When they arrived at Chu Xingyue's place, Junlin was already happily discussing where to buy a house and how to decorate it.
Several people stood outside the courtyard waiting for Chu Xingyue.
The courtyard gate opened with a "snap." The lights inside the house also came on, startling the people standing outside.
"Go inside, are you all going to stand outside in the cold wind?"
"oh oh"
Lu Zhou said goodbye to Chu Xingyue in front of the surveillance camera on the wall.
The car drove away.
"The second floor is all guest rooms. You can choose your own rooms. I have something to do and will be back later."
Junyan received a message from Chu Xingyue on her phone.
"My cousin said she had something to do and told us to choose our own rooms. We can pick any room on the second floor."
Junyan spoke to the three pairs of eyes that were all staring at her.
"Can we really choose whatever we want?"
"Sister must believe us if she says that. Let's go, we girls will stay together, and you boys will stay together."
There is a laboratory in the Kyoto Research Institute that is exclusively for Chu Xingyue. All the instruments here were developed by Chu Xingyue herself, with funding from Gu Yanci, who replaced all the precision instruments in the research institute.
Promotion in such a state-secret unit is extremely difficult. Chu Xingyue, with her outstanding skills, won over everyone in the research institute with no complaints. In addition, with Gu Yanci's financial power, Chu Xingyue was the most sought-after person in the eyes of all the research institute directors.
Chu Xingyue and her group stopped their car at the entrance of the research institute. The soldiers on duty at the gate quickly ran over, and through the rolled-down car window, Chu Xingyue's beautiful face, which was unforgettable after just one glance, was revealed.
"lead."
"Um."
The gate, which was completely hidden from view from the outside, was opened that night, and the car slowly drove in.
The research institute's conference room was already full of people.
"I don't know what's going on that made us gather together so late."
"It's definitely not a simple matter that Teacher Chu could get us old guys to come so late."
"I'm sorry, teachers, I'm late." Chu Xingyue greeted everyone with a smile as soon as she entered the room.
"Teacher Xiao Chu, what are you saying? Has something terrible happened? Some people are still unable to get here in time, and I've already told them."
"It's okay if you can't make it in time."
There were several split screens in the conference room. Some people were wearing pajamas and sitting in front of the screens, some were wearing white lab coats with the laboratory as the background, and some were sitting in cars.
Chu Xingyue's arrival made everyone at the meeting a little uneasy.
These people had all received some guidance from Chu Xingyue, or had worked with Chu Xingyue for a period of time.
Never before have so many people gathered together.
Chu Xingyue sat down and saw that everyone had arrived; those who couldn't attend were using their phones or computers.
"I also got the news last night. I won't say anything nonsense to everyone. Let's watch a video first."
The video that Chu Xingyue's team had seen was now being played again in the research institute's conference room.
"This sounds a bit like the kind of novels my son likes to read, where the inferior are summoned by the superior?"
Chu Xingyue glanced at the man who spoke and nodded inwardly.
"How did these people manage to do that? I've never seen this kind of power before. It's not quite superpowers, but it's somewhat similar."
Amidst the various opinions, Chu Xingyue nodded.
"There are only a few cases now. I have arranged for someone to set off early tomorrow morning to bring these people back. The approval documents from above will also arrive at the same time tomorrow morning. What we need to do is to delegate the projects we have to our deputies. If we don't have deputies, we should directly hand them over to our students. Everyone should focus all their energy on this matter and find out the cause."
"yes."
"Everyone, get some rest tonight. A car will come to pick you up tomorrow."
Everyone perked up at these words, opened the door and went outside. Those still working on the project went to their respective labs to hand over their work, while others made phone calls to do so.
In short, you have to put everything down.
Chu Xingyue walked to her laboratory and stopped. Iris opened the door, and the door closed behind her.
All the lights were turned on the moment Chu Xingyue entered, and her whole body was disinfected.
Once inside the laboratory, these people cannot be brought back without special anesthetics. Even with ordinary anesthetics, they would wake up midway through the process, so it is necessary to prepare some special anesthetics for them.
Chu Xingyue stayed in the lab for more than two hours, while Gu Yanci waited for her in the car for the same two hours. One was working in the lab, while the other was handling things on his computer in the car.
When Chu Xingyue came out carrying her suitcase, Gu Yanci had also finished his work.
