Chapter 134 The Story Begins

In 2018, Stanford University, the third lecture hall.

Wang Gang was standing on the podium and was lecturing to the students in the audience.

Suddenly the door of the classroom was opened, and Wang Gang was a little displeased. When he wanted to speak, he found that the person standing at the door was his wife Wu Fei.

Seeing Wu Fei's sweaty face, Wang Gang knew that something must have happened, so he said to the students:
"This is the end of today's class. You write a paper on the history of Internet development. It will be handed in next Wednesday, and it will be counted into the total score of the semester."

As soon as Wang Gang finished speaking, the students mourned a little, mainly because the topic assigned by Wang Gang was too big, and it was not easy to write it well.

"Professor Su, can you explain the principle of cloud computing again." A student raised his hand and asked.

"Edward, today's class is over. As for your question, I will arrange it in the next class." Wang Gang put away the textbook, and then said to all the students:
"get out of class."

Wang Gang walked out of the classroom with the textbooks in hand, and Wu Fei greeted him immediately.

"Mingzhe, why is your phone turned off?"

"I usually turn off my mobile phone in class." Wang Gang was puzzled and said, "If there is something urgent, let you come to the school to find me."

Wu Fei said anxiously: "Your mother had an accident, and your father couldn't find you, so he called me."

Surprised, Wang Gang took out his mobile phone and turned it on, and asked Wu Fei, "What's wrong with my mother?"

Wu Fei hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Mom has an accident."

Wang Gang frowned. At this moment, the phone was turned on, and a series of messages popped up.

bell bell bell.

When the phone rang, Wang Gang saw that it was Su Daqiang's number, and immediately picked it up.

"Hey, Dad, what's the matter, Mom?" Wang Gang asked anxiously.

"Mingzhe." Su Daqiang burst into tears on the phone, and intermittently said to Wang Gang: "Your mother is gone."

"What's going on, why is my mother gone?" Wang Gang asked.

On the phone, Su Daqiang only knew to cry, but could not speak a few words.

Wang Gang had a headache, so he could only appease Su Daqiang first, and then called Su Mingcheng.

As a result, Su Mingcheng didn't know what happened, so he co-authored Su Daqiang's first phone call to Wang Gang who was far away in the United States.

Wang Gang immediately asked Su Mingcheng to rush to the hospital to see what happened, and then said that he would return to China as soon as possible.

"Mingzhe, if you really want to go back to China, what will you do here at the school? You are now a tutor in the department, so you can't just leave." Wu Fei worried.

Since Wang Gang obtained his Ph.D., he did not go to work in a large factory, but chose to stay in school to teach.

In the past few years, he has published several papers on network cloud computing, and he has become famous, and his status in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford has also been greatly improved. He was just mentioned as a professor.

"If my mother really leaves, I have to go back to China to see her off for the last time." Wang Gang said firmly:
"You are busy with work, so don't go back to China, stay in the United States and take care of Xiaomi."

Wu Fei gave birth to Wang Gang's daughter, Xiaomi, who just entered kindergarten this year and cannot live without people around her.

"Okay." Wu Fei thought for a while, and felt that Wang Gang's arrangement was reliable, and then said, "Don't worry about Xiaomi, I will take good care of her. If you need anything, please contact my parents, they should be able to help."

"I will." Wang Gang turned on his mobile phone, searched for the fastest flight back to China, and then asked the department leader for leave.

After all, the school is not a company, and it is relatively free to ask for leave. Wang Gang's department has also arranged other people to substitute for the class.

Wu Fei was worried that his driving would be dangerous, so he took the initiative to send Wang Gang home to pack his luggage.

Wang Gang kept calling Su Mingyu in the car, but he never got through.

Over the past few years, Wang Gang has inevitably caused Zhao Meilan to have a heart attack like in TV dramas, and died suddenly. He has been reminding her to have regular physical examinations and take medicine on time.

Wang Gang still remits [-] U.S. dollars back every month, which is regarded as the pension money of his parents.

It stands to reason that Zhao Meilan took her medicine on time and was not short of money, so she shouldn't have left before she was sixty. Could it be that something unexpected happened?
When Wang Gang got on the plane, he called Su Mingyu and learned that she was on a business trip and was not in Su City. She did not answer the calls from Su Daqiang and Su Mingcheng.

"What the hell is Su Mingcheng doing? Mom didn't even notify me of such a big incident." Su Mingyu began to complain on the phone.

"Mingyu, my plane is about to take off, and the phone must be turned off. You should hurry back to Suzhou City to see what happened to Mom. No matter how much money you spend, you must save Mom!" Wang Gang said seriously.

