Chapter 125 Is he really overthinking it?
Grandpa Fu snapped out of his reverie and didn't show any unusual behavior towards Fu Shenyuan. He said, "It's nothing. I just asked when I remembered."
After he finished speaking, Old Master Fu's expression changed only slightly, which was usually imperceptible to others.
However, having spent so many years navigating the business world, Fu Shenyuan had encountered many people, and he noticed this subtle change in the old man's expression.
Expressions rarely appear on his face.
At that moment, he suddenly had a strong feeling that his grandfather hadn't just suddenly remembered to ask him.
Is there really something wrong with this? Otherwise, why would Grandpa react this way?
Fu Shenyuan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, but didn't say anything.
He was also pondering what he should do.
Fu Shenyuan asked, "Grandpa, is there anything wrong with what happened back then? Perhaps Grandpa knows something?"
Grandpa Fu shook his head and said, "Shen Yuan, you're overthinking it. I was just thinking about your father and mentioned it casually."
Grandpa Fu glanced at him and then brought the topic back, saying, "Of course, I asked you this because I want to know how you view this Miss Lin now."
"Are your thoughts still the same as they were six years ago before you got married?" Old Master Fu asked.
Fu Shenyuan did not give a firm and immediate answer.
He suddenly remembered six years ago, before he married Jiang Ranxing.
When he received the news that Lin Xuesha was going abroad to marry another man, his heart felt as if it were being crushed.
He didn't care about anything else at the time; all he wanted was to keep the person he valued most in his life with him.
But Lin Xuesha still left, without even leaving him a word.
At the time, he said with absolute certainty that he only wanted to choose Lin Xuesha.
However, when Fu Shenyuan recalled it, one thing he couldn't understand at the time was why Lin Xuesha would leave him alone.
How could someone who was willing to risk their life to save him give up on him so easily when he asked for a promise to stay with him forever?
He didn't understand this problem back then.
Logically speaking, this is actually unreasonable.
But when the news of Lin Xuesha's sudden marriage came, he had already forgotten about logic.
Looking back now, Fu Shenyuan still sensed that something seemed amiss.
Lin Xuesha's actions were inconsistent and contained some obvious flaws.
He also wondered if Lin Xuesha had stopped loving him and that's why she chose to leave and be with another man.
But now Lin Xuesha is acting as if she still loves him very much.
Then why did she marry someone else?
Fu Shenyuan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and a seed of doubt gradually took root in his heart.
Faced with Old Master Fu's question, Fu Shenyuan did not immediately show anything.
Fu Shenyuan still said, "I cannot betray Xue Sha's kindness in saving my life, nor do I want to betray her feelings for me."
Grandpa Fu understood. Fu Shenyuan still held the same feelings for Lin Xuesha, and he always believed without a doubt that Lin Xuesha had saved him.
So now, Grandpa Fu has nothing to tell Fu Shenyuan.
Let's just keep it from him; that's the best course of action for the Fu family.
Grandpa Fu nodded and said, "Since you still have this idea, you need to balance and manage your current emotional relationships. You can no longer be involved with two women at the same time. You need to consider the impact and the Fu family."
Fu Shenyuan nodded, understanding that this was not a long-term solution.
He won't let Lin Xuesha stay in her current state forever.
Lin Xuesha had always wanted a promise from him, and he had to give it to her.
What about Jiang Ranxing...?
At this moment, he had no definite idea what to do.
However, it still needs to be dealt with eventually, and he still needs to think about how to do it.
Fu Shenyuan looked at Grandpa Fu and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will handle it."
Grandpa Fu nodded: "I can rest assured now that you've said that."
Grandpa Fu looked at him with a kind and gentle gaze and said, "Shen Yuan, Grandpa believes in your abilities. You can do everything well, and you have the ability to stand up again."
Fu Shenyuan stared at Old Master Fu, unable to fathom his grandfather's meaning for a moment.
However, he still nodded in agreement.
The two chatted about business and corporate matters for a while before Fu Shenyuan said goodbye to Old Master Fu and returned to the living room.