Upon seeing Chu Xingyue emerge, Gu Yanci quickly got out of the car, took the suitcase from Chu Xingyue's hand, and the two got into the car together.
"Go home."
Gu Yanci looked at Chu Xingyue with concern, "Are you tired?"
"What? Are you worried about me?"
Chu Xingyue smiled and asked, her eyebrows and eyes relaxing.
"It breaks my heart."
"If you feel bad about it, you can arrange for someone to hand over this suitcase to my person at the airport first thing tomorrow morning."
"It would be my great honor."
Gu Yanci was afraid he wouldn't be able to help Chu Xingyue, so he never refused anything she asked for. Besides, the things his wife asked him to help with were never trivial matters; they were things that ordinary people couldn't do. Therefore, Gu Yanci was very happy that Chu Xingyue trusted him so much.
When Gu Yanci drove Chu Xingyue back, he was stuck in traffic until the middle of the night.
"Going back? Drive carefully and let me know when you get home."
"Okay, go upstairs and get some rest. I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Gu Yanci closed the car window and drove away.
Chu Xingyue opened the door.
The sight of the few people sprawled on the sofa amused Chu Xingyue; had they fallen asleep from talking about everything?
I went upstairs and got them each a blanket. The house is well-heated, so they won't catch a cold.
A peaceful night.
A turbulent undercurrent surged in the darkness.
After Chu Xingyue finished exercising and tidied herself up, the people downstairs slowly woke up.
"Hmm, good morning, Sister An."
"Good morning!"
"Good morning, cousin."
"morning!"
Seeing the blanket covering them, they all smiled knowingly; it felt so good to be cared for.
"Sister An'an, my sister and I will be going back soon."
"Okay, your brother-in-law will bring breakfast over later. After you eat, I'll take you back."
"Um."
"Go upstairs and tidy up. Everything in the bathroom is new."
They all covered their mouths and ran upstairs.
"You're here!"
Just as we were talking about Gu Yanci, he arrived, carrying a full load of food and drinks.
"Hmm, where are they?"
Gu Yanci put the things on the dining table and turned to ask Chu Xingyue.
"Knowing you were coming, they all ran upstairs to get ready."
"What, am I some kind of monster or something?"
Gu Yanci took out the food and said with a smile.
"Maybe it's because I'm losing face in front of you, my brother-in-law."
"Is this all these kids are thinking about?"
"Who knows?"
"What did you buy? It smells so good."
"I bought a little of everything. I know your taste, but I don't know what your younger siblings like, so I bought a little of everything."
"Wow, it smells so good."
Before the person even went downstairs, they could hear the praise.
"I haven't had breakfast in ages. What a bland and tasteless life I've been living every day!" After venting his frustrations last night, Junlin had become bolder and more cheerful.
“My sister and I aren’t picky eaters, we eat everything, it’s always delicious.” Ye Sheng and Ye Xue, the siblings, quickly followed suit, not wanting to be outdone.
"Haha, alright, alright, everyone sit down quickly. It's so late, your brother-in-law must have been up early this morning."
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
"You're welcome. I'm just glad you enjoyed your meal."
Gu Yanci smiled and served Chu Xingyue a bowl of porridge.
"Try it, this place just opened, it's pretty good."
He then served it to Chu Xingyue.
Chu Xingyue accepted it with a smile
"Thanks."
"You should eat too, try a little of everything."
The group of people nodded repeatedly as they ate the various breakfast options.
Gu Yanci was driving today, so he first took the Ye siblings home.
When they got off the bus, Ye Sheng and Ye Xue invited Jun Yan and Jun Lin to come to their house for a delicious meal whenever they had time.
The two responded repeatedly.
The car started and headed to Jun's house.
Junshan, Luofeng, and Junhai got up very early this morning. It was their grandson-in-law's first visit, so they had to make some preparations.
When Chu Xingyue and the others arrived, they saw the three members of the Jun family standing at the door, eagerly waiting.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Chu Xingyue opened the door, got out, and hurried forward.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, why aren't you waiting at home? It's so cold outside."
"Hehe, it's not cold at all, we just came out too."
Luo Feng smiled broadly, and Jun Hai echoed her sentiments, while only Jun Shan kept a straight face.
Junyan and Junlin also got out of the car and quickly walked to the elderly couple.
"Hello, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle! I'm Gu Yanci, An'an's boyfriend."
