Chapter 120 What Kind of Behavior Is This?

Jiang Ranxing paused for a moment, then looked at Fu Xingyi's small figure.

She noticed that Fu Xingyi didn't seem to find anything amiss on his face.

Fu Xingyi was still clinging to Lin Xuesha, seeming very dependent on her.

She said nothing and did not answer Lin Xuesha.

Lin Xuesha was still not giving up when she didn't get a reply from Jiang Ranxing. She even touched Fu Xingyi's hair, like a mother who loves her child very much.

Then Lin Xuesha said, "Yiyi, quickly apologize to Mommy. Mommy seems angry. Yiyi, you can't make Mommy unhappy, okay?"

Fu Xingyi pouted, seemingly a little unconvinced, but he had no choice but to listen to Lin Xuesha.

So Fu Xingyi looked at Jiang Ranxing and said in a low voice, feeling wronged, "Mom, can't I even call Aunt Xue Sha like this? Why are you so petty, Mom?"

Fu Xingyi's eyes darted around twice before he said, "I want to call Xue Sha Auntie Mommy, Mommy, please say yes?"

Seeing Fu Xingyi's pleading expression, Jiang Ranxing felt a sense of helplessness.

Fu Xingyi likes Lin Xuesha so much that it's obvious he wants to recognize her as his mother.

She might have felt resentful before, thinking that her son, whom she had risked her life to give birth to, was being recognized as someone else's mother.

But now Jiang Ranxing thinks differently.

It's true that Fu Xingyi was born to her, but she couldn't actually control Fu Xingyi's thoughts and actions.

Since the child doesn't want to be close to her, his biological mother, why should she do something wishful thinking?

Besides, she really doesn't want to give unilaterally now, nor does she want to get entangled with someone who doesn't love her.

Let Fu Xingyi do whatever he wants. She can't control him, and Fu Xingyi doesn't want her to control him, nor does he want to control him anymore.

Jiang Ranxing was thinking to herself that if she could quickly move towards divorce after talking with Grandpa Fu today.

She found time to talk to Fu Xingyi and told him that his parents were getting a divorce and that she would also give up custody of him.

There's nothing to hesitate about regarding custody; it was decided a long time ago, and it's time to move forward.

Fu Xingyi will eventually have to face the consequences of their broken marriage.

She doesn't want anything anymore; she's going to let go of everything.

Just as Jiang Ranxing opened his mouth to answer Fu Xingyi, he heard a stern and steady old man's voice.

"Such words at such a young age! What kind of behavior is this!"

Jiang Ranxing turned around and saw Old Master Fu walking down from the upstairs rest room, leaning on his cane, his face filled with anger.

Jiang Ranxing stood up and bowed his head to Grandpa Fu to show his respect.

Fu Shenyuan and Lin Xuesha, who were opposite, also saw Old Master Fu and stood up to wait for him to come down.

Fu Xingyi jumped off the sofa, clutching her little hands helplessly, her face full of grievance after being yelled at.

Old Master Fu slowly strolled over and, with the help of the old butler, sat down on the main sofa, exuding a very dignified aura.

Then his gaze fell on the small figure standing in front of him.

Fu Xingyi was immediately frightened. He had never seen his great-grandfather so fierce before. He grabbed Fu Shenyuan's trouser leg in fear and whispered for help like a mosquito: "Dad..."

Grandpa Fu slammed his cane down, the sound echoing against the polished marble floor, displaying an undeniable air of authority.

"Your biological mother is right here, yet you call someone else 'Mom' in front of her. What kind of behavior is that!"

Old Master Fu's tone was far from calm. He looked at Fu Shenyuan and asked in a deep voice, "Is this how you usually educate your son? Don't you have any manners or etiquette? Is this how I used to teach you?"

Fu Shenyuan dared not say anything, especially under the solemn and powerful aura of Old Master Fu, he was unable to utter a word.

Fu Shenyuan could only lower his head and say, "Yes, I will teach him again when I get back."

Grandpa Fu snorted heavily in dissatisfaction.

Grandpa Fu waved his cane twice, signaling Fu Xingyi to come over.

Fu Xingyi was still a little scared at this moment, but he still slowly walked over.

"Great-grandfather." Fu Xingyi lowered his head, his eyes filled with tears, not daring to look up at his great-grandfather who was usually so kind and gentle to him.

Grandpa Fu shifted his position slightly, making room for Fu Xingyi on the sofa so he could sit down.

Although Grandpa Fu was dissatisfied, he still loved the child.

However, they cannot lack proper education; for families like theirs, it is even more than that of other families.

Grandpa Fu was speaking to Fu Xingyi.

"Remember, Jiang Ranxing is your mother, and that will never change. You must remember that and not act recklessly, understand?"

Fu Xingyi nodded, looking aggrieved.

Grandpa Fu said, "Alright, you can all sit down first."

