Upon hearing that Lu Qingqing was about to give birth, her mother couldn't sit still.
Hanging up the phone, she began packing her luggage while urging her husband to book plane tickets online.
There were no direct flights to Hong Kong, only a flight to Pengcheng arriving after 10 p.m. They took this flight to Pengcheng, then transferred to Hong Kong and headed straight to the hospital where Lu Qingqing was staying.
At the hospital entrance, they ran into Song Xiuluan, who was surrounded and blocked by a crowd.
"Uncle, are you here to pick us up?" Lu's dad asked.
Song Xiuluan stopped, brushed his hair, directed the bodyguards to disperse the crowd, walked over to them, and replied, "Not really, Brother Lu. I just arrived. My second brother and second sister-in-law are probably so busy that they forgot—they didn't call to tell me Qingqing was about to give birth."
Lu's dad curiously asked, "If they didn't tell you, why did you come to the hospital?"
