"Mm."
Her face was a little red, delicate and alluring.
His eyes deepened, and he took a deep breath. "I'll listen to you."
Compromised so quickly?
Shen Qingqing was still a little surprised, but since he agreed, it was a good thing. When they reached the downstairs, Madam Fu and Fu Tingsheng looked at them expectantly.
Seeing the faint smile on Fu Jingshu's stern face, the two looked at each other.
It's done!
The granddaughter-in-law is really capable!
But when night came and it was time to repay the favor, Shen Qingqing suddenly felt that something was not right. Was he really angry?
Was he that petty?
As if tumbling in the waves, her mind was a little hazy, and only one thought was particularly strong.
He was doing it on purpose! It must be on purpose!
Just to eat a few more meals of meat!
So cunning!
But soon, she didn't have the energy to think about these things anymore, and could only follow him as they surged in the sea of love.
The next morning, Fu Jingshu booked a flight for noon, while Shen Qingqing slept until ten o'clock and was told to leave when she woke up.
Madam Fu and the two children were very reluctant to see them go. "When will you be back?"
Fu Jingshu said, "We'll be back as soon as we're done."
Madam Fu sighed, "Okay, you've been tired recently, so go. You can also see the scenery abroad."
Shen Jinxi was a little reluctant, but still instructed, "Daddy, take good care of Mommy."
Chenchen also nodded heavily.
"Okay, you two must be good at home and take care of your great-grandmother." Fu Jingshu squatted down, hugged the two children, and ruffled their hair.
The twins, with their messy hair, wore identical pouting expressions.
"Got it!"
The two turned and left. This was not the first time they had gone out, but it was the first time since they were married, probably because their relationship had changed.
He had changed too.
All the way, Shen Qingqing didn't have to worry about anything. He carried the luggage, brought her food, and bought all her favorite things.
When she slept, he covered her with a blanket and, worried that she would be uncomfortable, let her lean on him.
When the plane landed, Shen Qingqing was not tired at all. It was as if she had just slept, and they had arrived. She wasn't even hungry when she got off the plane.
The two first found a hotel to stay, rested for two hours, ate something, and then went to the address of Chen Zhisheng that Lin Mo had found.
In a small courtyard full of rural charm on the outskirts.
Shen Qingqing had checked before they came, and this was the cheapest house in Country H.
The yard was clean, the door was tightly shut, and the entire courtyard was quiet.
The two went over and knocked on the door. After a while, a man in his thirties opened the door. He was dressed simply, with a stubble, and looked haggard.
"Who are you looking for?"
Fu Jingshu stood on the other side of the door and slowly stepped out. When the man saw him, his pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately tried to close the door.
It was stopped by a slender hand.
"Chen Zhisheng, I'm looking for you to talk about your brother."
"What's there to talk about?" Chen Zhisheng's eyes were red, and anger surged. "I don't want to see you. Haven't you ruined our family enough?!"
Fu Jingshu's thin lips were tightly pursed, and he did not retort.
Shen Qingqing stepped forward, "Chen Zhisheng, hello, I am his wife. We are here to help you, not with any ill intentions..."
"Get out!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhisheng's reaction became even more intense. His rejection was obvious. He directly pushed Fu Jingshu and Shen Qingqing away and slammed the door shut.
Shen Qingqing glanced at Fu Jingshu.
His face was extremely gloomy, and she felt a pang of sympathy. She took his hand and left. The atmosphere in the car was equally oppressive.
"Don't worry, we'll try a few more times until he's willing to listen to us."
Her comfort had an effect. Fu Jingshu held her delicate fingertips and recounted the past to her.
Back then, Chen Zhifeng and Lu Wanying confirmed their relationship and were going on a trip. Fu Jingshu naturally agreed, but he didn't expect them to insist that he go with them.
Fu Jingshu couldn't refuse, but Lu Wanying said that if he didn't go, they wouldn't go either.
Chen Zhifeng pleaded with him repeatedly. Fu Jingshu was soft-hearted when he was young, otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to let the persistent Chen Zhifeng follow him.
So, the three of them went together.
As a result, they encountered Fu Jingshu's enemies midway, and they were stranded on a deserted island for three days.
Just before they were found by Fu's family and were about to escape danger, Chen Zhifeng was bitten by a venomous snake while saving Lu Wanying.
They had no antidote, and the poison spread rapidly throughout his body.
At that time, only he and Lu Wanying were there. By the time Fu Jingshu found them, it was too late to suck out the poisoned blood.
Chen Zhifeng died.
After returning, Lu Wanying locked herself in her room. When asked about Chen Zhifeng's death, Fu Jingshu did not explain, only saying it was his fault.
It was true, after all. Fu's enemies had come, and their target was him, and they had been implicated.
He knew that Chen Zhifeng liked Lu Wanying very much. When he learned that she was showing signs of depression and repeatedly harmed herself, he couldn't stand by and do nothing.
So he frequented the Lu family, and thus, rumors spread.
Then the subsequent events happened. Lu Wanying helped him by being... In fact, Lu Wanying didn't have to do that at the time.
If only she had believed in his ability.
But she still did it.
Fu Jingshu was burdened with a heavy debt of gratitude. Lu Wanying's parents wanted him to marry Lu Wanying, but he couldn't. She was his brother's lover.
He could take care of her and protect her, but he would never be with her.
Lu Wanying became more and more frantic. The Lu family had no choice but to send her away. When Fu Jingshu went to see her again, Lu Wanying was gone.
He asked, but the Lu family refused to say. He investigated himself, but was misled by the Lu family, and with the obstruction of Fu Tingyi and Fang Ruo,
He lost track of Lu Wanying.
Shen Qingqing listened to this story with great sadness. "This is completely not your fault. They wanted you to go, he sacrificed himself to save his beloved, and it was Lu Wanying's own choice."
He could bear the debt of gratitude, but he didn't need to feel guilty.
Fu Jingshu remained silent. He simply closed his eyes slightly and rested his head on her shoulder. At this moment, he was just an ordinary person suffocating under the weight of gratitude and guilt.
Shen Qingqing caressed his face. "It's okay, we can compensate Chen Zhisheng. I've checked, Chen Zhisheng is not living well. If we treat him better and help him find his daughter, everything can be rectified."
Fu Jingshu remained silent.
"I know what you're thinking," Shen Qingqing said softly. "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Chen Zhifeng is gone, but I think he was happy before he died because he protected the person he loved."
Fu Jingshu didn't understand before, nor would he believe it, but now, if he put himself in their shoes, he suddenly understood. "If it were me, I would make the same choice."
"You would shield Lu Wanying from the venomous snake?"
She suddenly raised her eyebrows, her gaze with a hint of sharpness.
Fu Jingshu chuckled, gazing at her. "Yes, but that would be out of gratitude. For you, it's out of love."
