Chapter 190 A Hasty End to the Matter
Fu Jinyun learned of the news two days later.
Fu Shengyang coaxed An Xiaoyue to sleep, then, under the moonlight, headed towards Songtao Garden.
Walking in the quiet Fu Garden, his heart was exceptionally calm.
My only worry was that Grandpa might not be able to accept the truth and that his health might suffer.
Grandpa knew exactly how much he loved his only child by his side—Fu Wantang.
No matter how unhappy Grandpa and Fu Wantang were before, they were still father and daughter, connected by blood, so there was no deep-seated hatred between them.
"Why are you here so late instead of sleeping?" Fu Jinyun placed the brush on the brush holder before looking at Fu Shengyang.
"You didn't sleep either, did you?" Fu Shengyang retorted.
Fu Jinyun picked up the newly copied "Diamond Sutra," examined it carefully, and was not satisfied. "I have something on my mind, and I can't sleep."
When something is on your mind, even your calligraphy is not quite right.
"Grandpa Leng plays chess, practices Tai Chi, feeds the fish, and drinks tea with you every day. What else could be on your mind?" Fu Shengyang crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa, and spoke as if chatting casually.
Fu Jinyun looked up, glanced at him, and sighed softly, "Your aunt has disappeared. Xiaoyue's due date is approaching, and I'm worried that she'll do something bad again."
Since Grandpa knows that Fu Wantang is missing, did he also arrange for someone to keep an eye on Fu Wantang's whereabouts?
Fu Shengyang's gaze was ambiguous; he wanted to know if his grandfather knew that Fu Wantang had died.
"Just say what you have to say, why are you staring at me like that?"
It seems they don't know.
"You sent people to follow her?"
Fu Jinyun was not surprised by Fu Shengyang's attitude.
"The housekeeper who cooks for her called Uncle Fu and told him that she hadn't been home for a long time. I guess she went to see Jiang Mianzhi. But I'm also worried that she might do something stupid and not even know how she died."
He no longer interfered in or inquired about matters between his grandson and daughter. But he absolutely could not allow Xiaoyue and the unborn Lucky to be harmed.
Fu Shengyang knew that his grandfather truly did not know Fu Wantang's whereabouts.
He took out a screenshot from his phone and handed it to Fu Jinyun, saying, "Take a look."
"Police report!"
Fu Jinyun's brow twitched; she had a bad feeling.
He didn't want to admit that he knew those words, or rather, he didn't want the names of anyone associated with him to appear in the police report.
"What do you mean?"
Fu Shengyang: "Look carefully."
Fu Jinyun's hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably.
Jin Cheng, Fu Moutang, Jiang Mouzhi, suspected romantic entanglement, both died.
The identities of the two individuals match.
Fu Wantang, his pampered and arrogant daughter, is gone just like that?
The news came so suddenly that Fu Jinyun couldn't accept it for a while.
His hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably, and his lips trembled, unable to utter a word.
After swallowing several times, Fu Jinyun finally managed to find his voice, "When did this happen?"
Fu Shengyang: "Three days ago."
He should have been happy that a hateful person died, but he felt nothing.
Perhaps his heart was already overflowing with Xiaoyue's love, enveloped in warmth and passion.
He lived a happy life and naturally couldn't recall those feelings of hatred.
"My father-in-law called me when she had the accident; the ceremony was being held in Jinzhou..."
Fu Shengyang told his grandfather in detail what had happened that day.
Having gone through so much before, he wasn't surprised by anything that happened to his daughter.
The incident occurred in Jincheng.
Both Leng Shize and Leng Jiaren were in Jincheng, but she still couldn't let go of Leng Shize.
Memories flooded Fu Jinyun's mind.
After Susie's wedding, Leng Jiaren, the youngest daughter of the Leng family, disappeared.
After Susie's burial, her eldest son, Fu Yixiu, also underwent a drastic change in temperament.
