a smart and kind-hearted girl. Even after becoming the eldest daughter of the Su Family, she didn’t become conceited, which proved her strong and unwavering nature, not easily swayed by outside influences.

Such a girl being with Yicheng is a blessing for him.

"Nianhua, Yicheng listens to you. Talk to him more. Your Uncle Pei is harsh with words, but deep down, he’s always proud to have a son like Yicheng."

Wan Hongxing seized the moment to add, "I’m telling you this because I hope you can help. Life isn’t long, and they shouldn’t leave regrets between father and son."

"Aunt Wan, I’ll try to advise him, but how Brother Cheng thinks isn’t something I can control," Xu Nianhua replied.

Wan Hongxing immediately brightened up and said, "Alright, whether it works or not, Auntie still thanks you."

"By the way, last year your Uncle Pei wanted Yicheng to bring you home for a meal, but it was unfortunate that your Uncle Pei fell ill," Wan Hongxing explained, noting that Pei Guozhong’s agreement had nothing to do with knowing Xu Nianhua was with the Su Family.

"I should have visited Uncle Pei last year," Xu Nianhua recognized the matter and asked, "How is Uncle Pei’s recovery now?"

"Pretty good, he can walk now, but the doctor said he’s getting older and needs more rest. He can’t push himself like he did when he was young," Wan Hongxing sighed. Time spares no one; Pei Guozhong had been toiling in the business world for many years, and now that he’s older, his body couldn’t keep up.

"Knock knock."

Pei Yining knocked on the hospital room door, finally rescuing Xu Nianhua from being overwhelmed by Wan Hongxing’s praise. She really didn’t know how to respond.

"Aunt Wan, we came to see you," Pei Yining entered with a bright smile and said, "Aunt Wan, my brother and I have already sent Yijian to school. Yijian just thinks you have something going on and don’t have time to come home. Aunt Wan, how do you want to tell Yijian?"

"No need to tell Yijian, just say I have to go on a business trip," Wan Hongxing approved of Pei Yining’s approach. Her son is still young, so it’s best to let him focus on his studies.

"Nianhua," Pei Yining greeted Xu Nianhua only then, saying, "Nianhua, both my dad and Aunt Wan like you. When are you going to become my sister-in-law?"

Pei Yining’s playful teasing instantly made Xu Nianhua’s face turn red.

"Whenever, once the Xu Family and Su Family are both in Ningbei, we can discuss the engagement," Pei Guozhong said as he walked in from outside, adding, "Or, we can talk it over in South City too."

Pei Guozhong’s gaze fell on Pei Yicheng. Recently, Yicheng had been managing the Xiyue Hotel exceptionally well, making him very proud and pleased.

Perhaps their way of interacting was wrong in the past.

"Hmm, I’ll bring it up with the Su Family," Pei Yicheng no longer retorted as he did before. Though the father and son were not as close as other families, at least they weren’t rivals at first sight anymore.
