Rebirth: 1977

It was already one o'clock in the morning when Li Lanping sent Ye Yiling, the old couple Wen, Wang Xijing, and the Yun brothers and sisters to the Yuntianshuise Hotel.

Ye Tianshui and Xia Zijian were waiting in the hotel lobby with Chen Jun, Xu Zhen and several of their men.

Zi Lan originally wanted to wait for her mother and Ye Tianshui's grandparents, brothers and sisters, but Ye Tianshui sent her back to her room to rest.

“Your body is not suited to staying up late while taking care of the kids, just go to bed.

Mom, just have my brother and I waiting for you.

When they arrived, they had to take a rest and had no energy to talk.

This time mom and grandpa and grandma are here, let them stay with you more, there will be plenty of opportunities to talk."

Chen Xingwang was also driven back by Ye Tianshui to rest: "You are in charge of this hotel, there are so many things to do, I can't trouble you with these things.

They will stay here for a while, and you will need to take care of them later."

As soon as a minibus arrived at the gate, Ye Tianshui and his friends went out to greet it.

"Master, I have lived up to your expectations. I have brought Madam Xia, Grandpa Wen, Grandma, and Master Yun and Miss Yun to safety."

Li Lanping jumped out of the passenger seat with great energy and reported to Ye Tianshui.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Tianshui thanked him, and the person in the driver's seat jumped down and greeted him politely:

"Hello, Mr. Ye! It's been a long time since we last met."

Ye Tianshui paused as he tried to open the car door. He stood up and turned around to look over. A hint of surprise appeared on his face. He smiled and said:

"It's been a while since we last met. I didn't expect Manager Li to ask you to help me pick someone up.

Thank you, Director Li! "

The person who came was Li Guanghui, the current director of the Yangcheng Public Security Bureau!

Since his predecessor Chen Lirong committed suicide out of fear of punishment, he took over the position of director from the position of deputy director.

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

It's unusual for me to be here today.

He glanced at Li Lanping meaningfully. Her radiant face was filled with smiles. Seeing Ye Tianshui looking at her, she pursed her lips, turned sideways, and nodded slightly.

He immediately understood.

These two people have a close relationship!

Ye Tianshui naturally would not suspect that they were engaging in an improper relationship between men and women.

Others may not be aware of his style of doing things, but how could Li Lanping not know it?

Besides, Li Guanghui was so confident and upright that he dared to run in front of Ye Tianshui to show off. Wasn't it just to make it official? To show that they were in a "legitimate" intimate relationship.

Ye Tianshui felt relieved that this woman who had suffered so much in the first half of her life had finally found a good home.

"It looks like you two are getting married soon. The day after tomorrow is my youngest son's 100th day party. If you have time, Director Li, please come over for a drink."

He remembered that Li Guanghui had once asked him about Yunzhe and said that he had once served as a soldier under him.

They must have been in contact later, because Yunzhe’s children and parents-in-law were in the car.

Thinking about it this way, it makes more sense.

So he invited.

As for whether the other party knew about his relationship with Yunzhe, it didn’t matter at all.

"Congratulations to Mr. Ye on the birth of his son! It is my honor to be invited by Mr. Ye. I will definitely come and ask for a glass of wedding wine."

Li Guanghui agreed immediately.

Yun Feiyang and Yun Yueyue had already opened the door and jumped out of the car, shouting happily:

"Brother, we are here. Where are my sister-in-law and my two nephews and nieces? And where is my little nephew whom I have never met?"

"Stop messing around. Don't you see what time it is?"

Feiyang pushed his sister aside and shouted with a smile: "Brother, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting until now.

My sister-in-law and the children should be asleep, right?"

Ye Tianshui hugged them gently and said, "They are all asleep. I'll see them tomorrow." He reached out to help the old couple Wen and said, "Grandpa, grandma, you must have had a hard time on the road."

He looked up at Ye Yiling and Wang Xijing who were about to get off the car and shouted:

"Mom. Uncle and grandpa, you have worked hard."

"Xiao Shui, we didn't feel tired at all. We slept comfortably on the train and took another nap on the bus coming here."

