New Year Bonus Update
Fu Hengyi stood in front of Shen Qinglan and said in a deep voice, “Aunt, what happened last night was my fault. I didn’t stop grandpa. It’s none of Qinglan’s business. You shouldn’t be angry at her.”
“Hengyi, you are still helping her, the person lying inside is your biological grandfather, if she had been more careful, your grandfather wouldn’t have been lying there not knowing whether he is alive or dead.” Fu Jingting accused sternly.
Fu Jingting’s words were unpleasant to hear. Chu Yunrong looked at her daughter being accused with an ugly face and pushed Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan away.
“Fu Jingting, what are you talking about? It’s not Qinglan who pushed the old man down. What do you mean by blaming her now? You think Qinglan didn’t take good care of the old man. What did you do yourself? You are the old man’s only daughter. But because of such a trivial matter, you have been away from home for more than 20 years, have you fulfilled your duty as a child?”
When the thing she regretted most was mentioned, Fu Jingting’s face suddenly turned very pale, and she backed two steps away slightly, and if Gu Bowen hadn’t caught her in time, Fu Jingting would have fallen to the ground.
Gu Yang couldn’t bear to see his mother’s deeply shocked look, but he didn’t quite agree with what his mother had just said when she accused Shen Qinglan. Everyone knew that this matter had nothing to do with Shen Qinglan, but his mother was angry with her. It was very unfair to Shen Qinglan.
Fu Jingting took a step back, and Chu Yunrong took a step closer, “Fu Jingting, you can feel guilty, but don’t blame my daughter. My daughter married into your family, but she didn’t go to your family to be scolded. You just want to show off your role as a mother-in-law. Then let’s find your son a decent wife.”
Chu Yunrong said something unpleasant, but Shen Junyu did not step forward to stop her. He wanted to speak as soon as Fu Jingting said what she just said, but Chu Yunrong beat him to it.
“Sister-in-law, it was Jingting’s fault just now. Please forgive her. She just saw that the old man was critically ill and became dizzy.” Gu Bowen protected Fu Jingting behind him and apologized to Chu Yunrong.
Fu Jingting lowered her head and said nothing.
“Okay, have you made enough trouble? Old Man Fu is still in there and his life and death are still uncertain. Is it okay for you to fight to the death here?” Old Mr. Shen said in a deep voice, and the corridor suddenly became quiet.
Gu Bowen pulled Fu Jingting aside and apologized to Old Mr. Shen, “Uncle Shen, it was Jingting’s fault just now. Don’t take it to heart.”
Old Mr. Shen had a cold face, but he had also watched Fu Jingting grow up. Waving his hands, he said, “Now is not the time to talk about this. Jingting is not calm right now. Take her out to calm down.”
Fu Jingting did not object, but said sorry to Shen Qinglan before leaving.
“I’m sorry.” Fu Hengyi said softly, holding Shen Qinglan’s hand with a little force. Shen Qinglan raised her eyes, glanced at him, and shook her head, “Auntie is right. If I had persuaded grandpa a little, grandpa may not be in the hospital right now.”
Her eyes were slightly red, and Fu Hengyi felt very distressed. “Qinglan, my aunt was confused just now. Don’t take her words to heart. If you really want to care about it, this matter is actually my fault. I shouldn’t have been drinking with grandpa.”
“Okay, don’t stand here and blame yourself.” Old Mr. Shen interrupted them and rubbed his forehead with a headache.
“Gu Yang, let your father take your mother home first. Gu Kai should also go back, and Yunrong and Junyu, you all go back. What are you doing with so many people here? Let Hengyi and Lanlan stay. That’s it.”
Gu Yang was unwilling, “Grandpa Shen, my grandpa…” He wanted to say that his grandpa was not out of danger yet. If…then this would be the last time, and he would not leave at all.
He and Gu Kai were still wearing military uniforms. They came directly from the army and didn’t even change their clothes.
“If you don’t want to go home, just sit with me. It gives me a headache looking at you all.” Old Mr. Shen lowered his face and spoke.
Gu Yang and Gu Kai obediently walked to the side and sat down. Fu Jingting didn’t make a fuss, and Chu Yunrong naturally didn’t speak either. She and Shen Junyu sat next to Old Mr. Shen.
The corridor fell silent for an instant.
Old Mr. Fu woke up the next morning, and Fu Hengyi was the first to discover it. He had been standing in front of the window looking at Old Mr. Fu. Seeing him open his eyes, Fu Hengyi said with joy, “Doctor.”
“Congratulations, Mr. Fu is fine, but he is too old. He fell down and had an operation. You family members should take good care of him.”
After hearing this, Fu Jingting’s face was full of joy after she had not slept all night. When she saw Old Mr. Fu was transferred to the general ward, she finally couldn’t help but hold her father’s old face and burst into tears.
“Qinglan, I’m sorry.” Fu Jingting looked at Shen Qinglan and said, “What happened yesterday was my fault. I made you angry. I hope you can look at Hengyi’s face, forgive your aunt, and don’t argue with her.”
Shen Qinglan looked at Fu Jingting who was sincerely apologizing, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, “Auntie, I know, I didn’t take that matter to heart.”
