Chapter 66 Need
Although Fu Jianting has been running around these days and trying his best to support it, the Fu family inevitably declined until it came to the end of bankruptcy and liquidation.
After Fu Jianting filed a lawsuit to the court for declaring bankruptcy and repaying debts, he sat alone at the gate of the court for a long time.
It is late autumn now, and the vegetation that has bloomed all summer has come to the end of its life.
The vibrant green faded away, leaving only withered yellow scattered all over the ground.
Fu Jianting just sat there for a while, when a layer of fallen leaves covered his feet.
Autumn is here, Fu Jianting thought.
This is the season he hates the most.
Since autumn, everything has become lifeless, lacking vitality, flowers wither and fragrance, grass and trees withered, and everything in the world begins to decline inevitably.
But his second son's name is Yan Qiu, what a perfunctory and casual name.
Fu Jianting didn't know why he suddenly thought of this now?
What he should have thought was why he lost?How did you get to where you are now?Why did I spend my whole life in my career, never made a mistake in my job, how could I end up with my family ruined as I approached my old age?
In fact, according to his plan, he should retire from the company in another ten years, and spend time with Lu Ruan at home, having fun with his grandchildren and enjoying family happiness.
Instead of sitting alone at the gate of the courthouse thinking about these useless things.
If it was a few years earlier, he would definitely not be reconciled, and would have to make a comeback if he risked his life.
But now don't have the energy had back then.
After all, even if he makes a comeback, if he starts a family business from nothing, who can he leave it to?
His eldest son is gone, his second son is so tired of him that he doesn't even care about his things, and his younger son is still in prison.
No, maybe Fu Shuangchi is no longer his child.
They were not related by blood, and he did something that made him sad.
So he should be regarded as only two sons.
Not right, only one left.
Or maybe, in fact, there is not one left.
If time goes back to a year ago, and others say that he will lose all his children and his family will be destroyed, he will probably turn his face on the spot.
But who would have thought that it was all true.
But how did he get to this point?Since when did it go wrong?
Was it because they were busy many years ago that Fu Chenze was thrown to the nanny when he was born?Did Fu Shuang take him back when he was six years old in the old house, or did the family banquet on the first day of Yan Qiu's return end in an unhappy breakup?
The answer has long been buried in time with the past, and he will probably never know it.
Fu Jianting sat outside for a long time, until it was getting late and the cold wind blew through his whole body, he got up and went home.
The servants of the holiday villa had already left, so the door was empty.
Lu Ruan only turned on a small light, and sat cross-legged on the ground, which was covered with various photos.
Lu Ruan picked up one by one and put them down quickly, as if she was looking for something.
"What are you looking for?" Fu Jianting asked, frowning.
Since Fu Chenze left, Lu Ruan's spirit has been going up and down, and it seems that he is not normal again.
"Jianting." Lu Ruan raised his head when he heard the voice, his complexion was abnormally white against the light, "I'm looking for Xiaoqiu."
"Xiaoqiu?" Fu Jianting asked a little puzzled.
"Yes." Lu Ruan said, holding up the photos on the ground and walking towards him, "I dug out all the photos at home, and then found that there is no Xiaoqiu."
"We haven't taken a photo with him, where did we get the photo?" Fu Jianting said impatiently.
But just after he finished speaking, he was also stunned.
Yes, Yan Qiu has been back for so long, but they don't even have a group photo.
Lu Ruan hugged the photo tightly as if holding her own child, and murmured: "Shen Ze and Shuang Chi are all here, except Xiaoqiu."
This sentence was like a knife piercing into his heart, and the wound that had finally scabbed was dripping with blood again. Fu Jianting closed his eyes and shouted: "Stop talking."
But Lu Ruan didn't care, she was the only one in the villa recently, and even her words echoed, it was terribly empty, so she could only find out all the old photos and talk to their photos.
But while talking today, Lu Ruan suddenly discovered that among the thousands of photos, there was not a single photo of Yan Qiu.
She sat on the ground and thought for a long time, but she couldn't remember whether they had ever taken a photo together.
So started to look through them one by one, but haven't seen a single one since the day until now.
This result made Lu Ruan sit on the ground in a daze for a long time.
It turned out that they were mother and child, and they didn't even have a group photo.
"The last time I went back to the old house to beg my mother, I saw Xiaoqiu. He was taller than before, but he was still very indifferent to me. I wanted him to come back, but he ignored me at all and left. You said he wasDon't you hate us?"
When Fu Jianting heard this, his feet that had already stepped up the steps suddenly stopped, and he turned to look at Lu Ruan.
The expression on Lu Ruan's face looked like crying, but also like smiling.
