Chapter 225: Clear Water, No Fish
Fu Zhengming had no talent for business; it was something he couldn't learn. He could run a small business, but his meager abilities weren't enough for a wealthy family like the Fu family. He could only silently feel guilty towards his eldest son.
When Lu Ying received a call from her eldest son, she immediately asked the driver to take her to the hospital. She stayed by Yan Nuo's side and accompanied him.
Lu Ying was very happy that Yan Nuo had found his relatives. "Maybe this is fate. The old lady's granddaughter turned out to be you. The old lady also likes Shang Bei very much."
Yan Nuo nodded, she also felt that this was a kind of fate.
"Come, have some fruit." Lu Ying cut an apple into small pieces and stuck them with toothpicks to make it easier for her daughter-in-law to pick up and eat.
Fu Shangbei and his father Fu Zhengming were sitting on the sofa next to them, looking at the two of them with a smile.
Fu Zhengming touched his stomach and said, "Madam, I'm a little hungry. Can you give me a piece?"
"There are apples on the coffee table. Eat them yourself if you're hungry. You're already so old, how dare you fight with your daughter-in-law for food?"
Fu Zhengming felt very aggrieved. How could he have wanted to snatch food from his daughter-in-law? He was a patient. His son and his friends had just drugged him. Now he couldn't even eat a piece of apple cut by his wife. His status in the family had plummeted.
"Dad, which kind of apple do you want to eat, green or red?" Seeing that his old father was disliked, Fu Shangbei raised his eyebrows and decided to pamper his old father.
Fu Zhengming was moved when he heard his son's words. Sons are the best. Only men know how to care for other men.
"I want to eat green ones. Green apples look more refreshing. I'm feeling a little down right now, so this is perfect for me."
Fu Shangbei picked a round green apple and went to the bathroom to wash and cut it.
Lu Ying glanced at her husband lying on the sofa, "Why are you in a bad mood? The boss said that Song Qinghe treats you as a friend, and your love has not been in vain."
"Hmph, you believed what he said? After this incident, we won't be able to sit down calmly anymore. Maybe we'll never see each other again." Relationships between people are so fragile.
He understood Song Qinghe's desire for revenge, and Song Qinghe only targeted Fu Zhengpeng and had never hurt him.
But cracks inevitably appeared in the friendship between the two. How could Song Qinghe not have plotted against him?
When Song Qinghe first approached him, wasn't it to plot against the Fu family?
Fu Zhengming's emotional cleanliness is very serious. He longs for the things he cherishes to be free from any worldly considerations. For example, his love for Lu Ying has remained the same for decades. He only has eyes for her, and no other interests can be put before her.
He also cherishes his friendship with Song Qinghe, but this friendship has now become tainted.
As a wife, Lu Ying naturally understood her husband's temperament. His pure heart was rare, but it could also hurt him. Lu Ying said, "When the water is too clear, there will be no fish."
Fu Zhengming understood it but pretended not to understand.
Lu Ying said to Yan Nuo, who was looking at them with sparkling eyes, "Don't be like your dad. No one is perfect. Everyone has flaws. And if you don't take care of yourself, heaven and earth will punish you. If you hold everyone to the same high standards as you hold yourself, you'll never find any friends. Your dad's only true friend for all these years was Song Qinghe. Now, when Song Qinghe shows some minor flaws, he can't stand it and is upset."
Fu Zhengming didn't expect his wife to use him as a negative example, and he immediately became dissatisfied: "Ying'er, friends are more about quality than quantity. Who can be like me, who only has one friend, and who has never had a quarrel or an argument?"
"Yeah, you and I have both had arguments, but not with Song Qinghe. But now, don't you also have a grudge against him?"
"What he did was really too much. He kept it a secret so thoroughly. I feel uncomfortable!"
"How can I feel comfortable in my heart?"
Fu Zhengming was speechless. He got up and went into the bathroom to cut apples with his son.
Yan Nuo couldn't help laughing, looking at Lu Ying and said, "Mom, you are so smart."
On the surface, I was making fun of my father, but in fact, I was helping him to see his feelings towards his friends.
