Chapter 243 - Fu Hua Comes Back
Without waiting for Jia Li"s permission or opinion, FangSu linked arms with Bai Jun and started touring the house.
Jia Li was angry and felt disrespected by FangSu"s disregard for her presence and the fact that she was his brother"s wife.
The housekeeper frowned upon FangSu"s action and immediately called out to Jia Li in a calm manner after she heard FangSu and Bai Jun laughing and chatting happily.
"Madam?" The housekeeper called out in a low worried tone with her gaze on Jia Li.
Jia Li did not respond, as she was trying to contain her anger while squeezing her fists that were on her thighs.
Jia Li was very angry and thought about confronting FangSu but she couldn"t do that. She was Fu Hua"s sister, so she had to wait for Fu Hua to come back to deal with her.
The housekeeper knew her Madam was not in a good mood, so she stopped calling for her and decided to take care of things herself, as it wouldn"t be right for the mistress to be disrespected in her house.
FangSu and Bai Jun were chatting happily and laughing as well.
"SuSu, your brother"s house is beautiful and has a homey feel to it." Bai Jun said with a smile as her eyes shone brightly. In fact, she was happy with the way FangSu treated Jia Li and hailed her in her mind.
"Anyone will like it, after all my brother has a good taste." FangSu said as she smiled proudly.
The housekeeper was in time to see FangSu and Bai Jun about to use the stairs and immediately went ahead of them to block their paths.
"I"m sorry Miss but you can"t go upstairs, please go back to your seats." The housekeeper said to them in a polite but firm tone.
FangSu scoffed and asked while Bai Jun"s face turned annoyed with the sudden reaction from a servant, "Did she send you to order us around?"
"Madam did not say anything to me, I am only doing my duties by not letting strangers walk around the house." The housekeeper said to them as she met their angry gazes. She was not fazed by the looks on their faces, as she was just doing her job.
"Who do you think you are, a mere servant to order me around? Do you know who I am? I am the sister to your master!" FangSu said angrily as she made her ident.i.ty known.
The servant pretend she didn"t understand her words and insisted on them to return to the living room.
"Miss, I am the housekeeper appointed by the old master to serve the young master and the young mistress. I don"t listen to anyone apart from them, so please return to the living room."
FangSu was so mad that she wanted to scream at her but Bai Jun stooped her in time.
"SuSu, let"s go back, it"s not right to create a scene. We can have a look another time."
The housekeeper glanced at Bai Jun for her shameless acts and looked away.
Jia Li who was sitting on the sofa in the living room heard the commotion from over there and tears dropped from her eyes and stained her cheeks.
She felt that this was the worst treatment she could ever receive from anyone. She didn"t like the feeling of being treated like a n.o.body in her husband"s house but she couldn"t react either. Simply because the person who offended her was her husband"s sister.
Jia Li felt her chest hurt. She brought her fingers to her face to wipe her tears and just then, she heard steady light footsteps approach the living room from the entrance.
She guessed who it was but she didn"t turn around, as her emotions were in turmoil.
Fu Hua walked into the living room with his work bag ???? and saw his wife sitting on the sofa with her gaze elsewhere.
He could only see her side profile, so he didn"t know she has been crying. He thought she was lost in thought and didn"t hear his footsteps, so he went to her side and lowered her face to kiss her cheeks.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked as he kissed her cheeks but his smiling gaze disappeared when he tasted the salty tears and her ignoring him.
His gaze became worried as he immediately turned her face to glance at him. When he saw the tears br.i.m.m.i.n.g in her eyes and her tear-stained cheek, he felt something stab his chest.
"Beautiful, why are you crying? What happened?" Fu Hua asked as he wiped her tears with the back of his hands with a worried gaze.
Jia Li felt his manly scent a.s.sault her nostrils, so she tried to push him away but failed, so she left him and sniffed. She didn"t want to say a word to him or she would burst out in tears the next second.
Before Fu Hua could go on to ask her more questions, he heard several steps approaching them and heard the familiar voice of his sister.
"Brother, you are back?!" FangSu said out of excitement as she immediately hurried towards Fu Hua.
Fu Hua slowly let go of Jia Li"s shoulder as he slowly looked up to see his sister, the housekeeper who had a straight look and then an unfamiliar young female.
His brows furrowed in a deep frown, especially when he saw the unfamiliar female in his house. He guessed that FangSu brought her with her and asked with a frown, "Who is she?"
Bai Jun who felt her cheeks redden when Fu Hua glanced at her suddenly turned disappointed when she heard his question.
"Brother, don"t tell me you don"t remember who she is?" FangSu asked in surprise.
"I don"t care who she is, why would you bring a stranger into my house without my permission and where are the both of you coming from just now?" Fu Hua asked as his gaze scared the two young ladies.
Jia Li tried to get up from the sofa and Fu Hua tried to help her but she pushed his hands away and helped herself up then she turned to walk away without saying anything.
"Jia Li..." Fu Hua called out to her but she didn"t react and continued walking away without looking back.
Fu Hua was worried about her and asked the housekeeper to follow her.
When Jia Li walked past FangSu and Bai Jun, they saw that her eyes were red and her cheeks were stained in tears and they could already smell trouble.
"FangSu, why is Jia Li unhappy, what did you do to her?" Fu Hua asked in a fierce tone after the housekeeper took Jia Li away.
