Lu Howard answered readily, "It will probably take at least two weeks. I will rush back as soon as I finish dealing with the affairs here."

"Huo Hua, Xiao Sun has to go on a business trip tomorrow to deal with company matters. I'll ask her to communicate with you on the phone later."

"Okay, let her call me, but I'm very busy during the day, so I'll make time to come after 8pm."

Mother Lu was so happy that she couldn't suppress the smile on her face. "Huo Hua, Xiao Sun spent a lot of money today. She brought me a gift, a very beautiful gold necklace. I like it very much. When you come back from your business trip this time, remember to bring a gift for your goddaughter."

"I am very sure of that!"

After hanging up the phone, Mother Lu carefully reminded, "Xiaoxue, if you have any questions, you can talk to your godfather on the phone after 8 o'clock in the evening. Don't be polite, your godfather is easy to get along with."

"Thank you, godmother..." Sun Xue responded affectionately.

It was this call of godmother that made Mother Lu very happy.

"Mom, it's getting late. You can talk to Sun Xue later when you have time. I'll take her back to the hotel to rest first. She has to go to the airport early tomorrow."

Mother Lu held Sun Xue's hand and said reluctantly:

"Xiaoxue, if you don't want to go back to the hotel, just stay at home. There are many rooms at home. I will ask the servants to clean up your room right away."

How could Sun Xue bother Lu's mother? She politely declined, "Godmother, I won't bother you anymore. I have to pack my luggage when I go back. I will come to see you when I return from my business trip."

Mother Lu did not try to persuade him to stay, and then instructed Lu Tingfeng, "Then take Xiaoxue back to the hotel, and drive slowly on the way."

"How about I call the driver and ask him to pick me up?"

Lu Tingfeng picked up the car keys on the table and winked at Sun Xue, "Let's go, you're already my sister, and you're still so polite. Give me a chance to show my abilities."

"Xiaoxue, go ahead. Tingfeng is right. You were friends before, but from now on you are a family. Don't be polite."

"Then I will... obey your orders respectfully."

Sun Xue followed Lu Tingfeng out with a smile.

"Wait a moment, Tingfeng, it's cold outside, I'll go get Xiaoxue a scarf."

"Godmother, no need..."

Sun Xue wanted to stop her, but Lu's mother had already walked quickly towards the bedroom.

A few minutes later, she had a purple scarf in her hand and walked towards Sun Xue with a smile.

Mother Lu tied the scarf around Sun Xue's neck naturally and said, "This is what your godfather brought when he went on a business trip abroad. It is an international brand designed by the world's top designers. I have never worn it before. It feels very soft and warm. The temperature is low at night. You have just been discharged from the hospital. You must take care of yourself and don't catch a cold..."

Mother Lu said as she expertly helped Sun Xue tie her scarf and tidied up the strands of hair on her forehead. She cast a tender look on Sun Xue's face and said with concern:

"Look at you, your face is so skinny, you should pay more attention to your body and don't work too hard. Wealth and career are not as important as health.

If you have any pressure at work, tell Tingfeng and your godfather. No one helped you before, but it's different now. Let them help you make decisions. After all, they are men and have strong stress resistance. Don't try to handle things alone. You are a woman, understand?"

Listening to these heartwarming words, Sun Xue's vision blurred and she was so moved that she wanted to cry out loud.

Every word that Mother Lu said touched her heart!

She has never experienced what maternal love is. Was what Lu's mother just said a reflection of a mother's love and care for her child?

She felt the sincere maternal love from Mother Lu's loving eyes.

This emotion made her feel warmer, more contented, and more fulfilled than ever before.

"I understand. Thank you, godmother."

Mother Lu sent Sun Xue to the front door and said, "Go ahead, Xiaoxue. If you have any problem, call your godmother."

Sun Xue nodded vigorously, trying hard to control her tears.

As soon as she got in the car, her emotions instantly got out of control.

She tilted her head toward the car window and let her tears flow freely...

The overwhelming happiness came towards her like a spring breeze.

She never dreamed that one day she would enjoy the belated maternal love gift from God.

Now, she has finally realized her childhood dream. Like all children in the world, she also has the love from her father and mother.

Her life is destined to have no regrets!

She wanted to fully enjoy and cherish this belated maternal love.

Beyond the blurred vision is the charming night view of the city under neon lights.

At this moment, she is surrounded by happiness, excitement, and gratitude...

The car slowly drove towards the hotel. Lu Tingfeng held the steering wheel and said meaningfully, "Sun Xue, thank you."

Lu Tingfeng's words pulled Sun Xue back from her great joy, "You thank me? Shouldn't I be the one thanking you?"

"My mother's entire mental state has changed since she met you. Shouldn't she thank you?"

Lu Tingfeng continued, "After my sister passed away, my mother has been in self-blame, guilt and pain for a long time and couldn't let it go. The year my sister passed away, my mother often suffered from insomnia and cried all the time. My father took her to see a psychologist and accompanied her to travel around the world to relax, just to help her get out of the shadow. Later, my mother believed in Buddhism. Many years have passed, and I know she has not completely gotten over the pain. Now, my mother has a goddaughter like you, I believe she will be able to get out of the shadow soon..."

Sun Xue listened silently, her heart filled with gratitude, and she couldn't help crying again.

"Tingfeng, you may not understand my feelings at this moment. Suddenly, I feel that I am the happiest person in the world. From this moment on, I will enjoy the long-lost, deep maternal love for the rest of my life. A child who is loved by his mother is the happiest child in the world."

"I am grateful to God for letting me meet you in such a vast sea of ​​people. I am grateful for your great love that saved my life. I am grateful to your mother for giving me maternal love. I will cherish everything God has given me. I will remember this kindness and if I have the chance, I will definitely repay you."

"Sun Xue, please don't think like that. I, including my parents, love you from the bottom of our hearts. We have never thought of asking you for anything in return. As long as you are healthy and happy, we will be very happy."

The next day.

Zhu Biao flew back to Quancheng City, while Sun Xue and Bach rushed to affiliated schools in other places.

Sun Xue felt refreshed and full of fighting spirit.

I feel really good and the work is going exceptionally smoothly.

In less than a week, Sun Xue and Bach had visited more than half of the schools.

Life on the road is indeed hard. After finishing work and returning to the hotel at night, Sun Xue did not forget to call Lu's mother to say hello.

On the phone, Lu's mother always reminded her to take good care of herself when she was away from home, not to work too hard, and not to handle difficulties alone.

That day, she had just returned to the hotel and taken a hot shower when Lu's mother called her.

Mother Lu's voice on the other end of the phone was a little excited, "Xiaoxue, how is your work going? When will you return to Demon City?"

"It will probably take a few days. What's wrong, godmother?"

"The day after tomorrow is my birthday. Your godfather is coming back, and I'm planning to have you attend as well. You can decide for yourself. If you've finished your work, you can come over."

Sun Xue did not hesitate at all.

"Okay, I'll be back tomorrow night."
