Extra 1: Modern



The Jiang family, a top-tier wealthy family in Yuncheng, has been experiencing continuous turmoil recently.

Huanyu President Jiang Ci and Jiangming Group founder were both involved in a car accident in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The two companies were left leaderless, prompting a flurry of activity from businesses throughout Yuncheng that were either related to or competitors of the two groups.

This forced President Jiang, who had already retired and was enjoying his time with his loved ones, to return to the helm, not only to take charge of the two major groups, but also to face the pain of his beloved daughter and son-in-law being unconscious in the hospital.

Near the hospital invested in by the Jiang family, there are nearly a hundred bodyguards patrolling the area continuously.

For months, doctors hired at high salaries from all over the country have only been attending to two people in the VIP ward.

Jiang's mother cried almost every day.

Even after having a child, and now nearing fifty, Jiang's mother, who used to look quite elegant and gentle, has aged considerably since her beloved daughter lay in the intensive care unit for months without showing any signs of waking up.

A few more strands of white hair appeared at her temples.

"Madam Jiang, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Zhou's physical functions are still normal, and..." The doctor who was in charge of examining the two in the ward today found it difficult to speak.

There is currently no chance of regaining consciousness.

Jiang's mother forced a smile. She had become somewhat numb to the words she had heard countless times. "Thank you for your hard work. My daughter and son-in-law still need your help."

“This is what we should do,” the doctor said. After hesitating for a long time, he still said, “Madam Jiang, you and... Mr. Jiang should prepare for the worst.”

Both President Jiang and President Zhou were seriously injured.

When he arrived at the hospital, he was barely clinging to life. Many injuries to the human body can heal, but when the nerves that control consciousness are injured... it's incredibly difficult to fully recover.

Even if President Jiang and President Zhou are saved, they may end up in a vegetative state.

Jiang's mother was helped to sit down by the housekeeper. The housekeeper looked at Jiang's mother with concern, seeing her like a withered tree, like a dried-up well drained of all its energy, with only two lines of tears still able to fall from the corners of her eyes. The housekeeper felt a pang of sorrow in her heart...

How did Miss and Mr. Zhou end up together...?

well……

The housekeeper knew that the young lady had very high standards and could not tolerate any flaws. Her parents were very loving, which made her have very high requirements for marriage.

Miss and Mr. Zhou had been going through a divorce battle for half a year. When her husband and wife asked her why, she refused to say anything...

“Madam, Miss is blessed. She has survived a great calamity and will surely wake up,” the housekeeper comforted her.

Jiang's mother's eyes were lifeless. "An'an always says that I'm pushing her too hard, demanding that she come back to be with us and that she and Mingli resolve their marital relationship."

"I just wanted her to not work so hard, to not focus all her energy on work. There's so much work, how can she do it all by herself?" Jiang's mother's voice was hoarse. After crying and shouting enough, only endless sorrow remained in her tone.

“She wouldn’t tell me or her father what the conflict with Mingli was about, and I won’t ask anymore. I just want…” Jiang’s mother choked up, tears streaming down her face again, “I just want my An’an to wake up…”

The housekeeper's eyes reddened, and she couldn't find the words of comfort to say. She could only take out tissues and wipe away the mistress's tears.

Unbeknownst to Jiang's mother, who was weeping and heartbroken, a noticeable fluctuation had appeared in a certain part of the instrument monitoring the patients' vital signs in the two adjacent wards.

...

On the day Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao went to university, Jiang Ci, unable to withstand Zhou Mingli's nagging, asked her superior for annual leave.

Jiang Ci is now the director of the European Department. She has a heavy workload and many projects on her shoulders, making it difficult for her to take a vacation. Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao finally entered university and began a month-long military training. Zhou Mingli repeatedly suggested that Jiang Ci take her annual leave to relax.

As Jiang Ci wrote the application, she said, "It's not like we haven't traveled before. This is the fourth time you've mentioned it."

Night fell over the Zhou family's courtyard. Zhou Mingli adjusted the air conditioner to the most comfortable temperature before walking over, sitting down next to Jiang Ci, and embracing her.

"A trip that involves the whole family is certainly different from a trip that just the two of us take together."

He pressed his cheek against Jiang Ci's and gently inhaled her scent.

No matter how many years had passed since they were together, from when he was in his twenties to his thirties, Zhou Mingli was still obsessed with her scent.

Zhou Mingli lowered his voice, sounding a little aggrieved, "We haven't had our honeymoon yet."

Jiang Ci: "…………"

How could I not understand what he was saying?

Jiang Ci took a breath and turned around.

Zhou Mingli cooperated by supporting her waist and lifting her onto his lap.

He looked down at her, silent, but she looked wronged no matter how he looked at her.

Jiang Ci touched his still wrinkle-free face, pulled him close and kissed him. "I know, I want to go diving at the beach. Although we can't go abroad, Nancheng is not bad. Recently, the tourism industry has been developing, and the infrastructure is good."

Zhou Mingli's eyes lit up immediately. Before Jiang Ci could move away, he grabbed her back again and gave her a passionate, wet kiss.

Jiang Ci felt weak from his kiss and was held tightly in his arms.

"I guarantee that the arrangements will satisfy Director Jiang." He kissed her eyebrows and eyes affectionately, then pulled her into his arms and gently kissed her hair.

Jiang Ci submitted her application for annual leave, and Zhou Mingli finished handling the important work, leaving the rest to Huang Zheyue and others.

Huang Zheyue hadn't quite figured out what had happened yet, and only thought that Uncle Zhou had his eye on some location again and wanted to buy it to build a shopping mall or houses.

When Huang Zheyue got up early in the morning and came out of her room, she saw Aunt Jiang dressed casually in a smoky-colored long dress and wearing exquisite jewelry, while Uncle Zhou carried a suitcase, looking just as relaxed as if he was going to work. Huang Zheyue's jaw almost dropped.
