Chapter 248 - The Content Of Her Text
After dinner, FangSu followed her grandfather and apologized along the way. She promised to turn over a new leaf and asked for a second chance.
"What do you need a second chance for? You want an opportunity to go back to your brother's house to cause trouble?" Grandfather Fu asked with a frown.
The expression on FangSu's face froze, as she wasn't expecting her old man to misunderstand her and this was the kind that could get her into more trouble. She immediately clarified the issue and only seeks only for his forgiveness for her wrongdoing.
Grandfather Fu glanced at her and walked away without saying anything.
FangSu was angry at being ignored but there was nothing she could do. Right when she was about to leave for her bedroom, she heard Fu Meixu's taunting voice from behind.
"It just took you 3 days to fall out of favor after returning and being welcomed in a grand style, you're really something you know." Fu Meixu with a smile she couldn't even hide, much to FangSu's displeasure..
"You better watch your mouth, I'm still of more value than your little dumb ass." FangSu said to her in anger.
"My little dumb ass?" Fu Meixu asked with a smile and she turned around and caressed her butt before fixing her gaze on her.
FangSu was annoyed with her and was about to scold her when she heard her say, "Your over-confidence will take you down one day."
Fu Meixu left after saying that. FangSu was fuming mad by the time she got to her bedroom. This should be the first time Fu Meixu was actually winning her with words and she found it very annoying.
After breakfast and before YingPei left for work, FangSu handed over the present she got for Fu Hua.
"Brother, please help me give this over to big brother." FangSu said to YingPei.
"If you want to give him something, why don't you do it yourself? Why are you sending me?" Fu YingPei asked with a frown.
FangSu replied with a flat look, "I offended big brother the other day and he banned me from visiting, so I have to trouble you to apologize on my behalf."
Fu YingPei didn't know the crime his little sister committed but he agreed to apologize on her behalf and left with the gift.
Fu Meixu learned from Butler Lu that her grandfather liked her painting after she asked about it. She was elated and immediately went to her bedroom to text Shi Qiao.
The content of her text, read... 'My grandfather liked the painting, thanks to your guidance. I will repay you soon.'
Shi Qiao returned her text with... 'I'm glad he liked it. I'll be waiting for our lunch date, take care.'
Fu Meixu smiled after she got his response. A thought crossed her mind, so she decided to Jia Li.
"Jia Li how are you doing?" Fu Meixu asked over the phone.
Jia Li, who was taking the stairs down to the living room, replied, "I'm fine and you? Have you wrapped up with filming?"
"Yes. I wanted to ask if I can come over to your place to at least keep you company before my cousin returns?" Fu Meixu asked.
"I don't think it would work as I'm about to leave for Ocean's appointment with the vet." Jia Li replied. She didn't know the reason Fu Meixu wanted to come over but she didn't think anything wrong about it because she has always maintained a simple relationship with her. But it's too late as she was already dressed and ready to leave the house with Ocean.
"Is Ocean sick or something?" Fu Meixu inquired.
"Not really." Jia Li replied.
"Okay, send me the address, I will meet you and Ocean there. When you're through there, we can have lunch outside." Fu Meixu said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you!" Jia Li said. A smile lingered on her face as she went outside to find Ocean. She was happy because she gets to escape having the fixed lunch on the timetable.
Jia Li left the house with Ocean, one of her closest servant that has been serving her since the first time she came to stay with the Fu family and then two of the soldiers.
Ocean got to sit in the same car with Jia Li and she relaxed on Jia Li's thighs while she rubbed her happily.
After the call with Jia Li, Fu Meixu went to get dressed before leaving the house.
FangSu saw Fu Meixu leaving the house and got jealous. She too wanted to visit some places but her mother did not allow her.
Fu Hee asked her not to leave the house to put in more effort with trying to win over the old man's favor again. And another reason was that her father was coming back later that day, so she couldn't leave no matter what.
FangSu felt terrible about staying at home as she wasn't used to it. She has always been used to her busy schedule as a model and sometimes when she got free time, she used it to shop or go to the beach to relax, so she wasn't happy with being asked to stay home.
FangSu tried to please her old man but she was eventually sent out of his study for disturbing his peace.
FangSu grudgingly went back to her bedroom to wallow in her sorrows. She never knew her grandfather was this difficult to please.
When Jia Li got to the vet house, a nurse took ocean inside the lab to conduct a test.
Jia Li sat on the padded seat💺 especially arranged for her and waited impatiently for Ocean to be brought back to her.
Fu Meixu arrived some minutes later and sat on the bench which was beside the place Jia Li was sitting. She was surprised to see that Jia Li's baby bump had grown more since the last time she saw it, which was about 2 months ago.
"How long gone are you?" Fu Meixu asked with a smile.
"6 months." Jia Li replied with a loving gaze. She felt proud anytime she was being reminded of the little life she is carrying inside of her.
"That's good. Very soon, I will be able to show off my little nephew or niece. What about Ocean, what did the doctor say?" Fu Meixu asked with an inquisitive gaze.
She was still very much scared of Ocean but she wanted to show that she cared.
