Chapter 443 Leng Shide's Consolation
When An Xiaoyue brought Leng Shide to Songtao Garden, Fu Shengyang was already downstairs in the dining room.
He instructed the servants to place the dishes in the appropriate positions, and then picked up baby food scissors to cut the green vegetables in the lucky bowl a little shorter.
To prevent accidentally eating overly long vegetables that could get stuck in your esophagus and cause discomfort.
When the time comes, if you pull it with your hand, Lucky will gag and vomit up all the food he has eaten.
My grandfather is sick and bedridden. Only when the sun is out in the morning will the caregiver push him downstairs to bask in the sun in the yard.
Grandpa is still too ashamed because of Jiang Kai's matter.
In his mind, this matter was already over.
But Grandpa couldn't get over his inner turmoil, and he would always feel uncomfortable when he saw him.
He wouldn't stay with his grandfather unless Xiaoyue came along.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his beloved wife swinging her arms and following beside Grandpa Leng in the yard.
Lucky was nestled in her great-grandfather's arms, her eyes crinkling with laughter, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck. This affectionate gesture delighted Grandpa Leng.
See? As long as there are members of the Leng family, they won't let Xiaoyue carry the twenty-plus-pound Lucky while walking.
He couldn't possibly let Xiaoyue, who was so beloved, suffer even the slightest hardship.
Fu Shengyang wiped his hands and went out to greet them.
"Grandpa is here."
Leng Shide responded with a smile, "Yes, Sheng Yang."
After greeting her, he asked An Xiaoyue, "Where's your uncle?"
“My uncle has a job, so my senior classmate Wang Xiaoming brought my grandfather over.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Shengyang frowned slightly and hesitated before asking, "Is your senior brother... married?"
Why does Sheng Yang always pay attention to whether other people are married?
An Xiaoyue gave him a strange look.
Then she realized that Sheng Yang's purpose in asking this question was to prevent the other party from undermining her.
She often mentioned the name Wang Xiaoming while organizing medical records.
How could Sheng Yang, who loves sour foods so much, not care?
She smiled, then her smile faded. "Yes, senior brother..."
An Xiaoyue deliberately dragged out the last syllable, trying to tease Fu Shengyang.
Sure enough, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
An Xiaoyue pursed her lips. "He has a lively and lovely daughter who is in kindergarten. Her name is Wang Zhiyi, which is very beautiful. My senior often posts pictures of the delicious food his wife makes on his WeChat Moments, as well as videos of him taking his child out to play. The three of them live a very happy life."
When An Xiaoyue talked about other people's daughters, her beautiful eyes were filled with envy.
She also wants a daughter.
When Fu Shengyang heard that the other party was married and had children, he suddenly thought that the name Wang Xiaoming sounded quite pleasant.
Leng Shide carried Xingyun ahead, and as he overheard the young couple's conversation, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
Sheng Yang is such a jealous kid.
“Xiaoming is a doctoral student I mentored. He is hardworking and conscientious. His wife is also busy with work. He and Xiaoyue are responsible for compiling Grandpa’s medical records. Sometimes, he may bring Zhiyi to Fuyuan. Could you help look after the child?”
When his grandfather overheard his thoughts, Fu Shengyang put his hand on An Xiaoyue's waist, feeling embarrassed.
He said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely not hold Xiaoyue back. I will fully support her work and studies."
That's what they said, but the hand on An Xiaoyue's waist was anything but well-behaved.
An Xiaoyue raised her hand and slapped his butt.
Her beautiful eyes widened, warning him to behave himself.
Fu Shengyang immediately composed himself, his smile widening.
They entered the living room one after the other. With a glance from Fu Shengyang, Uncle Fu took the elevator up to the second floor to pick up Fu Jinyun for dinner.
Even with Leng Shide present at the table today, everyone still ate their own food.
As Lucky grew older, his range of activities expanded.
Either food falls on the floor, or soup bowls are overturned.
He was all alone, but it was quite lively.
No one stopped him or fed him.
He was left to sit alone in the dining chair, fiddling around.
After finishing their meal, An Xiaoyue and Fu Shengyang left with Lucky, giving the two grandfathers some space to be alone.
The only sound in the large living room was the voice of the news anchor on the television.
Halfway through the news, Leng Shide finally spoke.
"what are you thinking?"
Fu Jinyun's hands, which were resting on her knees, slowly tightened.
"What can I think?" A bitter smile appeared on his lips. "I'm old, my mind isn't working well, I can't see things clearly, I can only leave it to fate. What's the use of what I think?"
