Chapter 78: Persuasion
Liu Xiaoguang faced his son's surprised gaze, so he had to explain: "In order for your mother not to feel guilty about your father, your father has begged Mr. Li to say that he is the one who sent your mother to the hospital. Since your mother was staying at his house when she was sick, it only makes sense for him to take your mother to the hospital himself. โ
Liu Ning was puzzled: "Why are you suffering?" โ
"Ning Ning, I'm doing this for your mother's good. Since I can't give her the life she wants, let her gradually forget about me, so that she can enjoy a new happiness in a down-to-earth manner. โ
"What about me?"
"You are already a man, you should respect Mr. Li, who can bring happiness to your mother, and treat him as a father. Only in this way can you give your mother peace of mind. โ
"Dad, aren't you bitter?"
"Dad has something to do now, and work dilutes the temporary sense of loss. Besides, Dad has taken the cause of the country as his own responsibility and is ready to dedicate his life. โ
Liu Ning blinked his green eyes: "But what about when you get old?" Don't you want to have your own relatives by your side? โ
Liu Xiaoguang's heart trembled, and he hurriedly covered up: "The country will take care of my father's old age." โ
Liu Ning immediately said: "When you get old, I will also grow up, and I will definitely return to your side and honor you." โ
Liu Xiaoguang suddenly had mixed feelings and emotionally hugged his son in his arms.
The father and son embraced each other for a quarter of an hour before they slowly separated.
Liu Xiaoguang let out a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then pulled his son's arm: "Ning Ning, Dad wants to take you to visit the observatory where Dad works." โ
Liu Ning suddenly became excited: "Dad, I still want to see the stars in the sky through that astronomical telescope." โ
"Okay, no problem."
When the father and son hurriedly walked down the terrace, they happened to meet Cheng Xuedong and Li Mengmeng in a corridor.
Cheng Xuedong and Li Mengmeng obviously didn't talk speculatively enough, and each other's expressions were very embarrassed, and when they saw Liu Xiaoguang's father and son coming over, their eyes lit up.
Cheng Xuedong couldn't help asking, "Where did you two go?" โ
Liu Xiaoguang had already relaxed his mood and replied with a smile: "Our father and son are just going to the observatory to see the celestial phase!" โ
Li Mengmeng seemed very unhappy because she didn't talk to Liu Xiaoguang, and when she saw that the father and son of the Liu family were already harmonious, she knew that the two of them had reconciled, and she was excited and cheerfully requested: "Great, can you take me?" โ
Liu Xiaoguang is grateful for the amount of work she has done for her son, and of course she is responsive: "No problem, our observatory is open for you two today." โ
Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but feel a little stunned when he saw Li Mengmeng leave with the Liu family's father and son. He recalled that when he sent Xiao Shuyun to the hospital, he intended to tell so much about the girl, originally wanted to use the girl's mouth to let Xiao Shuyun understand the importance and glory of her husband's work afterwards, but what he didn't expect was that this girl actually fell in love with Liu Xiaoguang, and she was also the daughter of the man who snatched Xiao Shuyun, which was simply too strange.
The more he stood there and thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, and he reluctantly turned back to the studio.
Nan Binghuai was still busy in the studio, and when he saw Cheng Xuedong walking in a little dejected, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly put down the work in his hand to meet him-
"Xiao Cheng, what the hell is going on?"
Cheng Xuedong saw Nan Binghuai's concerned face, and knew what he was worried about, so he quickly replied: "It's nothing, it seems that their father and son have abandoned their old suspicions." โ
"Oh, where did they go?"
"The father and son and the girl have already gone to the observatory."
Nan Binghuai nodded: "Well, that's okay, it can open the eyes of those two children." โ
"Yes, this will definitely bring the two of them closer to Lao Liu."
Nan Bing stared at him with surprised eyes: "They are approaching, you don't seem to be happy." โ
Cheng Xuedong was stunned, and quickly explained: "Of course I'm happy that Lao Liu's father and son can get closer, but what I'm not happy about is that the girl is getting closer and closer to Lao Liu." โ
Nan Binghuai glanced at him: "Do you feel it?" โ
Cheng Xuedong let out a long sigh, and reported to Nan Binghuai in detail about the communication he had just had with Li Mengmeng.
