Chapter 1268 Bottom Line
Ye Qiang turned to look at Fu Chen, "I've noticed you've really changed a lot!"
Fu Chen raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. "Haven't you changed much? You used to always say you'd stay single, never get married, and never have children! But what happened? After meeting someone you liked, you relentlessly pursued her, getting married before I even got married. You're already a father of two! And you've become much more humble, gentle, and mature!"
When his comrades exposed his past, Ye Qiang wasn't ashamed; on the contrary, he was proud. "What I said when I was young doesn't count at all! Because of my parents' situation, I was very pessimistic about marriage. But when I met Xiaoyu, I discovered that there are such lively and lovely girls in the world! Her voice is so clear and crisp, it reminds me of Bai Juyi's poem, 'Large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate.' She's also very interesting; I can't help but laugh when I talk to her!"
"When I faced a life-or-death moment, Xiaoyu was terrified, but because she was my friend and we knew each other, she risked her life to save me! At that moment, she was my fairy!"
Fu Chen smiled and said, "It seems that both men and women enjoy the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress plot!"
Ye Qiang grinned, "Of course! At that moment, I felt that Xiaoyu was a peerless hero who came to save me riding on auspicious clouds! At that time, she was the most beautiful in my eyes!"
Fu Chen listened attentively to Ye Qiang's story, smiling gently, "You've always remembered Xiaoyu's kindness, and that's right! As we get older, our appearances may change, and our feelings may change too, but the connection in our hearts must never be broken!"
Ye Qiang was silent for a moment, "Yes! I've seen many people who, after becoming rich, abandon their wives who had shared their hardships! Those with a conscience will give half of their assets to their ex-wives! But those without a conscience will make them leave with nothing! They won't even take their own children or pay child support! I had a client who was like that. After I found other suppliers, I terminated my cooperation with him!"
"How can someone be so heartless to the wife who bore his children? What kind of bottom line do they have? What kind of conscience do they have? It's only because our company keeps a close eye on things that he doesn't dare to tamper with the products! If we let our guard down, problems will definitely arise!"
Fu Chen was surprised. "Such a person is indeed despicable. People with different values cannot work together! The same applies to doing business! Don't expect him to produce anything of value!"
"By the way! I received letters from the children of my wounded and fallen comrades, thanking us for our help! Reading those heartfelt letters, I felt both moved and heartbroken! Compared to them, we have actually done very little."
Fu Chen paused slightly, thinking of his comrades-in-arms who had fought alongside him. "You may think what you did was insignificant, but it truly helped many people! There are many things I can't do, so I'm asking you for help!"
Ye Qiang nodded, "You're already so busy with training, how could you have the energy for all this? But you married a wonderful wife, Meilan, who's always been very supportive! We've been pushing this forward, and we're helping more and more veterans and families of martyrs! It's only now that I feel the money I've earned has any meaning!"
Fu Chen patted Ye Qiang on the shoulder, "The fact that you can think this way proves that the Ye Qiang who was once hot-blooded, courageous, and daring is still there! It's just that your battlefield has changed! You need more patience and more attention to detail. Let's encourage each other!"
The two comrades, who had shared life and death, walked and talked. Even if there were some difficulties, they both felt they were not a big deal after talking about them!
When they reached the fork in the road, the two bumped fists and went their separate ways home.
Liu Meilan is playing a game with the children, their favorite game being "Eagle Catches Chicks." Liu Meilan is the mother hen, Xu Chongyang is the eagle, and the string of children behind her are the chicks.
Xu Chongyang and Liu Meilan pretended to run in slow motion, matching the short legs of the children behind them. The courtyard was filled with the laughter of children.
The adults sat not far away, watching with smiles.
When Liu Meilan saw Fu Chen arrive, she raised her wrist to look at her watch. "It's time. Time to take a shower and go to bed."
Fu Chen was talking to Grandpa Liu, while Liu Meilan and the nanny bathed the children together. Liu Xiaobao could take a shower by himself. The other boys were all thrown into the bathtub, rinsed with soap and bubbles.
Liu Meilan personally bathed her daughter and Hu Xiaoli, whose hair was a bit long. She dried their hair and applied a lightly scented moisturizing cream.
The nanny sighed, "This moisturizing cream is so expensive, it costs several tens of yuan! And it's only thirty grams. But now the children live well, they use the best of everything."
Liu Meilan looked at the foreign brand moisturizer in her hand and fell into deep thought. This is also a good project! This money shouldn't be made by foreigners forever.
She later had the R&D team research a moisturizing cream suitable for Chinese babies.
"Yes, it was a gift from someone, and it's alright." Liu Meilan smiled, though it wasn't as good as she had imagined. The child's skin was naturally good, delicate and rosy.
Healthy, practical, and effective are the fundamental requirements for children's moisturizing cream. Liu Meilan decided to conduct testing before making her own moisturizing cream.
After tidying up the children, Professor Xie told Fu Ying and Fu Hai a story today. While the children were distracted, he took the opportunity to wave to Liu Meilan, telling them to leave quickly.
Tonight, Professor Xie will help take care of the children. Liu Meilan and Fu Chen are going home for a reunion; absence makes the heart grow fonder, so they don't want the children to disturb them. Besides, they're leaving together tomorrow morning to go to the city airport to pick up Madam and Grandpa Fu.
Liu Meilan smiled slightly, stepped back, took Fu Chen's hand, greeted her grandfather and two sisters-in-law, and left with light steps.
Mi Xiaonan sighed, "Our Meilan and Fu Chen have such a good relationship. Ever since Fu Chen came home, although he chats with his grandfather, he looks at Meilan and the children every few seconds."
Wang Miaoxiang covered her mouth and laughed, "Didn't you see that your mother-in-law is creating opportunities for the young couple to be alone? Absence makes the heart grow fonder, their relationship will be even better tomorrow!"
Mi Xiaonan chuckled, "Second sister-in-law, I noticed you seem to really dote on Second Brother, unlike before. Do you have any clever tricks up your sleeve?"
Wang Miaoxiang nodded and whispered in Mi Xiaonan's ear, "Of course..."
Wang Miaoxiang told Mi Xiaonan everything she had learned from Liu Meilan and Tang Xiaoyu. The previously poised and confident Mi Xiaonan instantly blushed.
"My God, are you all... are you all this wild and unrestrained?" Mi Xiaonan asked shyly in a low voice.
Wang Miaoxiang smiled lightly, "Anyway, it works quite well. A harmonious life starts in bed. You're pregnant now, so it's not suitable for you to listen. After you give birth, I'll help you recover. When you reunite with Lao San, I'll give you a few sets of armor!"
