Chapter 423 Arranging for Zhou Xiang
"But when you're all off to work, what is mom supposed to do following you around? Forget it, I won't go. You don't have to worry about me, I can manage on my own for a few days."
"No way, how could that be okay? You absolutely must come. If I leave you at home by yourself, I definitely won't feel at ease."
"Oh my, what's there to worry about?"
"No, no, I must hurry and pack."
"But what will I do there if you're all working?"
"Don't worry, since he asked me to bring you, he surely has arrangements made."
"Sigh, this young man, he really is a good person. Right, you told me yesterday that he gave you 20,000 yuan just like that, he hasn't even started working, and he already gave you this month's salary?"
"Yes, I was also surprised. Anyway, he gave so much all at once. Anyway, your daughter is now well-off so you can come with me, it'll be like taking a trip, sightseeing by the mountains and waters. After all, we haven't gone out together for so many years."
"Sigh, if you put it that way, indeed, it's about time for a good trip, to travel and ease our minds."
The old lady didn't think too much of it. Since it was her daughter's decision, she naturally wouldn't object to it.
After about 40 minutes or so, the doorbell rang outside.
He knew that by this time, Lin Yi must have already arrived. Fortunately, the things they were taking weren't too many.
"How's it, are you all packed?"
"Don't worry, everything's packed, I can leave at any time."
After hearing this, Lin Yi nodded, then went into the room inside.
"Auntie, are you all ready?"
Now, he seemed to talk more to her mother than to Liu Yao.
"Yes, yes, look, I was just telling Yaoyao. Here you are off to handle serious business, and you have an old fogey like me tagging along, what's that about? It seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it?"
"Oh Auntie, what's inappropriate about it? This time I'm taking you out for the express purpose of relaxing and sightseeing in the small town, staying there for a few good days, while I'm off attending to my own affairs. Don't worry, most of the time it will be Liu Yao keeping you company."
"Ah, her, isn't she supposed to be busy following you guys?"
"Hehe, she naturally has her own work to do, but her job is very simple; it can mostly be handled from home. So don't worry about it, I've already made the arrangements on my side."
"I'm really sorry, young man, dragging you down with me being sickly like this, it's truly troublesome for you."

"Auntie, what are you talking about? And this trip is also to help with treating your health. This way, you being by my side, I can keep an eye on some effects of the treatments at any time."
"Well, if you say so, that makes sense."
"Alright, if everything's ready, I'll carry you to the wheelchair now, and then push you downstairs."
"No, no need, I can... I can manage on my own, and..."
Before Liu Yao's mother could finish speaking, Lin Yi stepped forward, reached out, and picked her up directly onto the wheelchair.
After that, the group of them set off, taking a car straight to Xi Lian Mountain.
Along the way, the scenery could be said to be very beautiful.
Perhaps the old lady hadn't been out for the many years, she was curious and continuously watched outside the window, never turning her head away.
Lin Yi, sitting at the front, would occasionally listen to the mother and daughter chatting and laughing behind him.
Lin Yi immediately felt that his mood had indeed improved a lot.
Finally, after three hours, they arrived in the small town.
Although it really wasn't very large, it had a unique local culture and customs; the buildings here were all styled in antique architecture.
Hei Lang and Ling'er had been waiting here early on.
He knew that Lin Yi had brought two additional people this time, and he had already briefed both of them over the phone.
"Big brother, you finally arrived, we've been waiting here for a long time."
"The trip was relatively smooth, although there was a traffic accident on the way that held us up for quite a while. Otherwise, we would have arrived much earlier. Auntie, please get out of the car."
As he spoke, he turned and carefully moved her from the car to the wheelchair.
"My, this environment, this is really nice. And look at that, isn't that a big mountain over there?"
"Yes, there are mountains all around us, and this place is practically at the foot of the mountain."
"That's so nice, and coming here, I can feel that even the air has a fresh scent."
"Is the room already arranged?"
"Don't worry, everything is ready. Because she has trouble walking, we arranged a room for her on the first floor."
"Good, Auntie, I'll take you to your room first, and then I have some other matters to attend to."
"No need, no need, with Yaoyao's help, I'll be fine."
Even though she said this, Lin Yi was resolute in pushing Liu Yao's mother into the room.
Though it was a small inn in town, it was still the most high-end one in the area.
The room was large, built mostly of wood, with a very meticulous design.
Upon their arrival, Liu Yao was deeply attracted by the unique decorations in this place.
This was clearly a vacation, not work, so now she completely understood the arrangement.
"Liu Yao, come on, Auntie will rest here a bit, you come out, I need to talk to you about some things to come."
"Oh, okay, I got it. Mom, wait for me, okay?"
"Go ahead, go ahead, hurry off and attend to your matters, don't worry about mom, I'm perfectly fine here by myself."
With that, she simply waved her hand, and eventually, the group walked out of the room.
"Big brother, what do you think we should do next?"
"We can't keep waiting, and I've brought an extra person this time."
"Just tell me what I can do."
"You don't need to do anything. Just stay here with your mom, and concerning what comes next, you aren't able to handle it at the moment anyway."
"But then aren't I just here for nothing?"
"There may be other things to do. Haven't I already prepared a laptop for you? And if we need anything, you can help us look up information on it, then tell me through this phone."
