Chapter 381 - Do The Right Thing
Fu Hee and Jia Li were happily playing with Jasmine who was playing on the mat with her colorful toys. At times, the little girl would seem confused about which one to pick because she was fascinated by all of them.
"Mum, I"m going to the workshop, I will leave her in your care." Jia Li said as she got up from the mat.
"Go ahead, I will take care of her." Fu Hee said to her with a smile.
Jia Li had no problems leaving as the little bun had all her attention on her toys when she left, so she didn"t see her.
Fu Hee was speaking to the little girl and telling her the colors of her toys when her phone rang. Immediately, the little bun"s attention was on her phone as she left her toys and fixed her gaze on the ringing phone.
Fu Hee picked up her phone from the side and glanced at the screen to see that it was FangSu that was calling.
"Mum what took you so long to answer that call?" FangSu asked immediately. She was expecting her mother to answer the call on the first ring because she almost couldn"t wait to feel what has been happening in the past several hours.
"My phone just rang and I picked it up immediately, why do you sound so impatient?" Fu Hee asked.
"Mum, forget it, I have something important to report to you and you will definitely be shocked when you hear about it." FangSu said in excitement.
Fu Hee became interested in what she wanted to talk about and immediately asked her to go on and tell her about it.
The little bun whose gaze has been on the phone since it started ringing, heard the voice over the phone and immediately became very interested, so she crept to place her little palms on her grandmother"s thighs before trying to stand up.
Fu Hee was so into the conversation with FangSu when she felt the little bun touch her. She glanced at Jasmine with a smile and used one hand to help the little girl up, without knowing that she was coming straight for her phone.
After she was standing comfortably on her grandmother"s thigh, Jasmine reached out for the phone with her hands. Her actions were so funny that Fu Hee chuckled amidst the important matter FangSu was talking about.
Fu Hee moved the phone away from her ear and turned to say to the little bun with a smile, "Do you want the phone now?"
Jasmine glanced at her and back to the phone while fiddling with her hands, before glancing can"t her grandmother and babbled.
"Mum what are you doing? I"m talking about a serious matter here!" FangSu said in a slightly annoyed tone.
Fu Hee put her phone on hands-free mode and replied, "Don"t raise your tone, there is a child here."
FangSu was taken aback as she asked, "Brother"s child is there?"
"Her name is Da Xia but you can call her Jasmine as her mother does." Fu Hee said with a smile.
"Oh! Can I see her?" FangSu asked, forgetting about the matter she called to talk about.
Fu Hee glanced at the little bun who was now sitting obediently in her arms and paying attention to the phone and smiled.
"You can"t see her till you apologize to your brother and his wife."
"Mum, why are you like this, I will apologize to brother and Jia Li soon. I"m looking for the right opportunity to do that." FangSu said in a light tone.
"After you have found the right opportunity to apologize and you"ve actually done that, you can see your niece any time you want. Your brother will also permit you to spend a few days at his place if you want to." Fu Hee said to her.
She hoped her daughter can drop her pride and be courageous to apologize to Fu Hua and Jia Li, so their family can be united once again.
"Mum, you are so unfair!" FangSu said in a childish tone.
"Mind your language, Da Xia is listening, don"t teach my granddaughter the wrong thing. Go ahead with what you were saying, I need to feed her soon." Fu Hee said to her.
FangSu didn"t waste any more time as she told her mother everything that happened in the past 24 hours.
Because of how sensitive the words were, Fu Hee roved her phone from handsfree mode and listened.? Luckily, the little bun became distracted by her toy that was singing, so she no more reached out for the phone again.
After listening to FangSu, Fu Hee said to her, "Have you seen the kind of people Bai Jun and her mother were? It"s good that you came to your senses before you got to the point of no remedy."
"I never knew that Bai Jun would be this bad to me. I thought we were friends but it turns out that she stopped seeing me that way since a long time ago." FangSu said.
"Now, I hope you can do the right thing. I have to feed Da Xia now, it"s time for her to eat." Fu Hee said with her gaze on the little bun whose attention was on the toy she was putting in her mouth.
"Okay, mum, go ahead," FangSu said and ended the call directly.
At noon during lunch, Jia Li and Fu Hua came down for lunch. Fu Hua looked around for Jasmine but was told that she was sleeping, and only then did he put his attention on his food.
Fu Hee joined Jia Li and Fu Hua at the dinner table to eat lunch. There was little or no conversation during dinner.
"Mum, Jia Li and I will be going out this evening." Fu Hua informed.
Fu Hee glanced at them with a smile and asked, "Are you both going on a date?"
Before Fu Hua could reply, Jia Li said, "Mum, we are going out to watch a movie."
"What"s the difference, it"s a date." Fu Hee said and continued eating.
Fu Hua was the first to leave the dinner table after eating.. He got up from his chair and kissed Jia Li"s cheek before walking away.