By saying this Shen Qinglan made Fu Jingting even more ashamed. She didn’t know what happened to her yesterday. At that moment, she just felt that she was going crazy, especially when the doctor said that her father might not survive.
“Qinglan, it’s my fault. Just because you don’t care doesn’t mean I was right. Your mother was right. I blamed you for my fault. I’m sorry.” Fu Jingting was a cheerful person, even if she had to admit her mistake to her junior, she did not hesitate at all.
Could Shen Qinglan not understand how Fu Jingting felt at that time? She really didn’t take this matter to heart. Looking at Fu Jingting who kept apologizing, she felt helpless. She saw Shen Junyu walking over from the corner of her eye and quickly threw her arms around her.
“Aunt Fu, Grandpa Fu is awake and looking for you.” Shen Junyu only said one sentence and saw Fu Jingting walking away in a hurry.
“Grandpa is awake?” Shen Qinglan looked at Shen Junyu, who nodded. Shen Qinglan was about to leave, but was pulled back by Shen Junyu. She looked over doubtfully.
“The father and daughter have something to say, why are you going to join in the fun?”
Shen Qinglan paused for a moment, and then saw Fu Hengyi walking over. Shen Junyu saw the person coming, and his face turned cold, “Fu Hengyi, my sister was wronged because of you, I will forget it because it was the first time, if it happens again, I will not leave you.”
Although Fu Jingting had apologized, Shen Junyu was still very uncomfortable mentally. His sister was accused for nothing. It would be strange for him not to be angry.
Fu Hengyi’s face was gloomy, but he didn’t get angry. He just nodded and promised, “There won’t be a next time.”
Shen Junyu said noncommittally, “Lanlan, brother is here, if you have something else to do, go back first.”
Shen Qinglan nodded, and waited until Shen Junyu left, then she whispered to Fu Hengyi, “I’m sorry.”
Shen Qinglan was helpless, why did he have to apologize to her? It was just a trivial matter, and she didn’t even worry about it. If this incident was seen by unsuspecting people, they would think she had really been greatly wronged.
“Fu Hengyi, I didn’t take it to heart, and aunt has already apologized to me.”
“It’s not just this. I originally agreed to take you out for a walk during the holiday. But now something happened to grandpa, I… “
Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but laugh. She thought it was something. She tilted her head and looked at Fu Hengyi, “In your eyes, am I such an unreasonable person. I will trouble you just because I can’t go out to play?”
Fu Hengyi said shaking his head lightly, “Of course not, I just feel very sorry. I usually don’t spend much time with you, but now…”
“Fu Hengyi, don’t say this again. You have said it many times. Don’t you think you are very verbose? We are still young now, and we will have so much time to be together in the future, so why rush it?”
Fu Hengyi lowered his eyes and looked at the cold face in front of him, his eyes full of tenderness. He held Shen Qinglan’s hand, wrapping her whole hand in his palm, “Qinglan, it’s good that I met you.”
When Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan returned to the ward, there were only Old Mr. Shen and Old Mr. Fu in the ward, and no one else could be seen.
“Old Man Fu, tell me about it. You know you can’t drink but you still drink. After you drank, you fell down the stairs. Are your eyes just for decoration?” Old Mr. Shen scolded Old Mr. Fu.
Old Mr. Fu also knew that what he had done had frightened them, and he was feeling guilty. He allowed Old Mr. Shen to scold him and muttered in a low voice, “I didn’t know it was only that small. I just wanted to get up and go downstairs to drink some water. But in the end, it was all in vain.”
“You are still reasonable. You don’t think about how old you are, and you still drink. You are fine now. Your hand is disabled. If you ask me, your hand should not be disabled, but it’s your feet which should have been disabled, it will save you from jumping around in the future.”
Old Mr. Fu still endured it at first, but seeing that Old Mr. Shen’s words became more and more unpleasant, his expression also changed, “Hey, hey, I say, old man Shen, this is enough, I’m a patient now.”
Old Mr. Shen rolled his eyes, “You still know that you are a patient, I thought you thought you were King Kong.”
“Okay, I just won’t drink in the future.”
“Hengyi, Lanlan, this is what I said, but this old man said it himself, if he dares to drink again in the future, you will use this to retaliate against him and confiscate all his collection.” Old Mr. Shen said.
Old Mr. Fu stared, but did not say any objection.
Old Mr. Shen stayed for a while longer before being sent home by Fu Hengyi. He also didn’t sleep all night. After all, his old body couldn’t bear it, and Old Mr. Fu had just had an operation and needed to rest.
And because Old Mr. Fu was hospitalized, Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan had been accompanying him in the hospital these two days. Fu Jingting was even more serious. She was in Old Mr. Fu’s ward 24 hours a day.
“Okay, okay, you all can go. Why are you hanging around an old man like me all day?” After Fu Jingting peeled fruit for him again, Old Mr. Fu finally became impatient.
“Dad, you are weak now. The doctor said we can’t leave without having people around you.” Fu Jingting refused to leave. This time she was really frightened.
Old Mr. Fu was annoyed when he saw people hanging around in front of his eyes. No one would be in a good mood if he was watched all day long. “Do whatever you are supposed to do, work, stay with your wife. Don’t do it in front of an old man. It’s so wobbly that it hurts my eyes to see it.”
