Personal matters

When the plane descended, it passed through a thick layer of black clouds. The weather, which was still sunny just now, suddenly became shrouded in haze.For some reason, Lin Zhen's mood also became heavy.

After working in St. Denis Hospital for several years, Lin Zhen almost forgot about home.It wasn't until he received a notice from the government asking him to renew his work visa that he remembered that he had always been a foreigner.

His father called several times to urge him to go home, saying that hospital A was recruiting talents, and that the brain surgery department had a very suitable position for him.And the most important reason - mother had a stroke a few months ago.

Lin Zhen really missed her mother.

I have been traveling abroad for so many years, either studying or working, and I have not been able to go home during the Chinese New Year.I usually contact my mother on the phone, but I can't talk for a few weeks when I catch up with the shift.I always thought about when I would go home and honor her, but I didn't expect to get sick.

Although the mother was only paralyzed on one side, she was almost recovered after rehabilitation training, but Lin Zhenxin's guilt and self-blame were still lingering.

This time he made up his mind to go home.

When resigning from Professor Sinclair, the old gentleman took his hand regretfully to keep him, and finally he gave up when he heard the news of his mother's illness.In fact, it is also very difficult for Lin Zhen himself to let go. No one can let go of the friendship between teachers and students and the thriving career for so many years.

For the matter of returning to China, Roger and him had a cold war for a whole month, and in the end they simply moved out of the apartment where the two had lived together for many years.

Roger thinks that Lin Zhen doesn't value their relationship, but Lin Zhen doesn't think so.

In the past three years of dating, Roger has been dating people on and off. He knows exactly what kind of people, but deliberately pretends not to know.I always thought that time could change a person, but unexpectedly, it was Lin Zhen himself who changed in the end.

Dragging luggage out of the airport, it was foggy outside.Lin Zhen found out the address saved in the phone and took a taxi home.

Sitting in the taxi, Lin Zhen felt a little emotional.During the years when I was not in China, my family has moved several times, and the streets and buildings outside have become completely unrecognizable. It is really not easy to find the door of my house.

When he arrived at the place, the driver helped him unload the luggage. Lin Zhen habitually took out a few banknotes as a tip, but the driver refused with a smile, saying that it was the company's regulations.Lin Zhen let out a breath, this time he really realized that he had gone home.

He took the elevator to the 15th floor and found that there was only one apartment on each floor—it seemed that his father still liked to be clean...

He rang the doorbell, and a strange woman appeared behind the door, looking him up and down.Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment, and before she could speak, the woman shouted cheerfully, "Mr. Gu, your son is back!"

She opened the door, enthusiastically helped him bring his things into the room, and kept muttering, "Mr. Lin, come in quickly! Teacher Gu has been waiting for you all day."

Lin Zhen suddenly felt cramped as a guest, and was restrained by her.Fortunately, soon Gu Qing came out from the back room, shouting: "Is Xiao Zhen back?"

Although he just spoke on the phone last night, when Lin Zhen saw his mother, his eyes turned red immediately. He walked up and hugged her, and called out "Mom—", feeling his throat was congested, but what he said later I can't say any more.

Gu Qing pushed him away a little, but held his hand tightly, looking at his son's eyebrows with tears in his eyes.

After a while, the emotions of the two finally calmed down gradually.Lin Zhen helped his mother to sit on the sofa, and the two started a daily conversation between mother and child.

"Is the road going well? Are you tired?"

"Not tired, I already slept on the plane." Lin Zhen looked at his mother, "Mom, are you okay?"

"That's it." Lu Qing sighed, "I didn't feel it in the past two years... After falling ill this time, I really feel that it's not as good as it is every year."

Lin Zhen has been observing her mother's walking posture since she came in - generally speaking, it is normal, but if you look closely, you can still find that the left leg is a little dragging.

"Mom, I've seen your film, and the situation is not too bad, but you still need to persist in rehabilitation training." He took Gu Qing's hand, "And your diabetes must be well controlled, otherwise the risk of recurrence... ..."