"Of course he hates us." Fu Jianting didn't go upstairs anymore, but turned around and sat down at the stairs with Lu Ruan.
Only a small light was turned on in the villa, and most of him and Lu Ruan were hidden in the darkness, like old people abandoned by the times.
"Dad scolded me that day, saying that I deserved it, that feelings don't come out of thin air, and they don't maintain it on weekdays. Now he doesn't need it anymore, so what's the use of coming again?"
Originally, Fu Jianting hated listening to the old man's great principles, but now he felt mixed feelings, so he said bitterly: "Dad is right."
"I've been thinking these days, when do kids need us?"
Lu Ruan said, thinking of something, suddenly smiled, "Then I thought of Shen Ze, he was the most obedient since he was a child, he knew we were busy, always stayed alone, and didn't cling to us, once when he was a child, he cut it by himself.Guoguo accidentally cut a hole with a knife, and came to me crying. I was holding an online meeting at the time, and seeing his hand was injured so badly, I couldn't attend the meeting, so I quickly bandaged him.When the child was bandaged, he didn't cry out that it hurt, but said to me, 'Mom, I'm so happy' I almost burst into tears when I heard it, and then I wondered if I was too dereliction of duty."
"I also thought of Shuang Chi. When he was just born, the company was on the rise, so he was sent to the old house as soon as he was born, and his grandparents watched him.Looking at him in the house, he hugged me and refused to let me go, so I always felt that I owed him when I got it back, and I loved him the most, and what he wanted was always satisfied."
"Then there is Xiaoqiu..." Lu Ruan turned to look at Fu Jianting when she said this, her eyes were a little red, "But I found that I never thought when he would ever need me?"
"He didn't grow up with us for the first 20 years. I don't know how he lived these years? Good or bad, when did he need me? Later when he came back, I didn't think about how to make up for him.Is it because Shuangchi will be unhappy? What I think is that Shuangchi is also my child, I have to keep a bowl of water level, and I can't let him feel any difference from his previous life. What happened to Shuangchi later, what happened to Shen Ze, One pile, one piece, occupied my attention, and when I realized it, I realized that Xiaoqiu had been so far away from us at some point."
As Lu Ruan spoke, tears fell and fell on the photo in his hand.
She hurriedly tried to wipe away the tears on the photo, but she couldn't hold it steady, and the photo in her hand was scattered all over the floor.
Lu Ruan leaned over to pick it up, but when she lowered her head, there was a family photo, which seemed to be taken a year before Yan Qiu came back.
It was Fu Shuangchi's birthday that day, and the whole family carefully prepared a birthday party for him. Fu Chenze also ordered an eight-story birthday cake for him, which read: My younger brother will be happy forever!
Fu Jianting personally put a birthday crown on him, Lu Ruan put candles on the cake, Fu Shuangchi closed his eyes and made a wish, and blew out the candles.
Then the whole family took a family portrait together.
Just as Lu Ruan's fingers touched the photo, she suddenly put it down like an electric shock. For a moment, Lu Ruan seemed to be in a daze, and Fu Shuangchi in the photo turned into Yan Qiu.
Yan Qiu wore a white evening dress and a birthday crown, smiling happily.
But it was only a momentary trance, after all, Yan Qiu had never laughed like this before.
He always looked preoccupied, and looked at them coldly and coldly.
Lu Ruan always thought he was unpleasant.
But just now, she realized that she never seemed to have explored why?
Did he have a good twenty years?Did he have a birthday like this too?Why doesn't he like to laugh?Why does it always look so sad?
The answer seemed obvious, but she deliberately covered her eyes and never looked at it.
It seems that there is no need to feel guilty.
In fact, the original family portrait should belong to Yan Qiu.
It was supposed to be him having a glamorous birthday party, it was supposed to be him wearing a white evening gown, it was supposed to be him wearing a birthday crown by his father, it was supposed to be him blowing out the candles with his eyes closed, it was supposed to be him accepting his brotherblessing of.
My brother to be happy forever!
So the most indebted child is obviously him, why didn't he think of it?
Lu Ruan withdrew her hand, never daring to pick up that family photo again.
"Old Fu..."
As soon as Lu Ruan opened her mouth, Fu Jianting interrupted her. His voice was very difficult, as if every word was forcefully squeezed out of his throat, "Actually, it happened."
"Actually, there were times when he needed us."
"On his first day home, he definitely needs our heartfelt hugs and greetings."
"When he was lying in the hospital with stomach cancer waiting for an operation, he definitely needed his family to be by his side."
"When he and his mother had a falling out and moved out of the old house, they definitely needed a shelter."
"In fact, there are many times, it's just...we all missed it."
"So, he will never forgive us either."
