Chapter 234 Dislikes being disturbed
“Whether I turn back or not, I am still Nian’an’s biological mother. Not to mention Miss Song, even Fu Siyan has no right to stop me from expressing my love for Nian’an.”
Song Lanyin stared intently at Shen Qingshu.
However, only one day has passed.
The changes in Shen Qingshu are quite significant.
“Miss Shen, you’ve misunderstood. I’m just taking care of and nurturing Nian’an according to Si Yan’s instructions,” Song Lanyin said with a faint smile. “If Miss Shen doesn’t agree with Si Yan’s methods, she can talk to Si Yan herself.”
Shen Qingshu came here for two reasons: first, to see her son, and second, to have a clear talk with Fu Siyan.
She asked Zhang Yun where Fu Siyan was.
Zhang Yun glanced at Song Lanyin.
“Siyan is in the study,” Song Lanyin said. “However, he may not be willing to see you.”
Shen Qingshu ignored Song Lanyin and continued to look at Zhang Yun, saying, "Tell him that I need to talk to him about Nian'an's upbringing."
Zhang Yun nodded. "Okay, I'll pass on your message to Mr. Fu."
Zhang Yun put his things down and turned to go upstairs.
"I'll go," Song Lanyin stopped Zhang Yun. "He's been busy with work lately and doesn't like to be disturbed."
Zhang Yun looked at Shen Qingshu with a troubled expression.
Shen Qingshu remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Song Lanyin stepped upstairs.
After everyone went upstairs, Zhang Yun hurriedly went to Shen Qingshu's side and whispered, "Miss Shen, please don't be angry with Miss Song. She just doesn't know how to talk nicely, but she's actually quite good to Young Master Nian'an..."
“Zhang Yun.” Shen Qingshu looked at her. “I believe you will take good care of Nian’an, but that doesn’t mean I will approve of the way Fu Siyan and Song Lanyin treat Nian’an.”
Zhang Yun pursed her lips, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Soon, Song Lanyin came down from the second floor.
She looked at Shen Qingshu, her tone indifferent, "Siyan wants you to go upstairs."
Shen Qingshu led Xiao Anning upstairs.
Xiao Anning looked around curiously the whole way up.
Shen Qingshu looked down at her daughter.
The little girl hasn't said a word since she came in; her big eyes are darting around, full of curiosity.
Shen Qingshu actually knew that Xiao Anning missed her father very much.
Children are children after all. When Xiao Nian'an praised Fu Siyan several times, Xiao Anning was actually quite envious. However, she was too proud to admit it and stubbornly said that she didn't like her father.
From the moment she entered until now, the anticipation written on Xiao Anning's little face could not escape Shen Qingshu's eyes.
She raised her daughter, and she could see right through her little schemes.
The study door was not closed, and Shen Qingshu stopped at the doorway.
Fu Siyan was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Hearing the noise, he turned around.
Their eyes met, and Fu Siyan said calmly, "Come in."
Shen Qingshu led Xiao Anning inside.
Fu Siyan's gaze fell on Xiao Anning's tender little face, and he smiled slightly, "Xiao Anning, it's been a long time."
Xiao Anning pouted and snorted, turning her chubby face to the side. "I only came with Mom to find Xiao Nian'an, not to see you!"
The little girl's contradictory behavior is both cute and vivid.
Fu Siyan smiled, feeling her heart melt.
But he really had no experience communicating with little girls, and the fatherly love he showed was still stiff.
"Nian'an will be back later, just wait a little longer."
That cold, icy tone again!
Xiao Anning frowned, put her hands on her hips, and stared at Fu Siyan with her big eyes.
Although she's a master of sweet talk, she's also a stubborn mule at heart.
She really wanted to play with her dad, but he always just gave her a few cold words and never smiled.
Xiao Anning even felt that her father might not like her that much. She wouldn't take the initiative to please someone who didn't like her that much!
"You're so mean! It's Saturday! Why are you making Xiao Nian'an go to school? Our teacher said the weekend is for rest and play. You're going to exhaust Xiao Nian'an! You don't care about the child at all!"
The little girl used Xiao Nian'an as an excuse to scold people, just to get her father's attention and make him coax her.
But Fu Siyan stared at Xiao Anning's pouty face and was speechless for a moment.
The atmosphere was tense.