Leng Shide shook his head, disagreeing with him.
"Then you still need to continue learning. When a person is on their deathbed and looks back on their life, their mind is clear, and they can say many profound truths and life maxims. You haven't seen it clearly yet, and God doesn't want to take you up to trouble Him."
Fu Jinyun knew his friend's intentions, but he knew his physical condition better than anyone else.
He smiled helplessly and didn't say anything.
The two continued watching the news on television.
After an important news broadcast ended, Leng Shide's voice rang out again.
"If you want to, no one can take you away from me, not even the King of Hell."
Fu Jinyun took out a handkerchief and wiped her swollen eyes.
Tears soaked the fabric, leaving a stain.
Then Leng Shide said, "For Xiaoyue's sake, I will use all my knowledge to keep you here. My Xiaoyue, before even graduating from university, has already given birth to the eldest grandson of your Fu family. Now, before you can even get rid of the good fortune, you want to abandon everything in the Fu family and leave it all to the two children. This irresponsible attitude is not your style, Fu Jinyun."
Upon hearing this, Fu Jinyun's lips trembled; he wanted to say something.
In the end, he didn't say anything.
His thoughtful gaze fell on the cabinet next to the television.
There is a family photo taken after Lucky was born.
Luck, back then, still lies beside Xiaoyue's pillow, small and short.
There was also a photo of the four of them taken at a hot spring hotel on New Year's Day.
Lucky was nestled in his arms, staring intently ahead with a serious expression, while Sheng Yang and Xiao Yue behind him smiled happily.
There's also a photo of him and his wife...
Many, many photos.
Each one represents a moment in his life when he felt the greatest happiness.
Leng Shide saw that Fu Jinyun was not speaking, but staring blankly at the photo, with tears glistening in her eyes.
He pressed his advantage, "I know you feel guilty towards Wan Tang. She's a child I watched grow up, and the current situation is heartbreaking. But have you ever considered that if you had been as strict with her as you were with Sheng Yang, her life would be different? You only think about making up for your guilt towards Wan Tang through Jiang Kai, but have you considered that you're following Wan Tang's path? If you truly want to be good to Jiang Kai, the best thing you can do is help him reform himself, help him calm down and reflect on his actions; help him become an upright and kind person, help him adapt to society, integrate into society, and live an ordinary life."
After Leng Shide finished speaking, tears had already blurred Fu Jinyun's eyes.
Since his wife passed away, no one has dared to say "no" to his decisions.
He hadn't heard such heartfelt words in a long time.
Leng Shide didn't say anything more. He took the clean handkerchief that Uncle Fu handed him and quietly kept his friend of decades company.
At this moment, regardless of age or whether they are children, they are simply friends.
The playful bickering of youth, the mutual encouragement of middle age, and the companionship of old age.
He gained a good friend just so that at this moment, someone could enlighten him with a single word.
Yes, Changfeng Group has made rapid progress and is showing an upward trend.
Sheng Yang is a man who needs to be both at home and outside.
When he was around, Sheng Yang would occasionally bring him some luck, and the young couple would go out to relax.
Xiaoyue hasn't graduated yet.
Sheng Yang's small family still needs his support.
As for Jiang Kai...
He didn't want his daughter Fu Wantang's tragedy to be repeated in Jiang Kai's life.
He still has so many things to do; he can't just leave this world like this.
“Old Leng, I was narrow-minded. Don’t worry, I will never leave at this time. I will listen to you and live a few more years. When Xiaoyue graduates and Changfeng reaches a higher level, I will bring Jiang Kai back to the right path and not cause trouble for Shengyang and Xiaoyue. I will also make up for the mistakes I made.”
Leng Shide was pleased. “We’ve been brothers for life. I understand you, and you have your worries too. Many things are intertwined, becoming the trivialities of life. Whatever happens, we can play a few more games of chess or write a few more strokes of calligraphy, and we’ll get through it.”
Fu Jinyun nodded, "Yes, it's been a long time since I've written calligraphy, practiced Tai Chi, or fed the fish."
That night, the two old men had a very pleasant conversation.
Fu Shengyang came over halfway through, thinking it was time to take Grandpa Leng home.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Songtao Garden, he saw two smiling faces illuminated by the lamplight.
Uncle Fu stepped forward and said, "It's been a long time since I've heard the old master laugh so heartily. I guess Old Master Leng won't be going home tonight either. Sir, you should rest first."
"Okay, remind them not to stay up too late."
After giving his instructions, Fu Shengyang returned to Buzhichun to rest.
