Chapter 336 Love is Eternal (The Finale)
Early this morning, Jiang Shiyuan and Fu Chenzhou went to the hospital together to visit Su Xier.
As soon as they arrived at the ward door, the two of them froze in surprise—
There stood Shen Zhantang alone at the door, his handsome face pale and haggard, holding a bouquet of pure white roses in his arms.
Just then, two nurses walked by:
"That gentleman came over in the early hours of the morning and just stood there by the door. It was really heartbreaking to see him like that."
"That's because he's handsome. If it were someone ugly, I wonder if you'd still feel sorry for him."
Jiang Shiyuan and Fu Chenzhou looked at each other, then held hands and walked to Shen Zhantang.
"President Shen."
Shen Zhantang slowly turned his eyes and forced a smile, "Miss Jiang, President Fu."
Fu Chenzhou nodded slightly and asked gently, "Would you like to go in and see Miss Su?"
Shen Zhantang gazed through the glass window at Shen Min, who was feeding Su Xi'er porridge, and smiled bitterly and sadly.
"No need, she won't want to see me."
Jiang Shiyuan pursed her lips, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
There are indeed regrets between Xi'er and Shen Zhantang.
However, she couldn't convince herself to forgive the man who had repeatedly let Xi'er down.
Unforgivable.
“Miss Jiang, I have offended you in the past, and I sincerely apologize.”
Shen Zhantang bowed deeply to Jiang Shiyuan, then handed her the flowers in his hand, saying, "Please give these to Xi'er for me."
Don't tell them I was here; just say these flowers were a gift from you. Thank you.
Jiang Shiyuan accepted the rose, but before she could respond, the man turned and left, walking further and further away.
"Do you think it's a pity?" Fu Chenzhou put his arm around her waist and looked down at her.
"I have no idea."
Jiang Shiyuan looked at the roses in her arms and sighed, "All I want is for Xi'er to be safe and happy, that's all."
When the two entered the room, Shen Min was telling Su Xi'er jokes, making her laugh so hard she was doubled over, which aggravated her injuries.
Jiang Shiyuan placed the roses in the glass vase on the coffee table, her smile as gentle as a spring breeze.
"What funny things have you said? Tell us about them too."
Su Xier caught a glimpse of the white roses and her heart skipped a beat.
Immediately, she concealed the emotions in her eyes and laughed heartily and brightly, as radiant as a summer flower:
“Okay, let Brother Min tell you the story.”
...
In the afternoon, Jiang Shiyuan received a call from Aunt Feng, who said that her grandmother was about to have surgery and wanted to see her.
She could directly refuse any requests made by other members of the Xie family.
But her grandmother made it impossible for her to refuse.
"Want me to come with you?" Fu Chenzhou sat in the driver's seat and considerately helped her fasten her seatbelt.
"certainly."
Jiang Shiyuan raised her lips and lifted the man's chiseled chin with her slender fingertips. "You are my man, and I will take you with me wherever I go."
Fu Chenzhou, his breathing deep, kissed the corner of her lips:
"Then keep it with you for life, and never let go of my hand."
The two arrived at the hospital, to the VIP ward where the elderly lady was staying.
"Grandma, how are you feeling?"
The old lady gripped her hand tightly, her eyes welling with tears, and nodded gently.
"Grandma is fine, but... she's a little scared. She's afraid that if she has this surgery, she'll never wake up again."
Jiang Shiyuan's eyes reddened. "I won't allow you to say that! You'll definitely live to be a hundred!"
"Child, I heard about what happened a few days ago."
The old lady looked at him with heartache, "Good child...you've been wronged."
Jiang Shiyuan felt a lump in her throat and shook her head. "I have a grandmother who loves me and a lover who protects me. I'm not wronged."
"The lover you're talking about... is it President Fu?"
She didn't hide it, openly acknowledging her love, her beautiful eyes sparkling with happiness:
"It's President Fu. He's my boyfriend now."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then finally showed a relieved smile and nodded repeatedly:
"Great, it's good that someone cares about our Ah Yuan. Has President Fu arrived yet?"
"Yes, I'm waiting at the door."
"Alan, please invite the guest in."
Aunt Feng agreed and hurried to open the door to invite Fu Chenzhou.
