We agreed to divorce at the expiration date, why do you regret it, Mr. Fu?

"What do you mean?"

Wen Zhixia tilted her head warily and asked him, "What do you mean by pissing my grandfather off to death? What did he say to you?"

Fu Ruoshi said nothing. He turned the steering wheel and drove towards her rental house.

A few minutes later, the car stopped downstairs. Fu Ruoshi got out, picked up a bag of money, and walked towards Wen Zhixia's corridor as if he was familiar with the route.

Wen Zhixia had no choice but to open the door for him, and the two returned home.

"I've done the trick, thank you." Wen Zhixia said tiredly, "You can take the money now."

Fu Ruoshi looked at her pale face and red eyes, and didn't know if it was because she was tired from not sleeping or because she had been crying.

He felt a little distressed, so he hesitated and said, "Your grandfather said you have been stubborn since you were a child, and told me not to argue with you."

Wen Zhixia looked at him in surprise, not believing that this was what Wen Litao said.

"So?" she asked. "What do you mean?"

Fu Ruoshi continued, "It's not that interesting. I told him that we won't get divorced. Let's wait until he's through the most dangerous period. It's not a problem for me to be a little aggrieved for a few days."

Although his words were very frivolous, Wen Zhixia did have some concerns.

At that time, Dr. Corey told her that the old man’s condition was unstable. If he was lucky, he could survive this time and live for a few more years. If he couldn’t, this period of time would be all he would have.

Wen Litao had suffered several attacks before, but he was afraid of causing trouble for his children, so he never told anyone and never went to see a doctor. He relied on medication to cope with the pain, and often couldn't eat when he felt uncomfortable, which led to his gradual weight loss.

After Wen Zhixia found out, she felt very guilty.

After grandpa recovers from his illness this time, she said she would hire a nanny for him no matter what. If he still doesn't agree, she would move to his community.

She couldn't bear the pain of losing her loved ones again.

"Okay." Wen Zhixia nodded. "Then let's just hold on for now. Once Grandpa recovers and is discharged from the hospital, we can get a divorce."

Fu Ruoshi said noncommittally, "When I go to the hospital to see him later, you should pretend to be nice and stop acting like I'm the murderer of your father."

After he had finished talking, he remembered that Wen Zhixia really had an enemy who killed his father.

I said the wrong thing...

Fu Ruoshi coughed awkwardly, picked up his suit, stood up and left.

Wen Zhixia caught up with him, "Wait a minute!"

"Tsk." Fu Ruoshi raised his head impatiently and said, "Divorce is just a temporary fix. Don't think I can't find someone to replace you."

"That one million is a breakup fee. It's three years' salary plus your year-end bonus."

"What are you looking at? You don't think I really don't dare to leave you, do you?"

......

I rolled my eyes in my heart.

Wen Zhixia reached out speechlessly, "You didn't take the car keys..."

Oh. .

Fu Ruoshi coughed again.

He took the key, threw his suit over his shoulders in a casual manner, and went downstairs.

After he left, Wen Zhixia dragged the money bag into the room, preparing to find a safe place to hide it and return it to him after depositing it into the card.

I accidentally opened the bag and saw something green inside.

She opened it and saw that it was US dollars.

Fortunately, my uncle and aunt didn’t know about it.

Wen Zhixia wiped the sweat off her forehead and hid the money in the deepest part of the closet.

after an hour.

Wen Zhixia returned to the hospital for outpatient treatment.

Meng Jia and Wen Xu waited outside her office for a long time, and when they saw her coming, their eyes lit up again.

"Xiao Xia, you're back?" Wen Xu said enthusiastically, "Have you had breakfast? Are you tired?"

Meng Jia also smiled flatteringly, "You must be tired. Look at your skinny face. Let's go to my aunt's house tonight. I'll make you some old duck soup!"

He was blaming himself just now, but now his attitude has changed drastically. To put it bluntly, he is just thinking about money.

Just now, after she left, the couple asked the old man for a long time about the background of this little Fu, but Wen Litao didn't say a word, which made them very anxious.

Wen Zhixia was very contemptuous.

"You guys go back, I have to go to the outpatient clinic." She said tiredly.

Meng Jia refused to let go, "Zhixia, where's your boyfriend? Where's Xiaofu?"

Wen Zhixia said, "I don't know. It was gone in the blink of an eye."

"Why don't you say hello to us?" Wen Xu came up, "After all, we are your elders!"

Wen Zhixia didn't want to say more. "When you have time, go and spend some time with Grandpa. Don't always ask about other things."

"How can this be considered prying?" Meng Jia was unhappy. "We are just concerned about you."

Wen Zhixia said calmly, "There's no need to worry about me. If I die on the street, just collect my body."

Meng Jia's face turned blue after being confronted by her.

I know that my niece has had a stubborn temper since she was a child, and it is even tougher now.

Wen Xu restrained Meng Jia and said, "Xiao Xia, stop joking. I heard from Xiao Fu that he brought one million yuan to his father. Where is the money? Give it to your uncle. We will keep it for you."

Wen Zhixia: "That's one million ghost money, burned for mom and dad."

Wen Xu was also twitching in the face because of her scolding.

"Okay, I'm going to get ready for work," Wen Zhixia said, "You guys go."

After noon.

Wen Zhixia took advantage of the lunch break to go see Wen Litao again.

Seeing that the old man was still asleep, I went to the payment counter to complete the hospitalization procedures.

"Teacher, someone has paid all your family's hospital fees for you."

Wen Zhixia was completely stunned. "Who paid? How much?"

The other party said, "Mr. Liu, it is paid according to the highest standards, including a separate ward and meals."

A single room? Wen Zhixia's eyes widened.

The single rooms in the affiliated hospital are extremely scarce. Several big bosses with a net worth of over 100 million yuan could not get one here when they were sick. Those rooms are reserved for the real powerful people in Jincheng and cannot be bought with money.

Wen Zhixia was about to ask for more details when her cell phone rang.

"Hello, are you Dr. Wen?"

"Yes, I am."

"I'm the caregiver Mr. Liu hired for you. My name is Cao Yan. I've added you on WeChat. Could you please approve it?"

Wen Zhixia quickly passed by and asked her, "How much is the fee?"

Cao Yan said, "It's 18,000 a month. Mr. Liu gave me three months' salary, so I can come and work now."

The salary of caregivers in Jincheng is around 5,000 yuan. Those who earn over 10,000 yuan are considered top-level. As for those who earn nearly 20,000 yuan, ordinary people don’t even have the channels to contact them.

It’s over.

Wen Zhixia's eyes darkened. She would have to go without food and drink for several years to be able to pay it back.

at dusk.

When Liu Zhen received Wen Zhixia's WeChat message, he and Fu Ruoshi had just arrived at Jincheng International Airport, preparing to fly to New York.

"Mr. Fu," Liu Zhen showed his phone to Fu Ruoshi, "Madam asked how much the old man's fee was, and she wants to transfer it to me."

Fu Ruoshi took the phone coldly and took a look.

Wen Zhixia [Please give me the specific amount. I don't have that much cash on hand right now. I'll pay you back in installments.]

"Sick." Fu Ruoshi snorted coldly and handed the phone back to Liu Zhen, "Ignore her."

Just as he finished speaking, his own cell phone rang again -

Wen Zhixia: [How much is the hospitalization fee and nursing fee? I'll transfer it to you.]
