Mrs. Zhu made several phone calls, but all were unanswered. Ever since her son’s divorce, he had completely cut off contact with the Zhu family. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they were enemies. 。
Cui Jie was also unable to. Zhuo Yu’an worked day after day in the research lab. Let alone Zhuo Mu’s phone calls, he wouldn’t answer anyone else’s unless it was business. 。You put the phone on his desk so he could answer it, and while he wouldn’t get angry, every time he would just say nothing and hang up directly before going back to work. 。
Cui Jie felt that he was now like a work machine, soulless. To put it bluntly, he was just going through the motions, even when she told him Old Master Zhuo was seriously ill, he didn’t show any extra emotion. 。Zhuo’s mother had called her several times, begging her to persuade him to return home for a final visit with the old man. 。But Cui Jie couldn’t persuade him. Who could persuade someone without a soul?
Cui Jie had heard bits and pieces from Wang Yan about his years back home, knowing he got married and then divorced, but Wang Yan didn’t want to talk much about it. There was also Wen Jian in the middle, and Cui Jie didn’t feel comfortable asking too many questions. 。”Things haven’t been too busy at work lately, or maybe you could take a trip back home?” She could only cautiously suggest. 。
The other person acted as if they hadn’t heard her at all, completely ignoring her. 。”I heard Grandpa’s condition is getting worse and he really wants to see you one last time.” 。”Aunt Cui continued to speak carefully.” 。Speaking of this, Zhuo Yu’an finally looked up at her, his eyes cold and his tone even colder: “You go back for me?”What did he mean? For her to go back in his place wouldn’t it hurt her family even more? From then on, she didn’t dare to speak another word. 。Things came to a standstill. The Zhuo family called every day to urge him, until an unexpected visitor arrived at the research base, Lu Kuo 。Sister Cui recognized him. He was Zhuo Yujian’s childhood friend and had called a few times before. He was also the only one who dared to yell at Zhuo Yujian over the phone. Seeing Lu Kuo, Sister Cui breathed a sigh of relief and personally led him to the outside of Zhuo Yujian’s office on the third floor. 。Lu Kuo was covered in dust and sweat at this point. He had been on a plane for over ten hours, and he was not only exhausted but also irritable. However, when he saw Zhuo Yu’an, all of his bad temper disappeared as if by magic. He dared not upset the big boss. 。It’s been three years since they last saw each other. Lu Kuo hadn’t changed much, he was still handsome and did whatever he pleased. 。Zuo Yu’an, besides looking a bit thinner, didn’t seem to have changed much at first glance. But upon closer inspection, one could tell there were subtle differences hidden beneath the surface. He seemed… lacking in heart. 。Seeing Lu Kuai in his almost closed studio, he remained expressionless and simply ordered:
“The computer is undergoing testing, don’t touch it.” 。His tone was calm, as if they had just seen each other yesterday. 。Lu Kuo had originally pulled up a chair to sit beside him, but upon hearing this, his hand froze mid-motion as he stopped pulling the chair. 。”When will it be finished?” Lu Kuo asked. 。He traveled a long way, he didn’t come here to see these old computers. 。Zhuo Yu’an remained silent, typing furiously on another computer. 。Lu Kuo glanced at his studio casually. No wonder he felt weird. The curtains were not open, the lights were not on, only a few computer screens illuminated the room. In the dim light, he could see that the studio was crammed with all sorts of smart products and various circuits, wires, and integrated circuits intertwined. 。It’s not normal for a person to interact with these cold things every day. 。”When will it be finished?” He asked again, his voice more insistent. 。”Anything?” Zhu Yu’an finally typed the last line of code, looking up at him. 。。”Lu Kuo speaks very directly. Time is tight; he booked a flight back home that leaves in three hours.” 。The old man is near death, he specially came to bring Zhuo YUAN back home. 。
Lu Kuo wasn’t running this errand because he was indebted to the Zhuo family, nor was it to fulfill his grandfather’s last wish. Those people had nothing to do with him; he was doing this purely for Zhuo Yu’an, so that he wouldn’t have any regrets left. 。Compared to his parents, Zhu Y uan has a better relationship with his grandfather. His divorce is already the biggest pain in his life. If he doesn’t see his grandfather one last time, and waits until later to recover, his life will have one more irreparable regret. Therefore, Lu Kuo can’t bear to watch him like this >>> 。Whether Zhu Yuyan wants to or not, today is the day we knock him unconscious, tie him up, and get him on a plane back to China. 。 。Zuo Yuan kept looking at Lu Kuo for a long time, then continued to deal with the several computers as if he didn’t exist. 。Lu Kuo wanted to be driven to death by anger. 。”That’s enough, it’s been over three years. When are you going to stop living like a ghost?” What good is developing more products? In his eyes, they were just junk. 。The plane was due to take off in two hours. He thought of using some unconventional methods to get back to China, so he rushed out and went to ask Cui Jie for help. 。Without help, he really can’t handle this guy. 。 Cui Jie, hearing his plan, was shocked by his out-of-the-box thinking and repeatedly waved her hand in refusal:
“This is illegal, and you can’t even get on a plane>>> 。”
There’s no way to cure him without special measures.
” 。 。What does he think he’s doing hiding here? A heart ailment needs a heart remedy. 。”Sister Cui felt sorry for him: ‘He’s working here and hasn’t hurt anyone.'” 。Everyone has the freedom to choose their own way of life, you can’t impose your will on him. 。Sister Cui resolutely safeguards everyone’s rights. 。He doesn’t harm others, but he harms himself! Lu Kuò came this time, with determination. 。The two were still arguing fiercely, but then Zhuo Yu’an came out of the studio. Because he didn’t see much sunlight all year round, his skin was a little pale, and he had lost some weight, making his facial features more three-dimensional. 。He didn’t bring anything, nor did he say any extra words. He just said to Lu Kuo in a faint tone: “
“Let’s go”.
。Then, to Lu Kuo’s astonishment, he walked ahead of them. 。Lu Kuo came to his senses and hurriedly followed him. The two went all the way to the airport and just boarded the plane back home. 。Lu Kuo worked non-stop for a whole day and night. Now that the task was completed, as soon as he got on the plane, he relaxed and fell into a deep sleep, completely ignoring Zhuo Yu’an next to him. 。Apart from his ID and phone, Zhu Yuan didn’t bring anything else. During the ten-hour flight, he didn’t drink a single sip of water or close his eyes once. 。When Lu Kuo slept, he was sitting in the same posture as when he woke up. 。
Lu Kuo arrived at the airport bleary-eyed, and a vehicle arranged by the Zhuo family was already waiting there. They went straight to the hospital after boarding. 。Along the way, Cheng Zhimin made several calls to urge him, his tone was already very anxious. The reason is none other than that the old man was clinging to his last breath waiting for Zhuo Yu’an. He heard yesterday that he was back and would be here today. 。The old man, perhaps a little too excited, couldn’t hold on until the very end. 。When Zhuo Yu’an arrived at the hospital, the person was already gone. It seemed he had missed him. 。
