Frustrated, she could only nod frantically, tears streaming down her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong grinned silently—fate truly was strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally planned to make a trip across the sea when he had time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what it took, he needed to find Third Grandpa and fulfill his grandfather’s wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never imagined it would happen so coincidentally—how could it be this coincidental? Their business partnership had simply collided with this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My grandfather’s name is Zhou Chengwu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother!” Zhou Qianyi finally found her voice, flinging her arms around Zhou Andong and burying her face on his shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Women are emotional, and because her grandfather was old, she didn’t want him to pass away with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So over these past few years in the mainland, she had searched every year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even paid media outlets and placed missing-person notices, but still got no trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last month, the main station aired a new program called Cross-Strait, and she was preparing to seek help from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the thing she never dreamed could happen had just happened to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her business partner turned out to be the relative she had searched for with all her strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All those years of worry over her grandfather’s health, all her pent-up grievances, exploded in this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong had been fine until Zhou Qianyi started crying—it made his own heart ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qianyi clinging to Zhou Andong and crying drew attention from those around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Andong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s that woman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you know Zhou Qianyi? The heiress of Jinwan Group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, how did these two end up together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murmurs spread; some with dirty minds wondered if Zhou Andong had gotten the girl pregnant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?” Wu Hongkang saw a crowd gathering by the entrance, tugged Zhang Shenghui, “Let’s go take a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were bored, and hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Anlei, who had been wandering aimlessly, also ran over at the sight of a spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they saw a beautiful girl clinging to Zhou Andong, sobbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Jian Qiu stood to the side, her eyes also red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Anlei muttered a curse—Dongzi, you’ve been sneaking around outside and didn’t even wipe your mouth clean? And you’re doing it right in front of Jian Qiu? You don’t want to live anymore?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Hongkang and Zhang Shenghui were stunned—what the hell was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Andong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sihé finally spotted Zhou Andong, but didn’t know what was happening—who was the woman crying in his arms?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qianyi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old grandfather was equally confused—why was his granddaughter crying like this, and why was she clinging to Zhou Andong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandpa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qianyi’s face was streaked with tears, and she shamelessly wiped it with her sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I found Second Grandpa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man froze, then snapped his head up to stare at Zhou Andong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou… Zhou…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice trembled as he gripped Zhou Andong’s shoulder, repeating “Zhou” over and over, unable to utter another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Xian… no, Zhou Andong is my cousin brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man had already guessed—he tightened his grip on Zhou Andong’s shoulder, lips trembling, tears streaming down his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third Grandpa, don’t get too excited.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong hurried to comfort him—after all, the old man was elderly; they had just found each other, and the two grandfathers hadn’t even met yet—he couldn’t afford any mishaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong helped the old man sit down: “My grandfather is in excellent health. He knew you went across the sea, so he told me to find you. I’ve just been too busy and haven’t had time to go yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong knew what the old man cared about most, then gave a detailed account of his family’s situation, especially the health of his grandparents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man said nothing during the entire time; only after Zhou Andong finished did he smile happily, refusing to let go of Zhou Andong’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, good, as long as everyone’s alive, that’s all that matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Zhou Qianyi curiously asked: “Brother, how did you recognize him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong smiled: “Your sister-in-law recognized him. After our meeting, she told me Third Grandpa looks just like my grandfather—especially the eyes, as if carved from the same mold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did those around understand: the old man was Zhou Andong’s long-lost blood relative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just too coincidental—two parties negotiating a business deal, then discovering they were family. This kind of fate was beyond description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong slapped his forehead and waved to Zhou Anlei, who was still standing there dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Anlei hurried over, bowed deeply to the old man, and spoke formally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third Grandpa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just heard the whole story—he never knew he had a third grandfather, and one who was so impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong said: “This is my uncle’s second son—he’s three months older than me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qianyi hugged Zhou Anlei: “Second Brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Anlei had never experienced this—he stiffened, his normally quick tongue now useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the type who didn’t fear anyone or anything, but he was terrified of Zhou Andong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, he’d sometimes even dared to challenge Zhou Andong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he dared not even breathe wrong—just facing Zhou Andong made his heart tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qianyi burst out laughing—she hadn’t expected Zhou Anlei to be so shy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong checked the time: “Third Grandpa, let’s find a quiet place to talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!” The old man felt invigorated, “To my room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Zhou Anlei leaned close to Zhou Andong’s ear and whispered something, then pointed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong turned and saw him, then smiled, walking over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sihé saw Zhou Andong approaching and wanted to run, but thought that would be too humiliating, so he forced a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dong… Dongge, I saw Erlei just now and knew you were here too, but I searched everywhere and couldn’t find you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kid wanted to be tough and call him Dongzi, but his mouth wouldn’t obey—he still called him Dongge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t expect to meet you here. Looks like you’ve done well.” Zhou Andong clapped him warmly on the shoulder: “The conference lasts three days. I’m busy today—I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes yes yes!” Zhang Sihé was only too happy for Zhou Andong to leave, “Go ahead, take care.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong nodded and turned back: “Let’s go, Third Grandpa.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he helped the old man walk toward the entrance, he kept feeling someone watching him from behind—but when he turned to look, no one was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is just ridiculous.” Zhou Andong muttered a curse.\u003C\u002Fp>",1193,"2026-06-20T01:18:52.456Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3546dc969f0c61a3d06801051a9229bd5155ce4d0b9918fc04024b73b856ca90","my-restarted-life-1992-chapter-983","my-restarted-life-1992-chapter-981",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-restarted-life-1992-cover.jpg"]