"Hello, Madam Xie." Fu Chenzhou strode over to Jiang Shiyuan's side.
He bowed to the old man, looking impeccably dressed in a suit, exuding natural nobility, and displaying impeccable manners.
The old lady liked it very much and couldn't stop smiling.
“Great! This is the kind of man who deserves our A-Yuan. The more I look at you two, the more I feel that you are a match made in heaven.”
"Thank you for the compliment, Grandma." Fu Chenzhou placed his hands on Jiang Shiyuan's shoulders and gently pressed them.
“Just now, Jinghuai called me and said that he will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you tomorrow to complete the divorce proceedings.”
The old lady paused, her eyes dimming slightly, but more so filled with guilt. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have forced you so many times and wasted so many years of your life."
Ah-Yuan... I'm sorry.
Jiang Shiyuan smiled calmly, already at peace with the situation.
"Grandma, you're right. It's just that Mr. Xie and I aren't meant to be."
"Madam, it doesn't matter whether it's delayed or not."
Fu Chenzhou gazed intently at Jiang Shiyuan, speaking each word carefully, "I love Ayuan. I've long thought about spending my whole life waiting for her to even glance at me."
The two men chatted with the old lady for a while, but she was too weak to continue, so they took their leave.
Walking hand in hand down the corridor, Jiang Shiyuan leaned on Fu Chenzhou's shoulder, feeling a little tired but exceptionally at ease.
“Ah Yuan.”
Behind them came Xie Jinghuai's hoarse voice.
Jiang Shiyuan paused, her long eyelashes trembled, and she tightly hugged Fu Chenzhou's arm.
"Some things, some feelings, need to be brought to a perfect end."
Fu Chenzhou whispered in her ear, "Go, I'll wait for you here."
Jiang Shiyuan drew courage and strength from his unwavering gaze. She slowly released him, turned around, and walked unhurriedly to Xie Jinghuai.
Before the man could speak, she preemptively declared:
"Thank you for finally agreeing to divorce me and for finally letting me go."
A seemingly simple sentence, yet incredibly powerful.
For Xie Jinghuai, it felt like being pierced by a thousand arrows.
His tall frame swayed, the metallic taste of blood returning to his throat. He forced down the blood in his mouth and asked in a broken voice:
"You saved me back then."
“You already know.” Jiang Shiyuan was not surprised, nor did she show any emotion.
It's too late, a full six years too late.
The tumultuous sea of love and hate, the passions and infatuations, have long since returned to dust, to ashes, and can no longer be stirred by any waves.
"Why...why didn't you tell me?" Xie Jinghuai asked painfully.
"Because back then, I wanted to marry you because I loved you. What I wanted was pure love, not your gratitude or pity, and I certainly didn't want to take advantage of your kindness."
As she spoke, Jiang Shiyuan laughed heartily, "Besides, doing good deeds shouldn't be done anonymously. It's just a small favor, nothing to mention."
She has truly let go.
But he could never let go of it in his entire life.
"Mr. Xie, is there anything else? My wife is waiting for me," Jiang Shiyuan urged, wanting to end the conversation.
It wasn't that she had lost patience; rather, she had nothing left to say to him.
Xie Jinghuai felt as if his heart was being burned by a raging fire; every part of his internal organs was in pain.
Time is running out for them.
This feeling is more painful than despair.
"Ah Yuan, do you... still have me in your heart?"
Xie Jinghuai uncontrollably shed a tear, without even realizing it himself, "Even if... just a tiny bit."
Jiang Shiyuan looked at him calmly, gently shook her head, and spoke in a gentle voice, devoid of love or hate:
"But I once loved you very much."
There is a kind of killing that destroys the spirit—
It is to gain something, and then lose it completely.
And it tells you that you were once so close to happiness.
Jiang Shiyuan stopped looking at him, turned around, and ran towards Fu Chenzhou with urgent yet light steps.
She is heading towards the happiness that truly belongs to her.
“Sinking Boat.” She smiled, as sweet as a piece of candy.
Fu Chenzhou said in a deep voice, "I'm here."
Do you know why my mother named the company 'Eternity'?
"I know."
Fu Chenzhou took her hand, their fingers intertwined, and kissed the back of her hand. "Because love is eternal."
