Chapter 270: Really Worthy of Being Brothers
Wen Liang was surprised when he heard this.
When it was time to cook, she went downstairs to help.
Second Aunt and Su Qingyun were busy in the kitchen, preparing and cutting vegetables respectively. Fu Zheng and the other two were also there, some picking out shrimp threads and some chopping ribs.
There were only the old lady and two children in the living room.
Wen Liang subconsciously glanced at Su Qingyun, then at Fu Yue who was marinating chicken legs. It seemed that there was really a problem between the couple, and there was no communication at all.
Especially Su Qingyun, who didn't even look at Fu Yue. Fu Yue cast his gaze at Su Qingyun several times, but then looked away.
The New Year’s Eve dinner was very sumptuous, filling up the entire table.
When it was time to eat, the family sat down around the round table one after another.
When they sat down, Su Qingyun deliberately picked a seat next to Wen Liang and said, "Add two children's chairs here so Rui'er and Fanfan can sit together."
Wen Liang knew that she didn't want to sit with Fu Yue, so he nodded in agreement.
When Fu Qingyue went downstairs, Fu Shifan had already sat down next to Wen Liang and was talking to Fu Rui.
Her expression was filled with displeasure. As she sat down next to the old lady, she said to Fu Shifan, "Fanfan, come here, grandma!"
Fu Shifan looked up when she heard that and pursed her pink lips, "Grandma, I want to be with my aunt."
Without waiting for Wen Liang to speak, Su Qingyun said, "Aunt, let Fanfan stay here with Rui'er."
Since she used the child as an excuse, she naturally had to speak up for Wen Liang at this time.
Fu Qingyue wanted to say something else, but the old lady pulled her wrist and said with a sullen face, "It's New Year's Eve dinner, so keep your mouth shut."
Fu Qingyue glanced at Wen Liang coldly and said nothing.
During the meal, Fu Yue took the initiative to pick up some food for Su Qingyun, but Su Qingyun didn't even look at it and didn't touch the food he picked up.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the Fu family stayed up together in the living room and played a game of mahjong.
Wen Liang didn't play, but played dice with Fu Shifan at the dining table.
Fu Rui came over to play with Fu Shifan, and the two of them ran to the yard while playing.
Only Wen Liang and Su Qingyun were left at the table.
Wen Liang glanced towards the mahjong table and asked casually, "Sister-in-law, did you have a fight with brother?"
Su Qingyun looked at her in surprise.
Wen Liang smiled and said, "You guys are being too obvious. From afternoon to evening, you haven't spoken more than one hand."
Su Qingyun pulled up his lips, revealing a bitter smile, and shook his head silently.
Seeing that she was unwilling to say, Wen Liang did not ask any further questions.
After a few seconds, Su Qingyun suddenly said, "Aliang, how did you feel when you first found out that your second brother had another woman?"
Wen Liang was surprised. Could it be that Fu Yue had cheated on her?
She recalled her mood at that time. It was just half a year ago, but it seemed like a lifetime ago.
"What kind of feeling... probably a dead heart... I just found out I was pregnant the day before he came back from his business trip, and I was looking forward to him coming back to share the good news, but who knew..." Wen Liang's eyes were unfocused, staring blankly into the distance, muttering softly, and his voice gradually faded away.
She looked away, a relieved smile on her face. "But it's all in the past, so sister-in-law, it's most important to think clearly about what you want. I think brother doesn't want a divorce, right?"
She was burdened by love at that time, and she was even hoping that Fu Zheng would change his mind, so she wasted too much time and suffered more hurt.
A short pain is worse than a long pain.
If she had been able to cut the Gordian knot and divorce Fu Zheng early, perhaps she would not have lost her child, and perhaps her grandfather would not have passed away so suddenly.
Su Qingyun smiled bitterly, his eyes filled with confusion, "Be clear about what you want..."
There was already a thorn in her heart. She couldn't just pretend nothing had happened and continue to live with Fu Yue.
But once they divorce, Fu Rui will definitely stay in the Fu family, but she will have to leave her child.
"I don't know what I want..." She murmured absentmindedly, "Last month, I heard a female voice on his phone. He didn't explain anything and was rather evasive when answering the phone... He never avoided me when answering calls from girls before. I knew all about his female secretary and female friends... I just kept an eye on him until one day, when I smelled another woman's perfume on him, as well as his hair. There were also scratches on his hands and neck that were obviously left by women's nails..."
"After I confronted him, he said he and that woman were innocent... Haha... I asked him who that woman was, but he wouldn't tell me... Does he think I'm a fool?"
It can be heard that Su Qingyun still has feelings for Fu Yue.
But I just can't get over that hurdle in my heart.
In this situation, Wen Liang couldn't make a choice for her, he just felt a little emotional.
When she came to the Fu family, Su Qingyun and Fu Yue were already in love. When Wen Liang was a freshman, they held a romantic and grand wedding, and Wen Liang witnessed it all.
Later, Su Qingyun became pregnant, but she lost the baby. After raising the child for a long time, she gave birth to Fu Rui.
Wen Liang once envied Su Qingyun very much, envied their loving relationship and harmonious and happy family.
Now, cracks are appearing in the harmonious family.
Fu Zheng and Fu Yue, you are truly brothers.
Wen Liang glanced at Fu Zheng at the mahjong table.
Unexpectedly, Fu Zheng also looked over and their eyes met.
Wen Liang immediately looked away.
A smile flashed in Fu Zheng's eyes, and he lowered his eyes and continued playing cards.
"I'll go outside to see Rui'er and Fanfan." Su Qingyun glanced at Wen Liang, stood up and walked out.
"I'm going too."
Wen Liang took a sip of water and stood up.
Suddenly, there was a "bang".
"ah!"
Wen Liang's face wrinkled up, he covered the back of his head, and turned to look at Fu Zheng behind him, "When did you come? You walked without making any sound!"
Fu Zheng covered his chin, his eyes showing a hint of grievance, "How could I know you would suddenly stand up?"
Wen Liang rolled his eyes, rubbed his head, turned around and walked out.
Fu Zheng turned his head to look at her back, then followed her.
There was an activity in the community. Fu Shifan and Fu Rui were no longer in the yard, and Su Qingyun was not there either.
Before Wen Liang reached the gate, Fu Zheng caught up with her and grabbed her wrist, "Aliang."
"What's up?"
"I'm sorry." Fu Zheng whispered.
He heard what she had just said.
The day before he returned from his business trip, she learned of her pregnancy and was looking forward to his return with great joy to share the good news with him.
However, she waited for several hours at the airport but did not see him.
She sat on the sofa and waited until late at night until she fell asleep.
The lights in the living room stayed on for him.
But at that time, he didn't understand what this meant.
Until one day, he returned home and was greeted by darkness.
Wen Liang raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, confused, "What's wrong again?"
Why did you suddenly say sorry?
The warm yellow light in the yard sprinkled on Fu Zheng's cheeks. His tall nose bridge blocked half of the light source like the twilight line, while the other half of his face was hidden in the darkness.
His eyes were extremely dark. He looked at Wen Liang for a long time and shook his head gently. "Nothing. Happy New Year."
Wen Liang: “…”
