Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

Yafei's exciting news was that Jiang Weiguo was bringing his girlfriend back to visit his family. Although Anjie had never met Bai Hongmei before, she couldn't be happy at all.

"Sister-in-law, this is your new bride's first visit, why don't you tidy yourself up a bit?"

After Dehua returned home, he walked around the rooms and found that everything was the same as usual. Surprised, he asked Anjie.

An Jie's attitude was indifferent, and she snorted lightly, "What new bride? Whether it will work out or not is still uncertain. Besides, this room is quite clean, why bother tidying it up?"

Just then, Yafei rushed back from outside. After hearing Anjie's words, she smiled and said, "Your beloved second daughter-in-law is coming back too. Are you sure you don't want to go and get ready?"

Upon hearing this, An Jie's impatience vanished instantly, and she asked with delight, "You mean Wang Shu? Wang Shu is coming back?"

Seeing Yafei nod with a smile, Anjie grinned from ear to ear, and said reproachfully, "This child, why bother going back and forth on such a long journey?"

"No, her room hasn't been lived in for a long time, I have to clean it up."

Seeing that Anjie was about to make her move, Yafei quickly stopped her, "Why are you in such a hurry? It will be several days before my older sister comes back!"

Dehua, however, was unsurprised and turned to ask Yafei, "Is your second brother coming back?"

Yafei shook her head. "My older sister said he's not coming back; he's staying at school to study!"

Anjie and Dehua looked somewhat disappointed after hearing this, but they still understood and said, "He's busy with his studies, so it's okay if he doesn't come back."

Since Lin Wangshu went to university, Jiang Weidong seems to have become increasingly busy. Although the two are both in Beijing, they rarely see each other.

Since Jiang Weidong couldn't go back during this holiday, Lin Wangshu traveled light and took the train home alone. She managed to get a sleeper berth this time, so the journey wouldn't be too tiring.

After a bumpy ride, they finally boarded the ship back to Songshan Island. Lin Wangshu was about to go into the cabin to rest when she saw a familiar figure on the deck.

"Big brother?" Seeing no response, Lin Wangshu shouted again, "Jiang Weiguo!"

Sure enough, when the man turned around, it was Jiang Weiguo, accompanied by a girl with two braids who was looking at her with curiosity.

When Lin Wangshu approached, Jiang Weiguo was pleasantly surprised. "Wangshu, you're back too! What a coincidence, we even took the same boat."

Lin Wangshu tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ear and glanced at Bai Hongmei teasingly, "Big brother, aren't you going to introduce me?"

Jiang Weiguo slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot." He pulled Bai Hongmei over, a hint of shyness on his face. "This is my girlfriend, Bai Hongmei."

Bai Hongmei lowered her head slightly, looking somewhat awkward, and silently nodded and smiled at Lin Wangshu.

"This is the most beautiful girl in our family that I told you about, Lin Wangshu," Jiang Weiguo then introduced to Bai Hongmei.

Lin Wangshu smiled and nodded to Bai Hongmei, "Hello, we're practically colleagues, so please give me your guidance."

Bai Hongmei seemed flattered after hearing this. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she could only wave her hand in a panic.

Jiang Weiguo, on the other hand, seemed very proud of her, saying, "Then you've got a lot to learn. Xiaobai sings opera very well."

Lin Wangshu glanced at Jiang Weiguo with a smile, "Brother, you are really lucky. Your girlfriend is so beautiful and talented."

Jiang Weiguo grinned from ear to ear, but said modestly, "Not at all, not at all. I can't compare to Weidong, who married the prettiest little sister in our family."

Upon hearing this, Bai Hongmei gave Jiang Weiguo a strange look, then lingered her gaze on Lin Wangshu's face for a moment before biting her lower lip and lowering her head, seemingly unhappy.

Lin Wangshu noticed Bai Hongmei's discomfort and, carrying her bag, said to Jiang Weiguo, "The sea breeze outside is making my face hurt. I need it to make a living now, so I'll go inside first."

Jiang Weiguo nodded, "You go in first. It's Xiaobai's first time on a boat, let's stand here for a while longer."

After Lin Wangshu's figure disappeared from the cabin, Jiang Weiguo suddenly heard a soft sob beside him. He looked down and saw Bai Hongmei wiping away tears.

"Xiaobai, what's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?" Jiang Weiguo was surprised and flustered, and reached out to wipe her tears.

Bai Hongmei just kept crying without saying a word. After Jiang Weiguo coaxed her a few more times, she finally spoke up: "Do you like that Lin Wangshu?"

Jiang Weiguo initially thought he had misheard, but after realizing what he had said, he found it absurd and laughable. "What nonsense are you talking about? She's my sister!"

"She's not even related to me, and she's so beautiful. I don't believe you weren't tempted."

Bai Hongmei's eyes were red-rimmed, and she felt empty inside. She stared intently at Jiang Weiguo, waiting for his reaction.

Jiang Weiguo blushed with embarrassment and anger, but looking at the gentle and frail Bai Hongmei, he still held back his temper and said, "In my heart, she is the same as Yafei and Ya Ning, they are all my own sisters!"

"Besides, she's practically my sister-in-law now. I'm not an animal, why would I like her?"

"You're insulting me by saying that. You've disappointed me greatly!"

This was the first time Bai Hongmei had ever seen him so angry and say such harsh words. She panicked and quickly tried to calm him down, blurting out her innermost thoughts in her haste.

"Weiguo, don't be angry. I'm just too scared. Your family is so well-off. Everyone around me says I'm marrying above my station. I'm also afraid that your family will look down on me, and I'm even more afraid that you won't want me anymore."

"I've heard you mention her before, but I didn't expect her to be so beautiful, and a college student at that. Plus, you treated her so well, so I couldn't help but start having all sorts of wild thoughts."

"It's all my fault, Weiguo. Please understand me, understand my fear and my unease."

In the end, Bai Hongmei turned around, covered her face, and burst into tears.

Her tears, like a bucket of water, instantly extinguished Jiang Weiguo's anger. He softened and raised his hand to comfort Bai Hongmei's shoulder.

"Xiaobai, I like you. You don't need to compare yourself to others. In my eyes, you are the best and most beautiful girl."

"My parents are very nice people. They are not the kind of people who care about social status. You don't need to be nervous or afraid."

Bai Hongmei's unease was temporarily soothed by Jiang Weiguo's gentle words. She gradually stopped crying, and a look of shame appeared on her face.

Seeing that her mood had returned to normal, Jiang Weiguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, subtly changed the subject, and racked his brains to tell jokes to make her happy.

Bai Hongmei finally smiled, and her tense shoulders relaxed.

As the ship's horn sounded, it drew closer to the shore. Jiang Weiguo could vaguely make out his family members standing on the bank, and he excitedly waved to them.

At the same time, he didn't forget to introduce everything to Bai Hongmei in order to ease her nervousness.

"Your mother doesn't seem very happy. There's no expression on her face, and she's not smiling." Bai Hongmei felt uneasy.

Jiang Weiguo didn't seem to care much. Instead, he acted like a child showing off some amazing treasure, saying, "What are you laughing at now? Once we get ashore, my mom will definitely smile at you. She's so beautiful when she smiles."

For some reason, Bai Hongmei suddenly curled her lip in disdain, "Of course, the capitalist's daughter will laugh."

Jiang Weiguo's face immediately darkened. Just as he was about to say something, a cold laugh came from behind him. He knew something was wrong and turned around to see Lin Wangshu looking at them with an unfriendly expression.

"It's over, it's all over," Jiang Weiguo sighed inwardly.
