Chapter 156 But the outcome is up to me.

Chapter 156 But the outcome is up to me.

When Xiao Nian'an frowned and said "I won't eat," her eyes were even more determined than when she was joining the Party.

Fu Siyan scrutinized his small face for a moment, then looked away and continued eating.

Feng Yuncheng glanced at Fu Siyan indifferently, and seeing his expression, he paid no further attention.

"What is physiological aversion?" Xiao Anning asked curiously, swallowing the shredded potatoes in her mouth.

"Simply put, we think shredded potatoes taste good, but if Xiao Nian'an eats them, the taste might be different," Wen Jingxi explained.

"Huh?" Xiao Anning looked at Wen Jingxi and blinked. "What will Xiao Nian'an taste like if she eats it?"

"Well..." Wen Jingxi pondered for a moment, then said, "It might smell bad? Bitter? Or maybe like a toilet brush? Or the smell of a stinky sewer?"

Fu Siyan, who was eating elegantly: "..."

Xiao Nian'an pointed at the shredded potatoes and said one word: "Stinky!"

Fu Siyan paused in his chewing, his eyes dark and unfathomable.

"The shredded potatoes are so delicious, how could you taste something smelly?" Xiao Anning shook her head. "Poor Xiao Nian'an!"

"It's something that's just how she is, there's nothing we can do about it. But apart from shredded potatoes, our little Nian'an isn't a picky eater at all," Zhang Yun said with a smile, patting Nian'an's head.

Shen Qingshu picked up a few green vegetables, cut them with special scissors, and put them in Xiao Nian'an's bowl. "We can't eat the shredded potatoes, but the green vegetables are full of vitamins, so eat more of them."

"Thank you!" Xiao Nian'an looked at Shen Qingshu with bright eyes.

Shen Qingshu was pleased to see that he had made significant progress in communicating with others.

Through observation, she even felt that Xiao Nian'an did not have autism.

It's likely due to a congenital deficiency, coupled with the fact that she was surrounded by adults who took meticulous care of her, which resulted in her having little desire to express herself. Over time, her language development became delayed.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingshu looked at Feng Yuncheng, "Yesterday you took Xiao Nian'an to see Dr. Jin, what did Dr. Jin say?"

Feng Yuncheng: "Dr. Jin said that Xiao Nian'an has poor congenital development and weak spleen and stomach. He suggested combining dietary conditioning and pediatric massage."

Shen Qingshu said, "Dr. Jin is very skilled in pediatric care."

Feng Yuncheng raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"

Shen Qingshu could tell that he didn't quite trust Jin Que, so she added, "Xiao Anning's immunity was very poor in the first six months after she was born. She didn't gain weight and was always sick. Moreover, she has allergies and is very difficult to feed."

Feng Yuncheng looked at Xiao Anning, "I can't tell at all from this."

The current Anning is incredibly vibrant.

Shen Qingshu smiled and said, "That's all thanks to Dr. Jin. Someone recommended that I come to the ancient town to see Dr. Jin. Since Xiao Anning started seeing Dr. Jin for treatment, her condition has gradually improved. Now that her spleen and stomach are in good condition, she can absorb everything she eats, and her immunity has also improved."

“Yes, Dr. Jin is really amazing. Look at our little Anning,” Bai Jianwen said with a smile, “She’s eating so well now, and her complexion is great too.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuncheng looked at Xiao Anning again.

Fu Siyan also stopped and subconsciously looked at his daughter.

The little girl is focused on eating, taking one bite of rice and one bite of vegetables, eating without any distractions.

Jiang Wenjin laughed and said, "Our little Anning is a chatterbox. The only things that can keep her quiet are sleeping and eating."

Upon hearing this, the adults all laughed.

Hearing them laugh, Xiao Anning looked up and blinked innocently, "What are you laughing at?"

Shen Qingshu patted her daughter's head, her eyes crinkling with joy, "We love watching you eat; you look so cute when you eat."

