The scene at the hospital was tense as Old Mr. Chu lay on the bed, his frail form connected to multiple tubes and a respirator keeping him alive. A personal physician stood by, ready to attend to his needs at any moment.
Chu Han approached the bed and whispered to the old man, "Grandpa, I brought her home."
Old Mr. Chu turned his head to look behind Chu Han, and his eyes fell on Chu Ci standing at the door. The old man's gaze lingered on her for a while, his expression complex and difficult to read.
Finally, Old Mr. Chu spoke solemnly, "It's good to be back."
Despite the fact that his granddaughter looked exactly like his deceased wife, Old Mr. Chu didn't show much excitement or joy at seeing her again after so many years. Chu Ci wasn't even allowed to approach the bedside to get a closer look at her grandfather.He instructed Chu Han to take her to her room and help her with anything she might need in the future. Chu Han, who had doubts about Chu Ci but didn't want to question his ailing grandfather, agreed to do as he was told
He led Chu Ci to her room, which had been hastily prepared for her after Old Mr. Chu announced her return. The room was located at the end of the corridor and was somewhat isolated from the rest of the mansion. But it was spacious, bright, and luxuriously decorated.
"This is your room." Chu Han said.
"I don't have to pay rent to live here, right? You voluntarily let me move in, right?" Chu Ci's voice was lazy and quite comfortable to listen to.
To be on the safe side, Chu Ci had better confirm that the Chu family really wanted to provide food and accommodation.
Chu Han felt sad for a moment.
He thought to himself that she was his biological sister after all, yet she was so cautious.
This room was not a good one in their home, it had the configuration of the guest room. Due of the lack of time and the lack of attention from the family, no one prepared the room for her.
And she was so careful to confirm with him whether she wanted to pay the rent.
"No." Chu Han replied, and followed Chu Han to see Chu Ci's clothes.
Thinking of Chu Ci's hardship, Chu Han wanted to make up for her, "I will take you out to buy clothes in the afternoon."
"Will you give it to me? ?" Chu Ci confirmed.
"Yeah." Chu Han felt even more uncomfortable. He was her brother, and she didn't have to be so cautious.
Thinking of this, Chu Han couldn't help but said: "You don't have to be so polite to me, I will let you live a good life in the future."
"Okay, as long as you have food and housing." Chu Ci didn't have any requirements for other things. .
"Then you take a rest first and have lunch on time at twelve o'clock. After lunch, I will take you out to the mall."
"Okay."
After Chu Han left, Chu Ci took out the computer he brought.
White text on a black background, all letters, not a single Chinese character in sight.
In the special chat interface, a contact abroad sent a greeting.
[Boss, why did you wake up so early today? ] it is Chu Ci's subordinate.
Anyone familiar with Chu Ci knows that she sleeps during the day and works at night.
Mainly because the company's headquarters is in country M, which has a twelve-hour time difference from China.
[A little something. ] Chu Ci replied.
[Why do I think that something that can make you wake up early must be something big? ]
