"I slept for 25 years?"

When Gu Yuan heard these words, her eyelashes lightly blink. The black and white clear eyes looked lost. She's unable to comprehend Doctor Chen who was standing in front of her.

At the age of 18, she contracted a rarely seen terminal disease. Without any other choice, she cut short her studies to concentrate on her treatment. After going through 2 years of treatment, her lead doctor requested to perform the final surgery on her.

The success rate of this surgery was only 0.5% with only 2 final possibilities, fail or success. If she succeeded, she will be able to overcome this disease else she will die.

The awoken Gu Yuan thought her surgery was a success but unexpectedly heard this kind of news.

She tilted her head and looked at the young doctor standing in front of her.

The doctor's surname was Chen, 50 years old. He said he was the disciple of Dr.Luo.

Dr. Luo was only 28 years old yet he already had a 50 years old disciple that place under him?

She felt like she just had a short sleep but 25 years had already passed. The world had changed so much that it was difficult for anyone to accept.

"Yes." Although Dr. Chen sounds calm and collected due to his professionalism, his tightly held clenched fist betrayed his excitement.

A patient who was frozen for 25 years due to a failed surgery survived.

What were these? The miracle of life? A historical moment in medical history? Dr. Chen thought himself as witnessing a moment that was sufficient to be recorded into the annals of history. His clenched fist trembled.

"Can you bring me a mirror?" After contemplating for a period, Gu Yuan finally raised a request.

"Mirror?" Dr. Chen quickly responded and asked a nurse to bring a mirror over.

Gu Yuan looked into the mirror for more than half a day. She even opened and closed her mouth, blinked her eyes then moved her head left and right to confirm that the person inside the mirror is really her.

A face with a slight of baby fat, milky white skin, soft and tender at first glance, no signs of skin sagging, eyes are clear and water with no trace of crow's feet at the corner of the eyes.

(TN: The crow's feet here refer to wrinkle)

She was the little beauty that had been praised by everyone since young. At 17, she was admitted into the film school. Unfortunately, her studies were interrupted by her terminal disease right after only a year of schooling.

After accepting the news that made her dazed and hard to digest. Gu Yuan felt so much better after seeing that she still looked as youthful as the last time she saw herself.

"So...Dr. Chen was born in 19xx?"

"Yes." Dr. Chen, of course, understands that to wake up after 25 years had passed was a difficult thing for anyone to accept. So he carefully tried to help her establish the concept of time. "I was born in the year 19xx. The year you had your last operation, I was 25 years old, 5 years older than you. At that time, I was still a medical student."

"I understand."

Gu Yuan mumbled softly, her heart still had some indescribable feeling.

Someone who was older than her by 5 years and can be considered as her peer is now 50 years old and can fit to be her father. Then, what was she? Time traveller? Rebirth? Forever young?

Dr. Chen felt relieved after he saw Gu Yuan so fast accepted this fact. Immediately afterwards, he told Gu Yuan some of the details of the surgery she had in that year and the precautions she needs to follow.

It turned out that Dr. Luo was the one that helped her to perform that life and death surgery. After the surgery progress tilled 75%, he found abnormal conditions that will lead to the surgery into failure. Dr. Luo then immediately made a decision to carry out the previously arranged alternative plans. The plan was to put her body into a deep-freeze state. To freeze all her cells in a healthy state. This type of freezing was different from the normal freezing as this can still keep her body cells alive.

As long as there's a day when Dr. Luo manages to overcome the abnormal conditions, he can still perform another surgery on Gu Yuan.

The medical advanced rapidly in the 25 years. Dr. Luo also managed to perform several treatments on the frozen Gu Yuan and finally helped her to overcome her disease. Her body is now completely healthy.

"Actually 13 years ago, you had already recovered. However, we don't know what happened as your body cell continued to sleep even after we took you out from your deep-freeze state. We were unable to do any other things except to help your body to carry out its basic functions. We never thought you would suddenly wake up after so many years."

Over the years, the world has changed a lot. The former Dr. Luo who treated her 25 years ago, is now a renowned leading expert in his medical field.

Gu Yuan listened to Dr. Chen's stories on various popular science findings and accepted the counsel by the psychologist that was found by Dr. Chen. She then slowly accepted this reality.

"I....Can I leave this place now?" Gu Yuan also accepted a full body examination and everything seems to be good. Her body is now very healthy.

Looking out of the window, the sky was high cloudless. She wanted to go out.

She's been inside this institute since she was 18 years old and she had been isolated from the outside world for far too long.

"Of course you can." Dr. Chen hurriedly said: "But do you want to wait for Professor Luo? Professor Luo was currently holding a very important seminar overseas. Therefore he was unable to be here right now but he'll be back in a few days. After he knew you woke up, he's very excited and he also wished to see you."

