Chapter 228 Shang Bei and Nuonuo return home at midnight
Lu Ying held him like a child and patted his head, "It's all over."
"Yes, it's all in the past, but I just can't let it go. You said Fu Zhengpeng was a good person and had contributed to the Fu family, so I didn't mind it. But he has nothing. He only knows how to be jealous and almost killed our eldest son. From childhood to adulthood, when I was in school, he never attended a parent-teacher meeting. It was always my mother who attended.
When you and I got married, Fu Zhengpeng and Zhang Pingling specially arranged the wedding date before ours, and he devoted all his energy to preparing for their wedding. When I went to give him the invitation, the look on his face, as if he had just found out that I was getting married, was something I will never forget.
Madam, I feel so wronged. I feel that I have been bound by the so-called filial piety for half of my life. Because he is my father, no matter what he does, I have to be tolerant and understanding of him.
I... I really don't like myself like this. I don't want to be like this anymore. I don't want my son to be like this either. Coward!
Fu Zhengming hugged his wife, leaned his face against her waist, and cried with snot and tears.
No matter how Lu Ying tried to persuade him, it was useless; he still wanted to cry.
After so many years of marriage, even on the day his mother-in-law passed away, he had never broken down to this extent.
There was no other way, Lu Ying had to call Fu Shangbei.
When the phone rang, Fu Shangbei had been sleeping in bed with Yan Nuo in his arms for half an hour. The vibration of the phone woke them both up.
Yan Nuo opened her eyes dazedly. Fu Shangbei patted her back gently and said, "The phone is ringing."
Yan Nuo nodded, "You answer it."
Fu Shangbei said "hmm", stood up and took the mobile phone on the table, scanned the caller ID, and found that it was his mother calling.
"Who is it?" Yan Nuo was a little curious when she saw the man's expression change.
"It's my mom calling." Fu Shangbei sat back on the bed with his phone, hugged Yan Nuo, and answered the call.
"Mom, why are you calling me so late? Is there something wrong?"
"Your dad is crying, and I can't comfort him. I'm going to ask you to find a solution."
Lu Ying’s words stunned the young couple.
Fu Shangbei asked in surprise, "Why is Dad crying?"
"When we came back from the hospital, your grandfather came running to the door. I don't know what he said to your father, but your father was very sad. He was in a very low mood during dinner. At night, he didn't sleep at all. He hid away, drank, and cried."
Fu Shangbei's heart tightened. "Is Dad still drinking? Don't let him drink anymore. His liver is not in good condition."
"Yes, I also wanted to stop him from drinking, but he was still crying." Lu Ying put the phone next to her husband's face, and the crying sound reached the ears of Fu Shangbei and Yan Nuo.
Yan Nuo looked at Fu Shangbei and said, "Let's go home now. Otherwise, Dad's drinking all the time is not good for his health."
"Are you coming back?" Lu Ying was surprised to hear Yan Nuo's words.
"Yes, Mom, stop Dad first and try not to let him drink. We will go home now."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Lu Ying had no other choice but to look forward to their return.
"I'll be back, you continue sleeping." Fu Shangbei gently touched his wife's hair.
"No, let's go back together. Dad is heartbroken this time and needs our comfort. Husband, if there's one more person to comfort Dad, it will be easier for him to recover."
"I'll listen to you." Fu Shangbei got out of bed, opened the wardrobe and took out a coat for Yan Nuo to put on.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at their parents' residence.
When Lu Ying heard the sound of a car engine, she hurried out to meet them.
"Mom, is Dad still crying?" Yan Nuo asked.
Lu Ying nodded with red eyes, "The more he cries, the more anxious I get. I'm afraid he'll become depressed."
"No, Mom, Dad just had a temporary emotional breakdown. Let's stay with him, he will be fine." Yan Nuo comforted Lu Ying while walking up the stairs with her pregnant belly and Lu Ying's support to go to the study to see Fu Zhengming.
Seeing that his wife was being taken care of by his mother, Fu Shangbei felt relieved and ran into the study first and snatched the wine glass from his father's hand.
"Ying'er, leave me alone and let me be willful for once."
The wine was taken away, and Fu Zhengming thought it was his wife. He lowered his head and murmured something weakly.
Fu Shangbei casually threw the bottle onto the sofa, bent down and hugged his father's upper body, and said softly, "Dad, it's me."
Fu Zhengming's whole body stiffened and he raised his head in shock. This strange embrace made his drunken brain sober up a little.
Blinking, he said confusedly, "Am I imagining this? The boss actually hugged me."
Hearing this, Fu Shangbei felt distressed for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "No fantasy, I'm just holding you. Dad, don't drink anymore, it's bad for your health. Mom, me, and Nuonuo are all worried about you."
Fu Zhengming couldn't even imagine that he and his eldest son would have such an intimate moment, so he felt like he was dreaming.
"Dad, I'm sorry." After saying that, Fu Shangbei raised his hand, touched his father's thigh, and pinched the flesh hard.
Fu Zhengming: “Ah~~~~”
