Chapter 79
Because of Mr. Li's matter, Yan Qiu thought of his grandfather.
The last time he met his grandfather was the day the old house was sealed off. Gao Yilan was so angry that he called an ambulance, and his grandfather followed him to the hospital. They haven't seen each other since then.
He listened to his grandfather's words, and walked forward slowly without looking back.
Those people and things in the Fu family are also slowly letting go, the only one who can't let go is grandpa.
Yan Qiu has received too little love and kindness since he was a child, so every time he got one, he would carefully carry it back to the tree hole to treasure it like a squirrel in winter picking up a hazelnut that fell on the ground.
From childhood to adulthood, there are only a few people who love him, so he cherishes everyone very much.
Recently, watching his master's memory go from good to bad, and his state getting worse and worse, Yan Qiu suddenly felt the equality and cruelty of time.
So he decided to take more time to see his grandfather in the future.
The Fu family went bankrupt and the old house was sealed off. Last time everything happened so suddenly that Yan Qiu didn't have time to ask his grandfather about his future plans, so he found out that his grandfather was still in the hospital after inquiring.
Yan Qiu came to the gate of the City's No. 1 Hospital, hesitated for a moment before walking in.
The last time Gao Yilan fainted at the door of Fu's old house, Yan Qiu thought it was simply out of anger, but he didn't expect it to be a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
The reason was that due to excessive excitement, the blood pressure suddenly rose, leading to the rupture of microvessels in the brain, which caused brain hemorrhage. Fortunately, it was sent in time, and it saved his life.①
However, cognitive and language functions are damaged to varying degrees, and he is still lying on the hospital bed and unable to get up.
Yan Qiu got on the elevator and pressed the seventh floor.
He asked his grandfather that Fu Jianting and Lu Ruan were not here, so he chose today.
Now that the Fu family has collapsed and died, it can be regarded as paying the price, and the grievances between the two generations are barely worth it, so Yan Qiu doesn't want to continue to entangle with them.
Yan Qiu came to the ward and looked in through the small window on the door. Sure enough, Fu Jianting and Lu Ruan were not there, only Mr. Fu was taking care of Mrs. Fu in the ward.
The ward is not big, it is a room for two people, but there is no one living next to it, so it is barely spacious.
"Grandpa." Yan Qiu pushed the door open and walked in.
Mr. Fu seemed to be a little sleepy. He was sitting there taking a nap. When he heard Yan Qiu's voice, he immediately opened his eyes and looked towards the door.
"Xiaoqiu is here." Seeing him, old man Fu laughed immediately, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes piled up like a collection, making him look more amiable.
"Yeah." Yan Qiu said, put down the supplements he bought for Mr. Fu, and walked towards him.
Mrs. Fu also woke up when she heard the movement. She still seemed unable to move. Her head was wrapped in a thick bandage, and the back of her pale hand hung limply by her side. The back of her hand was bruised and covered with dense needle holes.
Yan Qiu turned to look at her, she was also looking at Yan Qiu, she seemed to recognize him but didn't seem to, but her cloudy eyes were fixed on him, her mouth was vague, and she couldn't hear what she was saying at all.
Seeing him looking at Mrs. Fu, Mr. Fu sighed, and said slowly: "It was delivered in time, and her life was saved, but she is old, so many injuries cannot be recovered. The doctor said that futureI'm afraid I will spend my days in a wheelchair."
There were conflicts between Yan Qiu and Mrs. Fu, but Grandpa and her didn't, and they even had decades of friendship with each other.
Therefore, Yan Qiu knew that Grandpa would definitely find it difficult to accept this result, so he comforted him and said, "Now that medical care is so developed, maybe there will be a turning point."
"I hope so." Mr. Fu replied.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." Old lady Fu still lying on the hospital bed and staring at him intently, making meaningless breath sounds.
The mouth was half crooked, and from time to time, saliva dripped down the corner of the mouth and seeped into the pillow next to it.
Seeing this, Mr. Fu quickly found a handkerchief to wipe it clean for her.
"Do you want to keep taking care of her like this?" Yan Qiu asked.
Hearing this, Mr. Fu lowered his eyes to look at Mrs. Fu, patted the back of her hand, and said comfortingly: "Small couples come to accompany each other. At our age, we are actually accompanying each other, and no one can leave anyone behind.".”
Yan Qiu didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Old Madam Fu on the hospital bed.
The scene when they met for the first time in the previous life suddenly appeared in their minds.
The car drove slowly into the old house, and he looked out the window excitedly and cautiously.
He thought the Fu family was luxurious enough, but he didn't expect the old house to be even better.
