When Fu Shinian entered the lounge, Su Mu was sitting in a chair beside, with Jiang Bei asleep, Su Mu didn’t disturb her and simply kept her company. Sensing Fu Shinian’s arrival, Su Mu rose from her chair, and because she was worried that their voices would wake Jiang Bei, they silently went outside together.
The door was left ajar, fearing Jiang Bei might wake up at any mont.
Fu Shinian had co alone, with nobody else following him, Su Mu’s expression was mild: "Where are the others?"
"Qiao Yu went back to his own departnt and will co by later, while Ji Nanfeng and Rong Shen likely went ho, or they might be sitting in the hall."
Su Mu nodded and didn’t say much more. Seeing this, Fu Shinian took her slightly cold hand in his and sat down on the bench beside them:
"Don’t worry about anything, once Jiang Bei wakes up and we’re sure that there’s nothing wrong with her health, we’ll take her back to Gui Ning Residence."
"I’m worried that Jiang Bei won’t go."
Su Mu had brought this up with Jiang Bei before, but was rejected. The reason was simple; she didn’t want to disturb Su Mu’s life.
A faint smile appeared on Fu Shinian’s face upon hearing this:
"That was before, but now that such a thing has happened, if Jiang Bei doesn’t want to see those two bastards, going to Gui Ning Residence is the best choice."
"I’ll talk to her when she wakes up."
"Mhm, the person has been found, and even Qiao Yu said it’s nothing serious, so you should also relax a bit."
Su Mu was silent for a few seconds before speaking again, her voice cold and devoid of warmth: "I want Jiang Bei to get a divorce. She shouldn’t have to live like this."
Fu Shinian gently stroked her hair:
"That will depend on Jiang Bei’s own decision; we can’t get involved."
Su Mu was about to say sothing when so noise ca from the lounge. Worried about Jiang Bei, she imdiately stood up to check. Jiang Bei had awakened and was now sitting on the edge of the bed, looking around blankly as if she didn’t quite understand why she was there.
"Xiaobei." Su Mu called her softly and stepped toward her: "How do you feel? Is there any discomfort? Should we call the doctor to have a look?"
Su Mu’s anxiousness was evident, and upon hearing her, Jiang Bei smiled faintly:
"I’m fine, really good."
Fu Shinian stood at the doorway watching the two inside, not speaking a word. After a few seconds, perhaps wanting to give them privacy, he intended to leave, but just then Jiang Bei called out, stopping Fu Shinian:
"Fu Shinian."
"Sothing the matter?"
"Take Su Mu with you when you go back, I’m fine here."
Hearing this, Fu Shinian turned to look at Su Mu, because he didn’t need to respond; Su Mu had already begun to speak. She didn’t argue, but simply asked Jiang Bei a question: "If it were who had these things happen to today, and you finally found after much difficulty, would you leave?"
Jiang Bei didn’t speak but held on steadfastly.
"Ji Nanfeng and Rong Shen were here, but Qiao Yu didn’t let them co in," Fu Shinian said. "They had a fight, both got injured, perhaps the outco will make you feel a bit better."
Jiang Bei tugged at the corner of her mouth and shook her head:
"It has nothing to do with anymore."
"Hmm, any decision you make is a good one, and Su Mu will support you unconditionally, but before the matter between you and those two is completely settled, no one can guarantee when they might appear before you to harass you. I don’t think you’re in the mood to face all this right now, so just now, I was discussing with Su Mu, and we would like to invite you to stay at Gui Ning Residence for a while."
Jiang Bei looked up at Fu Shinian, who had always been nonchalant, a smile playing on his lips:
"I can’t guarantee anything else, but Ji Nanfeng and Rong Shen are my friends. On my turf, they wouldn’t dare ss with you. If you don’t want to see them, I guarantee they won’t show up in front of you."
Jiang Bei also smiled:
"Sounds like a good proposal."
Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this:
"Is that a yes from you?"
"There doesn’t seem to be anything more tempting than this." Jiang Bei looked at Su Mu: "I don’t an to disrupt your life, but right now, I just want to do what’s best for the child. They indeed can’t give anything beyond upsetting , which is no good for the child. So, I might really need to trouble you for a while."
"What you’ve said... I lived in your apartnt for two years and wasn’t nearly this polite. Are you indirectly calling shaless?"
Jiang Bei smiled gently:
"That’s different. I wasn’t married, so what was mine could be yours. Now, your relationship with Fu Shinian is good, and you have your own life, children, and an elderly lady, so yours cannot be mine. I understand that."
Fu Shinian spoke up:
"You don’t need to think so much. Even if we don’t consider the years of friendship between you and Su Mu, the fact that you gave Su Mu a place to stay in Shen City ans there will always be a room for you in Gui Ning Residence. You can stay as long as you like."
"This seems like the first ti you’ve shown kindness."
Fu Shinian smiled faintly:
"Hmm, seems like you’ve never done anything similar for , but I don’t mind. Don’t worry about it."
It was precisely at this mont that Qiao Yu ca over, catching parts of their conversation, and looking at Jiang Bei:
"You’re going to Gui Ning Residence?"
Jiang Bei nodded:
"I just want to be at peace, and there seems to be no place better than Gui Ning Residence for that."
Qiao Yu had initially intended to take Jiang Bei with him, but what Fu Shinian had said was correct; at this mont, the only place that could offer Jiang Bei peace was Gui Ning Residence. Ji Nanfeng and Rong Shen were indeed not to be trifled with, but Fu Shinian undoubtedly had the power to keep them far from his domain. For Jiang Bei to stay at Gui Ning Residence was definitely the best choice.
"That’s good, take care of yourself, and I’ll co over to see you when I have the ti."
Jiang Bei looked at Qiao Yu:
"Thank you for today."
"Don’t ntion it, it’s what I should do."
For the first ti since their reunion, Su Mu saw in Qiao Yu’s eyes that there was no evasion when it ca to Jiang Bei; she seed to understand and feel sothing deep down, but didn’t think it was a good ti, nor did she think he had the chance.
After so many things, Jiang Bei’s heart was no longer the sa as in the beginning.
Once Fu Shinian and Su Mu were certain that Jiang Bei was fine, they took her away from the hospital. They didn’t see Ji Nanfeng and Rong Shen’s figures in the hall, and Su Mu let out a slow breath of relief. It wasn’t that she didn’t know how to face them but felt that if they were still there, Jiang Bei’s mood would surely be affected.
Jiang Bei seed to sense what Su Mu was thinking and gently took her hand:
"I’m not as fragile as you think."
