Chapter 38 Don’t Go
byMr. Fu's words were like thunder on the ground, exploding in Fu's house, and the disappointment and anger in it, if they had any substance, hit everyone present.
Fu Jianting, who originally wanted to defend himself, was speechless for a while, but suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Qiu, and after a long time, he struggled to say, "Stomach cancer?"
Fu Chenze also had a shocked expression on his face. He raised his head to meet the eyes of Mr. Fu, only to feel his face turn red and turn white.
Lu Ruan, on the other hand, seemed to have been taken out of his soul, after a while he stumbled up and walked towards Yan Qiu, half bent over to hold his hand to have a look.
However, Yan Qiu dodged calmly before touching her.
Mr. Fu looked at her pretentious appearance, and said impatiently, "Okay, don't play any mother-child love scenes right now, sit back."
Lu Ruan was already uncomfortable, but when he heard Mr. Fu's words, his eyes turned red, and he quickly explained: "Dad, no, I really just found out, and I feel sorry for Xiaoqiu too."
Mr. Fu was overwhelmed with anger today. Hearing what she said, he said without hesitation: "My heart hurts? What did you do long ago?"
"I, I've been taking care of Jianting in the hospital these days."
"He only lived in the hospital for three days, what about the rest of the time? Are you taking care of him? Have you thought about Xiaoqiu these days?"
"I..." Lu Ruan was so blocked by Mr. Fu that he couldn't say a word, so he could only hold back his tears in embarrassment, and sat back where he was.
Looking at their family, Mr. Fu never felt as chilled as he was at this moment.
"Since retiring, your mother and I have been living in the old house for these years, and we haven't asked much about your lives. After all, you are all in their tens of years. I thought it would be impossible to be close, right from wrong, but I didn't expect..."
Mr. Fu seemed to be annoyed when he said this, and the hand that pointed at Fu Jianting trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Yan Qiu quickly raised his hand and patted Mr. Fu on the back, giving him comfort, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, stop talking, don't be angry."
Hearing this, Mr. Fu looked down at him, took his hand, and patted it distressedly.
Then he continued: "No, I have to say, my grandson has been wronged so much, if I don't say it, who else can say it?"
When Yan Qiu heard these words, his heart seemed to be scratched lightly by something, which made his nose sore, and he wanted to cry.
But soon he packed up his emotions and forcefully forced back the tears.
He can't cry.
At least you can't cry in front of the Fu family.
So just lowered head, leaned against grandfather quietly, and listened to grandfather's continuation.
"Jianting, your mother and I only have you as a child. Your mother has spoiled you since she was a child, and raised you selfishly and indifferently, with eyes above the top. I know all this, but your indifference to other people is also unreasonable."That's all, it's the same for your own children, so what's the difference between them and beasts?"
"Have you checked how much Xiaoqiu has suffered in living abroad for twenty years? Have you cared about it? Shuangchi set fire to the snow field to burn him to death. Did you say a word for him? You were so angry that Shen Ze was hospitalized,I went to see you once just thinking about him, but he was hospitalized for such a major operation, do you know?"
Fu Jianting's face was ashen when he was told, but he couldn't refute it with a single sentence, so he could only hang his head halfway and listen in silence.
"Grandpa, you can't blame Dad entirely." Fu Chenze also knew that they were wronged in this matter, but he still felt a little uncomfortable seeing Mr. Fu protecting Yan Qiu so much, and after thinking about it for a while, he figured out the joints.
Didn't Yan Qiu deliberately not tell them, he did the operation quietly, and notified his grandfather after he was discharged from the hospital, so that he could stand on the moral high ground to blame them and win sympathy from his grandfather.
It's mean as hell.
Mr. Fu heard Fu Chenze call him, turned his head, and then heard Fu Chenze say: "We were all in the hospital at the time, and Yan Qiu left without saying a word, and he didn't take the initiative to tell us about it, he didn't think about it at all.Let us know about this..."
"Then why doesn't he want you to know?" Mr. Fu interrupted him and asked back.
Fu Chenze was so blocked by Mr. Fu that he was speechless.
"because……"
"Because I know none of you care about him at all."
Fu Chenze opened his mouth and was completely silent.
"Sigh." Old Master Fu sighed, and looked at him with disappointment, "Shen Ze, I know that when you were young, your parents were busy and you were alone, so you have a deep affection for Shuangchi, and you have been inseparable from him since childhood."
Hearing what old master Fu said, Fu Chenze instantly remembered the days when he and Fu Shuangchi grew up together, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.
However, before he could express his emotions, he heard Mr. Fu change the subject, and his tone suddenly became serious, "But whether you are related by blood or not, you have grown up together since childhood. For at least the first twenty years, you only regarded him as your younger brother., I hope you will still be like this in the future."
Fu Chenze knew that his grandfather already knew this, and his face turned red for a while, but he couldn't explain it, after all, what the old man said was the truth.
