After Jiang Nan finished speaking, Fu Jingzhou stood still for a few seconds, then suddenly took out a silver key from his pocket.
Jiang Nan froze for a moment, staring blankly at him.
The man lowered his eyelids slightly, staring intently at his wrist. A delicate, small key was inserted into the lock, and with a click, the handcuffs were opened.
"You're so easy to talk to?"
Jiang Nan's wrist suddenly went empty, and she was still a little taken aback.
Fu Jingzhou's lips curved slightly. He raised his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Kounan's head. "I feel you probably won't be going out."
Jiang Nan: "..."
very good.
Stab him in the heart.
That wretched Fu Zhouzhou.
-
On the other side.
After the call was disconnected, Fu Jinchuan's chest heaved with anger. He gritted his teeth and squeezed the phone so hard he almost crushed it.
Jiang Nan...
They actually gave up on him too.
Fu Jinchuan took a deep breath. He thought of the people who came to collect debts today, and he held back for a moment. Then, around midnight, he suddenly got up and went to his bedroom.
The bedroom door was locked from the inside.
Fu Jinchuan took a deep breath, raised his foot, and kicked hard.
The old door was kicked open in an instant.
Shen Anbai, who had been fast asleep, was awakened by the loud noise. He jumped up instantly and looked at Fu Jinchuan, whose face was contorted with rage. "What are you doing?"
He was still a little sleepy when Fu Jinchuan strode over, grabbed Shen Anbai by the neck, and tightened his grip.
Shen Anbai's eyes widened. "You... you're crazy?"
Fu Jinchuan: "Tell me the truth, where's all your money? Buy me a plane ticket and I'll let you go, otherwise we'll both die today."
Shen Anbai's first thought was to refuse his request.
However, Fu Jinchuan's hand kept retracting, and Shen Anbai's face turned somewhat pale.
His mind cleared instantly, and he realized that Fu Jinchuan really wanted to kill him.
Driven by a fierce will to survive, Shen Anbai gripped the bedsheet. His eyes widened, and he gasped for breath, "I... I'll buy it for you..."
Fu Jinchuan loosened his grip slightly, then loosened his tie and used it to tie Shen Anbai's hands. He then picked up Shen Anbai's phone from the bedside table and scanned it against Shen Anbai's face.
Facial recognition was successful. He opened the ticketing app and bought a plane ticket to a foreign country in the early morning.
What is the payment password?
Shen Anbai hesitated for a second, then Fu Jinchuan grabbed his neck with a large hand and threatened, "I advise you to speak up sooner rather than later."
Shen Anbai suddenly regretted it at that moment.
I feel incredibly regretful; I regret ever provoking this person.
If he had been doing well, he would still be that Shining Brightly superstar, loved by millions of fans.
Instead of being like this now, slovenly and gloomy, like a rat in a dark, damp basement.
His eyes were wet with tears.
His neck was throbbing painfully from being choked. Although Shen Anbai wasn't born into a wealthy family, he had been pampered since childhood.
Mother Shen's Father Shen doted on him, never letting him do any work, not even sweeping or washing dishes.
Even though the conditions weren't great, every time he came home he could sleep in a warm, sun-warmed bed and eat home-cooked meals.
Instead of being like this now, eating instant noodles, my whole body all wrinkled up.
The password is 231144.
Fu Jinchuan entered the password and paid.
He put Shen Anbai's phone in his pocket, looked at Shen Anbai and said, "For the sake of our past love, as long as you behave yourself tonight, you can go back to your home tomorrow after I board the plane."
Shen Anbai hasn't gone home these past few days because he feels ashamed and can't save face.
He has now realized that only Father Shen. and Mother Shen treat him the best.
For the first time, he tasted the bitterness of regret, and he was filled with remorse.
It turns out that compared to life, money and face are insignificant.
-
Four o'clock in the morning.
A taxi stopped at the entrance of the international airport.
The man, wearing a wrinkled suit, got out of the car, followed by a person wearing a hat and a mask.
That person was even thinner.
The airport was still brightly lit at four in the morning. Although it wasn't overcrowded, it was still quite crowded.
Some people were holding flowers and waiting for others, some were sitting on benches waiting for their flights, some were wolfing down hamburgers, and there were also some airport staff.
The moment Fu Jinchuan stepped into the airport, bathed in the bright lights, he suddenly straightened his back.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
As long as he is alive and living well, he will eventually make a comeback.
Shen Anbai followed behind him, his former arrogance completely gone, and he walked with his head down.
A hesitant voice suddenly sounded in my ear, " Baibai?"
His voice was hoarse.
Shen Anbai's heart suddenly started racing. He quickly turned his head and saw his Mother Shen wearing a cleaning worker's vest and holding a mop.