When Dr. Chen mentioned this, he seemed to hesitate a bit and looked at her strangely.

Gu Yuan did not notice his strangeness and continued to immersed in her own thinking.

In her memory, Professor Luo was 28 years old, a talented young doctor in the medical field. At 28 years old, he was already her lead doctor in charge of curing the world's difficult and rare disease that she had.

The Professor Luo in Gu Yuan's memory was elegant and graceful, cultured and refined, dressed in a white coat and the whole body exudes an aura that belongs to an outstanding person.

Perhaps it was the subconscious dependency on the doctor in charge after becoming a patient. She really liked Professor Luo.

Especially after she found out about Chen Ran betrayals and deceits. In her despair, she even pinned all her hopes on Professor Luo.

Now, the elegant and graceful, cultured and refined, Professor Luo is already 53 years old? Is now an old man?

Gu Yuan wrinkled her nose, ".......In the future, we can meet again when there's a chance. Now, I wish to return home."

Things were still the same but the people have changed. It's better to retain the beautiful memories.

***************

Gu Yuan very quickly completed her discharged procedures. In the overwhelming of the institute's doctors and nurses, she pushed her small suitcase and followed the kind Dr. Chen to the airport.

In the suitcase, there was some simple clothing and items that were prepared for her by Dr. Chen. He also gave her back her ID as well as the cash from her purse before her surgery.

After Dr. Chen sent her to the airport, he reiterated again, "Remember to come back on time for your routine physical examination."

Gu Yuan naturally promised him and waved at him gratefully.to bid her farewell.

But Dr. Chen seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Gu Yuan halted her steps, "Dr. Chen, is there anything else that you want to tell me?"

Dr. Chen finally made up his mind, "Do you still remember the 5 ova that you freeze over?"

Gu Yuan stumped for a moment, then she remembered them.

During her treatment, she was found to possess a rare powerful gene. In the words of the professionals, it was a genius gene. If this rare gene disappeared, it would be a loss to humankind. So after the doctors discussed with her, she agreed to remove 5 ova from her body.

Gu Yuan suddenly had a bad premonition, her black and white clear distinct eyes looked at Dr. Chen. Her eyes blinked and she carefully asked: "Then?"

Dr. Chen looked at her seriously and replied, "That 5 ova had already turned into life forms."

Gu Yuan's eyes instantly widened.

This was a feeling that she was unable to voice out, just like having someone told her 'Your 5 eggs have hatched.'

Dr. Chen: "That 5 ova had turned into life forms, 5....."

Dr. Chen contemplating on how to continue: "5 sons. The eldest among them is already 24 years old."

Gu Yuan: ".................."

Dr. Chen looked at her seriously: "Miss Gu, if you want, I have some clues here with me."

Gu Yuan quickly shook her head and waved again: "No, no, no. Let's forget it."

Even though she's already 45 years old, she still felt she was that 18 years old beautiful girl who suffered from a terminal disease and just entered into the institute with the hope. She's unable to accept that there's someone who helped her hatch out a 24 years old convenient son!!

When Dr. Chen wanted to say more, Gu Yuan had turned around and pulled her suitcase along, practically fleeing from him.

After walking far away, Gu Yuan was still unable to calm down her heart.

She's not married and she didn't have a harmonious life yet, but unexpectedly she now had 5 sons? The eldest is already 24 years old?

It was unimaginable.

Gu Yuan took a deep breath to try and calm herself down. She decided not to continue to dwell in it since it was only 5 ova. She also never saw them before, so it had nothing to do with her.

Yes, it had nothing to do with her!

After trying so hard to convince herself, she finally has the mood to look around the airport.

It really had to be said that, the changes in these 25 years were really big. Gu Yuan looked around this airport that was built very magnificently and filled with the smell of the future. Afterward, she followed the stream of people to prepare and check-in.

A staff member looked at her at a glance: "This is your own ID?"

Gu Yuan hurriedly said: "Yes."

It was Dr. Chen who helped her to apply for this new ID recently. He said nowadays IDs were already upgraded and can be used to directly check-in to train stations and airports. Gu Yuan felt that this was very magical. The ID in her memory belongs to the outdated era when it was checkered twill and laminated in plastic.

The staff member frowned, and looked at Gu Yuan up and down: "You're 45 years old this year?"

Gu Yuan hesitated awhile then nodded her head: "Yes, I'm 45 years old already."

The staff member checked once again, according to the face verification based on the ID's photo, there is no problem. She didn't say anything more and let Gu Yuan pass.

The people who lined up behind Gu Yuan naturally heard what she said, and they all looked at her 1 after another.

The young girl had some baby fat, looked lovable and charming. Her skin was milky, smooth and tender, it looked delicate. Her eyes were big and bright. No matter how they looked at her, she still looked like a pure young and inexperienced lady. How can she be 45 years old? Is that a lie?

