Chapter 210 Not Caring
Jiang Ranxing didn't say much. Looking at the father and son beside her, she felt a deep sense of helplessness.
She was really tired today, and her mind seemed to be exhausted to the point that she had no energy left to do anything. So she took a step to go upstairs, but Fu Shenyuan stopped her.
"I'll have the kitchen make you something to eat. What would you like to eat?" Fu Shenyuan asked.
Jiang Ranxing shook his head: "I have no appetite, thank you."
However, Fu Shenyuan didn't seem to want to let Jiang Ranxing go upstairs directly. He insisted on making something for Jiang Ranxing to eat, and even rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen himself.
In Jiang Ranxing's memory, there was never a scene of Fu Shenyuan cooking, so the way he was busy in the kitchen at this moment was somewhat strange.
She didn't know what Fu Shenyuan was up to. Ever since he made her breakfast last time, he had become quite enthusiastic about cooking for her.
Jiang Ranxing was naturally not in the mood to accompany him in doing these things, so she simply pretended not to see them. She also mostly ignored what Fu Shenyuan did. Occasionally, when she saw a look of disappointment on Fu Shenyuan's face after being rejected, Jiang Ranxing usually didn't care.
Just because you give something to someone doesn't mean they have to accept it.
She understands this principle very well now, but Fu Shenyuan seems not to.
However, Jiang Ranxing felt that there was no need for her to tell Fu Shenyuan about this. Everyone has their own things they are persistent about, and others don't necessarily have to get involved.
As Jiang Ranxing was about to step upstairs, Fu Xingyi wrapped his arms around her legs and affectionately rubbed against her calves.
"Mom, can you play with me for a while? I bought a lot of fun new toys and I want to play with you."
Looking at her son's expectant gaze, Jiang Ranxing felt somewhat reluctant to refuse, but she really didn't have much energy.
"Yiyi, let's do it another day. Mom is tired today and wants to go back to her room to rest," Jiang Ranxing said casually.
Fu Xingyi is young and easily gets upset. He was a little unhappy at the moment, but he didn't want to upset his mother.
He grabbed Jiang Ranxing's clothes and said, "Mom, can you do your homework with me? I'll do my homework quietly next to you and won't disturb your rest, okay?"
Fu Xingyi looked a little pitiful when she said this, her big, beautiful, watery eyes filled with longing.
Since her son had begged her like that, Jiang Ranxing couldn't bring herself to be so heartless, so she nodded.
Fu Xingyi followed him upstairs and into Jiang Ranxing's bedroom.
Fu Xingyi entered her bedroom for the first time and exclaimed, "Wow, Mom's bedroom is so beautiful! Dad must have decorated it; it's full of things Mom likes."
After Fu Xingyi's reminder, Jiang Ranxing looked around the entire bedroom. It was indeed the clean, simple, and warm style she liked. This didn't seem to be the style Fu Shenyuan liked. So he had deliberately decorated it like this?
Jiang Ranxing lowered his eyes.
What was he trying to do? Was he trying to please her?
Jiang Ranxing chuckled twice.
The nanny knocked on the door and brought in Fu Xingyi's homework, while also asking about Jiang Ranxing's needs.
"I don't need anything, you guys go ahead with your work, just don't disturb my rest."
The nanny didn't dare say anything more, so she quietly left the bedroom.
The nanny originally wanted to say that the husband had been busy in the kitchen making food for her, but seeing that Jiang Ranxing showed little interest, she didn't say anything on behalf of the husband.
Jiang Ranxing glanced at Fu Xingyi, who was sitting obediently in front of the small tea table, opening his notebook and preparing to start doing his homework.
Seeing Jiang Ranxing looking at him, Fu Xingyi gave a sweet smile.
"Mom, I will do my homework carefully and won't bother you."
Jiang Ranxing looked at him for a while, nodded, and then went into the bathroom. The maid had already prepared the bathwater. She took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub. The hot water instantly enveloped her whole body, and she felt as if she could use this time to clear her mind a little.
The warm bath water seeped into every crevic of Jiang Ranxing's skin, making his entire body feel much more comfortable.
At this moment, she is thinking about her present and future.
Actually, she also felt somewhat lost.
She had adapted to life abroad, but that place was filled with memories of Wen Qingrang. Even if she wanted to go back, he was no longer by her side.
If she were in China, she wouldn't really have any particular thoughts.
