Is Chapter 274 sincere?
An Ying has been working non-stop these past few days and has barely slept.
In addition, the hospital refused all visits while Mr. Fu was in the ICU.
She could only learn about the old man's situation through a few words from Fu Chengli.
A few days later, the old man's condition finally stabilized, and he was transferred from the ICU to a VIP special care ward.
Upon hearing the news, An Ying immediately dropped what she was doing and rushed to the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, Grandpa Fu had already regained consciousness and was leaning against the hospital bed, being carefully fed liquid food by a caregiver.
Through the window of the special care ward, An Ying saw that the once vigorous old man was now covered in various testing instruments, his face pale and he looked extremely weak.
An Ying stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up her courage to push the door of the ward.
However, before her hand could even touch the doorknob, two burly bodyguards blocked her way, saying expressionlessly, "You can't go in."
An Ying was taken aback for a moment, then quickly explained, "I just wanted to see Grandpa, I won't disturb his rest..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door to the ward was gently pushed open from the inside.
Butler Zhao gripped the doorknob, glanced at An Ying with gentle eyes, and then said to the bodyguard, "It's alright, let her in."
After saying that, Butler Zhao took the fruit and gifts from An Ying's hands.
The bodyguards then made way for them.
An Ying glanced gratefully at Butler Zhao, thanked him softly, and then went into the ward.
A strong smell of medicine wafted over.
It smelled of disinfectant.
An Ying couldn't help but hold her breath.
She didn't dare get too close, only standing at the doorway, head bowed, softly calling, "Grandpa..."
An Ying felt somewhat guilty.
In fact, ever since Fu Chengli and the Fu family made their relationship public, An Ying has never dared to face Old Master Fu.
She knew that the Fu family had complicated internal relationships and cold interpersonal relationships, and that Old Master Fu, as the head of the family, was known for his strictness.
From the moment An Ying returned to the Fu family with An Weiping, she kept all the rules in mind and always maintained a strict distance from Old Master Fu.
Even so, An Ying could sense that Old Master Fu was not as cold and ruthless as the rumors suggested.
The man who once dominated the northern city is now just an old man with white hair, longing for the warmth of family.
The old man had protected her when she caused a scene at An Xiaoxiao's engagement party.
He suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and narrowly escaped death.
He felt as if all his energy and spirit had been drained.
The wrinkles around the old man's face deepened.
The person looked much older.
An Ying was truly unsure of Old Master Fu's attitude towards her and Fu Chengli. Was it the same staunch opposition he felt towards Fu Haidong, or...?
When Fu Chengli made his public debut, she was still recuperating in Yecheng.
Fu Chengli took the initiative to shoulder everything and told her not to worry.
But since Grandpa Fu was an elder, how could she not care about his thoughts?
As she hesitated, Old Master Fu beckoned to her.
Seeing this, Butler Zhao gently patted An Ying's back and whispered, "Go on, the old master is waiting for you."
An Ying walked towards the hospital bed.
Grandpa Fu gestured to the caregiver to clear away the bowls and chopsticks.
An Ying took the initiative to speak up: "Grandpa, I see that you have a good appetite. I'll make some soup for you next time to help you recover."
Grandpa Fu chuckled.
This little girl is so clever and mischievous. She knew exactly what he wanted to ask, but she deliberately changed the subject and started asking about his health.
Butler Zhao draped a blanket over Old Master Fu and then left with the caregiver.
Only An Ying and Grandpa Fu remained in the ward.
With a hoarse voice, Old Master Fu slowly asked, "Are you truly sincere towards Fu Chengli?"
An Ying was at a loss for words when the old man brought it up on his own initiative.
An Ying raised her head, looked at the old man, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Yes, I love him very much."
Grandpa Fu remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
He turned his head to look out the window.
His eyes were dark and silent, as if he were recalling some past events.
Spring has arrived in the northern part of the city, and the cold air has dissipated.
The spring breeze carried a hint of warmth.
“Yu Fen once said the same thing to me to her family.”
Yu Fen.
An Ying had heard Fu Chengli mention it before.
This is my grandmother's name.
They were a loving couple when they were young.
Despite their families' objections, they decided to be together without hesitation.
The old man withdrew his gaze, looked at An Ying, and said softly, "Actually, I had already noticed your suspicious behavior."
An Ying was stunned: "Already?"
The old man raised an eyebrow: "From the moment you joined the Fu family, I reckon my eldest grandson started plotting against you."
An Ying blushed and remained silent.
Nothing escaped Old Master Fu's discerning eye.
Grandpa Fu said earnestly, "Thirteen years ago, when An Weiping brought you back to Beicheng, I was surprised. I've raised this son for so many years, and I always felt that you didn't seem like the kind of child he could have given birth to."
"You were all huddled in the corner, watching the adults talk. The lively atmosphere in the living room made you look lonely and stubborn, which was completely different from An Weiping's other daughter."
An Ying didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she just lowered her head and her eyes reddened.
She always thought she was unnoticed.
No one ever paid any attention to her.
Old Master Fu took a sip of tea and continued:
"Chengli's parents had a complicated relationship. Fu Haidong cheated on his wife, and Yin Mei was also arrogant. Their divorce case caused quite a stir."
“I watched Chengli grow up. Although he seemed very calm about his parents’ divorce, what child can remain so indifferent when faced with their parents’ bitter divorce proceedings?”
"He's a lot like you; he swallows all his burdens and grievances himself."
“My grandson has been all alone all these years, and I’ve always been very worried about him.”
Seeing Grandpa Fu cough twice, An Ying quickly reached out to help fill the thermos with water.
Grandpa Fu glanced at the ripples of water under the covers and said, "After observing you for so many years, I can say that you are a good girl, independent and strong. An Weiping is a good-for-nothing, good at nothing. You have not inherited any of his character, and I am very pleased."
An Ying smiled sheepishly.
Grandpa Fu said, "Chengli also told me that he is serious."
"Since you young people are so compatible and serious about building your future, I, an old man, won't bother to object."
An Ying breathed a sigh of relief. The old man agreed?!
Old Master Fu's eyes darkened as he stared at An Ying: "But..."
