President, the deceased lady has three more children
Chapter 524 Fu Yunchuan's Guilt and Self-Reproach
Fu Yunchuan neither answered nor left, but just stared at Nanxing.
It was at this moment that Old Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Fu entered.
Upon entering, the two of them didn't even bother with Fu Yunchuan, but instead looked at Nanxing first, and then asked about the children's condition.
"Xingxing, how are the children? I heard they're sick? What happened?" Grandma Fu asked anxiously.
Nanxing was initially surprised to see the two of them approaching, but then softened her expression and explained to them.
"It's nothing, just a bit of a cold and fever. It's nothing serious, the fever will go down."
The old lady and Madam Fu immediately went to the bedside to check on the three children. Seeing their listless faces, they felt even more distressed.
Nanxing took a deep breath and walked over, ignoring Fu Yunchuan behind her.
"Vice President Li, are the children really alright?" Old Mrs. Fu asked Vice President Li directly.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Nanxing, but she was worried that Nanxing might not tell the truth for fear of making them worry, so she had no choice but to ask Vice Dean Li next to her.
Vice President Li was still reeling from the shock he had just received, so he didn't pay any attention to what Old Mrs. Fu was saying.
It turns out that the two children are Mr. Fu's sons. He said he felt that the two children looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before. So that's how it is.
"Vice President Li? What happened to the children? Is it serious and that's why it's hard to say?" Madam Fu asked anxiously, her voice much louder than the old lady's earlier.
Vice Dean Li snapped back to reality with a start.
"Madam Fu, what's wrong? Why did you come here?" He asked, only to realize afterward that he had asked the wrong question.
I was just thinking that the two children belong to President Fu, so isn't it normal for someone from the Fu family to come and see the two children now?
If he had several such adorable children, he would also cherish them like precious gems.
"I was asking what's wrong with the children? Why are they all sick?" Madam Fu hurriedly repeated, no longer caring that Vice President Li had been distracted earlier.
"Oh, it's like this. One of the young masters has acute gastroenteritis and a fever, probably caused by something he ate. The other young master and young lady just have some fever and are feeling unwell; they'll be fine once the fever goes down," Vice Dean Li explained, looking back and forth between Ze Bao and Mu Bao's faces.
These two children look exactly alike; it's impossible to tell them apart.
Moreover, after learning that the two children were from the Fu family, it was only then that they realized they looked exactly like President Fu, as if they were cut from the same mold.
"How come all three children have fevers? Isn't this a bit strange? Have you made sure the tests are done? Are there any other problems?" Mrs. Fu asked, touching Qinbao's little face.
"There's no problem. Everything has been checked, and even the doctor himself has examined them. Because they are twins, this is a common occurrence among twins. For example, if one twin is feeling unwell, the other twin will also have the same symptoms, just to varying degrees."
"These symptoms will disappear as the children grow up, so I think the same applies to the young masters. Although these symptoms cannot be scientifically proven, they do exist, so you two don't need to worry too much. Once the fever subsides, everything will be fine."
"What about Qinbao? She's not a twin, so how come she got sick by such a coincidence? Has she had a medical check-up? Is there anything wrong with her?" Madam Fu pressed.
Upon hearing Madam Fu's words, everyone present who knew Qin Bao's true identity immediately felt a pang of unease, and Nan Xing, who had remained silent until now, quickly stepped forward to explain.
“Mom, Qinbao was born prematurely. She has always been in poor health and often gets sick. She may have just caught a cold yesterday, or she may have been frightened by something and felt unwell again. You don’t need to worry too much.”
“Yes, sister, you don’t need to worry. Qinbao has always been unwell, but she’s only gotten better in the last year or two. She’ll be fine once she recovers,” Grandma He added.
With Nanxing and Grandma He's explanations, Madam Fu didn't think much of it and didn't feel anything was wrong. She just felt sorry for Qinbao, who was so young and often sick, which must be so painful for her.
Only Old Mrs. Fu did not immediately believe it, because she felt that Nanxing's explanation was too hasty.
She had only asked a question with doubt, and Nanxing's explanation came out so quickly, as if he had rehearsed it many times in his mind.
And while it's true that illness happens frequently, isn't today's timing a bit too coincidental?
