Chapter 236 - FangSu's Jealousy
Jia Li at first felt left out, but with Fu Hua there for her she didn't think too much about it.
Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua put food on Jia Li's plate and that made FangSu jealous.
"Grandfather Fu what about me?" FangSu asked while pointing at her plate with a pout.
Grandfather Fu chuckled softly and put some side dishes on her plate and only then did she feel better.
Seeing how her brother was paying so much attention to Jia Li, FangSu couldn't take it. Because she was sitting opposite them, there was no way her eyes wouldn't be on them at every moment.
"Brother, put some food on my plate." FangSu demanded as she touched her plate with her chopsticks 🥢
Jia Li and Fu Hua glanced over at the same time but Jia Li was the first to look away, as she quietly put some food in her mouth.
"Are you a child?" Fu Hua asked.
"She is not a child either." FangSu pointed out and that was enough for everyone to know that she was jealous of the treatment being given to Jia Li.
"She is pregnant with my child, so I have to feed my child." Fu Hua said and looked away from her.
"FangSu, you should eat your food, your grandfather asked the kitchen to prepare your favorites." Fu Hee said as she tried to get her daughter's attention before her thoughts and emotions against Jia Li will be exposed.
FangSu glanced at her mother and got the message, before going on to eat her food quietly.
Fu YingPei picked a side dish with his chopsticks before going to put it on FangSu's plate.
"Eat and stop whining like a child." YingPei said to her before going back to his seat.
FangSu so badly wanted to tell him that she didn't need it but she shut her mouth and continued eating her food.
Fu ChunHua enjoyed the little drama and wished her daughter was around, so it would be easier to expose FangSu's hatred for Jia Li.
Fu ChunHua was aware that Fu Hee was the one that stopped FangSu from complaining but she decided not to stir up the flames 🔥 for today.
After dinner, Grandfather Fu asked Fu ChunHua to send some soup to Jia Li in the bedroom, since it was healthy for her and her child.
FangSu was surprised because that should be her mother's role, assigning tasks to the servants, since when did her Auntie start doing those things?
As FangSu who didn't have the slightest idea that her mother was no longer the mistress of the house was lost in thought, Fu Hua got up and held onto Jia Li's hand, so she could stand up.
The noise from the chair brought FangSu back to her senses. She saw that Fu Hua was about to leave with Jia Li and she got up from her seat and blocked their way.
She faked a smile and said to Fu Hua, "Brother, can I follow you? I have some things to talk to you about."
Before Fu Hua could reply, they all heard grandfather Fu called out to FangSu.
"FangSu, don't disturb your brother and your sister-in-law. Follow me to the study and chat with me."
FangSu was unhappy but she slowly stepped out of the way.
"SuSu, I know you missed your brother, so you can visit him in his house when he leaves tomorrow." Fu Hee said from the side with a smile.
She was giving her daughter another option to be close to her brother.
"With FangSu acting this way, Jia Li and Fu Hua are destined not to have peace when she visits." Fu ChunHua said from the side with a smile.
Fu Hee shot her a glare and replied immediately, "It's normal for SuSu to act this way, as she hasn't seen her brother who she used to be very close to, in years, so it will take a little time for her to adjust to the current situation and besides, Jia Li and Fu Hua has been married for some time now, so what peace is there to disrupt?"
Fu ChunHua chuckled and replied, "Why are you taking my words seriously, I was only joking. How can I stop a sister from visiting her brother? I'm sure FangSu is sensible enough and will not disturb her brother and Sister-in-law, especially now that Jia Li is pregnant."
Fu ChunHua's words were hinting at something obvious.
Grandfather Fu didn't say anything on the matter and asked FangSu to follow him to his study for a chat.
After Grandfather Fu and FangSu left, YingPei and Fu Ling left as well, now, only Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua stayed back.
"What were you trying to do earlier, by stopping FangSu from going to visit her brother?" Fu Hee asked angrily.
"I should be the one asking that question. What are you trying to do by suggesting for FangSu to go visit Fu Hua in his house when you know how much she hates Jia Li? Are you trying to stir up another trouble?" Fu ChuHua asked.
"You are the only one who has negative thoughts! Don't frame me or accuse me of anything." Fu Hee said whilst rolling her eyes at her.
"You are the one who knows if I'm making up things or not." Fu ChunHua said to her.
Fu Hee frowned and said to her angrily, "Mind your business you old Hag!"
"Well, this old hag is the one currently sitting in your position and wearing your crown!" Fu ChunHua said with a taunting smile.
The two of them abused each other with words they knew would hurt the other.
Back at Fu Hua and Jia Li's bedroom, Fu Hua set a bathe for Jia Li before calling her to have a warm bath.
Jia Li's facial expression was done and she had a lot of thoughts going through her mind, coupled with the unsettled feeling in her chest.
After she had her bath and came back to the bedroom, she saw Fu Hua sitting on the couch and decided to voice out her worries....
