Chapter 19 He suddenly missed that woman.

When I tried to tell my son a bedtime story, he lost interest and said, "Dad, I don't want to hear these."

Xiang Jingheng closed the storybook. "I don't want to hear this. What do you want to hear?"

"I'd like to know how far along Godmother's chip research is?"

Xiang Chu rolled over and lay face down on the bed, her long, narrow phoenix eyes wide as she excitedly asked, "Is it finished yet? My godmother said she encountered some technical difficulties, have they been resolved?"

Every question struck a chord with Xiang Jingheng, who had been troubled by this matter recently.

In recent years, due to his divorce from Yu Yan, the scientific research community has basically blacklisted Xiang's Technology. Several top research labs in China have refused to cooperate with Xiang's. Xiang Jingheng had no choice but to gamble on Xiaoxing Research Lab.

He knew Gan Xiaoxing's capabilities very well. Their laboratory was not among the top in the country, and even though he poured money into it, they still hadn't produced anything substantial.

Therefore, he turned his attention to WD Research Lab, as they were the only ones who could help him overcome the technical difficulties at present!

Or rather, only Yu Yan.

Xiang Jingheng's feelings were incredibly mixed. He patted his son's head and asked, "Xiao Chu, do you miss your mother?"

"You mean Xiaoxing's godmother?" Xiang Chu now only recognizes Gan Xiaoxing.

Xiang Jingheng knew that his son and Gan Xiaoxing got along well, but seeing that his son only had eyes for his godmother, he felt quite uncomfortable.

“She’s not your godmother, she’s your biological mother, Yu Yan.”

Xiang Chu's face immediately darkened; she didn't want to talk to him anymore. She turned over and lay down. "Dad, I don't want to talk about that woman."

"Don't say that." Xiang Jingheng's voice was slightly deep. "I've said it so many times, no matter what, she is still your mother. What happened between your mother and me doesn't involve you, so you can't be prejudiced against her because of it."

Xiang Chu covered her ears, not wanting to hear anything at all.

Although that woman came back, Xiang Chu felt it would have been better if she hadn't come back at all!

She's been gone for three years, why would she come back?

Seeing his son's refusal to communicate, Xiang Jingheng sighed inwardly. He knew that children from single-parent families would inevitably have some trauma, after all, they lacked a mother's love.

Over the years, he has tried his best to make up for his lack of a son, and often lets Gan Xiaoxing take over the role of "mother".

But he knew in his heart that a godmother and a biological mother were ultimately different.

Therefore, he couldn't help but blame Yu Yan.

Regardless of their reasons for getting married, once they've formed a family and have children, they should think more about their children's needs. It's incredibly irresponsible of them to just get a divorce and leave whenever they want!

On this point, Xiang Jingheng could not forgive Yu Yan.

He felt depressed, so he went back to his room, poured himself a glass of wine, and sat by the window to drink it by himself.

The night was cool as water, and outside, thousands of lights shone. There was once a light that belonged to him. It was that woman who lit that light, gave him a home, and then extinguished it with her own hands.

Perhaps it was the red wine that made him feel dizzy, but Xiang Jingheng suddenly missed that woman. He remembered her gentle demeanor at home and her confident and beautiful appearance when she gave a speech... Which one was the real her?

Was Yu Yan always putting on an act in front of him?

And now, is it being performed for someone else again?

—

Yu Yan has been busy ever since she returned to China.

These past few days have been a whirlwind of activity, completing the job application process, securing a lab, and arranging accommodations and meals for the entire team. I'm so exhausted my throat is practically hoarse.

However, compared to when she had to handle everything herself while abroad, things went very smoothly after returning to China with the help of her senior brothers and sisters. In the past few days, Yu Yan has personally experienced Shao Muyan's composure and thoughtfulness.

He thought of many things before she did, and all the difficulties he faced were simply resolved with a "I'll handle it"... and then he miraculously solved them all.

Yu Yan felt like she was on a winning streak, and couldn't help but secretly remark to Si Nan in private:

"How fortunate you are to have such a talented and considerate teacher!"

Si Nan and his fellow disciples looked at Yu Yan, who was genuinely looking at them with envy, and remained silent, feeling like they were swallowing a bitter pill.

They are recognized for their extraordinary skills, but are they also meticulous and considerate?

Which eye did Yu Yan use to see that?

Do these four words have anything to do with teachers?

Thinking of the piles of documents, research topics, papers, and experiments that the teacher had assigned them... Si Nan and the others felt a chill run down their spines. The teacher's gentleness was reserved for Junior Sister Yu, and had nothing to do with them!

Let's just work honestly and diligently.
