Chapter 265 Thank you for being by my side

When we returned to the Fu family's old house, there were many cars parked outside the villa, and the villa was brightly lit inside.

"Young Master Sun is back! Young Master Sun is back!"

A servant spoke to the old steward, who quickly came over.

"Young Master Sun, you're finally back! Please come in!" The old butler, unlike his usual self, looked flustered.

When the old housekeeper saw Jiang Ranxing and Fu Xingyi arrive, he greeted them one by one.

Jiang Ranxing said, "Go ahead and get busy, we're fine."

The old butler quickly returned to Fu Shenyuan's side.

"What happened?" Fu Shenyuan asked. "How is Grandpa's health?"

As soon as I entered the old house, all eyes turned to me. Everyone on the first floor was a member of the Fu family, who had come after hearing that Old Master Fu had suddenly fallen seriously ill.

People came over to greet him, whether sincerely or not, but Fu Shenyuan had no interest in paying attention. He hurriedly headed towards the room where Old Master Fu was.

The old butler followed behind him and said, "The master was in good health during the day. After breakfast, he even went to the garden to trim the flowers and plants. In the afternoon, the master suddenly said that his heart was not feeling well. Unexpectedly, at dinner time, the master suddenly clutched his heart and said it hurt. Not long after, he fainted. I quickly called the doctor over. After examining him, he said that the situation was urgent, so I immediately called the medical team. The medical team is treating the master now."

Standing before the heavy, carved wooden door, Fu Shenyuan's eyes already showed signs of panic.

Has the doctor come out?

The old butler shook his head: "It's been a long time, and he hasn't come out yet."

Fu Shenyuan's unease intensified, because he understood that the longer the treatment lasted, the more complicated the situation would become. Fortunately, he was certain of one thing: his grandfather was still alive, which was his only comfort.

The Fu family mansion had never been so noisy and chaotic. Many people came, but very few truly cared about the old man's health.

After leaving the main hall on the first floor of the old house, the group began to talk about other topics, and some even started to curry favor with others.

Jiang Ranxing sat down with Fu Xingyi on the side. Amidst the mess, she looked towards the location of Old Master Fu's room and couldn't help but feel worried for him.

Fu Xingyi seemed to sense something was amiss, and asked with wide, bewildered eyes and timidity.

"Mom, what happened to Great-Grandpa? Is he going to die?"

Jiang Ranxing shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"I don't want anything to happen to Great-Grandpa, Mom, what should I do?" Fu Xingyi said helplessly to her.

Jiang Ranxing, unusually, held the anxious child in her arms to comfort her.

Fu Yuqin, who noticed them from a distance, walked over and brought them twice the amount of warm water.

"Sister-in-law, Yiyi, have some water. Don't worry too much. I believe Grandpa will be alright," Fu Yuqin said.

"Thank you," Jiang Ranxing said, his attitude towards Fu Yuqin remaining relatively calm.

"Sister-in-law, may I sit here and stay with you for a while?"

“Okay, have a seat,” Jiang Ranxing made room for her a little. “Don’t call me sister-in-law anymore, just call me Ranxing.”

Fu Yuqin felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't say anything directly.

"Burning Star, how are things between you and my brother now? Do you have any plans to remarry?" Fu Yuqin asked.

Jiang Ranxing replied, "I have no such plans."

"Oh... I'm sorry, did asking this question make you uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, it's nothing."

Jiang Ranxing was already used to these kinds of questions.

However, compared to Fu Yuqin's gentle and harmless nature, the other members of the Fu family were far more difficult to deal with.

"Oh, isn't this the famous designer Ember? What brings you to our Fu family? We don't need your help with our family matters."

"That's right. Today, it was all members of the Fu family who returned to the old house. Our designer Jiang has been divorced from Shen Yuan for so long, why would she come back? Besides, it wouldn't be right for someone who isn't a member of the Fu family to come back."

Jiang Ranxing didn't care much about these sarcastic remarks, but the child was still young, and she couldn't let the child hear these things.

"Find Yiyi a room to rest, and don't let anyone disturb him."

Fu Xingyi grabbed Jiang Ranxing's hand, unwilling to let go: "Mom, I want to stay by your side."

"Listen to me, go and rest first."

Jiang Ranxing's words were full of command, and no matter how unwilling Fu Xingyi was, he had no choice but to listen to his mother and follow a servant.

After watching Fu Xingyi walk away, Jiang Ranxing turned to look at the two people who had just provoked her.

"If I remember correctly, you are from a branch of the Fu family, right? So, Chairman Fu isn't from the same lineage. In that case, do you have the right to say these things to me? Although I've divorced Fu Shenyuan, I am still the biological mother of the next person in charge. In any case, I'm better than you branch families, aren't I?"

Jiang Ranxing didn't indulge these people at all, nor did she have any obligation to do so.

