Shitou had been steadily rising over the years, and if it weren’t for his father above him, he might have surged upward.
The leaders paid more and more attention to Shitou, and the Gao family increasingly gained prestige.
Feiyue and Xiao Shu, the father and son, were also very outstanding and received much praise.
The Gao family mbers were involved in the business world, sports, entertainnt, legal, and dical fields.
In the sports world, Feiyi, with his twin daughters and the son who joined the swimming team, Gao Zhiyin, beca the center of attention, favorites for championships, and household nas.
After retiring, Huanhuan and Lele devoted themselves to the singing industry. Although Li Manzi had faded from the scene, her influence remained significant.
Kangkang finally beca a lawyer as he had wished, following the sa career as his mother and maternal grandfather. From an early age, deeply affected by the law, he gradually made a na for himself in the legal field.
The dical field was dominated by Li Min and Gao Jiazhi’s son, Zheng Weihuai.
Weilin, and her daughter Fang Xiqing, were stars in the hosting industry.
Each family mber achieved success, and the younger generations were truly exceptional, nothing could be more comforting than this.
And Shitou had always been the proudest of the family, consistently performing excellently and becoming the king among soldiers.
He had countless achievents to his na, surpassing even his grandfather Gao Jiaxing and his father Gao Feiyang—exceptionally outstanding.
By this ti, Gao Jiaxing was ninety-seven, Xia Xiao ninety-four.
However, by the registered age, Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing were born in the sa year.
Facing their great-grandson’s life hanging by a thread at over ninety years old, it was worrying, though the family had kept it from them. Yet, over ti, they also sensed that sothing was amiss.
Eventually, upon learning the news, Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao were nearly overwheld, but fortunately, Shitou was lucky and pulled through.
The Gao Family said nothing; this was Shitou’s decision, and they respected it.
Over the years, Shitou had always faced dangerous missions, causing worry in his family.
Gao Feiyang and Li Min felt the sa; although their son was capable, as parents, every mission he took left them with bated breath. Shitou’s transition to politics at least brought them so peace of mind, especially as they were aging and did not want to face the agony of outliving their child.
Especially Xiao Shu, who, after having children, focused more on her family and children. Taking over the charity work from Ning Hui, she also wished for her husband to have a safer life.
Though still busy in politics, the nature of the busyness had shifted.
And with more ti spent with family, Shitou was satisfied with his life now.
Having survived close calls multiple tis, Shitou cherished life and his family even more.
As Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing aged, they didn’t have to worry much anymore. Their generation of friends had long passed; they were content living such long lives.
The children were capable, and the great-grandchildren were smart and lovely. They simply enjoyed doting on their grandchildren.
After retirent, the children also began to relax, often taking Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao out and about, providing them with company and leisurely activities.
A family with an elder is like a treasure.
Now, aside from the elders Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao, the Gao family also had a bunch of lively seniors. As they grew older, they returned to the side of their parents, surrounding them with warmth and joy.
By the ti Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao were over one hundred years old, their children were well into their seventies and eighties. However, at that ti, Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao could no longer accompany their children and grandchildren.
In the middle of the night, Gao Jiaxing suddenly awoke from a struggle in his sleep, grabbing Xia Xiao’s hand imdiately, and gently nudged her, saying, "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao."
"Why aren’t you sleeping, Brother Gao?" asked Xia Xiao as she awoke. They were still sleeping in the sa bed, never apart.
Suddenly, Gao Jiaxing gripped Xia Xiao’s hand tightly, face to face, his voice hoarse, "Xiaoxiao, I want to marry you again in the next life, I may be leaving." He felt his spirit fading as if he’d fall into a sleep from which he wouldn’t awake, so Gao Jiaxing woke up to bid Xia Xiao farewell.
My wife, my love, goodbye, we’ll et again in the next life.
"Brother Gao, let’s go together," Xia Xiao said with difficulty but managed a smile, "Hold my hand tightly, don’t lose ."
"Okay, I’ll hold tight, never letting go, we’ll go together," Gao Jiaxing closed his eyes again.
Xia Xiao watched as Gao Jiaxing closed his eyes, watching until her eyes beca sore, then with a smile on her face, she fell into a deep sleep.