She looked older than before, with loose hair and more gray hair.
When their eyes met, Shen Anbai thought for a moment that he was dreaming.
Mother Shen's eyes reddened, and she was about to say something when the person in front of Shen Anbai suddenly turned around, impatiently grabbing her son's arm with such force that Shen Anbai cried out in pain, "Ah!"
Fu Jinchuan: "Hurry up, what are you standing there for?"
The tension in Mother Shen's heart immediately snapped.
What are you doing?!
The weariness on her face faded, and she slapped Fu Jinchuan's hand away, grabbed Shen Anbai, and made him lean against her.
It was like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
Shen Anbai's eyes welled up with tears. Actually, his Mother Shen was a little shorter than him, and compared to the tall and strong Fu Jinchuan, she probably only reached his shoulder.
But she showed no fear whatsoever, glaring at Fu Jinchuan: "Why are you bullying my son?"
Fu Jinchuan was stunned. He looked Mother Shen up and down, his face full of surprise. "You're Shen Anbai's mother?"
"That's right."
"That's what Mother Shen said."
Fu Jinchuan caught a glimpse of her vest, scoffed, and said sarcastically, " Shen Anbai, didn't you say your mother was a white-collar worker? Why is she dressed as a cleaner?"
Shen Anbai's face turned pale instantly.
Mother Shen paused.
Shen Anbai shook his head. "Mom, don't listen to him, he's lying."
Mother Shen did not speak.
She actually knew what kind of person her son was.
But those were her own flesh and blood.
"No matter what, you can't bully my son." Mother Shen gripped Shen Anbai's wrist, her fingers warm. " Baibai, come home with Mommy."
"Good."
Shen Anbai said, her voice trembling with tears.
Fu Jinchuan, however, couldn't stand it.
Why is it that he fled abroad, while Shen Anbai can act as if nothing happened?
He said coldly, " Shen Anbai, you're coming with me."
After he finished speaking, he reached out to grab Shen Anbai.
Mother Shen immediately spread her arms wide in alarm, protecting Shen Anbai.
As the two were shoving each other, two policemen suddenly rushed in.
Fu Jinchuan's expression changed, and he immediately tried to run away.
Most people at the airport were standing or sitting, so his running start immediately caught the attention of the police.
"Don't move!"
The police gave chase quickly.
Fu Jinchuan had no chance of escaping and was eventually subdued and handcuffed.
Police: "We received a tip from the public that you owe a huge amount of money to the bank and are trying to flee abroad. Come back with us now to face legal consequences."
Shen Anbai watched Fu Jinchuan's retreating figure and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
-
Although the chains were removed, Jiang Nan didn't leave the house; she spent her days indulging in a life of debauchery.
It took Jiang Nan half a month for the wound on her head to heal. The day the gauze was completely removed was the same day that Fu Jinchuan was imprisoned.
He owes the bank a large amount of money and will serve ten years in prison.
Even if he gets out of prison ten years later, he won't have a good ending, because he will still owe some high-interest loans. Over ten years, the interest will compound, and the amount he has to pay back in the end will probably be an astronomical figure.
After the nurse removed the gauze, Jiang Nan looked at his wife with utter despair, "Where's the mirror?"
Fu Jingzhou hesitated for a moment. "Do you really want to see it?"
Jiang Nan, with a stern face, said, "Of course!"
Fu Jingzhou paused for a moment, then picked up the mirror from the table and handed it to Jiang Nan.
The mirror was a large, round one. Jiang Nan closed her eyes and looked at herself for a moment, then slowly opened her eyes.
!!!
The little pink-haired boy was immediately stunned.
His hair was in pretty good condition, quite fluffy, and normally it would be frizzy by now. But now, a small patch of hair on the top of his head had been shaved off, leaving a thin scar on his smooth scalp.
Jiang Nan was almost in tears. " Zhouzhou, why have I become bald?"
Faced with this question, President Fu nonchalantly reassured his wife, "It's not a receding hairline; it looks quite good from this angle, setting a new trend."
Jiang Nan asked, half-believing, "Really?"
"Really," Fu Jingzhou said without changing his expression.
Just as Jiang Nan was being coaxed, Shangguan Feng, wearing a white coat and holding a medical record, strode in.
He had just entered the room when he suddenly met Jiang Nan's gaze. Before Jiang Nan could say anything, he burst into laughter. "Hahahaha, Jiang Nan, you can turn left and go play a prince!"
Jiang Nan straightened her lips in a second.
Fu Jingzhou: "..."
He turned to look at Shangguan Feng: "Are you sick?"
The smile on Shangguan Feng's face vanished, "Why are you cursing me?"
