Reborn: Billionaire in College
Chapter 671 Extra 3: Complex Family Relationships
It was already 7 o’clock in the evening when I returned from the nursing home.
After living a carefree life in his hometown for a few years, Cong Junyou finally moved to a nursing home in Dongjiang.
In his words, when people get old, they no longer have the witty ideas, so they just want to find a crowded place to kill time and feel the human touch.
A nursing home is a good choice, especially this most high-end nursing home in Dongjiang.
The monthly expenses of 50,000 are not given for nothing.
The accommodation and dining conditions are no less than those of a five-star hotel, and the special care makes the old guy live a happy life.
Cong Nini had thought about bringing Cong Junyou back to live with her, but the latter refused to do so.
He was afraid of seeing Chen Pingjiang.
He knew that although Chen Pingjiang didn’t say it, he actually didn’t like him that much, especially because of what happened that year.
It’s good like this now. We both know each other but we don’t see each other.
When he got old, Cong Junyou just hoped that his daughter and grandchildren would visit him occasionally in the nursing home, and that would be enough for him in this life.
Looking back on his past, Cong Junyou felt that his life had not been lived in vain, as he had experienced both the glamour and suffering of the world.
When he was young, he was successful in his career and full of vigor and vitality. In middle age, he went bankrupt and felt the fickleness of human nature. He did not expect that at the age of knowing the destiny, he could have an intersection with a legendary figure of the time, and even make him become his cheap son-in-law and enjoy his old age.
That’s enough, that’s enough!
On the way home, Cong Nini was obviously in a bad mood, and Chen Jiayi could see it too.
“When you are free, please take more time to visit your grandpa. The doctor at the nursing home said that his condition is very bad. He has three highs, diabetes, and some cardiovascular problems. He doesn’t have many years left to live.”
Chen Jiayi rarely saw such a gloomy expression on her optimistic mother’s face, so she nodded immediately: “I know, Mom.”
Cong Nini added: “Your grandpa is a negative example. When he was young, he ate, drank and had fun without restraint. When he got old, he had a lot of chronic diseases. You should be like your dad, exercise more, drink less, and don’t stay up late.”
After hearing this, Chen Jiayi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
My biological mother was obviously like this before, okay?
It was in recent years that I got to spend more time with Aunt Ge, and was inspired and impressed by her knowledge of health preservation. I started to pay more attention to a healthy lifestyle.
Of course there is another reason, which Chen Jiayi knows in his heart but cannot say.
A woman!
I always hope that I can last longer, take better care of myself, and keep a man’s heart.
Compared with men and women under normal conditions, men neglect body management and skin care, and their flowering period is generally short, while women’s is very long.
But for top families like theirs, the situation is the other way around.
Men take longer to maintain their beauty than women.
For example, his biological father, anyone looking at him would think he is only in his early thirties.
Back to the large flat in the center of Dongjiang City, Chen Jiayi has been living here for the past few years. During this period, he also tried to live in the surrounding villa areas, but he chose to return here because he was not used to it.
Although the villa is nice, it always seems deserted when it only houses the mother and son.
“Father” is a word that is both unfamiliar and familiar to Chen Jiayi. He has not played much role in his twenty years of life.
When he was a child, he always asked his mother where his father was and why he never came home.
Later, as I grew up, I learned that my father was a big boss and had a lot of money, but I had no idea how much money he had.
Later, when his mother and aunts gathered together and he got along with his sisters and brothers, he began to vaguely understand his own life experience.
I was depressed, frightened, and even resentful during the turmoil of adolescence.
But things have gotten much better in the past two years. Although his biological father didn’t participate much in his growth, he provided a lot of material conditions. If it weren’t for his biological father, he would just be an ordinary person. How could he have the conditions to go to a top university like Huaxia University?
Moreover, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Chen Jiayi to get along with the old man, because the old man has too many halos on his head. People can always be heard talking about him in magazines, on the Internet, and in real life.
When your classmates around you are jokingly calling you “Dad Chen”, you can imagine the pressure you feel.
He knew that he was not that good, so when facing the old man, the pressure was even greater.
This is actually a disguised form of escape.
“Mom, I’m going out to meet some friends and will be back later.” After taking a shower, Chen Jiayi spent a long time in front of the mirror before he nodded with satisfaction and shouted to the outside.
Cong Nini, who was doing yoga, didn’t even raise her head. “What friends? It was your Uncle Zhao and Uncle Dai Fei who asked you to come sit down with them, right?”
“hey-hey!”
“go Go!”
Cong Nini’s parenting experience has always been like this. She didn’t expect Chen Jiayi to become a successful person, as long as he was happy. Although she couldn’t expect him to have great abilities, it would be good if he could have a good relationship with Zhao Shaoyang and Dai Fei. At least his future would be smoother.
“Where are the car keys?”
“On the tea table, drink less.”
As for drunk driving, Cong Nini is not worried. Nowadays, autonomous driving has been advanced to the L4 level. Even if the main driver is drunk, the vehicle will drive automatically without human control. And in the event of a car accident, the company where the vehicle is located will pay the loss in full.
Moreover, Jiuzhou Auto’s L4 autonomous driving technology has been tested.
Chen Jiayi picked up the car keys on the coffee table and went out.
It is called a car key, but in fact it is just an ID card. Only with this card can you have driving authority.
She was wearing all branded clothes, sunglasses, and non-pierced earrings.
Chen Jiayi now looks like a fashionable guy, which is very different from the student uniform he wore in school, with a white T-shirt and jeans.
In school, he tried hard to act like a student, being so low-key that he almost lost himself in the world. Now he dares to be his true self.
In the elevator, Chen Jiayi shone the light into the reflective cabin again before whistling in satisfaction.
After getting to the private parking space, I took a step directly and got into the Jiuzhou V1.
After the motor started, the smart assistant in the car said in an electronically synthesized voice: “Driving authority has been detected, but the driver has not been entered into the vehicle database. Please take the automatic driving assistance course training first.”
Although he has an ID card and can enter the car, he can also drive manually.
However, the in-car camera of Jiuzhou V1 will record every face, and will not grant autonomous driving permission unless the face is an “acquaintance”.
Chen Jiayi had to follow the steps and take the course training in the car system. After the training, there was a short test. Only after passing the test could the automatic driving function be activated.
Fortunately, the questions are not difficult and not complicated.
Behind every seemingly unnecessary “obstacle” there must be a lesson learned from blood and tears. Chen Jiayi feels that this measure is still necessary.
“The destination Tiangong Bar has been loaded, and the route planning is in progress. The route planning has been completed, and the automatic driving has started…”
With a series of synthesized sounds, Jiuzhou V1 finally started up, and Chen Jiayi started playing with his mobile phone out of boredom.
If he wants, he can also exit the automatic driving mode at any time and take over manually to find the fun of driving and show off. (End of this chapter)
