Chapter 240 Happiness Comes Unexpectedly
After washing the dishes, Fu Ruoshi assembled the shoe rack and clothes rack that Wen Zhixia had just bought, and explained Fu Yonglin to her.
"So your father was afraid that your uncle was going after the Fu family, so he had them monitored. This caused Yonglin's mother to become depressed and ill. Now your father feels sorry for Yonglin and wants you to help him?"
Wen Zhixia sat on the sofa, warming her feet, and asked in conclusion, "Why didn't Yonglin join the Fu family?"
Fu Ruoshi was helping her arrange the blind box dolls. There were dozens of dolls, which had to be classified according to series and wiped clean. He didn't dare to slack off.
"That's what I don't understand," he said. "Yonglin said he has no intentions towards the Fu family. These days, no one would show ambition clearly on their face. Wouldn't that mean they'd lose their heads in a matter of minutes?"
"If he has the ability and conscience, it's not a bad thing to have ambition," Wen Zhixia said. "It's better than having bad people in power."
Fu Ruoshi nodded.
He had no intention of inheriting the Fu family, and he didn't care who inherited it.
In the few memories that Fu Ruoshi had of his time with Fu Yonglin, Fu Yonglin was steady and reserved, mature beyond his years, and he rarely returned to visit his family.
The first time I met Fu Yonglin was the year his mother passed away. I felt sorry for him for losing his mother at such a young age, so I went to comfort him.
Fu Yonglin's father is Fu Xudong. When the internal strife in the Fu family was at its worst, Fu Xudong and Fu Keming were fighting the most fiercely.
Later, Fu Keming defeated his brother and was able to sit firmly in the top position of the Fu family. When people outside talked about the Fu family, they all assumed it was Fu Keming's Fu family.
After losing the power struggle, Fu Xudong served two years in prison. After he was released, he immigrated to Europe and retired to recuperate. However, Fu Keming was afraid that he would wait for an opportunity to strike again, so he hired someone to monitor their family. During festivals, he would give them small favors, which seemed to be concern but was actually surveillance.
The depressing environment caused the family physical and mental suffering. Fu Yonglin's mother was diagnosed with cancer and failed treatment for many years. She eventually died when he was in his early twenties.
Because of this gap, Fu Ruoshi could not become close brothers with Fu Yonglin. They only met a few times at family gatherings, and they did not keep in touch on a daily basis, not even on WeChat.
Yonglin's sudden return to China this time left him with a motive that was difficult to fathom.
"Then what do you think Yonglin wants to do by suddenly coming back?" Thinking of this, Fu Ruoshi asked Wen Zhixia, "You don't have to say nice things, it's better to say something unpleasant."
Wen Zhixia didn't have a deep understanding of the structure of the Fu family. Although she had been in the Fu family for three years, Fu Ruoshi never told her about this.
In the few family dinners she had, she vaguely realized that this family was unimaginably large, with members who were leaders from all walks of life. With power on this scale, they could no longer be described as black or white, because they were the weather vanes that led the way to black and white, and they could be black or white as they pleased.
This kind of family environment is actually very depressing. Later, she also understood the reason why Fu Ruoshi insisted on leaving the family and starting his own business, which was to reduce the constraints with the family.
Thinking of this, she said bluntly, "The ugly thing is that he wants to take revenge on your father? Or he wants to occupy a place in the Fu family? But is he married?"
"No." Fu Ruoshi shook his head.
Wen Zhixia hummed, "It could also be about love. Maybe he's attracted to a girl?"
"He's not attracted to you, is he?" Fu Ruoshi's heart skipped a beat. "Otherwise, why would he add you on WeChat?"
......
Wen Zhixia was speechless, "How is that possible? He has never even seen me."
Fu Ruoshi now always has an inexplicable sense of crisis. The closer he gets to Wen Zhixia, the clearer this sense of crisis becomes.
She felt that every man was interested in her, and she was indeed the type that men would easily take notice of.
"If he said anything to you, tell me," Fu Ruoshi thought for a moment and said, "or you can delete him. If you can avoid getting involved in some things, you should not get involved. It's easy to get in but hard to get out. I don't want to cause you any more trouble."
Wen Zhixia thought that she had caused him a lot of trouble.
Speaking of their involvement, from angering the Xu and Zhao families to destroying Jinghai Hospital, no matter who started it or who took the first step, it is undeniable that they offended too many people in the repeated disputes.
Maybe, he's already in the bureau.
Wen Zhixia had a vague premonition.
She raised her eyes and looked at Fu Ruo, and when she saw his eyes meet hers, her hidden worry turned into a smile.
He was trying to hide it, but she could still see the stress he was feeling.
"If Yonglin doesn't say anything else, I'll just leave it alone." Wen Zhixia sighed, "Maybe he didn't mean anything else, but we're just making wild assumptions about him. It's better for a family to live in harmony and not pass on the grudges of the previous generation to the next."
Looking at the pure and kind light in her eyes, Fu Ruoshi felt heartbroken.
"I'm going back to the United States in a couple of days and may be away for half a month." He changed his tone and said, "So can I sleep with you here tonight?"
His mysterious punctuation made Wen Zhixia feel overwhelmed.
"No." She stood up and said, "We are no longer in a relationship where we can stay in the same room together. Wake up and go back to the villa."
"Can't we sleep in the same room?" Fu Ruoshi begged, pointing to the study. "Can't I sleep in the study? Didn't you clean it for me?"
Who cleaned it up for you?
Wen Zhixia said she was tired.
She looked at Fu Ruo with a stern face. She saw that the corners of his eyes, which were originally upturned, were drooping because he was looking up. His expression was pitiful, like a big fox with its ears peeking out to beg for food.
Pretending again...
Wen Zhixia looked at him for almost five minutes, but he really didn't laugh.
Forget it.
It's just a canine, who cares about it?
Wen Zhixia went to the bedroom to get a quilt, brought it out, and threw it at Fu Ruoshi.
"It's up to you. I don't care about you anymore."
She turned and went back to the bedroom.
Fu Ruoshi didn't react at all.
He looked at the quilt in his arms, which was pink and had a faint fragrance...
Happiness comes unexpectedly!
She let me stay the night!
She didn't chase me away!
She's not on guard against me anymore!
Fu Ruoshi was overjoyed. He got up from the sofa and was about to hug Wen Zhixia.
Just as I reached her bedroom door, it slammed shut mercilessly.
"I'm sleeping, don't bother me."
A voice of disgust came from inside.
Fu Ruoshi was scolded, but he was still very happy.
God doesn't know, but he knows that getting Wen Zhixia, such a stubborn and unyielding girl, to agree to stay overnight is as difficult as listing a company!
She agreed.
Finally, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Fu Ruoshi almost wanted to cry. He hugged the quilt tightly in his arms, treated her as Wen Zhixia, and kissed her hard.
I will definitely marry you home.
I will definitely protect you and never leave you alone again.
The warm night passed quickly.
The next morning.
Fu Ruoshi woke up early.
It was half past six. According to her previous habit at the villa, Wen Zhixia would not wake up for another twenty minutes.
Fu Ruoshi washed up quietly, sat at the desk, and stared at the photo of Wen Zhengmao and his wife in a daze.
At this moment, the phone on the table vibrated.
Fu Yonglin: [Ruo Shi, are you free to have morning tea together? ]
