In the evening, the autumn air is crisp and the geese pass by without leaving a trace.
After eating, Jiang Liting held her child in her arms and sat upright on the sofa, chatting with Li Xiu'e about business and new foreign trends, while Zhou Caifeng acted as a compliment and sometimes exaggeratedly cooperated.
Su Wanyan couldn't get a word in at all, so she reluctantly stepped forward and carried the child back to the house to sleep.
After a long time, Jiang Liting walked in happily and said, "Daughter-in-law, your mother is back. Why did you go to bed so early?"
Su Wanyan patted the little one in her arms. She raised her eyelids and said with a smile, "Isn't that your mother? It's boring for me to carry her."
Jiang Liting's waist was sore after being stretched all day. He took off his tie, took a deep breath, slumped down on the makeup chair and said:
"It's not all for you. I have to be smart, otherwise you would probably have to be taken away by now."
Su Wanyan's smile became even brighter: "Then why don't you keep pretending? You're wearing a tie and your hair is smeared with oil. You didn't even dress up like this on your wedding day."
"If we don't know each other, we'll end up being different if we pretend to be different." Jiang Liting looked in the mirror, touched his shiny black hair, and said with emotion:
"Now I feel more and more that Fu Hanmu is really not a simple guy. I just pretended that my waist hurts, my legs are sore, and my neck is tied up with a tie so I can't breathe. He does this every day, and he doesn't feel tired."
"People have been like this since they were young, so naturally they won't feel tired." Su Wanyan said: "I think there will be a long time in the future, and your pretense will always be revealed. You might as well just look like you should."
"You can show your feet later, but now you have to at least hold her steady and let her have time to know my inner and outer beauty. Otherwise, if I don't pretend, I will probably get off the car and drag you away.
Jiang Liting raised his shoulders and said with emotion: "People are like this. If they don't like you at first sight, who will waste their time getting to know you?"
Su Wanyan got out of bed, rubbed his shoulders and said:
"I said I would speak for you, you can rest assured."
Jiang Liting said: "Come on, let me tell you something when the time comes. Although I don't look like a good person, my education is not high. I'm sure your mother can fly a plane to pick you up at home. How can I dare to hand over such a big matter?" Here you go."
Su Wanyan said: "No wonder you grabbed the words when I opened my mouth, causing me to call me mom all day long."
"You shout slowly from now on, but let me see my precious son first."
Jiang Liting stood up and lay on the bedside, carefully pulling up a small section of the quilt with his fingertips. Looking at the white and tender baby, his heart almost melted:
"Son, your life is really good. Your mother will be a graduate of Beijing University, your father will open a clothing factory, and grandma will own a listed company. The key is still yours."
The baby's eyes opened slits, and he rolled his black grape-like eyes carelessly, with a rather contemptuous attitude.
The smile on Jiang Liting's lips became even bigger. She gently pressed the corners of the quilt for him, lay down on her side and hugged him. He gently pressed her forehead against his delicate forehead and said:
"Why are you so lovable? Huh? Baby boy."
Su Wanyan packed up the slippers and ties thrown around by Jiang Liting. The father and son spoke words they didn't understand with big eyes to small eyes.
Jiang Liting taught him to study hard in the future. He should look like he was sitting or standing, so that when he went out, he would feel educated and dignified at a glance. The baby would open his mouth and make a humming sound.
..............
Li Xiu'e stayed for five days and was led by Jiang Liting around several busy streets in Beijing. She had a thorough understanding of the situation in the capital.
While the mother and daughter were chatting in the yard, an unexpected guest suddenly came, and everyone looked over at the same time.
Fu's mother was very busy with Fu Hanmu's affairs. She said with tears in her eyes:
"Wanyan, go and see my Hanmu. He refuses treatment in the hospital."
Su Wanyan subconsciously said:
"What's up with him?"
Li Xiu'e is not as soft-hearted as Su Wanyan, and she doesn't care whether Fu Hanmu lives or dies. She doesn't want to suffer any loss, so she continued:
"You designed Lao Su's Restaurant to close down, causing my daughter to suffer later. I haven't even come to you to settle the score, but you have come to do it."
Only then did Fu's mother notice Li Xiu'e. She was stunned for a moment and didn't recognize it. After a while, she said unconfidently:
"Is it Xiu'e?"
Li Xiu'e said angrily: "Don't call me that, I can't afford you to call me so close."
Zhou Caifeng was also afraid that her daughter-in-law would be abducted, so she hurriedly stepped forward to chase them away and said, "Hurry up and leave."
Fu's mother was pushed out of the door. Her tears fell like broken beads. She looked at Su Wanyan with pleading eyes and said:
"Wanyan, Hanmu cut his wrists on the day you left. He was rescued with great difficulty. Now he is not eating or drinking. Can you go and see him."
