Chapter 239 - Don't Try Anything Funny
Fu Hee felt that FangSu has underestimated how much her grandfather loved, cared, doted on, and protected Jia Li, so she advised her with a frightened gaze.
"FangSu, don't try anything bad with Jia Li, your grandfather had changed a lot. He will not mind that you are his favorite grandchild and will not spare you if you do anything to Jia Li. You have to learn from my story, I don't want you to end up like me. I used to hold the Phoenix position in this family but today look how hard I've fallen just because I went against your grandfather to try to harm Jia Li."
The more FangSu listened, the angrier she became. "Mum, are you saying we should leave that woman to continue destroying the peace in our family? Look how shameless she is by looking and acting so innocent!"
"FangSu, I have warned you already, you can't afford to lose favor in the sight of your grandfather, father and brother because of that woman, it's not worth it.. To be on the safe side, you have to stay away from the Bai family, so you won't be influenced by them to commit a rash mistake that you will make to regret just like me! There is no pill for regret." Fu Hee said to her in a worried tone.
"Mum, are you saying that I should stop interacting with the Bai family and even my friend, Bai Jun, all because of the risk of getting into trouble?" FangSu asked as she couldn't believe it with her ears.
Before Fu Hee could respond, she added, "Mum, don't tell me you've stopped talking to Aunty Fen because of this?"
"FangSu, things are as you thought and things are not as easy as you think it is. If I had continued interacting with Bai Fen, I would have been tempted to get into more trouble and the threats your father and grandfather posed on me would come through. Right now, your mother has only her life and you, nothing more." Fu Hee said almost in tears.
FangSu stared at her mother in disbelief. She couldn't believe that her mother had stopped interacting with her good friend for fear of offending her grandfather.
She wondered if Jia Li had much influence on her grandfather for her mother to be so scared to talk to her friend.
"Mum, do you think grandfather likes that woman more than me?" FangSu asked with an annoyed glint.
Fu Hee glanced at her and replied, "I don't know but don't underestimate your grandfather's doting prowess. Jia Li is pregnant with his great-grandchild, so the chances of him prioritizing that woman are very high."
The anger and jealousy FangSu felt, rose to the highest level and her hatred for Jia Li intensified.
FangSu got up from the bed and said with her gaze resting on her mother. "Mum relax, you don't need to care about anything. I will take of the matter."
Fu Hee was so scared that we immediately pulled her hand. "You...you... what do you want to do? Don't try anything funny or your grandfather and brother will deal with you."
FangSu pushed her hands away and said as she has made up her mind, "Mum, don't worry about me. No one is going to blame you for anything. I'm going to sleep, I need to get over my jet lag as soon as possible."
After saying that, FangSu said good night to her before leaving her bedroom. And no matter how many times her mother called for her, she didn't answer.
The next morning, FangSu woke up to a call from Bai Jun.
Hearing her drowsy tone, Bai Jun asked in a soft tone, "Are you still sleeping?"
"Yes, you woke me up." Bai Jun whined as she sat up on the bed with her phone placed on her left ear.
"I'm sorry." Bai Jun apologized.
"It's fine, I am awake now. Why did you call so early?" FangSu replied, not holding any grudge against her.
"I have been disturbed since I learned from my mother that she hasn't spoken to your mother for a long time and your mum blocked her number." Bai Jun said in an urgent tone.
She couldn't sleep properly after her mother came to find her in her bedroom last night to tell her about her relationship with Fu Hee.
Bai Jun was worried that with both women not talking to each other anymore, it may affect her being close to Fu Hua, so she woke up early and was waiting for 7 AM to reach, just so she could call FangSu to talk about it.
"Bai Jun, this is the wrong time to talk about this. I was so angry last night after my mother told me everything she suffered all because of that woman my brother got married to." FangSu reacted angrily when she was reminded of what happened the previous night.
Bai Jun became alarmed and asked about what made FangSu so angry and then, Fu Hee went on to recount the story her mother told her, on how she tried to protect Bai Jun's interest but lost so many things due to it, then the threats and humiliations she suffered.
"What?! Your father really did that? My mother had no idea about it and has been thinking that your mother went back on her words and was deliberately ignoring her." Bai Jun said in shock.
After finding out the truth her mother had no idea about, she was very shocked and pitied Fu Hee for having gone through such situations just for her sake.
But then, she started to become worried as many thoughts began to run through her mind. What if I don't get any chance because of this?
"My mother has suffered a lot in the hands of that woman but that's not the only reason I'm so angry. That woman is pregnant!" FangSu revealed.
Bai Jun thought she didn't hear well and exclaimed, "What?!"
"I was shocked when I saw her protruding stomach and it looks like she has a few months left before she gives birth. I have no idea why my mother hid this from me." FangSu complained bitterly.
Talking about all of these, made her heart pump green blood. She was so angry that she wouldn't mind killing Jia Li if they were to be left alone.
