Mr. Guan disappeared and there was no news for several months.
A few months have passed, and most people have given up hope and don't think Mr. Guan will ever come back.
Even Mr. Guan’s own son and daughter-in-law searched for Mr. Guan for several days after he disappeared, but could not be found. They also lost their patience and left the responsibility of searching to their daughter Guan Xiaoguan. They themselves flew back abroad.
went.
Although Guan Xiaoguan searched for him for a long time and even called the police and posted a missing person notice, after a few months, she basically gave up.
Only Han Chunming still had hope and had been searching hard. He firmly believed that nothing happened to Mr. Guan, but he was hiding somewhere to watch their 'jokes'.
Because of Han Chunming's persistence, Baoshahou also helped in the search.
Compared with them, Mr. Guan’s son and daughter-in-law really feel sorry for their blood relationship.
Because of the disappearance of Mr. Guan, Meng Xiaozao was kicked out of the small courtyard by Yu Jinxian. Originally, they had nowhere to go and had no choice but to return to their hometown. However, Zhou Chen liked the kind and sensible Meng Xiaozao very much, so he let them move into his apartment.
Living in a courtyard house.
Meng Xiaozao was not idle, but listened to Han Chunyan's words and went to take care of Han's mother's daily life during the day. Li Yuejin was arranged by Han Chunming to work in his engineering team.
Zhou Chen is in a pretty good mood recently, because the second Chenxing Plaza is almost completed.
It has been two years since the first Chenxing Plaza opened. Because of Zhou Chen’s design concept that surpassed the current decades, business was very booming after its opening, so it didn’t take long for the second Chenxing Plaza to start construction again.
Although the business development was very good, Zhou Chen did not give up his job of teaching at Peking University.
Of course, this is also because this job is very easy. Since he was appointed as a professor, and he is in an unpopular major such as the Department of Archeology, so he does not have many courses and can completely cope with it.
After class, Zhou Chen returned to the office. Not long after he sat down, someone suddenly came over to notify him.
"Professor Zhou, the security office called and said that someone is looking for you and asked you to come over."
"Is there anyone at the door looking for me?"
Zhou Chen put down his pen and looked surprised. He neither called him nor went to his home to look for him. Instead, he came to the school to look for him. This meant that the person who looked for him must not be familiar with him.
"Okay, I understand, thank you."
With curiosity, Zhou Chen went to the guard room and found that the person looking for him was a stranger he had never seen before.
"Hello, are you Professor Zhou Chenzhou?"
"Yes, I am Zhou Chen. Who are you?"
"I was asked to deliver a letter to you."
This man took out an envelope from his body and handed it to Zhou Chen. After Zhou Chen accepted it, he said goodbye and left.
After walking out of the guard room, Zhou Chen looked at the letter in his hand and opened it curiously.
This was indeed a letter, but the content shocked Zhou Chen because it was sent to him by someone he didn't expect at all.
After reading the letter, Zhou Chen showed a stunned smile on his face: "Hey, this old man, does he trust me so much?"
Because of the sudden arrival of this letter, Zhou Chen left work early and drove to the address written in the letter.
After driving for more than an hour, we finally arrived at our destination.
Looking at the somewhat dilapidated small courtyard in front of him, Zhou Chen was filled with emotion. It was strange that Han Chunming and the others could find it in such a remote place.
Walking into the campus, Zhou Chen saw Mr. Guan, whom he had not seen for a long time. He was lying on a recliner, basking in the sun leisurely.
"Hey, old man, I haven't seen you like this. You seem to be doing well."
…………
A few days later, a villa in the suburbs.
Zhou Chen brewed tea slowly and methodically. After the tea was ready, he brought a cup to Mr. Guan opposite.
"This villa is in my name, but no one else knows it. You can live here with peace of mind. I have arranged a nanny here. If you need anything else, I will have it sent over."
"I want Xiaozao to serve me, can you agree?"
"There is nothing I dare not do. As long as you have no objection, I will go and pick up Xiaozao now."
"Boy, you actually dare to take over Grandpa's army. You've become more capable."
"Didn't you bring this up first? I'm just following your wishes."
