Chapter 288 Leng Ziyue's actions, Leng Family
In the past two years, Zhang Wanwan and her project team have made new breakthroughs in their research. She has traveled to many countries with Jian Rongkun and others, participated in numerous large and small exchanges and seminars, and even visited foreign research institutes. Not only has this broadened her horizons, but she has also gained a lot of new inspiration.
Research on 008 has never stopped. The gene fragments extracted from 008 have also been successfully recombined with other plants. The drug developed by Leng Ziyue and his team has also been successful and is undergoing phase III clinical trials.
Because Leng Ziyue played a crucial role in the entire project team, his superiors also noticed him. Everything developed as he expected, and he became busier and busier because Mr. Chen planned to let him publish a related paper under his own name. If it was really published, he would not be able to hide the fact that he had returned to China.
Whenever Zhang Wanwan thought of this, her heart beat uncontrollably faster, and she felt both excited and worried.
At the beginning of September, which happened to be the start of the school year for major universities, a paper headed by Mr. Chen was published in an international authoritative journal. Because Mr. Chen's previous article attracted great international attention, this time Mr. Chen's article immediately attracted the attention of people in the circle.
Just when everyone was studying Mr. Chen's paper, another article was published. At first, no one paid much attention to the fact that the author was an unknown newcomer. Later, someone discovered that this paper was a supplement to Mr. Chen's article. Word of mouth spread quickly and there was an uproar in the circle. Many people called Mr. Chen to inquire about him, and some people checked the university to which the author belonged. After searching for a long time, they even alarmed the Leng family.
The old house of the Leng family.
Old man Leng looked at the report for a long time without saying anything. After a while, there was a knock on the door and Leng Yanbo came in trembling from outside. In front of his father, he didn't even dare to speak loudly. Before he spoke, he habitually raised a little arc at the corner of his mouth and said respectfully: "Dad, I have contacted the school in Country M. The news from there is that Ziyue returned to China after graduation and did not stay in the school for further studies."
With a loud bang, Old Man Leng slammed the publication onto the table and angrily cursed, "He didn't even tell us that he returned to China. Does he really take the Leng family seriously?"
"Dad, you know that we are not close to that child," Leng Yanbo said hesitantly.
"You still say that! You treat your own son like a stranger, what use is there for you?" The old man Leng cursed louder and louder. He was so angry that he picked up the book on the table and threw it at Leng Yanbo.
Leng Yanbo didn't dare to dodge at all and was hit directly.
Old Man Leng became even angrier and snorted, "Call the Huo family right away. I want to know what they want to do!"
Old man Leng didn't believe that Leng Ziyue could return to China quietly by himself. It was most likely a cover-up provided by the Huo family. He felt even more uncomfortable when he thought that his grandson was so close to his maternal grandparents instead of visiting his own family.
Leng Yanbo thought that the people of the Huo family had become even weaker in momentum, but he didn't dare to say a word of opposition in front of old man Leng. He could only bite the bullet and call Huo Rongwei, the eldest uncle of the Huo family.
Waiting for the other party to answer the phone seemed like a century, so long that Leng Yanbo wanted to hang up the phone immediately. At this time, the call was finally connected. Leng Yanbo turned on the speakerphone, glanced at the old man, and said politely: "Well, brother, how are you?"
Huo Rongwei said in a bad tone: "If you have to fart, do it now."
Leng Yanbo choked, his face trembling, and asked weakly: "Do you know that Ziyue is returning to China?"
As soon as he asked this question, Leng Yanbo immediately felt relaxed and his body straightened up a lot.
Huo Rongwei said without hesitation: "I know."
Leng Yanbo's heart, which had just been put at ease, was lifted up again. He said in astonishment, "You know? Why didn't you tell me if you knew?"
"What did I tell you? What does his coming back have to do with you?" Huo Rongwei said sarcastically, "Why? You ignored me for so many years, and now you suddenly remember that you have such a son? How hypocritical, Leng Yanbo!"
"I"
Huo Rongwei hung up the phone before Leng Yanbo finished speaking.
Leng Yanbo was holding back his anger, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Old Man Leng, so he just stood there stammering.
The old man was silent for a while, then he smashed a lot of things like a volcano erupting, and cursed: "Huo Rongwei! Huo family! Good, good, good! Really good. And you, useless thing, get out! Get out!"
Leng Yanbo didn't dare to stay any longer. He left immediately after hearing what was said. His speed was so fast that it was shocking. Seeing his cowardly and incompetent appearance, old man Leng almost had a heart attack.
Leng Yanbo, who had escaped from old man Leng's study, tidied himself up a little and appeared in front of his wife and children, looking like the head of the family again.
Leng Yanbo's remarried wife Tao Yitong glanced upstairs cautiously and asked him in a low voice: "Why is Dad so angry?"
"It's all because of Ziyue! That kid is getting more and more unreasonable. He didn't even tell his family when he returned to China and only told those people in the Huo family. Dad is upset because of this." Leng Yanbo said irritably.
Tao Yitong's heart tightened when she heard that, and she asked calmly, "What does Dad mean? Didn't he not care about that child before? Why did he suddenly care so much about it?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Leng Yanbo looked around impatiently and asked, "Where are Ziling and Zizhe? Are they out fooling around again?"
Tao Yitong threw him a flirtatious look in reproach, "What nonsense are you talking about! Ziling went to her aunt's place, and Zizhe went to school."
Leng Yanbo curled his lips, not believing Leng Zize's nonsense about going to school. However, he was too lazy to continue arguing with Tao Yitong. It was more important for him to go out and avoid the limelight.
Tao Yitong watched her man hide away, stomped her feet angrily, looked up at the upstairs, and felt more and more that she could not just sit there and wait to die.
On the Huo family's side.
After Huo Rongwei hung up the phone with Leng Yanbo, he immediately went to meet his parents.
"Dad, Mom, Leng Yanbo just called and said that the Leng family already knows that Ziyue has returned to China." Huo Rongwei said expressionlessly.
Mr. Huo and his wife looked at each other and said thoughtfully, "If they know, they know. Don't worry about it. By the way, Zi Yue said that he has a girlfriend who he has been dating for many years. They are both in the same research institute. Let him report the marriage to the higher-ups. You can also help with this matter. Once the higher-ups approve it, let them go and get the marriage certificate. This way, there will be no worries."
Mr. Huo's wife, Sun Ling, said with a little concern: "We haven't even seen that girl yet, isn't this too hasty?"
Elder Huo glanced at her and said slowly, "It's up to the child to decide if it's appropriate. He won't live with us anyway. So what if you think it's not appropriate? Can you stop it?"
