Three days later.
Qian family.
Qian Shouzhong was sitting on the massage sofa. The vibrations coming from behind him were constantly stimulating the Yamen acupoint and Fengchi acupoint on the back of his neck. Because the doctor said it would help alleviate the sequelae of stroke, Qian Yukun bought him this and also A service package was customized at a specialized nursing institution, and a dedicated person would come here every week to give him a full-body massage, focusing on acupuncture points such as Zusanli, Quchi, and Shenting.
"Old man, it's been more than two months since you came back from the hospital. Should you ask Yukun and Sanyi to go home for a meal?"
"Called...what did he do?"
The status of the old man is there. The hospital has invested huge medical resources in a comprehensive treatment. Not to mention, the effect is quite obvious. Although his speech is still a bit unclear and he will drool after sitting for a long time, at least he can communicate and communicate. That's it.
Dong Xia was not surprised that he would say this. Anyway, the old man didn't like his son who was obsessed with making money. He didn't even call him during the New Year or the holidays. It was all because of Qian Yukun's initiative to fulfill his filial piety. He was very fond of Qian Sanyi, a good grandson. Shang Xin, I can't say enough about Pei Yin, I like him very much.
"I heard that Sanyi did not do well in the mid-term exam this time and has some mental problems. I asked them to go home together because I wanted my son and daughter-in-law... Pei Yin to have a good talk and see if there is a good way to enlighten Sanyi."
"generally?"
Qian Shouzhong still didn't know about Sunsun's failure in the mid-term exam.
"Well, I heard that I got second place in the exam this time."
Dong Xia did not dare to say that the first place was Lin Yue. It had been more than half a year since the birthday banquet. When the old man heard the name "Lin Yue", he even boasted about his beard and glared, and his whole body became hard. This must tell him that his good grandson was beaten by that guy. He is far behind. If his anger breaks out and BIAJI ends up in the hospital again, it will be tragic.
Sure enough, when he heard that Qian Sanyi got second place in the exam, Qian Shouzhong grinned and his raised hand trembled continuously, feeling a little excited.
"Looking for...him to come back...it's better...to find Yuwen...to discuss..."
It was obvious that he trusted his protégé more than his own son.
"By the way...Yuwen...hasn't he come back yet?"
Dong Xia said: "According to the original plan, I was supposed to come back the day before yesterday. I called and asked, and he said that there was an emergency that needed to be dealt with, and it would take some time before he could come back."
Jiang Yuwen naturally wouldn't tell her that he was restricted from leaving the country. After all, it was not a glorious thing and they couldn't help. Telling her would only make Qian Shouzhong and his wife worried and anxious, so he simply kept it a secret.
"Look... Yu Wen... won another... grand prize, the Gordon Bell Award... do you know what this award means...?"
Dong Xia shook her head. Not to mention the Gordon Bell Award, she didn't know what it was. If the old man hadn't explained the previous Hussein Award to her, she wouldn't have known the use of an award that didn't even amount to ten thousand US dollars.
"The Nobel Prize for supercomputer...you know, uh...supercomputer applications..."
Computer Dong Xia knows, supercomputer? Also application areas? She was a little confused. She was almost seventy years old after all, but the four words "Nobel Prize" were extremely important - anyone with a little bit of culture would have never heard of this.
I had a phone call with Jiang Yuwen before. He said that winning the Gordon Bell Award would make the teacher happy. The old lady didn’t think much of it. When relaying the story, she even referred to Gordon Bell as Laden Bell. Thanks to the old man’s erudition, he didn’t take this award. Connected with the famous terrorist leader who bombed the World Trade Center.
"Yu Wen is such an outstanding kid. It would be great if Pei Yin could be with him."
Qian Shouzhong became more energetic when he talked about this: "How... are... both of them... doing?"
Dong Xia rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are so confused. You have to give them some time. You think Pei Yin is just like those free-spirited women."
Qian Shouzhong said: "Then... you have to do more of Pei Yin's work. You speak... and she listens."
