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

It seems that grandpa still doesn't understand Fu Ruoshi.

He said that just to cheer him up, Wen Zhixia thought.

With his mouth, he can make the false become true and the dead become alive. Everyone who just meets him will like him, not to mention the older generation, who like children with sweet mouths the most.

Wen Zhixia didn't dare to think about how someone could be so serious and say such unreliable and shameless words in front of her grandfather. She was afraid that she would burst out laughing if she thought about it.

However, since everything now depends on Grandpa's health, as long as she can make the old man happy, she doesn't care even if he calls her a shrew.

"Grandpa, we're not getting divorced." Thinking of this, Wen Zhixia could only lie, but don't believe everything he says. He's a man with a lot of loose ends, and he dares to say anything.

"Business is like this for everyone who travels all over the country, with lies and falsehoods, real and fake," Wen Litao comforted her. "But he was willing to lie to me, which at least shows that he cares about your feelings. Otherwise, I'm just an old man, and we have no relationship at all. What does my death have to do with him? Why would he bother to find a ward for me and a nurse for me? If it were Gu Chun from before, he would definitely think I was in the way and kick you away. It's a common thing."

This is true.

Several years ago, Wen Litao had an old illness. At that time, Wen Zhixia was taking the CET-4 exam and could not leave, so he asked Gu Chun to accompany him to get medicine.

Along the way, although Gu Chun was polite to him, he kept a distance from him and even wore a mask in the middle of summer. Wen Litao wanted to pat him to express his gratitude, but he subconsciously dodged, as if he was disgusted.

At that time, the old man was sure that their relationship would not last long because the child was too cold.

The old man hinted several times that Wen Zhixia should ignore him, but when he finally heard that the two had broken up, he was secretly happy.

Seeing that Grandpa was being taken advantage of by Fu Ruoshi, Wen Zhixia was dissatisfied, "Grandpa, how can you be bribed so easily?"

"If I wasn't bribed, I'd be dying soon, so why would I care about these material possessions?" Wen Litao shook his head. "I'm just telling the truth."

Wen Zhixia lowered her eyes, "Don't say that, I'm not blaming you..."

"My dear," Wen Litao asked again, "then you really don't want to get a divorce? You're not lying to me because you're afraid of upsetting me, are you?"

"No," Wen Zhixia peeled an orange, "You are in good health, which is better than anything else. After you get better, I will hire a nurse for you. You are not allowed to hide everything from me like before. Only when you are healthy can I work with peace of mind."

Wen Litao nodded and said, "I understand. Go back and rest. Sister Cao will be here soon. Don't worry."

After Wen Zhixia left, the old man slept for a while and slept until noon.

He had just gotten up when he heard a knock on the door.

The accompanying lady thought it was a doctor, but when she opened the door she saw a beautiful yet unfamiliar face.

"Excuse me, is this Elder Wen's ward?" Xu Hui raised the gift in her hand. "I'm Zhixia's friend."

It turned out that the news that Fu Ruoshi had come to the hospital to give money to Wen Litao had reached Song Ailing's ears.

She had always heard Fu Ruoshi say that he was afraid of getting into trouble and never dealt with Wen Zhixia's family.

what happened?

How come I suddenly met the parents?

It turned out that my son never told the truth.

So, Song Ailing asked Xu Hui to come over and test the waters while Wen Zhixia was away.

"Hello?" Wen Litao put on his glasses. "Who are you?"

"Zhixia and I are best friends," Xu Hui introduced herself, "You can just call me Xiaohui."

Wen Litao smiled friendly and poured her a cup of tea.

Although they seemed friendly on the surface, he was also a little skeptical. Wen Zhixia's only best friend was Fan Xiaolin, a journalist.

But seeing Xu Hui wearing gold and silver, Wen Litao guessed that she might be a mutual friend of his granddaughter and that little Fu.

Ever since he learned that his granddaughter married into a wealthy family, a feeling of unease has always lingered in Wen Litao's heart.

He always felt that the circle of power and wealth was full of mixed people and that his granddaughter could not afford it.