Nan Binghuai was a little amused in his heart, so he remained silent: "Isn't it thanks to you that girl can like Liu Xiaoguang?" What do you have to be frustrated? โ
Cheng Xuedong hurriedly defended: "Teacher Nan, I'm not angry with Lao Liu, but I think he can't lose Xiao Xiao, just by Xiao Liu Ning, the two of them should abandon their previous suspicions." โ
Nan Binghuai deliberately questioned: "Is there a suspicion between them?" โ
"This... If there is no previous suspicion... Will there be a divorce? โ
"Oh, even if Xiao Liu may have misunderstood Shuyun before and divorced angrily, at least there is no problem for her now, right? How do you want them to get rid of them? โ
"At least Xiao Xiao has a problem with Lao Liu, right? Shouldn't she do more of her work? โ
Nan Binghuai couldn't help but sigh: "Shouldn't Shuyun have a problem with Xiao Liu?" Xiao Liu has been working diligently for the country's astronomical cause for more than ten years, and he owes Shuyun too much. It's not just Xiao Liu, don't we have a sense of indebtedness to our wives and children? In fact, how difficult it is to be an astronomer's family! โ
Cheng Xuedong's heart was shocked, and he immediately remembered his beloved wife Wang Shuzhen. Because he has been so busy with work these days, he hasn't bothered to talk to his beloved wife for several days. He thought that because of his career and ambitions, he had no time to take care of his beloved wife, who was seriously ill, and his heart was suddenly cast a haze.
Nan Binghuai saw that his face had changed, and immediately guessed his mind, and couldn't help asking, "How is Shuzhen's situation?" โ
Cheng Xuedong buried his head: "I haven't contacted her for several days." โ
Nan Binghuai's eyes moistened, and he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "No matter how busy you are at work, don't forget to care about her." โ
Cheng Xuedong hurriedly explained: "Actually, every time I call back, Shuzhen advises me not to call all the time if I'm fine." She's worried that I'm going to affect my work because I'm thinking about her. However, I called Dr. Liao again and he said that Shuzhen's condition was quite stable. โ
Nan Binghuai said emotionally: "Shuzhen is really an amazing woman who is willing to sacrifice everything she has in order to support your work. However, you can't expect all wives to be like her, such as Sook Yun, who has the right to choose the life she wants. โ
Cheng Xuedong nodded gloomily: "I understand." โ
Nan Binghuai pondered: "As for how the relationship between Xiao Liu, Shuyun and that girl develops, let it all go with the flow." I think life will make the final conclusion for everyone. โ
Cheng Xuedong's expression calmed down: "Well, then I'm going to get busy." โ
"Xiao Cheng!" Nan Binghuai suddenly screamed the moment Cheng Xuedong turned around.
Cheng Xuedong hurriedly turned around: "What other indicators do you have?" โ
Nan Binghuai didn't say anything, just put his hand to his ear and made a 'call' action.
Cheng Xuedong nodded: "Well, I'll call Shuzhen right away." โ
After Nan Binghuai watched Cheng Xuedong walk out of the studio, he thought of Li Mengmeng again, and couldn't help but say secretly: "What kind of girl is this?" Will she really be able to go above and beyond her own happiness in support of the nation's astronomical cause? โ
He suddenly became curious about Li Mengmeng, and immediately ran to the direction of the observatory-
Besides, Cheng Xuedong walked to the end of the corridor on one side, and when no one was disturbed around, he dialed his wife Wang Shuzhen's phone with an earnest mood-
"Hey, Mr. Cheng?"
After a ringtone on his mobile phone, Liu Yan's voice came out.
When Cheng Xuedong heard that Liu Yan answered the phone again, he frowned slightly: "It's me, please answer the phone." โ
"This... I'm afraid it's not very convenient. โ
Cheng Xuedong's face changed, and his whole heart suddenly hung up: "Shuzhen, what's wrong with her?" โ
"She's fine, you don't have to be nervous."
Cheng Xuedong was still uneasy: "Then why is it inconvenient for her to answer the phone?" โ
"Because she's not here."
"She's not home?"
"It's a drop. She had just been called out by the person on the other side of the door. โ
"She went to the other side?"
"No, she walked the dog with someone."
