After she mentioned going to Country A, A Wan felt that Henry had become noticeably quieter.
“Henry, what’s wrong? Do you not want me to go to China?” A Wan asked.
A smile appeared on Henry’s face. “How could that be? A Wan, whatever you want to do, I’m willing to help you achieve it.”
“I was just thinking about how you should go to China.”
Hearing Henry’s words, A Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn’t help but think back. Over the past ten-plus years, the idea of going to China had surfaced in her mind from time to time.
But it always got delayed for various reasons.
Sometimes something urgent came up at the company, sometimes Henry was sick and couldn’t get out of bed, sometimes it was something else…
So, after all those twists and turns, it had been put off until now.
However, even after more than a decade, A Wan’s determination to return to China and seek answers remained strong.
“A Wan, I think the Canton Fair in China will be coming up in a while. We can go as clients from Country A, with you as the Chairman of your company, Yunshu Linkage,” Henry suggested.
No one knew just how remarkable A Wan had become after arriving in Country A.
In just over ten years, she had gone from having nothing to building a business empire in Country A—Yunshu Linkage, which spanned the electronics and automotive sectors.
No one knew how A Wan had astonished Henry and the people of Country A.
So now, A Wan’s status and position in Country A were undoubtedly very high and significant.
For her to travel abroad, it was both easy and not so easy.
Because the authorities in Country A also kept a close eye on her.
A Wan’s eyes lit up when she heard Henry’s suggestion. “Yes, that way, I can go without any issues.”
A Wan nestled in Henry’s arms. “Henry, thank you.”
He held her tightly and gently shook his head.
“Henry, do you think my amnesia, which hasn’t been cured in Country A, not even by you, might be treatable by doctors in China?” A Wan asked.
Henry pressed his lips together. He lowered his head, hiding the emotions in his eyes, and replied, “Maybe.”
“Hmm, I think I’ll give it a try when I get there. I feel like what I’ve forgotten is something very important, and I need to get it back.”
Henry held her tighter. “Alright, my dear, I’ll help you get it back.”
The next morning, after breakfast, A Wan went to the company. There was still some time before the Canton Fair. Since she had decided to go to China, she needed to properly handle some company matters beforehand.
Additionally, due to her status, since she was going to China, she not only had to inform the authorities in Country A but also notify the Chinese side.
After A Wan left, Henry went to the church as usual.
The Henry family were descendants of nobility in Country A, and they were relatively well-off. Of course, Henry himself was an exceptionally skilled doctor, particularly adept at treating psychological disorders and infectious diseases.
Henry was also a devout Christian.
He went to church for prayers every Monday.
And today was Monday.
At that moment, Henry was in the church, praying before the statue of Jesus.
Henry was undeniably handsome, with good looks and a great physique, came from a good family, and had a very gentle disposition.
Over the years, countless women had thought about becoming Henry’s mistress or secretly having his child.
But Henry had sternly rejected them all.
All of Country A knew that Dr. Henry was devoted only to his wife—the Chairman of Yunshu Linkage, Ms. Aviva.
And indeed, Ms. Aviva was a beautiful, exceptionally outstanding, and intelligent woman who captivated countless men in Country A.
At that moment, aside from Henry, there was no one else in the church.
His emerald-green eyes gazed at Jesus, filled with melancholy.
“A Wan’s desire to go to China has never changed.”
“I think I can’t stop her this time.”
“I have a bad feeling about this. I’m afraid that what I dread most will happen on this trip to China.”
“God, for the past ten-plus years, I have lived in repentance and guilt. I know I am a despicable thief.”
“These past ten-plus years have been a blessing from heaven to me.”
“And now, I am about to face my judgment and punishment.”
…
Back in Jing City, China, as soon as the Spring Festival ended, everyone plunged into the busyness of the new year.
Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing were no exception.
Tuantuan was still being cared for by Grandma Sang. Sheng Zexi had returned to the Jing City Military Region, while Gu Jianing was busy shuttling between Jing City University and Jing City First Hospital.
Right after the school semester began, Gu Jianing met with her third brother, Gu Yunzhou, and learned some news.
“Third Brother, you mean you’re going to study abroad in Country A?!” Gu Jianing was a bit surprised, though not exactly shocked.
She knew that during this period, there were government-funded study abroad opportunities.
She also knew that her third brother had a talent for electronic information and had performed well academically.
So, his selection for the program didn’t surprise her.
It just felt a bit sudden.
“Yes, the school had news last year, and the list of students was finalized early this year.”
“Actually, my advisor told me about this last year and mentioned that I had a strong chance of being selected.”
So, for Gu Yunzhou, it wasn’t sudden.
He had mentally prepared for it.
“Third Brother, do you want to go?” Gu Jianing asked.
Gu Yunzhou nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “I know that our country is still lagging in many areas. We urgently need to learn advanced technologies from abroad—that’s exactly why the school is sending us on government-funded studies.”
“The goal is to bring back advanced knowledge to develop our country.”
“Ningning, your third brother doesn’t have many skills, but studying and learning are things I’m decent at.”
“So, since this opportunity has come, I want to give it my best shot.”
Gu Jianing listened.
Actually, even before asking, knowing her third brother as she did, she already had a sense of his decision and answer.
So, his response didn’t surprise her.
“I have no problem with it, of course. But what about Mom and Dad? By the way, how many years will this take?”
“Probably at least four years, maybe five.”
“I heard there will also be an internship arranged at Yunshu Linkage in Country A.”
That company, Yunshu Linkage, was very well-known not only in Country A and China but also in other nations.
Although it had only risen to prominence in the past ten-plus years, it was now the largest electronic information technology and automobile manufacturing company in Country A.
The technology at Yunshu Linkage was undoubtedly the most advanced.
If he could learn some of it, that would be more than enough by the time he returned to China.
“Alright then. As for Mom and Dad, you’ll have to talk to them yourself. Think about it—you’re already at a certain age. If you go to study in Country A for four or five years, you’ll be in your thirties by the time you come back. You’ll end up a single, aging bachelor!”
