ers; evil spirits will follow them until after the disaster has passed.Additionally, the more good fortune a person accumulates, the greater their chances of avoiding such calamities. Conversely, the...Chapter 188: Family Arrival

Although Xiao Yu's body still felt somewhat unwell, it was clear that he no longer faced any serious issues. He quickly got up and washed himself. Looking at his appearance in the mirror, although his complexion was still a bit pale, it could be easily overlooked if one didn't look closely. It seemed like the ginseng had indeed been effective and he also felt some strength returning to him.

After informing Liu Erxi outside the clinic, Xiao Yu left the clinic, standing by the roadside waiting for a taxi. He thought that he needed to hurry up and buy a car; otherwise, it wouldn't be convenient for his mother and others when they arrived at his place.

Today was peculiar; no matter how many times Xiao Yu tried to hail a cab, each one already had passengers inside. Watching the minutes pass by, he still hadn't encountered an empty taxi, even if there was one, it would be quickly taken by someone else before him.

Standing on the roadside, Xiao Yu considered using Wei Jun's car but then thought that his mother and others were too many in number along with a pile of luggage; it might not fit into one car. It wouldn't be appropriate to ask any of them to take a taxi since none of them had been to Shenhai before.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up. He thought, "Right! Isn't there a van in the antique city That would fit everyone perfectly!" With this idea, he immediately called Fangyuan.

Upon hearing that Xiao Yu needed a car, Fangyuan didn’t hesitate and quickly agreed to help.

Less than five minutes after hanging up with Xiao Yu, a Buick van drove out from the back courtyard of the antique city and parked beside Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu opened the passenger door and was surprised to see Fangyuan sitting in the driver's seat. "President Fang, how embarrassing!" he said to Fangyuan.

"Haha, Dr. Xiao, you are too modest! Today, the regular driver fell ill so I stepped in for a while," replied Fangyuan with a light laugh.

Fangyuan noticed Xiao Yu’s appearance and was pleased that things were going as he had hoped since the day Xiao Yu saved General Manager Xiao's daughter. His position within the company had noticeably risen, and now he officially held the title of Vice President in the headquarters. However, his primary responsibility still revolved around managing the antique city.

Of course, Fangyuan chose this path voluntarily; maintaining good relations with Xiao Yu was more crucial than anything else at present. As long as he had this title and maintained a good relationship with Xiao Yu, there would be no limit to his future prospects. Moreover, seeing Jin Xianglin bring Xiao Yu back earlier that morning only reinforced Fangyuan's confidence.

Don't underestimate the position of Vice President; before getting this title, Fangyuan was merely considered a mid-level manager in headquarters and quite low on the hierarchy. But after obtaining the title of Vice President, he became part of the company’s upper echelon.

Fangyuan knew all these changes were due to Xiao Yu's influence; thus, upon receiving Xiao Yu's call for assistance with a car, he immediately sent it over. The excuse about the driver being ill was just an alibi, as the actual driver was currently reading newspapers at home.

"Dr. Xiao, where are we heading" Fangyuan asked when he noticed that Xiao Yu had taken the passenger seat.

"Hehe, railway station! I'm here to pick someone up," Xiao Yu said with a light laugh.

"Got it!" Fang Yuan turned the steering wheel and drove onto the main road, heading towards the railway station.

Upon arriving at the railway station, Xiao Yu got out of the car and quickly ran over to the exit, where he pushed through the crowded exit to look inside the station.

A while later, Fang Yuan hurriedly came over with a piece of paper, panting as he said, "Doctor Xiao, here's your platform ticket!"

Only then did Xiao Yu remember that in his haste, he had forgotten to buy a platform ticket to go to the platform to meet his mother and others.

Xiao Yu took the platform ticket from Fang Yuan’s hand and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Fang!"

After saying this, Xiao Yu didn’t wait for Fang Yuan's reply and rushed towards the exit. At the exit, he showed his ticket to the staff member and ran against the flow of people back to the platform. He estimated that his mother’s train would arrive soon.

The moment Xiao Yu stepped onto the platform, he saw several people standing there with luggage beside them, holding phones as if they were about to call someone; these were precisely his mother and others.

"Mom, Sister," Xiao Yu quickly ran over and called out.

Hearing him, those standing turned their heads around. Seeing that it was Xiao Yu rushing towards them, his mother hung up the phone.

"Mom, Sister, Brother-in-Law, when did you guys arrive Oh! Yunxi, you’re here too" Xiao Yu greeted each of them in turn and then suddenly noticed that Yunxi had arrived with his nephew Lu Yuhang.

Seeing Xiao Yu, Yunxi lowered her head shyly, saying, "I’m on vacation at home. Aunt Xiao and Sister Yu insisted I come along!"

"Hehe," seeing the scene before him, Xiao Yu let out a silly laugh.

"Brother, have I been nice to you How about the surprise I gave you Just for that, your house must have a room for me!"

Seeing his brother's goofy expression, Xiao Yu walked over and poked him playfully, revealing a mischievous smile.

Xiao Jianying smiled seeing her son’s reaction. She was very satisfied with Yunxi; otherwise, she wouldn’t have brought her along this time. Furthermore, knowing her son well, she believed that the two of them had an eighty or ninety percent chance to get together eventually. Therefore, Yunxi's opinions were also important when Xiao Yu was renovating his house.

