Chapter 101 You're here? Then I'm leaving!

Qiao Runsheng had a complicated mood, "Sister Jiao, I'm going to see the housekeeper."

After saying that, Qiao Runsheng led Dongfang Beinan into the sunshine.

Qiao Runsheng squatted down in front of the steward. It was this illness that made him look 20 years older!

"You look good!"

Qiao Runsheng forced a smile, man! He always has tears in his eyes.

Men are born strong, pretending to be strong is also strong!

The butler's facial muscles moved, and he even smiled.

"This is Xiaobei, we are engaged; I'm sorry, I only let you meet your siblings now."

Dongfang Nanbei looked at the housekeeper and smiled, showing no sympathy for the housekeeper at all. She understood that he didn't want people to feel sorry for him.

The housekeeper smiled hard again. He had a lot to say. Just like Dongfang Nanbei was not as beautiful as the information, he was much more beautiful in person than in the photos, and he felt familiar to him.

"Xiaowen~~" The extremely weak voice was still heard by his daughter, and she hurried to it; Sister Jiao also followed.

"Dad, I'm here!"

The housekeeper slowly reached out and touched his daughter's hair, looked at Qiao Runsheng, and he nodded in understanding.

"Don't worry, we will take good care of Sister Jiao and Xiaowen!"

"Yeah! Just take good care of yourself first..."

Dongfang Nanbei echoed Qiao Runsheng, which made the housekeeper feel at ease when he left.

"You're here? Then I'll leave first. Don't be sad for me!"

When he opened his mouth, he thought he was going to say something stupid. Qiao Runsheng and Dongfang Nanbei had been standing in front of him for a while!

"Dad~~"

Xiaowen cried out to the housekeeper, who closed his eyes with a smile on his face.

It’s really different when you come and when you leave!

When a person falls to the ground and comes to the world, he cries; but everyone is happy.

When a person's life ends and he leaves, he may leave with a smile; but everyone will cry.

That’s it for stewardship!

"Xiao Wen, dad doesn't like us crying. Don't let dad worry. It's a good thing that dad is gone! He doesn't have to suffer from illness anymore. We should be happy for dad."

Those who listened to Sister Jiao's words had their eyes reddened, and they all held back their tears.

"Sister Jiao, my condolences and my kindness!"

Reluctantly, but I still have to say this.

Fate in this world is really wonderful. "I don't dare to leave until you come." It's because you really care about this person that you will wait for the arrival of someone on your deathbed.

They are all happy people. Those who have been waiting have come, and those who should be obedient have heard. Dongfang North and South lamented this feeling.

"Mom, I want to spend more time in the sun with my dad!"

Xiaowen held the butler's hand, which was stiff and still warm, while Sister Jiao held the other hand of the butler, and the three of them quietly enjoyed the sunshine.

Qiao Runsheng and Dongfang Nanbei retreated under the eaves to where Sister Jiao and Xiaowen were. Looking at the family of three under the warm sun, their hearts ached and they shed many tears.

Not only Qiao Runsheng and Dongfang Nanbei were crying silently, but also the relatives and friends in charge who arrived one after another, all shed tears.

The memorial service held by the steward was very simple, and even those who watched him leave were not notified.

The housekeeper is very active in handling the affairs of the Qiao family, but he is really a person who doesn't like trouble; contrary to his name, he doesn't like to meddle in other people's business.

The day after the memorial service was his funeral. From the moment he rushed there to the last moment, Qiao Runsheng helped Jiao Jie and Xiao Wen organize the steward's funeral affairs.

After the funeral, all the other guests and friends left. Qiao Runsheng and Sister Jiao were chatting in the living room, mainly discussing Xiaowen's study abroad.

It was mostly Xiaowen's own idea to go to school abroad, and a small part of it was the support of my supervisor.

He is willing to let Xiaowen go abroad for further study so that he can return to China with skills to support himself and his sister.

Dongfang Nanbei helped Xiaowen organize the manager's study.

Most of the materials in this study room are work case materials. These have been sorted out from the bookshelves, packed and returned to the law firm.

The ornaments that the manager likes on weekdays are packed and sealed.

Xiaowen went abroad to study, so he planned to sell this house. After that, it was hard to say whether Xiaowen and Sister Jiao would come back. Even if they came back, they would still be able to live in a new house.

The new house was bought for Xiaowen to study in high school during the semester. Since he is going abroad, it will be left idle for the time being.

It's just right to put things in this old house.

"Xiaowen"

"Huh? What's wrong with Aunt Xiaobei?"

Xiaowen wanted to call Dongfang Nanbei sister. She was almost 20 years older than Qiao Runsheng, but Dongfang Nanbei was only a few years older than him. Even calling her aunt would call her old.

But in terms of seniority, she was still called aunt, so she was Qiao Runsheng’s fiancée!

"Do you know who the person in this photo is?"

Xiaowen took the yellowed old photo from Dongfang Nanbei's hand and looked at it.

"Let me see……"

The photo shows three good friends, dressed in the style of the Republic of China; the two boys are arm-in-arm, carrying polyester-cotton schoolbags.

Both of them have short hair, but they are also good-looking and have bright smiles.

The girl standing next to her has shoulder-length short hair, a white headband, and a black cloth bag in her hand. She is already looking dewy without any makeup.

Wearing a blue coat, black skirt, white socks and black shoes, she looks like a real student.

This person, looking from the east to the north, looks exactly like me, and his eyes and smile are exactly the same as mine.

"This is my young man, my father's uncle, who is only 5 years older than my dad. My father once told me about this young man, saying that he was like a brother, not like an uncle or a nephew, and he was even like an elder brother.

Always take care of this uncle."

Xiaowen pointed to the boy on the left and said to Dongfang Nanbei.

"My dad has never told me about the other two people, so I don't know them! But Aunt Xiaobei, I think this girl looks a bit like you!"

After Xiaowen finished speaking, he handed the photo back to Dongfang Nanbei. Dongfang Nanbei looked at the photo carefully again. The time shown above was that the photo was taken in October 1966.

"I saw that this photo was taken too early. At that time, my young master must have been a few years older than I am now!"

Xiaowen continued to sort it out.

Turn over the back of the photo from east to west. Generally, there will be a signature on the back of such a photo!

But except for the yellowing, there is no writing at all. Even if there is some writing, it should be faded by time after decades!

Not giving up, she turned the photo over and looked at it from the front, and she really saw the word, the word "good"!

"good?"

"What's good about Aunt Xiaobei?"

"There is a word "good" on this photo, do you know what it is?"
Chapter completed!
