Chapter 173 Planning to Change the Environment
Wen Zhixia is not like those girls who would stick to her and coax her. She doesn't like disobedient daughters-in-law.
In fact, Song Ailing had never understood why Fu Ruoshi liked Wen Zhixia. If she was beautiful, there were countless people who were prettier than her. If she was knowledgeable, there were many peers as knowledgeable as her.
Now she understood that although Wen Zhixia looked weak and delicate, she actually had an unyielding pride in her bones. Even Song Ailing, who had seen countless people, couldn't find anyone like her for a while.
"But Wen Zhixia, don't you understand?" Song Ailing was furious. "You and Ruoshi are still connected like this, which will only bring disaster to each other. Ruoshi lost half his life for you. Now everyone knows that you are my son's weak spot. Anyone can use you to control him. We are not an ordinary family. Fu's employs thousands of people. Ruoshi must find a woman who can help his career. Can you help him? Can he live in love for the rest of his life? He will eventually grow up, right?"
Wen Zhixia was speechless at her old-fashioned way of thinking.
She asked, "Mr. Fu is almost thirty and still hasn't grown up. How dare you let such a giant baby inherit the family business?"
Song Ailing blushed: "No, how can you talk like that?"
Wen Zhixia usually doesn't talk back at people; that's her passive skill. When she starts talking back at people, even the eloquent Fu Ruoshi is no match for her.
Now Song Ailing is no longer her mother-in-law, so why should she be afraid of her?
"I'm sorry, I'm telling the truth," Wen Zhixia said calmly, "It seems you still have a prejudice against me. I don't want to have any further contact with Fu Ruoshi, but Jincheng is so small, and he insisted on looking for me, so I can't do anything about it. Since you don't believe me, I'll let him tell you in person."
Without waiting for Song Ailing to nod, she directly dialed Fu Ruoshi's number.
The phone was in her hand, and she could call whoever she wanted.
Fu Ruoshi was in a meeting, but he always answered Wen Zhixia's calls immediately.
"Hey," his voice was filled with surprise, "Any instructions, boss?"
Hearing her son's flattering tone, Song Ailing was so angry that she was fuming. He didn't even speak to her in such a flattering way!
Wen Zhixia turned up the volume on the receiver. "Mr. Fu, Mr. Song is next to me. I want to explain to you in front of you. I have never thought about having any further contact with you, nor have I thought about remarrying you, and I don't want a penny from the Fu family. Can you please be consistent in your words before you lecture me? Please don't affect my work, okay?"
"Song Ailing? She's next to you?" Fu Ruoshi's breathing became heavy. He said in a deep voice, "Don't be angry. She's next to you, right? I'll take care of her."
Song Ailing heard it clearly.
Fu Ruoshi said, "I've liked Wen Zhixia since high school. If I can like her for ten years, I can like her for the rest of my life. I won't marry anyone else except her. If she doesn't want to be with me, I won't marry another woman even if I come out. Do you understand me?"
"Fu Ruoshi, you...!" Song Ailing was so angry that she was incoherent. "What are you talking about? Are you crazy? Do you still have me as your mother in your eyes?"
"Yes. You are my ancestor."
"You beast."
"I am the placenta you raised."
Wen Zhixia didn't expect the mother and daughter to fire at each other in front of her, so she quickly turned off the hands-free function.
The scene was embarrassing.
"Okay, stop talking." She said to Fu Ruoshi.
"Okay, my dear." Fu Ruoshi's voice suddenly softened. "But I've wanted to say these things for a long time. Our affairs are between us, and I don't want anyone else to interfere. Song Ailing's coming today is just right. I'll tell her everything in one breath. In fact, the blood I vomited that day was all the anger I've been holding in for the past three years."
He was still aggrieved.
Wen Zhixia thought, no wonder Fu Keming beat him so hard that his skin was torn and Song Ailing didn't say a word to persuade him...
Song Ailing was taking deep breaths the whole time and due to her upbringing, she did not lose her temper in public.
Wen Zhixia hung up the phone and said to Song Ailing, "Mr. Song, my position is very clear. Mr. Fu's position is not something I can influence. This is your family affair. I can't interfere. I'm sorry, please take the things back. I have to go to work."
After saying that, she left the corridor without looking back and no longer paid any attention to Song Ailing.
After returning to the office, Wen Zhixia couldn't calm down.
She didn't want to get to this point. Although she already knew Fu Ruoshi's intentions, his position and principles, she didn't want to see him go against the entire family for her, which would make her feel guilty.
Even though he was very confident and expressed his feelings on the phone, marriage is a reality. Once the novelty wears off and time passes and your face ages, who can prove that he will always stand by you?
Forget it, Wen Zhixia made up her mind.
Someone as insecure as me is not suited to marriage, so I'd better stay alone.
After checking the room, Wen Zhixia's phone was full of missed calls.
They were all beaten by Fu Ruoshi.
And the message he sent:
[I've dealt with Song Ailing. She won't look for you again.]
[Are you off work? I'll pick you up.]
He had a clear stance and didn't try to smooth things over, so Wen Zhixia wasn't angry. She felt complicated as she read what he had posted.
If she had not been so patient and had confronted Fu Ruoshi directly when Song Ailing targeted her for the first time, perhaps there would not have been so many estrangements and misunderstandings.
Why is life always full of regrets of missed opportunities?
Wen Zhixia sighed and replied to Fu Ruoshi: [Don't pick me up. Don't say harsh words to Mr. Song. She's your mother. No matter how you hurt her, she won't really blame you.]
Fu Ruoshi: [I understand. As long as you are willing to pay attention to me, that’s all.]
Followed by an emoticon pack that says "I understand."
Wen Zhixia smiled helplessly.
Although she laughed, she had been through a lot of physical and mental suffering during this period, and even now there was still a lot of gossip about her in the hospital.
She wanted a change of scenery.
Before this, she learned that several grassroots hospitals in Jinghai County, a neighboring city, were short of staff and had been looking for leaders of the affiliated hospital for some time, hoping to transfer staff there.
Wen Zhixia was born and raised in Jincheng. Her school and work circles are all in Jincheng. She has never left here to work or live elsewhere alone.
After experiencing what happened during this period, she reflected on it and felt that she was too inexperienced and had lived too comfortably in the past, so she did not know how to judge people and was not wary of them. She wanted to leave Jincheng and live outside for a while.
Jinghai is a small place, about two hours away from Jincheng. Wen Zhixia had passed by it twice on business trips before. He remembered that the sky there was very blue, the streets were very quiet, and there were seagulls in the sky.
Moreover, being seconded to the grassroots level would be a great plus for her future professional title evaluation. She had had this idea a long time ago, but had not made up her mind due to the unstable conditions of several patients she was handling.
Now that I'm alone, I'm free to go anywhere, so I might as well go and ask.
Thinking of this, Wen Zhixia took immediate action and went to Director Wu's office.
