Chapter 73 Walking Towards Her
No. 68 Binhai Road.
While Jiang Ranxing was making dessert for Fu Xingyi in the kitchen, the kitchen lights suddenly went out, plunging the surroundings into darkness.
From the living room came Fu Xingyi's terrified scream: "Aaaaaah, Mom! It's so dark! Aaaaaah!"
Jiang Ranxing quickly ran to the living room to see what was happening. Fu Xingyi was cowering in fear on the sofa.
Jiang Ranxing ran quickly through the darkness, sat on the sofa, and pulled Fu Xingyi into her arms, holding her tightly.
Fu Xingyi looked terrified; his little hands were trembling as he gripped Jiang Ranxing's clothes.
Jiang Ranxing hurriedly comforted her, "Yiyi, don't be afraid, Mom is here. It's just a power outage. Don't be scared, Yiyi."
"It's so dark, Mom, I'm so scared." Fu Xingyi was clearly frightened.
After all, he has lived in a villa since birth, and has always been taken care of by a nanny or housekeeper.
He was suddenly alone in the living room when the power went out, which startled him.
However, Fu Xingyi's adaptability was quite good. He was only scared for a while, but with Jiang Ranxing's comfort, he quickly returned to normal.
Jiang Ranxing brought over a few decorative lamps and placed them on the living room table. Under the warm yellow light, Fu Xingyi was no longer afraid; in fact, he was quite excited.
"Mom, I've never been in such a dark room before, but it's kind of fun."
Seeing that her son had recovered, Jiang Ranxing felt relieved.
She comforted her son, saying, "Yiyi, you'll encounter many, many things you've never seen before in the future. Although you might be scared at first, we must face them bravely, okay?"
“Yes, yes,” Fu Xingyi nodded, “Mom is right, I will be a brave little man.”
Jiang Ranxing suddenly smiled, very pleased with her son's performance.
If only her son could listen to her more sometimes.
Jiang Ranxing has already asked the property manager what happened, but the manager has not yet replied.
Jiang Ranxing dialed the number again, and this time the other end answered very quickly.
"Is there a power outage in the community? We don't have power at home right now," Jiang Ranxing asked.
The property manager was a little puzzled: "Huh? Ms. Jiang, your power hasn't been restored yet? We did have a power outage just now, but it's been restored now."
Jiang Ranxing was a little confused, so the property manager went to check the electricity situation.
A short while later, the property manager replied: "I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang, we found that because you haven't lived here or used electricity for a long time, an electricity agreement has expired. The online key can't be used automatically now, and you need to come in person to confirm it. Do you have time now?"
Jiang Ranxing looked at the speakerphone, and Fu Xingyi heard it too.
Fu Xingyi mustered up her courage and said, "It's okay, Mom, you go ahead, I can do it myself."
Jiang Ranxing looked around; they couldn't stay without power forever, otherwise it would be inconvenient, and Fu Xingyi would be even more frightened.
Jiang Ranxing said to the property manager, "Okay, I'll go over there in a bit."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ranxing said to Fu Xingyi, "Is Yiyi really okay on her own? Why don't you come with Mom?"
Fu Xingyi initially thought he could do it, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
"Then I'll go with my mom."
Jiang Ranxing nodded: "Then let's go put on our shoes and go out."
“Mmm,” Fu Xingyi replied.
A few minutes later, Jiang Ranxing's house was plunged into darkness again.
Jiang Ranxing and Fu Xingyi have already left home.
After a while, the door to Jiang Ranxing's house was opened. After confirming that no one was inside, Xiao Yu helped the unconscious Zhou Mozheng into the house.
After finding the location of the bedroom, Xiao Yu laid Zhou Mozheng down on the large bed. At the same time, as Lin Xuesha instructed, she took out the clothes from the wardrobe and placed them on the bedside table.
After doing all this, Xiao Yu tiptoed and closed the door before leaving.
After leaving the house, Xiao Yu sent a message to Lin Xuesha.
[Mr. Lin, everything has been prepared as you instructed.]
At this moment, Lin Xuesha had just gotten into the car with Fu Shenyuan. She smiled slightly and said softly to Fu Shenyuan, "Shenyuan, why don't you call Yiyi and tell him that we are on our way to pick him up?"
"Okay." Fu Shenyuan took the phone and dialed Fu Xingyi's number.
Fu Xingyi was walking with Jiang Ranxing on the garden path in the residential area.
Fu Xingyi's excited voice came through: "Dad! You were looking for me? Mom and I are on our way to the property management office."
Fu Xingyi said calmly, "Aunt Xue Sha wants to take you to see a movie."
"Really! Aunt Xue Sha is really going to take me with her? That's great! I was just thinking of watching the latest dinosaur cartoon."
Fu Xingyi was overjoyed and couldn't stop excited.
Fu Shenyuan said, "Yes."
Lin Xuesha leaned against Fu Shenyuan and said in a coaxing tone over the phone, "Yiyi, we'll be there in a little while, wait for me and Daddy."
Fu Xingyi nodded quickly and happily hung up the phone.
Jiang Ranxing tightened her grip on Fu Xingyi's hand slightly. Seeing her son so happy, she couldn't bear to say anything more.
Perhaps Fu Xingyi really isn't suited to live with her.
Perhaps Fu Shenyuan and Lin Xuesha can bring Fu Xingyi a happier life.
Everything seemed absurd, yet we went further and further down the path of absurdity.
Perhaps her marriage to Fu Shenyuan was a mistake from the start, and everything that happened afterward clearly tells her that she was wrong.
Either correct the mistake and start anew.
Either continue down this wrong path, endlessly wallowing in pain and heartache.
Jiang Ranxing chose the former.
Therefore, Jiang Ranxing has begun to slowly accept everything that is happening now.
There are some things she is destined to be unable to change. Since that's the case, she might as well go with the flow and avoid suffering.
The bitterness she's experiencing now has already made her sad enough, but she won't feel that way again.
For example, right now, if Fu Xingyi wants to go to the movies with them, Jiang Ranxing won't stop him.
Jiang Ranxing said to Fu Xingyi, "Yiyi, sit on the sofa in the lobby and wait for Mom. Mom will sign the papers and come out soon."
Fu Xingyi was completely focused on going out with Lin Xuesha and had no time to think about anything else.
"Okay, Mom, you go ahead. I'll wait here for Aunt Xue Sha."
Jiang Ranxing sighed helplessly and followed the property staff into the office.
After signing the formalities, Jiang Ranxing walked out of the office and saw Lin Xuesha hugging Fu Xingyi and laughing and joking around.
And standing next to her was Fu Shenyuan.
Jiang Ranxing looked up and met Fu Shenyuan's gaze.
Their eyes met for a fleeting moment, as if they could communicate some unspoken message.
Jiang Ranxing didn't speak, and had nothing more to say to Fu Shenyuan.
She looked away, only to see Fu Shenyuan walking towards her.
Jiang Ranxing was somewhat surprised, but she still didn't want to presume that Fu Shenyuan had come to see her.
Jiang Ranxing decided to turn around and leave the property management office to go home, not wanting to have any further contact with these two people.
However, Fu Shenyuan stood in front of her, blocking her way.
Fu Shenyuan said, "Wait a moment."
