On the day of their sixth wedding anniversary, Jiang Ranxing waited for Fu Shenyuan until the restaurant closed.
Upon returning home, she found Fu Shenyuan embracing his first love and their ...
Chapter 107 Teacher Zhou Wants to Help Her Discuss Divorce
"What are you talking about that prevents you from getting a divorce?" Zhou Yinxiu asked.
She hadn't asked Jiang Ranxing about this for a long time and was unaware of this unexpected turn of events.
Jiang Ranxing remembered this and spoke to Zhou Yinxiu about it.
“Our divorce still needs his grandfather’s approval, otherwise his grandfather will not agree to our divorce.”
“But we have already made an agreement. His grandfather is worried that if I leave the Fu family like this, it will tarnish the Fu family’s reputation and also affect my own reputation. So as long as my career improves, his grandfather will make us divorce.”
Zhou Yinxiu nodded: "I see. I did know that his old man was quite cunning when he was young, and many of his methods were not exactly honorable. But so many years have passed, and he no longer needs to use so many methods. I didn't expect him to still be the same in his old age."
Jiang Ranxing said regretfully, "Teacher, it's all my fault. I was too young before. I only thought that marrying Fu Shenyuan was enough because I loved him. I didn't consider that marriage actually includes so many things. It's not just about love and affection, but also about many worldly ties. Marriage is not a simple thing at all."
It's just that she didn't understand before and had too many unrealistic fantasies about love.
Only after she experienced a real marriage did she understand many of the things involved.
A marriage, if handled well, can lead to happiness.
If things don't go well, someone like her will be covered in wounds, both mentally and physically, and it will be unbearable.
Zhou Yinxiu gently comforted Jiang Ranxing and served her a bowl of water chestnut soup.
"Xiaoxing, don't talk about yourself like that. Who can guarantee they won't make any wrong decisions in their life, especially when they're young? As long as you're willing to wake up, it's never too late. Stop blaming yourself, okay?"
Jiang Ranxing felt a warmth in her heart, slowly nodded, took the bowl of water chestnut soup, and savored it slowly.
"There's one more thing... Teacher, I think I should tell you."
Jiang Ranxing paused slightly, his eyes flashing with a faint, fleeting light.
"I've remembered my past with Fu Shenyuan."
Zhou Yinxiu paused, her hand still holding the food, and then said in shock, "Xiaoxing...you, you remember everything?"
Jiang Ranxing nodded. Those memories, when she hit her head and lost consciousness, appeared one after another like a slideshow. She was quite certain that they were her own past.
Jiang Ranxing couldn't explain why either. Perhaps Jiang Huanchen's blow was too heavy, causing a hole to be smashed in a closed memory window in her brain.
Absurd and coincidental memories all came flooding back.
Zhou Yinxiu sighed softly: "I thought you wouldn't remember anymore."
Jiang Ranxing understood the implication in her words, so she asked, "Teacher, did you know about what happened between us all along? You don't seem curious at all."
Zhou Yinxiu nodded and said, "This is a long story, but I do know that it was you who saved Fu Shenyuan back then, not Lin Xuesha."
"But why didn't you choose to tell me?"
Jiang Ranxing didn't understand Zhou Yinxiu's original intention. If it was for her sake, she should have told her about it.
Could there be some hidden reason behind Zhou Yinxiu's actions?
Zhou Yinxiu understood that Jiang Ranxing would definitely be curious about this matter, and she did not intend to hide it.
Zhou Yinxiu said, "One of the reasons was that Old Master Fu intervened. When the young master of the Fu family was rushed into the emergency room, Old Master Fu was furious. After Fu Shenyuan woke up, he found that the child had lost this memory. Old Master Fu ordered everyone not to mention the truth of the matter."
"I don't know how Lin Xuesha impersonated you after that, but in any case, things just continued to develop under the control of Old Master Fu."
"The reason I chose not to tell you is because I don't want you to get caught in a deeper vortex and continue to be obsessed with Fu Shenyuan. After all, even if you hadn't regained your memories back then, your feelings for Fu Shenyuan were enough to shake everything. If you knew that you were the one who saved Fu Shenyuan back then, you might be even more unable to let go of him. Therefore, I can't tell you anymore, for fear that you will become even more obsessed."
Zhou Yinxiu looked somewhat ashamed.
"Xiaoxing, will you blame me for not telling you this?"
