I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.

Chapter 801 Surprise
"Yuzhu, I feel relieved to hear you say that. However, no matter where you are, you must take good care of yourself. After all..."

He sighed softly, the unspoken words seemed to be hidden deep in his eyes.

Jiang Yuzhu looked at him, feeling the concern in his words and the complicated emotions at that moment.

There was a warmth in her heart and she smiled slightly.

"Chen Hao, thank you for your concern. I will, and so will you. We all need to be well, right?"

A flash of emotion flashed through Chen Hao's heart, but he was also infected by Jiang Yuzhu's smile, "Yes, we all need to be well."

Following Chen Hao's lead, the two passed through the spacious gate of the institute and entered the interior.

On both sides of the corridor, the light shines softly on the smooth floor, and every step seems particularly quiet, as if you can hear the heartbeat of the other party.

Jiang Yuzhu looked around. Although there had been changes here, every corner still exuded a familiar atmosphere, which made her heart tighten involuntarily.

"This is our newest biological laboratory," Chen Hao pointed to a door with pride in his voice.

"We have conducted a series of studies on gene editing here and have achieved some preliminary results."

Jiang Yuzhu walked over and looked in through the glass window, only to see several researchers in white coats busy inside.

She couldn't help but feel a surge of complicated emotions in her heart. "That's great. You guys are making progress all the time."

"Yes, only by continuous hard work can you see results." Chen Hao's voice was firm.

He turned his head and took a deep look at Jiang Yuzhu. "Yuzhu, if you are willing, you are welcome to come back here at any time."

Jiang Yuzhu was startled for a moment, then smiled softly, "Thank you, Chen Hao."

At this time, Jiang Yuzhu's eyes lingered on the novel equipment in the room. Each piece of equipment represented the cutting edge of science.

Her eyes lit up, as if she had returned to the scientific research career she once loved.

Chen Hao noticed Jiang Yuzhu's curious eyes on the novel equipment in the laboratory.

He gently pulled her arm and led her closer to a particularly complex-looking instrument.

The surface of the machine shone with cold silver light, and the design was precise and intimidating.

"This is our newly introduced multifunctional cell analyzer." Chen Hao's voice was filled with pride.

"It can complete cell sorting, labeling and analysis in a very short time, which greatly improves our research efficiency."

Jiang Yuzhu touched the surface of the machine lightly, with a trace of deep thought in his eyes.

She turned back, her eyes showing her deep emotion for scientific research.

"It's really admirable. Technology is advancing so fast. Are these new technologies that have been available since I left?"

"Indeed." Chen Hao nodded and continued to introduce in detail.

"We also have a new research focus, which is about neurodegenerative diseases. Do you remember when you were very interested in this area?"

"Of course I remember." There was a hint of emotion in Jiang Yuzhu's tone.

"I have been paying attention to relevant research progress, but I didn't expect that you are already at the forefront of scientific research."

Walking through the long corridor, the two came to another door.

Chen Hao pressed the security system next to the door. After a slight electronic sound sounded, the door slowly opened.

They walked into a dark room, with only a piece of equipment on the central test stand emitting a faint blue light.

"This is the latest operating platform for optogenetics."

Chen Hao's voice became deeper, as if the environment made every word heavier.

"With it we can precisely control gene expression without affecting the activity of surrounding cells."

Jiang Yuzhu stepped forward and took a closer look at the flickering light spots, as if he saw hope for the future in them.

"These achievements are the result of your hard work."

Chen Hao stood beside her and answered in a low voice.

"Yes, but without your original research foundation and those beginnings, we would not be able to reach where we are today."

Jiang Yuzhu turned his head slightly and looked at Chen Hao, with complex emotions surging in his eyes.

At this moment, she deeply felt that although the direction of her life had changed.

But her past enthusiasm has not dissipated, and she still retains a persistent emotion on the road of scientific research.

"Chen Hao, it seems that I do have a lot of things that need to be updated." She chuckled, trying to hide the fluctuations in her heart.

"This world is constantly moving forward."

"Yes, there is no end to scientific research." Chen Hao smiled back, his eyes flashing with infinite expectations for the future. Jiang Yuzhu gently rubbed her research notes, thinking about Chen Hao's words in her mind.

Under the light of optogenetics, she was the researcher who always came up with innovative ideas.

Although her current life trajectory has changed, her love for scientific research is still deep in her heart.

Just as she was deep in thought, her phone suddenly rang. It was Pei Jingchuan's caller ID that jumped on the screen, breaking the silence around him.