"That's right, talk to your father." Lu Qing smiled helplessly, "You father and son, you will drive me to death one day."

Lin Zhen also laughed at what she said, and the previous dull mood was finally swept away.

"Is Dad still in the meeting?"

"I went to Guangzhou a few days ago, and I should be back today."

After the mother and son talked for a while, they heard the doorbell ring, and the nanny told them that it was Professor Lin who had returned.

Lin Changmin took off his coat and walked into the living room. He glanced up at his son, without much joy on his face, and just said lightly, "I'm back."

Lin Zhen stood up.

Over the years, not only has his awe of his father not diminished at all, but it has become thicker as time goes by.

"dad."

Lin Changmin nodded, "Come with me to the study."

"it is good."

Lin Zhen immediately followed obediently, while Gu Qing watched from behind and shook his head—working at home is the same as working in a hospital, at least we will wait for the whole family to have a reunion dinner first.

After entering the study, Lin Changmin came up and asked, "Have you finished your relationship with the United States?"

"Yes." Lin Zhen nodded, "St. Denis Hospital has accepted my letter of resignation."

Lin Changmin stared at him with a gloomy face.

"I'm asking you, are your 'relationships' over there?"

Lin Zhen didn't know what he meant, but he felt chills on his back, "Dad..."

"Don't think I don't know about your ridiculous things outside." Lin Changmin snorted, "Your aunt told me, your boyfriend!"

Lin Zhen was startled suddenly, and immediately became at a loss.He didn't expect his father to be so well-informed, and he knew everything about his life in the United States.

Actually, this incident was not a shock to Lin Changmin, because he knew about his son's special "hobby" a long time ago.

When he was in high school, Lin Zhen talked about a "object", a male student in the same class.Lin Zhen was fine, and under Lin Changmin's strong intervention, he reined in in time.But the boy on the other side was making a fuss, so in desperation, he had no choice but to help Lin Zhen transfer schools.

Over the years, Lin Zhen has been steadily studying and studying under his own nose, which once made Lin Changmin think that he had "reformed from evil and returned to righteousness", but he did not expect such a result in the end.

"I sent you to the United States to study, not to mess with you!" Lin Changmin's voice was faintly filled with suppressed anger.

"Dad, I..."

"You look like this, what kind of expert and scholar are you? What qualifications do you have for others to respect you in the future?"

Lin Zhen lowered his head.

At this time, he really couldn't speak, he just felt the blood in his chest was churning, and he was so oppressed that he was almost about to explode.

"what do you say?!"

Lin Zhen desperately suppressed his emotions, took a deep breath, and slowly raised his head. "He and I... have already broken up."

"Hmph!" Lin Changmin's expression was still ugly, "It's okay, don't learn, just learn some nonsense from foreigners."

Lin Zhen didn't dare to talk back, so he could only listen silently.

"I have already discussed with Dean Jiang. You are introduced as a senior talent of our institute, and there is no problem in hiring a senior professional title." Lin Changmin changed the subject, and then said, "I have done everything that should be done, I hope you can do it yourself !"

"Yes…"

"Also, don't think that you are great after drinking some foreign ink," Lin Changmin said, "There are people out there, and there is always someone stronger than you in this world."

"Yes."

Lin Changmin saw that his son had been submissive, and his tone subconsciously eased a little, "If you have time, please spend more time with your mother at home, she has not been easy these few years."

"Got it, Dad."

Lim Changmin sighed and finally gave up.

Next, he explained the situation of some hospitals to Lin Zhen sporadically. Lin Zhen listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time.The two father and son talked for a long time in the study, until Gu Qing greeted them for dinner outside.Lin Zhen agreed, stood up and prepared to go out to help.

"One more thing..." Lin Changmin suddenly stopped him.

Lin Zhen turned around.

"Actually, it's not in a hurry." Lin Changmin thought for a while and said, "However, it's better to remind you first."

"What's wrong dad?"

"Liu Qitong from the brain surgery department... this person, you have to be more careful in the future."
