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

Fu Ruoshi put down his chopsticks and replied, "I'm eating. I'll reply as soon as possible."

Why is grandma here at this time?

Fu Ruoshi had recently been at odds with the Xu family, and he had deliberately concealed the fact that he was being abused by Fu Keming from the old lady, fearing that she would get hurt out of anger.

Could it be that some foul-mouthed person has informed on someone?

Who else could it be? Jincheng’s chief correspondent Xiao Han.

"What's wrong?" Wen Zhixia saw him put down his chopsticks, "Your dad is looking for you? Why don't we hurry up..."

Fu Ruoshi shook his head and showed her the phone.

"grandmother?"

Wen Zhixia frowned.

In fact, Wen Zhixia was much more nervous when seeing her grandmother than when seeing Fu Keming. Fu Keming was just so majestic that people kept their distance from him, but her grandmother's kindness and gentleness always made her feel guilty.

Fu Ruoshi hummed and said, "If you don't want to see her, I'll take you back."

Wen Zhixia knew clearly that her grandmother had come to see her many times during this period, and her grandmother had poor legs and feet. This mountain villa was cold and humid, so she could not go there very often. This time she came in person, it must not be that simple. It was probably about their divorce.

She decided not to escape and explained the whole story to her grandmother.

"No, I'll go back with you."

Wen Zhixia drove the car back. She saw that Fu Ruo was walking a little unsteadily, and was afraid that he would faint while driving, so she let him sit in the passenger seat to rest.

Fu Ruoshi couldn't touch the back of the chair while sitting, as it would hurt so much. He couldn't lean forward either, as it would pull on his wound. He was forced to keep his back straight all the way, cursing Fu Keming's ancestors in his heart.

When we entered the villa, a black Rolls-Royce was parked outside the yard.

Grandma's driver stood by and nodded to them.

"Is that the damn boy coming back..."

Bai Lan came out of the house wearing a navy blue gown and a black velvet shawl, leaning on a cane.

When she saw Wen Zhixia getting out of the car, her angry expression from a second ago suddenly turned into a smile.

"Xiao Xia!! My good daughter!!!"

She threw away her crutches, walked quickly forward, and even slipped when going down the stairs, scaring the driver next to her half to death.

Wen Zhixia quickly ran over to catch her.

"grandmother......"

Seeing the old man's kind yet worried face, Wen Zhixia's nose felt sore and tears fell like little pearls.

"My daughter, grandma is late. Grandma apologizes to you." Bai Lan held her hand and wiped her tears. "I saw that you didn't reply to my messages. I really missed you. Yesterday, Sister Li said you were here, so I came here. Please don't bother grandma."

After the last birthday party, grandma hasn't been doing well. The fluid in her knee hasn't healed yet, and her calf has started to hurt again. I don't know if it's because the older the elderly are, the less able they are to hold big banquets, so she has had to recuperate at home recently.

"How could that be? Grandma, I miss you too," Wen Zhixia said, feeling both sad and warm. "Grandma, please come into the house and don't stand there."

As Bai Lan walked, he caressed her arm lovingly and nagging, "My dear, does your arm still hurt? You've become so thin. Do you forget to eat when you're busy? Don't be so hard on yourself. I'll ask Ruo Shi to buy you something. Hey, where's that kid...?"

As soon as Fu Ruoshi got out of the car, he watched his grandmother holding Wen Zhixia's hand and asking about her well-being, completely ignoring him as if he had eaten a bag of lemons.

"Dear grandma, if you don't love me, my ashes will be cold."

Bai Lan entered the living room and noticed Fu Ruoshi walking slowly behind him. He was holding his shoulders all the time and was breathing in cold air while walking. His cheeks were thinner, and his eye sockets seemed deeper. At first glance, he seemed to be a little worried.

"...I'll beat you to death." Bai Lan's tone was full of complaints, his eyes full of heartache, "You know your father's temper, why did you provoke him? Can't you wait until he calms down before going back? Show grandma how bad you've been beaten?"

Fu Ruoshi sat on the sofa and moved to the side. "Don't look at it. I can't eat if I look at it."

Mrs. Li brought tea and said, "Mr. Fu, please take some more painkillers."

Wen Zhixia took the medicine and handed it to Fu Ruoshi, "Eat it quickly, don't dawdle."

