Chapter 789: Chapter 789: Her Wish Fulfilled

“You’re such a grown man yet still don’t have a partner. No wonder you’re hurt with no one to care for you, and your body is failing at such a young age…”

He JianShe couldn’t help but cough.

How could he forget that there are no secrets in front of his father, an old Chinese medicine doctor?

Even his father, in front of outsiders, talks without a filter.

He JianShe awkwardly touched his nose and invited them into the house.

“I’ve tidied up the house. Junior Sister, I’ve heard from Wensong about these years. Thank you for taking care of my dad.”

Lin Chuxia smiled and said, “Senior Brother, you’re too polite. Speaking of taking care, Master actually didn’t ask much of me these years. Instead, he helped me a lot.”

From the time she met Old Master He, she didn’t have any expectations, thinking only that she couldn’t bear to see a father so eagerly waiting for his son’s return, only to end up with nothing, leaving this world in despair.

Now that Old Master He has reunited with his son, her wish is fulfilled.

Moreover, Old Master He has helped her a lot over the years. If not for him, she and her mother might have missed out.

He JianShe just thought she was being modest, “Even if I don’t thank you on my dad’s behalf, I must thank you myself. Please forgive my sudden departure, I was really compelled to leave that day.”

It turns out he had a mission that day and was about to complete it when something went wrong and his identity was exposed.

He barely managed to break through encirclement but was severely injured and, in a moment of despair, encountered Lin Chuxia and the others.

He was thinking that as long as he delivered that letter, he could die without regret.

After all, who wouldn’t want to avoid such a bloody mess?

He even felt that Gu Peng’s attitude at that time was exactly how a bystander should behave.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chuxia insisted on saving him.

When he woke up, he was on the floor of the guesthouse and saw the man on the bed.

He could feel that the man didn’t want to get involved with his trouble, so after expressing his gratitude, he left the guesthouse, supporting his injured body.

Later, he found the organization, completed the mission, and received proper treatment.

After everything settled, he returned to that guesthouse, but Lin Chuxia and the others had already left.

Using his position, he found out that Lin Chuxia and the others came from Ancheng County and were heading to Qingyuan County.

At that moment, he recalled the familiar accent he heard when seeking help from them.

He intended to slowly search for his benefactor upon returning to An City, but unexpectedly, they met so soon.

Old Master He couldn’t help but sigh, “Chuxia is truly a benefactor for us both. If not for meeting her, who knows if you’d ever see this old bag of bones again on your return this time.”

He JianShe solemnly confessed to Old Master He.

As it turns out, years ago, something happened at home, and Old Master He was taken away, and shortly after, He JianShe was too.

He was assigned to the Northwest for construction, where he worked hard and earned several merits, gaining a chance to join the organization.

Being a soldier was He JianShe’s dream since childhood. He thought with his background, he would never become a soldier, so how could he miss this opportunity?

After joining the military, he wanted to share the good news with his father but received no reply to his letters.

Later, the Southern war broke out, and he went to the battlefield.

After the war, he returned to the country but received another special mission.

To erase his identity and infiltrate the enemy ranks.

Thus, he lived a life in anonymity, a decade of living neither as a ghost nor as a man.

With the completion of this mission, he delivered a satisfactory answer for both the organization and himself.

While He JianShe talked about these things, no one interrupted, and Old Master’s eyes welled up with tears several times.

He spoke lightly of it, but having actually experienced it, whether on the Southern battlefield or during his days as an undercover agent, they probably couldn’t even imagine the hardships.

“Are you leaving again now that you’re back?”

Old Master He, holding his hand, reluctantly asked.

He JianShe smiled, holding Old Master’s hand in return, “No, I’m demobilized. I’m not going anywhere. I’ll stay here and keep you company.”

Despite hearing what he wanted, Old Master He still pouted proudly.

“What do I need your company for? You, a single man, accompanying me, a single old man? If you want to come back, then find me a daughter-in-law quickly, have a grandson or granddaughter, so I have something to do in my old age.”

He JianShe felt his head spin and looked helplessly at Lin Chuxia.

Old Master He said directly, “Don’t look at your junior sister. Her husband is sitting right next to her. Their little Qi Qi is so adorable. By the way, go buy some gifts, and I’ll take you to visit your junior sister’s house. Her mother is there, and you can see your little niece, and it’ll make your eyes burn with envy.”

Putting the envy aside, his son must have been too silly from his time in the army, not finding a wife at his age.

Little Qi Qi is so cute, anyone would be fond of her. When the time comes, let his clueless son have a good look.

If he wants such an adorable daughter, he needs to find a wife, right?

He JianShe, amused yet exasperated, said, “Fine, I’ll go tomorrow.”

After talking for quite some time, it was almost noon.

The kitchen hadn’t been in use for a long time, and all the seasonings had expired, so they decided to eat out instead.

These years, Ancheng County has developed quite well, with a few well-regarded restaurants in addition to modest eateries like Qin’s Buns Shop.

Lin Chuxia and the others chose a place near Old Master He’s house.

The joy of reuniting after so long needed to be celebrated with some wine.

They drove back, and Lin Chuxia wanted Qin Yang to drink some with Old Master He and He JianShe, but Qin Yang passed the chance to Lin Chuxia, choosing to drive instead.

Qin Yang knew Lin Chuxia’s drinking capacity was even better than his.

While a little drinking is good for the mood, he didn’t mind Lin Chuxia drinking as long as they were with their own people, even if it meant getting drunk happily without harming their health.

Lin Chuxia appreciated Qin Yang’s gesture, ordering him a soft drink, and ordered a bottle of white wine for herself, her master, and Su Wensong.

At the dining table, everyone became more familiar with one another.

Speaking of He JianShe’s future plans, Old Master He took the lead.

“I’ve already given the courtyard to your junior sister. If you want to stay here, talk with her, or go and buy your own house.”

He JianShe hadn’t expected to find the house gone after just a few years away. He didn’t mind the courtyard, but seeing how his father favored his junior sister, he instinctively glanced at her.

Lin Chuxia held back a laugh, knowing exactly what Old Master He was scheming.

She clinked glasses with He JianShe before speaking gently, “That was just something Master said offhand once; you don’t need to take it to heart, Senior Brother. I live with Qin Yang in Yan City now. Even if we return to An City, our place is in Qin Family Village. This will always be your home. Even if it hasn’t been lived in for years, there’s no one to tidy up. Once we’re done eating, with everyone here today, let’s help tidy up the house for you.”
