Chapter 269 - High Possibility

"Mum, I heard brother is back." FangSu said in a scared tone.

"Yes, he is back. What is wrong?" Fu Hee asked casually.

FangSu hesitated a little before asking, "Do you think brother will punish me for what I did?"

"I don't know, just pray he doesn't." Fu Hee replied and looked away from her. She was tired of everything.

"Mum, when can I get my phone back?" FangSu asked with a frown. Grandfather had taken her phone away after apologizing to Jia Li that day.

For a few days now, she has been bored out of her mind.. Her phone was taken from her, her bank accounts were frozen and she couldn't leave the house, she was almost going crazy from the horrible situation she was in.

"Why are you asking me?! Wait till the phone is returned to you. You should be thinking about getting a job and maybe your grandfather will let you leave the house." Fu Hee scolded her.

"How can grandfather seize my phone, he wasn't the one that bought it for me!" FangSu cried out of annoyance.

"Does it matter now? Think about getting a job if you want to leave this house." Fu Hee said to her with a frown.

She was annoyed at being distracted from reading the latest fashion trends on the FJ's Styles magazine.

"But how can I find a job while staying at home, I need to go out!" FangSu complained.

Fu Hee closed the magazine and kept it aside. "You can apply to work in FJ just like Meixu. You don't need to go there, send your application online or get your brother to help you."

"Mum, which of my brothers?" FangSu asked in a low tone. It was said she didn't want anyone to hear her speak.

"Fu Hua. He can directly help you enter since you're his sister. Ah! I just remembered that you offended him, so he can't help you!" Fu Hee said in an annoyed tone and drank from the glass of wine on the table before her.

The mother and daughter pair were enjoying a bottle of wine while sitting and chatting close to the garden.

"Mum, are you making fun of me?" FangSu asked with a frown. Her mother was being sarcastic with her and she didn't like that.

"Why can't I make fun of you? When I warned you about not causing more trouble, did you listen to me?" Fu Hee asked with a haunting gaze.

She was so annoyed with her daughter for ignoring her warnings and getting into trouble again and again.

FangSu felt her heart was suffocating. She was so pained and needed to shout but she held it in. She took a deep breath before saying in a pleading tone...

"Mum, can you help me beg brother to take me in?"

"I'm not helping you. Your brother doesn't listen to me, talk to him yourself." Fu Hee said without a care.

"Mum, you know I can't ask him for a favor, just help me out, just this once." FangSu pleaded.

Fu Hee got to her feet with the magazine in her hand, she was ready to go back into the house. "Do as I instructed first. I'm going back inside the house."

Seeing that her mother was about to leave, FangSu stopped her in an anxious tone. "Mum wait!"

"What is it?" Fu Hee asked as she stopped in her steps.

"Can I make use of your phone to call someone?" FangSu requested in a polite tone.

"Who do you want to call?" Fu Hee inquired with a frown.

FangSu was quiet as she was scared of bringing up Bai Jun's name.

Seeing her quiet she was, Fu Hee guessed who she wanted to speak to and glared at her.

"Are you trying to put me into trouble? You must be crazy!" Fu Hee said and walked away angrily.

FangSu quickly chased after her to continue pleading with her but she didn't comply.

Meanwhile, Bai Jun has been worried sick as she has been unable to reach FangSu.

"Mum, do you think something happened to her?" FangSu asked in a worried tone while pacing back and forth in the living room.

"You have been unable to reach her for more than a week now, forget it, it looks like she has met the same fate as her mother." Bai Fen said as she took a bite from her apple.

"What! ???? are you saying it's likely that FangSu has been punished by her grandfather?" Bai Jun asked in surprise as she walked back to her mother's side.

"There is a high possibility of that happening." Bai Fen replied. She didn't look surprised at the situation, she has experienced that before.

"Mum, if that is so, how can you be so carefree at this point! Who will help me out now?!" Bai Jun asked in a worried tone as she almost shed tears.

"Don't be too bothered, there will always be a plan B. Learn a lesson from this, you don't put all your eggs in one basket." Bai Fen said with her gaze on her.

Bai Jun sat beside her and asked anxiously, "Mum, what's the second plan?"

"You have to get into FJ first, then we can make further plans ourselves without any help from the Fu family but it would be good if FangSu will still be useful." Bai Fen replied.

"I have to get into FJ as soon as possible. I need to get a foothold there before that woman joins, so I can bully her to death!" Bai Jun said in a menacing tone.

"You need to make the perfect CV, go and work on it. If you need help, let me know about it. Remember, we have to be discreet." Bai Fen reminded with a smile.

In the middle of the night, Jia Li woke up and went to the bathroom. She returned a few minutes later and left for the workshop. She got a powerful inspiration while sleeping and she wanted to work on it immediately.

It's been over 20 minutes since Jia Li started working on her inspiration. She felt a little hungry and decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