Fu Siyan pursed his thin lips, not knowing how to comfort the little girl, and turned his gaze to Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu was not surprised at all by his reaction.
She lowered her head and ruffled Xiao Anning's hair. "Do you want to go downstairs and find Aunt Zhang first? Mommy has something to say to your father."
Xiao Anning nodded, glared at Fu Siyan, and then turned and walked out of the study.
Shen Qingshu called Zhang Yun and asked her to keep an eye on Xiao Anning.
Zhang Yun immediately ran upstairs to help Xiao Anning downstairs.
The study fell silent again.
Shen Qingshu spoke first, "Fu Siyan, I've thought it over. I will still fight for Nian'an's custody."
Fu Siyan looked at her and said, "I told you, Nian'an is with me, and you can come to see him anytime."
“I don’t approve of your parenting style,” Shen Qingshu stated directly. “I also don’t trust Song Lanyin, so I’m determined to fight this lawsuit.”
Fu Siyan stared at her for a moment, then asked, "Jin Que has already told you, hasn't he?"
I don't want to get involved in the feud between you and Jin Que.
Shen Qingshu said firmly, "I only care about my child, Fu Siyan. I have tried to believe in you and Miss Song. I have also tried to make peaceful contact with Miss Song for the sake of the child. I have even convinced myself to believe that you, as the child's biological father, will treat the child well. However, even just as the child's biological father, your actions have still disappointed me."
“The Fu family’s situation is complicated,” Fu Siyan explained. “Nian’an is a very smart child, and he can handle everything I’ve arranged for him.”
"Can you bear it?" Shen Qingshu looked at him, coldly smiling as she retorted, "Does your so-called 'can bear it' mean turning him from a child who knows joy and happiness into a cold-blooded person like you, whose eyes are only filled with calculations of profit?"
Fu Siyan pursed his lips, his dark eyes reflecting Shen Qingshu's face.
The air was silent.
Shen Qingshu spoke again, "Do you know why I brought Xiao Anning here today?"
Fu Siyan frowned. "Why?"
"Because Xiao Anning also longs for her father's attention."
Shen Qingshu looked into his eyes, "But every time you face Xiao Anning, your attitude is very stiff. You can't even tell if she's being affectionate or throwing a tantrum."
Fu Siyan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "I thought she didn't like me..."
Shen Qingshu sneered, "That's because you never know how to feel with your heart. You used to educate Fu Siyu by giving him plenty of material things, and now you're educating Xiao Nian'an the same way. In your mind, you think they are all suitable to be raised as heirs, but Xiao Anning is a girl, and you don't consider letting her inherit the Fu family business. So you abandon the material support, and you don't know how to be a father."
“Fu Siyan, this is your value system. You put power and profit first. Family, love, and friendship are virtual and insignificant to you. But if people can only live like you, what difference is there between them and animals?”
Fu Siyan stared at her blankly.
Every word she spoke was like a sharp needle, piercing his heart one after another.
Fu Siyan lowered his eyes, "I will not give up custody of Nian'an, nor will I change my parenting style."
“You have custody of the children now, and I really can’t interfere with your decision, so I will fight the lawsuit. But no matter what the final outcome of the lawsuit is, from today onwards, the two children must spend at least two days a week together. Xiao Anning and Xiao Nian’an are siblings, and even if you are their biological father, you cannot deprive them of their right to spend time together as siblings.”
Fu Siyan stared at her for a long while before saying, "I can promise you that the two children will stay together for two days a week, one week at your place and one week at mine."
Shen Qingshu: "Okay."
—
After talking with Fu Siyan, Shen Qingshu went downstairs.
Xiao Nian'an returned before midnight.
When Xiao Anning saw Xiao Nian'an, she immediately ran over and hugged him.
"Xiao Nian'an, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"
"Little Anning, I miss you too!"
The two little ones hugged each other and cheered. Xiao Anning showed Xiao Nian'an all the toys and clothes they had brought.
Xiao Nian'an was delighted and smiled as she said to Shen Qingshu, "Mom, thank you!"
Shen Qingshu patted Xiao Nian'an's head, and seeing how Xiao Anning had revived her vitality, her tense emotions relaxed slightly.
Song Lanyin stood to the side, watching Xiao Nian'an's lively and cheerful appearance, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