Grandpa Fu glanced at Fu Shenyuan, then at Jiang Ranxing across from him, and nodded to Jiang Ranxing: "Jiang girl, have a seat."

Then Old Master Fu looked away, completely ignoring Lin Xuesha.

Lin Xuesha felt a little awkward, but she had no choice but to sit down with Fu Shenyuan and move closer to him so that they would look like a couple.

Old Master Fu coughed twice, then said seriously, "What brings you here today? Speak."

Seeing that this was a good opportunity, Lin Xuesha smiled and moved forward a couple of times, her tone sweet and flattering.

"Grandpa, we heard you haven't been feeling well lately, so Shen Yuan and I brought Xingyi to visit you. We brought some tonics with us, but we didn't know if you still wanted them..."

"Miss Lin—"

Grandpa Fu interrupted Lin Xuesha, preventing her from continuing her enthusiastic speech.

Old Master Fu said solemnly, "I am asking about Shen Yuan and Ran Xing. This is a matter for our Fu family. Miss Lin is an outsider, so it is inappropriate for you to speak."

"Ah..." Lin Xuesha was speechless, her face turning red and white as she didn't know what to do.

This old man really doesn't give her any face.

She'll become a member of the Fu family sooner or later, so why make things so difficult for her?

Lin Xuesha was secretly dissatisfied.

It was only after Fu Shenyuan patted her hand that she relaxed a little.

Old Master Fu could tell what was going on just by looking at Fu Shenyuan, but the dignity of a wealthy family couldn't be allowed to be disrupted like this, especially not by an extramarital affair.

"Shen Yuan, watch your behavior now that you're in this position. Ran Xing is here too, so don't go too far."

Fu Shenyuan paused, slowly withdrew his hand, and answered, "Yes."

Old Master Fu was highly respected and his word was law in the Fu family.

Fu Shenyuan dared not refute.

Grandpa Fu turned to Jiang Ranxing, who responded with a polite smile: "Grandpa, how have you been lately?"

Jiang Ranxing gestured to the housekeeper to bring the gift over for Old Master Fu to see.

"Grandpa, these are all Chinese medicinal herbs that nourish your body. They are gentle and suitable for your constitution, so they won't cause you to feel hot. It would be best to have your private doctor take them over to cook some medicinal dishes, which won't be too bitter."

Grandpa Fu nodded in satisfaction: "Jiang girl is thoughtful; she even knows to care about my health."

"Grandpa, you're too kind."

Jiang Ranxing smiled slightly, her demeanor dignified and elegant.

Old Master Fu glanced at the medicinal herbs that Fu Shenyuan and Lin Xuesha had brought, his tone somewhat displeased.

“Shen Yuan, you don’t understand my body as well as Ran Xing does. The tonics you brought are either too hot or too cold for this old man. I can’t eat them at all. Yours are not like the ones Ran Xing brought. The ones Ran Xing brought are all suitable for me.”

A hint of sadness and sorrow appeared in Old Master Fu's eyes.

"Burning Star really cares about people."

Whether someone truly cares or not doesn't depend on how much money they spend.

Grandpa Fu couldn't help but think back to the past, when Jiang Ranxing would often come to the old house to take care of him, a lonely old man.

Although the Fu family is already extremely wealthy, in the end, people don't live just for cold, hard money.

He lived alone as an old man. Although he was served, no one truly cared for him, and he felt quite lonely.

Fortunately, Jiang Ranxing would come over every now and then. Although they had hardly communicated before, he had seen everything Jiang Ranxing had done.

In his eyes, Jiang Ranxing was a worthy and respectable granddaughter-in-law who was a good match for Shen Yuan. She was also of good character and had always loved Fu Shen Yuan.

It's just a pity that things have come to this. After hearing Old Master Fu's words, Fu Shenyuan was even more speechless.

Fu Shenyuan looked up at Jiang Ranxing.

However, Jiang Ranxing didn't see him at that moment.

Jiang Ranxing never gave him a proper look or said a word to him from beginning to end.

Jiang Ranxing has changed so much.

He was unable to adapt for a while.

Fu Shenyuan clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking from the force.

Around noon, Grandpa Fu instructed the kitchen to prepare lunch for several people. Jiang Ranxing listened without saying anything.

She didn't plan to stay in the old house for dinner; after things were over, she would take her teacher out to find a restaurant.

In short, it's best to minimize contact with the Fu family.

Grandpa Fu chatted with them for a while longer, then said, "I know why you've come. I'm in good health; these old bones of mine can still hold on. Don't worry."

Grandpa Fu got up to go for a stroll in the garden, and Jiang Ranxing stood up as well.

"Grandpa, wait a minute, I have something I want to tell you."

Fu Shenyuan looked at Jiang Ranxing, and his heart trembled.

He always felt that something bad was about to happen.

Jiang Ranxing's attitude caused him to feel a rare moment of panic.

A voice inside him told him that he should stop Jiang Ranxing.
