Rong Yan rushed forward and, upon hearing Liu Ma's shout, disregarded whether she was injured and quickly opened the car door to get out.
The old woman lay on the ground, blood flowing from her numb legs.
"Call an ambulance." Fu Jingsheng frantically dialed the number, while Liu Ma squatted beside him.
Fortunately, the car wasn't going fast. The old lady's leg was scraped and cut, and her arm was scraped, but she was otherwise unharmed.
The old lady hadn't expected to fall; she was dizzy and expressionless for a long time.
Liu Ma was so frightened by the old lady's recklessness that she dared not utter a word.
After completing all the formalities, Fu Jingsheng sat down beside the hospital bed and looked at the old man.
After a long silence, the man finally spoke: "Aunt Liu, you watch over Grandma, I'm going out for some fresh air."
The old lady knew she had caused trouble, and dared not let her grandson stay in the ward to take care of her.
"Okay, okay," Liu Ma said cautiously.
Rong Yan was still in shock, sitting on a chair outside.
I thought the old lady was just joking and wouldn't really risk her life, but she impulsively opened the car door, disregarding the safety of everyone on the bus.
If the car were on the highway, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Rong Yan is still feeling uneasy.
If something were to happen to the old lady in their car, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she had a hundred mouths.
The woman began to reflect on whether agreeing to bring the old lady to Yushui Bay was a mistake; her momentary soft-heartedness had made everyone uncomfortable.
"Rong Yan." Fu Jingsheng sat down next to his wife, hesitating to speak.
"I know what you want to say, it's not your fault." Rong Yan understood Fu Jingsheng; after all, she was his grandmother, how could she not care?
He was probably even more anxious than I was, but if things continued like this, something bad would happen sooner or later.
The old lady attempted suicide several times while she was at Puyue Mansion. Puyue Mansion was the Fu family's house, so if anything happened, Rong Yan could say it had nothing to do with her. Now the old lady lives in Yushui Bay, in her own house.
If anything happens, she won't be able to escape responsibility.
“She should know the seriousness of the matter, yet she hasn’t said a word. Rongyan, I’m not trying to defend Grandma, but after we return to Tiancheng, could we give her another chance? Let her continue living in Yushui Bay?” Fu Jingsheng consulted with his wife before she made a decision.
Rong Yan was somewhat troubled. She frowned and thought for a while before saying, "I shouldn't let her go back to live on her own. After all, family and a nanny are different. But I'm worried that if she stays here, she might do something rash and something might happen to her. Whether I have to take responsibility is another matter, but it might frighten the child."
“Yes, the elderly are just like children, they need to be coaxed. But you can’t treat the elderly like this, completely disregarding their own lives and the lives of others. I’m still scared when I think about it.” Rong Yan got goosebumps just thinking about her opening the car door.
“If we send her back, she might really die. I’ll have a few nannies watch over her and try to keep her away from the children as much as possible, is that okay?”
“Look, is Grandma willing? There’s no one to monitor her every day, and she’s a great-grandmother, is it possible for her not to have contact with the children?” Rong Yan rejected the idea without hesitation; Fu Jingsheng’s suggestion was simply not going to work.
Yesterday, several children were clearly avoiding her, but the old lady rushed at them herself.
Rongyan didn't want the children to be unhappy, nor did she want the old lady to act up every now and then. Work and life were already troublesome enough; she didn't want to have to accommodate her anymore.
Fu Jingsheng knew that her request was excessive. The old lady often caused trouble, and it was already good enough that Rong Yan didn't hate her. To ask her to live in the house was simply asking the impossible.
But he couldn't very well go to Puyue Mansion himself just to get the old lady to go back, because that would mean he and Rongyan would be separated.
Fu Jingsheng rested his hands on his knees, his eyes lowered, and remained silent.
“From now on, Xiao Lei and the others will live with us,” Rong Yan said after a while. “But there’s one condition: whether the children go to the neighbor’s or not is their own choice.”
Fu Jingsheng's brows relaxed: "Okay."
"Thank you."
“I don’t want to put you in a difficult position. Grandma is getting old. We live together, and it’s really not good for her to go back alone. I hope this is the last time this happens,” Rong Yan said.
In the ward, the old lady only began to speak after she saw her grandson leave.
She asked Aunt Liu to sit down next to her and asked her if her grandson would let her go back to live in Puyue Mansion.
Aunt Liu dared not talk nonsense anymore.
After thinking about it, she decided to apologize to the old lady.
"Big sister, I shouldn't have brought you out. I was wrong. There's no place like home outside. I could tell the young master was very worried about you. Luckily, nothing serious happened today, otherwise I would never forgive myself." Aunt Liu said, crying.
The old lady was also afraid that she would be a burden to Liu Ma. She reached out to wipe away Liu Ma's tears: "It's all my fault for arguing with the children. I am Jing Sheng's grandmother. He won't do anything to me. But you, Xiao Liu, if Jing Sheng lets you leave, I will go back to Puyue Mansion with you."
The master and servant wept together.
The old lady finished her IV drip in the early hours of the morning.
After leaving the hospital, the old man forced himself to say that he had caused Fu Jingsheng trouble.
Fu Jingsheng wanted to ask his grandmother if she could stop doing this in the future, but Rong Yan tugged at his hand and gave him a wink.
Since the old lady has realized her mistake and offered a way out, let her come down.
The grandson didn't speak, and the old lady continued, "I won't run around anymore. I hope you can keep Aunt Liu here."
With a choked voice, Aunt Liu repeatedly said sorry.
The man then replied, "Okay, Aunt Liu, take good care of Grandma from now on. If Grandma needs anything, she'll come to you first."
——
At Yushui Bay, Han Yue received a call about the old lady's disappearance. She immediately asked her son what was going on. Upon learning that the old lady had been found, the woman still rushed home that very night.
She was waiting in the living room.
Until dawn.
Fu Jingsheng returned with the old lady and the others.
Hearing the noise, Han Yue propped herself up on the sofa and saw that her mother-in-law was alright, and her heart finally settled down.
Rong Yan called out "Mom," said a few words, and then went back to her room to rest.
Fu Jingsheng instructed the servants to take good care of his grandmother and then went back with Rong Yan.
Rong Yan dozed off for a while on the way, but she still felt very tired. After going upstairs, she collapsed onto the bed without even taking off her clothes.
Fu Jingsheng covered his wife with a blanket.
He washed his face, and all sleepiness vanished.
The man leaned against the bed and scrolled through the news for a while.
Before the controversy surrounding the clothing quality issue has been resolved, someone has started spreading rumors that Fu Jingsheng and Rong Yan conspired to drive away the Fu family's matriarch, accompanied by a photo of the matriarch sitting alone at the station exit.
Comment: [Character determines product quality. Can someone who isn't even filial to their own grandmother be a good businessman?]
Fu Jingsheng scrolled down to the comments section, and the conversation went further and further astray.
The man put on his clothes and went to the company.
The public relations department has staff on duty 24 hours a day. Fu Jingsheng took a screenshot of the latest news and sent it to the group. Some people suppressed the news, while others checked the IDs.
Fu Jingsheng couldn't help but suspect that Liu Ma and Rong Bing were still in contact, or that this was a setup by the two of them, since the incident had just happened.
