Chapter 134 Don't you want to divorce her?

The Fu family's old residence.

Tan Shen opened the car door for Fu Shenyuan, who got out, still holding the divorce agreement in his hand.

Tan Shen didn't dare to speak again; he knew that Fu Shenyuan was not in a good mood at the moment.

He even said that he must have been in a very bad mood, with a very low overall mood.

Fu Shenyuan remained silent the entire way there.

That was a sign of his displeasure or anger.

Under normal circumstances, Fu Shenyuan rarely gets emotional. There are very few things that can make this man sitting at the top of the table emotional.

The first time he saw President Fu behave like this, almost losing his composure, was because of his wife.

Tan Shen noticed through the rearview mirror that Fu Shenyuan's gaze frequently lingered on that folder—the folder his wife had given him.

Tan Shen didn't understand. He thought that President Fu probably didn't like his wife, otherwise he wouldn't have had Miss Lin by his side all the time.

But when his wife asked to sign the divorce papers, Mr. Fu did not sign them immediately.

Tan Shen had been by Fu Shenyuan's side for several years, and he could still discern some clues from Fu Shenyuan's words and actions.

Does this mean that Fu Shenyuan is no longer willing to divorce his wife?

That's why I refused to sign.

Normally, Fu Shenyuan demands high efficiency when signing any documents, never dragging his feet or hesitating; it's either yes or no.

He had never seen Fu Shenyuan hesitate or procrastinate before.

However, the wife seemed very determined to leave completely, and her whole demeanor was one of rejection of President Fu.

That makes sense. Anyone would have been driven to the brink of collapse and madness if treated like that by Fu Shenyuan.

My wife is strong enough, stronger than many people.

In Tan Shen's opinion, President Fu and his wife should separate; it was only a matter of time.

However, he certainly couldn't say it out loud; he could only think about it privately.

When the old butler saw Fu Shenyuan's car arrive, he came out of the old house to greet him and said respectfully, "Young Master Sun, you've arrived. Master has been waiting for you in the study for a long time."

Fu Shenyuan was slightly puzzled and turned to ask, "Did Grandpa know I was coming?"

"Yes." The old butler nodded and gestured for him to come in.

Fu Shenyuan suppressed his anger and followed the old butler into the old house, then to the door of the study.

The old butler opened the door for Fu Shenyuan, who walked into the study with a slightly somber expression.

Grandpa Fu was drinking tea and reading in his rocking chair when he looked up and saw Fu Shenyuan enter with a cold face. He put down his book and took off his reading glasses.

Fu Shenyuan walked to the rocking chair and remained silent.

"What's wrong? You came to me but didn't say anything. Do you expect this old man to guess?" Old Master Fu said, sitting up.

Then, Old Master Fu just glanced at the folder in Fu Shenyuan's hand, and combined with his expression, he knew what was going on.

"Ah, so it turns out that Ranxing has already formally spoken with you."

Grandpa Fu took a sip of tea and spoke casually.

Fu Shenyuan then spoke up, "Grandpa, you knew about her wanting a divorce a long time ago, when?"

"Well, that's been quite a while." Old Master Fu leaned back in his rocking chair, as if he were recalling something. "It's been about a month or two, but I can't quite remember the exact time."

Fu Shenyuan realized after seeing the old man's expression that he had been kept in the dark all along.

Jiang Ranxing had actually been planning this all along.

So much so that when his grandfather saw him, he wasn't surprised at all about the divorce.

It turns out she knew all along and had been keeping it from him.

"Grandpa, why didn't you tell me about this? I have the right to know."

Fu Shenyuan's voice was a little hoarse.

Old Master Fu glanced at Fu Shenyuan and said, "What do you want me to say to you? You already have that Miss Lin by your side. The person you've loved since childhood has returned, and you're finally together. Doesn't that mean you're tacitly agreeing to divorce Ranxing? Do you expect me to stop you from separating from that Miss Lin and just living a good life with Ranxing? Would you agree to that? Would you listen to me?"

Grandpa Fu shook his head: "If you could listen to me, you wouldn't have abandoned your bride and many guests at the wedding ceremony six years ago and gone abroad to stop someone else from getting married. Why didn't you think about why Lin Xuesha didn't choose to be with you back then!"

Grandpa Fu was so angry that he almost revealed the truth about his childhood.

Fu Shenyuan's expression grew increasingly somber.

Old Master Fu's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he observed Fu Shenyuan's reaction, and then he spoke again.

