Chapter 359 - The Reason She Was So Confident
After more than 24 hours of creating a dress, Jia Li was finally back at the house.
Jasmine was asleep when she returned, so she went to her nursery to see her. Seeing how the little girl was sleeping so soundly, Jia Li"s heart melted.
"Da Xia missed you. She kept looking out for you throughout yesterday." Fu Hee said to Jia Li with a smile.
"I didn"t know she loved me as much as she loves her father." Jia Li said with a smile as she caressed the little girl"s face. She said that because the little bun liked her father"s company more.
"Silly girl! Which child will hate the mother that loves and cares for her? Go and freshen up and rest, I will send food to your room." Fu Hee said with a pat on her shoulder.
"Mum, thank you!." Jia Li said as she turned towards Fu Hee"s direction with a grateful smile.
"What is there to thank me for? I should be the one thanking you for giving me this golden opportunity to look after my granddaughter. Hurry up and freshen up, you have dark circles under your eyes." Fu Hee said in a kind tone as she pulled her by the hand to leave the room.
"After taking a rest, you have to give me the details of the test." Fu Hee said with a smile.
"Okay, mum." Jia Li said before finding her way to her bedroom to freshen up and rest.
After showering, Jia Li felt a little relieved, and when she walked into the room, she saw her mother-in-law serving her a bowl of soup and some side dishes.
When Fu Hee glanced over and saw her, she smiled and beckoned on her to hurry up and eat.
"The soup is still hot, you will enjoy it if you eat it right away. After eating, someone will come to take the plates away. Don"t think about anything and get some rest." Fu Hee said to her.
Finally being left alone, Jia Li began to eat. She hasn"t slept much and was exhausted because she worked all through the night to create a masterpiece.
After eating, Jia Li"s head hit the pillow, and she dozed off seconds later.
When Bai Jun got back home, her mother quickly went to meet her at the entrance.
"How was the test? I got your text late, and when I tried calling you, your line wasn"t reachable." Bai Fen said in a worried tone.
"The test was fine, we will get the results later today, or tomorrow morning. I turned off my phone and submitted it after sending the text to you." Bai Jun replied in a tired voice.
Sunny had given some of them a minute to text their families before taking their phones from them, after announcing the instructions from Fu Hua.
Bai Jun had texted her mother, asking her to cover up for her at home, since the contest was a surprise.
In the evening, when Old lady Bai asked about Bai Jun after not seeing her for long hours, Bai Fen lied and said she went job hunting with a friend and decided to sleepover at her friend"s place.
"How can my granddaughter go for job hunting, when I would have easily made a call to get a job for her?." The old lady had asked with a frown, and this was Bai Fen"s reply...
"Mother, allow Bai Jun to do things for herself, that way, she would grow and learn the ways of the world."
"How was the test, what did they ask you to do?." Bai Fen inquired with a worried gaze. She was afraid that her daughter wasn"t given enough time to prepare for the test.
Bai Jun explained everything to her and asked her not to worry. Since her daughter sounded so confident, Bai Fen felt rest a.s.sured.
"Which dress did you make?." Bai Fen asked curiously.
"The same dress that gave me an award." Bai Jun replied with a smug look.
The reason she was so confident, was because she could make that dress without troubles, as she suffered a lot while creating it, and the little help she got back then, was stuck to her head, so Fu Hua"s test, favored her.
Bai Fen felt really proud of her daughter and ushered her into the house so she could freshen up and have some tea.
Jia Li slept deeply that even after Fu Hua came back, she was still asleep.
Jasmine was awake and was crying when Fu Hua came back home. Fu Hee was trying her best to console the little one, but it wasn"t possible, as Jasmine was looking for someone.
Fu Hua had a worried look as he quickly walked towards his mother and his crying child.
"Mum, why is she crying? Has she eaten?." Fu Hua asked as he dropped his jacket and his work bag on the sofa, before stretching his hands to take his crying daughter in his arms.
"She refused to eat, she misses her mother, but I can"t take her to the room, because Jia Li is still sleeping." Fu Hee replied.
Jasmine reduced her wailing to a sob. Her tender cheeks were stained with tears as she laid her head on her father"s chest. The little one looked really pitiable now.
"How long has Jia Li been sleeping for?." Fu Hua asked as he wiped Jasmine"s tears with her face towel.
"It"s been over 3 hours now. I guess she must be really exhausted from the contest." Fu Hee said with a sigh. She really felt for the mother and daughter.
"Mum, I will take Jasmine upstairs, please ask the servant to bring some snacks upstairs for my wife." Fu Hua said before walking away with Jasmine.
Fu Hee sighed as she watched the father and daughter walk away. She informed housekeeper Zu to prepare some light snacks for Jia Li.
Jia Li was still sleeping soundly when Fu Hua entered the room with the sobbing little girl. Fu Hua walked straight to the bed and put the little girl down.
Jasmine immediately reached out to grab Jia Li"s dress while sobbing, while Fu Hua whispered to Jia Li, "Sweetheart, wake up!."