"How dare you speak to us like that, Jiang Ranxing! We all share the surname Fu! Whatever your surname is, why are you talking to us like that! You're someone Fu Shenyuan has already rejected, yet you're still swaggering around here!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking. What if we get into trouble?"

"What trouble could she possibly cause? Why would I be afraid of her? She's just a woman, what kind of storm can she stir up!"

Jiang Ranxing laughed immediately after hearing this, as if he had heard a joke.

Fu Yuqin stepped forward and said, "Shut up! I invited you here today to see my grandfather, not to argue with my sister-in-law. Let me tell you, no matter what, Jiang Ranxing is still my sister-in-law and a member of the Fu family. It's none of your business to interfere!"

Fu Yuqin came over and pulled Jiang Ranxing, saying, "Alright, Ranxing, don't bother with them, let's go."

"Thank you." Jiang Ranxing sincerely felt that Fu Yuqin was a decent person at heart, at least unlike those who were used to flattering the powerful and belittling the weak.

"Don't be so polite with me."

"Could the residents downstairs please make way?"

The sound from the stairs drew everyone's attention.

Several people in white coats were seen coming down the stairs. The elevator door opened with a ding, and Old Master Fu was wheeled out on a transfer bed. Fu Shenyuan followed him out with a heavy and worried expression.

Fu Shenyuan saw Jiang Ranxing, but before he could say anything, they exchanged a glance, and then Fu Shenyuan hurriedly left with the car.

Seeing this, everyone made way for the medical staff to take the bed and quickly push it onto the ambulance at the door.

The commotion left everyone speechless until the ambulance disappeared from the villa's sight. Then, a commotion broke out in the lobby, with confusion and speculation floating in the air.

Fu Yuqin also became worried, her beautiful face wrinkling up: "Ranxing, do you think something might happen to my grandfather?"

"No, the chairman is a lucky man and will always be blessed."

When Jiang Ranxing said this, it was just to comfort her, but she also felt that something was going to happen.

She supported Fu Yuqin's swaying body.

"Could you come with me to the hospital to get checked out, Ranxing?"

Fu Yuqin was so frightened that she could hardly stand. Jiang Ranxing couldn't bear to let her go to the hospital alone like this, fearing that while Grandpa Fu might be fine, something else might be going to happen.

Jiang Ranxing brought out a car from the old house and drove Fu Yuqin to the hospital himself.

In front of the emergency room of the high-end ward at an international hospital under the Fu Group.

As soon as Jiang Ranxing got off the elevator and turned the corner, she saw Fu Shenyuan pacing back and forth in front of the emergency room, one hand on his hip and the other on his forehead, like a cheetah that had lost its way. It was a kind of panic she had never seen in him before.

Looking at him, Jiang Ranxing could roughly guess just how critical Old Master Fu's situation was.

It turns out that no matter what one's status or position, everyone is at a loss when faced with the life or death of a loved one.

That's how emotions seem to be; invisible threads connect everyone.

Fu Yuqin rushed over anxiously: "Brother, how is Grandpa? Is he alright?"

When Fu Shenyuan saw her, he simply shook his head. Fu Yuqin immediately burst into tears, but dared not cry out loud. She could only clutch her skirt and lean to the side.

"Miss Yuqin, please don't worry too much. The doctors are doing their best to treat her," Tan Shen said, stepping forward to comfort her.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuqin couldn't hold back any longer and stood up, running towards the bathroom.

Jiang Ranxing stood at the far end of the corridor, looking at the people standing at the door, and his heart skipped a beat.

She wasn't completely unmoved when she saw the deep sorrow and helplessness on Fu Shenyuan's face.

She seemed to have experienced this pain of impending loss of a loved one at some point, but she couldn't recall exactly when, nor could she distinguish whether it was an illusion or reality.

At this moment, she just felt sorry for Fu Shenyuan; he might be about to lose the only family member in the world who was good to him.

With a short sigh, Jiang Ranxing slowly walked over and stood beside Fu Shenyuan. She said softly, "Grandpa will be alright, you will believe me, right?"

These words calmed the tyrant, who was still in a state of intense anxiety and turmoil. He felt as if he were instantly enveloped in warmth, and his tense emotions were relieved.

"Burning Star..."

Fu Shenyuan's eyes were still wet when he looked at her; those were tears brought on by physical sadness.

The fear and worry of a man who had never been afraid of anything were now fully revealed.

Jiang Ranxing still felt sorry for him, and she sighed again.

"Yes, I'm here."

Jiang Ranxing gave him a warm smile that was full of reassuring meaning.

In that instant, it was as if all the past love and hate between them had vanished, leaving only two individuals facing life and death.

Jiang Ranxing did not respond with harsh words, but remained very calm. She stood beside him, giving him confidence in the face of uncertainty.

Fu Shenyuan did not make any excessive contact. When they stood together, he seemed to find comfort in their eye contact and spoke silently, uttering only two words.

"Thanks."

Thank you for not abandoning me during this time.

I saw the pity in your eyes; it was the purest thing in the world.
