Chapter 602: Adoptive Parents Enter the Imperial Capital
"Okay Miss, I'll go down first if I'm alright."
More than an hour later, the maid bowed and left with the tray.
Su Mang stood up and slowly walked to the dressing mirror.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt like a new person.
When she first walked out of that asteroid, she never thought things would go so smoothly.
She really escaped from those hard days and lived the life she had always dreamed of.
The dilapidated old house, the shared bathroom and toilet for the whole family, the stench of livestock and the endless bumps on the back seat of her adoptive father's tricycle...she no longer has to endure it.
Ten days ago——
Su Youmin and his wife traveled day and night, bought the fastest train tickets, and finally landed in the evening of the third day after departure.
"Ouch, my waist! Did you hear that cracking sound? It turns out that it's so hard for Tiantian to go to school far away..."
Before Su's mother finished her rambling, a scream suddenly erupted from her throat and her body trembled. She looked very scared.
The dense crowds of passengers around her thought something big had happened, but when they followed her gaze, they were suddenly speechless.
"What...it's just an alien, what's the big fuss?"
The passengers took a quick look and realized that the two men were from a small town. They didn't pay any more attention to them and just passed by them.
The alien tourist who was regarded as a "monster" by Su's mother felt even more uncomfortable. All eighteen of his eyes rolled upwards, and he snorted coldly, then turned and left.
Su's mother patted her chest, her face full of shock.
Having never left G3977 since childhood, they hadn't imagined the outside world had become so open. Seeing the Empire establishing diplomatic ties with a planet in the news didn't seem like much. Even the most bizarre creatures on screen looked like figurines, not as terrifying as seeing them in person.
Not only the openness of civilization, but also the development of science and technology taught the two a hard lesson.
The aircraft carrier station alone was larger than their village. The couple had never traveled far before and moved in a hurry with the crowds.
But as they walked, they found that the crowds had split up, and the signs indicating exits, spaceships, bus stops, etc. were nothing but confusion to them.
"Didn't Tiantian say someone was coming to pick us up? Why don't we call and ask?"
The two of them stood against the wall, found the contact number provided by Su Mang from the computer, and dialed it.
The other party answered the call quickly and asked them to go to the underground parking lot on the second floor below ground level. They also kindly told them which exit to take and which elevator to take for the most convenient exit.
The two responded with "Oh oh", but after hanging up, their minds went blank again.
"What did he just say? Do you remember?"
Su Youmin frowned and kept repeating himself in his mouth.
Seeing the uniformed staff, his eyes lit up, as if he had found a savior. He walked over quickly and asked, "Excuse me, young lady, I want to ask..."
The staff member heard his question clearly, pressed his wrist, and summoned a luggage cart: "Please tell me where you want to go again, speak to it, and speak slowly."
Su Youmin recalled and repeated it again.
"The destination has been set successfully and we are about to head there... Do you want to set off immediately?" said the smart voice assistant in the car.
The two were still in a daze when the staff had already helped them move their packages to the luggage rack at the bottom. "Get on it, it will take you there."
The couple got into the car in a daze, and only had time to say "thank you" before the car started.
The speed was not fast, but Su's mother still held the side handle nervously, watching it move "thrillingly" among the crowd, turning and decelerating at the limit of collision, her heart was in her throat.
"Youmin, we forgot to ask, how do we park the car? How do we get it back when we get there?" Su's mother asked worriedly.
"This... we'll see when the time comes."
I thought the road I had walked was long enough, but I didn't expect that we would drive for so long after getting in the car.
It took them about ten minutes to find the elevator they wanted.
While they were still debating whether to get off, the luggage cart had already taken them into the elevator, and kept shouting, "Please make way~ Please make way~..."
The couple was extremely embarrassed, but the passengers next to them were used to it and moved closer to the edge of the elevator to give them extra space.
The parking lot was much emptier and quieter than the ground level, the only difference being that it was still huge, like a maze.
However, the luggage cart has the most complete and precise navigation system at the airport, and directly locating the parking space is a basic operation.
The driver was waiting downstairs. Seeing a luggage cart approaching, he took two steps forward to greet it. "Is this Mr. and Mrs. Su?"
"Ah, you are that... Hehe, no need to call me Madam, I'm not a Madam..." Mother Su pulled her clothes.
The driver helped them move the packages onto the car, and the luggage cart slowly drove along the same route it came.
"The young lady has been discharged from the hospital and is now staying at home, about an hour from here."
"Has he been discharged from the hospital?" Su's mother asked in surprise.
"Well, get in the car first and we'll talk on the way."
The car was driving in the beautiful imperial capital. The scenery outside the window was so different, but the couple had no intention of appreciating it at the moment.
"Wasn't Tiantian shot? How did she get discharged so soon? Didn't she run out of hospital bills? We brought them..."
"No, no, you're overthinking it," the driver interrupted. "The young lady was discharged from the hospital because her injuries have healed."
"Within half an hour of the accident, the doctor arrived and provided emergency treatment. He then spent three more days in the recovery chamber. Now he can move around normally without any issues."
Hearing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, with joy visible on their faces.
"That's fantastic! This treatment chamber is actually that good! When I saw the news, I thought it was overhyped."
"Hey, this isn't cheap to use once, is it? How much did it cost in total?"
"You don't need to worry about this, the cost has been covered."
"No, no, this won't work. Who paid for it? Let's give them the money." Su's mother asked anxiously.
"This... I don't know either. Go back and ask our wife."
"Oh, okay. Your wife is... Tiantian's biological mother, right?" When Su's mother mentioned this word, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she still had a smile on her face.
"Yes, she is the eldest daughter of the Marin family, her name is Gina."
"I know. I looked her up on the Internet."
The driver glanced at the two men's reactions in the rearview mirror and said calmly, "Then I'm sure you two have heard something."
"Miss Su Mang's disappearance was a complete accident. After the incident, our wife suffered day and night, and lived in the longing for her daughter for more than ten years. Only recently did she slowly recover."
Su Youmin and his wife lowered their heads and stopped talking.
The driver stopped there and didn't say anything further.
The three of them didn't talk to each other for the second half of the journey.