"Shen Yuan, so the reason you came to see me today is to say that you actually don't want to divorce Ran Xing?"

Fu Shenyuan was slightly taken aback by the question.

He and Jiang Ranxing...

It should be over between them.

But why is he actually resisting it deep down?

Old Master Fu ignored him and continued, "When Ranxing came to me, I did not agree to her divorce request out of consideration for the reputation of the Fu family. I simply gave her a choice that she could make herself."

Fu Shenyuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What choice?"

"You should know that too." Old Master Fu chuckled. "The reputation of the Fu family is very important to both of us. As for Ranxing wanting to leave the Fu family, it is of course on the premise that it will not bring negative impact to the Fu family."

"So when she first came to me, I didn't agree to her getting a divorce and leaving the Fu family like that."

“If a housewife files for divorce, people will laugh at the Fu family and also laugh at Ranxing for being incompetent.”

"So, you should know that Ranxing did a lot of things later. I heard that she recently went to work for that kid from the Ji family, so her future should be pretty good."

"So I agreed to Ranxing's request, and I will no longer stop her."

Grandpa Fu recounted the entire incident in one breath.

After hearing this, Fu Shenyuan was momentarily at a loss for how to react.

He didn't expect that Jiang Ranxing had secretly approached his grandfather two months ago, brought up the matter of divorce, and even reached some kind of agreement with his grandfather.

Everything happened without his knowledge.

Two months ago... Fu Shenyuan recalled, it should have been their wedding anniversary.

It turns out that Jiang Ranxing had already begun to draw a line between them from that time onwards.

He was completely unaware of this and even told Jiang Ranxing that his grandfather would definitely not agree to their divorce.

However, even though Jiang Ranxing already knew that she had reached an agreement with her grandfather, she didn't mention it to him at all.

For so long, in Jiang Ranxing's eyes, he was the joke.

Fu Shenyuan suddenly realized that he had never really taken Jiang Ranxing's talk of divorce seriously.

He just kept thinking that Jiang Ranxing was just throwing a tantrum and trying to get his attention, nothing more.

He thought that even if he didn't pay attention to Jiang Ranxing, she would never leave his side.

Jiang Ranxing's devotion to him has remained unwavering, from her teenage years to her current marriage and motherhood; she has always loved him passionately.

But when exactly did Jiang Ranxing start to change, gradually becoming indifferent to him, until now, with a cold and ignoring attitude?

Fu Shenyuan seems to have lost track of that specific time; it's too vague.

While drinking his tea, Old Master Fu kept a close eye on Fu Shenyuan's reaction.

Seeing that he had been stunned for a long time, Old Master Fu coughed lightly and called Fu Shenyuan back to his senses.

"Let me see the document you're holding," Old Master Fu asked. "Was it drafted by a lawyer at Ranxing's behest?"

Fu Shenyuan snapped out of his daze, nodded, and handed over the folder.

Grandpa Fu put his reading glasses back on, opened the folder, and began to look through it.

"Hmm, this Jiang girl is really stubborn. She said she would leave with nothing and that's it. This decisive and straightforward personality is very suitable for making a name for herself in the business world."

Grandpa Fu has always admired Jiang Ranxing.

Fu Shenyuan frowned again and said, "Grandpa, you also know that she doesn't want anything after the divorce."

His words were no longer questions, but affirmative statements.

It seems that Grandpa Fu and Jiang Ranxing have talked about many things over the past period of time.

However, he knew nothing about any of this.

"Hmm." Old Master Fu nodded and turned to the last page of the divorce agreement.

He naturally saw Jiang Ranxing's still-warm signature.

The signature looked very smooth, as if it had been written without any hesitation.

Grandpa Fu sighed, then looked at Fu Shenyuan's name, but it was still empty.

"Why haven't you signed? Haven't you made up your mind? Or do you have other ideas?" Old Master Fu took off his glasses and asked him in a steady voice.

Meanwhile, Old Master Fu kept observing Fu Shenyuan's expression, trying to figure out Fu Shenyuan's intentions.

The emotions he carried with him today were clearly different from usual.

An unprecedented sense of unease arose in Fu Shenyuan.

He was like a lion whose hind leg had been pierced by a sword, both agitated, in pain, and filled with anxiety.

All these changes stemmed from Jiang Ranxing and this divorce agreement.

Old Master Fu narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

Could it be that the issue involving Jiang Ranxing has also begun to stir Fu Shenyuan's emotions?
