Chapter 283 - Fu Hee's Pleas
Fu ChunHua smiled and took the other bag from Fu Hee. She understood that he was only letting her in. But as for his mother, she didn't care what he was going to do to her.
Fu Hua opened the door and let her in. He was going to follow her in when his mother called out to him.
"Fu Hua..." Fu Hee called out in a low tone when she saw that her son had no plans of letting her in.
Inside the room, Jia Li was surprised to see Housekeeper Zu come in instead of the two women that came to visit her.
"What's going on outside?" Jia Li asked with her gaze on the housekeeper..
"Madam it looks like sir is reluctant to let them in." Housekeeper Zu replied in a cautious tone. From Fu Hua's actions, it was obvious he didn't want them to come in.
Jia Li didn't know the reason Fu Hua would stop Fu ChunHua from coming in but as for his mother, she knew the reason very well.
Jia Li sighed and glanced at the baby in her arms who was staring at her with a calm gaze. She just finished eating before Housekeeper Zu stepped in and since then, she has been staring at her mother.
To little Jasmine, she was amazed at being in her mother's arms. She recognized her mother's voice since she was used to hearing her speak to her when she was still in the womb.
Jia Li smiled at her and called out, "Hello, Jasmine."
Housekeeper Zu smiled as she watched the young mother and child. Just then, they heard the door opening which was followed by soft footsteps then they both heard Fu Hee's voice and the sound of the door closing again.
When Fu ChunHua walked in and came to their views, she smiled and congratulated Jia Li as she made her way to her side.
Housekeeper Zu was smart to take the bags from her and set them aside.
"Oh my! She is so cute!" Fu ChunHua said with a sincere gaze when saw the little girl in Jia Li's arms.
"Thank you, Aunty!" Jia Li replied with a smile.
"It looks like I have to start urging Meixu to get married soon and give me a cute grandchild." Fu ChunHua said with a smile and they all laughed over it.
"Aunty, what's going on outside?" Jia Li asked with her gaze on her.
Fu ChunHua sighed and explained, "Fu Hua doesn't want his mother to step into this place. He almost shut me out if I hadn't explained myself properly."
Jia Li frowned and Fu ChunHua sat on the chair beside the bed.
"You should not be surprised. After all your mother-in-law has done to you, Fu Hua's actions are nothing compared to what should be done." Fu ChunHua said to her.
"Aunty, I understand. But it feels bad for her to be turned away. At least, I'm happy that she cares about her grandchild." Jia Li replied with a sigh.
"This girl, you are so innocent. I don't know if your mother-in-law has fully repented but she insisted on following me when she learned that you were in labor all night and has delivered. Father let her come with me." Fu ChunHua revealed.
"That means that Grandfather has forgiven her." Jia Li said with a few thoughts coming to her head.
"Silly girl, that's not necessarily what it means. Father wanted Fu Hua to decide by himself. It wouldn't be easy for Fu Hee to win over the old man again." Fu ChunHua explained.
"Oh..." Jia Li replied and was lost in thought. She glanced over at her baby and then concluded on a matter.
"Mrs. Zu, can you tell my husband to let my mother-in-law in." Jia Li said with her gaze on the housekeeper.
"Yes, Ma'am." The housekeeper replied and immediately walked out.
Fu ChunHua was not too surprised that Jia Li would let her mother-in-law in since she had already shown signs. She thought Jia Li had forgiven Fu Hee but that was not the case.
Jia Li has not forgiven her mother-in-law yet but she didn't want her to be turned down at the door because she understood the feeling of being rejected. She has faced that situation thrice.
She wasn't God or Buddha not to feel hurt and forgive her but she simply didn't want to repay evil with evil, that was not the training she received from her parents while growing up.
Outside the door, Fu Hua turned around to glance at his mother as he closed the door behind him.
He stood there and gazed at her with a cold glance. "What do you want?" He asked in an emotionless tone.
Fu Hee who was still tense gathered her courage and slowly said to him, "Fu Hua, please let me go in and see Jia Li and my grandchild."
Fu Hua thought he had heard the biggest joke from his mother. "Do you have a daughter-in-law? No, I don't think so. So, you obviously don't have a grandchild. I will advise you to go back to the Fu Villa to rest."
Fu Hee knew her son would be sarcastic and may not let her in but she still has to try her best.
"Fu Hua, I know that I have wronged Jia Li. I didn't accept her in the past but the fact still didn't change that she is my daughter-in-law. I'm not here to ask for her to forgive me, I just came to visit with no ill intention." Fu Hee said in a soft tone with a worried gaze on him.
"We don't need you to visit, you can go back. We can survive without your role as a mother, a mother-in-law and a grandmother." Fu Hua replied and turned around to go back inside but Fu Hee quickly grabbed his shirt to stop him.
"Fu Hua, please, let me go in and see Jia Li and your child. I know I have done so many wrongs in the past, I have been rejected by my family because of the path I chose. But this is me trying to repent for my sins. If you don't give me a chance to atone for my sins and make things right, it will break my hope." Fu Hee said with tears in her eyes.
"That's exactly what I want!" Fu Hua said in a heavy tone.
