Chapter 577 How did the relationship get better after the divorce?

Qiao Yunxue vaguely remembered that Fu Shanzhan had said before that Fu Xijing had someone he had liked for several years, but his confession failed. Qiao Yunxue found it quite strange at the time, as Fu Xijing did not seem like the type who would actively pursue someone.

Now when she heard Fu Qingyun say that he went to clean up someone's mess, Qiao Yunxue was even more surprised. What about an illegitimate daughter? She couldn't help but imagine a bloody drama in her mind.

While Qiao Yunxue was imagining this, Fu Qingyun and Ji Qingyuan had already seen her. Fu Qingyun's originally angry expression softened a little, "Here I am."

Qiao Yunxue nodded, "I'll come and see Qiao Qiao."

Ji Qingyuan: "Why didn't you go in?"

Qiao Yunxue: "Qiao Qiao fell asleep, I'll come out and sit for a while."

Ji Qingyuan grabbed Qiao Yunxue's arm and said, "Stay for lunch. Let's go home and sit down. It's too hot in the yard."

Ji Qingyuan was very enthusiastic. Qiao Yunxue nodded obediently and let her take her arm and walk into the house.

When they came in, Fu Shanzhan was the only one in the living room.

Fu Qingyun looked around and asked, "Where's your brother?"

Fu Shanzhan: "I went upstairs to put something away."

Fu Qingyun glanced towards the stairs and snorted coldly, looking obviously unhappy.

"Alright, he finally came back, stop arguing. We're all adults, he knows when to act." Ji Qingyuan looked at Fu Qingyun and said a few words to him, "Can you really take care of him forever?"

"He has no sense of propriety." Fu Qingyun rubbed his temples. "If I don't stop him, he'll really raise someone else's child."

Ji Qingyuan: "If he really wants to keep it, it's useless for you to stop him. Why make yourself angry?"

"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?" Fu Shanzhan was confused by the content of their argument. "Who will my brother raise his child for?"

Fu Qingyun: "Who else could it be?"

Fu Shanzhan: "...Xu Rushuang has a child?"

This news was truly shocking. It seemed like it hadn't been long since Xu Rushuang rejected Fu Xijing, so how could she have a child so soon? I hadn't heard of her dating before.

"Adopted." Ji Qingyuan said, "She's only a month old, not as old as Qiao Qiao, and she's also a girl."

Fu Shanzhan: "Why would she adopt a child if she has nothing to do?"

Ji Qingyuan: "The child of the Daiyun organization was returned. She couldn't bear it and took the child away."

Fu Shanzhan nodded. This was Xu Rushuang's style. "My brother went to Seattle for this, right?"

Ji Qingyuan: "The child is not in good health and has not been discharged from the hospital yet. She can only ask Xijing for help."

Fu Qingyun: "It's because he's useless, so I just beckoned him over."

Fu Shanzhan: "You don't have to say such harsh words. My brother would do this even if he was helping a friend. She's such a young child, she asked, I can't just ignore her."

"I can control it this time, but can I control it for the rest of my life? Will he get married or have children in the future? Who would want him if he is so entangled?" Fu Qingyun strongly disapproved of this behavior.

Fu Shanzhan wanted to debate with Fu Qingyun, but Qiao Yunxue beside him pulled his sleeve. He subconsciously turned around and met Qiao Yunxue's eyes. He understood what she meant, and then silently closed his mouth.

Qiao Yunxue was quite embarrassed. She wanted to leave, but she had already agreed to stay for lunch, so she had no choice but to wait.

She is now an outsider to the Fu family, and it is not appropriate for her to listen to these things here. Fu Qingyun must be very angry with Fu Xijing, so he talked about these things in front of her.

After a few minutes of silence in the living room, Fu Xijing went downstairs.

As soon as Fu Qingyun saw him, he started to ask in a sarcastic tone: "Are you still free to come back?"

Fu Xijing: "My niece's hundred-day celebration is coming up, so even if I don't have time, I have to make time to come back."

Fu Qingyun chuckled, "I see you're quite free and can stay in Seattle for ten days."

Fu Xijing: "You are really well-informed."

Fu Qingyun: "That's not true. People say Xu Rushuang gave birth to a daughter for you."

Fu Xijing: "You don't even care about this kind of rumor, do you?"

Fu Qingyun: "For Xu Rushuang, are you going to give up your reputation?"

Fu Xijing: "Reputation is worthless."

Fu Qingyun: "I don't care about you because you liked her before, but if you clean up her mess again in the future, I will no longer have you as my son."

Fu Xijing remained silent.

Fu Qingyun: "Tomorrow you will go on a blind date for me, the daughter of the Xu family in Jiangcheng—"

"I have a girlfriend." Fu Xijing interrupted the spell.

Fu Qingyun didn't take his words seriously at all, "You're nothing!"

Fu Xijing shrugged, "Believe it or not."

Not only did Fu Qingyun not believe this, Fu Shanzhan also didn't believe it. He felt that it was just a rhetoric to save face. He watched the show for a while, then said to Qiao Yunxue with his head down: "My brother is just stubborn and refuses to admit that he is a failure. Unlike me."

Qiao Yunxue was amused by his last three words, "What do you mean by not like you?"

Fu Shanzhan: "I'm useless."

Qiao Yunxue: "Don't say that about yourself."

She knew why Fu Shanzhan said that, and it might be true, but she didn't want to hear him belittle himself.

"It's just a joke." Fu Shanzhan smiled, "Don't feel pressured, I was just kidding."

Qiao Yunxue nodded, but her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and her heart tightened slightly.

…

Qiao Yunxue stayed at the Fu family for lunch at noon. Ji Qingyuan was there to adjust the atmosphere. At the dinner table, Fu Qingyun did not talk about serious topics anymore. The content of the conversation basically revolved around Qiao Qiao's hundred-day banquet.

After divorcing Fu Shanzhan, Qiao Yunxue no longer felt as much pressure getting along with Fu Qingyun as before. With her status different, she no longer had to rack her brains to be a daughter-in-law that met Fu Qingyun's requirements. After unloading the burden, when she talked to Fu Qingyun again, Qiao Yunxue felt that he was a good elder, who just put on a bit of airs. But given his status, it was normal for him to act like this.

Although Fu Qingyun is strong, he will not really force his juniors to do things they don't want to do. His words may not sound nice, but his logic is correct.

Qiao Yunxue gradually understood that he had many things that were beyond his control in that position.

After lunch, Qiao Qiao woke up and was carried down to the living room by her aunt.

Qiao Yunxue and Fu Shanzhan took turns holding the child and playing with him for a while. The picture of the two of them sitting together did not look like a divorced couple at all.

Qiao Yunxue had to go back in the afternoon to get the part-time job information, so she had to leave after not staying for long.

When Fu Shanzhan heard that she was leaving, he handed the child to the aunt and said, "I'll take you out."

Qiao Yunxue did not refuse, and the two of them went out one after another.

Fu Xijing looked at the two figures in the yard through the French windows in the living room, then turned to look at Ji Qingyuan and Fu Qingyun: "How come their relationship has improved since their divorce?"

In other words, they get along more harmoniously.

Fu Xijing never denied that they had a good relationship, but he had also witnessed the power of their quarrels, which were mostly life-and-death struggles that could easily explode.

After the divorce, we stopped arguing, as if we had suddenly grown up.
