Zhang Xingguo was really upset. "Hongmei, what happened to Shouyi?"
"Dad, Brother Zhang is fine. I finally realized that I've been living a very monotonous life for the past eighteen years."
Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo were startled. This was no small matter. What exactly happened to Shouyi?
“Hongmei, if Shouyi has done anything to wrong you, tell us. We two old folks will definitely stand by your side.” Zhang Xingguo was genuinely anxious.
"Dad, it's okay. I just realized it myself. Zhenye and the others are eighteen now, what problems could there be between us?"
Gu Chuanming stared at Zhang Hongmei, but couldn't detect any other emotion on her face. This matter still needed to be asked of Zhang Shouyi. That girl would absolutely not tell.
"Grandpa, the temperature is just right now, let's go look around." Zhang Hongmei tried to lighten the mood by quickly changing the subject.
However, the two elderly people were filled with anxiety.
Upon arriving in Haishi, everything was already arranged; we stayed at home, and the service company had already provided staff.
"Hongmei, you go ahead and do your work. We'll just go out and have a look around on our own. Don't let us delay your plans, or we won't be able to go back on Friday."
"Hehe, Grandpa, we'll definitely go back on Friday."
Okay, I'll go check out the company first. Tonight, the three of us will go to the International Hotel for dinner.
"Okay, let's go to the International Hotel."
So Zhang Hongmei went out every day, wanting to keep the two elderly people company, but she was always refused.
When Zhang Hongmei left again, Zhang Xingguo picked up the phone, but instead of calling Zhang Shouyi, he went to Zhenye.
“Zhenye, that’s Grandpa.”
Zhang Zhenye had just fallen asleep when he suddenly received a call from his grandfather, startling him. "What's wrong, Grandpa?"
"It's okay, I was just calling you at this time because I forgot the time there."
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Zhang Zhenye sat up and leaned against the headboard.
"Zhenye, when will you graduate?"
"Grandpa, we'll get our graduation certificates next September, and all thirteen of us will go back together."
Grandpa, what happened?
"It's possible there's some problem between your parents. Your great-grandfather and I are with your mother in Haishi."
Zhang Zhenye was startled. He knew about his parents' relationship; how could there be a problem?
"Alright, stop overthinking it. You'll be back in less than a year."
"Grandpa, what exactly happened?"
“We don’t know either. How could your mother say? I haven’t even had a chance to ask your father yet.”
"Okay, Grandpa, you must tell me if anything happens."
"Okay, just focus on your studies. There won't be any major problems with the two of them."
Zhang Zhenye hung up the phone. He then dialed a number back home. This was one of his own men. These were the men he had trained with.
He said a few words before hanging up the phone.
Zhang Hongmei's busy schedule these past few days has made her forget her unpleasantness. She is a very easygoing person and will never stay angry for more than three days, so she has become much more cheerful.
That evening, the three of them went out and ate some local snacks.
"Grandpa, let's bring the kids over next Friday night so they can try the food here."
Seeing Zhang Hongmei recover, Gu Chuanming finally felt relieved. "Okay, next month will almost be December."
"Yes, 1984 has passed just like that. Time flies so fast," Zhang Hongmei sighed. She continued, "I'm almost forty. I really can't believe it."
"Alright, I'm over a hundred years old."
"That's because Grandpa is in good health."
The next day, Friday, Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo bought a lot of things, all for Xiao Wu and the others.
When the three of them arrived home, Zhang Shouyi was already waiting there.
Although his wife wasn't as enthusiastic about him as before, she was at least much better than she had been a few days ago.
His fear lessened a little. But thinking of Wei Yu's phone call, a bitter feeling welled up inside him. The sons were all loyal to their mother, and Wei Yu had bluntly told Zhang Shouyi, "If my mother doesn't want you anymore, then I'll stay with her too."
Gu Chuanming and the other man called Zhang Shouyi to the study. Zhang Hongmei, on the other hand, went into her spatial dimension and cultivated for several cycles before taking a bath and coming out.
The nannies knew the young masters would be coming home today, so they prepared a very lavish dinner.
Xiao Wu clung tightly to Zhang Hongmei, asking, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?"
"Mom, I'm afraid you won't want me anymore."
"Silly boy, how could your mother abandon you? The seven of you are my life. Don't worry, your mother will never abandon you."
"real?"
"Of course, don't you believe your mother?"
"Yes, I believe in Mom."
After dinner, Gu Chuanming and his seven children showed off the gifts they had bought from Shanghai.
Xiaoqi nestled in Zhang Hongmei's arms and said, "Mom, next time you go out, you must take us with you. I also want to go out and see the world."
“Okay, no problem, we’ll go to Haishi next week.”
The children were delighted. Zhang Hongmei changed her approach to educating Xiao Wu and the other two; she planned to take them to see more of the world. At that time, Zhenye and the others didn't have the means to do so.
"Madam, it's Third Young Master on the phone."
Zhang Hongmei took it with a smile, "San'er, what's wrong?"
"Mom, can I go back to visit you during the Chinese New Year?"
"Okay, but have you passed your second major?" In fact, Zhenye and the other three had already taken the graduation exam in September of this year and passed it. After considering their family's financial situation, they decided to stay for another year and study another major.
"There's no problem, Mom, you have to trust your sons. It's just that the second brother and the fourth brother might have some issues."
"Yes, they must have been very worried when they saw you come back."
"Hehe, no, they're actually hoping we'll go back and visit. Don't worry."
"Okay, Mom will be waiting for you at home. Also, tomorrow you should discuss the technology transfer issue with your godfather and Uncle Wyatt."
"Understood, I will definitely complete the mission."
As Zhang Weiyu was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly said something that almost brought Zhang Hongmei to tears: "Mom, I will always stand by your side."
"Okay." Zhang Hongmei blinked and put down the phone.
That night, Zhang Shouyi carefully approached Zhang Hongmei and was not rejected. His heart was pounding just like it had been on their wedding night.
"Wife, have you thought of me?"
Honey, please don't scare me like that anymore.
"Wife, you absolutely must believe me."
That night, Zhang Shouyi talked a lot. He was really scared, afraid of losing Zhang Hongmei.