No matter how advanced the modern plastic surgery was, the face that was touched by a knife and natural youth was obviously very different from each other. Faces that were touched by knives before, will never have this kind of youthfulness that came from within the bones. Furthermore, this young lady emitted the aura of a simple girl who had just entered university.

Facing the unbelievable eyes around her, Gu Yuan pulled her suitcase and lowered her head, hurriedly prepared to board the plane.

Although her youthful appearance attracted people's admiration and made her very happy, Gu Yuan afraid that the airport personnel would not allow her to board her plane. The air ticket was very expensive. If by any chance, she was stuck there, she still needed to pay for the air ticket!

After the plane took off smoothly, Gu Yuan finally felt relieved.

Looking around, the surrounding people had their heads bowed while holding and looking at a rectangular device with an electronic screen. It looked like a console game that she had played before. Gu Yuan was puzzled, thinking what were those devices. A newly invented game console? It appeared to be more interesting compared to the game console that she had played before.

After getting off the plane, Gu Yuan exit the airport and took a taxi in line as taught by Dr. Chen.

The taxi was driving on the highway and Gu Yuan looked out of the window

Although she had accepted that it was now 25 years later, and she understood the daily development of science and technology in these 25 years means the had already been achieved. But Gu Yuan was still shocked when looking at this city street view.

(TN: 四个现代化 – The Four Modernizations were goals first set forth by Deng Xiaoping to strengthen the fields of agriculture, industry, defense, and science and technology in China.)

After the taxi stopped, he requested for $120 from Gu Yuan. This made Gu Yuan take a deep breath. She looked at the driver in surprise, she never expected that after 25 years had passed, unexpectedly there's a taxi that charges sky-high prices to blackmail people. Her father's salary was only $1,000++ a month and it was already considered a high salary!

Gu Yuan: "How can this be! $120 is so expensive, brother driver, you can't bully me like this, this is daylight robbery! "

The taxi driver glared at Gu Yuan: "Expensive? You still think this is expensive? My taxi runs on the meter and this price is already very common here. You think I'm overcharging you? Louzi never does this kind of thing!"

[TN: Louzi- "I, your father" (in anger, or out of contempt) / I (used arrogantly or jocularly)]

Gu Yuan: "........"

A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Looking at the taxi driver who was so fierce, Gu Yuan reluctantly gave him $120 and treated it as she's spent the money to buy her safety.

After receiving the money, the taxi driver looked at it carefully then looked at Gu Yuan. He then left her with a strange look.

After getting off from the taxi, she looked around the neighbourhood that had not been demolished and felt relieved.

Her mother already passed away while her father also remarried with a woman, surnamed Hou. Therefore her only reliance was this apartment here which was left to her by her waipo.

[TN: waipo – maternal grandmother]

To yearn day and night, after 25 years, she never expected that she could still return to this apartment.

Along the journey here, she kept thinking about it. She still had the key in her hand, she only scared that the neighbourhood was not around anymore and the door for the key to unlocking it did not exist anymore.

Now that the neighbourhood is still here and her apartment was still standing.

She took a sigh of contentment, carried her suitcase up to the 3rd floor, and finally came to her doorstep.

When she looked at the security door that was completely different from her memory, she felt something was wrong.

She took out her key and planned to open the door, but at this moment the door opened.

From within the door, a woman looked at her defensively: "Who are you? Why do you want to open our door?"

Gu Yuan looked at this woman inquisitively: "Are you Gu Yue?"

She soon felt something was wrong, Gu Yue was the younger sister brought over by her stepmother when she married her(GYuan) father. She was only younger than her by 3 months. So, by now she should be 45 years old also but the woman standing in front of her looked like 20 plus years old only. This woman and Gu Yue resembled each other, is this Gu Yue's daughter?

The woman: "Why do you know my mother's name? Who are you?"

When the woman was saying these, a few people also came out together from behind her. There's an old man, a young man and finally a woman in her forties. That woman angrily said: "Zihan, who is it?"

Peng Zihan: "Mom, this person just mentioned your name. Is she here for you?"

The middle-aged woman already looked over to probe. When she saw Gu Yuan at first sight, she was stunned.

"You, you, you——"

Gu Yuan looked at the woman in her forties that stood in front of her in surprise. There were very obvious crow feet, some dark spots that cannot be covered by the thick layer of foundation, sagging skin as well as the very obvious laugh lines that cannot be hidden.

[TN: crow's feet – wrinkle at the side of the eyes.]

Through the traces left by these years, she was still able to recognize the younger sister that was younger than her by 3 months.