Zhou Chen and Mr. Guan both laughed.
After not seeing each other for several months, Mr. Guan actually looks much better than when he was discharged from the hospital.
"You used this trick to escape from the golden cicada. It was very slippery. You didn't see it. It scared those people."
"Looking at your tone, you don't seem to be scared by me?"
"Haha, of course I am different from them. I know exactly how your physical condition is. What's more, you still have so many treasures to deal with. How can you be willing to leave this world?"
Mr. Guan laughed happily and said: "It turns out that after all this trouble for most of my life, the person who understands me best is actually a boy like you."
"I won't talk about your son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter-in-law. I'll just talk about my brother-in-law Han Chunming. A few months have passed and he still hasn't recovered. He sits on the doorstep every day and looks forward to your return."
Mr. Guan sighed: "You think I think, if it weren't for my son and disrespectful daughter-in-law, I wouldn't be hiding. Chunming is my disciple. I'm not wrong. Accepting him will be the old man's responsibility for the rest of my life."
, the most correct thing to do.”
Although he was hiding, he had heard about the situation at home, so he was naturally aware of his apprentice Han Chunming's filial piety.
"However, I have to do this. Who makes me want to live a happy life for a few more years?"
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "In my opinion, you are always too indecisive. In my opinion, why should you be so aggrieved? Just go to the civil affairs department to sever ties with your son and daughter-in-law."
"Hey, you kid, you're teasing me on purpose, right?"
"I'm just thinking about you."
"piss off."
Mr. Guan rolled his eyes. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with his son and disliked his daughter-in-law, he had never thought of severing ties with his son.
For him, his son is his only child. As an old father, how can he bear to sever ties with his son, let alone a granddaughter he likes very much.
"You can stay here as you like. When do you want to meet Chunming and the others, just tell me and I will make arrangements for you."
"Forget it, I want to live a happy life for a few years first, and we can talk about meeting later. But you should come and talk to me more often in the future."
"That's no problem, but I told you in advance not to drink indiscriminately. If you really can't help it, just tell me and I will give you an appropriate amount to drink based on your situation."
"Okay, okay, if you can't even drink, what's the point of living?"
Zhou Chen felt that after he arranged for Mr. Guan, nothing further would happen.
But he still underestimated Mr. Guan's willfulness. Before notifying him, Mr. Guan had already arranged his own funeral arrangements and had a plan to fake his own death.
Good guy, Mr. Guan's 'death' immediately caused an uproar.
Zhou Chen came to the villa in the suburbs and saw Mr. Guan sitting at the dining table in a daze. The food on the table was not moved at all, as if he was wandering in the sky. Even Zhou Chen's footsteps did not wake him up.
It wasn't until Zhou Chen sat down in front of him that Mr. Guan came back to his senses.
"I said, old man, this move of yours is really cruel. You haven't seen that my brother-in-law is so sad. Your son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, and grandson-in-law together, he is not the only one who is sad. That's true.
It was so sad that the listeners shed tears. Even I, a hard-blooded man, was moved by his sincerity."
"Come on, stop talking nonsense and tell me the situation." Mr. Guan said angrily.
"The situation is that they have erected a tombstone for you and are preparing to do something. Yesterday, Chunming stayed with you and cried all night at your tomb."
"...this boy."
Out of a thousand words, Mr. Guan only said three words, but his tears could not help but flow down.
After a long while, Mr. Guan finally calmed down and said, "Have they also received my suicide note?"
"I got it, I guess it won't be long before they get into trouble."
Zhou Chen said angrily.
He knew the plot, so he knew very well what kind of trouble the Guan family had with Han Chunming over the old things left by Mr. Guan.
If it were him, he wouldn't be polite at all. He would just take the suicide note and collect all the things belonging to Mr. Guan. Don't talk about being disrespectful. Even if he donated all the things to the museum, it would still be worse than giving it to Guan's father and mother.
They are strong.
It was a pity that Han Chunming cherished feathers, valued family ties and friendship, and was afraid of being gossiped about behind his back, so he returned all the things to the Guan family in an upright manner.
