Chapter 141 If you are bullied, I will support you
The taxi address was the old neighborhood where Chen Zhan and Xu Jing used to live. It didn't look much different. Around four or five in the afternoon, snack stalls were set up with red and yellow signs.
The property management of the residential complex has strengthened its management compared to before. Chen Zan had not entered the facial recognition system into the new system, so he had to fill out a registration form before the security guard would let him in.
When he arrived at the door, Chen Zhan remembered that he didn't have his keys. He had encountered thieves abroad before and lost things twice. Fortunately, he didn't lose much money, but his keys were in his bag and were lost with it.
She called Xu Jing again, and this time the call was answered quickly. Gu Sangyu's IV drip had finished, and he was on his way back. She asked Chen Zan to find a place to sit and they would be there in ten minutes.
Chen Zhan obediently said "Okay". Just as he was about to hang up, Chen Jiaohua seemed to take Xu Jing's phone away, "Zhan Zhan, it's grandma."
Hearing grandma's voice, Chen Zhan subconsciously raised the corner of his mouth, "What's the matter, grandma?"
Chen Jiaohua asked: "Where are you now?"
Chen Zhan: "I'm at the door, grandma. I brought you some gifts and will be waiting for you to come back."
Chen Jiaohua: "Which door are you at?"
Chen Zan was stunned for a moment and said the name of the community.
Chen Jiaohua sighed and said reluctantly, "Zhanzhan, the previous house was too old. Now I live in Director Gu's house."
Then she complained to Xu Jing: "What's wrong with you? Zhanzhan hasn't been back for so many years, and you didn't even tell her you moved. Luckily I asked the child about it. How on earth are you as a mother?"
Xu Jing didn't make any excuses this time. She said in frustration, "It's my fault. I really forgot about this because Sang Yu was sick."
Chen Jiaohua was on speakerphone, and Xu Jing said into the phone, "Sorry, Zhanzhan, there's a bit of a traffic jam this time. It'll take half an hour to pick you up. Please find a warm place downstairs to sit."
Chen Zhan looked at the old security door in front of him, his heart sinking a little bit. He said calmly, "Give me Director Gu's address. It's faster for me to take a taxi than for you to come pick me up."
Xu Jing heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her always being considerate of others. "You're sensible, unlike your sister, who makes me worry all the time."
Chen Zhan took a deep breath, his mind tightly tied to the string, afraid that it would break. "Mom, tell me the address first."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Jing sent the address directly.
Chen Zan pushed his luggage downstairs and took another taxi.
Just as she got downstairs, Zhou Jingyu called again. She hesitated for two seconds before picking up the phone.
Zhou Jingyu had just finished his meeting. He glanced at the time and thought Chen Zan would be home by now. "Is he home yet?"
Chen Zhan curled his fingers slightly, "Well, we're home."
He said lazily, "You've been bragging to me since last night that your mom was going to the airport to pick you up. Now that you're home, why do you sound unhappy?"
Chen Zan was stunned when he heard this.
Zhou Jingyu immediately figured out that she was in a bad mood. "Did you have a fight with your mom, or do your stepfather and sister not welcome you?"
He already knew her family situation very well.
Chen Zhan's heart was originally heavy, but after hearing this, he felt a little amused and helpless. "What are you thinking? Director Gu is a very good person. He took good care of me when I was still in Rongchuan. As for my sister, she is only a few years old. Don't wrongly accuse others."
His voice became lighter. Zhou Jingyu said, "I'm not afraid that you'll be bullied, so I can come over and support you."
Chen Zhan: "Then don't do that. I'm afraid you'll come over and bully the kids."
Zhou Jingyu sighed in a fake manner, "What a heartless little thing."
Chen Zhan pulled the corner of his mouth, "My grandma is calling me, I won't tell you anymore."
Zhou Jingyu responded softly, "Go ahead."

It gets dark early in Rongchuan in winter. By the time Chen Zan took a taxi to Director Gu’s community, it was already 6:30 in the evening.
The community looked very high-end. She had never been here before, so she thought about it and went to the fruit shop next door to buy a lot of fruit.
Before entering the community, you have to register at the door first, and the security guard has to call to ask the owner if he knows Chen Zan.
Only after receiving a positive answer will the person be released.
Just as I reached the bottom of the building, Gu Wenjun came downstairs, "Zhanzhan?"
Chen Zhan looked at the wrinkled middle-aged man and smiled faintly: "Director Gu."
Gu Wenjun quickly came over and took the suitcase and fruit from Chen Zhan's hand. "Come back now. It's a waste to buy so many things. Don't buy anything next time you come here."
Chen Zan said that they were all bought casually outside the community and were not worth much.
Gu Wenjun pressed the elevator button. "Your grandmother told me that your mother was too worried about Sang Yu, so she didn't go to the airport to pick you up in time, leaving you to come back alone. She felt sorry for you."
Chen Zhan behaved appropriately and spoke softly, "I'm not a child anymore. Besides, I took a taxi back instead of walking. I don't feel wronged. But how is my sister? Is her fever gone?"
Gu Wenjun: "She still has a low fever, just observe her. You know, your mother was an elderly mother when she gave birth to her, and she was a premature baby, so she was in poor health. Last year, your sister had a high fever of 40 degrees and a sudden convulsion, which scared your mother a lot, so she is so nervous now."
Chen Zhan was surprised when he heard this, "I didn't even know about this."
Gu Wenjun smiled and said, "You are abroad and can't help much. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry."
From the moment he met Gu Wenjun until he opened the door, he kept talking about Gu Sangyu. His heart and eyes were filled with love and care for his little daughter. It would be a lie for Chen Zan to say that he was not envious.
Gu Sangyu should be a child who grows up surrounded by love, just like An An. She must be very happy.
Seeing that Chen Zan was taking no time to come up, Chen Jiaohua knew that Gu Wenjun had gone downstairs to meet him, but she still couldn't wait to put on her shoes and go downstairs to take a look.
Xu Jing didn't stop him and went into the house to check on the child. "It's so cold outside, put on more clothes."
Chen Jiaohua said she knew.
Just as she was opening the door, Gu Wenjun opened it from the outside, looked at Chen Jiaohua at the door, and asked in confusion: "Mom, where are you going?"
Chen Zhan stood behind Gu Wenjun and saw the elderly woman at a glance. He couldn't help but tremble as he said, "Grandma."
They sometimes video chat, but it is different from seeing the real person. Chen Jiaohua's eyes immediately turned red and she walked forward to hold her cold hand.
"Zhanzhan, you're finally back. Is it cold outside? Why are you wearing so little? You've lost weight. Come in and let grandma take a good look at you."
Gu Wenjun helped bring the suitcase in. Xu Jing inside heard the noise and hurried out.
Seeing Chen Zhan being pulled by Chen Jiaohua at the door, she froze for a moment. Subconsciously, she wanted to go forward, but felt hypocritical. She rubbed her palms on the hem of her clothes twice, and after a while, she slowed down her voice and said dryly, "You're back."
