Chapter 563 What is your purpose?
Xu Fengzhen smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your help before I come back, Jia Hong."
"It's no trouble at all! When you come back, I'll cook a delicious meal so our family can have a proper reunion dinner."
"Okay, we've settled."
"Yes, it's settled then!"
After finishing her call with Li Jiahong, Xu Fengzhen smiled, put down her phone, and ended the call.
As the call ended, the smile faded from her face, leaving her with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.
Okay, all is well.
There's only one person like that.
Xu Fengzhen looked at the closed ward door, her eyes filled with deep worry.
……
The smile on Zhou Yi's face disappeared as soon as she left the ward.
She picked up her phone, read the message Zhou Jianye had sent, walked forward, then entered the elevator and went downstairs.
Go to the main east gate.
The main entrance to the east gate is the main entrance to the outpatient department of Jinlan Hospital.
Jinlan Hospital is very large, with several main entrances.
The entrance to the inpatient ward, especially the building where Xu Fengzhen stayed, was completely different.
It's only for people in this inpatient building to pass through; people from outside can't get in.
Furthermore, a gate was set up outside the building to prevent malicious people from prying into the premises and to protect the privacy of the inpatients.
Zhou Yi took her phone and headed towards the main east gate.
A short while later, she walked out of the outpatient clinic and saw the person standing outside the hospital gate.
Under the sunlight, Zhou Jianye wore a tailor-made suit, his tall and imposing figure exuding the calm and experienced aura of a CEO.
He stood outside the car, watching Zhou Yi walk out of the outpatient building, his sharp eyes, honed by the business world, narrowed.
Zhou Yi looked at Zhou Jianye and gripped her phone tightly.
This is her biological father, the father she once longed for and yearned to receive, but now, to her, this father is as dangerous as a jackal or a tiger.
This person is not a good person.
It wasn't her father.
In Zhou Yi's eyes, good people and bad people are easy to distinguish; those who do bad things are bad people, and those who do good things are good people.
Zhou Jianye, who made a scene while his mother was seriously ill, is an absolute bad person.
Even as autumn approaches, the sun still shines fiercely, capable of scorching people.
From a distance, the father and daughter looked at each other, but there was no fatherly affection for his daughter, nor daughterly dependence on her father.
There was only endless coldness and indifference.
Zhou Yi stood before Zhou Jianye, looking at him without a trace of emotion: "I won't let you see Grandma."
Looking at that small, delicate face, with its clear eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips, and white teeth, Zhou Jianye felt the sunlight casting a shimmering glow on her face, making it appear almost ethereal.
At that moment, his eyes changed.
"You look a lot like your mother."
Zhou Yi pursed her lips tightly and gripped her phone.
She has a picture of her mother. When she was very young, her grandmother would show her a picture of her mother and tell her that it was her mother and what her mother's name was.
She clearly remembers what her mother looks like. She looks like her mother, and relatives always say she looks like her mother whenever they see her.
As she grew older, she often looked at her mother's photo in the mirror and realized that she really looked like her mother.
She was happy because she felt like her mother and could pretend that her mother was by her side.
Her mother was with her.
Even so, she still missed her mother very much and wanted her mother to be by her side.
I've thought about it countless times, frantically, and even dreamed about my mother countless times.
But the truth is, her mother could never be by her side throughout her life.
She knew it perfectly well.
At this moment, Zhou Yi looked at the person in front of her who had hurt her mother and was now ruthlessly hurting her grandmother, and said in an icy voice: "It's none of your business."
Zhou Jianye remained silent.
The face before me, that illusory phantom, vanished with that cold voice, and everything returned to reality.
This face is full of hostility.
She hates him.
“You are my daughter, and everything about you is related to me.”
Zhou Yi smiled for a moment.
I didn't mean to laugh, but it just happened in an instant; I couldn't control myself and I just laughed.
But her smile in the sunlight had no warmth whatsoever.
"What do you want to do?"
She looked at him with mockery in her eyes.
If he hadn't made such a scene with Sun Huilan outside her grandmother's hospital room in Yu'an County, she would have held onto hope; she had a father.
Although this father never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, she was not the wild child those people described.
He is her father.
But from that day on, it wasn't like that anymore.
He is not Zhou Yi's father, and never will be.
Looking at the coldness in Zhou Yi's eyes, Zhou Jianye's pupils contracted slightly: "Zhou Yi, I've left you at your grandma's house for so many years. You've grown up, and now it's time for me to take you home."
Zhou Yi's brow furrowed instantly.
Family?
What is home?
A home is a place where love is present.
Does he love her, his daughter?
He doesn't love her.
His home, Zhou Jianye's home, is not Zhou Yi's home. Zhou Yi's home is in Shancheng, Yu'an County, Guzhen Town, in that small house.
That was her home.
“There are many things you don’t know, but thankfully you’ve grown up. Your younger siblings are also grown up now, and your father has established a business in Yunzhou City. You can come home now.”
Zhou Yi lowered her head, the corners of her lips turned up, and she smiled.
He looked very happy.
It seemed she had a home now, and the love of her parents. She was very happy, extremely happy.
But when she raised her head and looked at this emotionless man, the smile on her face gradually faded: "Tell me, what is your purpose?"
“I’m twenty-two years old, not a little kid. I know a lot of things. You don’t need to be so tactful. Your time is precious and can’t be wasted.”
"It's better to just say it directly."
"..."
Zhou Jianye's voice was silent.
He looked at the person in front of him with a very sharp gaze.
It's like dealing with disobedient and ignorant subordinates; they're very strict.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yi was not his subordinate, so he could not fire him.
He could only endure it.
“Yiyi, your grandma was hospitalized this time. Where did you, a girl, get the money and connections? Dad doesn’t know how you managed to do all this, but Dad wants to tell you that this is not something you, a girl, should bear. It is Dad’s responsibility, and it is Dad’s responsibility.”
"Ha ha……"
Zhou Yi burst out laughing, turning her head to look to the side, her face beaming with joy.
Looking at her smile, Zhou Jianye's eyes grew fiercer, but his voice was unusually calm: "Dad will take you home, and Dad will take care of everything from now on. Whatever you have given before, Dad will give. Whatever you owe others, Dad will repay."
"You shouldn't have to bear this; it's all Dad's fault."
Zhou Yi laughed louder, laughing heartily.
Even covering their mouths couldn't stop them from controlling themselves.
Looking at Zhou Yi's appearance, Zhou Jianye narrowed his eyes, his fierceness as sharp as a blade in the sunlight.
If he didn't have something he wanted, how could he have been so patient?
Zhou Yi laughed for a long time, until tears came out of her eyes.
She lowered her head, wiped away the tears in her eyes, and looked at Zhou Jianye with a warm smile. She said politely, "Mr. Zhou, I understand what you mean. You are going to take care of me and my grandmother."
