Chapter 557 I Bet You Won't Be Able to Stay Long
At this time, Qiao Yunxue had no choice but to do as she was told. If she didn't persuade others, others would only say that she was inconsiderate and narrow-minded, and that it was she who instigated Fu Shanzhan's changes.
Qiao Yunxue pulled Fu Shanzhan's arm and said to him in a low voice, "Stop making trouble."
Fu Shanzhan looked back at her, moved his lips, but didn't say anything.
There was surprise and confusion in his eyes, which finally turned into grievance.
Qiao Yunxue felt a pang of pain in her heart. "...I mean, if you have anything to say in private, don't make it unpleasant today, as it's a holiday."
Her voice was noticeably softer, as if soothing and coaxing.
Fu Shanzhan was easy to coax. As soon as Qiao Yunxue's attitude changed, he immediately calmed down. He stood up and bowed to everyone in the living room. "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm a love-brained person. I get easily irritated when it comes to my wife. I apologize."
"It's just a small matter." Fu Shanzhan took the initiative to apologize, and the elders naturally didn't care. "It's a good thing to love your wife. It's not a big deal."
This little episode passed quickly. It was New Year's Day and no one wanted to cause any unpleasantness.
…
After lunch, the elders went to the chess and card room to play mahjong. Qiao Yunxue did not go with them and went upstairs to rest.
Fu Shanzhan wanted to accompany her back, but Qiao Yunxue disagreed and asked him to accompany his elders.
Qiao Yunxue couldn't sleep while lying in bed. She put her head on her stomach, touched her bulging belly, and thought about her current situation. She had no idea what to do.
I was tired and felt dizzy from eating. I don’t know when I fell asleep.
When Qiao Yunxue woke up again, it was already dark outside. She picked up her phone and saw that it was already past five o'clock.
Looking down from the floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom, the cars that were parked outside have all left, which means the guests must have left.
She rubbed her sore shoulders. She had a very deep sleep.
Qiao Yunxue went to the bathroom to wash her face, walked to the bedroom door, and prepared to go out.
Just as her hand covered the door handle, she heard footsteps outside and Fu Qingyun's serious words: "Third brother, come with me to the study."
Immediately afterwards, Fu Shanzhan said "Oh" and the footsteps became farther and farther away.
Qiao Yunxue tightened her grip on the door handle, sweat forming on her palms.
Her intuition told her that Fu Qingyun must have come to Fu Shanzhan because of what happened today, and once they talked about this topic, she would definitely be involved.
Qiao Yunxue pursed her lips, gently opened the door, and looked out. The corridor was empty.
Her gaze drifted towards the study, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she walked over with light steps - sometimes people are just so mean that they can't get along with themselves. Even though they know that some words will make them uncomfortable, they just can't help but want to hear them.
The sound insulation in the study is okay, but no matter how good the sound insulation is, you can still hear it clearly if you lie on the door panel.
…
In the room.
Fu Shanzhan followed Fu Qingyun to the desk, watched him sit down, and asked bluntly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Fu Qingyun got angry when he heard the impatience in his words, "You're going to be a father soon, when will you learn to be more steady? Do you look like a father now?"
Fu Shanzhan: "What's it like to be a father? Like you, you keep interfering in your children's affairs all day long. For the sake of so-called face, you have to wrong the person you love the most - I don't have such a person."
"I think you want to piss me off to death!" Fu Qingyun almost slammed the table, but the second before his hand dropped, he remembered that Qiao Yunxue was still resting upstairs, so he stopped in time.
Fu Qingyun took a breath and said to Fu Shanzhan, "The relatives came to visit us today to wish us a happy new year. They were just chatting casually and didn't mean anything serious. You came up and embarrassed everyone. Where are your manners?"
"If they don't bring up Lin Muyue and me, will I embarrass them?" Fu Shanzhan remained unmoved. "Xuexue is pregnant and is naturally very sensitive. I will definitely put her feelings first. I won't let my wife suffer for outsiders."
"Do you think she won't feel wronged if you do this?" Fu Qingyun commented, "You're childish."
Fu Shanzhan: "If I knew you would let Lin Muyue come today, I would have taken her back."
Fu Qingyun frowned. "The thing between you and Mu Yue was just a joke between you two elders when you were kids. You can just explain it to Xiaoxue. Mu Yue has never had any conflicts with her, so it's not that serious."
Fu Shanzhan: "I think it's quite necessary - Oh, by the way, if you assign me any work with Lin Muyue after the New Year, I will quit."
"I think you've lost your mind!" Fu Qingyun couldn't stand it any longer and slapped him on the forehead. His blood pressure was soaring. "You're really in love! You two are really—"
One is jealous of everything, the other is accommodating without any bottom line. It's okay to be like this when you are in love, but how can a couple live like this?
If my wife is unhappy today, I will scold the elders. If she cares tomorrow, I will quit my job.
Is this living life or playing house?
That's it, what's the point of having a child?!
"You've just had too many good lives. You've become spoiled." After reaching out, Fu Qingyun resorted to a simpler, more drastic approach: "Your work schedule won't change. If you dare resign, I'll suspend all your credit cards and dividends."
In his opinion, Fu Shanzhan did this because he had never lacked money since he was a child. He wanted him to experience how difficult it is to make money so that he would know how to cherish his job.
"Stop if you want. I'll go out and find a job and we can still make a living." Fu Shanzhan would rather die than surrender.
Fu Qingyun was amused by his naive words and asked sharply, "How do you plan to live? The villa you two live in and the car you drive now are all bought by your family. With your education and work ability, you can only earn 7,000 or 8,000 yuan at best if you go out and find a job. Do you know how much a decent house in North City rents per month? You want to support her and the unborn child by working on your own? It's unbelievable!"
"I don't mind if life is hard with her," said Fu Shanzhan.
Fu Qingyun: "You don't mind suffering, but why should Xiaoxue suffer with you? Her parents gave their daughter to you so that you can bear the hardship for her?"
Fu Shanzhan was left speechless by the question.
Fu Qingyun: "Think about it carefully. With your immature thinking, I dare say you won't be able to leave for long."
…
Outside the door, Qiao Yunxue pulled the corners of her mouth awkwardly after hearing this.
She took a step back, turned around, and stumbled back to the bedroom.
Qiao Yunxue sat on the sofa, stroking her chest and breathing heavily, and Fu Qingyun's words just now kept echoing in her mind.
yes.
She and Fu Shanzhan are now supported by the Fu family. She has no job and although she has savings given by her parents, she has basically never touched them.
No wonder Fu Qingyun values Lin Muyue so much.
Between a daughter-in-law who has no job and no ambition and a daughter-in-law who has outstanding work ability and is ambitious, he certainly appreciates the latter more.