Gu Yuan's mother died when she was 12 years old. At that time, her father remarried again and her stepmother brought along a daughter that became her younger sister. Both their ages were separated by a few months, so they attended the same class in the same school. After being together for a few months, there were a lot of fights. Therefore, Gu Yuan's waipo appeared and took Gu Yuan away to take care of her personally. After that only things finally settled down.

[TN: waipo – maternal grandmother]

Later, Gu Yuan had a terminal disease, also passed away, and the money left by to treat her illness was also "borrowed" by her stepmother to be used as this younger sister's expenses when studying abroad.

These matters, Gu Yuan had always kept them in mind. Whenever she thought about it, she felt very angry, wishing she could just rush over and beat up the fat Gu Yue.

But maybe the world had changed too much upon her waking up or maybe looking at the Gu Yue who had stepped into middle age, her heart actually felt amazed. She curiously looked at Gu Yue up and down: "Gu Yue, is that you? I'm your Jiejie, Gu Yuan. It's been many years since we last met."

[TN: Jiejie – older sister]

Gu Yue's mouth was wide open, not a word came out from her mouth.

Her daughter, Peng Zihan, standing at the side and looked at Gu Yuan as if she's looking at a mental case: "Who are you? Is there something wrong with you?"

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Yue's daughter: "You're called Zihan? I am your Yiyi, your mother's Jiejie. Zihan, when talking to elders you need to be polite, do you know?"

[TN: Yiyi \= maternal aunty, mother's younger/older sister]

She can't help but felt good when she looked at this niece who was even older than her.

Money was just a worldly possession. She just had a sleep and already can defeat everyone with her beauty and youth.

Peng Zihan: "???"

Gu Yue's face was filled with doubts: "You, You're really Gu Yuan?"

Gu Yuan naturally knew that Gu Yue did not believe her, she then touched her own face. Didn't know if it was because of the nutrients fluids fed to her when she was still in deep-freeze was too nutritious for after she woke up, her skin was in even better condition compared to before her deep-freeze. It's bright, smooth and tender just like a newly peeled boiled egg white. Thinking about this, she felt very satisfied.

She smiled at Gu Yue: "Meimei, do you feel I have any difference compared to 25 years ago? You can't find any differences right? Then I'm really your Jiejie, the real deal and not a fake. How can this be false, right?"

[TN: Meimei \= younger sister]

Gu Yue with her saggy skin and wrinkles: "..........................."

It was because there's no difference between now and 25 years ago that there's something wrong here!

25 years, she herself already a middle-aged woman, how can Gu Yuan look so young?

Looking at Gu Yue shocked with the sour and uncomfortable look, Gu Yuan felt very good: "You didn't know? I've failed my surgery and was put into deep-freeze. Now that science and technology developed rapidly, I was also cured of my disease and was then taken out from my deep-freeze state."

While she spoke, she walked past the shocked and dumbfounded Peng Zihan and Gu Yue as well as both the old and young men. Entering the apartment, she looked at the furnishings that were completely different from the original, she frowned: "How did you all live in my home? How did my home become like this? What did you guys do?"

Gu Yue finally reacted at this time.

Gu Yue remembered, that time it was said that the surgery was a failure and Gu Yuan was put into deep-freeze. But at that point in time, she thought deep-freeze meant Gu Yuan already died. She had always thought Gu Yuan was already dead for the past 25 years.

Unexpectedly, she was alive again?

She stared at Gu Yuan: "This is now my home, this apartment is now mine. I have already inherited this apartment."

Gu Yuan: "You inherited this apartment?"

Gu Yuan suddenly became angry. They had a long history of animosity, originally she already did not want to bicker with her but in the end, now she was told that even her own apartment and home also Gu Yue wanted to occupy?

Gu Yue: "You might not know after you had been deep-freeze, father inherited this apartment. Afterwards, father gave this apartment to me. Right now the apartment is already under my name."

Peng Zihan who was standing at the side stunned finally reacted and rushed over: "Right, this is now our home."

The older man who was obviously Gu Yue's husband, after listening to the conversation between his wife and Gu Yuan, he was thoroughly stunned but once he heard about the apartment, he immediately puffed out his chest and reacted aggressively: "Gu Yue, who is this? This is our family home, what does it have to do with her? "

Gu Yuan simply ignored him and directly asked Gu Yue: "Where is dad?"

Gu Yue: "Dad had been dead for more than 10 years. Before he passed away, he left this apartment to me. Let me tell you again, this apartment is mine!"

Peng Zihan suddenly realized something and quickly rushed into the bedroom. She took out a title deed: "This is our title deed, the owner stated here is my mom and totally have no relation with you. Don't be like a beggar and stay at our home."

Gu Yuan gritted her teeth in anger then she looked at the mother and daughter pair: "I'm not dead yet. For what reason would I transfer my ownership to dad? How can it be transferred without my consent?"

