Everyone had found the gifts they wanted to buy, and the group took a flight home in the evening.
Meanwhile, another day had passed in Beijing.
Manman had received a call from her husband, who was in the military, early in the morning to let her know he was safe and that his mission was completed; he said he would probably return home after wrapping things up in the next couple of days.
On the phone, Jiang Yan, the young master, interrogated his wife: "Have you been behaving yourself? Have you caused any trouble?"
Wearing slippers, Manman stretched out her feet, which had several adhesive hemostatic bandages on them, and said somewhat laboriously, "Nothing happened."
"Mhm. I'll be home soon. Your big brother-in-law will be back soon too. You better not provoke him, I'm telling you." Jiang Yan wasn't afraid of his brother-in-law's temper; he was afraid that if the brother-in-law was reasonable and his wife was not, he would have to side with the brother-in-law.