"Watching me eat..." Xiao Anning swallowed the green vegetables in her mouth, frowned, and looked very serious. "Will watching me eat make you full?"

"..."

The little girl scooped up another spoonful of millet porridge and put it in her mouth. "See? See? No matter how many people are watching, it won't affect my eating!"

After he finished speaking, the adults at the dinner table all laughed.

The atmosphere at the meal became much more lively because of Xiao Anning.

Zhang Yun was truly moved to see how well Xiao Anning was being raised.

After the meal, she mustered up her courage and persuaded Feng Yuncheng to listen to Shen Qingshu's recommendation and take Xiao Nian'an to see Jin Que again.

Feng Yuncheng listened to advice and, together with Zhang Yun, took Xiao Nian'an to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.

Xiao Anning didn't have to go to kindergarten today, but she insisted on going with us.

Wen Jingxi was worried about Xiao Anning going out with Feng Yuncheng and the others, so he went along as well.

After they left, Shen Qingshu helped Bai Jianwen clear the table.

Fu Siyan and Jiang Wenjin were making tea under the old banyan tree in the courtyard.

The sound of running water could be heard constantly in the kitchen.

At the sink, Bai Jianwen asked Shen Qingshu while washing dishes, "Fu Siyan isn't planning to leave yet?"

"have no idea."

Bai Jianwen glanced out the window. "He's still making tea with Lao Jiang! He drank so much with Mr. Feng last night, and then stayed up all night drinking tea, yet he's still so energetic! He's still young!"

Shen Qingshu didn't respond, staring thoughtfully at the bubbles in the pool.

Bai Jianwen turned to look at her, "I think he probably has something he wants to say to you alone."

Shen Qingshu's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she pulled the tap and rinsed away the foam. "We have nothing to talk about."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianwen sighed, "This Fu Siyan is truly unpredictable..."

…

After tidying up the kitchen, Shen Qingshu and Bai Jianwen came out.

Fu Siyan happened to walk in from outside.

Seeing Shen Qingshu, he said calmly, "Shall we talk?"

Calmly and gently, she relaxed her furrowed brow.

"I'm going to find Old Jiang." Bai Jianwen patted her hand and turned to walk into the courtyard.

Shen Qingshu stood there, looking at Fu Siyan, who was a few meters away from her. "Fu Siyan, the court hearing is tomorrow. I have hired a lawyer. If it's about divorce, you can talk to my lawyer tomorrow."

Fu Siyan pursed his lips, seemingly helpless. He sighed softly, "I came here to ask you, how is Aunt Jiang?"

"There's no need for Attorney Fu to worry about that."

Shen Qingshu's attitude was very cold.

But Fu Siyan seemed to have suddenly lost his senses and said calmly, "If the treatment is not going well, I have contacted experts in this field abroad who can be arranged to come over at any time."

“No need,” Shen Qingshu couldn’t stand his self-righteous manner. “I have great confidence in Dr. Jin’s medical skills.”

“Jin Que?” Fu Siyan coldly curled his lips. “How much do you know about him? Shen Qingshu, four years have passed, and you are still just as naive.”

Shen Qingshu thinks he's sick!

What does it matter to him who she trusts?

Shen Qingshu was too lazy to argue with him. "You can leave now. We'll leave each other alone from now on. For the divorce matters, please contact my lawyer."

"It's better if you don't show up in court tomorrow." Fu Siyan looked at her with a half-smile, "So you don't make a wasted trip."

Shen Qingshu's expression changed. "What do you mean by this?"

“I told you, you can’t win this divorce case.” Fu Siyan stared at Shen Qingshu, his eyes deep and unfathomable. “Shen Qingshu, we will not get a divorce.”

His certainty made Shen Qingshu laugh in exasperation.

"Fu Siyan, you don't own the court."

"As a lawyer, I will naturally follow the law." Fu Siyan said calmly, "Shen Qingshu, some things are not as simple as you think. If you want to fight this case, I will accompany you, but the outcome is up to me."

