Chen Zhifeng wrote many things in the letter.
"Brother Fu, I'm truly happy to have met you. I once thought I would be crushed by the weight of my family's burdens, but after meeting you, I realized those were my own problems, my own shortcomings. Later, spending more time with you, I understood that there really are such formidable people in this world.
"It was you who led me in business, allowing my family to live happy lives. I even found a girlfriend, my goddess! I actually know she likes you... but it's okay. If she likes Brother Fu, it means my goddess has high standards! Brother Fu, thank you. In my next life, I'll repay you by being your ox or horse.
"I don't know why I suddenly felt like writing this? People say you have premonitions before death. Do I have one too? Haha, that's unlikely. Anyway, I just wanted to write. Brother Fu, I'm not good with words, but I just want to say that I've always considered you my brother, and you'll always be my big brother.
...
Reading to this point, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but look at Fu Jingshu. He had his eyes downcast, and as usual, his expression rarely revealed much, making it impossible to discern the emotions in his eyes.
But she knew he must have been moved.
"Perhaps, he also had a premonition." Shen Qingqing actually agreed with the unspoken thought. People have sixth senses; it's just a matter of how accurate they are.
Fu Jingshu placed the letter on the table, hugged her waist, and buried his face in her neck.
At this moment, no one knew what he was thinking.
Shen Qingqing didn't ask. She simply relaxed her body, letting him lean more comfortably. For something like this, anyone would find it difficult to immediately let go.
He needed quiet.
In the stillness, it was unclear how much time had passed. Shen Qingqing was on the verge of falling asleep when she suddenly jolted awake to find him looking down at her.
The darkness in his eyes had receded, as if containing a starry sky, with a hint of a smile.
She blinked. "Do you want to go eat?"
"Okay."
She didn't ask about his mood, and he didn't offer it.
Hand in hand, they went downstairs to eat. It was just dinnertime, and Old Mrs. Fu, Xixi, and Chenchen were already waiting downstairs.
The two children sat obediently, looking at them in unison.
"Daddy, Mommy, time to eat."
As they walked to the dining table and were about to sit down, there was a knock at the door. The maid went to open it, only to be shoved backward and fall to the ground.
Everyone looked and saw Lu Wanying.
Her expression was unexpectedly calm. As soon as she entered, she asked, "Where is Nuonuo?"
Shen Qingqing said calmly, "He went with his father."
"You're lying to me!" Lu Wanying completely refused to believe it, insisting, "She wouldn't leave me. She's the daughter I raised from childhood. She wouldn't go with anyone else!"
"You know how you treated her. You thought she would always be with you, so you acted without restraint. But you should know that no one will tolerate you unconditionally. Moreover, she isn't your daughter to begin with."
They had no blood relation. If she didn't maintain the relationship well, it was only a matter of time before she left.
Lu Wanying clenched her fists, her expression gradually becoming hysterical. "It was you! You found Chen Zhisheng! Shen Qingqing, you're too cruel! To deal with me, you actually separated mother and daughter!"
Shen Qingqing narrowed her eyes and reminded her, "You weren't mother and daughter to begin with."
Stolen, how could that be mother and daughter?
"We are!" Lu Wanying was deluded. "She calls me Mom, and I raised her for many years. How dare you say she's not my daughter?! You wicked woman, you demon! You took my child, you want my life, I'll fight you!"
She still wanted to resort to her old tricks. But after this period of treatment, having escaped, she was no longer the person who would act recklessly when her condition flared up.
The treatment had been effective.
She no longer had that madness, and her pretense of insanity seemed somewhat fake.
Yet, even so, it startled Old Mrs. Fu. Being older, she was genuinely frightened by people who were locked away and had lost their minds.
Shen Qingqing didn't say a word and easily subdued her, pinning her to the ground. She looked at her coldly. "Your act of pretending to be crazy is useless."
"Let me go!"
"Call her family," Shen Qingqing glanced at Fu Jingshu.
He had been about to act, his hand still raised in mid-air. Hearing this, he quickly took out his phone and called Lu Wanying's father.
The other end immediately assured them that they would come to pick her up within ten minutes.
While waiting, Lu Wanying remained unwilling, spewing curses with extremely vulgar words. However, neither Shen Qingqing nor Fu Jingshu paid her any mind. They sat down and ate their meal peacefully.
As for her, she was already tied up with rope and couldn't cause any further trouble.
Soon, the Lu family arrived.
They happened to arrive just as Fu Jingshu and the others finished their meal. Lu Wanying lay collapsed on the ground, looking at them blankly, her eyes darting around, her thoughts unknown.
Seeing this scene, Lu's father felt distressed, but he still apologized to Fu Jingshu. "I'm sorry. I wasn't watching my child closely enough. She slipped away when I wasn't paying attention."
Fu Jingshu sat on the sofa, holding Shen Qingqing, his gaze slightly cold. "This is the last time."
Lu's father knew he had little patience. He had tolerated his daughter before because she had done him a favor, but that was no longer the case. Naturally, his patience had run out, and he dared not defy him.
"I understand. Don't worry, I won't let her cause any more trouble for you."
"Mr. Lu, I advise you to take her to the hospital for a check-up." Shen Qingqing glanced at Lu Wanying on the ground, who appeared dazed but was clearly scheming with her eyes darting about. "While mental illness may not be punishable by law, if a mentally recovered person is using the pretense of mental illness to harm others... you should know the consequences, shouldn't you?"
Even if Lu Wanying was willing to risk it, the Lu family could not afford to ruin their century-old reputation for her.
Lu's father's expression changed slightly. He subconsciously glanced at Lu Wanying and gritted his teeth. "Don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on her."
"Keep a close eye on her," he emphasized these words.
Shen Qingqing finally seemed satisfied. "Then I won't see you out."
After Lu's father took Lu Wanying away, Old Mrs. Fu sighed. "Finally, the trouble has been resolved..."
Just then, Fu Tingsheng returned, in a hurry.
"I heard Lu Wanying came looking for trouble again. Are you all right?"
It turned out that the moment Lu Wanying burst in, the maid had called Fu Tingsheng. He had dropped everything at the company and rushed back.
"We're fine. The Lu family has already taken her away."
"That's good." Fu Tingsheng was relieved. He placed his briefcase on the table and looked at Fu Jingshu. "When are you two going on your honeymoon?"
"We're already planning it."
Fu Jingshu had long since asked Lin Mo to prepare the travel itinerary. Taking advantage of his bringing up the topic, he looked at his beautiful wife beside him.
"Let's leave tomorrow, shall we?"
Old Mrs. Fu and Fu Tingsheng rubbed their arms. Although it wasn't the first time they had heard their grandson speak to Qing Qing in such a gentle tone.
But every time they heard it, they felt extremely unaccustomed.
Shen Qingqing rested her chin on her hand. "Okay, then tomorrow."
They handed over the company to Fu Tingsheng and Lin Mo, packed their bags, booked their tickets, and prepared to depart. Their first stop was the gentle Jiangnan region, like flowing water.
However, just as they were about to board the plane, they received a call and had to return immediately.