She has achieved enough in her work, and everything in the design field is now on track. Even if she is not around for a long time, Mia, Manager Shen, and the rest of her team can handle everything perfectly.
Ji Shiheng contacted her again, wanting her to return, but she seemed to have lost much of her ambition in her career. If she went back to Ling Su, her development would certainly not be too bad, but she turned it down for the time being.
Perhaps it was the recent events involving the Wen and Fu families that made her lose interest in these power struggles and business disputes. This could be considered a kind of disenchantment. To put it bluntly, in the end, all that fighting and fighting is about holding onto those cold, hard shares or powers.
After that serious car accident, she no longer longed for that kind of life.
She just wants a job she enjoys, enough money to get by, and someone to lean on and chat with on cold nights, someone to spend many years and days together. This kind of simple and happy life is probably what she wants most right now.
It's a pity that something like this is harder to obtain than many other things.
At least for now, the people around her are not the ones she wants, nor are they the ones who can bring her happiness.
Jiang Ranxing wondered, bewildered, what was the point of continuing like this?
Fu Shenyuan reluctantly asked her to stay, and you could really feel happiness and joy in that?
Perhaps she should find some time to talk to Fu Shenyuan again.
If they continue like this, it can't go on forever.
Jiang Ranxing closed his eyes wearily and rested briefly in the bathtub.
When Fu Xingyi saw Jiang Ranxing come out of the bathroom, he waved his little hand and said, "Mom, you're out! I've finished my English homework! Mom, do you want to see it?"
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Ranxing decided to walk over and sit on the sofa next to the coffee table, taking the homework from Fu Xingyi's hand.
"Yiyi did very well, she only got one question wrong."
Jiang Ranxing pointed out the question that Fu Xingyi had gotten wrong, handed it to Fu Xingyi, and explained it to him.
Fu Xingyi listened attentively, and then kept praising, "Mom is so amazing! I can understand what Mom is saying very quickly. She's even better than my tutor!"
Jiang Ranxing simply smiled faintly and patted his head.
Just then, there was a knock on the bedroom door. Fu Shenyuan opened the door and saw the two of them sitting in the outer hall of the bedroom. He then invited them to have dinner.
"Let's go downstairs while it's still hot, Yiyi. Take Mom with you."
Fu Xingyi happily replied, "Mhm."
Jiang Ranxing was also a little hungry, so she accompanied Fu Xingyi downstairs.
Inside the restaurant, Fu Shenyuan, still wearing an apron, placed the last porcelain bowl on the table. When he saw Jiang Ranxing approaching, their eyes met, and Fu Shenyuan gave her a very gentle smile.
Jiang Ranxing was pulled down to sit by Fu Xingyi, but did not react to Fu Shenyuan's overtures.
Fu Shenyuan's smile froze on his face for a moment, then he blinked rapidly, pretending not to be hurt by Jiang Ranxing's indifference.
After taking off his apron and handing it to the housekeeper, he sat down opposite Jiang Ranxing.
He proceeded to describe the dinner he had prepared that day.
"You said last time that you didn't like salty porridge, so this time I made some sweet porridge with lily bulbs. Try it, you might like it."
Jiang Ranxing looked at the porridge in front of her, which was clearly not made using a very rudimentary method, and her eyes flickered slightly.
She said, "I don't know why you insist that it's not good to go to so much trouble. There are professional chefs available, so let them cook next time."
Fu Shenyuan's heart tightened, and he did indeed feel a pang of pain in his heart because of Jiang Ranxing's words.
"I want to make it for you myself. If you don't like it, I can change it next time," Fu Shenyuan said, picking up a spoon and taking a sip of the porridge. It was indeed not very tasty.
Fu Shenyuan reached out to stop Jiang Ranxing: "If you really don't like it, I'll make another one."
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that." Jiang Ranxing was too lazy to choose anymore. Even if it was delicious, she wouldn't taste it. If she wasn't hungry after eating, that was fine. She had nothing to choose from.
Fu Shenyuan couldn't say anything more. Seeing that Jiang Ranxing didn't seem to mind eating these things, he felt a little relieved.
The family of three ate this simple dinner with feigned harmony, but the superficial peace did not last long.
Fu Shenyuan's phone, which was on the dining table, lit up. Jiang Ranxing naturally saw the caller ID, but she just smiled and continued eating her porridge.
Fu Shenyuan's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He picked up the phone and hung up, but the other party was not going to let him go and called back.