"Even if your son died, it was all your fault..." Before Li Xiu'e could finish her words, Su Wanyan interrupted:
"Mom, let me go and have a look. Fu Hanmu has been taking care of me all these years when you were away. He... has never been sorry to me."
Fu Mu wiped her tears and said with gratitude:
"Thank you, thank you. My Hanmu originally didn't allow me to come over, saying that I was afraid of disturbing your life and annoying you again, but I...I really can't help it."
When Su Wanyan heard how miserable he was, he couldn't bear to go out.
Li Xiu'e couldn't help but said: "I'll go too, so that you won't be bullied by her again."
The three of them left in the car. Zhou Caifeng hurriedly rushed to the factory: "I have to tell Li Ting that when I come back from get off work later, my wife is gone and my mother-in-law is gone."
When Su Wanyan arrived at the hospital, she just opened the door and saw Fu Qinghuai holding chicken soup and consoling her sincerely, while Fu Hanmu was lying on the pillow with a pale face, looking out the window with dead eyes.
She felt regretful, always feeling that he should be wearing a shirt and trousers, making him a dazzling presence wherever he went, instead of looking like this fragile and lifeless person at the moment.
Fu's mother was afraid that the loud noise would frighten her son, so she said cautiously: "Hanmu, Wanyan is here to see you."
Fu Qinghuai wiped his tears, put on his glasses and greeted Su Wanyan and Li Xiu'e.
Fu Han tilted his head dullly. When he saw Su Wanyan, his expression was slightly startled. He might have fallen asleep due to excessive blood loss. He felt as if he hadn't seen Su Wanyan for a century.
Su Wanyan said helplessly: "Why do you want to hurt yourself like this?"
Fu Hanmu reacted, sat up straight and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that my mother would come to find you and disturb your life."
Su Wanyan thought he would continue to say stalking words, but he was a little surprised at the moment.
"But you came just in time. What my mother did was really wrong to you, and I have to make it up to you."
Fu Hanmu took out a document from the bedside table and handed it to her and said, "And I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to give gifts to little Jinyan in the future. This will be his birthday gift every year from now on."
Su Wanyan did not pick it up, but Fu Hanmu insisted on stuffing it into her arms: "If you don't accept it, I will feel uneasy for the rest of my life, but if you accept it, I might feel better."
Li Xiu'e said: "Why did you go there earlier? No one dares to bully a woman who is protected by a man. Where were you when my daughter was bullied by your mother?"
Fu Hanmu pulled his lips bitterly. If he wanted to blame it, it was because his mother hid it so well. He didn't realize that he hid such thoughts towards Su Wanyan. But now, explanations are useless.
He coughed weakly several times, and the ends of his eyes turned red.
Fu's mother patted his back distressedly, and Fu Qinghuai also asked after him.
Su Wanyan was afraid that Li Xiu'e would provoke Fu Hanmu away again, so she said helplessly: "Mom, please go out first."
Li Xiu'e couldn't bear to see Fu Hanmu in such miserable condition, so she walked outside the door and waited.
In the ward, after Fu Hanmu stopped coughing, Fu Qinghuai stopped talking and said, "Wanyan, uncle wants to discuss something with you."
Before Su Wanyan could speak, Fu Hanmu said firmly: "Dad, no matter what you want to mention, just stop it here. Don't make it difficult for her. I don't want to..."
Fu Qinghuai's eyes always fell on Su Wanyan, interrupting Fu Hanmu's words:
"You give Hanmu a child, whether it's a boy or a girl. In return, Hanmu's clothing business will be given to you. In addition, Hanmu will help your husband thoroughly explore foreign markets."
Fu Hanmu's words suddenly stopped, his throat tightened, his heart beat like a gong, his slender fingertips secretly clenched the quilt, his lifeless eyes were filled with hope, and he looked at Su Wanyan for a moment:
If you really can't be with her,
It would also be great to have a child in common with her.
Su Wanyan was about to refuse, but Fu's mother hurriedly followed behind and persuaded her: "Yes, yes, my Hanmu will commit suicide if you are not careful now. You can't watch my Hanmu really die, right?"
If you give him a child, he will live well for the sake of your two children. And don’t worry, Jiang Liting can say whatever he wants.
In the future, the child born between you and Han Mu will be the first to inherit our family's company, and everything will be given to him. "
Li Xiu'e, who was just across the door, was very angry when she heard this, but before she could react, the door was kicked open with a "bang".
She looked back blankly and saw Jiang Li Tingjun walking in with a cruel and gloomy face and a sinister look in his eyes:
"Damn it, your family smashed all the abacus beads into my face."
Li Xiu'e: "..." Is this my mature and gentle son-in-law?