When they got out of the car, the garden fountains in the middle of the yard lined up neatly in the air, reflecting the bright sunshine above their heads, as if they could see colorful rainbows hanging in the blue sky.
Before Yan Qiu could look more, the well-trained servants had already opened the door of the villa for them.
The carpet under my feet is as soft as a ball of cotton, and it seems that every step can sink deep into it.
Yan Qiu tried his best to restrain his nervousness, and followed them forward step by step.
Until he stopped in the living room, he saw a kind old man sitting on the sofa, looking at him with a smile.
This should be grandpa.
Just as he was trying to find out where his grandma was, he heard a burst of unhurried footsteps coming from the stairs.
"Da da da……"
The visitor was wearing high-heeled shoes, and every step he took was very steady and slow.
Yan Qiu raised his head, because of the angle, he first saw a pair of pure white suede high heels.
The heel is high, the toe is slightly pointed, and a pearl falls on the upper, which is round and full.
Then there is a pea green cheongsam skirt, which is very long and reaches the ankle.
It was embroidered with flowers whose names he couldn't recognize, swaying step by step with the movement of the person coming.
The pair of high heels walked slowly in front of them in his sight, and stopped in front of the sofa.
Then, a look suddenly came over.
Yan Qiu raised his head. He thought that she should be a young woman dressed like this, but unexpectedly, she was a hale and hearty old lady.
The old lady's black and white mixed hair was coiled high behind her head, and she wore a string of pearl necklaces that were obviously expensive at a glance around her neck, her eyes were high and unscrupulous.
It looked like it wasn't Yan Qiu, but a commodity that was up for grabs.
When Yan Qiu saw where she was sitting, he guessed that this should be grandma.
Just when she was about to speak, unexpectedly, she frowned slightly and turned back and forth between him and Fu Shuangchi a few times, with undisguised dissatisfaction in her tone.
"Not far."
Like a famous chef who has been famous for a long time, commenting on a dish that is not popular.
Perhaps it was because the impression she left on Yan Qiu when they met for the first time in the previous life was too deep.
Therefore, for a while, it was still difficult for Yan Qiu to connect with the old lady in front of her, who was lying motionless on the hospital bed, with crooked mouth and slanted eyes, who couldn't even speak clearly.
The love and hatred between them was much weaker than that between him and the Fu family, so Yan Qiu couldn't feel any joy in his heart.
Just thinking about the past still makes me feel a little emotional.
The person who used to be the most respectable is the most disrespectful when he grows old.
Fu Jianting and Lu Ruan would come anytime, so Yan Qiu didn't stay for long before leaving.
He pressed the elevator button, and the elevator just came up.
Yan Qiu took out his mobile phone and was about to ask about Master Li Zhi's situation, but just as he pressed the dial button, he heard an unbelievable female voice suddenly, "Xiaoqiu?"
Hearing this voice, Yan Qiu frowned subconsciously. When he looked up, it was indeed Lu Ruan, followed by Fu Jianting, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
In fact, it was only a few months since the last meeting, but they were much older.
The white hair on his head almost covered the black hair, and he looked much more haggard than Mr. Fu.
"Xiaoqiu, why are you here?" Lu Ruan hurriedly got out of the elevator and walked towards him, as if she wanted to stop him, but she met his eyes and stopped half a step away from him.
Yan Qiu didn't have time to pay attention to her at all, he glanced at her and then looked down at the phone.
It keeps showing that it is connecting. Is Li Zhi busy?
Although he knew that he might be busy, but for some reason, Yan Qiu still had a flash of uneasiness in his heart.
Li Zhi would answer his phone no matter what, and this was the first time that he didn't get through.
But even though he was a bit puzzled, Yan Qiu didn't continue to fight.
Maybe he was just busy, so he always called in case he was disturbed?Anyway, when Li Zhi finished his work, he would always call him back.
"Xiaoqiu?" Seeing that he kept looking down at the phone, Lu Ruan asked with some embarrassment, "Are you busy now?"
Hearing this, Yan Qiu put the phone in his pocket, then raised his head to look at her, and asked bluntly, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
After speaking, he passed them and pressed the elevator again.
The elevator was still going up, and he had to wait until the elevator came down before he could get on it.
Fu Jianting also seemed to want to say something to him, but seeing his indifferent appearance, he opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.
Lu Ruan was used to his cold eyebrows, walked over and continued, "It's almost noon, let's have a meal together, can mom cook it for you?"
Yan Qiu turned his head to look at her when he heard the words, he really didn't understand whether Lu Ruan was pretending to be confused or he really thought their relationship could be redeemed?
