The car stopped in front of her. Gu Lingguo got out and opened the back door for her. "Comrade Zhong, please."
"Thank you." Zhong Yuxiu nodded with a smile.
Wan Yuning saw it all. He had known for a few years that her status and position had changed a lot, but seeing it with his own eyes made him feel completely different.
Zhong Yuxiu turned around and asked, "Comrade Wan Yuning, did you drive here?"
"No, I just hitchhiked here." The Wan family was considered to be in decline, and the family property that was donated could never be taken back; now he had found a pretty good accounting job with compensation, and he still had some connections from the past. Plus, with the Wan family's big mansion, he was living a pretty good life.
However, it is unrealistic to buy a car. Domestic cars are hard to buy and their performance is not perfect; foreign cars are even harder to buy, and without connections in this area, forget it.
Ever since Wan Xuetang fell ill, he has been working while taking care of him by his bedside. Accounting work does not require going to work every day, so once a week is enough. His salary can barely cover the expenses of both father and son, and he has never thought about getting married.
The Wan family was a mess after returning, so why bother adding another person to the mix?
"Then get in the car." Zhong Yuxiu turned around and got in the car, giving up her seat to Wan Yuning.
"good."
Wan Yuning nodded and got into the car; Gu Lingguo closed the door, walked around the front of the car, drove out of the yard, and headed towards Zhongguancun and then to Shangjing.
After leaving Zhongguancun, Zhong Yuxiu finally spoke, "Wan Yuning informed me that I have a question for you."
"You ask." Wan Yuning's expression calmed down and returned to normal, but no one knew that he was anxious inside.
Zhong Yuxiu asked, "How did you find this place?"
Wan Yuning's expression froze, then he regained his composure. "You know, our Wan family used to have a wide network of contacts, but now it's not as well connected as before. However, some of our connections are still useful. You've registered with us and live in the military compound. Your reputation in the scientific research community isn't huge, but you're definitely not an unknown individual."
What this means is that it is not difficult to find out where she lives now.
"You are still so smart." From the original owner's memory, we can know that Wan Yuning is not a stupid person; he was restricted by the current situation and could not develop himself. After returning to the city, he did not recognize his own status. Now he has recognized it, but his family makes him unable to let go and he cannot develop wholeheartedly.
With the Wan family's connections, as long as Wan Yuning works hard, I think his current achievements will not be far behind Yan Rushan even if they are not as good as Yan Rushan's.
Looking at the Wan family now, they only have a few connections, and they become less and less as time goes by; once Wan Xuetang leaves, the number of connections handed over to Wan Yuning will definitely drop sharply, and by then, Wan Yuning will have missed the best opportunity to get rich.
Zhong Yuxiu sighed silently, as long as Wan Yuning was willing to cheer up, everything would be fine.
The Wan family is born with a talent for business. Wan Yuning was the heir cultivated by Wan Xuetang. Without the constraints of his family, Wan Yuning is bound to achieve something.
"No, I'm stupid. If I were smart, I wouldn't do anything to disappoint you." Wan Yuning recognized his own shortcomings. His ruthlessness towards Zhong Yuxiu back then earned him the indifference from her today. Isn't it fair?
Zhong Yuxiu said, "It's all in the past, why bring it up again?"
Wan Yuning turned his head to look at the person standing beside him, and a scene hidden deep in his memory emerged; they had grown up together, and he had raised her single-handedly. He was a few years older than her, and he had loved her very much when they were little. When she could walk, he would take her out to play, and when she was old enough to go to school, he would take her to school with him.
Why would such a good relationship be defeated by blood ties?
It was probably the guilt and debt he and his father felt, and the heartache they felt towards Wan Yutong.
When Wan Yutong returned, he told his father how hard life was in the countryside. He was often scolded by his adoptive parents, and how hard it was to eat and wear warm clothes. In the winter, he had to go out to collect firewood for food, and there was endless work to do every day. At that time, they couldn't help but think of Zhong Yuxiu's life in the Wan family. She had no worries about food and clothing, and was raised with fair skin and lovely. She was not beautiful when she grew up, but you could tell at a glance that she was a girl who had been pampered.
With comparison, the harm is infinitely magnified, and their guilt will only increase.
As time went by, the father and son couldn't help but feel resentful towards Zhong Yuxiu. Otherwise, they would not have known what Wan Yutong did to Zhong Yuxiu and let it go.
"The most difficult times are over. What's the point of thinking about the past?" Zhong Yuxiu was indifferent to Wan Yuning's gaze.
Wan Yuning smiled bitterly, "I know, but my dad and I always think of the time when we lived as a family of three." Without Wan Yutong, they were just a family of three, how happy they were.
Even though his father handed over the family property, their life was not as luxurious as before; however, they were not doing badly, after all, the foundation was there.
The Wan family has been operating the business for generations, and has accumulated a wealth of experience unknown to others.
Zhong Yuxiu gave him a sidelong glance, her heart still calm; the original owner died, and their relationship was over. She occupied the original owner's body and had a causal relationship with the original owner, but that didn't mean she had to bear everything that the original owner had.
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it. It's too late to talk about this now." The girl who wanted to go home died. She was gone. She lost her life at the educated youth camp.
Wan Yuning just thought she had grown cold-hearted, "It's too late."
For the rest of the journey, neither of them spoke; Wan Yuning felt particularly uncomfortable. The brother and sister who used to talk about everything now acted like strangers when sitting together.
As the car drove into Shangjing City, Gu Lingguo asked, "How do I get to the Wan family?"
They did investigate, but they only got some information on paper and had not been there in person.
"Go left, drive straight to the big roundabout in front and drive on the left lane..."
With Wan Yuning's guidance, they arrived at the Wan family's yard smoothly; Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong got out of the car first, observed the surrounding environment, and made sure it was safe. Then they walked to the side where Zhong Yuxiu was and opened the car door.
"Comrade Zhong, please get out of the car."
Zhong Yuxiu raised her head and glanced at the mansion she had not seen for a long time. Her gaze paused and she felt several inquiring gazes coming at her. She walked past Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong, and extended her mental power. In an instant, she could clearly see the direction of the gazes.
She lowered her head slightly, opened her red lips, and did not forget to walk towards the Wan family's residence.
"There is one person in the southwest, northwest, northeast, and in front." After she finished speaking, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the investigators, she took the lead and walked to the door of the Wan family.
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong didn't understand what was going on at first, but when they saw her steady as a rock, their hearts trembled. They quickly followed her, blocking all sight without leaving any trace.
Wan Yuning opened the car door and walked over, not noticing anything unusual.
"Yuxiu, let me open the door. Let's go in and talk." As he said this, he took out the key, unlocked the door and invited Zhong Yuxiu in.
When they went in, there were only three people, and Fang Guozhong stayed outside to watch the car; since they knew that someone was investigating, the vehicle was the key to be guarded.
