Chapter 52 Grandma Zhou Chi'an's words are so strange.
Ye Zhen took a car directly back to the villa.
Of course, she also received messages and phone calls from the Ye family while on the road.
Ye Zhen didn't even glance at it.
She didn't need to look to know what the Ye family would say, and she had no interest in dealing with them right now.
Back at the villa, Ye Zhen subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
He Hanjing looked at her: "Congratulations on winning first place, why aren't you happy?"
"Don't even mention it. Although I got first place based on my own ability, He Baizhou said outside that it was because of him that his older brother used connections to get me first place."
Ye Zhen was somewhat disappointed.
He Hanjing's expression changed slightly: "He said that?"
"Yes, it makes me doubt myself, whether I really have this ability."
"You don't need to doubt your abilities."
A thoughtful look flashed in He Hanjing's eyes. He hadn't expected He Baizhou to say such things outside.
Ye Zhen nodded: "Of course I know, but sometimes I still envy He Baizhou for having such a good older brother. At least a hundred times better than my brother."
He Hanjing knew that she was also in the same situation as the Ye family.
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Would you like to visit the lab?"
"Sure, I can help you with the project after I finish my work today."
After all, he had helped me so much, so I had to do something for him.
"Then you go and take a look first, I'll make a phone call."
Ye Zhen didn't ask any more questions. She knew where the basement was and went straight down.
He Hanjing immediately called He Baizhou.
He Baizhou replied immediately: "Big brother, I'm already at the company, I definitely didn't slack off."
He Baizhou was worried that his older brother had come to check up on him.
He Hanjing said coldly, "I heard you've been telling everyone that I used connections to get your fiancée first place?"
"No, no."
He Baizhou was terrified and covered in cold sweat. He had only shown off in front of the Ye family to get Ye Zhen to treat him better. Who would have thought that this matter would reach He Hanjing's ears so quickly?
"You even got into a fight at the venue. Is this how you run the organization?"
"Big brother, I was wrong. I will never do it again."
He Baizhou immediately admitted his mistake, it seems the fight had blown up so much that his older brother found out about it.
He Hanjing continued, "Ye Zhen won first place because of her strength. I would never joke about such things."
Really?
He Baizhou was surprised that Ye Zhen was so capable; no wonder she was his fiancée.
He Hanjing responded calmly, "Don't talk nonsense in the future."
"I see."
He Hanjing then hung up the phone.
He Baizhou was immediately at his wits' end. He went to the person in charge of the event to ask Ye Zhen how she had won first place.
After listening, the person in charge replied, "She is excellent, and there is no doubt that she is number one."
He Baizhou was even happier after hearing this. He hadn't expected Ye Zhen to win the award based on her own merit, so he didn't have to worry about anything anymore.
No wonder Ye Zhen is so angry. It seems he needs to make time to coax her.
——
Ye Zhen has been helping out in the villa's laboratory, and she's been very dedicated.
The next day, she received a message from Liu Qing asking if she was free.
Ye Zhen then remembered that Zhou Chi'an's grandmother wanted to see her.
However, yesterday was a special day, and she didn't go with Liu Qing and the others.
Ye Zhen hesitated for a moment while looking at her phone, after all, she was quite busy herself.
He Hanjing noticed her staring blankly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. A friend asked me if I was free this weekend, saying he wanted to celebrate my award with me."
"Then go ahead."
He Hanjing was also happy for Ye Zhen; it was a good thing that she had made friends.
A hint of joy flashed in Ye Zhen's eyes: "Then I'll go in the afternoon and I'll be back soon."
"No need, I'm going out in a bit, you don't need to rush back."
Ye Zhen felt much more relaxed after hearing him say that: "By the way, I'll transfer the bonus to you first when it arrives."
"Hmm, no rush."
He Hanjing watched Ye Zhen's departing figure. If he could take care of her to the best of his ability, then the scene in his dream wouldn't happen.
Regardless, I can only feel at ease after her exams are over.
——
Ye Zhen went directly to the place she had arranged to meet Liu Qing.
It's not a shopping mall, but a milk tea shop in an urban village.
Ye Zhen took a taxi to this place and quickly found Liu Qing.
Liu Qing brought her a cup of milk tea: "Has Miss never been to a place like this before?"
“I used to live in a place like this, so everything here is even more familiar to me.”
Ye Zhen wasn't talking nonsense; this was her true thought.
Ye Zhen looked at Liu Qing: "Has Grandma Zhou been discharged from the hospital?"
"Not yet. The hospital is nearby. Are you going today? I promised to celebrate with you."
"Let's go today."
Ye Zhen thought that she would be busy on weekends from now on and probably wouldn't be able to come over again, so she decided to get things done today.
When Ye Zhen went to the hospital, she specially bought fruit to visit him.
When the two entered the ward, only Grandma Zhou was lying in bed, and she looked to be in good health.
Liu Qing walked over with a smile: "Grandma, look who I brought?"
Ye Zhen walked over with a smile: "Grandma Zhou."
The moment Grandma Zhou saw Ye Zhen, a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes: "You..."
She looks quite a bit like Zhou Chi'an.
Liu Qing quickly said, "Her name is Ye Zhen."
"Oh, Ye Zhen, thank you for your money, otherwise I wouldn't be able to have the surgery."
Grandma Zhou pressed Zhou Chi'an for answers, and that's when she found out where the money for the surgery came from. She then forced Zhou Chi'an to repay the money.
"Grandma Zhou, there's no rush about the money. I'm not short of money anyway."
Ye Zhen gritted her teeth and said those words.
But her heart was bleeding; she was still heavily in debt and was working in someone else's lab to pay it off.
But these were minor issues for her.
"I've already had him write you an IOU; you must take it later."
Grandma Zhou was very stubborn and wouldn't let Zhou Chi'an go astray.
At this moment, Zhou Chi'an returned carrying a water bottle.
He was somewhat surprised to see Ye Zhen. He hadn't expected her to come, especially since the Ye family hadn't treated her well that day. They called it a celebration banquet, but it seemed more like a trap.
Grandma Zhou quickly said, "Chi An, come here quickly and give the IOU to Miss Ye."
"I see."
Zhou Chi'an took out an IOU directly from the drawer, but Ye Zhen didn't take it: "There's no need to write an IOU."
This was originally a deal between her and Zhou Chi'an.
Zhou Chi'an had little patience and simply shoved it into Ye Zhen's hand: "Take it if it's yours."
Ye Zhen couldn't refuse in front of Old Madam Zhou, so she could only return the IOU to Zhou Chi'an later.
Grandma Zhou was relieved: "Although Chi An is a child I adopted, he works very hard. If it weren't for my poor health, I wouldn't be a burden to him."
Zhou Chi'an said, "Grandma, I don't feel like you're a burden to me."
Ye Zhen looked on with a hint of envy; at least Zhou Chi'an had such a loving grandmother.
At this moment, Grandma Zhou took Ye Zhen's hand and said, "Miss Ye, were you also adopted by an orphanage before?"