Why do you always like to say meaningless things and do things that can only move you?
So he replied to her with some annoyance: "Lu Ruan, I'm already old enough to be coaxed after a meal."
When I was in Fu's house before, Yan Qiu would call her "Mom" in order to maintain the harmony on the surface.
Later, after moved out, never called him again, and would subconsciously avoid this name.
It's just that today his mind was on the phone call that Li Zhi didn't answer, and he was in a hurry to leave, so he didn't pay attention and called her name directly.
It was the first time Yan Qiu called her by her name like this, so not only Lu Ruan, but also Fu Jianting looked at him in shock, and the two of them froze in place at the same time.
"What are you calling me?" Lu Ruan stared at him with wide-eyed eyes, his whole body was on the verge of falling, as if he could fall backward at any time.
Yan Qiu was also stunned for a moment, but the words had already been spoken, so naturally he couldn't take them back.
Fu Jianting on the side couldn't bear to listen anymore, stepped forward to support her, and then sternly shouted at Yan Qiu: "After all, she is also your mother!"
"Mother?" Yan Qiu was already thinking about taking the stairs and leaving this place of right and wrong, but when he heard this sentence, he couldn't help but stop, and turned to them and said: "This is ridiculous..”
As Yan Qiu said, pictures suddenly flashed in his mind, there was a group photo of their whole family standing together at the birthday party in the previous life, there was himself left alone in the fire in the snow field, and there was a picture of himself when he was dying of illness.the truth.
So he looked at Lu Ruan, word by word, full of doubts and asked: "Why do you have to be a mother? Did you love me as much as you love Fu Shuangchi? Did you love me when I was sick? You knowWhat do I like to eat? Do you care about me?"
"I never saw you when I needed it the most, but now you suddenly remember that you are my mother, don't you find it ironic?"
Yan Qiu walked towards them while talking, and each question was like a sharp knife, piercing into their hearts again and again.
Lu Ruan only felt that the whole person was put on the trial bench, and all the past was judging her one by one.
The sharpest of them was Yan Qiu's gaze, so Lu Ruan didn't dare to look up at him at all, and could only shake his head helplessly while retreating as if to escape.
Until he hit the wall behind him, there was no way to avoid it.
Seeing this, Yan Qiu also stopped, looking down at her, the sarcasm in his voice almost crushed her, "You asked me to call you mother, but can you bear the word?"
Hearing this, Lu Ruan felt that something in her heart collapsed and made a deafening sound. As if she couldn't bear it anymore, she suddenly raised her hands to cover her ears, her expression suddenly changed, pain and madness intertwined, shaking her head while shaking her head.With his mouth open, it seemed that something wanted to rush out of his throat, but he made no sound.
Seeing this, Fu Jianting at the side knew that she was going to get sick again, so he hurried over and signaled Yan Qiu to leave quickly, while trying to hug her to calm her down.
Yan Qiu looked at Lu Ruan's situation, and didn't want to continue to provoke her. Just at this moment, the elevator came down, and after a "ding", the elevator door slowly opened.
Yan Qiu turned around and walked towards the elevator.
However, when Lu Ruan saw this, he suddenly threw away Fu Jianting and ran towards Yan Qiu.
She stumbled and ran behind Yan Qiu, holding him tightly with her slender fingers, as if breaking through a barrier, and finally made a sound.
While screaming and crying in pain, she dragged Yan Qiu and begged, "Xiaoqiu, don't go, go home with mom, mom is wrong, mom will love you from now on, mom is only left with you."
Yan Qiu stretched out his hand to pull her away, but Lu Ruan frantically grabbed his arm, refusing to let go no matter what.
He repeated these words over and over in his mouth, "Mom is wrong, mother is really wrong, you were born in October, how could I not love you?"
The elevator door was open, and the people inside looked out at the farce curiously.
Yan Qiu simply stopped in his tracks and stood there listening to her crazy nonsense.
It wasn't until the elevator door slowly closed that Yan Qiu finally got bored and interrupted Lu Ruan's words.
"open!"
However, Lu Ruan seemed to be completely immersed in his own world, unable to hear his words at all, and just said to him tirelessly over and over again: "Mom is wrong, mom is wrong, how about going home with mom? Mom only has you, Mom only has you..."
"Enough." Yan Qiu said helplessly.
When Lu Ruan heard Yan Qiu's voice suddenly softened, thinking that there was a turning point, she raised her tear-filled eyes to look at him.
However, he didn't expect to see Yan Qiu looking at him quietly when he raised his head, his eyes were cold, which formed a stark contrast with his voice.
He said, "If I could choose, I would never be born in your belly."