"I know, I know, I will do my best to help your student." Dong Xia glanced at the clock scale and felt that it was almost done. She walked over and disconnected the power supply of the massage sofa. This is good, but you can't overdo it, it will become addictive. , and may also cause symptoms of subcutaneous bleeding. The doctor said that massage can only play an auxiliary role, and the most effective treatment method requires the patient to exercise more.
"Pei Yin and Yuwen..."
Qian Shouzhong put his hands flat on his lower abdomen and looked up at the ceiling, his face full of relief.
Lin Yue made a scene at his birthday party. At that time, he knew that Jiang Yuwen was thinking about Pei Yin, so he felt a little embarrassed. However, after lying in the hospital with the hanging bottle all day long, he looked away and thought that this combination was good. , to a certain extent, Pei Yin is still a member of the Qian family, and Jiang Yuwen will not treat Qian Sanyi badly. In the future, he can help his grandson in the field of science and not become a businessman like his father. It can be said that everyone is happy, so since After Jiang Yuwen came back, he and Dong Xia had been supporting their favorite protégé in his pursuit of his ex-daughter-in-law.
Ding dong, ding dong...
Then the doorbell rang.
The nanny who was busy in the kitchen came out, went to the door and looked at the people on the monitor, then turned around and said, "It's your son, and...his wife."
Dong Xia thought to herself that this person really couldn't help but think about it, and then she thought about it again.
Why did Qian Yukun come here and bring An Lili with him?
She glanced at Qian Shouzhong and found that the old man's face was elongated. This was normal, because Qian Shouzhong disliked An Lili very much. He didn't like her no matter what. He always thought that she was destroying Qian Yukun and Pei Yin's family. If she hadn't been pregnant with the Qian family's child, it would have been impossible for her to admit her daughter-in-law.
"Let them in."
If An Lili had come by herself, she could have pretended not to be at home and left her alone for a while before going back. Now that her son came with her and her daughter-in-law had a big belly, her parents-in-law were not allowed in. The neighbors saw It'll be a joke.
The nanny nodded and opened the door.
Qian Yukun walked in from the outside with a smile on his face. He first said hello to the nanny Sister Liu, then called Qian Shouzhong dad and Dong Xia mom.
She felt that something was wrong with the situation. In the past, her son never came home empty-handed, either carrying expensive fruits, special foods that could not be bought in ordinary stores, or gifts brought back from abroad. Today's smile was a little forced. Unlike before, Hahaha couldn't stop having fun, so the old man said he was a smiling tiger with the word "business" written all over his face.
"Sister Liu, please go back first. I'll have someone deliver food to your house tonight."
The first thing Qian Yukun did when he entered the house was to send away the nanny.
Sister Liu knew that something must be wrong with him. She looked at Dong Xia, wiped the water foam on the back of her palms on her apron, and took off her apron while walking to the kitchen: "I'll leave first, call if you need anything."
Qian Shouzhong snorted coldly and turned away.
As long as An Lili's problems were involved, he neither wanted to hear nor talk about them.
Dong Xia watched the nanny leave, looked at her son and whispered, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"I want to borrow money from you and Dad."
"Borrow money?"
Dong Xia was stunned. I remember it was in the late 1990s. When Qian Yukun started his business, he didn't even borrow money from them. He still made his first pot of gold by mortgaging his house and contracting out projects, because the old man was particularly disgusted with it at the time. , after all, leaving the design institute to go into business or something like that is contrary to the old man’s teachings.
At that time, Qian Yukun was young and energetic and didn't say anything to them, which made Pei Yin come back all day long to complain, saying that he didn't care about his family, didn't care about his son's affairs, had various social activities every day, and came back drunk to mope around. He went to bed, so his father, who had the dream of rejuvenating the country through science and technology, was even more unwelcome. He scolded him every day for being ignorant and incompetent, and he was obsessed with money.
"How much to borrow?"
Qian Yukun said: "Borrow as much as you have."
Upon hearing this, Dong Xia knew that the problem was serious. As a real estate owner, he asked his parents to borrow money, and it was definitely not a decimal. And "borrow as much as you can" meant that even if they took out their savings, they might not be able to fill all the money he needed. Facing a financial hole.
