The new security guard was skeptical, but Old Zhou was right; anyone daring to impersonate Zhou Yang’s grandparents would face dire consequences if exposed.
“Gentlemen, please wait a moment. I need to make a phone call to confirm.”
The guard quickly called the front desk, exined the situation, and was then transferred to Zhou Yang’s secretary. The final reply was that the elderly couple could enter thepany. The receptionist was instructed
to apany them to the top floor in the elevator and have them sit in the VIP room, as Zhou Yang was currently in a meeting.
Upon receiving the call, the guard immediately got up, left the security room, opened the small door, and invited the elderly couple in.
“Gentlemen, you see that building in the middle? That’s ourpany’s office building. Mr. Zhou’s office is on the top floor of that building. Just walk there; someone will greet you once you’re inside.”
“Okay, okay, thank you,”
Old Zhou thanked him repeatedly, then took Old Mrs. Zhou’s hand, and the couple slowly walked inside,
looking around at their surroundings.
Theyout of the Lu Group building remainedrgely unchanged, only slightly renovated. The small garden in front of the office building was meticulously maintained, with its flowers, trees, and shrubs. The musical fountain in the center of the garden would perform a short show every morning before work and every evening after work.
Company employees often enjoyed sitting or strolling in the garden during their breaks, or gathering in small groups to chat and relieve work stress.
Grandma Zhou remarked to Grandpa Zhou, “Yangyang’s workce is so beautiful, even better than our neighborhood.”
Grandpa Zhou replied, “The environment is indeed very good, not much different from back then.”
Liberty had worked here for a while before; when she first joined, Duncan had forced her to run fiveps around the small garden in front of the office building every day to lose weight.
Old Zhou seemed to havee by once or twice, but he hadn’t gone into thepany; he’d just nced at it from the outside and remembered the small garden.
“Back when Honglin and Liberty divorced, and Liberty wanted custody of Yangyang, I was so angry! Yangyang was our only grandson, and Liberty wanted to take him away. I didn’t agree.”
“But Liberty had a good brother-inw backing her up, so in the end, I had no choice but to let her take Yangyang.”
“Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing she took Yangyang. He’s the way he is today because of her. If Yangyang had stayed in our Zhou family, with Honglin as his father, he would have had to work hard to have a good future.”
Unlike now, where he can just inherit directly.
Old Zhou paused for a moment, then said, “We were truly reluctant to part with Yangyang at first, but the main reason we were willing to let go was because Honglin and that wicked woman said they could have more children.”
“Yangyang has always been raised by the Liberty sisters; they have a close rtionship. As his grandparents, we haven’t really cared for our only grandson. We’ve always helped Hongying take care of her children, giving all our love to our grandson.”
“If we really got custody of Yangyang, would Honglin care? He’s an irresponsible father; he just ys with the child in his spare time. He wouldn’t be able to take good care of a child.”
“Besides, Honglin and that wicked woman are getting married. He’s already not a responsible father; if he has a stepmother and another child, will Yangyang even survive? The best oue is for us two old folks to raise him.”
“Fortunately, Yangyang was given to Liberty to take with him. Liberty has raised him very well, and Lu Sishao, as his stepfather, has also been very good, treating Yangyang even better than his biological father, Honglin. We have noints about that.”
They thought their son would have a child soon after his divorce and remarriage. Ye Jianni was pregnant, but she miscarried.
Ye Jianni even conspired with gangsters to kidnap Yangyang, causing Liberty to be seriously injured in order to save Yangyang.
