Chapter 343: Really Put in a Lot of Effort
As for s.h.i.+ Jin, she was definitely not wrong. Fu Xiuyuan was the one who had lied!
“Ask yourself.” Fu Xiuyuan’s tone was still extremely calm.
Fu Heyan was stunned. She immediately understood many things. When her palm was injured, she had been at her most agitated state. The doctor had repeatedly said that she needed to rest, and every time she had seen s.h.i.+ Jin, she felt so angry that her head and stomach would hurt. She hadn’t been able to calm down at all.
However, the person who had healed her hand was s.h.i.+ Jin!
s.h.i.+ Jin had disguised herself in order to prevent her from getting agitated!
After thinking this through, Fu Heyan felt that she had gone overboard. It was clearly s.h.i.+ Jin who had treated her, yet she had still gone to steal Fu Xiuyuan away from her. And now, she was the one trying to interfere with Fu Xiuyuan’s love triangle!
She was so embarra.s.sed that her toes curled. She wanted to disappear…
***
s.h.i.+ Jin was free the next day.
It felt good for her to wake up naturally.
As she ate her breakfast, she opened WeChat.
Fu Heyan sent a voice message. “s.h.i.+ Jin, are you free? Do you want to go home for dinner with Xiuyuan? You can also meet Grandma.”
Fu Heyan was pretending that nothing had happened. As long as she was not embarra.s.sed, the embarra.s.sment wouldn’t catch up with her.
s.h.i.+ Jin thought for a moment and replied, “I can spare some time if Xiuyuan is free.”
“Then ask him.” Fu Heyan decided that it was more convenient for s.h.i.+ Jin to ask.
s.h.i.+ Jin didn’t reject her and asked Fu Xiuyuan if he wanted to go.
After receiving an affirmative reply, s.h.i.+ Jin took a screenshot and sent it to Fu Heyan. She then got up to look for her clothes.
She remembered that she had a terrible relations.h.i.+p with Old Madam Fu, just like her relations.h.i.+p with Fu Heyan.
Now, she had been able to reconcile with Fu Heyan very quickly due to the treatment she had given Fu Heyan before. However, the relations.h.i.+p between her and Old Madam Fu had not reached a stage where they could interact freely.
Thinking about how she had to make up for what she had done in her previous life, she felt a little vexed.
As she was looking for her clothes, Fu Heyan sent her another WeChat message. “s.h.i.+ Jin, I’ve said a lot of good things about you in front of Grandma. Don’t worry too much when you come over tonight.”
“Thank you, Sister,” s.h.i.+ Jin replied.
Fu Heyan looked at the words “thank you” and felt a little guilty.
In reality, she had never put in a good word for s.h.i.+ Jin in front of Grandma. Every time she praised s.h.i.+ Jin, she had not mentioned her actual name, afraid that Grandma would not be able to take it. She had praised Si Jin a few times though.
***
At night, Fu Xiuyuan returned to Lanting Residence to fetch s.h.i.+ Jin.
When s.h.i.+ Jin saw him, she picked up her bag and stood up from the sofa. Fu Xiuyuan’s eyes darkened.
The girl was dressed very simply today. She was wearing a white doll dress that she had never worn before.
Unexpectedly, it really suited her, completely highlighting her innocent side, which was very studious. It was like looking at an excellent prefect.
After getting into the car, s.h.i.+ Jin asked, “I heard your grandma has been suffering from insomnia and strange dreams, right?”
“Yeah, the doctor said it’s a common thing with the elderly,” Fu Xiuyuan said in a low voice.
s.h.i.+ Jin had brought a few bottles of essential oil in her bag as a gift.
In her previous life, she had rarely gone to the Fu Family. After a few times, she had had a few disagreements with Old Madam Fu and had never gone back after that.
When the car stopped at the Fu family’s villa, Fu Heyan walked out quickly to welcome s.h.i.+ Jin. Her actions and att.i.tude were very familiar.
“s.h.i.+ Jin.” She went forward and took s.h.i.+ Jin’s arm, speaking in a familiar tone.
To be able to hold her idol’s arm was something she had never dared to imagine doing before. She had originally planned to deny that she was a fan of s.h.i.+ Jin. However, after the misunderstanding was cleared up that day, she had realized that her little pride was completely useless. There was no point in pretending not to know about her. She might as well just admit it.
She felt great after coming clean!
Fu Heyan regretted discovering the truth so late.
“Let’s go inside.” She pulled s.h.i.+ Jin in.
The younger brother was thrown aside. Fu Heyan was not taking her husband seriously either.
The two men smiled helplessly and followed her in.
Old Madam Fu was sitting in the living room with a head of snow-white silver hair, looking very amiable.
When she saw s.h.i.+ Jin, her gaze dimmed involuntarily. When she thought of the past, she felt unhappy.
If it wasn’t for Fu Heyan’s words, Old Madam Fu wouldn’t have allowed s.h.i.+ Jin to even come back for dinner.
Although s.h.i.+ Jin had been a little more restrained in front of the elders in the past… the way she treated Fu Xiuyuan had long chilled the hearts of the elders.
“Grandma, s.h.i.+ Jin is here!” Fu Heyan smiled and led s.h.i.+ Jin forward.
Old Madam Fu lifted her eyelids and glanced at her indifferently.
“h.e.l.lo, Grandma,” s.h.i.+ Jin greeted.
“Sit down.” Only when the old woman saw Fu Xiuyuan, whom she had not seen for a long time, did she smile.
“Grandma, I’ve already told you that my hand was cured by s.h.i.+ Jin. Take a look and see, there’s no problem at all! You can’t even see a single scar, right?” Fu Heyan extended her slender hands to Old Madam Fu.
Old Madam Fu knew about Fu Heyan’s injury. At that time, she had been overseas. Although she did not rush back, she had looked for many doctors.
She had been extremely worried. Later on, she booked an overnight plane and went to Fu Heyan.
At the thought of this, her expression softened and she asked s.h.i.+ Jin, “Are you living with Fu Xiuyuan now?”
“Yes, Grandma,” s.h.i.+ Jin said with a smile. “Ever since that compet.i.tion, I’ve been living with him.”
Old Madam Fu did not hate s.h.i.+ Jin. Besides, the Fu family had always been on good terms with the Lis. Logically speaking, she should take care of s.h.i.+ Jin. However, when she thought of the past, she felt troubled.
Seeing how obedient she was being and how Fu Xiuyuan was doing, Old Madam Fu had nothing to say.
She asked a few more questions, but s.h.i.+ Jin’s replies were rather sincere and unlike before, Old Madam Fu secretly nodded.
Besides, it had not been easy for her grandson to find a suitable person. She understood his personality too well.
She didn’t say much. s.h.i.+ Jin stood up and took out two bottles of essential oils. She handed them to Old Madam Fu. “Grandma, these are essential oils that can help you sleep better. Put drops of them on your pillow.”
Old Madam Fu let the butler take them and put them in her room.
When Fu Heyan saw this, she smiled and said, “Grandma, I heard that this essential oil was prepared by s.h.i.+ Jin herself. Even Xiuyuan uses them. She really put in a lot of effort to bring you this gift.”
