Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 20: Administering Heavy Medicine

Cen Zhengnian's phone call?

He rarely makes calls, and the original owner doesn't call him much either. Cen Zhengnian is busy, and the original owner thinks phone calls are expensive.

The two of them met through a standard blind date in this era, and both sets of parents are anxious.

As Cen Zhengnian gets older, he has always been obsessed with scientific research. His parents are afraid that he will spend his whole life doing scientific research.

The parents of the original owner wanted to climb the big tree of the Cen family, so they got  them engaged and married very quickly. They only met each other a couple of times before getting married.

After the wedding, Cen Zhengnian stayed at home for three days and then hurriedly left for the northwest.

Later, when An'an was one year old, he came back once, but after that, he never had time to return.

The two of them have no emotional connection, and there's no time to cultivate it. The original owner doesn't care that Cen Zhengnian hasn't come back since he sends money. She only cares about her natal family.

At this time, most people who are on blind dates live like this. As they live their lives, they become family.

Of course, Chu Xia has no feelings for Cen Zhengnian. How could she have feelings for a man she has never met before?

The definition of Chu Xia for Cen Zhengnian is very clear: the breadwinner of the family.

So Chu Xia was a little surprised when Cen Zhengnian called.

She took Cen Huai'an to the corner store of the family residential complex and called Cen Zhengnian back.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Comrade Luo?"

A very serious male voice came from the other side of the phone, like a trained soldier.

It wasn't Cen Zhengnian; he wouldn't have been waiting by the phone all the time. After all, he was so busy with work.

"Yes, I am."

The man on the other side immediately said, "Mr. Cen is busy; please wait; I'll go get him.

"Okay."

Chu Xia hung up the phone but didn't wait long when the phone rang again. She answered.

"Chu Xia?"

The male voice opposite was very pleasant, magnetic, and gentle, like the soft plucking of a guqin or like the collision of jade. There was a slight gasping sound, indicating that he ran over very quickly.

"It's me." Chu Xia rubbed her ears. "Why are you calling?"

Cen Zhengnian, on the other side, was stunned for a moment. He felt that Chu Xia on the phone was a little colder than the one in the letter, but he didn't think much about it.

"Beef, mutton, and fruits from Ganzhou cannot be stored for a long time, and they will spoil if sent home, so I sent beef jerky and dried fruit; is that okay?" 

After Cen Zhengnian finished speaking, he felt a bit guilty.

It was rare for his wife to say what she and An'an wanted to eat, but he couldn't satisfy them.

Even though he had met his wife on a blind date, once they were married, he felt a sense of responsibility toward the family. He knew that he was an inadequate husband and father, so he provided all he could materialistically.

Chu Xia felt the guilt in Cen Zhengnian's tone. It turned out that he himself knew that he was sorry for his family, but he just chose the country in front of everyone.
