Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-Two

Ah Zhao was by Fu Jingshu's side, and he rarely saw Seventh Brother drinking.Fu Jingshu also entertains a lot on weekdays, but he is always too restrained at the wine table, and he has his own set of evasion methods, so Ah Zhao, who is in charge of picking him up, usually finds that after the guests and hosts have a good time, the guests are too drunk. Almost there, he was still wide awake. Ah Zhao only heard Fang Deng once mentioned in a joke that the bottomless appearance on Fu Qijiu's table was just because of his cunning. In fact, his drinking capacity is very poor. Sometimes Fang Deng insisted on letting him accompany him for a few drinks. Cup, he must be the one who couldn't hold on and fell down first.

Now Ah Zhao knows, my sister did not lie. Fu Jingshu was drunk, not only because of the two cups of tequila, but also because he didn't want to be sober again. From his intermittent narration after drinking, Ah Zhao heard for the first time how helpless and confused he was when he first arrived in Malaysia and stood in front of the mansion in Kuala Lumpur, and also knew the complexity of his gratitude and fear for Mrs. Zheng Psychology, as well as his disgust and wariness towards the "relatives" who are fighting each other in the mansion. Fu Jingshu said that Mrs. Zheng's health is getting worse day by day, and she spends most of the time in the hospital bed throughout the year. Everyone says that she will live a long life, but they all know that her time is running out.Fu Weimin and his wife were also very anxious, and they tried every possible way to win back the old lady's heart, both openly and secretly. They had more opportunities to stay by the hospital bed than Fu Jingshu, who was busy with business, and had a lot of opportunities to show courtesy.

The eldest son of Fu Weimin and his wife has already turned 18 years old. It is said that he is very smart and enterprising.Both of them expressed that they are willing to let the eldest son change his mother's surname. In this way, this child can also inherit the incense of the Fu family, and also has Mrs. Zheng's blood on his body, which is far more important than Fu Qi, a lowly bastard. It is worthy of the Fu family's foundation.Mrs. Zheng is still unmoved. Whenever her daughter and son-in-law mention it, they only say that the child is still young. Fu Qi has done very well in these years, but no one can guarantee whether she will be able to do so before the deadline is approaching, or some After a coma, he suddenly changed his decision.Mrs. Zheng's two younger brothers are always fools. Today they are polite to Fu Jingshu, but as soon as they hear the news, they will immediately turn their faces and deny anyone.

Fu Jingshu held a shaking wine glass and said to Ah Zhao, don't look at him being able to suppress that group of people for the time being, maybe it will be nothing in a blink of an eye, and all the hard work he has invested in the Fu family these years will be for others Make wedding clothes. All Ah Zhao could do was to keep lifting Fu Jingshu's crooked body and wipe away the wine spilled from his cup.He knew that Seventh Brother had always had a hard time, but Seventh Brother always acted as if he was taking things lightly. He had only now discovered that all the glory in front of people was actually so dangerous behind the scenes.

Ah Zhao also knew that Seventh Brother went to find Fang Deng in the afternoon.Fang Deng's new residence was discovered by Ah Zhao. He thought that this time Brother Seven went to persuade him to seek peace, and his sister would definitely settle down with Brother Seven.My family, is there any knot in my heart that cannot be solved?Unexpectedly, after returning, Seventh Brother turned out to be like this.Fu Jingshu never mentioned Fang Deng when he was drunk, but no matter how stupid Ah Zhao was, he could guess that it was all because of his sister. For the first time, Ah Zhao complained about her sister in her heart. Women like to admit death and get entangled in trivial matters, so why can't they be more considerate of men's difficulties.From Ah Zhao's point of view, Seventh Brother cared enough about his sister. Could it be that she was really determined to go with that man surnamed Lu?Ah Zhao couldn't figure out this result, and absolutely couldn't accept it.He, sister, and Brother Seven have lived together in peace for so many years, and there is no reason for a stranger who came out halfway to break everything.

