134 The plot begins

2018, Stanford University, Third Lecture Hall.

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

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

When Wang Gang saw Wu Fei sweating profusely, he knew something must have happened, so he said to the students:

"That's it for today's class. You will write a paper about the history of the development of the Internet. It will be due next Wednesday and will be counted as the total score for the semester."

As soon as Wang Gang finished speaking, the students began to cry 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 more about the principles of cloud computing?" A student raised his hand and asked.

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

"get out of class is over."

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

"Mingzhe, why is your phone turned off?"

"I usually turn off my mobile phone in class." Wang Gang said in confusion: "If there is anything urgent, please come to the school to see me."

Wu Fei said anxiously: "Something happened to your mother and your father couldn't find you, so he called me."

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

Wu Fei was hesitant to speak, but finally said: "Something happened to Mom."

Wang Gang frowned. At this time, his phone happened to be turned on, and a series of messages popped up.

Ring ring ring.

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

"Hey, dad, what's wrong with mom?" Wang Gang asked anxiously.

"Mingzhe." Su Daqiang cried on the phone and said to Wang Gang intermittently: "Your mother is gone."

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

Su Daqiang could only cry on the phone and couldn't say a few words.

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

As a result, Su Mingcheng didn't know what happened, so co-author Su Daqiang made the 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 return to China, what will happen here at the school? You are now a tutor in the department, so you can't just leave." Wu Fei said worriedly.

After Wang Gang obtained his doctorate, he did not go to work in a large factory, but chose to stay in school and teach.

In the past few years, he has published several papers on network cloud computing, which has made him famous. His status in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford has also been greatly improved, and he was just promoted to professor.

"If my mother really leaves, I will return to China to see her off for the last time no matter what." Wang Gang said firmly:

"If you are busy with work, don't go back to China. Stay in the United States to take care of Xiaomi."

Wu Fei gave birth to a daughter, Xiaomi, to Wang Gang. She 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 for leave from the department leader.

After all, the school is not a company, so you are relatively free to ask for leave. Wang Gang's department has also arranged for other people to take over his classes.

Wu Fei was worried that it would be dangerous for him to drive, 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.

In the past few years, Wang Gang has had a heart attack like Zhao Meilan's in the TV series and died suddenly. He has been reminding her to have regular physical examinations and take medicine on time.

Wang Gang still remits US$1,500 every month, which is used as pension money for his parents.

It stands to reason that Zhao Meilan takes her medicine on time and is not short of money. She should not leave before she is sixty. Could it be that there was an accident?

When Wang just got on the plane, he called Su Mingyu and learned that she was on a business trip and not in Su City. She had not answered the calls from Su Daqiang and Su Mingcheng.

"What the hell is Su Mingcheng doing? Such a big thing happened to my mother and she didn't even notify me." Su Mingyu began to complain on the phone.

"Mingyu, my plane is about to take off and the phone must be turned off. You rush back to Su City as soon as possible to find out 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 will not be confused about this life-threatening matter. If Su City cannot be cured, I will take my mother to the Magic City and the capital." Su Mingyu said immediately.

Wang Gang hung up the phone with relief and turned off the phone.

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

"Brother, I'm at the Shanghai 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 was peaceful when she left. She didn't suffer much."

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

As expected, Su Mingyu was waiting at the exit.

We hadn't seen each other for several years. Su Mingyu was more mature than Wang Gang remembered. She was wearing a cashmere coat and a black armband on her arm.

When Wang Gang walked out, he saw Su Mingyu talking on the phone, seemingly arranging work matters.

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

Wang Gang did not disturb Su Mingyu. Everyone had left, so there was no point in rushing now.

After a few minutes, 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 brother."

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

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Brother, let's get in the car first and talk about it on the way!" Su Mingyu took Wang Gang's luggage and said.

"All right!"

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

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

Wang Gang nodded, opened the passenger door and got in.

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

Only then did Wang Gang realize that Zhao Meilan did not die from illness, but from a traffic accident, and that her death had something to do with Wang Gang.

Since Wang Gang started sending money home, the Su family's life gradually improved. Not only did they buy back Su Mingyu's original room, they 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, no one noticed the accident.

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

When Su Daqiang arrived at the scene of the car accident, he was confused and did not call the police. Instead, he dragged Zhao Meilan up and hailed a taxi to go to the hospital.

She suffered from excessive blood loss when she arrived at the hospital. By the time Su Mingyu arrived, Zhao Meilan had already died.

When Wang Gang learned what happened, he also lamented that fate had played a trick on him. If he had not remitted money to his family, Zhao Meilan would not be able to buy a car, and this car accident would not have happened.

"Everything is fate. If I had known it, I wouldn't 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, or if she called the police immediately, this wouldn't be the case." 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 said nothing, and the car became quiet again. After a few minutes, Su Mingyu changed the subject and said:

"Brother, dad is at Su Mingcheng's place now. Would you like to see dad first or mom?"

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

Su Mingyu nodded and said okay.

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

"Okay, you advance the money first, and I'll transfer it to you later," Wang Gang said.

"No need, I'll pay for all the money! It's my last bit of love for mom," Su Mingyu said.

"Mom has three children. How can I let you pay for them all? Let's do this! Let's discuss it with Mingcheng later and the three of us will share equally."

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

Wang Gang frowned and suddenly remembered the quarrel between Su Mingcheng and Su Mingyu at the funeral in the TV series.

"Mingyu, during mom's funeral, you and Mingcheng should stop arguing. If you have any questions, we can talk about it after the funeral." Wang Gang reminded.

"I know that as long as Su Mingcheng doesn't mess with me, I will definitely not cause trouble."
