Chapter 210: Care from Family and Friends
Chapter 210: Care from Family and Friends
Jiang Shiyuan's heart softened when he saw the worry and self-blame in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Brother Jing'an, the situation was urgent and I didn't have time to say goodbye to you."
"Ayuan, I know you want to save the country, but you have seen the current situation. Nanjing has fallen and Shanghai is also in danger. What can you, a girl, do?"
"I know my power is very weak, but I can't just watch our country and people being trampled by the Japanese pirates!"
Jiang Shiyuan's tone was firm and his eyes were full of determination.
Then she briefly recounted her journey alone to Nanjing after the Battle of Shanghai, what she saw and heard along the way, and what happened in Nanjing.
"Become a war correspondent and establish the Jinling Safety Zone..." Chen Jing'an muttered to himself, frowning, "These things are too dangerous."
"I know, but Brother Jing'an, someone has to do it." Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were firm and clear, "And I successfully saved the lives of countless people in Jinling!"
Chen Jing'an looked at the proud and confident smile on her face, and felt both distressed and proud.
He knew that he could not stop her from practicing her patriotic ideals, nor could he change any decision she made.
"Promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will ensure your own safety first." He said solemnly.
Jiang Shiyuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, I promise you!"
She patted Chen Jing'an's shoulder gently, as if she was comforting her own big dog, with a gentle tone.
"Call A Yan tonight, and let's go back to Jiang Mansion for dinner together!"
"Okay." The worry in Chen Jing'an's eyes disappeared, and a smile appeared, "I'll arrange it right away!"
"Then I'll go to the R&D room first, see you later." Jiang Shiyuan said, turning and walking towards the door.
"Go ahead, but remember to combine work and rest and don't overwork yourself." Chen Jing'an watched her leave, his eyes full of doting.
Jiang Shiyuan came to the independent research and development room on the top floor of the office building. When he opened the door, a familiar smell of medicine hit his nose.
She took a breath and felt extremely relaxed physically and mentally.
Jiang Shiyuan locked the door, then walked to the table, picked up the receiver, and dialed the number of Jiang Mansion.
"Hello? Who is this?" A slightly old voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mother Feng, I'm Xiaoyuan. I've arrived in Shanghai and I want to let my family know I'm safe!"
"Oh, Second Miss, you finally called!"
"Madam talks about you so much every day that she almost cuts the phone line!" Aunt Feng said excitedly, her voice trembling a little.
"I'm back safely. I'm sorry to have made you and Aunt Xiang worried." Jiang Shiyuan said apologetically.
"That's good, that's good! Miss, when will you be back? Madam said she would welcome you home and cook your favorite food..."
"Auntie Feng, I will go back tonight and take Brother Jing'an and A'Yan with me." Jiang Shiyuan interrupted Auntie Feng and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay! I'll go tell my wife right away and make her happy too!" Aunt Feng's tone was full of excitement.
"That's it for now, see you tonight."
"Hey! Goodbye, Second Miss!"
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Jiang Shiyuan's face gradually disappeared.
She walked to the window, looked at the busy street outside, her mind full of thoughts.
After a moment, she picked up the phone again and dialed Bao Mo Zhai's number.
"Stationmaster Wang, I am Shennong."
"Shennong, you're back?" Stationmaster Wang's tone contained a hint of surprise.
"Yes, Stationmaster, I just arrived in Shanghai last night."
Stationmaster Wang took a puff of his pipe and said with a smile, "Shennong, the superiors and the acting boss are full of praise for your and Nuwa's outstanding performance in Jinling. The commendation order will be issued soon."
"I don't dare to take credit for it, but please let me thank my superiors and my boss for their trust." Jiang Shiyuan said very humbly.
"By the way, I heard that there was a..." Stationmaster Wang hesitated to speak.
"The traitor has been eliminated, please rest assured, stationmaster." Jiang Shiyuan said calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"That's good. You've worked hard for more than a month. Take a good rest recently..." Stationmaster Wang breathed a sigh of relief and then comforted her.
"Okay, webmaster, I'll hang up now."
"Okay, contact me anytime if anything happens."
"Okay!" Jiang Shiyuan hung up the phone, rubbed his eyebrows, and a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes.
But instead of resting, she picked up the phone again and dialed another number.
"Hello? Who is this?" A deep and deep voice came from the other end of the phone, with a bit of intimidating aura.
"Godfather, it's me, Xiaoyuan."
"Xiaoyuan?!" The voice on the other end of the phone was obviously excited, "You are back safely?!"
"Well, I just arrived in Shanghai last night and am now at Jiayuan Pharmaceutical." Jiang Shiyuan suppressed his inner emotions and spoke as calmly as possible.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" The person on the other end of the phone said "Okay" three times in a row, which shows how excited Mr. Du is at the moment.
"Godfather, how are grandma and my brothers and sisters-in-law?" Jiang Shiyuan asked softly.
"Everything is fine, everything is fine! Ever since you went to Jinling, your grandmother has been worrying about you every day, worried that something might happen to you. Now that you're back, we are relieved." Grandpa Du's voice was full of love and care.
"I'm sorry for making my adoptive father and grandmother worry. It's all my fault." Jiang Shiyuan's nose felt sore and his eyes turned slightly red.
"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about!" Grandpa Du scolded gently.
"You have fought for your country and your people, risking your life. We are all proud of you!"
"Adoptive father..." Jiang Shiyuan could no longer control his emotions and choked up as he said, "How could I be so worthy of your love? I really am..."
"Well, we are all family, so let's not talk about different things."
Master Du interrupted her and said firmly: "Your father and brother are both heroes who stand tall and proud. They died heroically for their country and nation. I, Du, admire them!"
"Now, although they are gone, you still have us and the Du family!"
"We will always be your strongest supporter and will always be proud of you!"
"Godfather..." Jiang Shiyuan burst into tears, his heart filled with emotion and warmth.
"Okay, Xiaoyuan, don't cry. When can you come to the Du Mansion to stay for a few days? Your grandmother and brothers are worried about you."
"I have to go back to the Jiang Mansion tonight. I have an appointment tomorrow night, so I'll go to the Du Mansion to visit you the day after tomorrow!"
"Okay, I'll ask the servants to prepare your favorite dishes and wait for you to come back!" Master Du's tone was full of pampering.
"Thank you, godfather." Jiang Shiyuan's nose felt slightly sore and there was a hint of nasal tone in his words, but his heart was filled with happiness and warmth.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement.
Outside the window, the winter sun is gentle and warm, reflecting the city and her resolute face.
She knows that the road ahead is still long, but she is not alone.
Because behind her, she has family, close friends, and countless like-minded comrades.
Together, they will fight to the end to drive out the Japanese pirates and defend the country!
