Chapter 293 - Not Interested In The Mistress Position

After managing to close her eyes for a few minutes, Fu ChunHua got of out bed and went to the kitchen to see everyone there working hard to prepare a sumptuous meal for Jia Li.

She walked around to inspect the vegetables and products that was being used and when she found no fault with them, she relaxed and walked away.

Before noon, Grandfather Fu left with the lunch that was prepared for Jia Li which surprised the two women that had put in some efforts to prepare the food.

"Stay here and look after the house." Grandfather Fu had said to them.

Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua were tongue-tied at the old man's instruction. It's not like someone will take over their house if all of them were to leave the house.

The old man gave them a ridiculous excuse just to go alone.

"There is no need ah!" Fu ChunHua exclaimed in frustration as she sat on the couch..

Fu Hee orders some tea to calm her nerves. After making high expectations from her next visit, the old man decided to destroy everything.

"I think it's better this way. We need to prepare dinner for everyone. Our husbands are coming back today and there is a lot to prepare." Fu ChunHua said in a low tone as she massaged her temples.

"I really wanted to go to the hospital after being proud of what I was able to do today." Fu Hee said with a frown. She was talking about how she visited the Bai family to warn them.

"Where did you go to this morning?" Fu ChunHua asked as she fixed her gaze on her.

It was rare for the two women to sit and talk without getting at each other.

"I went to the Bai family." Fu Hee replied.

Just then, a servant came over with a pot of tea and to teacups. After serving them tea, she went away.

"What did you go there to do, did you forget your situation so soon?" Fu ChunHua asked.

"It was because I couldn't forget my predicament that I went there in the first place. I was so pained that I had to go over to warn them." Fu Hee disclosed as she drank from her teacup.

"Has your eyes finally opened after being rejected at the hospital?" Fu ChunHua said as she laughed at her.

Fu Hee glared at her and said, "Don't be so annoying. I didn't tell you this just so you could laugh at me."

"Why do I feel that your going there was in vain? You don't know how much trouble you caused, do you? And your daughter is following in your footsteps and you know what? She is better than you at causing trouble." Fu ChunHua said as she chuckled with a hand over her mouth.

Fu Hee was so angry at being made fun of. She grasped the teacup tightly in her hand with an angry gaze on Fu ChunHua.

Fu ChunHua saw Fu Hee's angry gaze and stopped laughing. "It's good to see you're changing but don't think you can take over the mistress position from me."

Fu Hee rolled her eyes at her. "You can keep it, I am not interested in that position. I don't need it to command respect. I know how to turn the tables again, I just need to act the proper way and I will slowly regain my lost respect and glory. Being the mistress of the Fu family is not all that it is."

"Are you saying you're not interested in this Mistress position? I don't believe you. Who knows if you are acting." Fu ChunHua said with a frown.

"You are not confident enough, you're scared that I will try to snatch this position but you can rest assured that I don't have time for that. I have important matters to settle in my time." Fu Hee said and moved her gaze back to her tea.

Fu ChunHua frowned even more as she picked up her teacup and drank from it. It felt surreal to hear that Fu Hee was not interested in the position that used to be hers.

Things may be better between them if they do not fight for the Mistress position.

'Well, she can't get it anyway when if she wanted it.' Fu ChunHua thought as she drank her tea.

When Grandfather Fu got to the hospital, Jia Li had just had her bath and changed to a new set of clothes. She had Jasmine in her arms when the old man walked in.

"Grandfather!" Jia Li called out in excitement but that caused Jasmine to fidget in her arms. The little girl was scared ????

"Li girl!" The old man called out in a more gentle tone. He had a big smile on his face as he made his way over.

"Grandfather, you're here. It's good to see you again, please come and have a seat." Jia Li said with a smile after comforting her baby.

Mei placed a seat close to Jia Li's bed, so the old man could sit close to Jia Li and see the baby from that angle.

"Aiyoh! This is my great-grandchild." The old man said in an excited tone when he caught a glimpse of the calm gaze from Jasmine.

"Jasmine, your great grandfather is here to see you." Jia Li said to her little girl who yawned in her arms. She looked so cute as she did that.

Grandfather Fu was all smiles as he finally sat on the seat brought to him. He smiles, even more, when the little girl was put in his arms.

The forgotten Butler Lu was luckily remembered, as he was asked to sit on the couch but he refused. He was a servant and how could he sit.

Butler Lu handed the bags that contained Jia Li's lunch to the housekeeper and stood at the side with his gaze on the old man.

Grandfather Fu's attention was on his great-grandchild in his arms. He called out her name, 'Da-Xia' while chatting with her. Jasmine was gazing at the old man who had her in his arms without making any movements.

Jia Li smiled from the side at how obedient her little girl was.

After chatting with the little girl, Grandfather Fu glanced at Jia Li and said with a smile, "Li girl, I brought food for you, eat and regain your strength."

"Thank you, grandfather." Jia Li replied with a smile.

The old man smiled satisfactorily and went back to chatting with the baby. He didn't even notice his grandson's absence as he didn't ask about him.