Apart from Luo Feng, Jun Shan and Jun Hai from the Jun family were also stunned when they saw Gu Yanci.
This is the nephew of the man in Kyoto, and the head of the Gu family, whose businesses span the globe.
Although their family wasn't poor, they still couldn't compare to the Gu family.
"May I call you Xiao Ci?"
Luo Feng saw that her grandson-in-law was handsome and pleasant to be around, and her whole face beamed with joy.
"Grandma, you can do it."
Gu Yanci replied with a smile.
"Hello, Grandpa!"
"Hmm, hello!" Junshan forced a smile, his tense expression turning into a forced one. Even Luo Feng couldn't stand it; she smiled at Gu Yanci and reached out to tug at Junshan's sleeve.
"Haha, your grandfather was a little nervous meeting his granddaughter's boyfriend for the first time."
"It's okay, Grandpa won't be nervous after seeing me a few more times."
"Haha, Chairman Gu, today I can only rely on my seniority to call you Xiao Ci."
"Uncle, you're too kind."
"This is a small gift for everyone."
"You silly child, why did you bring a gift?"
"Come in, come in, come in."
Junhai gestured for them to enter, and the entire group went inside. The door was closed from the inside, cutting off the search efforts of several groups.
"What's going on with the Dashan family? Two groups of people have come over in the last two days."
"Going home, going home, it's too cold. I'll ask around in a couple of days and find out."
"Yes, yes, let's go home, it looks like it's going to snow, the sky has turned dark."
“Xiao Ci, come here and sit down. An An has come home. We didn’t experience her growing up. I really didn’t expect her to find such an excellent boyfriend as you.”
Junhai and Gu Yanci exchanged pleasantries with smiles.
"Uncle, you're too kind. An'an is even more outstanding. I'm the one who found someone as excellent as An'an."
"Haha, don't be modest, your uncle is very happy for you."
Junshan sat on the sofa in the main seat without saying a word, but when he heard Gu Yanci praise Chu Xingyue for being more outstanding, the expression on his face relaxed a little. This kid wasn't so bad after all.
His beloved granddaughter hadn't even had a chance to kiss him enough before someone took her away, and the old man was unhappy.
What does your family think of An'an?
Luo Feng asked Gu Yanci kindly.
The other members of the Jun family standing nearby all perked up their ears.
“My dad and my uncle have always felt that I am not good enough for An’an. My older brother was once An’an’s boss. My sister-in-law and my sister like An’an much more than they like me. Sometimes I even doubt that I am their son, nephew, or brother. An’an is the darling of our family.”
Gu Yanci felt a mix of anger, amusement, and warmth when he thought about how everyone in his family treated him so differently from how they treated Chu Xingyue.
“An An is more outstanding than any of us imagined. She is very strong and doesn’t need anyone. I’m so happy that An An chose me.”
Our family tradition dictates that only widowhood applies, no other circumstances. So please rest assured, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and my two younger siblings, I swear on my life that I will treat An'an well for the rest of my life.
"An'an is very happy to be reunited with you all this time."
"You are a good boy."
Luo Feng nodded with satisfaction.
Junshan's tense face relaxed completely. It could be said that his granddaughter had lacked all the affection from her father's side in her more than twenty years of life, and the Jun family would do everything they could to make it up to her.
"How about we hold a family reunion banquet for my cousin so everyone can know?"
Junlin's words brightened their eyes, but they quickly fell silent again.
"Junlin, my cousin's identity is special and it's not appropriate for her to be exposed to the public. Besides, our family doesn't like these things. As long as our family knows, we're all happy. What business is it of anyone else's?" Junyan felt it was unnecessary.
Chu Xingyue agreed with Jun Yan's words, as did the three elders of the Jun family.
"Okay, I didn't know my cousin's identity, sorry."
Junlin felt embarrassed that he hadn't considered all the implications of his suggestion.
"Junlin, there's no need to apologize. Just be yourself."
"By the way, Junlin, why are you with your sister and the others so early in the morning?"
Junlin hadn't noticed him before he spoke, but now that he had, all the family's eyes were on him.
"Grandma, you don't know, his dad beat him again. Tell me, the whole family relies on Junlin's dividends to live, how can he still have the nerve to beat him?" It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned this, because as soon as Junyan mentioned this, she was so angry that she wanted to slap someone.