Jiang Ranxing's eyes were watery, flickering repeatedly.
She put down her chopsticks, walked around the table to behind Zhou Yinxiu, and gently put her arms around Zhou Yinxiu's neck.
Jiang Ranxing rested his head on her shoulder.
"Teacher, I'm so sorry. Thank you for always thinking of me. From the past until now, it's all because Ranxing has been so immature. I should have..."
Jiang Ranxing was filled with regret at this moment.
“I should have listened to you from the beginning and not clung to someone who didn’t love me. It was my mistake, and now I realize how wrong I was.”
"If I had seen these things earlier, I might not have hurt you, teacher, and I wouldn't have made these wrong decisions."
At this moment, Jiang Ranxing truly felt regret and remorse.
Before she regained her memory, her feelings for Fu Shenyuan were an intuitive love, but that love was worn down to dust during their six-year marriage and eventually vanished with the wind.
After regaining her memories, her emotions became even more complex.
Perhaps if time could turn back, if she could go back to that stormy, rainy night by the sea many years ago, after she rescued Fu Shenyuan, she would choose not to pursue him anymore.
They were meant to walk different paths in life, never intersecting.
Zhou Yinxiu felt heartbroken upon hearing this: "Silly child, don't say that. You are like my daughter. No matter what you do, I will never blame you."
Zhou Yinxiu pulled Jiang Ranxing's hand and made her sit down next to her, then touched her thin cheek with her hand.
"It's not too late for you to realize this now. Your teacher is very happy to see your change. Don't be discouraged, okay, Xiaoxing? I will always be there to support and accompany you."
Jiang Ranxing nodded, her eyes filled with tears of silent gratitude.
Zhou Yinxiu hugged her, comforting her like a mother comforting a child who had done something wrong.
"It's good that you've realized your mistake and come back," Zhou Yinxiu comforted her.
Jiang Ranxing hugged Zhou Yinxiu back, silently saying "I'm sorry," and at the same time, he received a rare and warm feeling from this embrace.
After a long time, once Jiang Ranxing had calmed down, Zhou Yinxiu seemed to have thought of something and said something.
“You said the biggest obstacle to your divorce right now is Old Master Fu. I do have a way to let you talk to that old man.”
Jiang Ranxing asked in confusion, "What method are you talking about?"
Zhou Yinxiu didn't answer, but added a piece of fish to her plate and said, "You eat first, and I'll invite you to come with me this weekend. We'll go to the Fu family together."
Zhou Yinxiu did not tell Jiang Ranxing immediately, but simply told Jiang Ranxing to live a normal life and leave the rest to her.
Jiang Ranxing trusted his teacher, so he waited for the weekend to go to the Fu family's old house with Zhou Yinxiu.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Yinxiu that night, Jiang Ranxing went to the studio.
She thought everyone would be off work by this time, but to her surprise, the studio was still brightly lit.
When Jiang Ranxing walked in, everyone was startled.
Manager Shen walked over, adjusted his glasses, and said, "Ember, I heard from Mia that you joined Lingsu today. Congratulations! But why are you here so late?"
Jiang Ranxing smiled and said, "I've been thinking about everyone, so I came to see what you've been up to."
Manager Shen said, "We recently got a design project from an Italian company. They heard about Ember's comeback and went to great lengths to find us. I thought the returns would be good, so I took the job."
Jiang Ranxing nodded: "Okay, but don't overwork yourselves. Everyone should still maintain normal work and life."
Manager Shen: "Don't worry, we're all aware of this."
Jiang Ranxing certainly believed in these comrades who had fought side by side with him.
Manager Shen handed over the tablet computer, tapped it a couple of times, and a table appeared on the screen.
"This is the expected return of our project."
Jiang Ranxing lowered his eyes, then smiled: "The profits are indeed quite substantial."
This small project, which wasn't exactly high-level, actually got Manager Shen to sign a contract worth 20 million.
Manager Shen chuckled twice.
“Creating benefits for you is also creating benefits for all of us. Besides, you are Ember, and the name itself is valuable.”
Yes, Jiang Ranxing realized it in a daze.
It turns out that in the eyes of the world, she is a very expensive person, and there are far too many people in this world who want to climb up to her.
However, after spending so much time by Fu Shenyuan's side and being neglected by him for so long, she gradually began to doubt herself and became insecure.