After saying that, Fu Siyan turned and left.

Shen Qingshu stared at his back, her expression solemn.

…

Because of what Fu Siyan said before he left, Shen Qingshu spent a very anxious day.

I tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.

The next day, she called her lawyer and told him what Fu Siyan had said the day before.

After listening, the lawyer said, "The trial started this morning, so there's no point in saying anything now. All we can do is try our best to win it."

"Okay, I'll wait for your message."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingshu got up to wash up and then took Xiao Anning to see Jiang Yuelan.

Jiang Yuelan has been much more stable lately, and she thinks it's time to bring Xiao Anning to see her grandmother.

Jiang Yuelan had given the twins nicknames; one was supposed to be called 'An'an' and the other 'Ningning'.

But her brother died young, so Shen Qingshu gave both words to Xiao Anning.

Upon arriving at the apartment's underground parking garage, Shen Qingshu parked the car and led Xiao Anning into the elevator.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw Jin Que walking out of the apartment across the street.

"Uncle Jin!" Xiao Anning let go of Shen Qingshu's hand and ran straight to Jin Que.

Jin Que was slightly taken aback, then bent down and picked up Xiao Anning.

Xiao Anning asked him, "Uncle Jin, do you live here too?"

"Yes, I live across the street from your maternal grandmother's house."

"Wow!" Xiao Anning exclaimed in surprise, "Then when I come to visit Grandma in the future, can I also stop by to play with you?"

Jin Que smiled gently, "Of course."

Shen Qingshu walked over. "Are you going to work?"

"Hmm, not yet. I came to check on Aunt Jiang first. She was quite upset last night, and I gave her acupuncture before she fell asleep."

Shen Qingshu frowned, "Why didn't you call me?"

“It’s past one in the morning. Aunt Qin wanted to call you, but I told her not to. I can handle it.”

Shen Qingshu was deeply moved and looked at Jin Que solemnly, saying, "Dr. Jin, thank you."

Jin Que smiled faintly, "We don't need to be so polite between us."

Shen Qingshu smiled, turned around, opened the front door, and went inside.

Aunt Qin was making breakfast when she heard the noise and came out of the kitchen.

"You're here!" Aunt Qin's eyes lit up when she saw little Anning in Jin Que's arms. "The little girl is so pretty, she looks just like her mother!"

Shen Qingshu patted Xiao Anning's head and smiled, "Xiao Anning, call her Grandma Qin."

"Hello Grandma Qin, my name is Xiao Anning! Thank you for taking care of my grandma~" The little girl was quick to understand social etiquette.

Aunt Qin was extremely delighted. "Oh my, what a sweet little mouth! And what a round and tender little face! And such a loud little voice! Miss Shen has raised this child so well!"

Shen Qingshu glanced at Jin Que and smiled, "It's all thanks to Dr. Jin."

Jin Que smiled and said, "I was just an assistant; it was mainly Miss Shen who led the way."

Aunt Qin's gaze swept back and forth between Shen Qingshu and Jin Que's faces, and she smiled, "You two have known each other for two or three years now, haven't you?"

Shen Qingshu nodded, "More or less, what's wrong?"

"They're all old friends!" Aunt Qin laughed. "Why are you still so distant? One's Dr. Jin, the other's Miss Shen, it makes me uncomfortable! Miss Shen, you weren't this distant with Teacher Wen back then!"

Shen Qingshu: "..."

Jin Que smiled and said, "I'm just a bit old-fashioned. I'm used to calling you Miss Chen."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu glanced at Jin Que.

She always thought that Jin Que was a man with high emotional and intellectual intelligence, and that he could easily defuse even the most awkward topics.

Just like now.

—

Jiang Yuelan didn't wake up all morning. Jin Que went in to check on her and said there was nothing wrong. She had stayed up almost all night last night, so it was normal for her to sleep a lot during the day.

Around 11 o'clock, the lawyer called.

The lawsuit is over.