"What's more, he is no longer the kid he used to be. Don't you guys still see clearly what happened in the snow field? Can he set fire to kill people today? What can he do tomorrow?"
"Dad, we knew we were wrong." After all, Lu Ruan still felt sorry for his son, and apologized on Fu Chenze's behalf.
"Know your mistake? Hmph." Mr. Fu snorted coldly, "You really should know your mistake. Most people know that they are not their own children. Who is not walking on thin ice and trembling with fear? Only he is so bold that he actually wants to solve this matter by killing people. Why?Is it because you know that your hearts are biased, relying on your love and Shen Ze's selfishness, you feel that even if Xiao Qiu is killed, he will have nothing!"
Mr. Fu's words were too sharp, and every sentence went straight to their hearts, making Lu Ruan a little breathless.
But she still felt it was unfair to put all this on them, so she wanted to explain, "Dad, we didn't..."
"No?" Mr. Fu became even angrier, "Do you really think I'm an idiot? Do you think I don't know anything when I stay in the old house every day? If the Li family didn't intervene in this matter, you really can't help it, right?We have to find a way to save that beast and continue to harm the Fu family!"
Lu Ruan remembered that Fu Shuangchi had just had an accident and she had indeed thought about it, she was completely dumb, and didn't dare to say anything.
Mr. Fu has worked hard in the mall all his life, so he naturally knows that many things will not change much just because of his few words.
So he sighed, and said to them: "At my age, I don't want to care about it. After all, you and your wife are almost fifty years old. I can still care about you for the rest of your life? But now, I don't care.I can't."
As Mr. Fu said, he said to Yan Qiu, "Xiao Qiu, go and pack your luggage."
Yan Qiu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and looked up at Mr. Fu.
Then I heard him say: "Come back to the old house with me."
Before Yan Qiu could answer, Lu Ruan had already stood up, "Dad, this won't work."
"What's wrong? Don't come with me and stay with you and continue to suffer?"
Fu Jianting also opened his mouth when he heard this, "Dad, this is his home, how can it be called suffering?"
"Yes, Dad." Lu Ruan was so anxious that her eyes turned red, then turned her head to look at Yan Qiu, and said sadly: "We were negligent to Xiao Qiu before, I will try my best to make up for it, he just finished the operation, don’t run away, I will definitely take good care of him.”
"You don't need to take care of her. Think about it these days." Mr. Fu rejected her without hesitation.
As he spoke, he said to Yan Qiu again: "Xiao Qiu, go pack your luggage, grandpa is waiting for you here."
Seeing this, Fu Jianting also stood up, "Dad, we really knew we were wrong, but you have to give us a chance to make up for it. You just took Xiaoqiu away like this, and we feel bad."
Mr. Fu looked at him, and said coldly: "You really should feel bad."
In fact, Yan Qiu came back this time to pack his luggage.
After the operation, he had some money left in his hands, which was enough for him to rent a not-so-good house.
Then he went to fetch the raccoon cat back and they formed a small family together.
But didn't expect grandpa to appear here, and he even let out a sigh of relief for him.
Yan Qiu recalled that it was the same in the previous life, and only his grandfather in the entire Fu family had a sincere heart for him.
The words of refusal suddenly became unspoken.
He was originally like a hedgehog, so strong that he was invincible, but as long as someone stood in front of him, Yan Qiu would unconsciously unfold his body, revealing his belly, and even the thorns on his body seemed to soften.
So he decided to listen to his grandfather and wanted to go upstairs to pack his luggage.
However, before he took a few steps, he saw Lu Ruan striding over to stop him.
"Xiaoqiu." Lu Ruan seemed very sad, as soon as he opened his mouth, tears poured down his face.
"It's your mother's fault. Your mother doesn't know that you are sick, and she doesn't know that you just finished the operation. Mom really doesn't care enough for you. Mom knows it's wrong. Is the wound healed? Does it still hurt?"
Yan Qiu looked at her appearance with pear blossoms and rain, without the slightest ups and downs in his heart, he just replied indifferently: "It's ready."
Lu Ruan felt even more uncomfortable when he heard it, and stretched out his hand as if wanting to pull him, but no surprise, Yan Qiu avoided him again.
Lu Ruan's hand just stopped in mid-air, and he didn't take it back for a long time. Seeing his indifference to him, he burst into tears, "I'm sorry, can you give mom a chance to make up for it? Let me take good care of you. I'm really sorry, littleAutumn."
"Yes." Seeing this, Fu Jianting also came over, "During this time, you should cultivate yourself at home first, and we will take good care of you. Don't bother your grandparents."
If it was Yan Qiu who had just returned from the previous life, he would probably have been moved by such a scene and believed in their promises and guarantees.
But after two lifetimes, he really knows these people too well.
I learned that I couldn't even force myself to act with them.
What takes care of him, makes up for him, compensates him?
It's just to clear up your guilt.
