Chapter 104:
Meng Shuyou packed her things, held the combination lock box, and left the Meng Family without stopping for a moment.
The driver took her to the hospital.
Meng Shuyou got out of the car and walked toward the inpatient department hospital room.
At this time, Shu Man had just woken up from her nap.
The hospital room door was pushed open.
Aunt Xue turned her head to look and smiled, “Yaoyao, you’ve come.”
“Aunt Xue.” Meng Shuyou walked to the bedside, “Older sister, did you just wake up?”
Shu Man rubbed her eyes and nodded.
Meng Shuyou placed the box she was holding on the bedside table.
Aunt Xue asked, “Yaoyao, what time are you leaving tomorrow? Have you packed everything? Did you bring any snacks for the road?”
Meng Shuyou reached out to help Shu Man tidy her sleep-mussed hair, “Ten o’clock airplane in the morning, everything is arranged.”
Mister Pei’s private plane has everything, no need to worry.
Aunt Xue turned and took a can of snacks from the kitchen, “Yaoyao, these are homemade coconut crisps I made myself. Xiao Man loves them usually. Take a can with you too. America probably doesn’t sell these, right?”
Meng Shuyou accepted the kindness, “Okay, thank you Aunt Xue.”
Aunt Xue shook her head, “No need to be polite.”
Meng Shuyou helped Shu Man tie a low ponytail, securing it with a hair tie, “Aunt Xue, you go home and rest. I’ll stay with older sister this afternoon. Trouble you to come again in the evening.”
“Okay, I’ll come early in the evening.”
“Mm.”
Aunt Xue tidied up, picked up her woven bag, and left the hospital room.
Meng Shuyou sat on the edge of the bed and opened the combination lock box.
Inside were some old items: a faded little bear plush toy, a broken crystal ball, a rusted hairpin, a handmade shell bracelet…
She took out the little bear and handed it to Shu Man, “Older sister, do you still remember?”
“This little bear was bought for us by Mother. We each had one. I loved mine so much I wouldn’t let go even when sleeping. Later it was lost by the neighbor kid, I cried so sadly, and then you gave me yours.”
“And this shell bracelet, we made it together by hand. Mother even engraved my name on it, but now it’s not clear anymore.”
Shu Man didn’t understand anything, just found the items novel.
Meng Shuyou took out a necklace from a square jewelry box, with a small crescent-shaped pendant, delicate and exquisite.
It had once been thrown away by Meng Yan, and after finding it back, she locked it in the combination lock box to hide it.
“This necklace was a birthday gift from Mother to me. Older sister, will you keep it for me?”
Shu Man held the pendant and looked at it, responding, “Okay.”
Meng Shuyou smiled faintly and put it on her neck for her.
Shu Man smiled happily.
Meng Shuyou stayed with her until eight in the evening. When Aunt Xue arrived, she instructed, “Aunt Xue, I won’t come tomorrow. Older sister is in your care. Contact me immediately if there’s anything.”
“Okay, don’t worry.” Aunt Xue instructed her, “You take good care of yourself over there too.”
“Mm.” Meng Shuyou hugged Shu Man, “Older sister, I’m leaving. I’ll video call you when I get there.”
Shu Man hugged for a long time and didn’t want to let go. Finally, Aunt Xue coaxed her to go bathe, and Meng Shuyou left.

The next day at ten in the morning, the airplane took off on time from the international airport.
Winnie sat on the sofa in the front cabin, exclaiming repeatedly at the luxurious setup on the plane, “The legendary private plane, and I get to hitch a ride.”
All haute couture soft furnishings, even the carpet underfoot was Hermès.
Zhao Hesong interjected, “You like it? Next time I’ll buy one too.”
Winnie glared at him, “Shut up.”
She hates the rich. Who buys airplanes like buying cabbages, saying buy and just buying.
