Chapter 284 - Fu Hees Agony

"Fu Hua, please don't be like this. I don't want to cause any trouble, I just want to see Jia Li and my grandchild." Fu Hee said with tears in her eyes.

Fu Hua took his hands off her grasp and said to her with a frown. "Do you remember how you treated that innocent girl? Your hatred knew no bounds. Since you and FangSu like the Bai family so much, why not go to them?"

"I have not been in contact with the Bai family for a long time. As for your sister, I warned her about it but she refused to listen to me, I have nothing to do with it." Fu Hee said with all sincerity.

"Do I look like I care? You're are not going in and that's it!" Fu Hua said and turned away but the door opened right before him.

Housekeeper Zu bowed before speaking in a gentle tone with her eyes to the ground, "Sir, Madam asked for you to let your mother in."

Fu Hee quickly wiped her tears and smiled as she found new hope, while a deep frown appeared on his face.

He didn't want his mother anywhere near his wife and daughter but his wife asked him to let her in. He had no choice but to let her in.

"You are not allowed to touch my child." Fu Hua said in a cold tone before walking inside the room.

Housekeeper Zu held the door open for Fu Hee to come in.

When Fu Hua stepped inside the room, Jia Li smiled and said to him, "You're back."

It seemed like Jia Li infected him with her smile because he was all smiles as he walked towards her.

"How are you feeling?" Fu Hua asked with a smile.

"I'm fine. It looks like Jasmine missed you." Jia Li said as she adjusted her baby's positions, so Fu Hua could see her face clearly.

She was doing all if there to get his mind off the annoyance he was probably feeling.

"Let me see." Fu Hua said with a gentle gaze as he peered at his daughter's face. She was gazing at him calmly, before yawning.

"I guess she missed me, let me hold her." Fu Hua said as he took jasmine in his arms.

Fu ChunHua and Fu Hee who just stepped in saw how smoothly Fu Hua took the child in his arms and knew he was really cut out for it.

"Jia Li, congratulations!" Fu Hee said to Jia Li as she managed a smile.

"Thank you, Aunty." Jia Li said as she managed a slight smile.

Housekeeper Zu showed Fu Hee where to sit before serving the two women some drinks.

"Jia Li, I brought pork Vinegar soup and some other dishes for you. You haven't eaten anything yet eat them and get some strength." Fu ChunHua said while Housekeeper Zu unpacked the food she brought with her.

"Thank you, Aunty." Jia Li said with a smile. She has been hungry for a while now and couldn't wait to eat. And now that Jasmine seemed to be eating every hour, she has to be eating as well.

Quickly, Housekeeper Zu served food for Jia Li and Fu Hua.

"Fu Hua, let me hold the child while you eat." Fu ChunHua suggested with a smile.

Fu Hua glanced at the cute little princess in his arms. He didn't want to let another person carry her but he had to. He glanced at Jia Li who was gazing at him with a smile, before going on to give the child to Fu ChunHua.

Fu ChunHua carried the child in her arms, before carefully going to the sofa to sit. She didn't sit close to Fu Hee and let her feel the pains of not being able to hold her grandchild.

Housekeeper Zu served Jia Li's food on the bed and Fu Hua moved closer, so he could eat with her.

Jasmine was very obedient in Fu ChunHua's arms and fell asleep real quick after yawning for a while.

Fu Hua kept putting food on Jia Li's plate while eating. There was silence from their side, apart from ChunHua that was talking to their daughter before she fell asleep.

Fu Hee understood what pain and jealousy were when she saw her grandchild in Fu ChunHua's arms. Another person could hold her grandchild but she couldn't. What an irony of life.

After Jia Li and Fu Hua had finished eating, Housekeeper Zu took their plates away. The other servant, Mei, walked in with some clothes in hand. She greeted the two women from the Fu family, before walking towards the closet. She had just come back from doing the laundry.

Before Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua left, the former took out a thick envelope from her bag and handed it to Jia Li.

"I was in a hurry to come over, hence I didn't have time to prepare anything. This is a little gift for the child. Take care of her and yourself. I will come over before you are discharged."

"Thank you, Aunty." Jia Li said with a smile and took the envelope from her before Fu Hua could stop her from taking it.

"No need to thank me!" Fu Hee said with a satisfied smile. She was happy that Jia Li accepted her gift.

"Jia Li, I will bring a gift next time when I'll be coming. I've been in the kitchen all day and didn't remember to prepare anything." Fu ChunHua said with a smiling gaze.

"Aunty, I don't mind. You stayed up late cooking for me, you should get some rest." Jia Li said with gratitude.

"Thank you, I will be leaving now." Fu ChunHua said and waved goodbye to her before leaving with Fu Hee.

"You shouldn't have been so welcoming to her." Fu Hua said with a frown.

Jia Li understood who he was talking about and said, "I was worried I was being rude to her."

"There is no need to worry, you treated her quite kindly much to my annoyance. Next time, don't pay attention to her. I only let her in because you asked me to." Fu Hua said in a gentle tone.
