Three days later, a letter from Jiangcheng was placed on Qin Jinye's desk.
Qin Jinye had just returned from a meeting when he saw the mailing address, and his heart skipped a beat.
After a period of silence, he assumed Lin Xiaoxiao had given up on her plan to take advantage of him. But just a few days later, a letter arrived.
It's like they're urging us to give up.
Qin Jinye rubbed his temples, truly regretting agreeing.
He opened the letter; it was all nonsense, but the last sentence instantly energized him.
"...I will definitely find an opportunity to return to Beijing to fulfill my filial duties."
Filial piety?
Don't believe her for a second.
Qin Jinye had a slight headache.
He spent a lot of money a while ago to transfer Qin Huaijun back to the State-owned Purchase and Sales Department.
In the end, she couldn't bear to see her youngest son so depressed.
I don't know what he did to offend Chu Weinian. It's one thing to embarrass him in the meeting, but to target a junior in private is really disrespectful.
Suppressing his anger, he called his secretary in and asked, "Has Minister Chu given his mind yet?"
The secretary shook her head. "Minister Chu said the two families don't have much of a relationship, so there's no need for a meal."
Qin Jinye slammed his hand on the table. "I want to see how long Chu Weinian can be so arrogant."
Relying on their status as members of the Chu family, they didn't take him seriously at all.
I'm so angry!
Beijing Military General Hospital.
Chu Weinian looked at Xiao Bao on the hospital bed, his brows furrowed. "Xiao Bao's illness is relapsing more and more frequently. What did the military doctor say?"
Chu Xiaobao's grandfather, Chu Xiaonian, was dressed in a crisp military uniform with a worried look on his face. "The military doctor said that they can only try their best to control it. This is the first case in China. There is still no targeted drug, and research and development are ongoing."
The development of a targeted drug can take anywhere from a few years to several decades.
Xiao Bao is only a few years old; he can't hold on for long.
It's been half a year.
It has been half a year since Xiao Bao was abducted and found.
The old man had just arrived in Tongcheng when Xiao Bao fell into a coma. An unknown case was discovered, and he was later transferred to Beijing Military General Hospital, where he has been receiving treatment ever since.
Genetic defects are a major life event for children.
Chu Weinian sighed, "Let Wu Xuan and his wife come back."
The child's condition is probably not good now.
Chu Xiaonian's face tightened, and his hands clenched into fists. "The experiment has reached its final stage, and they wrote to say they can't leave."
As Xiao Bao's great-grandfather, Chu Weinian looked at his only great-grandchild and felt a jumble of emotions swirling in his mind.
Upon hearing that Chu Wuxuan and his wife were not coming back, he couldn't help but say, "Since you decided to do this job, you shouldn't have had a child. Letting Xiaobao be born in a place with such strong radiation is irresponsible to the child. Now that the child is like this, the couple can't let go of their work. It's really...sigh."
Chu Xiaonian was also dissatisfied with his eldest son and daughter-in-law. "Forget it, let's not talk about them anymore. You have to keep it from the old man. He's getting old, we have to be careful."
“...Grandpa.” A small, weak voice came from the hospital bed.
Chu Xiaonian immediately turned around, "Hey, Grandpa's here."
Chu Weinian also stepped forward, "Grandpa is here too, Xiao Bao, don't be afraid."
Chu Xiaobao's face had become thinner, making him look pitiful.
Her whole body was covered in tubes, and all her hair had fallen out, but her eyes were still bright and clear.
He whine to Chu Xiaonian and Chu Weinian, "Why aren't Daddy and Mommy here to see Xiaobao?"
Chu Xiaonian forced a smile, "They're on their way back, and they'll come to see our Xiaobao in a few days."
Xiao Bao was happy.
After playing with his grandfather and great-grandfather for a while, he suddenly remembered something and sighed like a little adult, "I miss my sister a little."
Chu Weinian and Chu Xiaonian knew he was referring to Lin Xiaoxiao, who had saved him on the train.
Xiao Bao knew his sister was very, very far away, so he didn't make a fuss about seeing her; he was just a little worried.
The little one was actually getting worried.
This made Chu Weinian and Chu Xiaonian chuckle.
Children don't understand the meaning of being sick; they only know that they feel very uncomfortable and have to take lots and lots of medicine and get many and many injections every day.
"Commander Chu, Minister Chu, it's time for Xiao Bao's IV drip." The military doctor walked in with a nurse.
Chu Weinian and Chu Xiaonian walked to the other side of the bed and watched the military doctor play with Xiaobao while the nurse looked for a place to insert an injection on Xiaobao's forehead.
Xiao Bao pouted, on the verge of tears, his little hands tightly gripping Chu Xiaonian's sleeve.
Looking at his grandson's appearance, Chu Xiaonian felt the fire in his heart burn even more fiercely.
“My poor little Bao…” Chu Xiaonian’s wife brought food to the hospital, fed the little Bao some, and then, seeing him asleep, she couldn’t help but shed tears.
Her poor little grandson.
Chu Xiaonian patted her shoulder, "You take care of Xiaobao, I'll go contact Wuxuan."
As they left the hospital, Chu Weinian patted his shoulder and said, "Second brother, don't get upset. Talk to Wuxuan properly."
As the eldest grandson of the Chu family, Chu Wuxuan was intelligent from a young age and had a keen sense of numbers. After reaching adulthood, he did not accept Chu Xiaonian's arrangement to join the army, but instead chose to devote himself to the research of nuclear energy application in weapons.
Given the extreme poverty and technological blockade in our country, the difficulties of research are evident.
Later, Chu Wuxuan met his current wife at the research and development base. The two became revolutionary partners, making progress together and learning from each other.
The baby was an unexpected surprise for the couple; they didn't show when she was pregnant and didn't find out until she was over four months along.
The baby was already moving in the womb, and the couple couldn't bear to part with it, so they gave birth at the center.
They were taken back to the Chu family as soon as they were born and raised by the family.
For the first few years, no accidents were discovered. Although the Chu family was angry at Chu Wuxuan and his wife for being unreliable, they loved the child dearly.
