Outside the old man's bedroom, there is actually a living room, and it is in this living room that close subordinates come to talk about things on weekdays. On the walls on both sides of the living room are some of his favorite calligraphy and paintings, all of which were given by some famous artists and are priceless. On the central table is a photo of him, and in front of the photo is a fresh fruit, which seems to be changed every day.

"Teacher Cheng is very filial, after the old man died, he found someone to clean this room full-time, and made incense offerings on time every day. "The babysitter explained on the side.

"Whether your grandfather is alive or not, his spirit will not be dispersed, as long as he is here, our family will not be dispersed. Cheng Zhimin said and handed him a piece of incense for him to plug in, it was an electronic incense, and there would be no fireworks.

Zhuo Yu'an took the electronic incense, glanced at Cheng Zhimin and the nanny, did not speak, but his eyes signaled them to go out, he wanted to stay alone with the old man for a while.

"Yu An, you haven't eaten yet, I'll cook for you. The nanny said.

"Ate it on the plane. ”

Cheng Zhimin and the nanny raised their feet and walked out. When I got to the door, I breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he is his own son, he is still a little nervous when facing him, firstly, he can't figure out the purpose of his sudden return, and secondly, his aura is really strong, and his appearance of not speaking is even more intimidating than that of the old man.

knew that he ate on the plane, but Cheng Zhimin still asked the nanny to go to the kitchen to make him some snacks, and he also went to help.

The nanny was still happy: "I think Yu An took the initiative to come back this time, and he should really let go of the past." ”

Cheng Zhimin does not have the optimism of a nanny, and has dealt with people all his life, but he can't find the temper of his own children. But it's always a good thing that Ken is back.

But half an hour, Zhuo Hong also knew the news of Zhuo Yu'an's return, he was entangled in official business and couldn't go home immediately, so he only called Cheng Zhimin

"Don't tell him if it's useful or not, let him be quiet for a few days." ”

Splitting her head and covering her face is accusation, Cheng Zhimin's anger instantly rose to her throat, but she pressed it again, before she retired, Zhuo Hong had no respect for her, and now that she is retired, she doesn't take her seriously, as long as she speaks, it is a reprimand, just like training a subordinate.

"It's the same with you, don't put on a bad face when you get home. ”

Zhuo Hong frowned and hung up the phone, before this, Judge Liu on Senzhou's side had mentioned to him that Zhuo Yu'an came to him for a female lawyer. Zhuo Hong doesn't have to think about it, he also knows who this female lawyer is, except for Shu Tinglan, there will be no second person, and now he suddenly goes home, it must be for that woman.

Zhuo Hong was calm, and he didn't tell Cheng Zhimin about it from beginning to end, in his opinion, Cheng Zhimin was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and the Zhuo family's face was lost in the last time, and his son flew away, and he refused to come back even from the old man's funeral, which became a joke in the circle. This time, he calmed down, saw what Zhuo Yu'an wanted to do, and watched the changes.

Cheng Zhimin didn't know that Zhuo Hong's twisted eyes, she is now really happy that her son is willing to go home, in the end, there is a blood relationship, and it can't be separated. The son took the initiative to go home to the bottom of the steps, of course she went down the line, although she still had a tense face on the surface to create the image of Yan's mother.

Zhuo Yu'an lit incense for the old man, and stood there quietly looking at the old man's photo. This photo should have been taken by the old man when he was 70 years old, when there were many guests outside, and the grandfather and grandson were playing chess here to hide quietly.

The old man said: What kind of big birthday do you have? It's that your parents love to call friends and make these vain things don't make people quiet.

The old man has been low-key all his life, but Zhuo Hong and Cheng Zhimin need to consolidate their position through the status of the old man, so every year on his birthday, they have to hold a grand birthday banquet for him. Although the old man was annoying, he could only fool around with them, and only came out to show his face at the last moment.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhuo Yu'an did not go to the funeral in the first place, the old man emphasized many times before his death, in case there is such a day in the future, everything is simple, put an end to extravagance and waste, but it is obviously useless, parents are still doing their own thing, stubborn. So Zhuo Yu'an has never had much hope for his parents, but now he has to come, if he doesn't solve his parents' problems, he will never have any hope of recovering Tinglan.

"Grandpa, I hope you can support me this time. He silently said this to the old man in his heart, then bowed deeply and left the room.

In the evening, at dinner, Zhuo Hong was late and glanced at Zhuo Yu'an, the father and son were so strange that they had nothing to say, but they just nodded to each other and said hello, no different from strangers.

Or Cheng Zhimin can ease the atmosphere a little

"Yu An, dinner will start in a while, do you want to invite Secretary Cui to come to the house for dinner?" Cheng Zhimin had a good impression of this Secretary Cui.

In the three years that Zhuo Yu'an was abroad, every time Secretary Cui reported his situation to her, she should have invited someone to have a meal.

Zhuo Yu'an picked up his mobile phone and went to the courtyard outside to call Sister Cui.

Sister Cui lives not far away, in a nearby five-star hotel, in order to maintain her figure, she has not eaten dinner for many years, but Cheng Zhimin invited, of course, she happily went. When passing by the fruit supermarket, I also carefully selected a few high-quality fruits and placed them in exquisite fruit baskets to the door.

When Sister Cui came, when she had dinner with the legendary Zhuo Hong and Cheng Zhimin, even though she had lived abroad for many years and was free in heart and not afraid of power, or she was exquisite in interpersonal relationships, she was speechless when she sat at the dining table at this time, and she had nothing to say for a while.

It's just too depressing, the family just eats quietly and doesn't talk to each other.

She could feel that Cheng Zhimin and his wife had tried their best to be polite to her and entertained her according to the highest courtesy, but the majesty that this couple's whole body naturally exuded was an aura cultivated by immersion in officialdom for many years, and it was difficult to ignore.

Not to mention chatting like other ordinary families during meals, there is not even the sound of spoons hitting bowls, and there is no sound in the mouth during meals.

In this kind of family atmosphere, it is not easy for Zhuo Yu'an to grow up normally.

After the meal was finally finished, Sister Cui was relieved and wanted to go back to the hotel immediately.

But he was invited to the living room by Cheng Zhimin for tea, and Zhuo Hong went back to the study to work.

Zhuo Yu'an also accompanied Sister Cui in the living room.

Cheng Zhimin took the initiative to speak: "Do you need my help with your business in the university?"

Even if she retires, she still has connections in the education system all her life.

Sister Cui naturally couldn't answer this, her family Zhuo used to distinguish between public and private, and never used the relationship in the family, but now Zhuoyuan Technology is an industry giant, let alone need it.

thought that Zhuo Yu'an would refuse, but he heard him say lightly

"Tomorrow we will go to BGI, if you have time, can you accompany us?"

Sister Cui knew what he meant, and looked at Cheng Zhimin with a smile.

Today should be preferred