"Yukun, tell me honestly, what happened?"
"This...Mom...you don't understand the business matters...just tell me how much money your family can afford." Qian Yukun hesitated and refused to speak clearly.
"snort!"
Qian Shouzhong's inability to use his hands and feet and his leaky words does not mean that his mind is unclear.
"You want us to help you... and you still... keep it secret... and refuse to tell the truth? No help."
"Old man!"
Dong Xia glared at him. After all, this was the first time Qian Yukun had asked them for help since they got married.
An Lili said: "If he doesn't tell, I will."
"Lili!" Qian Yukun glared at her.
"Yu Kunzhen transferred half of his assets to Pei Yin and Qian Sanyi after the divorce. Now he is encountering difficulties in the project. The China South City project has been delayed in acceptance. Many owners are clamoring for refunds, and there is also a large amount of money in the bank. We agreed to repay the loan and then loan it out, but the other party broke the contract and refused to give us the loan. When the material suppliers heard that the company's capital chain was tight, they also started to come to collect debts, and two of them even filed an application for bankruptcy liquidation with the court."
"shut up!"
Qian Shouzhong slapped the armrest of the massage sofa and shouted.
He was recovering from his stroke. He couldn't speak clearly, his hands shook when he was moved, his face turned red, and he looked as if he was about to die.
Dong Xia hurried over to give him some luck.
Speaking of which, this old man hates An Lili very much. In his opinion, what a perfect family Qian Yukun, Pei Yin, and Qian Sanyi were, but they were ruined by this woman. As for his decision with Old Man Pei, Is your marriage...wrong? That's right.
They are family friends. Qian Yukun and Pei Yin know each other well. They are a soprano in the same orchestra and a top student who graduated from Fudan University. Their children are also very good. These all prove the correctness of marriage by marriage.
Now An Lili is challenging Pei Yin in front of them. It seems that Qian Yukun's company has fallen into a debt vortex because mother and son are greedy for money. Can Qian Shouzhong listen?
"Lili, just say a few words less."
Qian Yukun quickly pulled her behind him.
"Why can't I speak? Isn't that the truth? You couldn't open your mouth to her, so you went home and asked your parents to borrow money."
She's quite reasonable.
Dong Xia patted the old man's hand to express comfort, and walked up to the two of them: "How much difference?"
Qian Yukun was a little embarrassed. After all, he had never asked his parents for money since they got married.
An Lili poked him in the lower back, and then he stretched out his hand and gestured with a slap.
"five million?"
Five million is not much for a family like Qian Shouzhong, and the cash may not be enough. It should be about the same if you take out some of the interest lost on the time deposit.
Qian Yukun shook his head: "Five thousand..."
"Fifty million?"
Dong Xia's face suddenly became very ugly.
Fifty million. An academician like Qian Shouzhong who does not do business does not have much income on weekdays. Just pensions and various subsidies, plus manuscript fees and consultant money, Fifty million is absolutely unavailable. ,unless……
"How can my family have so much money?"
"..."
Qian Yukun didn't know what to say.
An Lili interjected from behind: "If there are still those calligraphy, paintings, antiques, etc., this house can be worth ten to twenty million if it is mortgaged to the bank."
This is true. The Qian family is considered a well-known family in Jiangzhou. Their ancestors were all engaged in learning. They have accumulated a lot of good things over the years. In addition to the real estate under the old man's name, if they throw it all away, don't worry. If we say 50 million, there are also 80 million.
but……
"No!" Qian Shouzhong said angrily: "No... I won't borrow it."
What does he hate most about Qian Yukun?
Money is money every day, and he recognizes it. Now he is married to a woman who is the same as him. According to his thoughts, let alone 50 million, he will not borrow 5 million. Don't you love money? Don’t you regard making money as your life goal? If the company collapses, fine, you will become a pauper. Let’s see how you can still focus on making money.
"Old man..." Dong Xia didn't want him to do so brilliantly.
Qian Yukun begged: "Dad, I'm really in trouble this time..."
