Chapter 167 The Difficulty of Having a Child in Old Age
Fu Shengyang changed his clothes and took Madam Ji to the hospital.
As she was leaving, An Xiaoyue looked at Fu Shengyang with gratitude.
Fu Shengyang went to take care of Ji Yubai partly out of brotherly concern, and partly because he didn't want her to be caught in the middle between Madam Ji and Zhong Lingxi.
An Xiaoyue and Fu Jinyun were left alone in the living room of Songtao Garden.
Fu Jinyun remained silent, one hand resting on the armrest of the sofa.
He understood Madam Ji's feelings all too well.
Sheng Yang did the same thing back then. He would go on blind dates arranged for him, and once the meal was over, he would pay the bill and that would be the end of it.
His health is deteriorating day by day. If he passes away, his grandson will be all alone in this world.
Living alone is a very lonely thing.
His grandson had been lonely enough growing up, and he didn't want Sheng Yang to be alone for the rest of his life.
He was so anxious that he developed mouth ulcers several times, but each time his grandson would just say it wasn't suitable and then leave it at that.
Whenever she thinks of these things, Fu Jinyun's eyes well up with tears.
His relieved gaze fell on An Xiaoyue. Thankfully, he had seen his grandson's happy face in his lifetime.
Xiaoyue is a pure and innocent person, and her understanding nature makes her a perfect match for the taciturn Sheng Yang.
Sunzi is not good at expressing himself, but Xiaoyue is a smart person and she can discover his good qualities from their daily interactions.
Love between men and women is the most difficult thing to find and seek in this world.
The grandson's good fortune was brought about by a girl named Xiaoyue and luck.
Fu Jinyun sighed softly, "Feelings can't be forced. Not everyone can cultivate feelings slowly after marriage like you two. There are countless resentful couples who can't stand each other."
“Yes, Grandpa,” An Xiaoyue agreed with her grandfather.
Initially, her relationship with Fu Shengyang was indeed just a matter of mutual benefit, with their only shared goal being the health and safety of their child.
Now that their child is about to be born, they get along very well.
As for feelings, a certain tacit understanding and mutual appreciation have indeed been cultivated in the ordinary days.
There are several happy couples around her.
Teacher Zhong and Teacher Zhou support each other in their work and life, complementing each other in their personalities and ways of handling things, and living a simple and happy life amidst the daily chores.
Uncle Leng Yushan and Aunt Fang Mei are also complementary types, one is in charge of external affairs and the other is in charge of internal affairs, which is why Leng and Fang have such a strong-willed "old son".
As for Mom and Dad, they have each other in their hearts; they are the type whose love can overcome any obstacle.
From this perspective, loving each other can lead to a life together, and complementarity can also make life happier.
For two people to live together, they must have at least one of the following: love, complementarity, and shared goals.
Judging from the atmosphere between Lingxi and Ji Yubai, the two have similarities, both love to play and eat delicious food; they also complement each other, Lingxi doesn't like to tidy up, while Ji Yubai is very good at housework and organization.
Aside from whether Lingxi likes Ji Yubai or not, Lingxi and Ji Yubai are a very suitable couple to live together.
An Xiaoyue's thoughts were a jumbled mess, and she thought of Ji Yubai's strawberries and Madam Ji's flower cakes.
And last time Lingxi was sick, Ji Yubai personally took care of her for three days.
She took a deep breath and made her decision.
She should tell Lingxi about Ji Yubai's illness.
An Xiaoyue made up her mind and decided to do it. She stood up and said, "Grandpa, I haven't finished watching my video yet, so I'll go back to Shuixie Residence first."
"Go do your thing. Sheng Yang is here to help take care of things. You can focus on your work." Fu Jinyun knew that her granddaughter-in-law was busy with the school's medical skills competition.
He felt the same way about Xiaoyue's hardships as his grandson, but he also fully supported what Xiaoyue wanted to do.
Uncle Fu escorted An Xiaoyue to the Waterside Residence before leaving with peace of mind.
She found her phone among a pile of documents on the coffee table and called Zhong Lingxi.
The phone rang for a while before being answered, followed by a burst of noise.
"Little Moon."
"Lingxi, what are you doing? Why is it so noisy?" An Xiaoyue turned on her phone's speakerphone and put it aside.
"Wait for me, I'm going to move away."
Then, there was a whooshing sound on the phone.
A moment later, Zhong Lingxi's panting voice came through, "I'm going back to school to take graduation photos and be with my classmates."