Thinking of this, Ah Zhao panicked and couldn't help asking. "Brother Seven, my sister really refuses to come back? What do you think she is thinking?" Fu Jingshu leaned back on the sofa and said to Ah Zhao: "Let me ask you a question first, why do many people share the hardships but not the sweetness?" Ah Zhao shook his head to express his ignorance.In his dictionary, "share weal and woe" is an iron law. Of course, Fu Jingshu never thought Ah Zhao could give him the answer, he said to himself: "Because the former has no choice, but the latter has."

In fact, Ah Zhao still doesn't know much about it, he only cares about one thing, "My sister is leaving, what should I do now?" Fu Jingshu smiled, "Azhao, I'm not omnipotent. There are some things we can't do anything about. If we can't keep her, we can only let her go. I promised her to let her go wherever she wants to go." Ah Zhao was greatly surprised by this answer, and his heart sank.He couldn't help clenching his fist with one hand, and slammed it on the coffee table, causing the wine glass and the poured bottle to shake. "How can she do this?"

"Why can't she?" Fu Jingshu asked back, "Don't blame her, we didn't think about her. If I were her, I might have left early. Fang Deng is right, what can I give her if I stay? Yes Sometimes I also feel that I am human, but in front of her, I am a waste. Ah Zhao, you asked me the other day, what is your sister to me? This question is very simple, but I can’t answer it. I dare not think about that answer. Fang Deng is like myself, she doesn’t want to hear such words anymore, but for me, this is the truth. Whenever I see her, it’s like seeing the past that I don’t want to recall, There is another side that cannot be seen. I am afraid of her, and I can't let her go."

Ah Zhao only had one simple idea. "Isn't the person you love the most also yourself?" Fu Jingshu drank too much and could no longer hold on. The last glass of wine in his hand was spilled on the sofa, and he was already groggy.It took a lot of effort for Ah Zhao to barely hear his raving words clearly. "...Love is extremely translated into never giving up...a ​​poem written by Chen Sanyuan...I am nothing, and the only one who can let go is myself...she has seen through my shamelessness...go...go... That's fine too." Ah Zhao hurriedly supported Fu Jingshu to lie down on the sofa, then sat aside and stared blankly for a while.What love is is too complicated a puzzle for him.It seems that he has never been in love, and Akiko's face occasionally appears in his mind, and he can't wait to empty her out.The only love he has ever seen is his sister's feelings for Seventh Brother. This should be the one thing Seventh Brother was most convinced of. Is this even going to change now?

He heard a slight vibration, which was particularly noticeable in the middle of the night. It was the mobile phone that Brother Qi had thrown in the corner of the sofa.Ah Zhao picked up the phone, thinking whether to wake Brother Qi up, but saw a message from Fang Deng displayed on the screen.After hesitating for less than a second, he clicked on the text message, which contained only one sentence. "I loved you." Ah Zhao looked back at Fu Jingshu who was lying on the sofa with closed eyes and frowning, and silently deleted the message. The next day, Fu Jingshu still arrived at the office on time.After he woke up, he spent a long time cleaning in the bathroom. Rather than saying that he hated the smell of alcohol on his body, it was better to say that he rejected the self who was cowardly and dependent on alcohol.

