Chapter 185 - Jia Li Misunderstands...
Fu Hua was in his office tidying up and getting ready to leave for home when he received a call from a foreign number.
His brows creased in a frown as he answered the call. He listened as the person introduced herself.
"I know, my grandfather told me about you." Fu Hua replied with his fingers tapping on the desk.
He listened for a few seconds again before replying, "I will bring her to see you today, thank you!"
After the conversation came to an end, Fu Hua saved the contact on his phone and put his phone back on his desk.
After putting the documents he will need to work with at home in his work bag 💼, he got up from his seat and picked up his windbreaker and put it on, before picking up his phone and work bag from his desk.
Walking through the hallway, he heard a notification sound coming from his phone and flipped it over to check it out.
The message was from an unsaved contact. He opened the message and saw the pictures the person sent and his countenance turned frosty.
When Jia Li got home, she had already stopped crying, but her eyes were still red.
Without saying anything to anyone, she climbed up the stairs and went straight to the bedroom to lie down.
Each time she thought back to Bai Fen's hurtful words, she felt pain in her chest. This was the first time she was encountering such a situation.
She didn't know who Bai Fen was to accuse her of what she didn't do and to embarrass her publicly. Now she didn't know if Bai Fen would spread false news to the Fu family about her.
She only hoped the old man would trust her.
Housekeeper Zu came over to knock on the food. She noticed that Jia Li was not in a good mood when she came back, so she had to come up here to ask her about lunch.
"I'm not hungry." Jia Li said while laying on the bed with a duvet over her body.
The housekeeper was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do. But since Jia Li said she wasn't hungry, she didn't dare to disturb her and went away.
When Fu Hua came back, he saw the food that was served on the dining table and asked the housekeeper who it belonged to.
"Sir, it belongs to Madam. She came back and refused to eat, so I left them here in case she comes down and wants to eat. But it looks like she is not in a good mood." The housekeeper reported.
Fu Hua glanced at the plates of food that were covered one more time before walking away without saying anything.
When he stepped into the bedroom, he saw Jia Li lying on the bed. Their gaze met when she glanced over at him.
Jia Li glanced at him before sitting up. Her eyes were no longer as red as before, since she managed to have a little nap to rest.
When Fu Hua saw her eyes, he guessed that she must have cried and his gaze turned cold. He thought she cried and refused to eat because she parted with the man she went to see.
"Did you go to see your friend?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.
"Yes." Jia Li replied in a soft tone as she adjusted the duvet.
"A male or a female?" Fu Hua asked as he put down his work bag 💼 on the bed.
Jia Li's heart start palpitating when he asked that question. She began to wonder if he heard something. Before she left in the morning, he didn't ask the details of the person she was going to see, so why was he interested in it now?
"A male." Jia Li replied.
Fu Hua removed his windbreaker and took out his phone from his trouser pocket. He unlocked his phone and opened the chat from the unknown contact.
He found the pictures that were sent to him and walked to the side of the bed and passed the phone to Jia Li.
"Is he the one?"
Jia Li slowly stretched her hand out to take the phone from him, as she wondered the reason for his question. But when she saw the pictures of her and Li Huan in a suggestive pose, her heart skipped a beat.
"You... how did you get this picture?" Jia Li asked in shock.
"So I guess he is the one you went to see? Is he your boyfriend?" Fu Hua asked as he took his phone back from her and fixed a serious gaze on her.
Jia Li knew he must have misunderstood something and tried to explain. "Fu Hua, it's not what you think. I'm not cheating on you. Li Huan is my childhood friend he hugged me as a form of greeting. In the other picture, he grabbed my hand as I was about to leave, I didn't do anything wrong!"
As Jia Li was explaining, tears started streaming down her eyes again.
Fu Hua shut his eyes and then opened them again to glance at her.
"It's good that you're still dressed, come with me to the hospital!" Fu Hua said to her with a serious facial expression.
Something broke in Jia Li's heart when he asked her to go to the hospital with him. Her mind flashed back to what Bai Fen said to her.
She remembered Bai Fen saying she was still fooling around with another man despite being married and pregnant.
Jia Li thought Fu Hua didn't trust her and wanted to conduct a DNA test because he must have thought she cheated on him and the child she was carrying didn't belong to him.
"You don't trust me?" Jia Li asked as hot tears continued to stream down her cheeks 😭
"Is this something you should be crying for? Let's go to the hospital right now, I don't have time to waste!" Fu Hua said with a frown. He didn't understand the reason for her outburst.
