Chapter 90 The Number One, the Best Man in the World
Fu Chenzhou hired top surgical professors from the entire hospital and placed Fu Yansi in the best ward.
Fu Yansi developed a fever due to some external injuries and infections, coupled with excessive mental stress.
However, the hospital's treatment was top-notch. After the wound was treated and a tetanus shot and anti-inflammatory medication were administered, Fu Yansi's injury gradually subsided in the evening.
Throughout the entire process, Jiang Shiyuan stayed by the bedside without leaving for a moment, her eyes moist and her heart aching.
Fu Chenzhou stood with his arms crossed, his tall figure leaning against the doorframe, silently watching Jiang Shiyuan cover his son with a blanket, change his dressing, and feed him water...
Gentle and caring, treating her like her own child.
The man's cold and aloof eyes were dark as he stepped back and gently closed the door.
"Aunt Jiang... I'm so sorry... I've caused you so much trouble again..."
Fu Yansi's lips were dry and chapped, showing that the little guy was quite upset. "I've made your relationship with Uncle Xie even worse... I'm sorry... I won't do it again..."
"No, Banban, you did nothing wrong. If you encounter any trouble in the future and can't find your father, you must contact me immediately."
Jiang Shiyuan was afraid that the injection would irritate his blood vessels, so she rubbed her palms together to warm them and placed them on his wrist. "As for that Uncle Xie, don't worry about him. Aunt Jiang doesn't care what he thinks at all."
Fu Yansi blinked her clear eyes, "Aunt Jiang, you and Uncle Xie... are you divorced?"
Jiang Shiyuan froze for a moment, then hesitated before opening her mouth, "Not yet."
"Then... since you're not divorced yet, why did Uncle Xie act like he didn't recognize you when you were at school?"
Fu Yansun paused for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Is it... because of that Aunt Lin? I've noticed that she's always there whenever Uncle Xie is around."
"Banban, you're still young. You don't understand adult matters." Jiang Shiyuan was extremely embarrassed and could only offer this perfunctory reply.
"Aunt Jiang, I'm not little anymore, I'm five years old, and I know a lot."
Fu Yansi's doe-like eyes suddenly lit up, "Aunt Jiang, what do you think of... my father?"
Jiang Shiyuan frowned, both amused and exasperated, "Banban, don't tease your aunt."
"No, I'm asking you very seriously."
Mentioning Fu Chenzhou, Fu Yansi instantly transforms into a little salesman, determined to sell his lonely old father: "My dad is the best man I've ever met, the second best is Uncle Xing!"
But Uncle Xing is a bit quiet, so you two aren't really a good match. My dad would be a better fit for you. My dad is so funny; Uncle Xing says he sometimes laughs so hard he falls flat on his face listening to him talk. Aunt Jiang, you'll definitely be happier with my dad than with Uncle Xie.
At the very least, Dad is absolutely devoted to the person he loves and won't even glance at other women.
Seeing that the child's spirits had improved considerably, Jiang Shiyuan felt relieved and asked with a gentle smile:
"How can you be so sure your father is devoted to the person he likes?"
"He still keeps the toy car his mother gave him, and he wipes it carefully several times a day."
Jiang Shiyuan's beautiful eyes widened in realization, "It's the one I fixed for you before, right?"
"Mmm! I liked it the moment I saw it. I thought Dad would give it to me if I liked it, but..."
Fu Yansi blushed with embarrassment, "I... I was slapped in the face."
Jiang Shiyuan asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
"At first, Dad didn't want to give it to me. I had to beg and plead with him for a long time before he finally gave it to me. That shows how much he liked the gift Mom gave him!"
Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help but chuckle, "Then I love it."
She remembered her past self, how Tongtong wanted anything and she gave it to her.
Spoiling him into being willful, cold-hearted, and lacking empathy is a failure of her as a mother.
However, Banban was well-educated by his parents.
This clearly shows that Fu Chenzhou's wife is a very outstanding woman.
As a mother herself, she is far inferior to her.
"And also, Aunt Jiang, I'll tell you in a secret..."
Fu Yansi waved, and Jiang Shiyuan blinked her eyelashes, leaned over, and listened intently. "My dad still keeps the hair tie that my mom used to wear, wrapped around his left wrist. He can't even bear to take it off when he takes a bath."
Dad said that every time he sees this hair tie, he thinks of Mom. Don't you think Dad isn't faithful enough, or a good man?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan's throat tightened slightly, and a dull ache rose in her chest.
Before losing her second child, even during five years of cold marriage, she constantly longed for the day when Xie Jinghuai would show her favor, show her partiality, and be moved by her for a moment.
But in the end, all she got was a heart that had turned to ashes for him.
Jiang Shiyuan's current long, black hair, as smooth as silk, was actually grown out little by little after she got engaged to Xie Jinghuai.
She just wanted to be more feminine so that she could be a better match for Xie Jinghuai when they took their wedding photos.
Five years ago, after finally growing her hair long, she sat alone in the makeup room of a photo studio, waiting from dawn until dusk.
In the end, all that came was a cold phone call from Xie Jinghuai:
"Zhixin's old illness has flared up again, and I'm currently at the hospital with her for treatment, so I can't get away. Let's postpone the wedding photos."
"Banban, actually, Uncle Xie is also a devoted person." Jiang Shiyuan slowly raised her hand, gently stroking the boy's soft face, concealing the emotions in her eyes.
It's just that the person he loves isn't me.
...
Over here, at Guanlan Garden—
With a chilling rage, Xie Jinghuai grabbed Tongtong's little arm and, under the watchful eyes of the servants, almost savagely dragged his son upstairs.
"Waaaaah! Daddy! It hurts so much... Daddy!" Tongtong staggered and cried out.
The man, however, remained silent, his handsome face grim.
Tongtong was terrified; her face turned deathly pale!
He knew that the more silent his father was, the angrier he was!
"Aunt Xinxin! Help me... help me!"
"Brother Jinghuai! Calm down! The child is still young, don't hurt him!"
Lin Zhixin chased after him closely, her throat burning with anxiety. "Besides, Tongtong is the young master of the Xie family after all. Even if you want to discipline him, you should do it away from the servants. You need to consider his dignity and self-respect!"
"Decent? Dignity?"
Xie Jinghuai paused abruptly, his eyes filled with hostility, which made Lin Zhixin's heart clench. "When he was causing trouble at school, did he ever think about the fact that he was the young master of the Xie family?"
Did he ever consider that his words and actions represented the Xie family, or that he wanted to save face for me, his father?!
Lin Zhixin was so flustered that she dared not speak. She could only lower her head and follow the father and son to the children's room like a maid.
With a swift movement of his long arm, Xie Jinghuai sent Tongtong crashing heavily onto the bed. Although it didn't hurt, the impact left him dizzy, lightheaded, and nauseous.
"Waaaaah... Daddy..."
Xie Jinghuai looked down at him, his phoenix eyes fierce. "I'll count to three, and you'd better hold it in. One—"
Tongtong was so frightened that she immediately stopped talking and held her breath, her face turning red as tears streamed down her face silently.
"Now, apart from your aunt, there is no one else present. I will ask you one last time, and you must answer truthfully."
Xie Jinghuai approached, and in his enormous shadow, Tongtong appeared small and pitiful. "Did you hit Fu Yansi or not? Think it through before you speak!"