Annoyed by the ringing phone, Jiang Ranxing said, "Answer it, don't interrupt your little lover's call."
Fu Shenyuan wasn't oblivious to the sarcasm in Jiang Ranxing's words. He simply pressed the power button and casually placed the phone on the dining chair next to him.
Jiang Ranxing felt that his actions were somewhat like burying his head in the sand.
“You don’t need to do this. I’m no longer anyone to you. Things I wouldn’t have minded before, I still won’t mind now. You can bring her back to this villa and I won’t care, as long as she doesn’t disturb me.”
When Jiang Ranxing said this, he suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart, but it was only for a moment, and then he returned to normal.
Jiang Ranxing himself couldn't explain why he was momentarily lost in thought.
It seems that at some point in time, she had been heartbroken because of something like this, but she had absolutely no recollection of it.
Perhaps she was just too tired, Jiang Ranxing comforted herself, and so she didn't take it too seriously.
Fu Shenyuan, however, thought differently. Jiang Ranxing had indeed lost her memory and forgotten everything between them in the past.
Jiang Ranxing's indifference to his relationship with Lin Xuesha ultimately stems from his lack of concern for her.
The people you care about don't care about you; this is probably the most helpless thing in the world.
Who could he turn to for reason? Fu Shenyuan couldn't find anyone to complain to or confide in.
Lin Xuesha's phone was repeatedly hung up on until she could no longer get through. In a fit of anger, she smashed a teacup next to her, shattering it into pieces that littered the ground.
Lin Heyuan walked over, looked at Lin Xuesha's appearance, and snorted: "What, did you get turned away by Fu Shenyuan again? What's wrong with you? How did you become like this!"
Lin Heyuan was very angry about Lin Xuesha's current situation.
He had originally hoped that Lin Xuesha would become the wife of the Fu family's head, which would allow the Lin family to be revived.
It seems now that it has all come to nothing.
Lin Xuesha was also furious: "How would I know! Fu Shenyuan is now like a madman, fawning over that abandoned woman Jiang Ranxing. He hasn't seen me at all, and now he won't even answer my calls. Could it be that woman Jiang Ranxing who did it?"
Lin Xuesha remembered that she had once used Fu Shenyuan's phone to hang up on Jiang Ranxing's call. Could it be that the same thing was happening again, and it was Jiang Ranxing's turn to cause trouble?
Lin Heyuan now sees her as utterly hopeless.
"If this continues, Fu Shenyuan might really forget about you. What do you plan to do then? Have you made any progress in befriending other rich young men lately?"
Lin Xuesha shook her head angrily: "They all know I was with Fu Shenyuan, and no one dares to accept me! What am I supposed to do!"
Lin Xuesha had originally thought of looking for other young men, but Fu Shenyuan's heart was hard to fathom, and she didn't want to waste too much time. Unfortunately, who wouldn't fear the power of the Fu family? No one dared to have any overly intimate contact with this woman who had almost married Fu Shenyuan.
Lin Xuesha is now in a desperate situation, it seems she still needs to keep Fu Shenyuan by her side.
Unexpectedly, Fu Shenyuan now doesn't even answer her calls anymore.
Lin Xuesha couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up, grabbed her bag, and prepared to leave, but Lin Heyuan scolded her.
"Where have you been shopping again? Can't you use this time to do something worthwhile?!"
Lin Xuesha's attitude also turned sour; she left after saying those words.
"I'm going to find Fu Shenyuan. I won't let him be with Jiang Ranxing. He has to be mine!"
After Lin Xuesha finished speaking, she went out and drove to Qingshan Villa, but when she arrived at the villa, she was turned away again.
The Green Hill Villa had long been deserted, with only a few servants left to look after it.
Lin Xuesha grabbed someone at random and asked. The person was a new caretaker of the villa and had no idea about the relationship between the owner and Lin Xuesha. So he honestly said, "The owner of this house moved away a few days ago. I heard that the family of three moved to Qinglin. The scenery there is beautiful. If you are looking for that lady or gentleman, you will have to go to Qinglin to find them."
Lin Xuesha's heart immediately went into alarm. She hadn't expected that Fu Shenyuan had moved to a new place with Jiang Ranxing without telling her at all.
No! She wouldn't let Jiang Ranxing take everything that belonged to her, absolutely not.
Lin Xuesha wasted no time and quickly drove to Qinglin Villa.
