After a series of examinations, Lang Lang was fine. It was just a high fever. Lu Yiwei was relieved. However, the doctor suggested that he should stay in the hospital for observation and be discharged after the fever subsided.
As soon as the ward was arranged, Fan Chunfang's mother, Sun Chunyun, rushed in. She hugged Lang Lang and burst into tears as soon as she entered the room. She only calmed down after knowing that Lang Lang was fine.
After everything was settled, Sun Chunyun got up and looked at Lu Yiwei unhappily. She said in a muffled voice, "Yiwei, come out with me."
Lu Yiwei looked at Fan Chunfang, got up and walked out.
Although it was late at night, the corridor of the hospital was still crowded with people. Some were hurrying back and forth, some were sitting on the floor with dull eyes. Anxiety, fear, and helplessness were written on their faces, playing out the warmth and coldness of many families.
When they came to a relatively secluded corner of the stairs, Sun Chunyun suppressed her emotions and said with a dark face, "Yiwei, what were you doing when Lang Lang was sick?"
Lu Yiwei did not like the tone of her voice. She was always condescending and overbearing. It was not like that today, but it had been like that ever since they got married. He often had a sour expression on his face and used a commanding tone or a questioning tone to converse with them. Personality was one thing, but more was her sense of superiority and the contempt in her bones.
She had said many times on different occasions that Lu Yiwei was born in a farmer's family, was old, and had a history of marriage. If it was not for Fangfang's insistence on following you, she would have firmly opposed this marriage. You could marry Fangfang and have today's achievements all because of the Fan family. Otherwise, you would still be the king of the mountain in a small county town …
Every time they talked about these things, Lu Yiwei never refuted. It was not that he knew he was in the wrong, but he was too lazy to argue. He did not rely on any influence or power of the Fan family to get to where he was today. It was all his own effort. How could it be all the credit of the Fan family?
Lu Yiwei respected her as an elder, so he said patiently, "I have been busy with work for a short period of time …"
Without waiting for him to finish, Sun Chunyun interrupted, "No matter how busy you are, you can't ignore the child. I heard from Fangfang that you have not been home for a week, is that true? "
I heard from Fangfang that you have not been home for a week, right? "
Panting with rage, Sun Chunyun replied, "Yiwei, don't always use work as an excuse to neglect your family. Do you think you could have come this far without your family? Fangfang is my only daughter, and I do not want her to be wronged. Take care of yourself.
Lu Yiwei stood there in a daze. A helpless smile appeared on his face as he let out a long sigh. He walked to the window and looked out at the vast snowy landscape. His chest felt like it was being pressed down by a stone, making it hard for him to breathe.
He did not know when she had appeared. Fan Chunfang of. Lu Yiwei turned around and smiled at him, but he didn't know what to say.
Fan Chunfang walked forward and hugged him from behind. She leaned her head on his strong and broad shoulders and sniffed the faint smell of tobacco. She couldn't help but shed tears. After a long time, she said, "Yiwei, let's go home."
Lu Yiwei seemed to have not been in such close contact with her for a long time. He was not used to it and stood there stiffly. After a while, he pushed her away and said, "Didn't the doctor say to observe?"
Fan Chunfang wiped her tears and said, "I just asked the doctor and he said we can go home. It's nothing serious. Besides, Lang Lang is not used to this place. He is sleeping and waking up. "
"Oh, what does your mother mean?"
"She agreed to go home."
"Then let's go."
Lu Yiwei returned to the ward and packed up his things. He carried his son downstairs and took the car home. Sun Chunyun also came back. She started nagging the moment she entered the door. Lu Yiwei couldn't be bothered to listen to her. He hid in the study, closed the door, and closed his eyes to meditate. Although he seemed to be well-off, his heart hid pain that ordinary people could not understand. In the eyes of outsiders, they all thought that he was doing so well because he married Fan Rongkui's daughter. He was a typical "phoenix man". They did not mention anything about his ability. Even if he was capable, it was covered by this relationship.
Men need dignity. One could imagine the feeling of living in the shadow of others. It was undeniable that Lu Yiwei's growth was inseparable from the support of a noble person. But if it was not for that person, no amount of support could help. Sun Chunyun treated him so well because of what happened that year. For Su Meng, he gave up the opportunity to be selected as a deputy department leader. She thought that Lu Yiwei was two-timing and could not be forgiven.
Who didn't have a little secret? Moreover, Su Meng had appeared at his most difficult time and accompanied him through the difficult times. If it was not for the secular world, they might have been together. Every time he thought of Su Meng, Lu Yiwei was full of regret. He even felt that he had harmed her.
Lu Yiwei sat up and opened the drawer. He took out the "Capital" from the bottom and carefully opened it. A photo of him and Su Meng appeared. The photo was taken in December 2001. It was also a snowy day. Su Meng was wearing a white down jacket and a red scarf. She was nestled in his arms with a bright smile on her face. He was wearing a wrinkled suit, holding her hand and trying to smile. The picture was fixed at this moment. He looked at it with tears in his eyes.
"Yiwei, I have to go."
Hearing Fan Chunfang's voice, Lu Yiwei quickly closed the photo and put it back. He adjusted his mood and went out. "Mom, you have to go. It's snowing heavily. Why don't you stay here?"
Sun Chunyun did not appreciate Lu Yiwei's concern. She looked back at him coldly and said, "Take a leave tomorrow. You can go to work when Lang Lang is better. If you really can't, I will ask your dad to call Bai Zongfeng. "
Fan Chunfang quickly said, "Mom, don't meddle. Yiwei is busy with work. I have already taken a leave. "
Sun Chunyun looked at her daughter. She was full of motherly love. She wanted to say something but gave up. She touched her head and forced a smile. "Silly girl, you will suffer if you spoil him. Take good care of Lang Lang. Call me if anything happens."
No matter how old she was, she was still a child in front of her mother. Fan Chunfang said coquettishly, "I know. Take care."
Lu Yiwei did not say anything. He took the initiative and said, "Mom, why don't I send you off?"
Fan Chunfang immediately said, "Let Yiwei send you. It has just snowed. It is not safe on the road."
Sun Chunyun did not appreciate it. She looked at her meaningfully and said, "No need. Just take good care of Fangfang and Lang Lang." She then closed the door and left.
After Sun Chunyun left, the atmosphere in the room became awkward. Fan Chunfang rubbed her hands nervously. She said carefully as if she was facing a stranger, "Yiwei, are you hungry? Why don't I cook some noodles for you?"
"No need. Is Lang Lang asleep?"
"Yes. His fever has gone down after taking the medicine."
"That's good. You should rest early. It has been a long day."