Gu Yue jealously looked at this Jiejie of her who was younger and even more beautiful than her own daughter, gritting her teeth: "After you've been deep-freeze for 5 years, dad applied for your death certificate!"

After all, it was more than 20 years ago. At that time, a lot of procedures can be done without going through a lot of channels. After they got her death certificate, everything also became easier to do. They divided the money in Gu Yuan's bank card among themselves and they also inherited her apartment. Even all of her other things, those that can be taken and divided also they do not let go while those that they have no use of were all disposed of.

Anyway, everything that used to belong to Gu Yuan already long gone from this world.

Death certificate?

Gu Yuan was dumbfounded.

So, when the people in the institute haven't given up on her and still maintain the survival of her body at a high cost, her only close relative, her dad, had already long given up on her and can't wait to apply a death certificate for her.

Looking at the loss looked in Gu Yuan eyes, Gu Yue smiled proudly: "Good , although you're young and beautiful but this apartment is really mine now. If you wish to have it back also can, just go and find dad. This apartment was given to me by dad and not by you. Right ——"

Then, Gu Yue suddenly remembered something: "That jade pendant of yours, dad also gave it to me."

When Gu Yuan heard it, she immediately quivered and almost wanted to rush over to give Gu Yue a slap.

That jade pendant was a memento left by her mother for her!

Dad actually gave the jade pendant left by her mother to Gu Yue!!

Peng Zihan saw something was not right and immediately rushed out: "What do you want to do? Do you want to hit someone? This is our apartment, if you wish to hit someone we'll dial 110 immediately. Get lost!"

......

The following situation was in total chaos, Gu Yue's husband and Peng Zihan's boyfriend also rushed over. With the tragic scene of 1 against 4, Gu Yuan was kicked out from the apartment and her suitcase was ruthlessly thrown out.

Her suitcase opened and a few clothes were scattered around the floor.

Gu Yue laughed proudly from behind: "So what if you're young? You're just an old antique! You know not a damn thing! Do you think this is still 25 years ago? You don't own anything now!"

At this moment, the neighbours had already been alarmed, everyone looked over in excitement to see how Gu Yue scolded this girl who came to her house. It had attracted a lot of people.

Surrounded by all the people watching, Gu Yuan lowered her head and packed back her clothes.

She had been issued a death certificate 20 years ago. She had nothing now and the apartment is not hers anymore. She estimated the balance in her bank card also was not there anymore. She sighed, the only possession she had right now is this suitcase and the 880 yuan inside it.

She had around 1000 yuan in the beginning and used 120 yuan on the taxi.

880 yuan was still a lot of money, so Gu Yuan started to make her plans. She can first rent a place for herself, then only think of a way to file a lawsuit and get back her own apartment.

However, when she properly keeps her 800 plus yuan into her pocket, Peng Zihan sneered from the side.

Just now when the suitcase was opened, everything inside the suitcase can be seen clearly.

Peng Zihan said with a smile: "Really a destitute , from top to bottom only had a few clothes and a few hundred yuan!"

Gu Yue now is also in a very good mood: "What's so good being young, you're so poor that you're no better than a beggar!"

Among the neighbours, there was an old neighbour who knew about what happened in the past. After the initial shock, he felt some sympathy towards Gu Yuan: "You better make a phone call to the real estate office and ask about how to handle a case like yours?"

Gu Yuan also thought the same in her heart, and looked at her neighbour gratefully: "I'm planning to find a phonebooth to make a call."

Neighbour: "Phonebooth??? Where's your mobile phone? Hurried call now and ask, then call a lawyer to consult with."

Gu Yuan: "Mobile phone?"

She soon understood: "The little game console that you all held in your hands is a mobile phone?"

Everyone: "................."

Neighbour: "................."

Gu Yue suddenly laughed until her tears almost came out: "You don't even know about mobile phones!"

The few young people on the side also felt this was very funny: "Where did you come out from that you don't even know what a mobile phone was? Do you know what a QR code was? Where did this old antique come from?"

Gu Yuan's heart was at a loss, she really didn't know anything............

The neighbour was even more sympathetic: "Do you have money now?"

Gu Yuan: "Yes, I have more than 800 yuan."

Neighbour: "........"

What can you do with 800 yuan?

Gu Yue laughed loudly after listening to their conversation. In the beginning, she was jealous of Gu Yuan's youthful face but she did not envy her at all now.

Gu Yuan was young, but she had no money, no home, no husband and no children. She did not have anything at all. Both her husband and daughter also had very good careers, only this can be called the winner of life!

The onlookers also looked at Gu Yuan sympathetically and amusingly. They had never seen such a rare occurrence. Such a rare excitement, and some people also secretly took Gu Yuan's photo and shared it in Moments.