"Yuzhu, are you free now?" Pei Jingchuan's voice came through the phone, seeming a little anxious.

"Well, I'm at the research institute. What's wrong, Jingchuan?" Jiang Yuzhu responded, feeling a little curious.

"I need your help with something. If it's convenient, can you come over now?" Pei Jingchuan's tone was full of expectation.

Jiang Yuzhu thought for a moment, and then agreed gently, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, she hurriedly packed her belongings and hurried to the research institute.

The scenery outside the car window quickly receded, and her mood also agitated.

For some reason, Pei Jingchuan's voice made her feel an unusual sense of urgency.

When they arrived at the research institute, Pei Jingchuan was already waiting at the gate.

There was a smile on his face, but there was some anxiety in his eyes.

"Yuzhu, thank you very much for coming here so quickly." Pei Jingchuan led her quickly towards the laboratory.

Jiang Yuzhu followed Pei Jingchuan into the laboratory of the institute, filled with doubts. She thought she would face a bunch of complex scientific problems, but when she walked into the laboratory, she found that there was no one inside and the instruments were silent. Pei Jingchuan smiled and said to her, "Our destination is not here."

He led her back to the parking lot and drove straight to her home. Jiang Yuzhu was even more confused, but Pei Jingchuan just smiled mysteriously and did not reveal more.

When the car stopped in front of her house, she noticed the light coming from the slightly covered curtains and the different bustling sounds from usual times. Pei Jingchuan opened the car door first and extended his hand to invite her: "Let's go in."

The moment he opened the door to his home, Jiang Yuzhu was surprised to find that the living room was filled with familiar faces.

Her aunt Jiang Xianmei stood there with a smile, and next to her was Meng Ling, holding a babbling baby in her arms.

Pei Yanqing was chatting with her grandma, while Pei Jingchuan's parents were smiling and talking to everyone.

"What's going on?" Jiang Yuzhu asked with confusion on his face.

Pei Jingchuan took her hand and led her towards the middle, with a hint of pride in his voice, "We want to give you a surprise. Today, we are going to take a family photo."

Jiang Yuzhu's surprise slowly turned into a warm smile. Looking at this carefully prepared scene, she was moved beyond words.

Jiang Xianmei stepped forward and patted her shoulder: "Yuzhu, family members should get together often, right?"

Mengling also added with a smile: "Yes, and it's time for this little guy to get to know more relatives."

She gently rocked the baby in her arms, causing a burst of baby laughter.

Pei Yanqing and grandma also came over. Grandma's face was full of loving smile: "What a wonderful child, let us as a family get together."

Pei's father and Pei's mother also joined the discussion, "We have always wanted to have such an opportunity for the whole family to get together and make beautiful memories." Pei's father said, and Pei's mother nodded in agreement.

Pei Jingchuan looked at Jiang Yuzhu with gentle eyes, "I know you have been very busy recently and may be a little tired. But I hope you can put everything aside today and enjoy this warmth with us."

Jiang Yuzhu's eyes gradually became moist, and she felt deeply moved and happy.

Looking around, every face was filled with joy and love, and the warmth of this moment hit her heart.

She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled and said to Pei Jingchuan, "This is really wonderful. I don't know how to thank you."

Pei Jingchuan held her hand tightly and responded gently: "Your happiness is the happiness of all of us, Yu Zhu."

Jiang Xianmei answered with a smile: "Yes, we have not been able to be together often for so many years. It is really not easy to be able to gather together like this today." There was a hint of sobs in her voice.

Meng Ling also stepped forward, patted Jiang Yuzhu on the back, and encouraged: "Look at so many people who love you, you have never been fighting alone, we are your strong backing."

Pei Yanqing said mischievously: "Then let's make this happy time an eternal memory today and let the photographer get busy!"

His words lightened the air with ease.

Amid laughter and conversation, the Pei family's grandmother slowly walked up to Jiang Yuzhu.

Holding her cheek with both hands, he said seriously: "My child, home is an eternal harbor. No matter how far you go, this will always be your destination."

Jiang Yuzhu was moved again by these words, and tears flowed down unconsciously.

She looked around at the circle of familiar faces, feeling countless gratitude and love in her heart.

"Thank you, I will remember this moment forever."

As the photographer pressed the shutter, the beauty of that moment was captured in the photo.

Jiang Yuzhu stood in the middle of his family, smiling brightly and his eyes shining with happiness.