But he never interfered with Wen Zhixia's feelings, and he could not interfere with his granddaughter's stubborn character.

So Wen Litao politely said to Xu Hui, "I'll ask Zhixia."

"No need to ask," Xu Hui said with a fake smile, "I just asked Zhixia, she said she was tired after the night shift and is sleeping now."

Wen Litao said bluntly, "What's the matter with you coming here? You might as well tell me directly."

Xu Hui looked around and asked, "Old man, you are doing well, right?"

Wen Litao nodded. "It's good, but it's not cheap. My old bones don't deserve such good treatment. I plan to move to a regular room in a couple of days."

Xu Hui continued, "This single room was changed for you by Fu Ruoshi, right?"

"Yes," Wen Litao smiled, "but we won't be eating and living for free. I'm a retired teacher, and I'll pay him back if I have a salary."

Xu Hui sneered in her heart, why are you pretending to be so noble? Can you afford it?

So she pulled out her trump card, "Since you already know everything, I won't beat around the bush."

"I came to see you today on behalf of Ruoshi's mother."

"My father is Xu Guangcai of Xu Real Estate."

She was polite just now, but when she saw that Wen Litao didn't flatter her, she started to show off her status and act arrogantly.

Of course the old man understands the ways of the world, but he doesn't buy it.

And when compared like this, the difference is immediately apparent.

As soon as Fu Ruoshi saw him, he bent down and called him "old man", not minding that he was dirty or sick. He held his hand and coaxed him to talk.

On the other hand, Xu Hui looks somewhat like Gu Chun.

Well-dressed, well-dressed beast.

Wen Litao was contemptuous in his heart, but he flattered her outwardly, "Oh, oh, Mr. Xu is such an important person, I'm really sorry for not entertaining him well enough."

Seeing his neither humble nor arrogant attitude, Xu Hui felt inexplicably angry.

This character of not bowing his head even if his bones were broken reminded her of someone she hated.

She smiled faintly and continued, "Our Xu family and the Fu family have been friends for many years, and Ruoshi and I are childhood sweethearts who grew up together."

When Wen Litao heard the words "childhood sweethearts", his heart tightened.

Xu Hui added, "Ruoshi was very ambitious. He went abroad after graduating from high school and started his own company while in college."

"To be honest, everyone in Jincheng thought I would marry Fu Ruoshi, but he later met Wen Zhixia in a bar and married her not long after."

"Many people think he's too impulsive, but I understand him. Ruo Shi is just the kind of person who dares to love and hate."

Wen Litao's heart skipped a beat.

He heard the subtext of her words.

The two families were good friends, and they were childhood sweethearts. When they met in a bar, Wen Zhixia married her...

These words combined mean that Wen Zhixia was indecent, seduced Fu Ruoshi, had a one-night stand, and acted as the third party.

Looking at the old man's somewhat stiff face, Xu Hui felt that she had the upper hand.

She smiled slightly and continued, "Everyone was surprised, but now I understand that Zhixia did this to cure your illness. She is a filial and good girl, and I admire her very much."

As soon as these words came out, Wen Litao, who had just been watching her acting coldly, was suddenly struck by lightning.

Is the granddaughter doing this for herself?

So the luxurious life she had enjoyed these days was earned by her paying for it with the help of a rich young man?

Moreover, Wen Litao has always been wondering why a wealthy family like the Fu family would marry a girl from a commoner family?

Every time the couple talked about their affairs, Wen Zhixia would hesitate and avoid the subject.

Fu Ruoshi was generous and spent money lavishly, but he was also thoughtful and considerate.

It doesn't seem like he has no feelings for Wen Zhixia.

The old man always felt that Zhixia had something to tell him.

He couldn't accept that proud and stubborn granddaughter as the third party.

The most important thing is that she has no backing. If she offends the powerful, she will die in obscure ways like her parents.

For her own sake, her granddaughter actually dared to provoke the most powerful group of people in Jincheng?

Isn't this like jumping into a fire pit?
