Chapter 5: Moving into the Chu Family (2)
The old and thin Mr. Chu was lying on the hospital bed, with many tubes inserted into his body and a respirator on his mouth.
There was also a personal physician on call at the bedside.
Chu Han came to the bed and reported to Mr. Chu softly:
"Grandpa, I picked him up."
The old man on the bed turned his head and looked behind Chu Han.
Chu Ci stood at the door and didn't go any closer.
When he saw Chu Ci, the old man's eyes were complicated.
He looked at Chu Ci for a long time.
After a long while, Mr. Chu said solemnly: "It's good that you're back."
Old Master Chu did not show much excitement or joy towards this granddaughter who looked exactly like his deceased wife and whom he had not seen for many years.
He didn't even let Chu Ci go to the bedside to take a closer look at his granddaughter.
Then Mr. Chu said to Chu Han: "Take her to her room. If she needs anything in the future, you can arrange it for her."
"Okay, I understand, grandpa." Although Chu Han had doubts about Chu Ci in his heart, he would not ask his grandfather who was already seriously ill.
Chu Han took Chu Ci to the room arranged for her.
The room was just cleaned yesterday.
Only when his grandfather announced that he would bring his sister back home did he instruct the housekeeper to convert a guest room into Chu Ci's room.
This is a room located at the end of the corridor, which is a bit remote compared to other rooms in the Chu family mansion.
After opening the door, Chu Ci saw a spacious, bright and luxuriously decorated room.
"This is your room." Chu Han said.
"I don't have to pay rent to live here, right? You let me move in voluntarily, right?" Chu Ci's voice was lazy, and it sounded quite comfortable.
To be on the safe side, Chu Ci decided to confirm whether the Chu family would really provide food and accommodation.
Chu Han felt sad for a moment.
He thought, she is his biological sister after all, yet she is so cautious.
This room was not considered good in their home, it was just a guest room. Due to lack of time and lack of attention from the family, no one prepared the room properly for her.
And she was so careful to confirm with him whether he wanted to pay the rent.
"No need." Chu Han replied. Then Chu Han saw the clothes on Chu Ci. Thinking of Chu Ci's difficulties, Chu Han wanted to compensate her a little. "I'll take you out to buy clothes in the afternoon."
"Are you giving it to me?" Chu Ci confirmed.
"Yeah." Chu Han felt even more uncomfortable. He was her younger brother, and she didn't need to be so cautious and careful.
Thinking of this, Chu Han couldn't help but say, "You don't have to be so polite to me. I will make sure you live a good life in the future."
"Don't worry, as long as I have food and shelter, that's enough." Chu Ci didn't have any other requirements.
"Then you take a rest first and have lunch on time at twelve o'clock. After lunch, I will take you out to the mall."
"good."
After Chu Han left, Chu Ci took out the computer he brought with him.
Black background with white text, all letters, not a single Chinese character can be seen.
A special chat interface, a contact abroad sent greetings.
[Boss, why did you wake up so early today?] It was Chu Ci's subordinate.
Those who are familiar with Chu Ci know that she slept during the day and worked at night.
The main reason is that the company’s headquarters is in Country M, which has a twelve-hour time difference with China.
"It's just a small matter." Chu Ci replied.
[Why do I feel that something that can make you wake up early must be a big deal? 】
