Chapter 859: Departure
While Jiang Mubai was walking with Chen Qi in the yard, Cheng Xiangdi, who was at the Cheng family villa, received a message from his assistant when he woke up from a nap.
They had not completed what Cheng Xiangdi had assigned them, so now he had to go back and deal with the matter personally.
Manman and Wu You had rested a long time ago and were sitting in the living room. It was almost time for dinner, so Wu You was about to go to the kitchen to prepare. She remembered that Cheng Xiangdi was still upstairs and thought that he was still sleeping, so she reminded Manman to go upstairs and wake him up.
In the past, they might not have dared to do this, but after spending these few days with Cheng Xiangdi, they both relaxed a lot after discovering that Cheng Xiangdi had a good temper and did not have the airs of an elder.
After hearing what Wu You said, Manman said she understood, so she put down her phone and prepared to go upstairs to call Cheng Xiangdi.
Cheng Xiangdi was packing his things in the room. He had already bought the plane ticket and would be leaving in three hours, so he had time to pack his things here.
After hearing the knock on the door, he put down his work and went to open it.
Seeing Cheng Xiangdi come to open the door so quickly, Manman knew that he was not sleeping: "Uncle Cheng, you are awake, I thought you were sleeping, it's time to eat later, come down with me?"
"You go down first. I still have to pack my things. I'll go down after I'm done."
When Manman heard that Cheng Xiangdi was packing up, she suddenly became curious. She thought he was packing up because his room was too messy, but after taking a look, she found that Cheng Xiangdi's room was quite clean and tidy.
"Isn't Uncle Cheng's room quite clean? I don't think there's anything that needs to be cleaned up."
"I'm not talking about this. I'm packing my luggage to go back."
"Go back? Didn't Uncle Cheng say that I could stay in the country for a while? Why do you want to go back suddenly? Did something happen?"
"Well, I was told before that I could stay here for a few more days if nothing happened at the company, but something has happened at the company and I need to go back to solve it myself, so I can't stay any longer. But it's not a big deal and I can handle it by myself, so don't worry."
"That's good. Uncle Cheng, have you booked your plane ticket? When will you be returning?"
"The flight is at 8:30 tonight. There are still three hours before the plane takes off. Don't worry, there's still plenty of time."
"You are too anxious, does Brother Chuan know about this?"
"They're waiting for me to go back and deal with it. How can I keep delaying? Besides, I won't be at ease if things aren't handled properly, so I'd better go back early and solve the problem as soon as possible so that I can feel at ease. I haven't had time to tell Yunchuan about this yet. They'll probably be back soon, so we can talk about it when they get off work."
After hearing what Cheng Xiangdi said, Manman looked at the time and knew that Cheng Yunchuan and Shen Siqi were already on their way back.
"There's still enough time. We can have dinner together in the evening and then send Uncle Cheng to the airport."
"It's okay, no need to go through so much trouble. I won't eat. After I pack my things and tell Yunchuan, I'll leave for the airport directly."
"It's still in time. There are still three hours left, so there's plenty of time to eat. Besides, we're not far from the airport, and it only takes about 40 minutes to drive there. If you go to the airport so early, you'll just be sitting there waiting for nothing. After such a long flight, shouldn't you have a good meal at home? The fast food at the airport is expensive and tastes terrible."
"Uncle Cheng, please pack first. In order not to delay your flight, I'd better go downstairs to help Wu You prepare dinner early. This way, we can finish eating earlier and send you to the airport."
Before Cheng Xiangdi could refuse, Manman ran downstairs at full speed.
Wu You was preparing food in the kitchen alone. When he saw Manman coming in, he asked, "Is Uncle Cheng up?"
"You're up, but you're packing up now?"
"He really loves cleanliness! He loves cleanliness so much that he's almost even more clean than you who has mysophobia."
"I'm not packing this. Uncle Cheng is packing his luggage for the trip. There's something at his company that he needs to go back to take care of. His flight back is tonight, so I'm going downstairs to help you prepare dinner. This way, he can finish eating earlier and not be late for the flight."
"Is it so sudden? Then let's get ready quickly. Brother Chuan and Brother Qi will be back soon. We can have a meal together and then send Uncle Cheng to the airport."
"That's what I planned. Brother Chuan and Brother Qi don't know about this yet."
"It's okay, they'll know when they come back."
With Manman's help, Wu You prepared dinner faster than usual. Knowing that Cheng Xiangdi was leaving tonight, she tried to prepare as much sumptuous food as possible within the limited time.
After all the dishes were served, Cheng Xiangdi had already packed up and came downstairs. Cheng Yunchuan and Shen Siqi had not returned yet, but judging by the time, they should be almost home.
Afraid that the two of them would not get off work on time, Manman had the foresight to make a phone call.
Cheng Yunchuan was driving, so it was Shen Siqi who answered the call.
"Manman, why are you calling at this time?"
"Brother Qi, have you and Brother Chuan finished get off work? Are you on your way home?"
"I'm off work, but Yunchuan and I are on our way to the Jiang family villa. Yunchuan said he missed his child after not seeing him for two days, so he drove to see him. I think we'll have dinner here too, so you and Uncle Cheng shouldn't wait for us at home for dinner."
"Is that so? Have you and Brother Chuan arrived at the villa?"
"Not yet. It will probably take another half an hour. What's wrong?"
Shen Siqi realized something was wrong when he saw Manman was speaking so hesitantly, so he took the initiative to ask. Manman had nothing to hide at this time. After all, Cheng Xiangdi was about to leave, so Cheng Yunchuan had to know about this matter anyway. What Cheng Yunchuan would choose later would depend on him.
"It's like this. Uncle Cheng has some things to deal with at his company, and he has booked a flight back at 8 o'clock tonight. I saw that you and Brother Chuan didn't know yet, so I told you two."
"Really? I was wondering why Yunchuan didn't tell me about this. It turns out he didn't know. Yunchuan was driving and my phone was on speaker so he could hear it."
"Okay, Brother Chuan, are you two coming back or are you still going to the Jiang family to have a look?"
"We're going back now."
Without waiting for Shen Siqi to speak, Cheng Yunchuan directly answered Manman's question.
"Don't wait for us to go back for dinner. Let's turn around and go back now. It may take some time, but I will try to drive faster."
"Okay, there's still time. Brother Chuan, you two just need to be careful. We'll wait for you two to come back."
After hanging up the phone, Manman told the remaining two people about Cheng Yunchuan's affairs.
"Since we still have time, let's wait for them and have dinner together later. I estimate that they will only need half an hour to come back."
"If Brother Chuan drives fast, 20 minutes will be enough. Even if we wait for an hour, we still have plenty of time. Don't worry about that. Uncle Cheng has packed his things anyway. We can just send him to the airport after dinner. Now we are worried that the food we just prepared will get cold and won't taste good."
"It's okay. We don't have to eat cold dishes and cold meals every day. Besides, it won't be good if we eat first and don't wait for them. We still have enough time. It's only a little after six o'clock now."
