Chapter 226 - Your Cousin Is Heartless!
Fu Hua troubled Jia Li till she gave up on eating. She knew she had to leave the dining room, or he won't let her rest, so she excused herself and left. She said she was going to sleep, so they let her leave.
Fu Hua faked a cough before following after his little wife.
When he got to their bedroom, Jia Li was already lying under the covers. Fu Hua smiled and dimmed the light in the room before getting into bed with her.
When he lay down, he tried to hug her, but she hit his hands away.
"Don't touch me, I'm tired." Jia Li said with her back against him.
Fu Hua chuckled softly and hugged her forcibly. "I'm not asking you to do anything. Just lie in my arms and sleep. I have to stop you from eating, because of the doctor's words. I'm only looking out for you."
"If you are looking out for me, why then did you give me your share of snacks?" Jia Li asked in a confused tone.
"You accepted the snacks from grandfather after taking mine when you still had yours, who knew who's own you would have accepted next." Fu Hua said to her.
Jia Li finally understood the reason he distracted her from eating. She stopped throwing tantrums and allowed him to hug her to sleep.
The next morning, the Fu family members, freshened up and came out for breakfast, and at noon, they started the activities they had prepared for the Christmas celebration.
There was a treasure hunt which Fu YingPei won, singing carol sings, plus other fun games. At last, it was time to give gifts and everyone actually prepared a gift from each member of the family.
Jia Li and Fu Hua gave their gifts as one, and try received them as one, and also in singles.
The small family banquet was lively, as they all ate different festive dishes and drank to their satisfaction.
Before going to rest for the night, they opened up the letters that were sent to them from family and friends and read them aloud.
There was a letter from the Bai family, wishing the entire Fu Family a Merry Christmas!
Grandfather Fu asked Butler Lu to get rid of the card for dampening their mood.
After reading all the well wishes notes they got from others, there was nothing to go again than to retire for the light.
Jia Li was very happy because as at last year's Christmas, she couldn't join in the celebration, and When Grandfather Fu called her out, she didn't want to join them, and could only watch them.
Even Fu Hua didn't join them, as it was not his kind of thing. But since he got married to Jia Li, he has been loosening up a bit, and it looks like he's still unaware of it.
The next day in the Bai family, it looked like Bai Fen had a bad sleep last night. She had dark circles under her eyes.
Well, she hasn't been in the best of mood since she saw Jia Li on the news, so it would be a given that she would have sleepless nights.
She was angry and jealous when she saw Jia Li on the news, and how popular she was. She thought that Fu Hee would have a more profound reason to accept Jia Li since she was doing so well.
The thought of ruining Jia Li's reputation came to her mind, but she couldn't. Although she still had those pictures of Jia Li and Li Huan she took at the cafe, she couldn't use them.
The Fu family will immediately find out she was the one that released the photos to the media since they knew she took them.
She was not about to make a foolish mistake blindly, so she deleted ❌ the pictures from her phone ?
Bai Fen spent the rest of her day, thinking about how to make a comeback. At the end of the day, she couldn't think of anything new and decided to patiently wait for her daughter to come home.
A patient dog eats the fattest bone Or so she thought.
Bai Fen was not the only person dissatisfied with Jia Li's sudden media attention and success, Jia Li's Auntie, Mu Keer has been unhappy as well.
Since the day Mu Keer saw Jia Li on the news, her mind had not rested. She kept cursing Jia Li, and she told her children that Jia Li was heartless...
"Your cousin is heartless! She married a big shot, and she is already so popular, but she doesn't care about us."
My Keer's bitterness was too much that she has no peace. She is lazy and doesn't want to work. She only wants to live off other people's hard work and sweat.
Quickly, A few days passed, and Fu Ling was launching his gaming company, just 5 days before New Year. The entire Fu family went to support him.
Grandfather Fu invited some of his friends for the opening ceremony/launching of the new gaming company.
Jia Li didn't come with them because of the mediation attention she was getting. So, to keep her safe, Fu Hua did not allow her to go with them.
It was now at this game launching that Fu ChunHua was feeling proud of herself. Her son was now the CEO of his company, and there was nothing that could make her prouder than this moment.
She forgot she has been against him playing games and trying to develop his. The only thing she can remember now was that her son was doing well.
Many distinguished guests came for the game launching, and for the first time, Fu Ling was seen in a suit. He looked quite handsome and gentlemanly.
Fu ChunHua couldn't stop smiling at the congratulatory messages she got from the women. She was feeling on top of the world.
Fu Meixu was not left out on this, as Fu Ling used her face for promotion. To make things official, they signed a contract and She ran an ad for him.
The Bai family were in attendance, and when Bai Fen tried to greet Fu Hee, the latter did not spare her a glance.. Bai Fen was embarrassed but still faked a smile.