Listening to the mockery around her, she understood that she had lost her face. There's nothing she can do. It had been 25 years and her knowledge on technology was too far behind in time.

Really became an old antique.

As she was thinking, she suddenly found that the people surrounding her had stopped laughing. Everyone was looking in surprise towards the direction of the neighbourhood doorway.

"A lot of cars came."

"There are also a lot of bodyguards, and they're all dressed in black."

"What is this all about?"

"Wasai, a long Rolls-Royce, it's a limited edition, car number 888, v5 so dominating! Damn, quick, faster take pictures! I want to share this in Moments."

[TN: Wasai – an exclamation in wonder \= wow]

Gu Yue and Peng Zihan also went off to join in the excitement. This is a neighbourhood that was small and old, so it was very rare for them to see any rich people. This kind of thing had never happened before.

What everyone didn't expect was when the door of the Rolls-Royce opened, someone came out from the car while surrounded by bodyguards. He walked into the neighbourhood and stood in front of everyone.

The bodyguards surrounded a person in the middle, this person was dressed in an expensive suit. He was tall and straight, with a sword-like eyebrow that was straight and strong, starry eyes, a solemn face and a sharp breath.

Judging from the respectful manner of people around him, this person was certainly not a normal person.

Everyone was shocked. Who was this person? Was he someone's relative? How come he came to this small neighbourhood?

Peng Zihan flushed in excitement. She felt that the person was coming towards her direction?

What does this mean? Did the other person fall for her? Then can she get rid of her current boyfriend now?

Everyone just stared as the distinguished figures that completely incompatible with their neighbourhood came to them and stopped.

Peng Zihan felt her body going to float up, this person unexpectedly stood in front of her?

She suppressed the excitement in her heart, she blushed and took the initiative to said: "Sir, you looked for me——"

Before she could finish her words, she heard the handsome man say: "Mom, hello. I am your son."

Peng Zihan: "???"

Gu Yue: "???"

Onlookers: "???"

When everyone were shocked until they're unable to perform their daily life activities, Gu Yuan was busy keeping her 800 plus yuan properly, zipped up her suitcase and thought about what she should do in her next step.

She was too focused on her thoughts that she did not hear the words spoken by the person beside her.

When she stood up, she felt there was darkness before her eyes because she squatted on the floor for too long earlier

After she left the institute today, it seems she only had a meal in the aeroplane only. Now she already felt hungry, and she used to have low blood sugar.

In a flash, a pair of powerful hands politely supported her shoulders.

The reason it was said politely, was because it seems as if he holds on her coincidentally and with appropriate manners without making people feel offended.

She looked back in surprise. The one who appeared in her eyes was a man with sharp eyebrows and a cold look, strong facial features and sword-like eyebrows. Except for his expression that was too serious, she felt that this man can score 100 points. He was the standard version of the hero in the romance novels that she read last time.

The point here was, this man was currently very politely supporting her shoulders.

Since she left the institute, she had been in a state of uneasiness. Suddenly there was a person here who showed goodwill to her, her heart was emotionally moved. She hurriedly smiled and embarrassingly said: "Sir, thank you. I'm fine."

The man looked at her, raised his eyebrow, and whispered: "Mom, you're welcome."

Gu Yuan: "???"

The surrounding neighbours, Gu Yue and Peng Zihan, all of their faces one by one also full of question marks. Unable to comprehend the conspicuous and rich man in front of them.

Looking at the scene in front of their eyes, they're even more stunned. They almost thought what they heard was just their fantasy

What does this mean? Such a rich and lavish man actually called Gu Yuan as 'Mom'?

How old was Gu Yuan?

Everyone's gaze fell on Gu Yuan at the same time. What they saw was just her pure and blank expression, as if she had totally no idea of what happened.

If you told anyone that such a young and green young lady gave birth to a son who was a hundredfold more matured, who will believe?

Gu Yue unable to understand while Peng Zihan was stupefied.

The man lowered his head and looked at Gu Yuan, only to see Gu Yuan was stunned with her mouth slightly opened, her eyes widely open and incomprehensibly looked at him.

His sword-like eyebrow moved slightly, his expression was still faint but he slows down his voice: "You are indeed my mother. Let me explain this to you slowly later. How about we go to a restaurant, then we can also order some food to eat first?"

Order what? Gu Yuan's brain automatically helped her to translate, just to have a meal?

Her thirsty throat moved. She really needed a meal. She was so hungry that her stomach already started rumbled.

But——

She looked at the man and helplessly said: "You might recognize the wrong person. I am not your mother——"

She stopped when she spoke until halfway.

Suddenly the words that were spoken by Dr. Chen in the airport appeared in her mind,

Her 5 ova were like 5 , already broken out from their shell and turned into 5 healthy and active convenient sons.

