Chapter 1591
I smiled, full of gratitude to Lin Baisan, and responded, “Then I thank you in advance, sister-in-law.”
Jon was only half a year older than me, but to do the math, he was indeed in my brother’s generation, and it wasn’t too much to call Lin Baisan sister-in-law.
“You should.” Lin Baisan didn’t take credit for it, and only smiled lightly.
I thought, since they hadn’t left the country, they should at least leave an address, so I asked, “Is the clinic still in Jiangcheng?”
Before I could finish asking, Qiao En had already turned his face away to tease the four seasons, as if intentionally avoiding me, but Lin Baisan was still careful to maintain the atmosphere at the table, patiently explaining to me, “It’s in the capital, Qiao En said it’s convenient to take care of my parents.”
I nodded my head, Qiao En had been very responsible since she was a child and naturally had to take care of the whole family.
Just as Lin Baisan finished her words, Qiao En’s phone rang, he picked it up and went outside to answer it, and when he came back again, he said that it was urgent and escorted Lin Baisan out in a hurry.
Only when they disappeared did I remember that I hadn’t left a specific address, so I hurriedly took out my phone and sent a message to Jon’s WeChat.
However, the red exclamation mark that appeared in the dialog box instantly made my breath tighten, and a chill ran through my limbs.
Jon, he, had blacked me out.
Unbelievingly, I clicked on another emoticon to send it, and got the same line of not-so-friendly reminders in reply.
“You are not yet a friend of the other person, please send a verification message first.”
I looked at Jon’s dialogue box and felt my whole body dissipate its temperature, my body shivering vaguely.
How could that be.
I didn’t even know when this was happening.
“What’s wrong Sister Shu?” Wang Ruoruo’s voice came from next to me, and only then did I come back to my senses, barely keeping my composure, “Nothing.”
Wang Ruoruo was not a scheming person and believed it easily, stirring the hot milk cocoa in front of her while talking to herself out of breath, “Sister Xiao Shu, your friend and his wife look so sweet, it’s so enviable, if only Chen Xing and I could have met earlier, our relationship could have reached this level too, right?”
I was a bit distracted and put my phone back into my pocket, so I casually perfumed her, “Your relationship isn’t bad either, you’ve only been married for a few days now and you have a child, it’s quite enviable.”
When this was mentioned, Wang Ruoruo’s face suddenly changed, and then she snorted and changed the subject.
I had Qiao En on my mind, so naturally I didn’t pursue the matter, and after sitting for a while I found an excuse to go back first.
After I got home, I kept staring at the red exclamation mark on WeChat, and when Fu Shen came back, I didn’t even notice until I felt a blanket on my shoulder and turned my face, only to find him bending his upper body and standing behind me, having been watching for a while.
“You’re back.” Only after saying that, as an afterthought, did I press the screen of my phone black and carefully receive it in my pocket.
But Fu Shen still saw it, and after sitting down and taking my hand to play with it in his, he pretended to mention it without thinking, “Met Joan?”
Listening to his tone, he didn’t seem surprised that Jon was back in the country.
“You knew Jon was in the country?” I frowned, my spirits a little tense.
Fu Shen looked up at me, his eyes gentle as water, and let out a long sigh, reaching out to smooth my furrowed brow before speaking again unhurriedly, “I just found out, and I hadn’t figured out how to tell you yet, when you ran into each other.”
I was a little deflated, “You should have told me earlier.”
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been in such a mess in front of Jon today and wouldn’t have been unable to ask a single extra word.
I didn’t blame Jon, really, it was just that I didn’t have the strength to ask for his forgiveness, like when I hesitated for hours and the verification to add a friend just didn’t go out.
After that, I knew I couldn’t blame Fu Shen, so I slumped down on the sofa, as if I had no bones, and slid along the edge to the floor, half-kneeling on the carpet, and flung myself onto the table, burying my head in it to vent, “Ahhhhh! I’m so useless!”
The tears fell indefinitely as she made a fuss.
Chapter 1592
How could he be so cruel, Jon? He said he didn’t want me after 20 years of friendship.
I don’t know how long it took, but I probably got tired of crying and sat down.
I don’t know how long it took, but I was probably tired of crying and sat listlessly on the floor before Fu Shen got up and carried me into the bedroom.
After covering me up, Fu Shen turned around, ready to take a shower, and I subconsciously grabbed his wrist, not wanting him to leave.
“Shen, Muzi is gone, and Jon doesn’t want me, am I really bad, that’s why they left me.”
Smelling, Fu Shen’s eyebrows tightened and he sat down on the edge of the bed, his tone low, “Muzi’s death was an accident, no one wanted it, as for Jon, he got married and had children, sooner or later he had to have his own family, besides, the fact that he became so fast has nothing to do with you, don’t punish yourself for their mistakes.”
He paused and took my hand in his instead, smiling, “I’ve always been there, haven’t I?”
I frowned, my heart still unsettled.
It was true that it wasn’t easy to be together, but decades of affection could be erased, and could the ten years I had with Fu Shen really stand up to the test.
But I didn’t retort, crying for too long made my eyes tired and sore, and after staring at Fu Shen for a while, I fell asleep.
I had a long dream.
In the dream, I, Muzi, and Jon, we were back in high school, chilling under a tree together, watching other kids fight for crickets, Muzi was the most fearless, provoking the leader of the group, and Jon went up and fought with them alone, breaking his head, without saying a word of pain, like a brave gladiator.
But when I woke up, there was only Fu Shen’s true, peaceful sleeping face beside me.
I reached out and touched my hand on his face, some things can’t come back after all.
……
The ten-day hormone treatment finally succeeded in removing mature eggs from my body, and the fertilization process was successful.
It was also today that Fu Shen did not send me home as usual, but brought me to Fu’s personally.
Not long after sitting down, Fu Shen found a document from the hole in the table, opened it and handed it to me.
I took it with a puzzled look on my face and read the title Fu’s Group Shareholding Liability Authorisation.
Fu Shen wanted me to transfer to him the rights to the shares in my hand that I legally held, which he would exercise on his behalf.
Puzzled, I put the document down and asked him, “What does this have to do with g.
