Chapter 10 Mr. Fu Assists in the Offense

"What does it have to do with me! If the old man says it's not okay, then it's not okay!" Mr. Fu nearly leapt up to hit his own grandson on the head, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it, "You just married a wife and now you say you don't want her, and moreover, you've just woken up, others might think our Fu Family is so ungrateful!"

"…" Fu Jingchen fell silent for a moment, "You're right, I didn't think it through. We can get a divorce later on then."

Lin Luqiu, listening on the side, felt no joy at all. In the end, was this man compromising only for the sake of the Fu Family's reputation?

"Grandfather…" Her eyes reddened, evoking pity, "Since Mr. Fu doesn't like me, then let me go please…"

She really didn't care about staying, it's not like she had nowhere to go without the Fu Family!

Old Mr. Fu sighed heavily, having calmed one, now to calm another: "Qiuqiu, don't cry. This grandson of mine is just inflexible when it comes to matters of affection, he also doesn't know how to cherish and protect the fairer sex. Forgive him, I've already scolded him for you!"

"But…"

Old Mr. Fu lowered his voice and said to her: "Don't look at Jingchen's cold demeanor right now, he's actually just a paper tiger. Spend more time with him, and he will not be willing to divorce you! Trust your grandfather, I won't lead you astray!"

He feared that Lin Luqiu was truly hurt by Fu Jingchen and would insist on a divorce.

Lin Luqiu felt that the old man before her indeed had it tough, at his age, yet still worrying over so much. For the sake of Old Mr. Fu, she finally nodded.

"…Well, okay." She still looked somewhat aggrieved.

Old Mr. Fu smiled with relief, then turned his head and gave Fu Jingchen a warning look, the meaning was clear: Treat your wife well, if you dare bully her again, this old man won't let you off so easily!

Fu Jingchen nodded slightly as a promise. He has always respected the old man, after all, he had been the elderly relative who treated him the best from childhood to adulthood.

Even better than his biological father.

Outside the door, having come up to the commotion and seeing the fun, Cui Rurong said to Old Mr. Fu as he walked out of the room: "Dad, since Jingchen himself doesn't want this wife, why force him? A forced melon isn't sweet."

She appeared to have Jingchen's interests at heart, but in reality, she hoped to take this opportunity to drive Lin Luqiu away.

"Forced?" Old Mr. Fu glanced at her. "So your meaning is that we should let it be, and let him divorce Qiuqiu?"

Cui Rurong naturally said: "Dad, you know as well as I do that she is not a match for Jingchen from any perspective. Our Fu Family's Young Madam, the CEO's Wife of the Fu Group, how could she be such a clueless and vulgar country girl?"

"Being clueless can be a good thing; at least she's pure." Old Mr. Fu didn't see it that way, "In any event, I'm very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law of mine, let's not talk about it anymore."

Having said his piece, he slowly strolled away with his cane.

Cui Rurong stood there clenching her teeth, a shrewd light appearing in her eyes. Even so, she was not about to let go of the woman who left her precious son battered and bloodied!

Moreover, if it weren't for Lin Luqiu, Fu Jingchen probably wouldn't have woken up so soon. Even though this issue seemed rather supernatural, she still blamed Lin Luqiu for Fu Jingchen's awakening!

With all these grievances piled up, naturally she hated Lin Luqiu even more!

If it wasn't for this woman's appearance, how could things have turned out this way?

...

As soon as Fu Jingchen came around, he was almost too busy to touch the ground, so much so that he did not even have the time to care about his own health.

This resulted in him experiencing some problems after nearly working non-stop for a day and a night.

His legs suddenly couldn't move.

Mr. Yao, realizing something was wrong, quickly stepped forward, "President Fu, should I call Doctor Song, or take you directly to the hospital?"

"…" The man sat on the sofa in the CEO's office, massaging his forehead, "No need, just find me a wheelchair, take me home."

When he first sensed something wrong with his body, Lin Luqiu came to mind.

The trust he had in that woman surpassed all others.

Remembering the way Lin Luqiu had looked at him with profound meaning when he left the house, he suddenly realized she must have predicted the issue with his health long before, she just hadn't voiced it.

She was waiting for him to come back to her.

...

"Jingchen, what happened to you!" Seeing Fu Jingchen being wheeled home by Mr. Yao, Ding Mengxue ran over with a worried face and crouched down, holding his hand.

"Haven't you recovered already? Why suddenly can't you walk again?"

Cui Rurong was on the phone with Mrs. Zhou from the hospital, getting an update on Fu Yuankai's condition. Hearing the commotion, she turned to glance at Fu Jingchen, a flash of surprise and delight passing through her eyes.

It seemed Fu Jingchen's health wasn't fully restored after all.

"I'm fine." Seeing Ding Mengxue getting anxious and about to look for Old Mr. Fu who was already resting, Fu Jingchen's lips parted slightly, stopping her. "I'm just a bit tired and don't feel like walking. I will go rest in my room now."

"Jingchen..." Watching his departing silhouette, Ding Mengxue's eyes dimmed. How she wished to be the one waiting for him in his room right now, not that country woman who couldn't even measure up to her by half.

Cui Rurong put down her phone and came over to pat her shoulder, softly comforting: "Mengxue, Mom knows you have always had feelings for Jingchen... Don't be sad, that Lin girl will never be worthy of Jingchen. In my heart, only you are the perfect match for him."

Ding Mengxue looked at her with surprise: "Mom, do you really think so? Then will you... help me?"

"Of course." Cui Rurong said with a smile, "If I don't help you, who will I help?"

With that support, Ding Mengxue instantly became full of confidence.

She couldn't help but clench her fists; she must drive Lin Luqiu away from Jingchen! Jingchen could only be hers alone, no one else could take him away!

...

When Fu Jingchen returned to his room, Lin Luqiu was lying on the bed watching TV. The ultra-thin, large-screen LCD TV played a melodramatic prime-time urban idol drama, which she was watching intently.

Several packets of snacks were laid out on the stool at the end of the bed, almost all eaten.

Fu Jingchen's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the woman on the bed wearing only a beige silk nightgown, her smooth white calves and feet swinging in the air. He wheeled closer to the bedside.

Lin Luqiu was engrossed in the TV, seemingly oblivious to his presence, not sparing him a glance.

Or perhaps she had noticed, but couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.

Considering the latter possibility, Fu Jingchen's expression turned dark as he stopped by the bed.

"Lin Luqiu." His tone had a hint of authority, deep enough that the surrounding air seemed to vibrate.

Lin Luqiu finally seemed to notice his return, blinked, turned her head around, and smiled.

"Mr. Fu is back, huh. Oh, why are you in a wheelchair? Weren't you fine when you left?"

As the only one in the family who knew her true colors of pretending to be weak, Fu Jingchen was unsurprised by her act.

She was timid and weak in front of others, but in front of him, she presented a completely different face.

"My legs suddenly lost feeling," he said as if stating something quite ordinary, "Surely, Miss Lin must know what's going on."
