The yandere CEO’s Black Moonlight is reborn again

Chapter 280 Fu Zhengqian

The next day after a good rest, the two went to see Mr. Fu together.

Ye Xi had seen many once-ruthless, powerful men in Yuncheng, now elderly. She even had one in her own family. Having navigated the business world for so long, most refused to accept their age. Even as their bodies and minds gradually weakened, they clung to their power, refusing to relinquish it. When facing younger generations, they maintained their authority, releasing the pressure of superiority, unwilling to be the vanguard defeated by the younger generation.

But when she saw Fu Zhengqian, she was a little surprised.

When he first met him, he looked like an ordinary old man, with gray hair and a peaceful expression. He was sitting alone in a wheelchair outdoors in the sun, without even a caregiver by his side. When Fu Linchuan went to help push his wheelchair, he was as calm and natural as if he were treating an ordinary old man in need of care, so much so that Ye Xi didn't recognize him at first.

Fu Linchuan pushed him for a walk, and Ye Xi followed behind him. Through the occasional conversations between the two, she slowly guessed his identity. When the wheelchair stopped and Fu Linchuan introduced himself to him, Ye Xi went up to talk to him.

Fu Zhengqian is just like his name, upright, humble and gentle, a little old man who is very easy to get along with.

Although this was the first time these two near-strangers met, the old man treated her like an old friend, chatting casually and naturally, his questions approaching with a touch of intimacy without seeming offensive. Upon learning that Ye Xi was also managing the company, he offered some thoughtful advice, which Ye Xi took note of. Within twenty minutes, Ye Xi was chatting and joking freely, even taking Fu Linchuan's place, pushing him along the slightly flatter ground.

Mr. Fu loved the outdoor scenery. The three of them walked around and around along the path in the hospital until the nurse came and urged him to go back. The old man then reluctantly took a look at the flowers, plants and trees outside and was pushed indoors by the nurse.

In the following days, whenever Fu Linchuan was busy at the company, Ye Xi would come to chat with the old man out of boredom, asking him about Fu Linchuan's past and the management of the company. When the old man got excited, he would also tell some interesting stories from his youth. Sometimes, Ye Xi would have a vague illusion that if Fu Linchuan got old, he would probably look like this.

However, after a long time, Ye Xi also understood why the old man could not leave the hospital.

Not only was his body getting weaker, but he was also showing signs of Alzheimer's.

Although the old man always remembered who she was every time she came and spoke very clearly and coherently, Ye Xi hardly noticed anything unusual during the first three days. It was not until the fourth day that he began to repeat what he had said before during the conversation.

At first, Ye Xi thought he just had mixed up what he said, so she reminded him several times until the repetitions became more and more frequent. On the seventh day, when Ye Xi went to see him, everything he said and did was exactly the same as the day before.

Ye Xi checked his medical records and her guess was confirmed.

When she returned home, she told Fu Linchuan about this. Fu Linchuan comforted her and suggested that she could visit less often in the future. The nurse would record the old man's physical condition. If she felt it was inconvenient, she could wait until the old man was in better condition before visiting again.

Ye Xi, however, felt that this was inappropriate. After all, he was Fu Linchuan's family. Basic love and respect aside, it would be too helpless for an old man to forget everything and have no one to rely on. Anyway, she had been accompanying Fu Linchuan to Country L for the past few days, so she considered it a little filial duty for him.

And every time she saw Grandpa Fu's symptoms, she couldn't help but think of Old Man Ye. What if he became like this when he got old? So, when she visited Grandpa Fu every day, in addition to chatting with him, she also learned about the prevention and care of Alzheimer's disease.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Fu Linchuan's previous statement about developing new business segments in Cloud City as a future development focus was no joke. He'd been traveling back and forth between Cloud City and City A recently to focus on this very task. The infrastructure in Cloud City was nearly complete; all that was left was to migrate the core models there. However, this final step was crucial and couldn't be sloppy, so he personally oversaw most of the work.

The weather was rather gloomy that day. Fu Linchuan left early; he had been incredibly busy these past few days. Ye Xi hadn't seen him when she woke up in the morning, and he was already asleep when he returned at night. Not seeing him for so long made Ye Xi increasingly bored, so after breakfast today, she went straight to the hospital.

Ye Xi planned to spend the entire day in the hospital and had already ordered lunch and dinner. However, upon arriving at the old man's nursing building, a loud thunderclap erupted in the sky, followed by a heavy downpour that darkened the entire sky.

It seems that it is impossible to go back early today. I really have to stay here all day. Ye Xi sighed in his heart.

When Ye Xi entered the room carrying fresh fruits, the old man was sitting quietly in a wheelchair by the window watching the rain.

The room was not on a high floor, but I could still see people coming and going below, their pace disrupted by the rain. Those without umbrellas were running around, while those with umbrellas were holding on to their handles tightly to block the strong wind.

"Grandpa, how are you today?"

Ye Xi put down the fruits, many of which were her favorites. While putting them on the fruit plate on the table, she took out a few and prepared to wash and taste them.

The old man ignored her and focused on watching the wind and rain outside.

Ye Xi didn't care. After all, his condition had been fluctuating these days, and ignoring people was the mildest symptom.

Even when Ye Xi finished washing the fruit and sat down with him by the window, the old man still didn't react. Ye Xi didn't say anything either, just watched with him while eating the fruit.

Just as she was also looking at it intently, the old man suddenly turned around, saw her, and smiled: "Girl, you are back?"

Back? This is her first time here today.

But Ye Xi didn't think much about it. In the past few days, whenever she couldn't understand what the old man said, she would just agree with him and reply, "Yes."

The old man smiled and looked very relieved: "I knew he would find you."

"Him? Are you talking about Fu Linchuan?" Ye Xi threw another grape into her mouth. "Why did he look for me?"

Fu Linchuan hasn't been seen in the past few days. She can't find him even if she wants to. How could he possibly find her?
The old man is probably not sober again.

Ye Xi shook her head, but heard him say another sentence: "He has been looking for you for a long time. Let me calculate, it has been several years."

Ye Xi paused.
