Chapter 155: He Only Listens to You

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: He Only Listens to You

"I’m thinking of moving back in, and wait to return to school after your foot is better," Ye Zhun said seriously. "I can commute by bus, and Teacher Qin will agree."

"My foot is fine, I can take care of myself," Ye Yan shook her head. "From here to Yongyuan, commuting by bus takes over an hour each way. You’d have to wake up before 5:30 am to catch the early self-study session. It will affect your sleep and distract you."

"I’m a sophomore, not a senior. My studies aren’t so pressing. Besides, for me, my sister is the most important. Falling behind in studies can be made up, and the distance of the commute can be overcome. But leaving you alone at home, that’s what truly affects me."

"Ye Zhun is right," Fu Xingrui hurriedly chimed in before Ye Yan could speak. "I commute from my place too, and we have a car. Driving takes half the time, so don’t worry, sister. I’ll make sure Ye Zhun arrives safely on time every day."

Upon closer examination, Fu Xingrui seemed to only resemble Fu Xingzhou in their eyes. But while Fu Xingzhou liked to raise his eyebrows when speaking, the young man preferred to purse his lips, a gesture that made him appear more youthful and guileless.

Ye Yan knew Ye Zhun’s temperament and seeing him like this, she wouldn’t have peace of mind. It was better to agree to his suggestion than to let him worry continuously at school.

Her foot would be out of the cast in another half month, and then she could let Ye Zhun return to the dormitory.

"Alright, we have a deal. Once the cast is off, you have to go back."

Seeing Ye Yan relent, Ye Zhun cheered joyously.

"Hey, Fu Xingrui, where do you live?"

"My place?" Fu Xingrui didn’t really have a home in Ao City; he had been staying at the Yongyuan dormitory since his arrival. Caught off guard by the question, he simply answered, "I live in Zhou Shan."

Hearing the words "Zhou Shan", Ye Yan’s brows twitched. That was Fu Xingzhou’s villa.

"Zhou Shan? That’s too far from my home. Driving there would take half the city away," Ye Zhun said, shaking his head. "No, that would be too hard on you."

"Then I might as well stay at your place," Fu Xingrui proposed nonchalantly.

Ye Yan was about to object when Ye Zhun already slapped high-fives with him. "Agreed. The couch unfolds into a bed. You can sleep there, and I’ll set up a pallet on the floor."

The two hit it off immediately, and any objection from Ye Yan seemed rather unkind.

Fu Xingrui did this purely to make things easier for Ye Zhun. She couldn’t very well turn someone away who was being so helpful.

And so, Fu Xingrui moved into Daqian Creek with full legitimacy.

That night, he returned to Zhou Shan to get his things.

Upon entering, he found Fu Xingzhou sitting on the living room couch, talking on the phone with a bottle of half-drunk red wine on the table.

Fu Xingrui handed his backpack to the butler and poured himself a glass of water at the coffee table.

He leaned against the back of the couch, sipping water while staring at Fu Xingzhou.

Ten minutes later, Fu Xingzhou finally ended the call and tossed his phone aside. "Why are you back?"

"You broke up, so what? Why have you let yourself go like this?" Fu Xingrui expressed his incredulity. "You must have lost several pounds, right? With those dark circles, you could pass for a national treasure without any makeup."

"Make sure you’ve bought insurance before saying stuff like that," Fu Xingzhou picked up his wine glass and gave him a cool glance. "What brings you rolling back here?"

"I’ve moved in with my sister-in-law," Fu Xingrui boasted proudly.

See, what his second brother had wanted to do but failed, he’d accomplished.

Fu Xingzhou was first surprised, then swiftly regained composure. "We’re divorced."

"Being divorced doesn’t mean you can’t remarry."

"Enough, if there’s nothing else, finish up and get lost."

Anyone could tell that Fu Xingzhou was in a terrible mood.

Fu Xingrui wasn’t foolish; he knew when to stop. "Send a car for me. Ye Zhun needs to commute for a while."

"I’ll have someone arrange it," Fu Xingzhou said, taking a sip of his drink. "Anything else?"

"No, that’s all." Fu Xingrui stood up, looking somewhat concerned. "Your stomach is in bad shape, you should drink less. No matter how much you drink, it won’t solve the problem."

Before Fu Xingzhou could get angry, the young man quickly made his escape.

As soon as he left the room, the butler immediately followed him.

"Third Young Master, whenever you have time, please come back more often." The butler sighed. "The master drinks every day, and when he drinks, his stomach hurts. He won’t take his medicine either. I’m afraid if this continues..."

"You’ve seen it yourself, he definitely won’t listen to me. If I say two more words, I’ll be beaten." Fu Xingrui spread his hands helplessly. "A heart sickness needs heart medicine, and clearly, I’m not that."

"What should we do then? I can’t just stand by and watch the master torture himself like this. It will lead to something serious one day."

Fu Xingrui was also quite worried.

But in the entire Fu Family, no one could manage Fu Xingzhou except for the grandmother.

And the grandmother was in Hong Kong, with poor health herself; she couldn’t possibly run to Ao City to persuade him.

"Let’s leave it for now, maybe he will get better in a few days," Fu Xingrui scratched his head. "I’ll try to come back more often."

Although coming back was also pointless; he could hardly say a few words before being kicked out.

Fu Xingrui returned to Daqian Creek.

Ye Zhun had gone downstairs to buy something, and Ye Yan was sitting in front of the computer writing a document.

"Sister." Suddenly, Fu Xingrui stood behind Ye Yan, startling her.

She turned her head, avoiding those eyes that resembled Fu Xingrui’s. "What is it?"

"Sister, about Ye Zhun’s matter, it’s our Fu Family who wronged you, and I am here to apologize to you." Fu Xingrui bowed deeply at ninety degrees. "This is what the Fu Family owes you."

Ye Yan’s expression was impassive. "There’s no need to apologize."

She was tired of hearing the words ’sorry’ and ’compensation’.

"If that’s all you have to say, then you don’t need to say it."

Seeing that she wanted to end the conversation, Fu Xingrui quickly moved to Ye Yan’s side. "Sister, my second brother has been drinking heavily every day, the butler says he has stomach pains after drinking, and he refuses to take medicine. With the way he’s tormenting himself, something bad is bound to happen."

Ye Yan’s heart suddenly clenched uncontrollably, but she quickly said, "We are divorced now. He went his way, and I went mine. What happens to him has nothing to do with me."

"But only you can persuade him now, he only listens to you."

"If he had listened to me, there would never have been the matter with Xiao Zhun." Ye Yan’s emotions surged again. "Back then, how did I beg him to let Xiao Zhun off? Did he listen to a word I said? Stop saying all these high-sounding words. You might even start believing them yourselves if you keep it up."

"But..."

"If you still want to stay here, don’t mention him again, not a single word, or please leave immediately." Ye Yan hopped to the door. "Out."

Seeing her anger, Fu Xingrui could only leave the bedroom dejectedly.

Behind him, the sound of the door closing sealed off everything.

Ye Yan stood by the door, not returning to her seat immediately, her hand on the doorknob trembling slightly.

Fu Xingzhou’s stomach problems started from suffering in his childhood, from not having enough to eat and catching cold.

She would always tell him to go to the hospital for a checkup, but he was particularly averse to seeing doctors and couldn’t be persuaded.

When he traveled, she always packed stomach medicine in his luggage.

She had seen him having his stomach pains, coiled up despite his tall stature; she would give him medicine, massaging his stomach.