Fu Ruoshi didn't like to take medicine when he was sick and just endured it. Wen Zhixia couldn't bear to see this and forced him to take it, fearing that he would die from the pain.

Fu Ruoshi took the medicine irritably and swallowed it reluctantly.

Bai Lan felt relieved when she saw that her grandson seemed reluctant but obeyed Wen Zhixia's words. After all, Fu Ruoshi had never listened to anyone since he was a child. Not to mention taking medicine when he was sick, he even refused to drink water and insisted on drinking Coke.

It was the first time she saw him listen to a girl so much. This gentle girl could actually control him.

Bai Lan was inexplicably happy.

In fact, Bai Lan came here mainly to do two things. The first was to ease the relationship between father and son. Before that, she went to Fu Keming and asked him to stop hitting his son. Now she came to the younger one to ask him not to make the older one angry. A harmonious family is the key to success.

The second is to find out the relationship between the couple and whether there is a possibility of them not getting divorced.

Bai Lan is the backbone of the Fu family. She usually doesn't like to interfere in the lives of the younger generation, but when it comes to her words, actions and orders, she always has more influence than Fu Keming.

"Grandma, I've been here lately, don't worry." Wen Zhixia said, "I'll wait until I can move around freely before leaving."

Seeing that she was determined to leave, Bai Lan sighed.

She looked at Fu Ruoshi and said, "Ruoshi, go to the study by yourself. I want to talk to my daughter privately."

"Ah?" Fu Ruoshi refused. "This is my house, and I can't even stay in the living room for a while?"

Bai Lan said firmly, "If you don't leave, I'll take Xiao Xia back to my place."

When Fu Ruoshi heard that Wen Zhixia was leaving, he became timid. "Okay, okay, I'll hold your hand and drag you away. Don't go, I'll go."

He left the living room and disappeared in a flash.

She had heard Fu Ruoshi say before that she could feel that Wen Zhixia was a girl with backbone and principles. The more she got to know her, the more she liked her. She couldn't bear to watch her leave.

If Wen Zhixia really had no feelings for Fu Ruoshi, she would have given up, but Bai Lan remembered clearly that at the last birthday party, the look in Wen Zhixia's eyes when she looked at Fu Ruoshi was clearly full of grievance and reluctance.

It was all that brat's fault, and she felt her son was right to beat him.

"My dear, I've heard about your grandfather's affairs," Bai Lan touched Wen Zhixia's head. "I've always said that the girl from the Xu family is not a good person, but Ai Ling has been hiding her relationship with the Xu family from me. But why didn't you tell grandma about such a big thing? Are you afraid that grandma won't help you?"

Wen Zhixia shook her head anxiously, "No, grandma, this is our family's private matter. Your legs and feet are not good, so I shouldn't bother you with this."

"What do you mean by your family and my family?" Bai Lan looked at her distressedly, "Aren't we a family?"

Wen Zhixia looked at her grandmother with regret, "Grandma, Ruo Shi and I have already completed the divorce. We will be able to get the marriage certificate in more than two weeks."

Bai Lan's eyes darkened.

"Child, it is our Fu family who is sorry for you."

Wen Zhixia shook her head. "Don't say that. Ruoshi and I have different personalities. He will definitely find someone more suitable than me."

"Who is he suitable for?" Bai Lan glared, "If he doesn't change his paranoid and arrogant personality, he will suffer in the future!"

She paused, then continued, "By the way, my daughter, I want to ask you something. Only the two of us know the answer to this question."

Wen Zhixia nodded, "Grandma, ask."

"I know my grandson is not very good. It's all his fault that he didn't keep you." Bai Lan looked at her seriously. "Do you still like him? Do you still have him in your heart?"

Wen Zhixia was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and said, "Grandma, I don't love him anymore."

Bai Lan looked at her worriedly. She lowered her brows and looked gloomy, as if there were many things she hadn't said.

Bai Lan also came from a scholarly family. When she was young, she was also a patient and introverted person. Later, when she married into the Fu family and met more people, she gradually showed the courage to be a backbone.

"Child, grandma understands." Bai Lan patted Wen Zhixia meaningfully, "If you don't want to say it, grandma won't force you, you..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud bang from upstairs.

"Fu Ruoshi!"

Wen Zhixia's face changed and she ran upstairs.
