After Principal Xue finished speaking, the principal’s assistant got up and opened the design drawings on the screen for her to see. When she saw that the top of each design drawing was marked with >>>
When she saw the words “Zhi Min Library”, Zhi Min’s eyes reddened again.
I never thought I’d have such an honor in my lifetime, and it’s even coming from my son. All the past resentment and dissatisfaction vanished at this moment.
Zuo Yu’an always had a detached and indifferent expression, rarely speaking. However, his mother Cheng Zhimin’s excited reaction still touched him deeply. Even the most hardened person has a soft side in their heart.
When she got home, Cheng Zhimin’s emotions were still out of control. On the car ride back, she spoke earnestly about…
“Yu An, thank you, Mom.”
She had lived her whole life for the Zhuo family. For the first time, she felt valued and acknowledged, and couldn’t calm down for a while.
The co-pilot, Cui Jie, spoke.
“Teacher Cheng, not only did Mr. Zhu donate to build Hua Da’s library, he also donated to build five other university libraries, all in your name. Those schools’ heads will likely contact you soon, so you’ll be busy.”
“Oh, and also, in the impoverished mountainous regions, 30 Hope Primary Schools have been built in your name.”
Actually, Zhuoyuan Technology has been building Hope Primary Schools every year, but this year it was done in the name of Cheng Zhimin as an individual.
Cheng Zhimin’s heart softened instantly. She felt personally valued, and her vanity was unprecedentedly satisfied. Especially when she passed by other people’s siheyuan courtyards on her way home, she would think, “Look, my son is the most successful! Which of your children can do this for you?”
She is a very proud person. Over the past two years, she has been subtly ridiculed by other official wives, and coupled with Zhuo Yu’an’s marriage, she felt ashamed and stopped associating with them. Now this is considered a complete comeback. If nothing unexpected happens, everyone in her circle will know about her donation to the library and Hope Elementary School tomorrow, without her needing to promote it herself.
Back home, the nanny was pleasantly surprised to hear that Teacher Cheng had gone out for the day. She expressed her happiness repeatedly and said…
“I said, Yu An is good, thinking of you.”
“Just wait and see, which other child has Yu An’s abilities? This time, let’s see if they keep their mouths shut.”
“Alright, enough of that.”
Cheng Zhimin returned home, her excitement gradually subsided, and then she began to ponder what her son Zhuo Yu’an suddenly came back to do.
“What else could it be, he just wanted to please you. That’s filial piety as a son. This time back, I see he’s changed a lot, more mature than before.”
Cheng Zhimin gradually calmed down.
“I’m calmer than before. Spending a few hundred million to please me? I’ll give that some serious thought.”
“Teacher Cheng, don’t think too much about it. Those libraries and Hope Primary Schools were all built in your name. You can’t fake that.”
Cheng Zhimin didn’t want to think about it, but she had to.
“Did you say, is Shu Tinglan back?”
The nanny was taken aback, and then quickly replied.
“Even if Miss Shu came back, what could you do if An Yu acted like he used to and ignored you? He’s going to such lengths to please you because he cares about you, don’t you think?”
Cheng Zhimin thought to herself, “That’s right. If her son didn’t care about her, he would never come see her. She could only accept it.” Now that her son had done so much for her, giving her a way out, how could she still be unhappy?
<<>>
The nanny understood her best, thought to herself, “What else can you do if you can’t bear it? It’s impossible to break them up again. You probably don’t have the energy for that anymore.”
Thinking this way, but comforting him with words:
“Teacher Cheng, I think children have their own blessings. You should enjoy the filial piety of Uyan. Look at those official wives over there, how envious they must be.”
Cheng Zhimin said no more, the two of them, Zhuo Yunan now clearly held the dominant position.
He stayed at home for three days. Except for going to the university on the first day, he spent the remaining two days at home, seemingly doing nothing. But they both knew that he was there to stay with them.
Cheng Zhimin’s mood was naturally excellent, even Zhuo Hong finished his work three days in advance and went home early. The family of three rarely had such a peaceful time. Past grudges were no longer mentioned by anyone.
Before the old man passed away, he explicitly forbade them from ever bothering Zhuo Yu’an again, as long as he was happy. In fact, the old man had reached the end of his life and suddenly woke up to reality. Life is short, and no matter how high one’s position in power, it ultimately amounts to nothing more than a handful of dirt. Zhuo Yu’an saw through this earlier than all of them and jumped out of this circle long ago to pursue his own vast and limitless world.
However, although Zhu Hong and Cheng Zhimin understood this truth, it was still difficult for them to break out of their original thinking patterns and accept Shu Tinglan. It wasn’t something that could be changed immediately.
Zuo Yu’an naturally understood, so this time back to Beijing, he didn’t mention anything about the past. After all, there was plenty of time for that later.
He originally planned to stay in Beijing for about a week, but after three days back, he couldn’t stand it once things were done and had four days free. He decided on the spur of the moment to go to the city instead. At that time, he didn’t want to bother her, saying he would give her time to consider and would keep his word. He just wanted to see the city where she had lived for the past few years.
His plan was progressing steadily, while Shu Tinglan’s state at the moment was diametrically opposed.
That day when she returned to the city, in order to cooperate with Yimuyang’s “childish” game, she stayed at the airport after getting off the plane, waiting to see if she could run into him.
In fact, I’m also wondering if she and Yimuyang really have such a fate?
She had waited almost four hours, the sky was now completely dark, but there was no sign of him. She called him, but it just kept saying his phone was switched off. At that moment, a bad feeling crept into her heart. Because knowing Yi Mu Yang’s personality, if he were on a night flight, he would never play such games with her.
He wants to play a surprise game, he must know that the landing times of the two players at the airport are close.
At this time, Xiao Xin called her to ask why she hadn’t arrived yet. She was originally scheduled to return to the law firm to work in the afternoon.
“Waiting for Yi Muyang at the airport.” She was a little anxious.
“Has Mr. Yi arrived yet? He called me this morning especially to ask about your flight information, saying he booked the same time as you.”
When Xiaoxin said that, Shu Tinglan became even more anxious.
“Are you sure he booked the same flight arriving at the same time as mine?”
“Yeah, he said he wanted to surprise you and asked me to keep it a secret from you.”