He locked himself and his sister Fu Wantang in the room Susie had prepared for their daughter, and smashed everything inside to pieces.
That very night, he knelt to bid farewell to his father, determined to convert to Buddhism, spend his days chanting scriptures, and practice repentance in seclusion.
Wan Tang was rarely home.
After Leng Shize returned, he also went to ask about it once.
It is unknown what he said to Wan Tang, but Wan Tang stopped eating and drinking for three days.
She kept saying that her brother Shize should come and see her, that she was going to die.
Leng Shi, however, never came once.
One day, Wan Tang returned with a handsome man. Although he was petty in his manner, Wan Tang insisted on marrying him, so he gave in to her wishes.
With his family in ruins, Changfeng Group on the verge of collapse, and his grandson still young, he was overwhelmed with work and had no time to care for his young daughter.
This is also why he later felt indebted to his daughter and tried to make up for it in every way.
At the time, he knew that Wan Tang was just shifting her affections. As time went on, Wan Tang became happier and happier, and he thought that his daughter had found true love.
Looking back now, not long after Shize returned to China, the Jiang family ran into trouble, and she and her husband divorced.
All these coincidences are probably just a result of Wan Tang's fickle nature and her scheming mind.
Jiang Mianzhi is not the same Jiang Mianzhi as before; how could he be willing to be a substitute?
With everything clear, Fu Jinyun could only sigh heavily, "It's all fate."
"The funeral arrangements..."
Fu Jinyun interrupted her grandson, "According to the Fu family rules, those who commit suicide are not buried in the ancestral graveyard. I'll have Uncle Fu arrange for someone knowledgeable to buy a burial plot in Jincheng, and cremate and bury them there."
Fu Shengyang was surprised. When had his grandfather ever been so cruel to Fu Wantang, handling things so hastily?
“She doesn’t have much real power. The shares were given to her by me, and I’ve already taken them all back. I made my will some time ago. After I die, all my property will go to Xiaoyue.”
"As for the houses and vehicles under her name, let's sell them and donate the money. Consider it her last act of kindness and a way to accumulate good karma."
Fu Shengyang remembered that Xiaoyue had mentioned that some formally dressed people had come to their house, and that he should pay more attention to his grandfather.
It turned out that Grandpa had asked someone to come and make a will.
“She’s gone. Don’t worry about her causing trouble for you and putting you in a difficult position. Grandpa is getting old and doesn’t have many days left to spend with you. You and Xiaoyue should cherish each other. Someone in our family has to be happy, and Grandpa hopes that person is you.”
Fu Shengyang's throat tightened, and he only responded with a soft "hmm".
Grandpa's attitude was unexpected.
"Okay, let's go back and rest."
Fu Shengyang looked worried, "Grandpa, you..."
Fu Jinyun forced a smile. "Don't worry, I've long since come to terms with it. Grandpa is speaking from the heart. When it comes to matters of principle, Grandpa can still distinguish what's important and what's not."
Fu Shengyang knew that his grandfather also needed time to process everything. He got up to leave, saying, "Okay, you should get some rest too."
Walking back to Shuixie Residence, Fu Shengyang's heart was as bright as the moon.
He never questioned his grandfather's love for him.
Grandpa also loves his youngest daughter, and he was worried about his grandfather's health and feared that he wouldn't be able to accept it, which is why he hadn't told his grandfather yet.
We also blocked the police from calling Jincheng so Grandpa wouldn't know. We'll tell him when the case is officially announced today.
He and his father-in-law had taken every precaution, but they never expected things to turn out this way.
Fu Shengyang went upstairs, changed into his pajamas, lay down, and gently placed his hand on Xiaoyue's waist, his nose filled with her faint fragrance.
His younger sister is a blessed person, who turns misfortune into good fortune.
During childbirth, everything will surely go smoothly.
Xiaoyue's final exams are over, and next comes the birth of Xingyun.
None of the Leng family members knew anything about Fu Wantang.
The two families lived together, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