The old lady's gaze lingered on Nanxing and Qinbao, then shifted back and forth between Qinbao and Lin Ke's faces, and she noticed that Qinbao and Lin Ke didn't resemble each other at all.
It's normal that Qinbao doesn't look like the current Nanxing, because she looks exactly like the Nanxing from before.
Although Qinbao looks exactly like Nanxing, shouldn't she at least resemble Lin Ke?
Grandma Fu suddenly had an unimaginable guess in her mind, but she did not show her doubts at this time, and only cared about the children's health first.
"How did you suddenly get gastroenteritis?" Grandma Fu walked over to Ze Bao and gently rubbed his head.
Nanxing's expression relaxed when he saw that no one was asking about Qinbao anymore.
Zebao: "Great-Grandma, don't worry, I'm fine. I just ate something bad."
“How could you have eaten something bad? Did you not like what you ate last night? It’s all because your great-grandmother didn’t prepare enough, and you suffered because of it.”
Grandma Fu never suspected that the child had eaten something bad at the Yun family's place. After all, the child had been living at the Yun family's place for so long without any problems, and then got sick after just having dinner with them alone. How could they not suspect them and feel guilty?
"Grandma, this has nothing to do with you..." Nanxing was about to say that it had nothing to do with you when she heard Fu's mother's words.
"Is it because I ate carrots yesterday?"
Nanxing was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "You ate carrots? How could you have eaten carrots?"
Before the three children could stop her, they all sighed inwardly when they saw the astonished expression on their mother's face.
They didn't want their mother to know, nor did they want her to worry.
However, Fu Yunchuan, who hadn't spoken since Old Madam Fu and Madam Fu came in, was also taken aback.
He couldn't bear to recall the scene of Ze Bao forcing himself to eat carrots in order to sever ties with him. Now, hearing that the children are like this because of carrots, he was overwhelmed with self-blame.
Knowing the whole story, Jiang Bai glanced at Fu Yunchuan and sighed helplessly when he saw the astonishment and self-blame in Fu Yunchuan's eyes.
The impact of this incident on the president is unknown how long it will last, and it may even be something he can never erase for the rest of his life.
"Zebao, did you eat carrots yesterday? Didn't you say you didn't like carrots? Why did you eat them again? Mommy said you didn't have to eat them if you didn't like them. Why did you eat them again?" Nanxing asked the three children.
“That’s right, you ate carrots once last year and threw up. Have you forgotten? Are you eating them again now? Are you deliberately making yourself suffer?” Lin Ke also stepped forward with a frown, asking with a mixture of heartache and confusion.
Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Fu felt a chill in their hearts, realizing that it was probably really because of the carrot incident.
Mrs. Fu smiled wryly and said to Nanxing, "There was a little accident during dinner last night, so Zebao ate some carrots."
"Mom, what happened?" Nanxing really didn't know the details of what happened at dinner last night.
But the children all know they don't eat carrots, so they're unlikely to eat them on their own initiative.
She also believes that even if someone offered the children food, they would refuse.
"Mommy, I wanted to eat it myself, don't worry, I'm fine." Ze Bao said sensibly, mainly because he didn't want Nan Xing to worry.
Nanxing looked at him, then at Mu Bao and Qin Bao, and noticed that all three children were looking at her with tense expressions, and they didn't want to tell her exactly what had happened.
"Okay, Mommy won't ask anymore. You two get some rest. Once your fever goes down, we'll go home."
The three children breathed a sigh of relief.
Madam Fu felt she couldn't keep this from Nanxing, so she decided to tell him anyway.
"Vice President Li, why don't you go out and take care of your work first? We can manage here ourselves," Nanxing said to Vice President Li.
"And what you just saw and heard, I hope you can pretend you didn't hear or see it."
Jiang Bai also looked at Vice Dean Li, while Fu Yunchuan kept looking at the children, immersed in guilt and self-blame for them.
"I understand, I understand. Don't worry, I won't overthink it." Mainly, he didn't dare to overthink it either. This was a family matter of the Fu family, how could he dare to say anything carelessly, unless he was tired of living too comfortably.
After Vice Dean Li left, Nanxing looked at Fu Yunchuan and coldly told him to leave.
