Chapter 119 Not Mindful, Because I Don't Care
Jiang Ranxing raised an eyebrow slightly. The old butler said that Fu Shenyuan brought people over, which was probably Fu Xingyi and Lin Xuesha.
The fact that the three of them came together clearly put her in an awkward position.
The husband and son came to the father-in-law's house with another woman.
Anyone who sees this will find it ironic.
Jiang Ranxing didn't really want Zhou Yinxiu to see her marriage in such a terrible state.
Hearing something and seeing it with your own eyes are ultimately different.
She couldn't bear to see her teacher saddened any further.
So she said to Zhou Yinxiu, "Teacher, why don't you rest here first? I'll invite you to join me after his grandfather finishes his acupuncture treatment, okay?"
Zhou Yinxiu was a little worried about Jiang Ranxing going alone: "I'm fine, but are you sure you can manage?"
“It’s okay,” Jiang Ranxing comforted Zhou Yinxiu, “It’s nothing, I can handle it myself.”
Zhou Yinxiu was still a little worried, but she could only nod: "Okay, you go first. Don't try to handle things on your own, okay?"
"Yes, I will." Jiang Ranxing got up, instructed the old butler to have someone take good care of the garden, and then went to the interior of the old house.
Inside the old house, Jiang Ranxing walked in through the garden gate and slowly approached the sofa.
She saw Fu Shenyuan's back to her, with Lin Xuesha sitting beside him, while Fu Xingyi was playing around with them.
From a distance, the three people look like a family.
A faint, mocking smile appeared between Jiang Ranxing's teeth.
Fu Xingyi was still showing off the little gadget in his hand to Lin Xuesha and Fu Shenyuan, looking particularly happy.
He looked up and saw Jiang Ranxing, whose little face, which had been immersed in joy, still had a smile on it.
He called out happily, "Mom, you're here!"
Jiang Ranxing nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
Fu Xingyi's smile was so bright and cheerful, more radiant than any smile she had ever seen.
In the past, she would have wondered if her son was happy to see her.
But Jiang Ranxing no longer has these unrealistic and impractical ideas.
Fu Xingyi's smile was only because of Fu Shenyuan and Lin Xuesha.
It was never for her.
There never has been.
Deceiving yourself won't help.
She stopped dwelling on the issue and let Fu Xingyi smile at whomever he wanted.
As long as he can live well and not mistreat his own life, she feels that's enough.
As a mother, she gave up custody after the divorce. From now on, she only needs to fulfill her obligations as a mother to support and care for her children.
Anything else is meaningless.
The old housekeeper gestured for Jiang Ranxing to sit on the sofa opposite him: "Young Madam Sun, please sit here."
Jiang Ranxing glanced at the women's watch on her wrist. There wasn't much time left in the hour, which meant that Old Master Fu would be coming out soon.
It doesn't matter where you wait.
Besides, she wasn't afraid of these people, and she wouldn't feel pain or sadness because of the way the three of them were together.
So she sat down on the sofa, her expression remaining calm and composed.
The old butler brought over some more tea and snacks.
"Please have some, Mrs. Sun."
Jiang Ranxing thanked him and then took out his phone to look at messages and emails.
She's been working much busier lately, so she has to check her work emails whenever she has a spare moment.
After processing the email files, Jiang Ranxing opened the message interface.
Jiang Ranxing noticed the message sent by Pei Senlang.
[Junior, I've selected some outstanding student work again. You might like a few of them; I'll send them to you for a look.]
Next came a compressed file package.
Jiang Ranxing was busy at the time and forgot to reply, and didn't have time to look at the documents. Later, Pei Senlang sent her another message.
[Hey junior, are you free next week? Your favorite dessert shop off campus has reopened, and I'd like to invite you to try it out.]
Jiang Ranxing was too busy to see it, but then she saw that Pei Senlang had quietly sent another meme of a puppy waiting for its owner.
It also has a somewhat pitiful feel to it.
Jiang Ranxing smiled softly at her phone, her slender fingers swiping rapidly across the screen.
[Sorry, Senior Pei, I was busy and forgot to reply to your message. I received the file and will read it carefully. Thank you.]
Jiang Ranxing thought about it for a moment, then started typing on the keyboard.
