Chapter 896 We are family!
The old tortoise's voice, though slow and leisurely, was incredibly sincere: "Master, we are even more grateful to you for providing us with a divine abode where we can find refuge. This was something we wouldn't have even dared to dream of before… This opportunity is truly invaluable to us. Therefore, we are the luckiest of all!"
The old tortoise was right.
This was Lu Qiaoge's extraordinary encounter, but it was also an opportunity for these creatures, an incredible opportunity. Otherwise, they would just be one of many creatures, possessing intelligence but having no outlet for it.
Every living being has its natural enemies, and humans are no exception.
You never know when a crisis might occur; if you can't avoid it, that's just how it is.
Lu Qiaoge provided them with a blessed grotto, which was their greatest fortune.
When this happens, it's usually the long-lived ones who like to speak up.
The little ones are responsible for happily jumping around and playing around.
Then Da Jin spoke up, saying very emotionally, "Little master, because of you, we are where we are today. We are family!"
Lu Qiaoge nodded with a smile, but spoke clearly, word by word: "That's right, we are family!"
Leaving aside the animals' joy, Old Dong received a call from Chief of Staff Xu, who said that Dong Mingming had accidentally fallen from the building.
Old Dong was momentarily stunned. To say that he didn't love his daughter would be an oversimplification; he loved her very much.
It's just that my family is really...
It's a long story.
That's how things were back then. Although he and Dong Yuanyuan's mother had known each other since childhood, they always argued whenever they were together. She had a short temper, and if he said something wrong, she would start a big fight.
He was often left completely exhausted.
Later... they got divorced. His eldest son went with his ex-wife, and his ex-wife didn't want his daughter, but in his heart he hoped that his daughter would stay with her mother and his son would stay with him.
But since his ex-wife had made this request, he had no choice but to agree.
At that time, he didn't want to remarry; he just wanted to quietly pursue his career.
In fact, given his family's circumstances at the time, it would have been impossible for him to get to know Lian Liying, a girl from the countryside.
However, Lian Liying's second brother was one of his soldiers.
Once, the troops were conducting a field training exercise near Lian Liying's home.
So, Lian Erge warmly invited him. At that time, he was not as high-ranking as he is now, just a platoon leader. He was also young and could not bring a bodyguard with him. He didn't think too much about it and went to his house with him.
Then, he got drunk.
Who would have thought that a woman would crawl into my bed in the middle of the night? That woman was Lian Liying.
Even though nothing happened, he had to accept it.
So far, only Lian's father, mother, and second brother know about this matter.
The way they met was so disgraceful; he hated and resented himself. But what's done is done, and there's no going back in life; nothing can change that now.
But that's certainly not how it's presented to the public.
He had to give this sordid affair a glamorous makeover.
So, despite feeling disgusted, he made up a story about love and affection.
Later, he married Lian Liying, and they had a daughter named Dong Mingming.
Anyway, life at home will just stay the same.
After all, her mother was there to take care of things at home.
Actually, he was relieved.
Then, in dealing with Yuanyuan's issues, Lian Liying, as a stepmother, did a very good job.
Even though Yuanyuan is much older than Mingming, when the two children argue, Lian Liying hits and scolds Mingming. Therefore, the so-called wicked stepmother doesn't exist in his family, so he has nothing to worry about.
Such days are ordinary and uneventful.
In terms of work, one must also be conscientious and do one's best.
But how did this happen?
At this moment, Lao Dong's hand holding the telephone receiver was trembling slightly.
Chief of Staff Xu understood his feelings and sighed, saying, "Mingming hasn't woken up yet, but he's fine otherwise. You should come back quickly; I've already asked for leave for you."
Old Dong then realized what was happening and quickly said, "Chief of Staff Xu, thank you. I'll go back now."
Old Dong was extremely anxious at this moment.
No matter what, they are still my own children.
However, it's quite far from Hokuto; if you drive there, it will take until midnight to get there.
So, after driving for a while, he would make a phone call to find out what was going on.
At this time, Grandma Dong and Dong Yuanyuan both went home.
The house was still a mess, with broken vases scattered all over the floor, and Grandma Dong was both annoyed and distressed.
I can't describe how I feel right now.
She slumped onto the sofa, motionless. Dong Yuanyuan stood there frowning. The window was still open, and the usually tidy living room was now a mess.
Dong Yuanyuan pouted and said, "Grandma, my dad is back. Do you think he'll scold me?"
Then Dong Yuanyuan added, "My dad will definitely scold you too."
Grandma Dong didn't want to talk to Dong Yuanyuan about this, but instead instructed her, "Hurry up and clean up the broken pieces. What kind of mess is this?"
Normally she would have done it herself, but today she was exhausted, scared, and hungry, and she had no energy left.
Dong Yuanyuan didn't move, but said to Grandma Dong, "Grandma, when Mingming comes back, I won't argue with her anymore."
Grandma Dong didn't want to talk about this at all. She waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about this now. I don't want to hear it."
She really didn't want to talk about this topic.
There are so many places criticizing Dong Yuanyuan for this topic, but what about yourself? Aren't you doing the same thing?
Criticizing Yuanyuan is criticizing yourself!
So she didn't want to think about it or mention it.
Unexpectedly, Dong Yuanyuan, who was standing there, seemed a little dazed and said, "I don't know what will happen. She hasn't woken up yet... Grandma, if she doesn't wake up, will she become a vegetable?"
The old lady slammed her hand on the sofa in anger and yelled, "Can't you say something nice? Why are you saying this? I'm telling you, pick up those broken pieces of the vase, what if someone gets hurt?"
Looking at the shattered vase on the floor, Dong Yuanyuan suddenly turned her head and stared intently at the old lady, her eyes filled with anger: "Grandma, this is evidence, don't touch it. When my dad comes back, I'll tell him what happened."
If it weren't for Lu Qiaoge's cat barging in, we wouldn't have argued with my sister. If we hadn't argued, this wouldn't have happened. So, ultimately, it's that stinky, dead cat that broke the vase.
This is evidence we need to keep so my dad can confront Qin Hengzhi and demand an explanation.
Don't we always talk about getting to the root of the matter?
This is the source, the cause, and the fuse!
Grandma, we can't just let this go.
The more Dong Yuanyuan talked, the more she felt she made sense, and her earlier daze disappeared.
That's how things are in the world: if you shift the responsibility onto someone else, then you absolve yourself of any responsibility.
Not only do they bear no responsibility, but they can also rightfully demand an explanation.
