Chapter 362: A Quarter of the Blood

if they forced the children to change their surname now, Shu Tinglan would definitely disagree. So, if they got married, there wouldn't be anything to say, right The children taking the surname Zhuo...Zuo Yu'an made it clear that he didn't want to talk to her anymore and told her to find the finance department. The finance department wouldn't dare make any payments without his orders. Cheng Zhimin went to Zuo Hong for help, but Zuo Hong also gave her a cold shoulder.

“Wasn't this your own doing Why did you run to the city in the first place”

The moment she opened her mouth, instead of helping to solve the problem, she started blaming. Cheng Zimin had never received any kind treatment in her life, so she couldn't learn to treat others kindly. Just like when she went to the city, she didn't intend to harm Shu Tinglan, nor did she ever think about harming the two children. But as long as she opened her eyes to look at others, and as soon as she spoke, her eyes and tone became like knives.

The project manager and Principal Xue called her every day to check on the progress, which led to her having two nightmares in a row. Both dreams took place at WHU. She dreamed that Zhimin Library, named after her, had become a dilapidated ruin. The "Zhimin" sign on top swayed precariously in the wind and rain. As she passed beneath it, the "Zhimin" sign crumbled and fell at her feet, shattering into pieces of scrap iron. Students and faculty members from WHU walked past, watching the shattered "Zhimin" with uproarious laughter.

She was startled awake by the laughter and couldn't fall asleep anymore. That night, she booked a flight to Senzhou. The next morning, she didn't even tell the nanny and called a driver to take her to the airport.

Upon arriving at Senzhou, I headed straight for Zhuoyuan Technology.

As for her arrival, it was within Zhuo Yu'an's expectations. He glanced at his mother, his attitude neither cold nor hot.

“I'm going to a meeting. If you need anything, please find Secretary Cui.”

Just leave someone stranded in the office like that.

A meeting that lasted the whole afternoon left Cheng Zhimin ignored all day. Cheng Zhimin dared to be angry but not to speak, sitting in his office waiting in vain. This wasn't how a mother should be treated, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only endure it.

Fortunately, Sister Cui was capable and always came in to chat with her from time to time. She brought tea and water, and her attitude was neither servile nor arrogant. Cheng Zhimin had a very good impression of her. Since she worked in the US before, she was particularly satisfied with this secretary, so she chatted with her for a few more minutes.

"What time will Mr. Zhuo's meeting end"

"It depends on the situation. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, sometimes a whole day." Cui's secretary knew today's meeting wasn't important and would likely end in about half an hour as usual.

"Oh, does Ms. Shu usually come to the company" Cheng Zhimin thought that Shu Tinglan was now taking advantage of having two children with him, and wasn't she coming to the company every day to pester Zhuo Yu'an, showing off her status

"Miss Shu She has never been here before. Previously, Mr. Zhu wanted to arrange her into the company's legal department, but she refused."

What is she doing

Chen Zhim in's visit to Senzhou this time, she knew it was inevitable that she would have to apologize to Shu Tinglan. So she tried to learn more about the situation. Knowing yourself and your enemy a hundred battles will never be defeated, isn't it

Secretary Cui pondered for a moment: "I think President Zhu mentioned before that he was looking for a job and had been attending interviews recently." Secretary Cui thought Miss Shu was pretty good this way, being independent and self-reliant, which was rare.

But Cheng Zhimin was thinking something else. Look, this is just petty, it can't make it onto a big stage. Whether she divorces Zhuo Y uan or not, what their relationship is, at least she's the mother of two children, the Zhuo family could still wrong her Does she need to go out to work

Small-minded, unable to enjoy the good things in life.

Cheng Zhimin had also become clever. No matter how many twists and turns she had in her mind, she didn't show them now, nor dared she. The follow-up construction of the library still weighed on her like a mountain.

It was almost time to get off work when Zhuo YUAN came back.

Cheng Zhimin had waited so long, her patience had worn thin.

Zuo Yu'an glanced at her, but his expression remained normal.

"Have Secretary Cui accompany you for dinner, then return to the hotel. We'll discuss anything else tomorrow." He deliberately left her hanging.

“And what about you” She had waited for him so long, just wanting to have a proper talk about the library. But he didn't say a word about it, just sent her back to the hotel again.

"I'm going to get Lan and the children." He mentioned them openly, but he just wouldn't let her see them.

“I’ll go with you. Don’t you want me to apologize to them I flew here early today just to apologize.”

It was only then that Zhuo Yu'an looked at her seriously.

“Let’s go back to the hotel first. Figure out if you’re truly apologizing or just doing it out of pressure.” His voice and attitude were cold, treating her like a subordinate rather than a mother. The tone was exactly like how his father scolded his employees.

"My dear son, my own flesh and blood," Cheng Zhimin muttered to herself a few times before speaking.

“Of course it’s true. Otherwise, why would I travel so far to Morozhou I was truly careless back in the city. My own grandchildren, they have a quarter of my blood running through them! How could I not love them”

Bleeding out a quarter of my bloodly got back on track. Apart from her work, she enrolled in an in-service master's program, which was a joint venture between a renowned foreign architecture college and the domestic Senzhou University...