Fu Xingyi saw Fu Shenyuan and happily exclaimed, "Dad, you're back! Aunt Xue Sha and I have been waiting for you for so long!"
Fu Shenyuan looked at Lin Xuesha with some guilt and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Lin Xuesha shook her head. Although she had an unpleasant meal at Grandpa Fu's place today, Fu Shenyuan's attitude towards her remained the same.
"It's okay, Shen Yuan, I'm willing to wait for you no matter how long it takes," Lin Xuesha said shyly.
Nothing else matters, as long as she can hold onto Fu Shenyuan.
As for Old Master Fu, Lin Xuesha looked towards the study and snorted contemptuously in her heart.
Grandpa Fu is already that old, he won't live much longer, so she doesn't need to worry about him too much.
Old Master Fu will eventually pass the throne to Fu Shenyuan, so she doesn't need to care about someone who is about to lose power.
Fu Shenyuan said, "Let's go."
Just as Lin Xuesha and Fu Xingyi were about to turn and leave, Fu Xingyi remembered something and asked Fu Shenyuan.
"Dad, where's Mom? I want to talk to Mom, but I can't find her."
Fu Xingyi opened his round eyes and looked around, but he couldn't see Jiang Ranxing anywhere, which made him unhappy.
Fu Shenyuan said, "Your mother has already passed away."
"Huh?" Fu Xingyi pouted. "Why didn't Mom tell us she was leaving? I wanted to tell her I was going to attend my parent-teacher conference."
Fu Xingyi walked up to Fu Shenyuan and shook his trouser leg.
"Dad, you said you'd remind me, what am I going to do now?"
Fu Shenyuan had just remembered this. He looked at Fu Xingyi and said, "I'll talk to your mother when we get back. Let's go home first."
Since Fu Shenyuan had already said that, Fu Xingyi couldn't cause any more trouble.
Because he knew that if he said anything more, his father might get upset and stop paying attention to him.
Fu Xingyi took Lin Xuesha's hand again and said sweetly, "Let's go then, Aunt Xuesha."
"Okay, Shen Yuan, let's go," Lin Xuesha said.
The old housekeeper watched their car leave the Fu family's old residence.
The old butler returned to the study and stood opposite Old Master Fu, saying, "Master, should we intervene regarding Young Master Sun and Young Mistress Sun?"
Grandpa Fu moved his wrist, pondered deeply for a while, and finally sighed.
"Forget it, matters of the heart are not something we can change with any means. We won't cause any big commotion, so let them be."
Grandpa Fu looked at the old butler and instructed him, "Have someone keep a close eye on Shen Yuan. I can tell he's suspicious. Just in case he knows or remembers the truth of what happened back then and does something irrational, have someone keep an eye on him."
"Yes, sir."
The old butler left the study after receiving the order.
In his study, Old Master Fu gazed intently at the gloomy sky outside the window, as if he could foresee that some things were inevitable and would happen sooner or later, no matter what.
Everyone is a character in this absurd drama, and their scripts have already been written with their endings in their fate.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ranxing escorted Zhou Yinxiu back to Yinxiu Manor.
Zhou Yinxiu held Jiang Ranxing's hand and said earnestly, "Xiaoxing, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, please tell me in time, okay? Don't carry it all by yourself, it's too tiring."
Jiang Ranxing nodded obediently: "I will in the future, I won't be so disobedient anymore."
Zhou Yinxiu patted her hair, her face full of relief and satisfaction: "Go on, go back and get some rest. You'll have to work tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll head back now. I'll come see you again next week."
Jiang Ranxing said with a smile.
Zhou Yinxiu nodded and saw Jiang Ranxing out.
Jiang Ranxing sat in the driver's seat of the sports car and started the car. Several messages popped up on his phone.
Jiang Ranxing took out her phone and found that it contained messages from several different people.
The cast includes Wen Qingrang, Pei Senlang, Ji Shiheng, and Fu Shenyuan.