Fu Jingzhou: "You deserve it."
Jiang Nan nodded seriously. " Zhouzhou is right, you deserve it."
Shangguan Feng muttered, "Those two bastards, they start targeting me as soon as they make up."
-
Before we knew it, the show " After the Honeymoon Phase " had already reached its finale.
The day before the finale, Jiang Nan received a call from Zhu Xia: "Don't forget, there's a live broadcast tomorrow night at 8 PM."
"You're all dressed up nicely. Should I call a makeup artist for you?"
"No need." Jiang Nan nestled on the sofa, resting his head on his wife's lap, sipping his yogurt as he spoke, "My wife and I are naturally beautiful."
Zhu Xia: "Alright, alright."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Nan sighed and reached out to grab his wife's hand, " Zhouzhou, what should we do? My hair hasn't grown back yet."
Jiang Nan had a bald patch on top, which was quite embarrassing no matter what she did, so she simply shaved it all off and planned to dye it back to pink once it grew back.
His hair had grown several centimeters long by now, and from a distance, it looked like a buzz cut.
Fu Jingzhou quite liked his hairstyle and always liked to touch his head, as his hair was prickly.
"Wear a hat."
Jiang Nan, with a bitter expression, said, "This is the only way."
-
The final episode of " After the Honeymoon Phase " aired at 8 PM the following evening.
At the same time, the live streams of the four couples were also launched.
The moment the broadcast started, Jiang Nan's live stream chat was flooded with comments.
[Grandpa's here! It's been so long!]
[Son, Daddy's here! Long time no see!]
[ Little Immortal Nan, long time no see!]
[ Jiang Kounan, long time no see!]
The live stream screen went black for a second, then suddenly lit up.
It was the familiar living room. The boy sat on the sofa, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, with a pink baseball cap on his head. Several letters were outlined in black on the front of the cap.
He waved at the camera. "Long time no see."
Why are you wearing a hat? Are you trying to distance yourself from your grandfather?
[The hat is terrible; you can't see that little pink hair anymore.]
My son seems to have lost some weight, but I'm not sure if it's just my imagination.
I also feel like I've lost a little weight.
Where's the Heavenly Immortal? Where's the Heavenly Immortal? Why are you all alone?
Jiang Nan saw the comments and replied to them one by one.
I got injured a while ago and shaved my head. I'll wait until it grows back.
"I don't think I've lost much weight. It's just that the temperature has been high these past few days, and I haven't been able to eat much. Also, the clothes I wore when I met everyone last time were thicker than they are now."
" Zhouzhou went to get me some yogurt." After saying that, Jiang Nan heard footsteps, looked up, and when his eyes met his wife's, he grinned, "Thanks, Zhouzhou."
That smile was so sweet, so pure and innocent. The brim of her hat was pulled up slightly, revealing a pair of clear, bright doe eyes, and her crimson lips were slightly curved, revealing a small dimple at the corner of her mouth.
The live stream viewers almost didn't react in time.
[Damn it, is Jiang Kounan forcing me to become a fan of his looks?]
[Okay, okay, my son has another shining moment. Next time any hater says my son is ordinary, I'll throw this screenshot in their face.]
[ Little Immortal Nan, you always tempt me to soften my heart, waaaaaah!]
Fu Jingzhou paused for two seconds, then quickly composed himself and handed the yogurt in his hand to Jiang Nan.
Then I sat down next to him.
The two quietly watched the final episode with the audience.
In the final episode, the group went to an amusement park.
The temperature wasn't very high at the time, and Jiang Nan was wearing a thick coat and fluffy gloves.
He was holding hands with his wife; it was snowing lightly, and the sky was overcast.
Jiang Nan was determined to ride the Ferris wheel. " Zhouzhou, let's go ride the Ferris wheel!"
Fu Jingzhou: "Okay."
The amusement park was still booked out. Jiang Nan specially chose a pink Ferris wheel cabin. After the two went inside, Jiang Nan acted like she had ADHD, looking around here and there.
Look at you, so naive and unsophisticated.
[ Jiang Kounan, young master of Peach Video, what kind of stunt did you pull on me?]
Jiang Nan glanced at the comments and snorted, "What do you bunch of single dogs know?"
[????]
[I was just watching a variety show and I got attacked for it?]
[ Jiang Kounan, considering you had a brain injury recently, I'll reluctantly forgive you.]
[I'm not single.]
[Hey you, get out of here!]
--
It will probably be finished tomorrow. The main story will end, but there are still many, many side stories. Don't be sad, everyone. It's possible that it won't be finished by tomorrow, after all, plans can't keep up with changes.
By the way, could you please give me a five-star review? I lost points again today, sob sob sob.
