"Nana?"
On the other end, Fu Hanjiang was busy. "What's the matter?"
"What's the matter? Your good deed!" Fu Mingzhu couldn't suppress her anger as she reprimanded, "You, come over here right now!"
And then she hung up.
When Sheng Xiangsi returned with the dirty laundry, she noticed that her grandmother's expression was off. "Nana, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Xiangsi, ah." Fu Mingzhu held her hand, tears streaming down her face.
"Why didn't you tell me about this grievance?!" She pointed to Sheng Xiangsi's phone. "Solicitor Su is urging you to go through the procedures for alimony and property transfer!?"
At her words, Sheng Xiangsi's heart skipped a beat... Oh no!
...
"Nana, what's so urgent?"
Fu Hanjiang rushed over, not knowing what had happened.
Seeing that her grandmother was fine, why was Sheng Xiangsi here? He suddenly felt a bit anxious.
"What's the matter?"
Fu Mingzhu spoke up. "Come here."
"Oh, alright."
Fu Hanjiang didn't understand, but he couldn't disregard his grandmother's words. Otherwise, why would he rush over here immediately?
"Nana..."
Slap!
As Fu Hanjiang approached, he barely had time to open his mouth before he received a slap across his face.
"Grandmother?" Fu Hanjiang was bewildered, looking at her with confusion. "Why did you hit me?"
"Why? Hmph!"
Fu Mingzhu sneered coldly, a rare sight after so many years. Fu Hanjiang had a bad feeling about this.
"Fu Hanjiang! Fu Second Master, Fu Young Master, do you think you're so great now that you no longer need to consult me on everything?"
"What's going on?" Fu Hanjiang didn't understand. Hadn't he stopped consulting his grandmother about Fu family matters long ago? As for personal matters... they'd been handled by Yao Leyi years ago.
"Grandmother, please explain..."
Suddenly, he realized something and turned to Sheng Xiangsi, who was standing silently to the side. Could it be...?
Sheng Xiangsi lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze.
Fu Hanjiang's scalp tingled. Did he just...?
"Quiet!"
But his grandmother immediately stopped him from yelling at Sheng Xiangsi. "How dare you shout at Xiangsi? What, don't you want her anymore? Or is it her fault?"
Exactly!
Fu Hanjiang's eyebrows furrowed tightly, frustration evident in his expression. He turned his gaze sharply towards Sheng Xiangsi. "What did we agree on? You promised me yourself, yet you go behind my back and complain to my grandmother?"
Since his grandmother already knew, there was no need to hide it anymore.
Sheng Xiangsi hesitated, her mouth opening and closing without a sound.
There was no way to explain.
Though she hadn't directly reported it, the situation had arisen because of her... She should have put the phone away.
With her head down, she whispered, "I'm sorry."
"Sorry?"
Fu Hanjiang was furious, his cold smile evident. "My grandmother is so angry, she's hurting her health. Can you bear the responsibility?"
"Enough!"
Fu Mingzhu couldn't bear to see it anymore. "Fu Hanjiang, even if I get sick from anger, the responsibility lies with you, not Xiangsi!"
"Grandmother..."
Fu Hanjiang felt helpless. Who was he more related to, Sheng Xiangsi or his grandmother?
"Divorce?"
Fu Mingzhu's eyes turned red, tears welling up. "How could you agree to it? Yes, Xiangsi made a mistake, but she's been abroad for so many years! Isn't that enough?"
"Grandmother."
Fu Hanjiang supported his forehead, trying to argue, "Xiangsi and I are really not compatible..."
"How long have you been together?"
Fu Mingzhu disagreed. "Less than two months of marriage, and she's already left. How can you know if it's suitable or not without trying?"
Suddenly, his grandmother clutched her chest. It was where her heart was!
"Nana!"
"Nana!"
Fu Hanjiang and Sheng Xiangsi were both shocked, rushing forward to support Fu Mingzhu.
"Get the doctor quickly!"
"Alright!"
Sheng Xiangsi agreed and ran out.
"Fu Hanjiang."
Fu Mingzhu held her grandson's hand. "This can't continue, it can't be like this for Xiangsi... I know you blame her for Lei's miscarriage. I'm also sad about it—"
"But Xiangsi didn't do it on purpose. She's not a bad person. Look at how she saved my life. Don't treat her like this because of one mistake. Can you promise me... promise me?"
"Alright, alright!"
In this situation, did Fu Hanjiang have any other choice? Holding his grandmother's hand, he nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, I promise you, I promise!"
The doctor arrived, gave Fu Mingzhu a shot, and examined her.
"There's nothing serious, just an emotional outburst. But in cases like these, it's better to avoid them as much as possible."
"Got it."
"Thank you, doctor."
After getting the shot, Grandma fell asleep.
Fu Hanjiang left the ward, with Sheng Xiangsi following behind.
"Fu Hanjiang." Sheng Xiangsi plucked up her courage and spoke up.
"Hmm?" Fu Hanjiang glanced coldly at her. In his eyes, she was now a person who betrayed his trust and backstabbed him.
"If you have something to say, say it. Don't come running to my grandmother to complain anymore."
Sheng Xiangsi's heart tightened, unsure how to explain.
After all, given the situation, she had no room for rebuttal.
"Sigh."
Fu Hanjiang gave a short, cold laugh. "I don't quite understand you. Is it interesting to keep bothering me like this?"
Before Sheng Xiangsi could reply, he walked away.
Stunned, Sheng Xiangsi stood still, rubbing her forehead helplessly. Should she tell him or not... she was quite unlucky.
...
That night, at Mishra.
Fu Hanjiang didn't show up.
After Sheng Xiangsi's performance, when she returned to the backstage, there were flower baskets everywhere.
"Xiangsi!"
Manager Wu danced happily. "Did you see? All these, and those inside... were all sent by Mr. Fu!"