Xiao Yu left home to go to the deep sea these days, and he often called Yun Xi to chat. Sometimes at night, they would talk on the phone like a couple in love, but Xiao Yu didn't expect that Yun Xi would come with her mother as well.

"Yun Xi, let's go! Let Xiao Yu and Jianhong carry the luggage!" Xiao Yu’s mother beckoned Yun Xi to walk forward.

Seeing four suitcases on the ground, Xiao Yu exchanged a helpless smile with Lu Jianhong before each of them picked up two cases and followed behind the women towards the exit.

"Brother-in-law, how are things going over there" Xiao Yu asked while walking alongside Lu Jianhong.

"Hehe, it's okay. Secretary Wan takes good care of me, and now I’ve basically sorted everything out. When he heard that you were renovating your house, Secretary Wan specially granted me a few days off! Thanks, Xiao Yu!"

Lu Jianhong chuckled lightly. He was very satisfied with his job, although it could be tough at times. This was his ideal career path; after all, the stage in this city was too small for him. With the support of his father, he had no financial pressure, but to achieve his ideals, he needed a bigger platform. Xiao Yu provided him with just that, so he felt deeply grateful.

"Brother-in-law, I didn't really contribute anything here; everything is due to your hard work!" said Xiao Yu.

"Alright, no more talk about it. Brother-in-law understands! By the way, how's everything with you and your girlfriend" Lu Jianhong sighed before asking about Xiao Yu’s relationship.

"Hehe, going well," Xiao Yu smiled as he saw Yun Xi walking ahead with his mother and sister, a hint of happiness in the corners of his eyes.

“Haha”

Lou Jianhong burst out laughing upon seeing Xiao Yu’s smile.

"What are you guys laughing about Aren't you talking behind our backs" Hearing Lu Jianhong's laughter, Xiao Yu’s wife Xiao Yu came over to ask.

"No, darling, how could we dare!" Lu Jianhong quickly replied.

“Hmph, I know you wouldn’t!” said Xiao Yu with a huff.

Saying that she skipped forward. Looking at his wife and son, happiness flashed across Lu Jianhong’s face.

The group soon arrived at the exit where Fangzhuang was anxiously waiting. Upon seeing several figures slowly approaching from afar, he realized they were Xiao Yu's group.

When Fangyuan saw that Xiao Yu was picking up women and children, he couldn't help but be surprised. He wondered if they were members of Xiao Yu's family! Earlier in the car, he was afraid that asking about who he was picking up might involve Xiao Yu’s privacy, so he didn’t ask.

"Doctor Xiao, over here!" Fangyuan shouted to Xiao Yu from among the crowd.

"Mom, I'm over here!" Upon hearing Fangyuan's shout, Xiao Yu quickened his pace and said to his mother.

"Mom, this is Manager Fang of Antiques City. During my time in Shenzhen, he has taken very good care of me!"

"Manager Fang, this is my mom, Xiao Jianying; this is my sister, Xiao Yu; this is my brother-in-law, Lu Jianhong; this is my girlfriend, Yunxi; and this is my little nephew," introduced Xiao Yu one by one.

When Yunxi heard Xiao Yu introduce her as his girlfriend, she blushed slightly. This was the first time that Xiao Yu had formally acknowledged her in such a way.

Yunxi was also very satisfied with Xiao Yu, and both of their parents were pleased with each other’s families. Therefore, her parents wholeheartedly approved of her coming to Shenzhen. After all, it was the custom back home that if there were no objections after an arranged meeting and a period of相處後覺得合適，就應該訂婚了。

But Yunxi felt uneasy in her heart. Although both parties had some feelings for each other, Xiao Yu had never explicitly said anything like he considered her his girlfriend. Moreover, they knew each other through an arranged introduction, so she was afraid that Xiao Yu might have different intentions.

A few days ago, she even heard Xiao Yu's mother calling her own mother and saying that they planned to engage them during the New Year.

Yunxi had been getting along with Xiao Yu for over a week before he came to Shenzhen. Although they often talked on the phone, they hadn't seen each other much in person. Since there was an intention to become engaged, her parents naturally hoped that she and Xiao Yu would spend more time together to get to know each other better, so as not to regret it later when they found out they weren't suitable for marriage.

"Doctor Xiao, nice to meet you! You've raised a wonderful son; truly a modern-day Hua Tuo!" Upon hearing the introductions made by Xiao Yu, Fangyuan extended his hand and complimented Xiao Jianying.

Fangyuan was also at a loss about how to address Xiao Jianying. If he called her aunt, they would be of similar age; if he addressed her as sister, it would make him older than Xiao Yu by a generation. He didn't want to upset Xiao Yu, so the only option left for him was "Doctor."

"Manager Fang, nice to meet you too! My son has been well taken care of," said Xiao Jianying at this moment. Despite her simple clothes, she exuded an air of grace and nobility in every move.

Seeing the dignified appearance of Xiao Jianying, not only did Fangyuan feel bewildered but even Xiao Yu himself was momentarily stunned. He couldn't help thinking: Is this really my mother

Xiao Yu was the first to recover and said, "Let's go, get in the car; it's over there."ck then, they knew it was for the sake of the Xiao family.In the past, because of career advancement issues, they had some resentment towards the Xiaos, but now all such resentment has vanished withou...
