"It's about Fu Yihan, my son."
"Fu Yihan is not my son. He is the grandson of my mentor and the son of my savior."
Qian Duoduo raised an eyebrow. "Raising a child for your savior, isn't that a good thing? Why are you...?"
Fu Junmo struck another match with a 'chi' sound and lit a cigarette.
Qian Duoduo frowned, a little confused, but didn't say anything.
"Fu Yihan's grandparents went to the farm during those years, but they didn't make it. My maternal uncle's relatives initially fled abroad, but Huo Yuanyi and... Xiaohan's mother stayed. Yuanyi remained in the army. Once, while we were on a mission, he was injured trying to save me, breaking his spine and becoming paralyzed."
"I--"
Fu Junmo pursed his lips, his pupils reddened, and spoke in pain, "I was just one step late, and that woman pulled out his oxygen tank!!!"
"I... I tried my best to save him! But... but I could only watch him helplessly. He looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't..."
After a long time, Fu Junmo was still immersed in pain.
Qian Duoduo interrupted him, "That woman, is she Xiaohan's mother? She pulled out her man's oxygen tank?"
Fu Junmo's eyes flashed with cruelty, his eyes were red, and he said in a cold voice: "Yes."
After a while, Fu Junmo said with murderous intent: "That woman is so cruel that it is unimaginable, and she hides her true intentions very deeply."
"She said Huo Yuanyi couldn't stand the pain, couldn't stand being unable to serve in the army for the rest of his life, and couldn't get out of bed, so he asked her to remove the oxygen tank."
"Later, as a martyr's relative, she portrayed a patriotic military family member who was willing to continue serving the people. She stayed in the military district family compound and became a positive kindergarten teacher."
"One time, she bought a lot of rice and flour and called me, saying she wanted me to help carry it upstairs."
"I--"
Qian Duoduo narrowed his eyes, "She schemed against you and then married you."
It's a very melodramatic plot, that's how it should be, right?
Fu Junmo has a good family background, is good-looking, rich, powerful and handsome, so it makes sense that he was plotted against...?
He nodded, a gloomy look on his face. "Afterwards, she explained that she had just found out she was pregnant a month ago, and that she was pregnant only a few days before Yuan Yi died. She said that if she said it was Yuan Yi's child, many people wouldn't believe her, and she might even be accused of having an affair. Moreover, she gave birth to the child alone, and life was difficult for a widow raising a child. So she asked me to marry her to leave a descendant for Yuan Yi and the Huo family."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Well, this explanation is good, I think you will believe it."
Fu Junmo nodded. "But how could she hold back her ambition? We agreed that after she gave birth to the child, she would leave it to me. She was unwilling to let me go."
"She's busy every day, playing the role of a virtuous wife. She brings me meals every day and visits my brothers' homes every few days, including my eldest and second sisters' homes, buying all kinds of food for their children."
"Until, she drugged me, climbed... climbed onto my bed, and was sent out." At the end, Fu Junmo's voice was flat but revealed disgust, nausea, and cruelty.
It's quite disgusting.
Fu Junmo would definitely take good care of the widow of his good friend and savior, but this woman was restless and wanted more, and she did such a ridiculous thing.
The mere act of pulling out the oxygen tube was probably enough to make Fu Junmo unforgivable.
No matter what the reason is.
But maybe out of consideration for that friend, he would still take care of his widow. Who would have known that a woman who seemed to be a strong, independent woman would do such a disgusting thing and plot against him?
Qian Duoduo moved to his side, hugged him gently, and patted him gently, "It's all in the past. From now on, I'll be here."
Fu Junmo hugged her tightly, "I can't get over the pit in my heart."
"I'm sorry Huo Yuanyi!"
"Not only did we fail to save him in time, but we also can't let Xiaohan return to his roots. Xiaohan is now the only bloodline of the Huo family."
Qian Duoduo sat next to him, thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Fu Junmo, you just can't forgive yourself, not others. You blame that woman, but you blame yourself even more, right?"
"Are you sure now that your friend had his oxygen tube removed by that woman, or that she murdered him because she didn't want to live with a burden for the rest of her life?"
Fu Junmo narrowed his eyes, still filled with hatred, and said calmly, "It's confirmed. The Huo Yuan family has been able to survive many misfortunes. They're not that fragile. The night before he died, he smiled and asked us to get him a comfortable wheelchair. The next morning, he asked the nurse to make him some milk and chatted with her. After that woman went in, the nurse left. From the time the nurse left until I went over, it took four minutes."
Four minutes?
Qian Duoduo raised his eyebrows in surprise. This possibility, no matter how you look at it, shouldn't be suicide.
My wife went to visit me early in the morning and said she wanted to die. Shouldn't I explain this to her?
"Now, that woman..."
"Dead." Fu Junmo said grimly, and finally added: "Died in a mental hospital. I can't let Xiaohan bear the burden of having a mother who is a murderer."
Qian Duoduo nodded, "It's all in the past. As for Xiaohan, I haven't seen him much, so I don't know what's going on. I think when he's older, I can tell him some half-truths about the situation and ask him to change his surname to Huo."
"Jun Mo, you're very smart. It's just that as an insider, you've trapped yourself in a specific shackle, a cage, living in self-blame and guilt towards Huo Yuanyi, as well as hatred for that woman, so you don't want to think about other things."
"That woman is dead, and Huo Yuanyi has blood. We will raise him and train him carefully. When the time is right, we will tell him about his father and grandparents, or about his mother. It all depends on how well he can handle it."
After finally saying out the things that had been weighing on his mind for so many years, Fu Junmo suddenly felt a clearing in his heart and felt much more relaxed.
He touched her hair lovingly and said, "I just want to tell you that I've been married, but it's also the same as not being married. I'm very innocent."
Qian Duoduo burst out laughing, leaned forward, hugged his neck, and jumped onto his lap.
"Well, maybe I noticed a little bit. My husband is so innocent that he blushes when I kiss him. How can he look like a married man?"
"The past is the past. Don't dwell on things that are not your fault."
As she spoke, doubt flashed in her large almond-shaped eyes, "Is it true that, except for you, no one else knows that Xiaohan is not your child?"
Fu Junmo nodded, "Yes."
Qian Duoduo kissed his forehead and said, "Husband, you've been wronged for so many years. Huo Yuanyi is your friend and savior. Let's raise Xiaohan together and let him stand in front of Huo Yuanyi's grave one day. You can tell him with full pride and without any guilt that you raised his son very well."
