Chapter 714: Are You Silly?

Some people did not know that they were suffering from depression, and some people were seriously depressed and always wanted to die. Fang Pingjue stayed in that luxurious but lonely house all day. All his time was used to daydream and let his thoughts run wild. People who did not have depression would also suffer from depression.

Even if the doctor could save him this time, what about the next time?

Chi Baoguang patted Fang Yu’an’s shoulder and said as an elder, “If you have time in the future, you should go back and see him more. After all, you and Yuqing are his only children.”

Fang Yu’an understood this.

“We will.”

He added, “I’ll call Qingqing.”

Fang Yuqing was about to graduate from university and would be returning to the country soon. When Fang Yu’an called, it was afternoon on her side. Fang Yuqing was having dinner when she received a call. She was having a meal in the dining room with her friend. After putting down her knife and fork, Fang Yuqing picked up the phone and called out, “Brother.”

Fang Yu’an lowered his voice and asked her, “What are you doing? Are you eating?”

“You guessed right.” After Fang Yuqing said that, she realized something and asked, “Why aren’t you sleeping so late? Are you working or playing?”

She heard Fang Yu’an reply, “Dad is dying.”

Fang Yuqing was stunned.

All these years, Fang Yuqing would only call that person during important holidays. When she suddenly heard this news, other than her mind being empty, Fang Yuqing did not know how to react.

She was neither surprised nor afraid. She felt more disappointed.

The person who used to love to put on airs was actually about to die.

In a few seconds, many things flashed across Fang Yuqing’s mind. Fang Yu’an did not disturb her. When Fang Yuqing regained her senses, she asked, “What happened?”

“Suicide. Suicide by swallowing pills.”

Fang Yuqing was stunned again.

Someone as strong and ruthless as her father would actually have this day.

Fang Yuqing suppressed her stuffy heart and asked him, “How’s the situation now?”

“He was sent to the hospital to have his stomach pumped. He hasn’t woken up yet.” After a pause, Fang Yu’an asked her, “Are you coming back?”

“Why would I go back?”

“Look at him. Perhaps this is the last… look.”

Fang Yuqing was silent for a long time. She did not say that she would go back, nor did she say that she would not go back. She only asked Fang Yu’an, “Brother, do you think he will need me to go back?”

Fang Yu’an said, “Yes. No matter what, you’re his child after all. I believe that Father loves you too.”

Fang Yuqing replied sarcastically, “He loved me so much that he wanted me to marry that kind of person.”

Hearing the sarcasm in Fang Yuqing’s words, Fang Yu’an did not say anything.

He was not involved in Fang Yuqing’s matter and was not qualified to ask for her forgiveness.

“Alright, I’ll be back.” Fang Yuqing’s heart was made of flesh after all. It was good to go back and take a look, lest she regretted it in the future.

Hearing her words, Fang Yu’an heaved a sigh of relief.

He also hoped that Fang Yuqing would come back. If his father really died, it would be one less regret to see Fang Yuqing before he died. Fang Yu’an hung up the phone and walked into the ward. A few of them were sitting or standing inside.

Xu Pingfei had been filming day and night for the past few days and was especially tired. She leaned against the bed and fell asleep.

Fang Yu’an put a shirt on his mother before saying to Fang Pingjun and Chi Baoguang, “Uncles, you can go back tonight. If anything happens, I’ll call you again.” They were both old people, so staying up late was not good for their health.

The brothers looked at Fang Pingjue on the bed. His breathing was long and steady, and he was still unconscious. He did not look like someone who would wake up immediately. It was a good thing that he did not wake up. At least, he would not have the chance to try to commit suicide again.

“Alright, you must tell us if anything happens. We’ll come back tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

After sending Chi Baoguang and Fang Pingjun off, Fang Yu’an lay on the small sofa and closed his eyes for a while. After dawn, seeing that his father was still unconscious, Fang Yu’an took his change and car keys and went out to buy breakfast. Only Fang Pingjue and Xu Pingfei were left in the room.

After an unknown period of time, Xu Pingfei suddenly felt someone touching her head. She was about to wake up, but she did not, thinking that it was an illusion. However, the touching action was always there. Xu Pingfei finally looked up. She suddenly woke up, and the person lying on the bed did not have time to retract his hand.

Realizing that Fang Pingjue was secretly touching her just now, Xu Pingfei’s mood was a little complicated.

Fang Pingjue looked at her and did not speak, but his eyes were a little moist and filled with grievance. Xu Pingfei was a soft-hearted person. She had been stubborn for once in her life, and it was about the divorce. At this moment, when she saw Fang Pingjue’s expression that looked like he was about to cry, a sour feeling spread in her chest and she almost cried.

She finally could not help but scold Fang Pingjue, “Are you stupid! How can you swallow sleeping pills! If you’re so capable, why don’t you just stab yourself in the heart? You can die faster! Why torture us like this!”

Xu Pingfei cursed, but towards the end, she sobbed.

Fang Pingjue stared at Xu Pingfei’s tear-stained face.

After the divorce, Xu Pingfei’s days became more and more exciting. At the age of 60, she was dressed especially fashionably. She wore a white shirt with high waisted wide legs pants. There was not a single strand of white hair in her long black hair. She looked even better in person than on the screen. Realizing that Xu Pingfei had really obtained a new life, Fang Pingjue’s mood was also very complicated.

She really liked filming…

Fang Pingjue opened his mouth to speak. “You…” The moment he opened his mouth, he was stunned when he heard that hoarse voice.

“What about me!”

Xu Pingfei shouted at him fiercely, but she turned around to pour him water.

Fang Pingjue’s gaze chased after her figure and he asked, “How long have you been here?”

“Since last night.” After feeding Fang Pingjue a mouthful of water, Xu Pingfei sat on the stool angrily and scolded him. “Aren’t you going to die? Why are you still concerned about these things?”

When Xu Pingfei spoke now, four of her five sentences were sarcastic.

Fang Pingjue had not seen Xu Pingfei in person for a long time, but he had seen her on television many times because he would always search for what she had filmed. Even if it was just an advertisement, he would still watch it many times. Now that he saw her chattering non-stop in front of him, Fang Pingjue almost burst into tears when he heard her.

Xu Pingfei was still talking, and Fang Pingjue’s ears were buzzing so much that he could barely hear clearly. He suddenly said, “It’s been a long time since you’ve disturbed me like a housekeeper.”

Xu Pingfei was stunned.

She tilted her head to look at Fang Pingjue and realized that his gaze was dazed, as if he was reminiscing about the past. Xu Pingfei felt quite upset. She sat down on the stool and said, “Old Fang, we’re already divorced. I naturally have no obligation to care about you anymore.”