"Oh, you're graduating, I forgot about it." An Xiaoyue realized the time was wrong and felt extremely annoyed.
After confirming her stay at Changfeng Group, Zhong Lingxi has been traveling for work on projects. She's also been busy with the medical skills competition and has completely forgotten about this important matter.
Zhong Lingxi: "Today is just for taking graduation photos, the graduation ceremony hasn't started yet." Zhong Lingxi's voice was full of laughter, "You must come to give me flowers at the graduation ceremony, I will let you know."
An Xiaoyue was thinking about what flowers to give Lingxi at the graduation ceremony.
"So when are you going back to the project?"
"Let's do it in a couple of days. I need to go back to the company tomorrow to submit my onboarding documents. Do you need anything?" She hadn't told Xiaoyue because she was only back for a short time this time.
Two days won't interfere with Lingxi's work.
An Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment, then said directly, "It's President Ji, Ji Yubai. He's in the hospital. We only found out when his mother came to Fu Garden. Sheng Yang has already gone to the hospital to take care of him."
Zhong Lingxi's hand holding the phone went slightly numb, and her previously excited voice changed, "What illness does he have?"
An Xiaoyue: "It was acute pancreatitis caused by drinking alcohol during business dinners."
"Zhong Lingxi, the professor is here!" An Xiaoyue clearly heard Lingxi's urging voice coming from the phone.
Zhong Lingxi is not a procrastinator; she figured out what to do in just a few seconds.
"Xiaoyue, I'll go see him after I finish taking my graduation photos. He took care of me when I was sick before, and I'll go to repay his kindness these next few days."
An Xiaoyue: "Okay, you go ahead. I'll change my clothes and go to the hospital too. President Ji was only transferred to a regular ward this afternoon."
If Lingxi goes to the hospital, she will go with her.
"See you at the hospital," Zhong Lingxi said before hanging up the phone.
An Xiaoyue looked at her phone screen, which had gone black, and felt inexplicably melancholy.
Will Lingxi's trip to the hospital cause Ji Yubai to misunderstand even more?
The proud and smug face of Ji Yubai flashed through my mind. Did he think that Lingxi had feelings for him?
However, she agreed with Lingxi's approach on one point.
When Ji Yubai was sick, we should indeed go and see him.
Furthermore, if two people truly cannot be together, both Ji Yubai and Ling Xi should be more direct in their statements.
Especially Ji Yubai, he's the kind of person who'll take it as a yes if you don't seriously refuse.
An Xiaoyue sat there blankly for a while, then picked up her phone again and dialed Fu Shengyang's number.
After changing her clothes, she went to Songtao Garden to tell her grandfather, and then took Shang Qi to the hospital.
Beijing First People's Hospital is the strongest hospital in Beijing and even in the whole country in terms of comprehensive strength.
This hospital was An Xiaoyue's first choice for her internship.
She participated in the medical skills competition with the goal of getting into Beijing First People's Hospital.
The hospital director is one of the judges for the skills competition.
More than a dozen ambulances were parked in front of the emergency department, neatly arranged and in a solemn manner.
An Xiaoyue's heart raced, and her blood felt hot all over her body.
She walked through the wards, watching the busy and orderly medical staff.
An Xiaoyue thought to herself that she had to work hard and make sure she wore a white coat and learned from excellent mentors in the best hospital.
"Xiaoyue, over here." Madam Ji stood at the door of a ward, waving to her.
An Xiaoyue smiled sweetly and went to Madam Ji's side, "Auntie."
Mrs. Ji escorted her into the ward and introduced her to Mr. Ji, "This is Xiaoyue, whom I told you about, Sheng Yang's wife."
Mr. Ji stood up and said gratefully, "It is Bai's blessing to have friends like you."
Looking at Mr. Ji in front of her, An Xiaoyue truly felt for the first time how difficult it was to have a child in her old age.
Mr. Ji, who had stayed at the hospital all night, had swollen eyelids and bloodshot eyes. The muscles on his face seemed to have lost their support, hanging limply on his face, just like him.
"Uncle, you'll be fine once the danger period is over. You should get some rest; your health is very important."
An Xiaoyue thought that if Ji Yubai saw how worried his father was about him, he would cherish his health even more.
After exchanging pleasantries with Ji Yubai's parents for a while, An Xiaoyue closed the door and went to find Fu Shengyang so that Ji's uncle and aunt could catch up on some sleep.
