Chapter 1024: Preparing to Go Home

"I was just sighing. Things keep happening, one after another. No big disasters, but endless small troubles. It’s just annoying," the Big Boss said with a helpless smile. "How is Old Chun doing now?"

The topic had shifted, so naturally, they moved on. Old Yun didn’t dwell on the past. "Ani visits Old Chun every week. She checks her pulse and adjusts her medicine. Although Old Chun acts and speaks like someone with severe dementia, her complexion has improved significantly. Now, we just hope the girl’s project succeeds soon. If she can truly replenish the missing one-tenth of the brain marrow, it would be a miracle for humanity."

The Big Boss nodded. "Notify all departments to cooperate with this girl as much as possible." she added, "Shouldn’t this girl be taking her final exams soon?"

"Yes, she’s taking them these days. After the exams, she’ll rest for two days, then plan to go home for the New Year with her older sister and younger brother," Old Yun said with a smile. "Actually, given the tense situation, she couldn’t have gone. But since Young Yan made her move, she can go home for the New Year."

The Big Boss chuckled lightly. "I feel like Young Yan acted so impulsively just to let this girl go home for the New Year."

"Young Yan isn’t the type to act rashly for a woman. Besides, the girl is young. He wouldn’t be that sentimental," Old Yun said slowly, though his tone lacked certainty.

Zhu Yanyi successfully finished her three-day final exams and returned to the residential compound.

Yan Aohan saw Zhu Yanyi and smiled. "Rest today. Tomorrow we go back to the Courtyard. Your sister comes back tomorrow afternoon, and Doumiao comes the day after."

"Why is my sister’s holiday so late? University holidays should start earlier than high school," Zhu Yanyi said. She had been too busy recently to pay attention to other news.

"Your sister just finished a performance in China. Her master, Mr. Ye Hongguang, introduced her to it. She has another show tomorrow afternoon. She can only come home after that," Yan Aohan explained clearly.

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow slightly. "I didn’t expect my sister to be performing. It seems her half-year at university wasn’t wasted."

"That’s why the three Zhu siblings give people an incredible feeling," Yan Aohan said with a smile. "I’ll have someone buy train tickets for you. I won’t accompany you home for the New Year this year. I need to keep an eye on things here. If there’s any new news from Old Yao, I’ll send it to you via the watch."

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Aohan. "You speak as if you used to accompany me for the New Year in previous years."

Yan Aohan looked serious. "Our relationship wasn’t established in previous years. It’s hard to make progress this year. If not for those inexplicable events, I really should have gone with you."

"No, no, no. I don’t want to be chased by my dad," Zhu Yanyi said, looking politely declined.

The next afternoon, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan returned to the Courtyard early in the morning. After tidying up slightly, Zhu Yanyi carried her erhu to the Courtyard in the evening. The next morning, Zhu Zhibin arrived with his schoolbag.

The three siblings were finally reunited. They bought many local specialties. A day later, they boarded the train home.

The train departed at 10:30 AM. Yan Aohan hired a minibus to send them off, as Zhu Yanyi and her siblings had bodyguards with them.
