Back to 1984: Let's Work Hard Together to Raise The Kids!-Chapter 239: The Xue Family Pays a Visit

Chen Ruiyu decisively shook his head, let out a long breath, and laughed, "As long as it won’t bring trouble upon yourself, however you want to seek revenge, I’ll support you."

Chen Xinyue was deeply moved.

Just as she was about to say something sentimental, she suddenly received a call from Xue Lingxue.

"Xinyue! My parents want to take me to your house to thank you, what is your address?"

Xue Lingxue’s cheerful voice transmitted over.

The siblings vaguely recalled the carefree girl from middle school.

Chen Xinyue’s lips unconsciously curved upwards, "My home is in Nanyu, right by Nanxi. You can drive to the garage at Nanxi and I’ll come to get you."

Xue Lingxue promptly agreed and then ran downstairs to inform her parents.

Mr. and Mrs. Xue exchanged a glance, both somewhat puzzled. Isn’t Nanxi by the river? Are there any affluent families there?

The couple usually frequented the city center and rarely ventured into areas around Nanxi, leaving them bewildered momentarily.

Nevertheless, they took the gift of thanks and instructed the driver to head to their destination.

When the Xue family trio arrived at the Nanxi garage, Chen Xinyue and Chen Ruiyu were already waiting at the entrance.

The three looked at the garage in front of them, with no houses in sight, feeling a bit puzzled.

Chen Xinyue took the initiative to greet them and led them to board the tin boat, "Our home is on an island, so we have to travel by boat to get there."

Xue Lingxue’s eyes widened, "So cool! Oh my god, Xinyue, is your home like Peach Blossom Island?"

"Lingxue!" Mrs. Xue cautioned Xue Lingxue with a glance.

Chen Xinyue immediately linked arms with Xue Lingxue, speaking on her behalf, "Auntie, we are close, we can talk freely, but be careful."

Once they were on the boat, Chen Ruiyu took charge of steering.

Seeing his skilled maneuvers, Mr. and Mrs. Xue were quite intrigued, and Xue Lingxue was utterly engrossed.

Mr. Xue casually asked, "I heard you studied abroad in the United States?"

Chen Ruiyu nodded, "At the same school as Qu Zhiyang, different majors. I studied politics and law in college, and switched to finance in the United States."

Switching majors is not easy, Mr. Xue immediately praised him, "Impressive! What are your plans now that you’ve graduated?"

Chen Ruiyu pondered briefly, then said, "I plan to visit Hong Kong, take advantage of my youth to see more of the world."

"Very good, very good, Hong Kong has developed rapidly over the years, young people with capability, ideas, and drive should definitely seize the opportunity and strive, it’s a good thing!" Mr. Xue admired Chen Ruiyu greatly, chatting casually with him.

Mrs. Xue, meanwhile, was admiring the scenery along Nanxi, pointing at a distant splendid house, "What’s that place?"

Without needing to glance, Chen Ruiyu knew what Mrs. Xue was referring to and gently explained, "That’s our godfather’s villa, they don’t usually live here, but come more often in the summer, so there should be people there now."

Mr. and Mrs. Xue were stunned, pondering the fact that the family capable of constructing such a villa must have an extraordinary status. It seemed the Chen family was even more influential than they had anticipated, and they wondered if the Zhang family had ever given an explanation to the Chen family.

Thinking of this, the couple instinctively turned their gazes to Chen Xinyue, who was happily chatting with Xue Lingxue.

Chen Xinyue, noticing from the corner of her eye, politely smiled at them and continued introducing everything about Nanxi to Xue Lingxue, including the fun places.

The two were truly engrossed in conversation, laughing joyfully.

It was the first time Mr. and Mrs. Xue had seen their daughter so openly bold and carefree, and it was hard for them not to feel touched.

The boat gently approached the entrance.

After docking, Chen Ruiyu and the siblings led them inside.

Mr. and Mrs. Xue were unable to hide their astonishment upon seeing the island scenery.

"Oh my heavens! It really is like Peach Blossom Island! So beautiful!" Mrs. Xue couldn’t help exclaiming.

Xue Lingxue was already flabbergasted, holding tightly to Chen Xinyue’s hand, "Xinyue, your home... is so big! Is all of this yours?"

Chen Xinyue nodded, "The entire island is ours; there’s only one entrance. My grandfather grows grains, vegetables, and fruits on the island, and in the back, he raises chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs. I’ll take you around later; many fruits are ripe now, pick whatever you want to eat."

Mrs. Xue pointed to another building at the back, "Is that another residence?"

Chen Xinyue shook her head, "That’s a gymnasium; my parents specifically built it for us to use. When our cousins lived with us in the past, there were many kids, and we often played ball in the gymnasium.

In recent years, as we’ve gone out for our studies, it’s become a place for my parents, grandfather, younger brother, and sister to use."

"Younger brother and sister? You have so many siblings?" Xue Lingxue asked incredulously, covering her mouth.

She was surrounded by only children, a maximum of two, and had never seen a large group of siblings.

Chen Xinyue contemplated, "Our family has three children, us siblings and our younger brother. My sister is my aunt’s daughter; their family lives in Pingxi Town. My aunt is busy with business, so my cousin transferred her household registration to the city and has been studying in An City."

The Xue family trio suddenly understood.

During the conversation, they climbed the steps.

Lin Yi, who was cooking in the kitchen, poked his head out to greet them warmly, "It’s hot outside, come inside and cool off. I’ve just made some sweet soup for you to try."

"Oh, Uncle, don’t trouble yourself; we’re just here to pay a visit, see Xinyue and Ruiyu. If it weren’t for them, I’m not sure what my daughter would have experienced, no need to busy yourself," Mr. Xue said amiably, chatting with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi’s face was full of smiles, "It’s no trouble, no trouble. We have a large family, and during the summer we cook plenty every day. Wenjun and Ah Qin will arrive soon; meanwhile, you can have some tea."

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of a speedboat came from outside, and everyone stood under the eaves looking towards the entrance door.

They saw Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin entering one after another with bright smiles, walking towards them.

The groups exchanged greetings for a while and then went inside together.

Mr. and Mrs. Xue immediately noticed the photos on the wall first, seeing images featuring foreigners, luxury yachts, and a few familiar faces, growing more and more astonished.

After asking several questions, they praised Chen Ruiyu and the siblings profusely once again.

After the kids went upstairs.

Wang Suling brought up the main issue, "This has been a tumultuous affair, our family spent several days resolving it, and as soon as it was over, I hurriedly brought the child here to express our gratitude. Lingxue mentioned, if it weren’t for your children encouraging her, she might not have endured until returning home.

Just thinking about almost losing my daughter wakes me up at night in a panic, my heart racing; to be honest, I’m not afraid to tell you, I haven’t had a good night’s sleep for a few days, and I have to secretly check on my daughter’s room every night just to calm my mind seeing she’s okay."

Lin Qin noticed the uncontrollable dark circles under Wang Suling’s eyes and empathetically comforted her, "Fortunately, Lingxue didn’t fall into a trap, managed to minimize losses in time; surely her future will be smooth and successful."

"I appreciate your kind words," Wang Suling sincerely smiled, then asked, "Zhang Jingxuan acted recklessly threatening Xinyue; did the Zhang family come to apologize afterwards?"

Lin Qin’s smile faded slightly, lowered her eyes, and scoffed, "Yes! The vice president of the Zhang Group personally went to the TV station with gifts, trying to meet me with my manager. You tell me, should I accept this gift or not?"
