Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Uncle Fu Er

If it were a recorded broadcast, it would have been better.

The footage that was recorded could have been edited post-production, cutting out scenes unfavorable to Su Qi.

But with live broadcast, there’s simply no room for manipulation.

Someone who loves to act like Yan Qi definitely won’t miss the opportunity to make Su Qi look foolish on live camera.

Su Qi didn’t speak, his gaze lowered to the head cover in his hands, his voice faint, "I’ll meet force with force and cover water with earth. I won’t just stand there and let him slander me."

Le Feng scratched his hair in irritation, "Alright, just be on alert when the time comes."

Su Qi hummed faintly, after which he efficiently removed his makeup, put on a hat and a mask, and stood up to leave the makeup room.

He held his phone, opened the chat marked as "The Great God," and looked at it for a long time before shutting off his phone.

-

At the same time, at Haicheng First People’s Hospital.

A tall young man, wearing a black sun hat, dressed in a black long coat, with sunglasses and a mask covering his face, stood in front of Fu Shuqin’s hospital room.

The two police officers guarding the door eyed the young man warily, "Who are you? What are you here for?"

When Fu Xiao had gone to prison, Fu Shuqin was also supposed to be incarcerated.

But due to her poor health, the police, out of humanitarian considerations, had arranged for her to serve her sentence outside of prison and dispatched two officers to watch over her.

"Hello," came the young man’s mellow and deep voice from behind the mask as he lifted his slender and sturdy fingers to remove the mask from his face, "I’m the patient Fu Shuqin’s relative. May I go in to see her?"

Once the mask was off, the young man’s face was revealed.

It was a remarkably handsome face, with deep-set eyes and sculpted features. There was a slight resemblance to Fu Shuqin between his brows, with a faint hint of roguishness.

One of the officers immediately widened his eyes upon seeing the young man, stammering, "You, you are, Qi, Qi Film Emperor!"

Anyone who watched television knew that Qi Film Emperor was famously known in the entertainment industry as an experienced actor.

The characters he portrayed on television and in films were always brilliant.

Even the least significant cannon fodder roles became memorable in his hands.

He was now one of the most esteemed veterans in the film and television industry!

His whole family were fans of Qi Film Emperor!

However, hadn’t Qi Film Emperor’s studio released a statement saying he was overseas shooting magazine covers recently? When had he returned to the country?

Qi Zeyi smiled slightly, "That’s right, it’s me."

"Can I go in and visit the patient?"

Struggling to contain his excitement, the officer exchanged a glance with his partner, and said with a sense of duty, "You can, but you only have fifteen minutes."

"There are surveillance cameras installed in the room, but don’t worry, Qi Film Emperor, the footage won’t be leaked."

Qi Zeyi nodded lightly, "I understand, thank you."

The officer smiled and opened the door, "You’re welcome. Please come in."

Qi Zeyi walked into the hospital room.

As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a stench of decay.

Qi Zeyi paused in his steps and stood silently at the door, looking at the emaciated old woman lying on the bed.

Fu Shuqin was staring wide-eyed at the ceiling, her hand hidden under the blanket reaching down strenuously.

During the time she was held, Fu Shuqin had lost special treatment, and Jiang Yun was not willing to care for her every day.

Without a nurse to clean her body daily, turn her over, and change soiled bed sheets promptly, bedsores had formed on her body, both painful and itchy.

It tormented her throughout the night, keeping her from sleeping.

When someone pushed the door open, it was as if Fu Shuqin hadn’t heard it, focused on trying to scratch the itchy spot on her body.

Qi Zeyi watched silently for a minute, then sighed ever so lightly, took off his overcoat, rolled up his sleeves, and headed for the washroom.

He fetched a basin of hot water and set it by the bedside.

Silently, he peeled back the blanket and helped Fu Shuqin wipe her body clean.

For the bedsores, he also carefully cleaned them out, and upon seeing maggots in the infected sores, he picked them out and threw them into the trash.

Once he had cleaned her up, he took the dirty blanket and set it aside on a stool.

He lifted Fu Shuqin onto the sofa, changed the soiled blanket, and then carried her back to the bed.

After he had done all this, Fu Shuqin slowly began to react.

Her eyes widened as she stared at the indifferent young man before her, becoming extremely excited. She suddenly reached out, grabbed his wrist tightly, and struggled to speak, "Sec... second son?"

"You... you’ve come back?"

The strength in her grip was so great it pained him, but Qi Zeyi seemed to feel nothing much, merely grunting in affirmation.

Fu Shuqin’s eyes brightened even more, and she grew more agitated, drool spilling from her mouth as she hurriedly uttered, "Mom was wrong, Mom... Mom shouldn’t have cut ties with you."

"Can you... can you come back, help... help your younger brother?"

"Your younger bro... brother is still young... hasn’t had kids... can’t just let him... let him die like this."

"Your niece-in-law is heartless, she... she has done this to me, you must... must not let her off the hook."

Fu Shuqin’s speech was disjointed, but Qi Zeyi understood all the same.

He looked at her calmly, a trace of bitterness on his lips, "Always the third brother. Haven’t you suffered enough because of him?"

Qi Zeyi had indeed just returned from abroad to Haicheng.

But while he was overseas, he had kept up with the news of the Fu Family.

He knew how much Fu Shuqin indulged Fu Xiao’s reckless deeds.

He knew the behind-the-scenes actions Fu Shuqin had taken against his nephew.

His coming back was purely because Fu Shuqin had given him life, and he felt that taking care of her in her last moments would repay that kindness.

After all, during his childhood, Fu Shuqin favored Fu Xiao while the old Master Fu favored Fu Weizhi.

He, caught in the middle, was neither adored by his father nor loved by his mother, as if having parents was the same as not having them at all.

When he was ill, in trouble, or upset, their only response was blame and neglect.

Qi Zeyi’s heart grew colder over time, and as he grew up, by a twist of fate he was discovered by a talent scout, decisively cutting off his relationship with the Fu Family to enter the entertainment industry and carve out his own realm.

He knew parents’ lives were tough, so over the years, he had always sent a portion of the money he earned to Fu Shuqin.

Yet, every time he sent money, Fu Shuqin would send it back, repeatedly stating she wouldn’t accept the money of a performer.

So, his ties to the Fu Family gradually faded.

This was the first time in over a decade that he had seen Fu Shuqin since entering the entertainment industry.

But she didn’t ask him how he had been all these years, whether his life was good. Instead, she immediately requested he help Fu Xiao.

Qi Zeyi closed his eyes and let out a light sigh, "The state our third brother finds himself in is his own doing. I won’t help him."

Fu Shuqin’s eyes instantly widened, her emotions growing more intense as she mumbled incoherently.

Qi Zeyi turned a deaf ear, gazing down at her as he spoke, "I’m here this time to see you for the last time. After all, our mother-son relationship has already been severed."

"I will take care of your hospital and medical bills moving forward, and I’ll ask the police to hire a caregiver for you. From now on, take good care of yourself."

After saying this, Qi Zeyi firmly withdrew his hand from hers and turned to walk away.

Fu Shuqin called out several agonized cries but failed to make Qi Zeyi stop.

She looked on, bewildered, as the door slowly closed.

She just saw how well her second son was doing and wanted him to help pull her third son out of trouble.

Was she wrong?