After nine o'clock, the assistant called in, saying that a lady who didn't have an appointment wanted to see him.Fu Jingshu's first thought was Fang Deng, he stood up, and suddenly remembered how ridiculous he was.The assistant has been with him for several years, how could Fang Deng not even know that alcohol is indeed a terrible thing.He sat down and rubbed his eyebrows, and asked the other person's last name. The assistant said her name was Jia Mingzi. When Ming Zi walked into the office, what he saw was Fu Jingshu who was always sober and calm.They had dinner together a few times, but it had never happened before that she took the initiative to come to him at the office. Fu Jingshu exchanged some polite greetings with her, the secretary brought in the coffee she had ordered when they were dining together, Ming Zi took a sip, a little surprised and admiring.Ah Zhao is always so careless, reckless, and doesn't care about anything. He and Fu Jingshu are close, but they are two completely opposite existences. "If you want to find me, you can actually call me first, and I'll send someone to pick you up after get off work." Fu Jingshu said politely. Ming Zi replied: "The reason why I came to the office is because I'm not sure whether my purpose of coming today is a business or a private matter." "Oh?" Fu Jingshu made a gesture of wanting to hear more about it. "Will you still marry me?" Now even Fu Jingshu had to show a surprised expression.He pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Don't you want the feeling of a bang?" "It's enough to fry it once." Mingzi put down his coffee and stared at the person behind the desk without changing his face, "You don't know what I'm talking about. I'm afraid what I did is a joke in your eyes .” "It's not a sin for a girl your age to want a vigorous love, and I'm not surprised either." Fu Jingshu said softly. Mingzi curled his lips and smiled, "Love can be talked about casually, no matter how vigorous it looks. I also thought he loved me, and swore that I was a part of his body. Hehe, I only found out later that I am a cecum. It's hemorrhoids, anyway, it's the part that can be cut off at any time. I don't want to lie to you, and I know I can't. Since I'm here today, it means I've made up my mind. Will you or not, you just need a word." Fu Jingshu seemed to appreciate the other party's non-sloppy personality. He played with the signature pen in his hand and said slowly: "Let me guess, is there something wrong with your family? Or..." His eyes clearly passed her A certain part of the body is moved away quickly in order not to be rude, but the meaning is self-evident. "My father is right, you are a smart person." Mingzi straightened up subconsciously, as if to make himself more firm, "You guessed it right." Even though he was mentally prepared, Fu Jingshu remained silent for a while. "Does he know?" he asked. Ming Zi shook his head, "I will never tell him, no matter whether our deal is successful or not, please keep this secret for me." "You told me 'deal'?" Fu Jingshu's smile was quite interesting. "To put it bluntly, isn't that the case? If you are willing to use a better way of saying it, I can also cooperate." Mingzi said. "You have to think clearly!" Fu Jingshu's words meant that she was afraid that she would be too rash, and he would not pay for other people's impulses at will. Ming Zi's face turned pale, but he still said in a deep voice: "I think clearly. You should also know that my family cannot tolerate this child, and I must give him a legitimate identity." "You never thought about Ah Zhao..." "Don't mention him, he's not worthy." Ming Zi didn't let Fu Jingshu finish his sentence.She raised her voice a little, but her expression was firm, and she could see that she was not angry, "He will not be a good father. Even if he changes his mind, there will be no obstacles in my family, and it is impossible for me and him. The child is my own , has nothing to do with anyone. After you marry me, you can do whatever you want, and I want a title. This deal is not a disadvantage for you, you can get Fu Jiayuan, and your old lady Zheng in the end We will separate after the old lady's hundred years, then the Fu family will already be yours, and you can do whatever you want." Fu Jingshu smiled and bowed his head in silence. "Why, are you afraid that you won't be able to wear this 'green hat'?" Ming Zi said provocatively. "When I was doing business, I only talked about business and didn't know anything else." Fu Jingshu said with a smile, "I was just thinking about whether this business is worth doing." Ming Zi finally couldn't hide his eagerness, "What about now, what do you think?" Fu Jingshu said, "It sounds pretty good." A week later, Fu Jingshu and Jia Mingzi both went to Taipei and Kuala Lumpur to formally visit the parents of both sides.As soon as they left, Ah Zhao went to find Fang Deng. Fang Deng and Lu Yi had just returned from shopping in a nearby supermarket, and met Ah Zhao downstairs by accident. "Sister!" Ah Zhao called her. Fang Deng said in surprise, "Why are you here?" "I have something to tell you." Ah Zhao walked towards Fang Deng, and when he passed by Lu Yi, he bumped into Lu Yi heavily with his shoulder, and he didn't apologize, the disgust and contempt in his eyes were obvious. "What are you doing!" Fang Deng scolded. Lu Yi's body was shaken by Ah Zhao's force.He met