Xia Jinzhi said the excuse she had thought of beforehand unhurriedly,” Director, I’m really sorry. My husband has been filming outside all year round, so we’ve been separated from each other more often than not. My son will only return from studying in the United States in half a year, and my daughter has passed away for many years. In the past few years, my husband’s health has been getting worse and worse, while I stay at home alone every day. I’m depressed and can’t take care of him…Therefore, I hope that the director can understand my difficulties and agree to my retirement application.”
“Sigh.” The dean took off his glasses.” I understand your situation very well, but you also know that our school will be applying for the postgraduate department early next year, and the number of high-quality senior professors is especially important. Professor Xia, you’re the most outstanding one among this batch of senior professors. If you mention retirement now, won’t it affect our application?”
Xia Jinzhi frowned.” I’m sorry, Director. I don’t need any pension, but I must retire. Please understand.””
With that, she turned around and left, ignoring the dean’s shouts behind her.
After leaving the university, Xia Jinzhi called Xia Chenglin.” Hello, Brother. I’ll be arriving in D City this afternoon. Well, this time, I might have to stay a little longer.”
After hanging up the phone, she took a taxi back to the Wu family’s villa.
Wu Wanqian accepted an invitation to an event and flew away early in the morning. The entire house was empty, and only the servants were cleaning the room.
Xia Jinzhi returned to her room and packed her luggage. Finally, she put the red envelope into the document bag and left with her suitcase.
When the plane arrived at the city, Xia Chenglin personally drove to pick her up at 3 pm in the afternoon.
“Jinzhi, is there something urgent that you need to do to return this time?”Xia Chenglin asked her in the car.
“Brother.” Xia Jinzhi closed her eyes tiredly.” I’ll go back and rest for a while. I’ll tell you everything.””
“Yes.” Xia Chenglin turned up the air-conditioning in the car by two degrees and watched Xia Jinzhi fall into a deep sleep.
City D, Xia Residence.
Ever since Xia Chenglin moved back, Xia Xiaoli and Helian Chen had moved out to spend some alone time together after they got married. Only Xia Chenglin and his wife lived in this house.
There was only one servant in this house. Due to Li Yu’s physical condition, the only car was rarely driven, so there was no chauffeur.
Xia Chenglin woke Xia Jinzhi up after parking the car.
The maid helped carry the luggage into the guest room, while Xia Jinzhi followed Xia Chenglin to the bedroom on the second floor to see Li Yu.
Just as she pushed open the bedroom door, Xia Jinzhi looked at Li Yu, who was sitting on a recliner in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Suddenly, she saw Li Yu turn her head to look at her. Her gentle voice called out gently,” Jinzhi.””
Xia Jinzhi was stunned. After a long while, she said,” Sister-in-law, you know me?”
Li Yu nodded, and a peaceful smile appeared on her white face.” My health hasn’t been good all these years. Jinzhi, you won’t blame me, right?”” “Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?”Xia Jinzhi walked over and gently bent down to hug Li Yu.” Sister-in-law, it’s good that you’re awake now. Big Brother must be very happy too, right?”
Xia Chenglin walked over as well. Under his thick eyebrows, his deep black eyes flashed with a smile.” Your sister-in-law has only started to get better recently. Now that you’re back, if you have nothing to do in the future, you should spend more time with her.””
“Alright.” Xia Jinzhi nodded..
