Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Tao's father's funeral was very grand. After the crowd dispersed, Tao Jun took out a pile of bills and found Tao Yan to ask for an equal share of the funeral expenses. If it was the poor Tao Yan before, she would refuse and argue. Now she no longer argues for money. She spends money to buy peace and quiet. Family affection has faded at her age.

Tao Yan continued to be a tool-like daughter and an invisible mother-in-law until Xin Ran gave birth to a daughter.

The arrival of the newborn made Tao Yan focus all her energy on her granddaughter. The baby's innocent smile slowly dispelled the haze in Tao Yan's heart.

Zhou Leng accompanied Tao Yan to see off Tao's father, and less than two years later, he accompanied Liu Changli to see off his grandparents. Suddenly, his life began to be filled with frequent deaths.

As the older generation dies off one after another, as the middle-aged grow older, and as the children grow up, time just passes by.

***

Tao Yan, who is over 60 years old, sat on the sofa, and next to her was Hu Lin, who was also much older. They stared at the CCTV news channel on TV.

"Grandma, Grandpa Hu, Grandpa, please relax a little. Dad will be out soon. Eat some fruit first."

Liu Yuanyuan brought some fruit and put it on the coffee table. She sat down next to Tao Yan and patted the old woman's back gently, trying to make her relax.

Xin Ran was wearing comfortable home clothes. She came out of the kitchen holding a plate of dried fruits. She had lived a smooth life over the years, with a loving couple, a harmonious family, and a sensible daughter. The traces of time left on her were all mixed with tenderness.

"Mom, you have to keep your blood pressure under control. If it doesn't work, call a doctor."

Tao Yan patted her chest, trying to calm herself down. She said:

"I know. My son has never given me any worries since he was a child. He is the one who takes care of me. I am so lucky, so lucky."

"Yes, you have the best luck. Your son is really successful now. He has brought honor to the family! Not everyone can give birth to such a son." Liu Changli echoed and said to Tao Yan in a flattering manner.

Liu Changli's third marriage was a failure. Because his income was not high, his wife left him in less than two years. Since then, he has been taking care of his elderly parents and has not found his ideal partner.

When people reach old age, many things from their youth become stories in their memories. Even though Tao Yan hated her ex-husband very much, he was Liu Zimo's biological father after all. Now that he is old, Liu Changli also moved to the same community in order to make it easier to take care of him and to cause less trouble for his son.

A year ago, when Zhou Leng strayed from the holographic projection while researching the space launch system and made a breakthrough, Tao Yan, Hu Lin, Xin Ran and their daughter Liu Yuanyuan were taken to the residence prepared by the Ministry of State Security. Tao Yan and her family lived in the core area, and the outer area was the family building of the troops. Liu Changli was arranged in the family building.

After hearing what Liu Changli said, Tao Yan snorted coldly: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

Liu Changli is now afraid of Tao Yan. Hearing the familiar cold snort, he turned his head and stared at the TV without saying a word. Even his breathing became cautious.

The host's calm voice came from the TV: "Next, let's connect with the reporter."

"Hello everyone... Next I will interview Mr. Liu Zimo, the chief engineer of this project. Hello, Mr. Liu."

"Hello."

The familiar face on TV calmed Tao Yan down. She stared at the face on TV closely. The face seemed to be changing, getting younger, and then turning into the childish face of her son in her memory. Finally, all the faces overlapped to form the current middle-aged face. The calm and mature face and half of the white hair were the proof of her son's hard work over the years.

The reporter asked with a smile: "Chief Engineer Liu, you know that the outside world is paying close attention to this live broadcast, and there are many speculations about the technology to be demonstrated this time. Now the eyes of the world are focused here. Chief Engineer Liu, are you going to give an answer today?"

"I can give the answer, but I need to answer it myself!"

This answer surprised the reporter and the audience in front of the TV. Everyone thought it was a broadcast accident. At this moment, there seemed to be a sound not far away, and a door appeared out of thin air. After the door opened, Zhou Leng slowly approached the reporter.

When two identical people appear on TV at the same time, when they look at each other with questioning and confused eyes, the world seems to be quiet.

"Chief Engineer Liu!" the reporter couldn't help but say.

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Leng beside the reporter suddenly disappeared, and Zhou Leng, who was approaching from afar, stretched out his hand and said: "This is the technology demonstrated today, holographic imaging."

The reporter only felt the light and shadow beside her constantly changing, and then she found herself still in the lobby on the first floor of the research institute. From the moment she stepped into the lobby of the research institute, she had entered the world of holographic image projection. Everything she had experienced was illusory, and she had only returned to reality at this moment, but she did not notice it.

While the reporter was shocked, she did not forget her duty. She showed the holographic projection equipment to the world through the camera.

Holography has always been just a concept. When reporters showed the holographic cabin, the world was shocked.

Liu Yuanyuan pinched her face hard and murmured:

"Is this a dream? Dad did a great job keeping our secret! How could my dad give birth to such an ordinary daughter like me? Oh my God, my dad is really a god." She turned her head and looked at Xin Ran with admiration and said, "Mom, you are amazing. You easily defeated such a powerful dad. Such precious hands even washed dishes and cooked for you. What a sin."

Xin Ran looked at her daughter's funny appearance. She looked at the man on TV and thought to herself that she was really lucky. A single initiative brought her a lifetime of happiness.

Jin Cheng looked at his most proud disciple on TV, and then looked at Chen Hao and Jin Ling beside him. It was fine if these two were not as good as Zimo, but they were married but did not have children. He rolled his eyes at them and said to his old wife beside him:

"Xiao Liu, I was the one who discovered it. If it weren't for me..."

The policeman who once handled the virus case is now talking to his colleagues about the past deeds of the genius boy, now Chief Engineer Liu.

Everyone who was familiar with Zhou Leng was now telling the people around them about their interactions.

Public opinion was completely ignited, and orders for the holographic cabin had been booked for a year later. Zhou Leng, the man who attracted worldwide attention, opened the door of his home with the pink holographic cabin he had customized for his daughter.

The living room on the first floor was full of people, including Xin Ran's parents and close relatives, Tao Jun's family who hadn't been in contact for a long time, Jin Cheng's family, Jin Ling and Chen Hao, and Ling Bing's family.

Among so many people, Zhou Leng called Ling Bing's father first. He said humbly:

"Mr. Ling, it should be my turn to visit you."

"Teacher Jin, Master's Wife."

Ling Bing pushed her father in a wheelchair. She was obsessed with giving birth to a genius so that he could inherit her father's legacy. Unfortunately, it was not easy to give birth to a genius. Seeing Zhou Leng's attitude at this moment, she knew that her father had not made a mistake in choosing him. No matter what, Liu Zimo was her daughter's brother, so he could barely be considered a family member.

The reason why Zhou Leng was able to get to where he is today so quickly and not be constrained by the complicated human relationships within the system is all because of the cultivation of Mr. Ling. The two of them are both teachers and friends. Zhou Leng has great admiration and gratitude for this founder of aerospace.

The scene became lively. Zhou Leng greeted everyone one by one, and finally everyone gathered together to study the holographic cabin he brought back.

Zhou Leng pushed Ling Lao and Jin Cheng to the study to talk.
