Chapter 51 False Guilt
Jikang Hospital.
Fu Jingcheng is still young and was woken up early by Ruan Liuzheng early this morning, so after talking to Zeng Shuwan for a while, he began to yawn.
Zeng Shuwan felt heartbroken when she saw his tired eyes.
He quickly asked the nanny to carry the person to the next room to rest.
The nanny came with her from the Xie family. Now that she is older, she likes to have a few familiar people around to take care of her.
Even in the hospital, it was still the same.
Fortunately, the hospital was invested by the Xie family, and no one criticized or blocked it.
Moreover, the entire top floor is specially set up for the Xie family. In addition to the wards, there are naturally special rooms for other people to rest.
Reluctantly watching the nanny holding Fu Jingcheng leave her arms, Zeng Shuwan turned her head to look at Xie Qingcen who was sitting on the sofa. Even though she was nearly 70 years old, her eyes were still as bright as before, unlike the cloudy and snobbish eyes of other old people.
This is all thanks to my father's favor, but of course it is also inseparable from the nourishment of money and a happy life.
Zeng Shuwan probably didn't experience any major changes or separations in her life, except for the incident with Xie Qingshu.
Perhaps the only mark that the years have left on her body are the fine lines at the corners of her eyes and the increasingly gray hair on top of her head.
As for the rest, if Zeng Shuwan hadn't said anything, people would probably think that she had just reached the age of fifty when they saw her for the first time.
It’s nothing, it’s just that it’s been well maintained.
Xie Qingcen met Zeng Shuwan's unfriendly eyes, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Why, Ms. Zeng, are you not satisfied with the gift I brought?"
"Stop talking so smoothly. Tell me honestly, whose child is Cheng Cheng? Is he your illegitimate child who was left behind?"
Zeng Shuwan snorted lightly, gave Xie Qingcen a displeased look, and asked in a low voice.
The smile on Xie Qingcen's lips froze, and his smoky eyes looked at Zeng Shuwan with an indescribable look, his thin lips slightly pursed.
After a long while, he chuckled twice, raised his eyebrows and said, "Not yet, but maybe in the future."
Zeng Shuwan looked at Xie Qingcen suspiciously, her brows tightly furrowed.
Her son has been steady and sensible since he was young, and his IQ is inherited from the Xie family. Otherwise, the old man would not have given him the position of the head of the Xie family so early, allowing him to become the president of Hanfei Group at such a young age.
Zeng Shuwan was undoubtedly confident in him.
But when did her son ever say such specious remarks? There must be something fishy going on.
Zeng Shuwan's heart sank, and she made up her mind to get some information out of Xie Qingcen.
However, Xie Qingcen did not give her another chance.
Xie Qingcen raised his inky eyes slightly and looked at Zeng Shuwan lying on the bed, his eyes dark and deep, "Ms. Zeng, don't you have anything to say to me today?"
Hearing this, Zeng Shuwan, who was about to ask a question, paused, as if she remembered something. Her eyes flashed, and finally she sighed helplessly.
She looked at Xie Qingcen, "Didn't you know everything a few days ago? What else do I need to say? I don't have any big requests of you. I just hope that if you meet those two children again in the future, you will help them more for... my sake."
Qi Chong naturally told her what happened in the mall that day, including how Xie Qingcen learned about Fu Zhiqing's identity.
Zeng Shuwan was naturally concerned about the bloodline left by her eldest daughter.
Even though she had hated her eldest daughter's behavior in the past, that hatred had long since dissipated with time. Especially when she learned of the accidental death of her eldest daughter, the last bit of hatred in Zeng Shuwan's heart completely dissipated.
All that remains is the longing for my eldest daughter and the concern for the two children she left behind.
Even if it's tiny, it exists.
But Zeng Shuwan knew the rules of the Xie family. Moreover, the eldest daughter had done such a heinous thing that the Xie family would never forgive her. As the head of the family, her husband could not break the family rules and bring the two children back to the Xie family to raise them.
Therefore, Zeng Shuwan could only suppress her concern and longing for them deep in her heart, thinking that if she could meet them one day, she would help as much as she could.
That was all she could do for them.
Zeng Shuwan lowered her eyes slightly, raised her hand to suppress the moisture in the corners of her eyes, then looked at Xie Qingcen, quietly waiting for Xie Qingcen's answer.
Her youngest son inherited his old man's temperament and character, and was very hard-hearted. She had no confidence at all whether she could get his nod.
Xie Qingcen looked at Zeng Shuwan, who was nervous, and suddenly smiled faintly. The corners of his lips slightly lifted, and his smoky eyes were deep and cold. He opened his mouth and said, "Since you are so worried, why don't I take you to see them? After all, they are my nephews. They have been back for so long, and as their uncle, I should also pay attention to them."
Zeng Shuwan opened her eyes wide in disbelief, then knitted her brows tightly together with a suspicious look in her eyes, "Can you be so kind? Are you planning something again?"
