Chapter 325 Cherish the Present Moment
An Xiaoyue didn't interrupt her grandfather. She put down the black chess piece and listened quietly to what her grandfather had to say.
"Business was really tough those years. Of the few families we knew, only your grandfather's family, a family of doctors, wasn't affected much."
"The other families, the Chu family, and our family have all been greatly impacted, especially the Chu family."
"The Chu family underwent a complete upheaval during that period."
"Chu Xiao's grandfather was thinking of expanding his business overseas. He bought a ship ticket and never came back. Not a single person on the ship survived."
"Grandma Chu also suffered a mental breakdown around that time, sometimes lucid and sometimes confused, and she couldn't recognize everyone."
"After that, everything in the Chu family fell on your Uncle Chu's shoulders, and later Chu Xiao's mother also died in a car accident."
"Without a father to lead the way, his beloved wife gone, his mother mentally unstable, and his young child, remarrying is also a way to solve his predicament."
Fu Jinyun recalled the hardships of those years, and a cloud of worry crept into her temples.
"Leaving aside the grudges, Chu Jinhuai has come this far on his own and handed over his business to Chu Xiao. That's quite an achievement."
"Although there are many shortcomings, I have never done anything that is morally wrong."
"He was willing but unable to help Chu Xiao, and his good intentions backfired."
After Fu Jinyun finished speaking, he sighed again.
This was the first time An Xiaoyue had heard about the older generation of the Chu family.
Whether you're looking at it from Uncle Chu's perspective or Brother Chu's perspective...
Based on the various versions, it is impossible to determine who is right and who is wrong.
The Chu family suffered a devastating tragedy, with its members destroyed and its inhabitants killed. Uncle Chu was doing everything he could to keep the family intact.
However, Uncle Chu had chosen the wrong person.
Huang Xiue was really not a woman who could raise her children well.
She was a sensible person and knew why her grandfather was talking to her about the Chu family at this time.
There are only two points.
First, we should help Chu Xiao when we can.
Another point is the father-son relationship within the Chu family.
Uncle Chu has had a tough time. Hopefully, she and Sheng Yang can persuade Chu Xiao to let go of his resentment and reconcile with his father.
Uncle Chu is still alive now, don't wait until later to regret it.
"Grandpa, I will do my best regarding Uncle Chu and Brother Chu's matter."
An Xiaoyue is also a mother; she is kind and respectful.
She is not Chu Xiao; she has never experienced the kind of life Chu Xiao had, struggling to make a living with his stepmother.
Chu Xiao suffered those hardships, so she couldn't directly criticize him; she could only hint at it indirectly.
I thought of that barefoot, helpless middle-aged man standing in the hospital corridor.
She admitted that Uncle Chu was indeed a pitiful person.
"However, it was Brother Chu who had a bad childhood. Regardless of whether Brother Chu and Uncle Chu's relationship can be improved, I will visit Uncle Chu more often with Sheng Yang."
"Good, good, good Xiaoyue." Fu Jinyun was extremely pleased that his granddaughter-in-law understood so quickly.
"Chu Xiao is Chu Xiao. You younger generation should visit your Uncle Chu more often. It will bring him some comfort and make his old age less desolate."
The circle of people in Beijing is so small that if someone has something going on, he can find out about it online or in the news, even if he doesn't leave home.
An Xiaoyue felt guilty despite being praised.
"Just because Uncle Chu personally delivered the equipment to me, I should go and see him."
"When you go, take plenty of nourishing foods with you," Fu Jinyun instructed.
"I understand, Grandpa," An Xiaoyue replied obediently.
"Ouch~ My back is sore from sitting for so long, I'm going out for a walk."
"No, Grandpa." An Xiaoyue looked at the chessboard on the table. She was about to win, how could Grandpa leave?
"My back aches." Fu Jinyun rubbed her lower back and made as if to leave.
An Xiaoyue knew exactly what he was thinking. "No, Grandpa, I haven't played chess with you in a long time. We have to finish this game."
Fu Jinyun chuckled, "You know it's been a long time since I played chess with Grandpa, and you're going to hurt his feelings right away."
An Xiaoyue held onto Fu Jinyun's arm and said coquettishly, "I haven't won in a long time either."
“Hey! You’re not kidding me, old man.” Fu Jinyun’s white beard twitched. “Your grandfather was bragging to me that his good grandson got a banner, and he told me to live a long life so as not to ruin the Leng family’s reputation.”
He ate a diet plan prepared by Xiaoyue and certified by a renowned traditional Chinese medicine master every day, but he didn't live long before passing away.
Isn't this just tarnishing Academician Leng Shide's reputation?
“That’s different.” An Xiaoyue helped Fu Jinyun, and the grandfather and granddaughter walked out of Songtao Garden chatting and laughing.
Uncle Fu's eyes welled up with tears as he looked at the scene before him.
In just over a month, the old man was able to stand up again, without even needing a cane.
His grandfather was a blessed man.
Fu Shengyang packed up Lucky's things to take with him, then picked Lucky up and went to find An Xiaoyue, ready to set off.
From afar, he saw his grandfather and his beloved wife feeding the fish in the pavilion, chatting and laughing.
The autumn sun shines on people, warming both body and heart.
A year ago at this time, he learned that he was pregnant and married.
Now, with the baby born, he feels heavy in their arms, and the family lives a carefree life.
The warmth of family was given to him by Xiaoyue.
He cherishes the life he has now.
Fu Shengyang quickened his pace and walked into the pavilion.
"grandfather."
"Time to go out."
Fu Jinyun looked at the little darling in her grandson's arms and smiled broadly.
"My little darling is going out to play with Mom and Dad."
As he spoke, he reached out and squeezed Lucky's chubby hand, and his old heart softened.
Only after teasing his great-grandson did Fu Jinyun finally let them leave, completely satisfied.
"Go ahead and have fun. See if Chu Xiao needs anything, and lend a hand if you can."
Fu Shengyang readily agreed, "Okay."
He understood his grandfather's good intentions.
In the ever-changing business world, no one can guarantee that they will always be at the top.
Mutual support and joint efforts to create prosperity are the only way to ensure long-term success.
The family arrived at Chu Xiao's underground parking lot.
As An Xiaoyue was holding Lucky and waiting for Fu Shengyang to retrieve the stroller from the trunk, she suddenly heard a sound of retching.
Judging from the noise, it sounded like someone was about to vomit their stomach.
An Xiaoyue thought someone was drunk, so she stood warily by the car.
Fu Shengyang tucked the bag containing the lucky items under the stroller and saw his beloved wife's beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly.
"what happened?"
"It looks like there are drunk people here." An Xiaoyue's face showed fear and wariness.
Fu Shengyang looked around but didn't see anyone, though he could hear the sound of retching.
Just by listening to their voice, you can tell that they are in a lot of pain.
He took Lucky and put her in the stroller, put his arm around An Xiaoyue's shoulder, and gently comforted her.
"It's alright, the elevator is right next door, let's go now."
It's best to stay away from Xiaoyue and Lucky.
The vomit of someone who's drunk has a terrible smell, and I can't let my precious wife smell anything foul.
"Lingxi, rinse your mouth with warm water."
Ok?
This sound...
The couple looked at each other.
Is it Ji Yubai and Zhong Lingxi?
"Lingxi?" An Xiaoyue asked uncertainly.
"Xiaoyue, I'm over here." Zhong Ling's cheerful voice came from overheard.
