Chapter 233 - You Mean That Proud Peacock Is Back?
Just like Grandfather instructed, Fu Hee, didn't go to disturb FangSu as she allowed her daughter to freshen up and get some rest first.
FangSu had just come out from the shower when she met a servant placing a plate of sandwiches 🥪 some fruits and a glass of juice.
"Miss, please manage this for now while the kitchen prepares food for you." The servant said as she bowed to FangSu.
"You can leave." FangSu said to her as she went to sit on the couch placed in her room.
After the servant left, she picked up her phone and saw that she missed a call from Bai Jun and she called back immediately with a smile.
At the first ring, Bai Jun answered the call and her happy voice was heard, "SuSu, are you home now?"
"Yes, I'm back! I just freshened up and I want to hit the bed right away cause I'm tired." FangSu replied happily.
"I just managed to escape from my mother and as if that was enough, my grandmother came over and wouldn't let me go." Bai Jun said over the phone.
"It's the same over here. My mother and Grandfather held me back. My grandfather ordered me to get some rest and for my mother to give me time." FangSu revealed.
"That's good, how is Aunty?" Bai Jun asked with a smile.
"She is fine. She looked so happy to see me and she seemed a little sad. Bai Jun, let's talk later, I've got to eat." FangSu said with her gaze on the food.
"You really can't wait to eat." Bai Jun said as she chuckled softly.
"My mother complained that I was too slim, so I've got to eat properly." FangSu said as she chuckled.
"This is an excuse to eat your hearts away after starving for the Fashion Week Show. Alright, I will let you get some rest...talk to you later, bye..." Bai Jun said.
"Bye." FangSu said and ended the call after that.
Fu Hua was still in his office when he got a call from his mother, telling him of his sister's return.
"When did she come back?" Fu Hua asked as his countenance lightened.
"She arrived some minutes ago and she didn't tell any of us about her coming back." Fu Hee complained but if you listen carefully to her tone, you will find out that she was elated.
"I guess she wanted to surprise us." Fu Hua said she tapped his fingers on his desk.
"That's the same thing she said. Your Grandfather asked me to call you over for dinner to welcome your sister back home after a long time." Fu Hee revealed happily.
"I have a lot of work to do, so I can't see her today." Fu Hua said in a calm tone.
"You have to try and come home, that's your grandfather's instruction." Fu Hee said as she mentioned the old man.
"Did he ask me to come back alone?" Fu Hua asked after a moment of silence.
When his mother mentioned the old man's instruction, she didn't include him bringing Jia Li back with him, she only kept mentioning for him to come back home, so he wanted to know what she was up to.
Fu Hee knew that her son was testing her, so she immediately said, "How can you come back alone, of course, you have to come back with Jia Li. Don't come late, I have to help out with the preparations, bye."
After the call ended Fu Hua put his phone back on his desk and continued looking for some information from his laptop. He was currently making investigations on the latest trending clothing styles.
Fu ChunHua who just came back to the house heard the news of Fu FangSu's return and didn't know is to feel happy about it or be annoyed.
Fu ChunHua went to meet Fu Hee and asked, "I heard FangSu is back, how come she didn't tell anyone about it?"
"Does she need anybody's permission to come back to her home?" Fu Hee asked and sneered after that.
Fu ChunHua was not offended by her words and instead, said to her with a smile, "It looks like you have regained your vigor, as you're now acting out of place but I have to remind you to be careful. Don't get too excited and make another mistake that will send you packing back to the Fang family."
Fu Hee was annoyed as she watched Fu ChunHua walk away. Being reminded of her past misfortune was enough to get riled up.
After Fu ChunHua left, she got the message from Butler Lu to ask Fu Meixu and Fu Ling to come home for dinner to celebrate FangSu's return, as instructed by the old man.
Fu Ling had no problem with it and said he would be home on time but Fu Meixu had a big problem with it.
"Mum, you mean that proud peacock is back?" Fu Meixu asked in an angry tone. She couldn't help being angry after receiving such bad news.
"Yes, she is back. I came back home some minutes ago and heard of it from one of the servants." Fu ChunHua said with a sigh.
"Mum, I'm not coming back, tell grandfather that I'm still filming." Fu Meixu said and ended the call directly. She was already seething in rage now. This was not good news to her in any way.
She would never agree to go for that welcome party and watch FangSu act like a queen and outshine her, she refused to be tortured.
Fu ChunHua sighed tiredly. She has always known that her daughter and FangSu didn't see eye to eye so she understood her dilemma. Now she had to cover up for her by lying.
Fu ChunHua met Butler Lu and told him about it and he nodded and went to report to the old man.
"Let her be." Grandfather Fu said as he continued with his work.. Nobody knew if he had an idea that Fu Meixu lied and was avoiding FangSu or that he didn't just want to bother about it.
