The doctor's advice was still in his ears, and Lin Weiyi saw that Du Ruo was asleep, and he was not in a hurry to leave, so he simply took out his notebook and took care of his business. said that it was business, but unconsciously opened the work email sent by Du Ruo. He flipped through the market analysis and promotion PPT done by Du Ruo, and his reluctance to her was a little more. He knew that Du Ruo left his relatives on the other side of the ocean and returned to China alone, not only to deal with all kinds of inconveniences in life and work, but also to visit his grandparents' dusty past, which must be very difficult during this time. But in the face of unfamiliar industries and jobs, she can devote herself to them. In a short period of time, several reports have shown a qualitative leap, and the latest one is already very mature.

Lin Weiyi couldn't help but think of Du Ruo's stubborn expression that he couldn't help but show when he was working, so focused and not easy to give up, maybe he inherited her grandmother's personality.

A prompt for a new email suddenly popped up on the computer, and Lin Weiyi subconsciously clicked on it, but it was about Du Ruo's maternal grandfather Du Zhiyuan. The letter recorded in detail the situation after Du Zhiyuan arrived in the United States, including the company and school he had worked for, and even the specific years and months were clear and clear, and there was no window period. However, there is one thing that is very puzzling, although Du Zhiyuan has no worries about food and clothing, and his life is smooth, he still gives up his free time and goes to the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce every Saturday as a consultant.

Lin Weiyi closed the notebook and subconsciously pinched the acupuncture points on the bridge of his nose, which had almost become a habitual action when he was thinking about problems. He thought that this Chinese Chamber of Commerce seemed to be a breakthrough to explore Du Zhiyuan's past. And this new discovery also corroborates the information provided by Gu Weijun's descendants.

Among the photos provided by Gu's descendants, Du Zhiyuan went in and out of major social occasions in Shanghai as a businessman, had close contacts with celebrities from all walks of life, and left many old group photos. And in several of the photos, Lin Weiyi even saw Du Ruo's grandmother Zhu Huifen. It's hard to recognize her when she appears alone, and compared to the photo of her as a girl in the house, she is not only radiant, but also adds a bit of mature charm to her eyebrows. Zhu Huifen leaned next to Du Zhiyuan and became part of this grand scene.

Lin Weiyi worked hard to piece together these fragmented information, trying to make it a complete and reasonable context. In Du Ruo's original memory, her grandmother was just a foreign-style old lady who liked social. After retiring from the hospital, his greatest interest was to participate in reading and social clubs in the community, and often published essays and notes in the local Chinese newspaper under the pseudonym "February". If Du Ruo hadn't inadvertently returned to the old mansion and broken the frame by mistake, Zhu Huifen's diary that she deliberately hid would not have seen the light of day.

As for Du Zhiyuan, his public identity has always been a business consultant and visiting professor, that is, a microcosm of many overseas Chinese in the United States. Because of the war, he left his family and went to the country, and through his own efforts, he became a member of the middle class. It wasn't until he learned that Du Zhiyuan had participated in the preparation of the embassy that his personal image changed. He had such deep connections and a government background that he could have made a name for himself in the business world. But he is willing to be ordinary, so he has to make people suspicious. Whether it is Zhu Huifen or Du Zhiyuan, they can hide their identities and become secrets that are kept silent. And during the war, they did not leave China, as they claimed, but arrived in the United States one day after the war. So why are they lying? Why hide your past?

Lin Weiyi's hand holding the teacup slipped, and the teacup almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he quickly grabbed the teacup, but the bottom of the cup made a crunch on the coffee table.

Du Ruo originally had a strange dream, as if he had traveled back to that war-torn era, as if he was shuttling through the ten-mile ocean field from the perspective of his grandmother. The Japanese conspiracy, the hardships of the training camp, the death of Wei February, and the separation of her family are all laid out like movie montages, making her want to scream but can't make any sound.

Knowing that a loud "bang" woke her up from her nightmare, she suddenly returned to reality. She only felt like she was drenched in sweat, and she wanted to reach for the tissue. Unexpectedly, what caught my eye was Lin Weiyi's caring expression: "Are you awake?" Do you want to drink water? As he spoke, he touched her forehead with the back of his hand, "Well, it's not hot." After so much sweat, the fever should have subsided. ”

Lin Weiyi said and handed the tissue to Du Ruo, and poured her a cup of warm water: "It is easy to have a dry mouth after taking antipyretics, and it will be better to drink more water." ”

Du Ruo drank obediently, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Aren't you already gone?" Or I slept in a daze, in fact, I only slept for a short time. ”

Lin Weiyi smiled slightly: "No, you have been sleeping for three hours." I'm just a little worried about you, so I'm looking at you while I go about my business. It seems that your spirit has also improved a lot, if there is anything you particularly want to eat, I will make it for you. ”

Du Ruo only felt that even his tongue was bitter after being sick, and if he drank porridge again, he would kill a carnivore like her. She stuck out her tongue and smiled flatteringly, "Your cooking is delicious, but I haven't had a tooth sacrifice for a long time." Let's go out to eat. ”

Lin Weiyi uncharacteristically and decisively refused: "No, the doctor has told me, you must always remind you to eat healthily." If your stomach is not recuperated, you will have a perforated stomach next. Fried, barbecued, Japanese food, and steak are not on your menu during this time, got it! ”

Du Ruo sneered helplessly: "Don't be so fierce, I was really too busy some time ago to take good care of myself, and now I already know that I am wrong." I didn't say I was going to eat these, I suddenly just wanted to eat pepper chicken hot pot, you eat hot pot and I drink soup. ”

Lin Weiyi was very helpless: "Hot pot? Are you sure you can control your food? Well, anyway, fish maw chicken soup is really good for the body, you can freshen up and dress up now, and I'll wait for a seat first. ”

Du Ruo was surprised: "Boss, will you go by yourself?" Isn't that embarrassing? I thought a big boss like you would be able to go straight to the VIP room with just a phone call. ”

Lin Weiyi couldn't hear her teasing, but there was already a smile on his face: "The company's business has not yet expanded to the catering industry, but I can also ask the secretary to talk about it." Before that, I had to wait in line like a normal person. If you still want to eat, don't talk too much, let me go first. ”

Du Ruo made a well-behaved appearance: "Okay, then you go first, I'll come to you when I'm ready." When Lin Weiyi turned around and went out, she added, "Thank you, Albert." ”