Xie Qingcen smiled slightly and raised his lips without answering.
…
Q University, first time seeing a coffee shop.
It has been almost ten minutes since he came in. The coffee in front of Ruan Liuzheng is almost gone, and Fu Yanci has not yet revealed his purpose.
Instead, he talked about all sorts of things, reminiscing about his student days.
Ruan Liuzheng was fed up with what she heard. There was a hint of chill in her clear eyes, and her lips were tightly pursed into a straight line.
Finally, when Fu Yanci spoke again, she couldn't help but interrupt him, her beautiful eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and her voice was slightly cold.
"Fu Yanci, I don't have time to listen to you talk about those worthless memories. Just speak your mind, my time is very precious."
Ruan Liuzheng leaned back lazily, her brows indifferent, her cold eyes staring quietly at Fu Yanci, with undisguised boredom in her eyes.
Fu Yanci's eyes paused, he raised his eyes and looked at Ruan Liuzheng, the nostalgic look between his brows gradually faded away.
Her thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
After a long moment, he took a deep breath, his low voice carrying a hint of guilt.
"Liu Zheng, I know you asked me for a divorce a few days ago just to get my attention, but what I said today was serious."
Fu Yanci paused for a moment, then reached out and took out a document and handed it to Ruan Liuzheng. His dark eyes looked at Ruan Liuzheng steadily, his eyes full of guilt and apology.
"Huanqing has a heart disease. Her family has a history of hereditary diseases. I just found out yesterday that it wasn't entirely because of you that she went abroad. Another reason was that she wanted to receive treatment abroad."
"Although she doesn't show it on her face, Huanqing's health is indeed not good. She doesn't want to leave any regrets in her life, and her only wish is to marry me, so..."
Fu Yanci pursed his lips and looked at Ruan Liuzheng, the rest of the meaning was self-evident.
Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyes and glanced at Fu Yanci indifferently, then she opened the document, thinking it would be the divorce agreement that Fu Yanci had already signed.
After all, what he meant just now was very clear.
Ruan Liuzheng felt somewhat relieved in her heart, at least she didn't have to fight the divorce lawsuit.
There is no need to delay the divorce any longer.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly uncontrollably, however, when her eyes fell on the document and she saw the contents clearly, the smile on her lips froze instantly.
A strong feeling of nausea suddenly surged in my heart.
Ruan Liuzheng took a deep breath, resisted the urge to vomit, raised her eyes and looked at Fu Yanci, the temperature in her eyes dropped to freezing point.
She spoke, her voice cold and filled with anger, "So what! Fu Yanci, the faces of your Fu family really refresh my cognition every time. You want both."
"Oh, how dare you! I tell you, every time I, Ruan Liuzheng, mentioned a divorce, I was serious about it. It was never to attract your attention! Fu Yanci, your self-righteousness is really disgusting!"
Ruan Liuzheng slammed the document on the table with a 'bang' and glanced at Fu Yanci with disdain in her cold eyes, her brows full of contempt.
Fu Yanci was still feeling guilty about the divorce, but when he heard Ruan Liuzheng's undisguised disgust, his long-suppressed anger suddenly flared up.
He snorted coldly, and the false guilt in his eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant.
He looked at Ruan Liuzheng with his chin raised, looking superior.
"Ruan Liuzheng, don't be ungrateful. I know you can't leave me, so I specially prepared this agreement for you. Even if I divorce you and marry Huanqing, you can stay with me so that you won't suffer from lovesickness."
"As long as you sign this agreement, I will forgive what happened last night. After we divorce, I will take you to the villa in the suburbs. As long as you don't appear in front of Huanqing again, I will try my best to find time to visit you."
Ruan Liuzheng glared coldly at Fu Yanci's ugly face, wishing she could step forward and slap him twice like she did to Fu Zhiqing last time.
No, if she could go back to the past, what she wanted to do most was to slap herself hard twice.
You are so blind, how could you fall for a lowly man like Fu Yanci.
What divorce? What letting her not suffer from lovesickness? It's obviously a disguised support agreement.
It was just that there was an additional clause that threatened her, a clause concerning her son.
Ruan Liuzheng's eyes darkened, and she stared at Fu Yanci with her cold eyes, and her fingers hanging on her knees clenched into fists.
But her good upbringing made her hold back.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "What a high-sounding thing! Fu Yancibie pretended to be a love saint, saying that it was for my own good. What he meant by that was that he wanted me to sign this agreement and willingly give up my position as Mrs. Fu and become a shameful mistress."
"Do you really think I'm stupid? I've already mentioned the divorce. As long as you sign the divorce agreement, we can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce certificate. Who you marry at that time has nothing to do with me. Why bother to prepare such a hypocritical agreement? Who are you insulting?"
Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyelids and stared at Fu Yanci coldly; her beautiful eyebrows and eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice.
There was a coldness in his eyes without a trace of warmth.
