Chapter 158 Gift
Zhong Yi nodded. "Hello, my name is Zhong Yi. I heard that you are pregnant. I don't have any gift for you. You can take this music box. It's an old thing of mine."
Ye Qiaoqiao was a little surprised when she took the music box.
Judging from the style, it is indeed an old item from twenty years ago. The paint on the surface has fallen off a bit, and the sound is a bit stiff when it is opened.
But it can be seen that the owner must care a lot.
After Zhong Yi gave the gift, his attitude towards Ye Qiaoqiao changed again.
"Since you've married my son, you have to do your job as a daughter-in-law." Zhong Yi said seriously, "I also know about the conflict between you and Ah Shi."
"She was originally my intended daughter-in-law, but since they didn't end up together, I won't force you to separate. As long as you can love Ah Shi like a sister in the future, that's all."
"After all..." Zhong Yi rubbed his forehead and frowned, "The Zheng family has done me a favor, I can't be ungrateful."
When Ye Qiaoqiao heard this, her heart sank for a moment.
She didn't expect Zhong Yi to favor Zheng Shi so much.
"The Zheng family has done you a favor, but not me." Fu Juechuan suddenly sneered, "Zheng Shi made her own mistake, what does it have to do with me and Qiao Qiao."
"Don't say that Qiao Qiao is just marrying me, not selling me. I have the right to protect her, not a foster sister who is already loved by many people."
When Zhong Yi heard what he said, his face darkened instantly.
"Are you dissatisfied with me?"
"Yes, I am dissatisfied with you." Fu Juechuan actually admitted it without hesitation. "If you came back just for Zheng Shi, then I have nothing to say."
"Who said I did this for Zheng Shi?" Zhong Yi frowned unhappily, "I just promised Madam Zheng to take care of Zheng Shi."
"I came back because of the e-reagent."
"You should know that I am the researcher of E-reagent." Zhong Yi frowned, "Didn't some soldiers in the country get poisoned by E-reagent this time?"
"What!" Ye Qiaoqiao was shocked. "Aunt, is this the e-reagent you researched?"
She suddenly remembered something. In her previous life, the second generation of e-reagent was developed more than ten years later. It was circulated secretly abroad and used for various criminal activities. It was rumored that there was a mysterious scientific research team behind it.
Could it be that Aunt Zhongyi is in there?
However, the people there belong to a foreign team.
etc.
Think about it again, the Zheng family has the E2 reagent to use at will.
It's not surprising that there is a shadow of love in this.
"That's right." Zhong Yi had a confident and outstanding smile on his face. "So, I know that the country needs me now, and they have also offered a lot of conditions to keep me. I am considering it."
When Ye Qiaoqiao heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
She felt that Zhong Yi's current attitude was very strange, even dangerous. She was afraid that her arrogant attitude would not be welcomed by domestic leaders.
Because there are already many scientific researchers in the country who would rather work harder and must keep the country's secrets. No matter how capable Aunt Zhongyi is, if she does not have enough patriotism, she can only be hired from outside at best and cannot completely become one of our own.
If this happens, wouldn't it affect Brother Fu's development?
Fu Juechuan was indeed angry.
"Have you forgotten the reason why you left? Have you forgotten that you took on dangerous missions for the country? Now that you are alive, the only thing on your mind is foreign countries!" Fu Juechuan shouted angrily.
There was a flash of struggle in Zhong Yi's eyes, but he returned to normal the next second and became unhappy, "Science has no borders, don't you even understand this?"
"Oh, I don't understand. I only know that our country's sovereignty was won at the cost of the lives of millions of heroes!"
"Our country only needs firm patriotic scientists, not so-called Frankensteins!"
"How many people have been harmed by the e-reagent you developed? Don't you know it?"
Ye Qiaoqiao was horrified when she heard this. She had never seen Fu Juechuan get so angry before.
Zhong Yi rubbed his forehead, his face pale, as if he was unhappy about being scolded by his son. "In my memory, there is only research, only to let humans discover more useful things. You don't understand me, don't butt in on my business."
Fu Juechuan clenched his fists.
Ye Qiaoqiao was terrified, fearing that the mother and son would start fighting.
"Aunt!" Ye Qiaoqiao suddenly shouted.
Zhong Yi looked at her doubtfully.
"You... do you still remember what Brother Fu looked like when you left?" Ye Qiaoqiao asked suddenly.
Zhong Yi was puzzled, "That was 20 years ago. I remember he was still young, and I had no choice but to leave."
"Aunt, but, weren't you eager to return home for Brother Fu? But because you were arrested, you failed to do so." Ye Qiaoqiao questioned.
Zhong Yi rubbed his forehead and said, "No, it's impossible."
"I am willing to sacrifice everything for science. There is no way I can come back for my children."
When Fu Juechuan heard this, his face instantly turned dark.
Ye Qiaoqiao's hand was pinched so hard by him that it hurt.
She gasped, and Fu Juechuan came to his senses abruptly when he heard her cry of pain, his eyes red and filled with guilt.
"Qiao Qiao, I'm sorry, I hurt you."
Ye Qiaoqiao shook her head gently, then pulled Fu Juechuan and said a few words in his ear.
Fu Juechuan's eyes were filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Ye Qiaoqiao nodded slightly.
Zhong Yi was standing by and watching the two of them flirting with each other. She was a smart person, so she didn't say anything when she saw it, but there was a little more scrutiny and curiosity in her eyes when she looked at Ye Qiaoqiao.
After Fu Juechuan was reminded by Ye Qiaoqiao, he slowly regained his sanity.
He reflected carefully and found that ever since he met Zhong Yi, he had been led away by her, and it was exactly as Qiao Qiao said.
My mother risked her life and sacrificed everything twenty years ago. She has changed now, but maybe it’s not because she meant it.
It was the atmosphere abroad, or some reason he didn't know.
No matter what the unknown reason was, what he had to do was to influence Zhong Yi instead of being influenced by her.
"Mother, what are your thoughts on coming back this time?" Fu Juechuan regained his composure and said with half his eyes half closed, "It just so happens that I have been infected with the e reagent, and I am willing to ask you to help me research the detoxification."
Zhong Yi finally reacted. She frowned and stared at Fu Juechuan.
After repeatedly asking about Fu Juechuan's symptoms, she said with a serious expression, "Okay, I'll stay for a while and help you solve this poison problem."
Ye Qiaoqiao felt that Fu Juechuan's decision was a bit risky.
After all, Aunt Zhong Yi now makes her feel a little uneasy.
But, apart from her, it seemed that no one else could help Brother Fu detoxify.
What's more, Brother Fu is determined to keep Aunt Zhongyi here.
Fu Juechuan noticed her worried look, reached out to comfort her, and signaled her not to worry.
Zhong Yi looked at the two people's worried expressions and sneered in dissatisfaction, "Why, are you worried that I will hurt you?"
"Aunt, I can't help it. You only have science in your mind." Ye Qiaoqiao admitted frankly after being discovered. She even smiled deliberately, "Although Brother Fu and you are not that close, you are mother and son after all. You will have feelings for each other after a long time of cultivation."
"What do you think?"
Zhong Yi said disdainfully, "As long as he doesn't waste my time."
