In the depth of winter in Beidu, the ground is freezing and the cold wind is blowing. In the park and along the road, the bare trees are swaying in the wind with their claws spread out.

A China Southern Airlines plane landed at Beidu International Airport. The sapphire blue Maserati loaded up the people who had just landed and sped onto the highway. Chen Ran sat in the car and looked at the trees sliding backwards quickly outside the window, feeling knotted in his heart.

Layer of frost.

Maserati turned into a hill and stopped on a broad hillside. This is the famous Jingshan Villa area in Beidu.

There are several luxury villa complexes located on the hillside.

The security guard opened the large iron gate on the outside. The Maserati drove straight into the courtyard gate. The driver came down and opened the door. Chen Ran stood at the door of his house and took a breath of fresh air. Two servants came over to help carry the luggage. Chen Ran nodded and walked on foot.

Enter the main door.

It was in the evening, and the lawns of the villa complex covering an area of ​​thousands of acres were separated from the trees. A majestic Chinese and Western style building complemented the trees. The courtyard had a swimming pool, a sports field and a botanical garden. Several ancillary buildings surrounded the owner's mansion.

, standing like a castle among the trees.

The owner of the mansion is Chen Ran's father, Chen Jingtian.

After Chen Ran's grandfather Chen Kailai and Chen Jingshan disappeared mysteriously, Chen Jingtian took over the ownership of the Chen family and became the mainstay of the Chen family. He became the head of the family and expanded the industry to more than ten times its previous size.

The housekeeper Ah Fu was waiting in the living room with a group of servants. When he saw Chen Ran walking in, he smiled and said, "The second young master is back. Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Chen Ran said: "I told you."

Do you still need to ask? Chen Ran came back because his mother gave him an ultimatum and he had no choice but to come back. It must have spread throughout the whole family.

The old butler Ah Fu sighed, "When I got on the plane, I received a notice from my wife, Second Young Master, you haven't been back for nearly a year."

Chen Ran walked into the living room, and three servants came over to serve him. One brought him hot water to wash his hands, and the other helped him take off his suit jacket. The weather in the northern capital was much colder than that in the southern capital, not to mention that the contrast became more obvious in late winter.

Another servant fetched a short fox fur shawl, which was quite fashionable, and draped it on him.

"I'm going to see grandpa," Chen Ran said.

Ah Fu smiled and took a step forward, pointed in the direction and said, "The old man just took medicine and is probably eating now."

Chen Ran walked out of the living room, walked through a long corridor into the main room of another house, and walked towards the old man's bedroom.

The exterior of this villa complex is decorated in Chinese style, but the interior decoration is not lacking in fashion. There are corridors connecting each building. The structure inside is very winding, and first-timers can easily get lost if they are not careful.

Butler Ah Fu followed Chen Ran, but Chen Ran deliberately slowed down his pace.

"Is grandpa feeling better?"

Ah Fu said with a smile, "It's much better. After taking the health medicine you sent back, he is very energetic. He even went online to read your news reports and read them to the master."

Chen Ran paused obviously, a little embarrassed, and nodded.

Chen Ran's grandfather, Chen Kailai, suffers from Parkinson's disease, and his cervical spine and shoulders are not in good condition. He may have suffered from scapulohumeral cervicitis for many years. Whenever he encounters cold weather, he gets sick and cannot lift his arms.

Walking into Chen Kailai's bedroom, a maid was feeding him eight-treasure porridge.

"Grandpa," Chen Ran stepped in and walked to the old man's side. Chen Kailai waved with difficulty. The maid nodded and said "hmm" and stepped aside with the bowl in hand.

Chen Ran approached. The old man was sitting on a large wooden chair, which was cushioned with thick fur felt.

Chen Kailai is nearly eighty years old. He is an old man with gray hair and a thin face. Although his elbows are not very flexible, he is very energetic. Even if he is just lying on a wooden chair, it is not difficult to see his burly figure, which vaguely reflects his handsomeness in his youth.

character.

The old housekeeper told Chen Ran about the old man's recent situation. Chen Ran just listened silently. The grandfather slowly stretched out his hand, held Chen Ran's hand, and looked at him with a blank look, obviously not recognizing his grandson.

Chen Ran looked into his eyes and said, "I am Ah Ran, grandpa."

The old man's eyes flashed with light, and he leaned forward, as if he had remembered everything, and his hands tightened, "It's Ah Ran, brat, when did you come back?"

"I just arrived," Cheng Ran said.

The old man suddenly took out his hand again, "I'm hungry, where is my porridge?"

Chen Ran stood up, took the bowl from the maid's hand and said, "I'll do it."

"Yesterday I was still talking about the second young master," the housekeeper on the side said with a smile, "you are here today, you two still have telepathy."

Chen Ran nodded and began to feed his grandfather porridge.

Since returning from the outside world ten years ago, Chen Kailai has slowly begun to forget people.

Parkinson's disease occurs early and late, and at first there was a lot of chaos in the family.

Chen Ran didn't do much research on Parkinson's disease. The best doctors in Hengya Hospital had treated him, and they even specially invited doctors from country M for consultation.

However, this disease could only be treated with protective treatment, and due to shoulder and neck problems, it was very difficult. Gradually, he moved from the hospital to a convalescent treatment, and he had regular consultations with a dedicated family doctor.

"Take good care of yourself at home. This disease is terminal and there is no cure." These were the exact words of Chen Ran's father. "You are so old, it is good to be able to live a long life."

After drinking the porridge, the old man talked to himself for a while, as if he was reminiscing about something. He was helped to bed and fell asleep early.

The butler Ah Fu said a few words to Chen Ran and then left, going to the kitchen to give orders to prepare food.

Chen Ran returned to the living room of the main house to meet his parents. The huge dining table was filled with all kinds of delicacies. The servants were pouring wine into the decanter. Chen Huan went to the United States. His parents were sitting on the sofa.

Waiting for him while drinking tea and chatting.

Chen Ran's mother faced her husband with a slight smile and whispered something. Chen Ran's father, Chen Jintian, had a sullen face and remained silent.

There was a girl sitting leisurely on the other side of the sofa. Her waist-length hair was casually tied into a ponytail and she was wearing loose plain casual clothes. She smiled and waved to him from a distance.

It’s Chen Ran’s sister Chen Qi.

Seeing Chen Ran walking over, my mother immediately beamed with joy, while my father's face became even more gloomy, as if he had been holding in his stomach for half a century.

Chen Ran walked over and just called "Dad" and "Mom" and then stopped talking.

His mother immediately pulled him to sit down next to him, asking him questions and asking questions.

Dad stared at it like a volcano about to erupt.

Whenever he was about to have an attack and his mother would look him away, Chen Jintian would pick up the tea cup and take a sip of tea, swallowing the rising anger together with the tea.

The atmosphere during the meal was also mysterious and strange. The whole family seemed quite quiet. Only Chen's mother said, "Ah Ran, try this matsutake duck soup. You are alone outside and there is no one to wait on you. It is so tiring and tiring to go to work."

.”

Chen Ran took a sip of the soup. The scene was quiet for a while, and the sound of the spoons clashing became clearer and clearer.

Dad Chen Jintian is a person with a weird temper. He will either say nothing or make a lot of noises that will catch you off guard.