The eldest was already 24 years old!

She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. Leaving aside his overly matured and cold bearing, it was estimated that he had over 20 years old. Therefore, there was a possibility that this was her son.

Knowing there were 5 big convenient sons was one thing, and seeing one with one own eye was a kind of shock.

The man looked at her silently, as if able to see her question, he nodded and reaffirmed: "Yes, mom. I said I am your son."

Gu Yuan's leg suddenly softened and almost fell down.

The man considerately supported her arm: "Mom, let's go. I'll take you to go for a simple meal."

Gu Yuan only felt as if her whole body had no energy. She did not know was it because of hunger or too emotional. She nodded and weakly replied: "Good, good........"

Thereupon, under the sight of the surrounding shocked until unable to comprehend neighbours, Gu Yuan was practically half carried away by the man to the modified long Rolls-Royce.

When they wanted to get in the car, an assistant already opened the door eagerly.

The man raised his hand and put it under the car roof so as to avoid Gu Yuan from hitting the car roof when she enters the car.

Gu Yuan gratefully looked at the thoughtful 'son' and got into the car.

In the neighbourhood, all the people that were present on the scene almost felt that something had gone wrong with their brain. They looked at Gu Yue for help: "What the hell was all that?"

Gu Yue was completely at a loss: "These.....How the hell will I know how she would suddenly have such a big son that came out of nowhere? Or when did she gave birth?"

Peng Zihan was suddenly very excited: "Mom, that was my , my dear . The person just now was my son, that means the guy just now was my ! Why didn't you stop them from leaving!"

Neighbours: "......................"

This was unbelievable!

*****************

Gu Yuan felt that her whole person was floating in a dream as if she had become the Cinderella in a palace. Everything surrounding her was surreal.

Her son took her to a very upscale and elegant restaurant and ordered a lot of dishes for her.

She was actually very hungry, therefore she did not hold back.

She ate in perfect contentment, the food in an upscale restaurant was indeed very delicious. It was so delicious that it made her wanted to cry in happiness.

After she had her fill, she contently wiped her mouth. Then she curiously looked at this convenient son of her.

Although her son who sat opposite of her did not show any smile on his face but overall can be seen he was very courteous, graceful, filial and considerate.

"Mom, let me introduce myself. My name is Ji Qisen, 23 years old, biologically can be considered as your son." Ji Qisen politely said.

"Oh." Facing such a big son, Gu Yuan was still in a dazed. She felt everything resembled a science fiction movie: "That.......You said you're 23 years old this year?"

She remembered Dr Chen words, her eldest son was already 24 years old?

"Yes." Ji Qisen nodded.

"Then do you know——" Gu Yuan said with hesitation, she was struggling to find suitable words to continue: "At that time, I had 5 ova. Do you know the whereabouts of the others?"

Don't know if the father of all her ova were the same person or not. Or did they all considered as brothers?

Ji Qisen looked at Gu Yuan's frown and worried face that she did not know how to explain. Then he suddenly understood.

"My father that year passed the qualification and managed to obtain 1 ovum and had me. As for the information on the whereabouts of the others, I do not know. All this information was kept confidential, therefore I have no access to them. But I did know all the others ova had already been used."

At the end, when he said the word 'used', it was said with some hesitation.

After all, these kinds of things involved ethics, and it was indeed too bizarre.

"Oh, oh.....this..." Gu Yuan was still stupefied but she tried to digest this fact. This son was 23 years old, maybe he was her 2nd son? She might have 4 such convenient sons around this age.

When she tried to imagine being called 'mom' by 5 sons at the same time, she almost choked by her own saliva.

Ji QIsen quickly poured a glass of fruit juice and passed it to Gu Yuan thoughtfully.

Gu Yuan quickly took it and had a few sips to comfort her frightened heart.

Qi Jisen waited in silence for her to calm down.

After a while, Gu Yuan suddenly thought of a question: "Right, you....you have already seen me before?"

She was really unable to comprehend, she herself already felt awkward. How come this son didn't seem to have any psychological pressure when he called her mom.

Ji Qisen: "Since young, I already knew I was different from the other children. That I came to this world under special conditions though the use of science and technologies. My father would also take me to go visit you from time to time. That's why I already knew of your existence since I was young."

After Gu Yuan heard this, she finally understood. If he already looked at her as his mom since young, after so many years, she supposed he already got used to it.

Ji Qisen: "Is there anything else that you wanted to ask me?"

There are too many questions that she wanted to ask.

But facing such an old son, Gu Yuan felt a bit uneasy. She felt it was too embarrassing to throw out all her questions. Therefore she can only choose questions that were not too sensitive to ask first: "You already graduated from university?"

