Zhi Hei came out of the bathroom and sat down on the couch next to Shen Qi. Mother and Father Huang had been waiting for him to come out so that they could explain the situation as clear as they could. They took out the small note that had random numbers written over it. Shen Qi and Zhi Hei stared at the small note for a while before asking what this meant.
Mother Huang: "Remember how Shi Xue's mother was announced dead from an accident long ago? Well, she isn't. This note was written by her. We have a pigeon and this note as evidence. Only she knew about our small messenger game and number codes from the old days. We decoded the message from the note and it roughly meant that both Shi Xue and Hui Yan are safe. They are planning to show up at the engagement party and needs our cooperation."
Shen Qi tilted his eyebrow, "How do you know this is real? Were there any other evidence?"
Father Huang shook his head, "The pigeon is the same one that went missing after Shi Xue's mother's accident. And the numbers on this note made sense. If it was some random note and numbers on it, then it wouldn't have been this coincidental for it to be about Shi Xue and Hui Yan."
Zhi Hei and Shen Qi nodded in agreement. Zhi Hei asked, "What else did they say and needed? And can we see them in secret to make sure they are alright?"
Father Huang shook his head again. "The note mentioned preparing clothes for them to change into so that they would be low profile when they sneak in. They also need an invitation to enter the engagement party. As for invitation, we could always bring them along as a guest."
Shen Qi nodded, "I could prepare their identities and hack into the party's workers' system to add their records there. "
Zhi Hei: "I'll prepare the outfits for them."
Mother Huang: "Prepare two sets of outfits for each of them. One set will be waitress outfits and the second set would be for the engagement party. Prepare three masks for them to hide their faces as well."
Zhi Hei nodded, "Got it." he made an immediate phone call for preparations as Shen Qi typed in an extremely inhumane speed on Zhi Hei's laptop to hack into the company's system.
Mother Huang smiled after seeing thee two of them all motivated again, "I also wrote a note back and released Xiao Feng, the pigeon back to them."
Father Huang: "You two must have skipped your meals. Go eat and then work. You wouldn't want us to give you guys out to the girls when they come back would you?" he teased.
Zhi Hei and Shen Qi immediately stopped what they were working on and rushed down to the diner table. Mother Huang laughed heartily, "You've caught two fishes with the two girls as bait."
Father Huang smiled, "Let's go. You haven't eaten either. I'll tell Hui Yan all about you when she comes back if you don't listen to me."
"Tch. Fine. Fine. I'll eat with them. happy?"
"Mmm. As long as you're healthy and smiling."
-Laboratory-
"Xiao Feng, you're back pretty quick. Were they shocked to see you after this long?" Qian Ling smiled happily as she held the pigeon in her arms. coo coo
She noticed a note attached to it's leg and quickly retrieved the note and read it.
"When I see you, I'll spank you endlessly! You bad girl! Rest assured with your requests. Three spotlights will be reserved for you three beauties. Can't wait to see you."
Qian Ling's eyes reddened, "hehe.. after so many years, your badass playfulness is still active... finally we can reunite after so many years... I missed you guys so much.." she whispered and sniffled a little before calming down.
Qian Ling walked towards Shi Xue and Hui Yan's room to let them know of their upcoming plans. When she entered the room, she saw two girls giggling to each other excitedly. They were talking about the face slaps and punishments for the Shi's evilly.
"No, no that's too light! They should all experience somewhat burns.."
"No! Hui Yan, last time they didn't even learn their lesson from being burned with food.."
"Ahh, you're right. Let's not waste good food this time. Food is too great for them."
"Then, whipping them with hot sauce on the weapon?"
"Hmm, ohhh ohhh hot sauce and acid mixed together on the rope!"
"hahahaha, not bad not bad!"
Qian Ling smiled helplessly at the two angels laughing heartily in bed, "Still not asleep? You two need to rest well to have the strength to slap evidence on the Shi's faces."
"Mom~ We are too excited to sleep! We were just talking about different torture methods."
"I see, well, I've already written a note to Hui Yan's parents. They will prepare identities and clothes for us that day. We'll meet them somewhere close to the engagement location and change before sneaking in. You two must stick close to me that day. It'll be dangerous if any of the Shi's find out about your fake death."
Both of them nodded and smiled happily.
"I miss Zhi Hei so much even though it's been a few days since I've seen him."
"I miss Shen Qi too! I miss teasing him. His apartment must be a mess with clothes everywhere! Can't wait to see him hehe and my parents!!"
Qian Ling's revealed a heart warming smile as a layer of mist blurred her vision.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"n..no, nothing. I just feel so happy that I could be close to you just like this. All these years, I've thought about you and how you'll be doing. You grew up to be such a beautiful and elegant young lady. Seeing the two of you chat like this, warmed my heart."
Hui Yan and Shi Xue got off the bed and gave Qian Ling a huge warm hug.
"Mom, you're my mom. Always will be. We'll make sure those bitches suffer 10000 times the pain we've suffered. I'm glad that I still have you. We'll definitely make up for the years that we've missed in the past."
"Aunty Ling~ This hug is real. You'll get lots and lots more in the future. If having sis in law with you isn't enough, you can take my hugs too. I'll be your half daughter hehe~"
"You two are so sweet."
The three of them wrapped around each other for a while before separating.
"It's getting late, you two should rest. If you don't, you'll have dark circles and it'll look bad at the engagement party~ "
Hui Yan and Shi Xue looked at each other and nodded, "Mom, let's sleep together~ Hui Yan and I are cold. Having you between us would warm us up~"
Qian Ling knew that this was just an excuse to sleep with them, but she also wanted to spend more time with these two girls. "Sure, but I'm warning you, I might kick in my sleep."
"Pfft, aunty Ling, no need to worry~ we might be worse when it comes to sleeping posture. People say what you think of the most would occur in your dreams. Since we've been thinking of different punishments for the Shi's, our reflexes would be pretty good in bed.
Shi Xue smiled and patted the space between the bed, "Mom, don't worry about dark circles under our eyes. If any traces of stress or pain appears on our body, our boyfriends would only be crueler to the Shi's"
The three of them chuckled as they drifted into deep slumber.
Meanwhile, the Huang's and Shen Qi were finally able to have a good night's rest. This night, everyone was smiling sweetly as they thought of the upcoming party.