Ah Zhao and knew that he was like Fang Deng's younger brother, so he didn't lose his temper. He said to Fang Deng in a good-tempered manner, "Talk slowly, I'll take the things upstairs first." Ah Zhao glanced at Lu Yi's back, and spat forcefully on the ground. "Worthless!" "Su Guangguang, say it again." Fang Deng said coldly. The only times she called him by his full name were when she actually lost her temper.Although Ah Zhao didn't think he was wrong, but he didn't want to confront her at this time, so he could only argue: "Do you think he looks like a man when he is afraid of getting into trouble?" "That's right, only those who speak with their fists like you are real men!" Fang Deng sneered. Ah Zhao said with a sullen face, "I hate this man, and I hate you being with him even more." "When you came to persuade me to approach this person for your seventh brother, why didn't you say such a thing?" "I didn't know you would take it seriously then. Why mess with him when you've got what you want?" His righteous appearance made Fang Deng feel sad, "You are more and more like Fu Qi." Fang Deng began to suspect that his decision to let Ah Zhao follow Fu Qi was wrong. If he was still performing ramen in the hot pot restaurant, he might still be a simple and happy young man, a little impulsive and stubborn, but at least he has a kind heart.Now under the influence of his ears and eyes, Ah Zhao is getting closer and closer to the seventh brother he admires, but he does not have Fu Qi's rationality and restraint, and only inherits the sinister and fierce side of Fu Qi. "Sister, wake up, this gamble is too outrageous!" "Even you think I'm being angry? I don't want to explain anymore, I have the freedom to be angry." Fang Deng said lightly, "I've never been so sober, and I only regret that I woke up too late." "You fell out with Seventh Brother because of such a man, even disregarding our friendship for so many years, is this still called sobriety?" Ah Zhao said loudly. Fang Deng said: "If I don't care about affection, I won't just walk away. Could it be that I haven't done enough for Fu Qi? As for you, Ah Zhao, what do I owe you?" "Sister, I don't want you to go." Ah Zhao shook Fang Deng's arm, just like he did when he was a child, "What drug did Lu give you? I'm going to find him to settle the score." "Don't mess around, this matter has nothing to do with Lu Yi, it's my decision." Fang Deng warned. "You don't know how sad Brother Seven is." "Is he sad? I'm not sad? I can only live for him for the rest of my life? I've had enough. Now I just want to live a normal life. I want to live for myself once." "When you caught me with Mingzi, how did you persuade me? You told me to cut off contact with her immediately. I listened to you, but when it's your turn, what did you do?" "These are two different things!" Fang Deng realized that there was no reason to speak in front of Ah Zhao. Ah Zhao shouted: "What's the difference? I can give up Mingzi, the one with the surname Lu is that important?" "Do you love Jia Mingzi? You're just playing with fire!" "How do you know that I don't love you? What is love? If you love Lu, you don't care about anything? I'm not as selfish as you. The most important things in my heart are you and Brother Seven. Our friendship is more important than anything else." All precious." This is not the first time Fang Deng has seen Ah Zhao's paranoia.Maybe only those who have had enough of loneliness tend to be particularly dependent and fanatical about certain emotions. Ah Zhao is like this for his imaginary "home", isn't she once like this for Fu Qi? "I can't tell you right now. What happened between you and Jia Mingzi, it's my fault. If you love her, don't let go. One day you will understand that everything is fake, only if you are willing to spend your whole life Accompany you, the one who can see and touch is worthy of your sacrifice." Ah Zhao didn't seem to have heard Fang Deng's words, and still said relentlessly, "I just want to ask you a question. Sister, do you really want to go with him?" "Yes!" Fang Deng answered simply and simply, and she took Ah Zhao's hand, "You are no longer young, and you don't need me anymore. People can't always be like they were when they were young. Ah Zhao, we can't go back In the past, if you still cherish that bit of affection, let's separate before it is completely exhausted. Stay far away, at least have some thoughts left, otherwise..." "What if I beg you?" Ah Zhao gritted his teeth, and at some point, his eyes were already red. Fang Deng turned his face away, not wanting to see his current appearance, and said ruthlessly, "I'm sorry, Ah Zhao, I can't turn back. You can go." Seeing that he was still motionless, she had to turn around and leave first. "Sister! I have no parents since I was a child. When I was bullied in the orphanage, I always thought that I should die sooner and be reborn into a better family in my next life. Then I met you and Brother Seven. So good, I feel that life is meaningful, I have relatives. My family is you, once you leave, my family will be scattered!" Ah Zhao's voice was crying, like a helpless child.Fang Deng didn't look back, sooner or later he would wake up and find that the real home is not what he imagined.They are not family members, they are just companions who walked the night road together. Only when she is gone, he will grow up and find his refuge.