When their little bit of guilt dissipates, everything will go back to the old way.
They'll blame themselves why didn't they tell them?They will feel that he is selling miserably in front of grandpa and sowing discord between them and grandpa.
Their guilt is always only momentary.
Their selfish indifference has been with them from life to life.
"Xiaoqiu." Lu Ruan was crying so much that she couldn't help herself, she stretched out her hand to support Fu Jianting who was next to her, and managed to stand still, "Don't go, let mom take good care of you, okay?"
Yan Qiu didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.
Lu Ruan cried for a long time, but Yan Qiu still didn't respond, her dark pupils were like pure glass, reflecting herself in a state of embarrassment.
For some reason, Lu Ruan felt for a moment that she was a bit like a clown on stage in front of Yan Qiu.
So she stopped her tears little by little, and turned her head to look at Fu Jianting as if asking for help.
Fu Jianting naturally understood what she meant, and said, "Xiaoqiu..."
However, before he finished speaking, Yan Qiu interrupted him, "Please let me go, I will pack my luggage."
"You!" Seeing his attitude like this, Fu Jianting's original guilt was gradually replaced by anger.
Why is this kid so clueless?
"Can't we take care of you?" Fu Jianting asked.
There were some things that Yan Qiu didn't bother to say, after all, talking to them was tantamount to playing the piano against a cow, and it was a waste of effort.
But Fu Jianting had already shown that he didn't know what was good or bad on his face, and Yan Qiu felt that he still had to let out a sigh of relief.
"Take care of me? Do you really want to take care of me? Or do you just want to clear up your guilt?"
Fu Jianting: "What do you mean by that?"
"I mean……"
Yan Qiu changed his tone and said unhurriedly: "The reason you insist on taking care of me now is because you just found out that I had undergone stomach cancer surgery, and you feel sorry for it. You made this decision to make yourself feel better. You really want to take care of me.Me? In the end, it’s just for yourselves.”
The tears on Lu Ruan's face had completely dried up, and she looked at him in disbelief with her eyes open, as if she had been hurt by him.
But Yan Qiu knew that it was just an appearance.
So he looked at the couple standing in front of him, and calmly said again: "Please let me go, you are blocking me to pack my luggage."
The moment he walked out of Fu's house, Yan Qiu felt refreshed like never before.
It was the first time he had seen them so deflated.
The driver came over and took the luggage from him and put it away, then opened the car door for him and grandpa.
After getting into the car, as soon as I sat down, I heard my grandfather say: "I asked my aunt to make some nourishing soup, you can go back and drink some."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Yan Qiu immediately replied obediently.
"You're welcome." Mr. Fu said, turning to look at him.
The young man had just finished the operation, his face was pale and exhausted, his coat was empty on his body, and he was dry and thin, like a half-withered young poplar.
Mr. Fu has read Yan Qiu's information and knows that he has had a hard time these years.
I thought that Fu Jianting and the others would feel guilty and cherish him as much as they did themselves, but they didn't.
Fu Jianting had been trying every means to keep the matter of Fu Shuangchi from him, so he only found out about it not long ago.
But at that time, Fu Shuangchi had already been arrested, and it looked like he would spend at least ten years in prison. Although Mr. Fu was heartbroken, he also knew that this was his retribution.
Judging from the results of the handling, Fu Jianting and the others haven't reached the point where they can't distinguish between right and wrong, so Mr. Fu didn't say anything.
He thought they would feel more guilty and make up for Yan Qiu because of this incident.
However, they didn't expect that they would do things like this.
Looking at the ever-changing scenery outside the car window, Yan Qiu was actually not at peace.
Although he knew that grandpa was on his side, grandma didn't like him, so he actually didn't know if it was a wise decision to go back to the old house?
Mr. Fu seemed to see through his thoughts, and suddenly said: "Shuangchi's incident has hit your grandma very hard. She has been ill recently, and will not trouble you."
Hearing this, Yan Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he suddenly remembered a question he wanted to ask just now, "Grandpa, how do you know I just had the surgery?"
After all, he didn't tell anyone in the Fu family about this matter.
Mr. Fu didn't hide anything, and said very frankly: "It's the one who is in charge of the Li family now."
Yan Qiu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he realized, "Li Zhi?"
"You know him?" Hearing what he said, Mr. Fu immediately asked back.
Yan Qiu didn't know how to define his relationship with Li Zhi, so he said vaguely, "I've heard of it."
"Yeah?"
Mr. Fu didn't ask any further questions, and continued: "I have met him in the business field, but we are not familiar with him. That day he suddenly called me and told me about Shuangchi, which happened in Li's house.After all, Shuang Chi has been a child of the Fu family for twenty years, so there is nothing wrong with him calling to ask, but..."
When Mr. Fu said this, he glanced at him, "We were chatting, and he suddenly mentioned you, and that's when I found out about your stomach cancer hospitalization."
