“Zhonghe.” The man nodded, “Which is the acronym for my WeChat name, as I’ve told you before.”
Rongshu hmmmed twice, “As I recall, you said that you used to follow your mother’s surname before you changed it to your current name.”
“Before my father met my stepmother, the person he loved was always my mother, plus my grandfather only had my mother as a daughter and no other children, so at first, my father’s idea was to have two children with my mother, one following my mother’s surname to inherit the Zhong family in the future, so that the Zhong family would not fall into the hands of a side branch, and one following his own surname to inherit the Fu family, so after I was born I took my mother’s surname and was named Zhong He, only at that time, my father did not know that my mother did not intend to have a second child with him.”
“I understand that your mother’s heart has always been for Su Cheng, and having a child to give an account to the Fu family was the limit of what your mother could do.” Rongshu said with a sigh.
Being the same woman, she could understand Fu Jingting’s mother’s thoughts.
After all, having a child for a man you didn’t love, having one was already the limit of what the mind could bear, let alone having a second one?
“Not bad.” Fu Jingting nodded his head, acknowledging her words, “In fact, when they first got married, the two of them had already agreed that my father would set her free if my mother gave birth to an heir to the Fu family, but at that time, my father loved her so much that he couldn’t help himself, and when he heard my mother say this, how could he accept it in his heart, yet he couldn’t bear to be angry with my mother, so he could only bear to agree to my mother’s proposal. Covenant, but at that time, my father also had a selfish heart, after all, my mother only said to the Fu family to give birth to the heir to leave, and did not say how many specific births, so my father exploited this loophole, said the first child does not follow the Fu family surname, but follow the Zhong family surname.”
“Your father wanted to stall for time, deliberately delaying your mother’s departure from the Fu family.” Rongshu rubbed her chin to spell out Fu Jingting’s father’s petty thoughts.
The man nodded noncommittally, “You are right, my father does have this idea, as long as my mother’s first child is not the heir to the Fu family, then he has a reason, to let my mother continue to have a second child, in this way, my mother will stay in the Fu family, stay by his side, longer and longer, and my father will have more time to spend with my mother Even though my mother loved Su Cheng in her heart, after all, the two were separated by thousands of miles, one in the city of Shanghai and the other in the capital, plus technology was not so advanced at that time, so it was not so easy to see each other. rise, and in the end, my mother might just fall in love with my father.”
“Unfortunately, your father’s idea still fell flat, he thought too purely and underestimated your mother’s feelings for Su Cheng too much.” Rongshu looked at Fu Jingting with some heartache.
The man’s expression remained flat, not much emotion, “You’re right, my father thought too simply, he only thought that in time, my mother would give up on Su Cheng and fall in love with him, my mother is not a fool, naturally she could also see my father’s intentions, but did not expose it, until the two went to the hospital in vitro to successfully conceive me, after successfully getting me born, my mother also went along with my father’s The first time I saw my mother, she didn’t have the slightest resistance to letting me take her surname, so I thought my mother already had him in her heart and was willing to stay by his side and live with him.
“I can probably guess a little bit, your mother never intended to let you inherit the Zhong family from the beginning to the end, never intended to have a second one from the beginning to the end, so she didn’t care at all about who you actually took your surname from, right?” Rongshu looked at the cold side of the man’s face.
The man didn’t look at her, focused on the road in front of him, and softly mumbled, “That’s right, that’s what I mean, what my mother had in mind was that no matter what my surname was, she would only have me, and in the end, I would still be the heir to the Fu family, or even directly inherit the Zhong family, merging the two families. In short, for the future of the Zhong family, she didn’t think about it at all and didn’t care, in her heart, all of it, was not as important as her love.”
At this point, a sneer appeared on the man’s face.
Rongshu saw it and sighed in her heart.
Ah, the love brain.
His mother, the most love-brained woman she had ever met.
She had also been unable to let go of her feelings for Fu Jingting for the past six years, and knew that she was more or less love-brained.
But it wasn’t as bad as Fu Jingting’s mother’s, was it?
At least, she was able to lose her way, and was able to wrap things up in time to minimise the damage.
Fu Jingting’s mother, on the other hand, was so deep in her feelings for Su Cheng that she couldn’t extricate herself and ended up committing suicide and dying.
Poor, but also hateful.
To Su Cheng, Fu Jingting’s mother was a qualified lover, a faithful dog licker.
But to Fu Jingting’s father and Fu Jingting, she was not a good wife, nor a very good mother.
Even if she did have a motherly love for Fu Jingting, but raising a child as young as Fu Jingting as a stand-in for Su Cheng as a consolation would show just how impure a mother she was.
“But back there, it’s a good thing that your father doesn’t love your mother anymore, otherwise it would have gone on forever and your father would have been a second your mother.” Rongshu ruffled her hair and sighed softly.
But no, it was fortunate that Fu Jingting’s father finally came to his senses and fell in love with Wang Shuqin, otherwise he would have been deep in love with a woman who didn’t love him, and in the end, if he saw that Fu Jingting’s mother had really left, I’m afraid he would have done something extreme and suicidal.
The man gripped the steering wheel, his voice sunk a lot, “father he started out, indeed love my mother, love to the bone, from my birth, from my mother did not refute me after her surname, my father really thought my mother had him in her heart, but as my mother’s body recovered a little, also not willing to share a room with my father, still insist on living in two separate rooms, to my father distant and polite after, my father The two of them had children, my mother’s heart has not been his, has not been open to him, that moment, my father changed, not only to my mother’s feelings faded, even the character also changed, from a sunny talkative man, into a man of few words gloomy, not much drinking and smoking, he also began to smoke and drink, often get themselves drunk. ”
Rongshu’s red lips twitched, “Grandmother …… It must be very sad, right? A good son has become like this ……”
“Good, grandmother she is indeed very sad, carefully nurtured for decades son, once the character changed greatly, as a mother she, her heart is the most painful, at that time although I was small, but already remembered, long can see my father drunken scene, and my grandmother wipe tears.” Fu Jingting said as he tightened his brow.
“What about your mother?” Rongshu asked, looking at the man.
The man’s thin lips pursed into a straight line, “She? She doesn’t react much, a man she doesn’t love is just that, no matter what becomes of him, she doesn’t care, as long as it doesn’t affect her life or stop her from leaving.”
“Suddenly, it feels a little too cold-blooded.” Rongshu sighed.
