After he left, Fu Xiao lay beside Fu Jingshu's pillow and looked at her, "Mom..."

"My brother was here just now, so I didn't dare mention my dad. He missed you so much that he was going crazy. If it weren't for me needing him, he would have gone to find you a long time ago. I was afraid before that when he felt that I didn't need him, would he really go to find you without hesitation?"

"Mom, you are really important to us," Fu Xiao said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you for being alive..."

"It's really hard for me to be satisfied. I didn't have any relatives before, and now that I have relatives, I miss you. Now that you are finally back, I know you are thinking about us, right?"

"Mom, please wait a little longer. I know you miss him. I'll call Dad over after a while."

The door closed gently.

The wind lingered outside the half-open window.

The moonlight is clear.

There are whispers on the other side of the wall.

Fu Shaoyu listened to the soft sobbing coming from next door and clenched his hands quietly.

Shen Xingzhou let out a soft sigh of pity, suddenly sat up from the bed, leaned against the headboard, and reached for the cigarette box.

Fu Shaoyu also sat up and stretched out his hand to him.

In the air filled with smoke, he blew out a smoke ring, listening to the whispers next door, he frowned and looked at Shen Xingzhou, “Have you spoiled her?”

"Why does she cry so much..."

Shen Xingzhou chuckled: "She didn't like to cry before..."

"She has gotten better in the past few years...she has the emotions of a normal little girl. Before...she lacked a sense of security."

He looked at Fu Shaoyu thoughtfully, "I am more defensive than you."

"At that time, she had nothing in her eyes except her family. She looked at everything indifferently and was so steady that she didn't look like a teenage girl."

Fu Shaoyu was silent for a long time.

After finishing one cigarette, he lit up another. When he handed the cigarette box to Shen Xingzhou this time, he didn't take it. He waved his hand and said, "Xiaoxiao doesn't like me smoking. One is enough..."

Fu Shaoyu raised an eyebrow and looked at him through the smoke. "Since I found out that she had a boyfriend, I started to check. To be honest, I don't like you very much..."

Shen Xingzhou smiled and nodded, “Well, I saw it on the battlefield.”

The way he looked at himself was the same as when Mu Lianshen looked at him at that time, full of disgust.

"It's not for any other reason, but because you are too cold-tempered and you are a businessman. I have a rough idea of your business in Gangcheng, which is not small..."

Shen Xingzhou's eyes deepened and he looked up at him.

Fu Shaoyu's eyes were dazed for a moment, "Businessmen pursue profits. How many clean men in this circle can there be..."

He looked at him seriously, "How about you, are you clean?"

Shen Xingzhou knew what he was referring to, and nodded with a smile, “I’m very clean…”

Fu Shaoyu sneered: "When your business grows to a certain extent in the future, with so many beautiful women around, will you still be able to protect yourself?"

Shen Xingzhou raised the corner of his lips, with a hint of joking, “Brother, how do you know so much about it? Have you seen it?”

"I'm not like you,"

"What's the difference?"

Fu Shaoyu narrowed his eyes at him, "Boy, I'm not kidding you..."

Shen Xingzhou suppressed his smile and sighed, "I won't, I have mysophobia and can't touch dirty things..."

He looked at Fu Shaoyu and asked, "Who did you ask to learn about my business in Hong Kong City?"

"Uncle Pang..."

Shen Xingzhou was not surprised at all. He sighed, "Brother, I don't know how you and Pang Siyuan met, but you'd better trust him only three-tenths of what he says and does..."

"He knew that Xiaoxiao's medical skills were extraordinary, but he didn't tell you...you..."

Fu Shaoyu pondered for a few seconds, "He is a good friend of Xie Shibo. He helped a lot with the money my mother spent on maintaining her life for so many years when I was unable to do so... Besides, doesn't he have a history with the Fu family?"

Shen Xingzhou explained aloud: “My third uncle once said that the old friendship is also the friendship of the older generation. Pang Siyuan is a person with his own thoughts. When dealing with him, he never let me trust him completely.”

"Besides," he looked at Fu Shaoyu, "he seems to have a grudge against dad..."

Fu Shaoyu paused and the expression in his eyes changed.

It seemed like hatred, like resentment, and finally a mocking laugh.

Shen Xingzhou sighed inwardly, it seemed that he was really blaming Mu Lianshen.

...

The next morning.

Fu Xiao fed Fu Jingshu the best pill and started giving her acupuncture.

During the fifteen minutes in between, she lay beside her pillow and chattered with her, "Mom, good morning. I'm giving you an acupuncture now. It doesn't hurt at all. You've been lying down for too long, and your tendons and veins have lost their vitality. I'll hold you in a medicinal bath in the evening..."

"You will gradually become healthier and healthier, and one day you will wake up..." When the time came, she removed the needle, "Mom, you go back to sleep, I'll go wake up my brother..."

Fu Xiao put the glass cover back on her.

Coming to the next door, he knocked on the door without any courtesy, "Wake up, Fu Shaoyu, Shen Xingzhou, get up quickly..."

Fu Shaoyu opened his eyes on the bed, "Her emotions are so changeable..."

Shen Xingzhou had already put on his pants, and he looked at him with a half-smile, “You’d better get up, she doesn’t have much patience,”

As she was talking, the door was slammed open. She was immediately unhappy to see Fu Shaoyu still lying on the bed. She walked over and was about to lift his quilt, "The sun is shining on your butt, and you are still sleeping. Why are you so lazy..."

Fu Shaoyu protected his quilt, "Ancestor, I'm not wearing pants..."

Fu Xiao rubbed the tip of his nose and coughed lightly: "Too lazy..."
