I sat up, reached out to turn on the switch beside the bed, and the room suddenly became bright.
I was also caught off guard and saw him looking so miserable for the first time.
The man who had always been elegant and dignified now had a stubbled chin and sunken eye circles, looking as if he had not slept for days and nights, revealing a decadent look.
What trouble happened to the Fu family that made him so busy?
I frowned slightly, "If you have the time to come see me, you might as well catch up on some sleep."
He hooked his bony index finger around the tie knot and tugged it downwards, a bitter smile forming at the corner of his mouth. "I understand the pain you felt when you lost your child."
I pinched my palms and curled my lips in mockery, "Fu Qichuan, I don't need you to feel my own pain. As long as you always remember that you killed your first child with your own hands, that's enough."
Pain flashed across his dark eyes, his thin lips twitched slightly, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "You... hate me so much?"
"hatred."
I frankly admitted, "I hate you and Fu Jinan. If you feel you owe me or the child the slightest bit, just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with me next month to get a divorce certificate as scheduled."
"……good."
His Adam's apple rolled, he lowered his eyes, and said obscurely, "I'll do as you say."
…
I didn't sleep well that night.
It was clearly a breakup that I finally made, but I always had a feeling it wouldn't end so easily.
This feeling makes me feel uneasy and upset.
But the next day, when I woke up, I got good news.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Shiyan smiled brightly, "Designer Ruan, you really never disappoint me."
"ah?"
I paused while eating my fruit. "Senior, you're in the mood to tease me so early in the morning?"
"If I say, you're the first in the design competition."
Lu Shiyan laughed, "Do you think I'm joking with you?"
"real?!"
I stood up suddenly, my eyes lit up!
This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for me. During this period, I had experienced many ups and downs, and I didn't dare to imagine what ranking I would get.
Lu Shiyan's voice was clear and sweet. "Of course, I was amazed the day I saw your design. After all, the competition still requires a judges' vote, so I didn't dare tell you because I was afraid you would be disappointed."
I said excitedly: "Senior, thank you!"
"Say thank you next time and I'll let you treat me to a meal," he joked.
"Just this time."
He's helped me a lot, so I should treat him to a meal. I smiled and said, "Let's do it later. Do you have time?"
"My pleasure."
Lu Shiyan agreed without hesitation, with barely perceptible joy in his voice.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lai, who was sitting next to him, smiled and asked, "Will you take me with you?"
"Bring it, bring it."
"Senior Lu, you won't think I'm too bright, will you?"
"What are you thinking? He has someone he likes."
I chuckled and immediately expressed my thoughts, "Let's get discharged tomorrow. I don't have much to do anyway, and it's getting boring living here."
Jiang Lai was reluctant at first, but after she and the doctor confirmed that I was fine, she readily agreed.
She is a female sea queen and has been staying with me in the hospital all the time these days. She is also very bored.
"Would you like to go shopping? A huge shopping mall opened a few days ago, claiming to be the largest in Asia."
While packing up, Jiang Lai suddenly suggested that I go out for a walk, so I agreed.
This shopping mall is located in the southern part of the city. Since it is a weekday, there are not many people here at this time.
Jiang Lai had a strong desire to shop and kept dragging me around.
He said that he had finally resigned from his job and wanted to reward himself for having been treated like a slave.
"Look, is that Patek Philippe?"
When passing by a luxury goods counter, she suddenly pointed inside.
I took a look subconsciously and said, "It's her."
He was gesturing at a bag worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, probably intending to buy it.
Fu Qichuan has always been generous to her.
I had no interest in continuing to watch Xia Dong, so I pulled Jiang Lai to leave. Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes, grabbed me and hid behind a cylinder!
I was puzzled and looked at her with a question mark on my face, "???"
She was surprised and said, "You are a fool!"
"What do I do?"
"It was you, Xiaoxiao, who was shopping with that Patek Philippe!" Jiang Lai had a look on his face as if he had just heard something big.
"Isn't this quite normal?"
I smiled and said, "She has been the apple of my eye since she was little."
Even Fu Qichuan couldn't get any fatherly love, as it was all given to Fu Jinan.
Jiang Lai frowned in confusion, then cautiously leaned over to take a look, then retracted his gaze with a look of suspicion. "Patek Philippe is even holding your stepfather's arm. This is the first time I've seen such a good relationship between a stepdaughter and her stepfather."
"Their relationship is probably no less than that of father and daughter."
I'm not interested, and I don't bother caring about anyone in the Fu family other than Grandpa. "Let's go."
Unexpectedly, he had just taken two steps when he was stopped by Fu Jinan!
I don't want to care.
She even caught up with me and looked me up and down, "Are you discharged from the hospital?"
"What does it have to do with you?"
I said unhappily.
She immediately turned her head and looked at me, pouting, "Dad! Look, I'm so kind and concerned about her, but she still has this attitude."
Jiang Lai rolled her eyes. I pulled her behind me, and then I heard my voice coming over, acting like an elder. "I heard that you and Qi Chuan are getting a divorce?"
"Yes, we'll be leaving next month."
I answered truthfully.
When I learned that my son and daughter-in-law were getting a divorce, I couldn't hide my joy and urged them, "Okay, okay, since you want to get a divorce, just do it quickly!"
"Our Ruan Ruan also wants to do it quickly, it's your son who is unwilling to do it!"
Jiang Lai thought he was urging me to make room for Fu Jinan. After deliberately provoking me, he sneered, "What the hell, what kind of father are you? You're so eager for your son to get divorced?"
My daughter's usually frivolous expression straightened up. "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? They can't make ends meet, so are they blaming me? I just want them to find their own happiness as soon as possible."
"You found so many and exchanged so many..."
Jiang Lai's eyes moved, and she glanced at Fu Jinan, and raised her red lips, "Could it be that you are attracted to your stepdaughter now?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Fu Jinan's face changed, his eyes widened with anger, and he complained to me again, "Dad! Look at her!"
Jiang Lai was so angry that he couldn't bear it anymore. He smiled and said, "You wouldn't yell like that in bed or out of bed, would you?"
“…”
“…”
The father and daughter both looked so ugly that water could be squeezed out of them. Jiang Lai happily pulled me into the supermarket.
As she threw snacks into the shopping cart, she asked, "What exactly is your relationship with Patek Philippe?"
"have no idea."
"Anyway, they're definitely not just any ordinary stepfather and stepdaughter."
Jiang Lai's eyes suddenly lit up, "You said, these two can't be..."