"You...you encountered difficulties...what do you care about our business...you...were on good terms with her at that time...didn't you ask me...for my opinion?" The more Qian Shouzhong looked at An Lili, the more disgusted he became: "Get out of here. ...Get out...take her with you...get out quickly!"
"You... bully others!"
An Lili was furious: "This is your dad, does he look like an elder?"
After saying these words, she left without looking back.
"Dad!" Qian Yukun said with embarrassment and disappointment: "If you don't lend money, you won't lend money. Why are you talking like this? Lili is also your daughter-in-law, and she is still pregnant with your grandson."
"I... don't have such a... daughter-in-law. I only have one grandson... Trinity... Trinity!"
The old man was very excited and gasped.
"Yukun, please leave quickly." Dong Xia chased him from the side. You must know that the old man is the authority in the workplace and the head of the family at home. He is used to giving orders. He can't stand An Lili. He can't do anything no matter what others say. , what's more, the father doesn't want to see this son who is obsessed with money.
Qian Yukun could only sigh and followed An Lili away.
Dong Xia watched Qian Yukun chase An Lili away and walked to Qian Shouzhong.
"Can't you talk properly? Yukun is still your son no matter what."
"I don't... don't have such a son!"
Facing this 70-year-old stubborn old guy, she had no choice but to say a few words of comfort and wait for him to subside and go to the kitchen to cook when the doorbell rang.
She thought it was Qian Yukun who was back, so when she walked to the door and took a look, she found that it wasn't the case.
"He...why did he come back!"
The old guy also thought that his useless son had gone and returned.
"It's not Yukun, it's... Yuwen's parents."
Jiang Yuwen’s parents? Jiang Huairen and Tian Qing?
Qian Shouzhong suddenly changed his smile and said, "Please invite them in quickly."
Dong Xia opened the door.
A middle-aged man in his sixties, with a stereotypical crew cut and hair that was almost half white, walked into the room with a woman in a purple coat.
Just as Qian Shouzhong was about to say hello to them, he found that there were two people following them. One was a four-eyed guy in a suit and leather shoes with a briefcase under his arm. He was dressed very elegantly, but his face was sinister, and he seemed to have some evil intentions.
In fact, the man in the suit is not important. What is important is the young man with a red-billed green-feathered parrot standing on his left shoulder.
Lin Yue!
That's right, it was the little bastard who sent him to the hospital because of his anger.
While Qian Shouzhong was excited, he still had another question that he couldn't figure out: how could Jiang Yuwen's parents get together with that kid and even come to the house together.
Dong Xia also realized that something was wrong, frowned and said, "Why is it you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Lin Yue said with a playful look on his face: "I heard that Academician Qian has been discharged from the hospital. I came to see him."
Dong Xia was about to say, "No need, you are not welcome in our home."
At this time, the mean-mouthed parrot raised its wings: "Ah, the weasel wishes the chicken New Year's greetings, ah, the weasel wishes the chicken New Year's greetings..."
Lin Yue stretched out his finger and flicked its beak: "You are the only one who talks a lot."
Qian Shouzhong pointed at Jiang Yuwen's parents, and then at Lin Yue. He was so excited that he couldn't speak: "Why... why..."
But everyone knew what he wanted to express.
Why did they bring this bastard to Qian's house.
Jiang Huairen and Tian Qing looked at each other, wondering who should explain.
At this moment, Lin Yue, who was always accustomed to taking over the guests, took a step forward and said with a smile: "Qian Shouzhong, don't you find it strange? The proud disciple promised to fly back to China the day before yesterday. What happened to make him change his mind? , even the important plan of going to Pei Yin to claim credit as soon as possible was cancelled?"
After saying this, both Qian Shouzhong and Dong Xia looked unhappy, because based on the relationship between the two parties, what he reported was definitely not happiness, but worry.
Seeing that this had whetted the appetite of the two of them, Lin Yue smiled and said: "Actually, Jiang Yuwen doesn't have important matters to deal with. He is restricted from leaving the country. Ace Technology, where he previously worked, is launching a lawsuit against him regarding intellectual property infringement and theft. Litigation over technological achievements will not come back anytime soon.”