"Why aren't you leaving? How long do you plan to stay?"
Fu Yunchuan looked at her, wanting to say a thousand words, but in the end he turned and left the ward without saying a word. Before leaving, Nanxing noticed the guilty look in his eyes as he looked towards the children.
She was slightly taken aback. At first, she didn't expect Fu Yunchuan to leave so easily. Then she pondered why Fu Yunchuan's eyes looked at the children with guilt.
Could it be because the children's illness is related to him?
"Then I'll go check on the president first. The doctor said his health is very bad right now, and I'm afraid something might happen to him." After saying this, Jiang Bai hurried off to catch up with Fu Yunchuan.
Nanxing glanced at the doorway for a few seconds before turning to the children and then speaking to Old Madam Fu and Mrs. Fu.
"Grandma, Mom, why don't you go back and rest first? The children are really fine here. I'll take them home later once their fevers have subsided."
She knew that the reason the two of them arrived at the hospital one after the other was because they had been there since Fu Yunchuan was admitted.
It's been so long, they must be tired.
I'll go back later.
Grandma Fu then looked at Grandma He and said, "It's been so long since we last met. Would you like to go for a walk in the garden?"
She happened to have some questions for Grandma He.
"Of course, that's great. Now that we're in Beijing, this is the only place where I can have a few words with you." Old Mrs. He readily agreed.
Nanxing: "Grandma, Master, why don't you chat here? It's windy outside."
"No need, we'll just go down to the coffee shop and chat. Aunt Wang will be with us at the door, so nothing will happen. If the children are alright later, I'll just take your master back. Don't worry."
As she spoke, Grandma Fu patted the heads of the three children one by one before preparing to go out with Grandma He.
Grandma He also said to Nanxing, "Once the children's fevers subside, go back first. I'll go back to the Yun family with you today. Have your grandmother take me back to the Yun family; I'll wait for you there."
Nanxing had no choice but to agree. She knew better than anyone how stubborn these two old ladies were; once they made up their minds, no one could change their minds.
Grandma Fu walked over to Madam Fu and said, “Take your time. If you want to stay here with the children a little longer, then stay with them. I’ll have Aunt Wang come back with me first, and Xiao Yang will stay here with you.”
"I understand, Mom. You should go home and get some rest after you've finished talking. You've been up for too long today."
"understood."
Grandma Fu walked towards the door, but after a few steps she turned back to look at Qinbao.
Qinbao was already half asleep. The fever made her feel dizzy and weak. Even though there were so many people here, she couldn't resist falling asleep first because she knew that no one here would hurt her.
Grandma Fu didn't look at it for long or say anything; she just glanced at it twice and left.
Nanxing had already gone to cover Qinbao with a blanket, so she didn't notice the look in Old Madam Fu's eyes at all.
Not only Qinbao, but the other two children also couldn't withstand the fatigue brought on by the fever. In addition, the medicine they had just taken and the IV drips made them sleepy, and now all three children have fallen asleep in a daze.
After Nanxing had covered the children with blankets, Madam Fu took Nanxing's hand and led her to the door, wanting to tell her everything.
The ward was left to Lin Ke and Amy to look after.
Nanxing took Madam Fu's hand and led her to the outside of the corridor. Madam Fu's expression had not been very good; she looked tired, distressed, and filled with guilt.
Nanxing felt sorry for Fu's mother and could only comfort her.
"Mom, don't worry, the child probably just caught a cold because of the change in weather, don't overthink it. As for eating carrots, Zebao..."
"It's for Fu Yunchuan to see," Fu's mother continued, directly repeating Nanxing's words.
"What?" Nanxing was stunned. "Going against Fu Yunchuan? What do you mean? Did Fu Yunchuan find out that the children ate with you last night?"
Madam Fu did not hide anything and nodded directly, telling Nanxing the general outline of the matter, but omitting the fact that the children said Lu Mingzhu had been provoking Nanxing.
She understood Nanxing; the reason Nanxing hadn't mentioned this matter in front of them was because she didn't want them to worry.
Since she'll let Lu Mingzhu know what she should and shouldn't say anyway, there's no need to let Nanxing know either.
After hearing what Fu's mother had said about what happened during dinner yesterday, Nanxing's expression stiffened.