[Next time I go to H University, can I invite you, senior, to try that restaurant together?]
Jiang Ranxing turned off his phone after replying.
But before Jiang Ranxing could put his phone down, the screen lit up again, and Pei Senlang's message appeared before his eyes.
Okay, I'll wait for you, junior. Call me anytime.
Pei Senlang then posted a cute, happy puppy sticking out its tongue emoji.
Jiang Ranxing was amused by Pei Senlang's emoji, and then she turned off her phone.
Jiang Ranxing still had a smile on her face.
Looking up, Jiang Ranxing found Fu Shenyuan staring at her, his eyes filled with a chilling gaze that seemed to pierce through her.
Jiang Ranxing's smile faded slightly when she faced Fu Shenyuan, and her smile vanished completely.
She had nothing more to say to him, and then she looked away on her own.
She saw Lin Xuesha, who seemed to know that today was a very important occasion, so she dressed differently from usual, dressed more elegantly, and even tied up her hair, which she usually wore loose.
Looking at all this now, Jiang Ranxing always seems to have a sense of unreality.
It's as if she's an NPC who has already woken up from a specific plot, and no longer has any emotional changes as she watches the people still in the story get entangled.
I just felt like they were putting on an absurd drama.
Fu Shenyuan frowned slightly as he looked at her unchanging face.
Jiang Ranxing's actions were very obvious; she was resisting his gaze.
It seems that Jiang Ranxing has been ignoring his existence lately.
Fu Shenyuan recalled.
Just because her brother pushed her down and injured her, and she was hospitalized, her attitude towards him changed.
On what grounds?
Why should Jiang Ranxing treat him so coldly just because of this?
Fu Shenyuan coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "When did you get here?"
Jiang Ranxing looked at him, not in the mood to argue or anything, and casually said, "A little earlier than you guys."
Fu Shenyuan then asked her, "What did you bring for Grandpa?"
Jiang Ranxing slightly raised his chin and said, "If you're really curious, go see for yourself."
Jiang Ranxing was referring to the place where the old butler had just put the gifts.
Fu Shenyuan was at a loss for what to do with Jiang Ranxing's attitude, and his brows furrowed even more.
Lin Xuesha watched from the side, wanting to say something, but she didn't feel comfortable saying it because they were in the Fu family's old house.
This was her first time visiting the Fu family's old residence, and she had come with Fu Shenyuan. It was also her first time meeting the Fu family patriarch, so she had to present herself in an elegant and dignified manner in order to win his favor.
Let Old Master Fu know that she is the more suitable woman to be the wife of the head of the Fu family.
Therefore, Lin Xuesha didn't say anything from the moment she entered the door, afraid that Old Master Fu would see her.
Otherwise, she would definitely have made a sarcastic remark about Jiang Ranxing without any mercy right now.
Lin Xuesha moved slightly to the side, making room between herself and Fu Shenyuan. She patted the sofa and said, "Yiyi, come sit here. You're all sweaty from playing. Let me wipe your sweat for you, okay?"
Lin Xuesha pulled two tissues from the table and was about to wipe Fu Xingyi's sweat.
Fu Xingyi was also very pleased. After climbing onto the sofa, he moved closer to Lin Xuesha and said sweetly, "Thank you, Mommy Xuesha."
The word "Mommy" finally brought Jiang Ranxing back to her senses. She turned her gaze to Fu Xingyi and saw Lin Xuesha tenderly wiping Fu Xingyi's sweat and tidying his clothes.
Having achieved her goal, Lin Xuesha looked at Jiang Ranxing with an innocent expression, appearing somewhat flustered as if she had been caught red-handed.
Lin Xuesha said, "Ranxing, I didn't teach Yiyi to say that. It's what Yiyi and I called her when we were playing a game at our home in Qingshan. Yiyi lost and that's why she called me that."
Lin Xuesha was secretly delighted, but on the surface she remained innocent.
“I told Yiyi not to call me that all the time, but she seems to have gotten used to it and sometimes forgets to call me back.”
"Burning Star, you don't mind, do you?"
Jiang Ranxing calmly watched Lin Xuesha continue her act of innocence in front of her.
Lin Xuesha's appearance was truly disgusting to her.
She gave a faint snort.
