Chapter 531 Uncle Lu, could you please not send my mother away?
Seeing the child's frightened eyes, Lu Jiangting felt heartbroken again.
He forced a smile, "Chenchen's back. Where did you go to play with your friends?"
"The basketball court behind."
"Chenchen can play basketball now? That's amazing."
Wang Chenchen thought to herself, "Isn't this what you taught me?"
"Uncle Lu, did you and my mom have another fight?"
No...no.
"I heard everything, Uncle Lu, could you please not send my mother away?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
"I only have my mother left. If you drive my mother away, I will have no family left." Wang Chenchen looked up at Lu Jiangting pitifully.
Lu Jiangting was heartbroken. He understood the reasoning behind it, but he didn't want Fang Qing to be so arrogant.
Life has become like this, and everyone is suffering.
Now that things have come to this, Lu Jiangting seems to have come to understand some of the truth.
There are limits to repaying kindness, and there should be boundaries to how much we should take care of them.
He had no bottom line, and she took advantage of his kindness.
He lacked discretion and became entangled with her.
Unfortunately, by the time I understood the道理 (principles/reasoning), it was all too late.
"Chenchen, no matter what, Uncle Lu will always take care of you."
Wang Chenchen pouted, looking like she was holding back tears.
He looked at Fang Qing, who was also looking at him with tears streaming down her face.
Fang Qing now understands that Lu Jiangting is unreliable.
The only person she could rely on in this world was her own son, Chenchen.
"Chenchen, come to Mommy."
Wang Chenchen put down the dirty ball and went to Fang Qing's side.
Fang Qing wiped away her tears and asked Wang Chenchen in a tearful voice, "Can Mommy take you with her when we leave?"
Lu Jiangting was taken aback.
Wang Chenchen asked, "Where are we going?"
“Let’s go back to our hometown. You can go find your grandparents. You’re your grandfather’s eldest grandson, so he won’t mistreat you. From now on, you can live with them, and Mom will go out to work to earn money to support your schooling.”
Fang Qing is quite talented; she's managed to seize control of Lu Jiangting's lifeline.
"Fang Qing, you want to ruin Chenchen? No way. Let me tell you, I will fight for custody of Chenchen, and you can't take him away."
Fang Qing sneered, "You keep saying you want a divorce, and you even say you're going to take Chenchen away. You know what, I was worried you'd take Chenchen away, so I specifically consulted a lawyer. He said with your qualifications, the chances of getting Chenchen are indeed quite high, but..."
Fang Qing laughed and said, "But I can't have children now. I've lost my fertility. No one has the right to take away the only child my deceased husband left me. Lu Jiangting, you can't win."
Lu Jiangting's expression changed drastically.
Does Fang Qing's inability to have children mean he can't win the lawsuit?
This is a blind spot for him; he'll have to find an opportunity to consult with the legal department.
On the bed, Lu Cong silently closed his eyes.
He felt that his useless son had lost again in this battle.
His health is getting worse and worse, which is really worrying. What will happen if he loses his family one day?
Fang Qing is a very cunning woman; my son can't handle her at all.
……
Lin Yuyao and her group set off from the hotel early in the morning and arrived at their hometown by noon.
The old man knew they were coming back, so he waited at the door early in the morning.
Seeing a car from the south of the city approaching from afar, he immediately beamed with joy.
The car stopped at the entrance, and Fu Huaiyi, in the passenger seat, rolled down the window to greet him, "Grandpa."
Fu Wen helped the old man walk over.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you letting your wife drive? You sure know how to enjoy yourself."
Lin Yuyao, who was in the driver's seat, said, "Grandpa, we take turns driving. He drove for three hours, and I only drove for one hour after that."
"You can speak for him then."
Fu Huaiyi: "..." How is this considered helping?
“Really, I was worried he was driving while fatigued, so I forced him to switch.”
Fu Huaiyi wore an innocent expression, thinking to himself, "Look, it's not that I don't want to drive, it's that my wife won't let me."
"Tsk, that's so useless, driving while fatigued after only three hours."
Fu Huaiyi: "..." So it's all my fault?
"Back in the day, I personally rushed to deliver supplies. I drove for more than 20 hours straight without sleep and nothing happened."
"Ha, you're amazing. You're so capable, try driving for more than twenty hours right now."
"Pah! You little brat, are you bullying me because I'm old? Won't you get old someday? You'll always be my grandson. What are you doing back here? You've come back to make me angry."
Everyone: "..."
Someone else came out of the house. "Dad, what's wrong? Why are you scolding A-Yi and the others again as soon as they got back?"
"Hmph." The old man snorted coldly and had Fu Wen help him back.
Fu Huaiyi looked puzzled. "What's wrong with Grandpa?"
Fu Xingye sighed and said, "Ever since your grandfather came back from the hospital last time, his temper has escalated considerably."
"Grandpa's in the hospital?" Fu Huaiyi asked in surprise. "Why didn't you tell me?"
“That was a crucial time for your work, and he wouldn’t let us tell you.”
"So what happens now?"
"Okay, it's okay."
What illness does he have?
"Sigh! It's just that he's getting old, and he had a stroke, a common problem for many elderly people. It's nothing serious. His temper is unstable because..."
He stopped talking.
Fu Huaiyi frowned halfway through the conversation and asked, "What exactly is the illness? Dad, do you even know?"
Fu Xingye glanced at Fu Huaiyi, then at Lin Yuyao who was equally anxious beside him, sighed, and stammered, "Old age... old age depression."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"Grandpa was perfectly fine, how could he have depression?"
"Oh dear, it's all the fault of those friends who came to see him. They kept saying how old he is and how this and that was. It sounded like they were just trying to show they cared, but you know your grandfather's personality. He's so old and still thinks he's so capable. If you say he's not good enough, he'll get angry. He didn't like what you just said."
Fu Huaiyi was a little annoyed. "I was just joking with him, why did it have to be like this?"
Lin Yuyao, who was standing nearby, said, "Grandpa has always been a strong man. He feels anxious and uneasy as his health gradually declines, and he is quite prone to depression. You should watch your words."
"Yes, yes, that's what the doctor said too."
Fu Xingye had his men quickly move their belongings inside. Looking at the car, he patted the hood and said, "This is the car your sister bought for you overseas?"
"Yes, Dad, what do you think?"
"But give me the keys, I'll drive it around for a bit."
"Row."
He handed him the keys, and Fu Xingye started the car and drove off.
When Fu Huaiyi and Lin Yuyao returned home, they only saw their grandfather.
"Where's my mother?"
"Hmph." The old man snorted irritably and ignored him.
Lin Yuyao took out the peanut brittle that Ye Lian had made for her. "Grandpa, my mother knew you liked this, so she made some especially for you. Please try some."
The old man glanced down at it, looking rather uninterested, picked up a piece with two fingers, put it in his mouth, and crunched it.