"Of course. Although I have conflicts with my mother, I won't be confused about such a life-threatening matter. If Su City can't be cured, I will take my mother to the capital city." Su Mingyu said immediately.

Wang Gang hung up the phone at ease, and then turned off the phone.

Eleven hours later, when the plane landed at Modu Airport, Wang Gang immediately turned on his mobile phone and called Su Mingyu.

"Brother, I'm at the Modu Airport, you can see me when you come out." Su Mingyu said on the phone.

"How is Mom?" Wang Gang asked seriously.

There was silence on the phone for several seconds, and finally Su Mingyu said slowly: "Mom passed away, she passed away peacefully and didn't suffer much."

Wang Gang had already expected it in his heart, and he was not too surprised. After hanging up the phone, he silently dragged his suitcase and got off the plane.

Sure enough, Su Mingyu was waiting at the exit.

I haven't seen her in a few years, Su Mingyu is more mature than Wang Gang remembered, wearing a cashmere coat with a black armband pinned to her arm.

When Wang Gang came out, he saw Su Mingyu on the phone, as if he was arranging work matters.

It seems that Zhao Meilan's sudden death disrupted the original plans of many members of the Su family.

Wang Gang didn't bother Su Mingyu, they all left, and it's useless to be anxious now.

A few minutes later, Su Mingyu hung up the phone and turned to greet Wang Gang warmly.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for five years, but you are getting younger and younger. People who don't know think you are my younger brother."

Wang Gang put down his luggage, hugged Su Mingyu, and asked, "How did Mom get away? Didn't she just have a physical examination a few years ago?"

"Brother, let's get in the car first, and we'll talk on the way!" Su Mingyu said while pulling Wang Gang's luggage.

"All right!"

Wang Gang and Su Mingyu came to the airport parking lot, in front of an S-class city coupe.

"Brother, get in the car first, and I'll put your luggage." Su Mingyu said.

Wang Gang nodded, opened the co-pilot's door and got in.

Su Mingyu quickly got into the car, started the car and headed towards Su City, explaining the cause of Zhao Meilan's death by the way.

Only then did Wang Gang know that Zhao Meilan died of a traffic accident instead of illness, and her death had something to do with Wang Gang.

Ever since Wang Gang started sending money home, the life of the Su family has gradually improved. They not only bought Su Mingyu's house back, but also bought a car for transportation.

Zhao Meilan died in this car.

Before the accident, Zhao Meilan played mahjong all night at a friend's house, and drove home just after dawn. As a result, she had a car accident due to fatigue driving, and the car drove directly into a ditch.

Because it was early in the morning and there were not many vehicles passing by, no one noticed the accident.

Zhao Meilan was injured at the time, but she was still a little conscious, so she didn't call the police, but called Su Daqiang instead.

When Su Daqiang came to the scene of the car accident, he didn't call the police in a daze. Instead, he dragged Zhao Meilan up, and then hailed a taxi to go to the hospital.

When the person arrived at the hospital, he lost a lot of blood. When Su Mingyu arrived, Zhao Meilan had already died.

When Wang Gang learned what had happened, he also lamented that it was a trick of good fortune. If he hadn't sent money to his family, Zhao Meilan couldn't afford the car, and the car accident wouldn't have happened.

"Everything is life. If I had known, I would not have sent money home." Wang Gang sighed.

"Brother, don't blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. If mom hadn't played mahjong all night, if she had called the police immediately, it wouldn't have happened." Su Mingyu comforted Wang Gang.

"Death is the most important thing. I know you and Mom have conflicts, but don't say that." Wang Gang said.

Su Mingyu didn't speak, and the car became quiet again. A few minutes later, Su Mingyu changed the topic and said:
"Brother, Dad is at Su Mingcheng's place now, should you go to see Dad or Mom first?"

"Go see Mom first." Wang Gang said without hesitation.

Su Mingyu nodded and said hello.

"I have taken care of the funeral company and the cemetery. Now there are procedures for the funeral, and the funeral company will take care of it. We can just attend the funeral." Su Mingyu said while driving.

"Okay, you put the money first, and I will transfer it to you later." Wang Gang said.

"No need, I'll pay all the money! It's my last sympathy for Mom." Su Mingyu said.

"Mom has three children, how can you let them all out, how about this! Let's discuss it with Mingcheng later, and the three of us will share it equally."

Su Mingyu sneered and said, "Su Mingcheng may not be able to come up with the money."

Wang Gang frowned, and suddenly remembered that in the TV series, Su Mingcheng and Su Mingyu quarreled at the funeral.

"Mingyu, during mom's funeral, you and Mingcheng don't fight any more. We'll talk about it after the funeral." Wang Gang reminded.

"I know, as long as Su Mingcheng doesn't come to provoke me, I will definitely not cause trouble."
