"I'll be right down."
When I heard the news, my heart skipped a beat and I immediately agreed.
Jiang Lai saw that I looked unhappy and asked, "What happened to him?"
As I packed my things, I replied, "My aunt is critically ill. I have to hurry to Jiangcheng."
Thinking of Shen Xingyu's methods, I even began to doubt whether it was because of the worsening of her condition that she was critically ill, or because of my involvement.
"Critically ill?"
Jiang Lai made a decision immediately. "Fu Qichuan is coming to pick you up, right? Well, don't bother packing. Leave these to me. I'll finish the work here this afternoon. You can go ahead and I'll take these things with me when I leave."
I was so anxious that I didn't hesitate any longer. "Okay, Lai Lai, thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Lai handed me a power bank and a phone and pushed me out. "Why bother? This is my job as the marketing director. Besides, I'm a shareholder, so I'm working for myself."
Nancy, I asked Jiang Lai to join me and gave her a share of the company.
I nodded, "Then I'll go first!"
…
When he went downstairs, Fu Qichuan's car just stopped slowly in the parking lot.
The driver came down and opened the door.
I sat in the back seat and saw him leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed.
I was also very happy and turned my head to look out the window.
The car was eerily quiet throughout the journey.
When my thoughts were drifting away, Fu Qichuan said in a faint voice: "Don't get involved in Jingcheng's affairs anymore."
"It's none of your business."
I didn't even look up, my attitude was cold.
Fu Qichuan was displeased. "Do you think that with a paternity test, you can marry into the Zhou family with Zhou Fang?"
"How do you know this?"
I turned my head abruptly, meeting his dark eyes with confusion.
This incident just happened this morning, and not many people know about it.
Zhou Fang wouldn't tell anyone, and the Shen family wanted to keep this matter secret more than anyone else, fearing that I would find fault with them.
Fu Qichuan stared at me, his thin lips moving, "I know even better, there is no possibility for you and him."
I squeezed my palms and looked away calmly, "There's no chance of you and me being together."
"Nanzhi..."
His tone suddenly softened. "We've been together for three years, and it's not like we haven't had some warm days, right?"
"If you say yes, then yes."
I lowered my eyes and smiled.
If he cares about my wishful thinking in the past, his perfunctory attitude is called warmth.
Then I don't want to argue.
It was also the first time I realized that when you have completely given up on someone, even refutation becomes tiring.
Fu Qichuan sneered, "Is Zhou Fang so good?"
Without hesitation, I said, "Yes."
In fact, I haven’t thought about how my relationship with Zhou Fangyu will be these past two days.
More thoughts are on their own life experience.
But no matter what happens to Zhou Fang and me in the future, he is very good.
He protects me and respects me more than anyone else.
If I have to say something, in Fu Qichuan's eyes, I was a weed that could withstand wind and rain, and it didn't matter what happened to me.
Later, he treated me like a rose in a greenhouse, and everything he did seemed to be for my own good, without caring about my wishes and thoughts at all.
But in front of Zhou Fang.
I am a sunflower. He considers everything for me, but also respects my wishes. He analyzes the pros and cons for me and allows me to grow hard towards the sun.
And I have always wanted to be a sunflower.
Don't be a weed, and don't be a rose.
Hearing my direct and firm answer, Fu Qichuan's eyes dimmed rarely, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line. After a moment of silence, he whispered: "If I become him, is there a possibility for us?"
I was stunned for a moment, "What?"
He shook his head lightly and said calmly, "Nothing."
But the obsession in his eyes is very deep.
…
When we arrived at Sacred Heart Hospital, the medical staff had just come out of the emergency room.
The dean walked up to us and shook his head helplessly. "Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu, we tried our best, but the condition is deteriorating too quickly. The doctors are really powerless to help."
I asked, "Is it just a simple worsening of the condition?"
The dean nodded, "Yes."
My heart sank to the bottom, and my eyes couldn't help but moisten. "Can you think of another way? Any way is fine, no matter how much it costs..."
Even though I knew that I was from the Shen family and had no blood relationship with my aunt.
But in comparison, my aunt is the person who has given me the most company.
The dean sighed, "You mentioned this. President Fu has already explained it. We have exhausted all possible means. The medical expenses during this period have all been paid by President Fu."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work..."
As I said this, I subconsciously glanced at Fu Qichuan, "Thank you too."
These days, I see there is still money in my aunt's medical account, and the hospital hasn't reminded her to pay the bill.
I thought it was enough.
Unexpectedly, the one who left was Fu Qichuan's account.
Fu Qichuan said softly, "Let's go see my aunt first."
"Um!"
Just then, the nurse pushed my aunt out of the emergency room.
After arriving at the ward, my aunt woke up soon.
When she saw me, a smile appeared on her pale face, "Nanzhi, you're here..."
I felt a little guilty. I had been so busy with my own affairs recently that I hadn't paid any attention to my aunt. "Aunt, your health is so poor. Why did you lie to me and say you were fine when I called you last time?"
During the Chinese New Year, I called my aunt.
"It's Chinese New Year, why should I make you worry?"
My aunt patted my hands and said, "Besides, I've lived enough. Whether I live or die, I can accept it openly."
Tears fell from my eyes, I turned my head away and wiped them away, "Where's Lin Feng? Why isn't he here?"
“He…”
My aunt gave a bitter smile and said, "He hasn't come to see me for a long time. If it weren't for you and Qi Chuan, I would have died long ago."
"aunt……"
I looked at my aunt, who was barely breathing, and stood up and said, "I'll call him and ask him to come over."
My aunt held me back, her disappointment etched in her voice, "Nanzhi, forget it. I'll just pretend I never gave birth to him. Sometimes, even between parents and children, it's all about fate. When it's time to part, it will."
I held my aunt's hand and said, "It's okay...it's okay. You still have me, aunt. You still have me."
"Yeah, thank goodness I have you."
My aunt sighed, glanced at Fu Qichuan standing behind me, and advised me: "Silly girl, I can see that Qichuan cares about you very much. You must cherish the person in front of you and don't end up like me, lying alone in a hospital bed."
"Don't worry."
Fu Qichuan, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke in a deep voice, "No matter what, I will take good care of Nanzhi."
At this critical juncture, I didn't want to make my aunt unhappy, so I didn't refute or respond.
"With your words, I feel relieved."
My aunt smiled kindly, her strength seemingly draining away bit by bit. She looked at my neck and asked, "Where's the jade pendant? Are you wearing it?"
"Yes, I do. You see, I've been wearing it carefully."
I took it out from my collar, looked at my aunt, and finally spoke hesitantly: "Aunt, uncle was not just saying that in anger before. I... am indeed not a child of the Ruan family, right?"
