rted her, letting her tear at the garment. The coat slipped off, revealing red marks on her beautiful shoulders where her mother had scratched her."You're so self-absorbed, you're so self-absorbed."On...Shutinglan originally thought that he had become an unbreakable, impenetrable wall through his rigorous training. 。But she was taken aback when she suddenly heard Lin Zhi's name. Her heart skipped a beat, and her nose felt a little sour. 。Their last contact was when Lin Zhiyao went to Kokonor for a retreat. She sent her money, but Lin Zhiyao got angry and asked: "Do you want to cut me off"

Later on, it was when their mother had an accident. She wanted to contact Lin Zhiyao to ask Fu Shenyi for help finding a hospital, but Lin Zhiyao's phone was always turned off. 。Then her mother passed away, she became pregnant and gave birth, her life underwent a drastic change, and she no longer wanted to have any contact with people from her past. 。After bringing her mother's ashes back to Qining for burial, she came to live in this unfamiliar city in central China on her own. She moved away from her hometown and her loved ones. 。

Thought I had forgotten, but when Tang Weijun mentioned her, my heart ached. She was my best friend, once my greatest refuge. 。"Is she alright" Shu Tinglan asked. 。"...Getting married To Fu Shenyi" "It should be fine, I haven't been in contact with her. It was a female classmate from our class who shared her wedding invitation on her Moments." 。Shu Tinglan didn't seem very interested, so he didn't elaborate. It was understandable; friendships from school are similar to campus romances—they often fade after graduation, no matter how close you were. 。"Married well, she's with Fu Shanyi from Zhuo Yuan Technology." 。Tang Weijun, after expressing his feelings, fell silent. He had already spoken enough for the day. As someone who usually weighed his words carefully, speaking even a single sentence was a deliberate act. 。Shu Tinglan still nodded in agreement. 。In this age of highly developed information, you can't live in a vacuum. You can't truly block out all information and live independently, especially since she's a lawyer and needs to receive news from all sides. Although she tries to avoid it, she occasionally stumbles upon his news while browsing. 。Fu Shenyi, representing Zhuoyuan Technology, is a frequent sight in the public eye. For example, he appears at new product launches, annual meetings, and industry forums. Even gatherings of prominent figures from various sectors often feature his presence. 。Gradually, in the industry, everyone came to tacitly understand that he represented Zhurong Technology. 。While Zhuoyuan Technology's true big boss, Zhu Youan, has actually disappeared completely from the public eye in recent years, no one knows his whereabouts. Even employees of Zhuoyuan Technology haven't seen this big boss for several years now. 。

The company's new product development is overseen by Wang Yan, the general manager. All external operations of the company are handled by Fu Shenyi. Anyway, the company has been steadily profitable year after year, and the shareholders and investors have made a lot of money, so they don't bother to inquire about where the big boss went. 。Of course, Zhu Yu'an did not really evaporate from the human world. Several high-level executives of Zhuyuan Technology, especially Fu Shanyi and Wang Yan, are required to report their work to him on a regular basis. 。

He was at the research base of Zhuoyuan Technology headquarters, a standalone building next to the main office building. It only had three floors: the first floor was the Zhuoyuan Technology product showroom, the second floor was the Zhuoyuan Technology product development room, where all researchers worked, and the third floor was Zhu Yu'an’s independent research room. For the past three years, he had been like a scientific recluse, silent, solitary, and taciturn, immersing himself in the research room day and night, cutting off contact with the outside world. He would only appear if absolutely necessary. 。

His only connection to the outside world was Cui Jie, his secretary at headquarters. Cui Jie had been his secretary since the beginning of his entrepreneurial journey. She was a low-key person who was reliable and efficient in her work, with an extremely gentle personality. 。。Sister Cui couldn't understand why Zhuo Yu had changed so much. When he returned home, he was full of vigor and brilliance. But when he returned to the headquarters again, he became withdrawn, taciturn, preferring to interact with cold code all day rather than speak a word. 。Over the past few years, since he joined the R&D team, Zhuoyuan Technology's products have been updated very quickly, with a new product released almost every six months. These products have sold incredibly well and quickly become popular. Competitors can only look on enviously at Zhuoyuan Technology's success. 。Unfortunately, no matter how well Zhuruan Technology develops, Zhu Yuanan seems to be completely indifferent. He's just a research machine without emotions. 。Over the past few days, Zhuo's parents have called Cui Jie several times, urging her to definitely help pass a message to Zhuo Yunan: his grandfather is critically ill and needs to return home as soon as possible. 。

Cui Jie once tried to have Zhuo Yunan answer the phone and communicate directly with his parents, but every time Zhuo Yunan picked up the phone, he wouldn't even listen before hanging up and continuing to work. 。

Cui Jie is actually also Chinese. She just immigrated to America with her husband after getting married. She knows best the thick-blooded relationship between Chinese people, that even if a leg is broken, the tendons are still connected; she also knows best the close relationship between Zhuo Yu'an and his grandfather since childhood. 。In normal times, she would always block any calls for him, not wanting to bother him. 。She knew he was hurt and needed time to heal. 。Many nights, she saw him sitting alone on the balcony of the third floor, motionless for an entire night. His once sturdy frame was now gaunt. 。Therefore, Sister Cui was reluctant to let outside affairs bother him. She handled everything she could for him, but with Old Master Zhuo's serious illness, she dared not make decisions for him. 。Seeing him hang up the phone again, she couldn't help but advise:“You've been abroad for several years now, you should go back and have a look.” 。"From what I hear from your mother, Grandpa may not make it through this year." 。The old man had cancer, and it was terminal when they found out. The news shook the entire Zhu family to their core. 。Everyone couldn't understand how this could happen. The old man was only in his 70s, not too old. He had regular checkups every year and looked very healthy. Just the other day he said his back hurt, so they checked him out, and it turned out to be pancreatic cancer in its late stages. 。The patriarch is the pillar of the Zhuo family. Even though Zhuo Hong has been developing smoothly in the capital these years, he knows deep down that it was his grandfather who paved the way for him. In the future, if his grandfather is gone, once people leave, tea gets cold, and he doesn't know if anyone will continue to support him. 。

Even on the phone, Zhu Mu's words still seemed understated. The old man was now anxiously waiting for Zhu Yúan to return home, wanting to see him one last time. 。For the past few years, the grandfather and grandson hadn't seen each other, let alone spoken on the phone. After being diagnosed with an illness, during his recuperation period, all he could think about was Zhuo Yunan as a child. He used to follow him around like a shadow, accompanying him to work. Sometimes when he was busy, he would have the guards take him out to play, but the boy was cunning and mischievous, tricking the guards into a dizzying swirl with no way to handle him. The grandfather would just watch beside him, smiling smugly. 。As a child, he was such an energetic one. That's what Elder Zhuo thought as he lay in bed. 。When parting is near, a person's desires become particularly simple. All they want is to see their beloved grandson one last time, and their life will feel complete. 。d down and kissed her, beginning with a light, lingering touch that gradually deepened into something more passionate.Is this a goodbyeRuanyuan only thought of this word, the last kissLater, Lu Kuo re...
