What? The villain wants to marry me?

With the intention of reminding Xie Qingran, Fu Ruoan wanted to find an opportunity to tell Xie Qingran at work, but unfortunately Xie Qingran was busy, and she didn't want to disturb her, so she put it aside.

One day, Fu Ruoan was taking a lunch break. As it was nearing the end of the year, all major companies were very busy. For example, Fu Xicheng and his son had not eaten together at home for several days.

Xu Qingshuang was the only one at home and looked quite lonely.

Fu Ruoan sighed. There was nothing he could do about it. This was how it was in big families and big companies. Or, it was how it was for all living people. They were so busy running around trying to make a living that they didn't have time to care about anyone else's little thoughts.

I threw all these disturbing thoughts out of my head, turned on the computer to record the file, and then I received a call from Xu Qingshuang.

"An An, come to the Central Hospital quickly, your grandpa is sick."

Fu Ruoan was extremely surprised. Her grandfather was a healthy old man, so how could he suddenly fall ill?

"Mom, what's going on? Why is Grandpa sick?"

Xu Qingshuang: "It's hard to explain in a few words. Come over here first."

Fu Ruoan: "Okay, I'll take some leave and come over right away."

As soon as I looked up, I saw Xie Qingran standing not far away. Well, I didn’t even have to ask for leave.

Sure enough, Xie Qingran spoke: "Since you have something to do, then go ahead. You don't have to worry about this. Come back to work when your grandfather is well."

Fu Ruoan: "Mr. Xie, thank you very much."

After saying that, he picked up his bag and ran away.

Although Fu Ruoan was very anxious, she was not so panicked as to run a red light. If anything happened, it would not be just her problem.

After rushing for a long time, they finally arrived at the hospital. After finding out which ward his grandfather was in, Fu Ruoan went straight to the ward.

At this time, Xu Jianguo was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. It was unknown whether he was asleep or fainted.

Fu Ruoan opened the door and was about to walk in when she found a man about forty years old sitting inside. She thought she had come to the wrong place.

I even went out to check the ward number and made sure it was correct before going in.

The man couldn't help but laugh when he saw what Fu Ruoan did.

He said, "Why, after not seeing you for half a year, you don't even recognize your uncle?"

When Fu Ruoan heard the man's voice, something flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp it.

He muttered, "Hey! Uncle, you're a very busy man, unlike me who has so much free time. When I first saw you, I thought I was in the wrong place, so I went out to check the ward number."

Fu Ruoan’s uncle, Xu Qingzhou, works in the municipal government.

Xu Qingzhou laughed and scolded: "You little girl, where are you playing yin and yang with me?"

Fu Ruoan grinned and said, "How could that be possible? Uncle, how come you got here before me?"

Xu Qingzhou pulled over a chair and motioned Fu Ruoan to sit down. She didn't hesitate and sat down immediately, waiting for Xu Qingzhou to answer her questions.

Xu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I happened to come to the hospital to visit a friend and ran into your mother, so I found out."

However, Fu Ruoan's next words made them both silent.

"Uncle, how long has it been since you went back to see grandpa?"

As soon as these words were spoken, both of them fell silent.

Yes, how long has it been since you went back to see the old man?

Not only Xu Qingzhou, but Fu Ruoan himself fell silent.

Maybe she has more free time, but she has never visited her grandfather.

She felt that her grandfather was in good health and she would have plenty of time in the future so she could go back to see him anytime.

But she forgot, or maybe everyone forgot.

I always thought that there was a long way to go, but I never thought that life is full of surprises.

Xu Jianguo is an example.

The last time Fu Ruoan saw him, the old man walked faster than her, with a steady pace, and he didn't look like an old man at all.

But she ignored the fact that no matter how strong Xu Jianguo was, he was still in his sixties, and it might take him a long time to recover from a minor cold.

Xu Qingzhou sighed: "Yes, we are all busy with our own things. Leaving your grandfather alone at home is a dereliction of duty for us as the younger generation. However, due to my job, I rarely contact my family. I am afraid that someone will catch me in trouble and it will be disadvantageous to you."

Fu Ruoan: "What about my aunt and the others? Don't you live together?"

Xu Qingzhou smiled bitterly: "Your aunt wants to divorce me."

Fu Ruoan was shocked: "What?! Why?!"

Xu Qingzhou seemed to lose all his energy in an instant: "She said I didn't care about the family at all, and I only cared about work all day. Because of work, we separated a long time ago. She lived with the child, and I lived alone outside. She said she felt like she and the child were too shameful to be seen by others. I..."

Xu Qingzhou, a grown man, actually burst into tears.

Fu Ruoan opened his mouth to offer comfort, but found that he was in no position to say anything.

From Xu Qingzhou's perspective, he was right, he was doing it for work.

From her aunt's perspective, she is not wrong. Who would want to live with her husband as if they are having an affair?

Xu Qingzhou quickly calmed down, as if he was not the one who had just lost control.

He continued: "We used to live together, but Haohao was kidnapped because of me, so we lived separately.

I can understand her approach, but I feel bad. She and I met in college, and she supported me in choosing this path. However, as she got promoted, more and more problems arose, and the most important thing was that my family's safety was affected.

Although there were people protecting her, there is always a loophole. After two consecutive shocks, your aunt will never compromise again.

She said either I quit my job or get a divorce.

I'm really... caught between a rock and a hard place."

Fu Ruoan didn't know how to answer this question.

"Brother, why don't you resign?"

No one knew when Xu Qingshuang came back. She stood at the door and spoke with a worried look on her face.

Fu Ruoan quickly stood up and pulled Xu Qingshuang's arm, saying that you can't talk nonsense.

Xu Qingzhou said with a pained expression, "I'm currently working on a major project that was specifically approved by the higher-ups. It's impossible to complete it in a short period of time."

"Then wait until the matter is resolved before resigning."

Xu Jianguo didn't know when he woke up, and he also agreed with Xu Qingzhou's resignation.

Everyone was very happy to see him wake up.

Fu Ruoan rushed to the bedside and shouted happily: "Grandpa, are you awake? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Xu Jianguo looked at Fu Ruoan with a smile: "Haha, don't worry, Grandpa is in good health, it's okay."

Fu Ruoan's eyes suddenly turned red.

Xu Jianguo said hurriedly: "Hey, An An, be good, don't cry, Grandpa is fine, really fine, if you don't believe me, Grandpa will take a few steps and you will see."

Fu Ruoan: "Grandpa, don't move. I believe you. Grandpa is the best. I believe what you say."

Xu Qingshuang said helplessly: "Dad, I told you before that I wanted you to move in with me, but you refused."

Xu Jianguo's face suddenly turned fierce: "Nonsense! What would it look like if I moved in with you?! Besides, your brother hasn't treated me badly, why should I move?"

Xu Qingshuang shut up. Was that what she meant?

Forget it, her father has a stubborn temper and can't be persuaded.

Xu Jianguo then looked at Xu Qingzhou and said, "Qingzhou, I know you love your job, but you have to take care of your family too. Don't push yourself any further. Find an opportunity to retire. With our family's wealth, you'll be able to live comfortably in the future."

Xu Qingzhou moved his lips but didn't say anything.

Seeing that the topic was becoming increasingly serious, Fu Ruoan took over the conversation and pulled Xu Jianguo aside to talk about other things.

Xu Qingzhou and his sister looked at each other and tactfully didn't mention it again.
