Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Happily Ever After
Seeing the previously arrogant and domineering old lady turn into this, Liu Zheng honestly felt a bit unaccustomed.
He gave an awkward smile and then clinked glasses with her.
"It’s all right, it’s all right, now that everything has been resolved, there’s nothing to worry about anymore."
Soon, the person in front of him continued to speak.
"Although it’s indeed resolved, no matter what, I will definitely keep all that you’ve said deep in my heart."
And quickly, Li Yanling and Xiao Kai also poured a glass of wine.
They immediately came over to Liu Zheng.
Truth be told, Liu Zheng really helped them so much, helped their family so much.
If it weren’t for Liu Zheng, they might have already met with calamity.
They had substantial conflicts and numerous issues with each other.
It was all thanks to Liu Zheng that previous issues were resolved, and still, due to Liu Zheng all problems were settled.
So at this moment, they too immediately began to speak.
"Whether it was before or now, we are very grateful to you, and we hope that we can maintain this friendship in the future. I cherish it a lot."
After Li Yanling said this, Xiao Kai continued.
"Yes, Uncle Liu, I really like you and really thank you. No matter what, I hope we can continue like this in the future."
Seeing them say this, Liu Zheng also immediately laughed and clinked glasses with them.
"Of course, no problem."
No matter what, he found being together with everyone quite entertaining.
And honestly, Li Yanling really gave him a different feeling.
Soon everyone returned to their seats.
"Alright, alright, stop thanking me. Let’s talk about something happy and enjoy our meal together."
Hearing this, everyone immediately nodded with laughter.
For them, having such a change was truly a cause for joy.
Before this, they didn’t even know how to cope or face many situations, often relying solely on their subjective judgments.
Even the old lady herself nearly lost her life.
All of it was thanks to Liu Zheng, he was indeed their lifesaver.
Thus, faced with such a situation, they naturally knew exactly what they should do.
At this moment, Xiao Kai seemed to have reconciled completely with his grandmother, talking to her about recent events at school.
When the old lady heard this, her heart filled with happiness.
The past couple of days had really been tough for her.
She realized that Xiao Kai, once very close to her, now didn’t like her at all and even had wanted to kick her out of the house.
But now she knew it was her fault, she had been too much.
Now that there had been such a significant change, she cherished and appreciated it deeply.
As everyone enjoyed their meal and chatted, suddenly Liu Zheng’s phone unexpectedly began to ring.
He glanced at the phone and saw it was an unknown number.
This caught him off guard, unsure who it could be.
But he was having dinner now, and with the atmosphere being so harmonious, he didn’t want to spoil the mood.
So, he immediately hung up the phone, planning to continue the conversation with everyone.
Unexpectedly, not long after he hung up, the phone rang again, causing him significant confusion.
"What’s wrong? Is something the matter? Maybe you should go outside and take the call."
Li Yanling noticed his situation.
He nodded slightly at her words, then immediately stood up and went outside to answer the call.
To his surprise, after answering, he recognized the voice on the other end as somewhat familiar.
"Hello, is this Mr. Liu?"
After reflecting on it for a moment, he finally realized it was Huang Xiaoxiang.
What did she want by calling him, especially at such a time?
He immediately confirmed his identity.
"Yes, I am Liu Zheng. What’s the matter? Is this Teacher Huang? Do you need something?"
Hearing this, Huang Xiaoxiang sounded a bit embarrassed as she spoke.
"Well... you know how to change a lightbulb, right? The bulb in my house is broken, I was wondering if you might be free..."
At this moment, she felt extremely conflicted, unsure if the excuse she found was good enough, but after saying it she regretted it a bit, feeling that her excuse was rather lame.
Liu Zheng paused upon hearing this.
But then he quickly realized what Huang Xiaoxiang meant.
Truth be told, Huang Xiaoxiang had been missing him dearly during this time.
At first, she thought perhaps to treat all that had happened as a dream, to keep it in her mind and move on.
But later, she found herself thinking of Liu Zheng’s face and the events of that day every night.
She couldn’t take it anymore.
After days of torturous waiting, she finally made such a call.
But hearing no reply from the other side made her heart sink. Was her intent too obvious, making him resist?
Just as she was about to shift the topic, Liu Zheng responded immediately.
"Sure, where’s your place? Send me your address. I’m having dinner right now, I’ll come over after I finish."
Expecting Liu Zheng might refuse, she didn’t anticipate his agreement, which filled her with immense happiness.
Her eyes instantly lit up with joy as she nodded.
"Good, no problem, I will send you the address right away. There’s no rush, take your time."
Quickly, Huang Xiaoxiang gave Liu Zheng her address.
After that, they hung up the phone.
Once the call ended, Liu Zheng didn’t hurry back in but stood at the doorway, pondering deeply.
As a man, how could he not understand what this young woman, Huang Xiaoxiang, was truly thinking?
She clearly missed him, otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such a call.
Honestly, knowing this made Liu Zheng’s heart swell with joy.