"Huh? It's a cold day... She... Is her body able to withstand it? โ
"Don't worry, her spirit is really getting better and better, and it's all thanks to the special medicine you got here."
Cheng Xuedong heard it with mixed feelings, and couldn't help but say emotionally: "This is not my credit, it should be attributed to the ever-changing medical achievements." We would like to thank our fellow scientists who are engaged in medicine. โ
Liu Yan also chimed in: "Scientists in any field are amazing. The same goes for you. โ
Cheng Xuedong was suddenly enthusiastic: "Since those scientists engaged in medicine can create miracles of life, then we astronomical scientists must also create astronomical miracles and uncover the secrets of the depths of the universe for mankind as soon as possible." โ
"Yes, this is the classification of the world's micro and macro fields, in order to promote the progress of human civilization, they must cooperate with each other and complement each other."
"Yan'er, you said this well, very dialectical point of view."
"Really? But I'm not a philosopher, just a little astronomer. โ
Cheng Xuedong's heart moved: "When will you go back to work at the observatory?" โ
"Didn't I take a long vacation? I won't be going for the time being. โ
"Do you want to do something for the country's astronomical cause?"
"What? Do you want to get me away? โ
"Yan'er, I'm actually very glad that you can stay at my house. But after all, you are a very potential scientific and technological worker, and you can't delay your good youth. Now that Sook-jin's condition has improved greatly, you should go back to your favorite astronomical career. โ
Liu Yan hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but question: "Teacher Cheng, do you blame me for not seeking progress?" โ
Cheng Xuedong shook his head again and again: "Please don't think about it, I didn't mean that, I just felt sorry for you." โ
Liu Yan said in a solemn tone: "Teacher Cheng, for me, no matter what I do, as long as I can make my value shine, then I will not waste this life." Therefore, even if I am no longer engaged in astronomy, as long as I feel that I can indirectly contribute to the country's astronomical cause, I have no regrets. โ
Cheng Xuedong didn't fully understand the meaning of her words, and he didn't have time to bother to understand it, so he could only say: "Well, as long as you think it's right, then you can do it with peace of mind." โ
"Okay, thank you for that."
Cheng Xuedong did not talk directly to his beloved wife, although he was a little regretful, but through the communication with Liu Yan, he did not gain anything, especially when he heard his own good news from her mouth. Therefore, he was basically satisfied with this call, at least let himself put a stone in his heart.
"Yan'er, I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't talk to you more."
Unexpectedly, Liu Yan said: "Since you are so busy, let's call Teacher Wang less." โ
Cheng Xuedong was stunned: "Why?" โ
"Because Mr. Wang doesn't like it. You can't worry about her condition, don't you know? โ
"Oh? Does it make her anxious if I call her? โ
"Of course, she hasn't received a call from you asking about her condition, so she is anxious, worried that you will affect your work because you are worried about her, and you will even be distracted at work."
Cheng Xuedong was full of emotion but not embarrassed at the same time, and couldn't help but think secretly, how good it would be if Xiao Shuyun could have half of Shuzhen's thoughts, and if he met a wife who thinks about her husband everywhere, do you still have regrets in life?
"Yan'er, but I'm still not worried about her condition. So, it's important to ask. โ
Liu Yan's tone was very calm: "If you are not worried about Teacher Wang's condition, you can consult me directly, can't you call me directly?" โ
Cheng Xuedong looked embarrassed: "But I don't know your mobile phone number yet." โ
Liu Yan didn't feel angry, but said in a calm tone: "Let's hang up the phone now, I want to use my mobile phone to dial your number." You can save my number. โ
Cheng Xuedong readily agreed, and hung up the phone first.
Di Di Di ยท
In less than a minute, his phone rang.
When he saw that the caller ID was an unfamiliar set of numbers, he knew that it was Liu Yan calling, so he answered the phone as soon as possible: "Hey, is it Yan'er?" โ
Liu Yan's solemn voice came from the mobile phone: "Teacher Cheng, I must remind you that Teacher Wang can't devote herself to the astronomy career she loves because of her own health, so she pins all her hopes on you." Your current job is not only to represent yourself, but also to Mr. Wang himself. Therefore, you must put all your thoughts into your work, be sure to make achievements, do not disappoint Mr. Wang, and realize your common dream! โ