"Child, you are the one who has suffered the most. We didn't think carefully when we bought the tickets, so you have to wait until now."

The old couple each held Ye Tianshui's hand. Under the dim light, the two old people were smiling with wet eyes.

Wang Xijing came forward and said, "And me, Xiaoshui, your uncle is here to see you."

Ye Tianshui smiled and said, "Uncle, I've booked a suite for you so that you can take care of each other."

"Okay, okay. I used to work outdoors a lot, and I slept in tents most of the time. Sometimes I had to sleep outdoors, so having a bed was good enough.

I’m not picky at all.”

Wang Xijing often went out with the archaeological team, and the places they went to were all remote and wilderness, so the conditions must have been very difficult.

Xia Zijian grabbed his mother and said, "Mom, my little sister and the children have all gone to bed. Xiaoshui said that you are tired from the journey, so you should have a good rest first.

You and Xiaoshui's grandparents can stay here for a while longer, just to keep them company."

"Brother, your restaurant is so big. Such tall buildings are rare in Beijing."

Yueyue looked up at the hotel hidden in the night and said with emotion.

Hearing about it is one thing, seeing it is another.

"Come on, I'll take you to your room. Yueyue, you'll be a senior soon. Will coming here delay your studies?"

"It won't affect me. I am in the review stage now. I brought my textbooks with me and kept reviewing on the train. My second brother also gave me questions.

Big brother, you don’t know that my second brother deliberately makes things difficult for me, and the questions he gives are all things you will learn in the senior year.

Help me teach him a lesson."

"How is it difficult? Haven't you already done it?" Fei Yang retorted.

Ye Tianshui just smiled and said nothing. He was happy to see that his younger brother and sister had a good relationship.

Before entering the elevator, Ye Tianshui reminded:

"Everyone, open your mouth wide. The elevator goes directly to the top floor. It rises too fast, so there might be some reaction. Don't worry."

The old couple Wen and Wang Xijing were arranged in the same suite, and the Yun siblings originally wanted to arrange a suite with Ye Yiling.

But since Xia Zijian wanted to stay overnight, he arranged a suite for each of them.

There are only Li Lanping and Li Guanghui left. Ye Tianshui doesn't know how far their relationship has progressed?

He called Li Lanping aside and asked directly: "Are you going to arrange a standard room? Or two single rooms?"

Li Lanping said calmly:

"Sir, although we have that intention, we will not proceed to that step without your approval.

I asked him to come here today just to let him meet you. If you agree, we will go back and get the certificate."

Li Guanghui followed over, nodded repeatedly, and explained sincerely:

"Mr. Ye, please agree to my proposal to Lan Ping. You can ask Chief Yun about my character.

My wife died giving birth, more than ten years ago.

At that time, I was in the army, and she lived with my parents in my rural hometown. Our family conditions were poor, and she was not sent to the hospital in time when she gave birth. In fact, few women in our hometown went to the hospital to give birth.

The result was one corpse and two lives.”

Li Guanghui paused. Li Lanping must be aware of all this. She looked at Li Guanghui quietly.

He smiled faintly and continued:

"Over the years, I had no intention of remarrying, until I met Lan Ping, my heart slowly warmed up again.

We have known each other for two years and have been officially dating for more than half a year. I proposed to her several times, but she always refused.

This time I finally have hope.”

Ye Tianshui smiled faintly at Li Lanping and said, "If I don't nod, you won't agree to get the marriage certificate with him?"

Li Lanping nodded without hesitation:

"Yes, if you don't agree, I will reject his proposal."

"Lan Ping..." Li Guanghui anxiously pulled her clothes.

"Why? Didn't you say that you all had that intention? Why do you care about my opinion?" Ye Tianshui asked calmly.

Li Lanping lowered his eyes and said: "I have no confidence in my ability to judge people, so I trust your vision, sir.

If you don't nod, he must have his reasons for not letting you pass.

I don’t want to make the same mistake over and over again.”

Ye Tianshui looked at Li Guanghui and said seriously:

"Director Li, I believe you have understood Sister Li's situation, and your decision to propose to her is not a whim.

I hope you will cherish her. I am willing to give you my blessing and wait for your wedding wine."
