After being persuaded by her grandma, Shu Ran could no longer hold back her tears like a flood that broke through a dam.
She hugged her grandma tightly and cried like a child who had suffered injustice.
Tears soaked grandma's clothes, but grandma did not push her away. She just patted her back gently and comforted her.
When others saw this scene, they all wisely avoided it.
Just let Shu Ran vent!
Upstairs, Lu Cheng was lying lazily on the bed, his hands casually placed behind his head, his legs crossed, and swaying leisurely.
"Alas, my aunt is just too soft-hearted. If it were me, those Shu family members would surely stop after a beating. How could I let them get mad and cry?
But they probably won't have a good life after today. My eldest brother ignored them before because of my aunt's face.
When they did this today, I saw the look in my brother's eyes as if he wanted to swallow them up.
With all the wisdom and tactics that Big Brother has, he can kill the Shu family without them knowing what happened..."
Lu Cheng talked incessantly for most of the day, but found that Qin An Ning didn't respond at all.
He turned his head and saw Qin An Ning holding a book with full concentration, reading it with fascination, completely immersed in the world of the book.
Lu Cheng walked over in slippers and tapped lightly on the desk.
Qin Anning raised his head when he heard the voice and looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Lu Cheng snatched the book from Qin An Ning's hand and turned it upside down on the table. He put his hands on her shoulders, looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Ning Ning, I know you want to develop an anti-cancer drug as soon as possible.
But that's not something that can be accomplished overnight. You've really been pushing yourself too hard recently.
Don’t think about anything today and just relax for the day, okay?
Qin An Ning understood Lu Cheng's worry and heartache, so she put her arms around his waist and gently leaned her head on him.
"But I want to develop this medicine as soon as possible. The Second Commander has contributed so much to China. I want to do my best to see if I can help him."
The chief's illness was strictly confidential, and now she couldn't reveal that she already knew about it. She could only speed up her research in secret.
Moreover, she has to attend the Guangzhou Trade Fair afterwards. Time is tight and she really doesn't have much time left.
Lu Cheng stroked Qin Anning's head gently and said, "I know, I also respect the second-in-command.
But Ningning, you are not a god, you can't create this medicine all of a sudden.
You know better than anyone that the research and development of a drug, from project initiation to final research success, may take several years or even more than ten years.
So let's do our best and leave the rest to fate, okay?"
Qin An Ning hummed dejectedly. What else could he do?
The two of them stayed in the house for a while before going downstairs. Shu Ran had calmed down, but her eyes were a little red and swollen.
She was cooking in the kitchen and her uncle was there to help her, which made Qin An Ning feel embarrassed to be a third wheel.
But she couldn't let Shu Ran cook for the whole family alone, so she had to bite the bullet and drag Lu Cheng into the kitchen with her.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the Shu family's affairs, and the family happily had a warm meal.
Today's meal was also very sumptuous, with chicken, duck, meat, fish and various vegetables, filling the entire table.
At the dinner table, Lu Cheng always took care of Qin An Ning, picking up her favorite dishes and even testing the temperature of the fish soup before serving it to her.
The elders were very satisfied with what they saw, and they all had smiles on their faces.
After finishing the meal and sitting for a while, Lu Cheng stood up and said, "Grandma and Grandpa, Ningning and I are going out for a walk and will be back later."
They have been busy recently and haven't had a proper date for a long time.
Grandma smiled and nodded, "Okay, go play! Drive slowly."
After they left, Shu Ran and Cui Chengshuqing said, "I see you've been very busy lately. Do you have no time to go out and play with An An? There's nothing to do at home this afternoon, why don't you go find An An!"
Cheng Shuqing was busy preparing for the Guangzhou Trade Fair and was so busy that he really neglected An An.
Hearing Shu Ran's words, he felt a little guilty, and without hesitation, he said hello to the elders and went to the Wei family.
There were only a few elders left in the house, sitting in the living room chatting, and everyone was talking in a random manner.
Somehow, the topic turned to Cheng Zhilan.
Thinking of her daughter who passed away young, grandma couldn't help but shed tears.
She sighed and said to Qin Zhen, "Qin Zhen, for so many years, we have always treated you as our own son, and we all know that you and Zhilan have a deep relationship.
But Zhilan has been gone for several years after all, and you are not that old. You can't stay single like this forever, right?
Why not…”
"Mom!" Qin Zhen interrupted his mother-in-law excitedly. He looked at her seriously and said, "I know you are doing this for my own good, but I only love Zhilan in my life. Apart from her, I don't want anyone else.
If I marry someone else, it would not only be irresponsible to myself, but also to others.
Zhilan has always been in my heart. I am doing well now. Let’s not talk about this matter again.”
After saying that, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Back then, when Zhilan married him, he was just a small company commander and didn't even have the qualifications to let her join the army.
And she is so gentle, kind and beautiful.
In order to protect his reputation, she silently endured all kinds of difficulties and endless demands from Old Lady Qin.
Even in the end, she was murdered because of him and left him.
He felt deeply guilty towards her throughout his life. How could he marry someone else when he had achieved success and fame, allowing another woman to reap the fruits of his labor and enjoy the status and glory that should have belonged to Zhilan?
What's more, there is only Zhilan in his heart, and he really cannot accept another woman sleeping in the same bed with him.
Others always think that he lacks an intimate and considerate partner, but only he himself knows what he really desires.
For the rest of his life, he only needs to protect his daughter Ningning wholeheartedly and take care of the Cheng family.
When he was about to die, he finally had the nerve to look for Zhilan and tell her, "I have never let you down. We will be husband and wife again in the next life!"
Qin Zhen's uncontrollable excitement caused everyone present to fall into silence in an instant.
No parents would like to see their son-in-law forget their daughter and marry someone else.
But they couldn't be so selfish as to completely ignore Qin Zhen's inner feelings and let him stay alone like this.
But I never expected Qin Zhen’s reaction to be so big!
"Okay, let's not mention this matter anymore." Grandpa sighed heavily and said with a gloomy expression.
