Federal, Guan family.
Guan Yi came out of Guan Heng's study. His grandfather had called him back this summer to ask him what he thought: whether he wanted to stay in Beijing or return to the Federation after graduation. Guan Yi hadn't decided yet.
He opened his phone and saw the group messages from the lab, only then realizing that Yue Lang had taken on a new student.
In the past, Guan Yi was in charge of recruiting new members for the lab. However, he was not present for this assessment, so Yue Lang had to make the selection himself. Based on Guan Yi's understanding of the teachers, unless someone was exceptionally outstanding, they probably wouldn't add any new members, let alone have the teachers personally mentor them.
Unexpectedly, he wasn't here this year, but a junior brother came instead. He's said to have gotten a perfect score on the assessment and is quite impressive. Guan Yi has already bought a plane ticket back to Beijing the day after tomorrow and is just waiting to go back and see him.
He sent a welcome message in the group chat and, as is customary, also sent a red envelope.
Guan Heng called him back this time not only to ask about his post-graduation plans, but also to tell him to go see his aunt's child, who is his cousin.
Guan Heng didn't say why, but Guan Yi guessed that his grandfather probably missed his grandson and was afraid of a generation gap, so he had no choice but to let him go.
Guan Heng is a native of Yancheng. His family has been in business for three generations, and his grandfather's generation was already the richest family in Yancheng.
Guan Heng has three children, and he loves his youngest daughter, Guan Yao, who is Guan Yi's aunt, the most.
When Guan Yao was studying, she was admitted to the Department of Mathematics at Peking University. There, she met a member of the Lu family in Beijing. The two fell in love, got married, and settled in Beijing.
Guan Heng doesn't interfere much with his children's marriages, as long as Guan Yao is happy. Guan Yao has always been a person with her own opinions, and Guan Heng has always trusted her.
Guan Yao is not only an excellent student, but also a skilled violinist. She participated in various music competitions during her school years and always came in first place. She was the first Chinese person to win the highest international violin performance award.
At that time, Guan Yao was the first and only student accepted by Yan Zhengming, the president of the Beijing Music Association.
In addition to her musical achievements, Guan Yao is also academically outstanding. The Peking University Mathematics Laboratory had never accepted freshmen before, but Guan Yao broke this long-standing tradition and joined the laboratory as a freshman.
In four years, Guan Yao produced more results than the entire laboratory team combined, instantly becoming a top figure in the mathematics department.
Because of Guan Yao, the math lab removed the rule that freshmen could not participate in the assessment and was fully open to all grades.
Guan Yao ultimately graduated from Peking University as an outstanding student.
Just when everyone thought Guan Yao was going to make a name for herself in the fields of mathematics or music, she got married.
She married the heir of the Lu family, one of the four great families in the capital. Shortly after the marriage, Guan Yao gave birth to her eldest son, Lu Shifeng. After the marriage, she gradually retired from public life, which everyone secretly regretted.
The next news we heard about Guan Yao was that she had been in a car accident in Yancheng and died despite all efforts to save her. Everyone lamented the untimely death of this genius.
Guan Yao's husband, the heir of the Lu family, was heartbroken when he learned of this and wanted to go to Yancheng to bring Guan Yao back, but Guan Yao's father refused.
People vaguely guessed that there was some hidden story behind it, but unfortunately no one knew. As time went by, Guan Yao's death gradually faded from public attention.
As Guan Yao's father, Guan Heng knew the specifics of the situation. He regretted not caring more, which led his daughter to this point.
Guan Yao and Lu Jingyan met at Peking University. Guan Yao was a mathematics major and Lu Jingyan was a finance major. They fell in love at first sight and naturally started dating.
After graduating from university, Guan Yao and Lu Jingyan got married. Guan Yao returned to her family for love, and Lu Jingyan did not like Guan Yao to appear in public. Guan Yao loved Lu Jingyan very much at the time, so she agreed.
Guan Yao gave birth to Lu Shifeng and devoted herself to taking care of her son. When Lu Shifeng entered high school, Guan Yao wanted to have her own career.
Whether she goes to make music or returns to the lab, Guan Yao has already experienced a complete family life, and Lu Shifeng is older now. She believes it's time for her to pursue her own career.
Lu Jingyan flew into a rage upon hearing Guan Yao's suggestion, saying, "Can't she just stay at home and enjoy herself? Why does she need to go out and work?" Lu Jingyan wouldn't allow it.
Guan Yao had a big fight with Lu Jingyan over this, and the two started arguing frequently. In a fit of anger, Guan Yao went back to her parents' home.
Lu Jingyan was busy expanding the Lu family business at the time and didn't bother with Guan Yao. He figured she could go back to her own business and would come back sooner or later.
Guan Yao only discovered she was pregnant after returning to Yan City. She was furious with Lu Jingyan and ordered her family not to tell anyone.
Guan Yao then settled down in Yancheng to rest and prepare for her pregnancy. Guan Heng was unaware that Guan Yao and Lu Jingyan had quarreled. Guan Yao appeared calm, only saying that she hadn't been home for a long time and wanted to return to Yancheng to visit.
When Guan Heng heard Guan Yao tell him not to tell Lu Jingyan about his pregnancy, he assumed that Guan Yao wanted to give Lu Jingyan a surprise, so he agreed.
During her pregnancy, Guan Yao resumed her previous research. When the fetus was eight months along, Guan Yao submitted her findings to the Beijing Institute of Mathematics.
Somehow, Lu Jingyan found out about the news and sent a message questioning Guan Yao about what she was trying to do. Guan Yao didn't reply, so Lu Jingyan called her directly.
Guan Yao was driving and was on her way to the post office to pick up some documents when she saw Lu Jingyan's call. She hung up immediately, but Lu Jingyan kept calling. Guan Yao was very angry, but she finally answered.
As expected, the two started arguing on the phone. Guan Yao felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, which meant her water had broken.
Guan Yao hung up the phone and wanted to change her route to a nearby hospital, but unexpectedly, she encountered a drunk driver who hit her directly, and Guan Yao immediately passed out.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself being taken to the emergency room. Guan Yao looked at her worried parents surrounding her, as well as her two older brothers who had rushed back from out of town, and burst into tears.
Guan Yao told them they must save Xiao, save her child, and then she fainted again.
Guan Yao died during childbirth.
The baby was born prematurely and died after spending a few days in the hospital incubator.
Guan Heng was devastated. Only then did he learn from Guan Yao's phone messages that she and Lu Jingyan had argued. Guan Heng hated himself for not paying attention to his daughter's situation in time, which led to the current situation.
Guan Heng's wife, Guan Yao's mother, was also devastated by Guan Yao's death and passed away not long afterward.
Guan Heng was devastated by the successive deaths of his daughter and wife. After handling their funerals, he sold all his possessions and left Yancheng.
Guan Heng was furious with Lu Jingyan, refusing to let him see Guan Yao one last time. He told Lu Jingyan that his daughter had died because of him and her unborn child, and only then did Lu Jingyan learn that Guan Yao was pregnant.
The phone call he made to Guan Yao led to the deaths of Guan Yao and her child.