Ji Qisen: "Mom, thank you for passing me your genius gene. Since I was young my IQ has been very outstanding. At 13, I had already graduated from university and I studied in one of the Ivy League school. At 17, I joined our own company for an internship and now after 6 years, I already took over my father's responsibilities at work."

In front of this convenient son, Gu Yuan pretended to be very calm and collected: "Oh, I see."

In her heart, she was actually very shocked.

She wanted to cry. What genius gene? Why didn't it have any effect on her? Since she was young, besides being beautiful, she had no other strength. When it came to studies, it was no good also!

Ji Qisen raised his eyes to looked at Gu Yuan: "I coincidentally sent people to check on you yesterday and learned that you had already woken up. There was a very important meeting yesterday and today I originally wanted to fly over to have a look at you, Unexpectedly Dr, Chen told me that you had already left. Therefore, I directly came over here to find you."

He looked at Gu Yuan's empty glass and considerately passed over a delicately printed serviette to Gu Yuan. He dully asked: "Mom, when I came to look for you just now, was someone was bullying you?"

Gu Yuan carefully wiped the corner of her mouth. Looking at this son that sounds like those tyrannical CEO that she read in novels last time, she suddenly felt somewhat ashamed. As the 'old' mother, to let her own son see such a spectacle, she really had no place to show her face.

She then somewhat mumbled: "They didn't bully me, they only occupied my apartment.....and kicked me out."

Ji Qisen saw that she seemed ashamed as she drooped her eyes.

He immediately lowered his eyes and quietly asked: "The place they're staying right now was mom's apartment?"

To start explaining will be very complicated and not something that can be made clear in a few words..

Gu Yuan glanced at this overwhelming tyrant-like son, sighed and softly said: "This problem, we will have to start from more than 20 years ago......"

Talking about this, Gu Yuan clearly explained about her grudges with her sister thoroughly. How this sister took her life-saving money, forcing her to join the institute experiments quota for free treatments. To be at an impasse, penniless and finally woke up just to discover her own apartment had already been seized. Even the jade pendant that was left by her mother also suffered the same fate.

Originally Gu Yuan felt that these kinds of things were a bit embarrassing. After all, they were mother and son that met for the 1st time. She also wished to leave a good impression on this son. However now, she had no other choice but to tell her son face to face the history of her .

But talking about it, Gu Yuan recalled those matters from the past and became angrier. She clenched her fist, her face flushed red, and ground her teeth: "She snatched away my everything. My apartment, my jade pendant! Those were left to me by my waipo and mom! "

Ji Qisen looked at this lady that was seething with anger in front of him.

He remembered the 1st time he saw her. At that time, he was only 3 years old. When he saw other kids had a mother, he also wished to have a mother. He did not like all those ladies that were surrounding his father.

At that time his father took him to sit on a plane and then they reached the institute. And there, he met his mother who was in a glass cover.

At that time, he was still young. He really likes this mother a lot. Therefore he diligently studied to progress and became even more outstanding just so his father will take him to see his mother on the weekend. He used to make a birthday cake every year then made a wish that his mother would wake up to eat his cake.

20 years had already passed. He's an adult now and he also no longer likes birthday cake nor did he like birthdays. But she awakens now.

She had finally woken up and looked so young and immaculate. Though she was now seething with anger and her hand was clenched in a fist while complaining about those who bullied her. But she was now sitting in front of him looking so vivid and lively.

He had grown up but her temperament was still that of an 18 years old, just like a child.

Ji Qisen said in a deep voice: "Mom, don't worry. Since this apartment was left by your waipo for you, then that was a very important vestige. I will think of a legal way to get it back."

Gu Yuan suddenly stopped in her anger and looked at Ji Qisen in surprise, unable to believe it: "Really? You can think of a way to get it back?"

Using her 25 years ago memories to think also know, this was not something simple. Things had changed with the passage of time and the apartment had already changed hands 2 times. Where can they find the evidence?

However, Ji Qisen nodded, and positively replied: "Naturally."

Such a definite answer suddenly made Gu Yuan felt relieved. Since he said so, then it should not have any problem?

Once she thought about the return of both the apartment and jade pendant, Gu Yuan was overjoyed at the turn of the event. Till the point that she almost jumped up in excitement. But once she saw the one before her eyes were her son, then as the 'old' mother she should show some dignity befitting an elder. She quickly contains the happiness in her heart and sincerely expressed her gratefulness at the turn of the event: "Thank you, Qi....."

Wait, what was his name?

Ji Qisen: "My surname was Ji, given name Qisen."

Gu Yuan was really embarrassed at this moment. Her face flushed red and she laughed nervously as she covered her embarrassment, then she quietly continued: "Thank you, Qisen."

It's so nice to have a son. Especially the tyrannical CEO type of son.

Totally feels like an omnipotent son.
