"Dad, could you please talk less?" Fu Zeming's tone turned cold.
He rarely got angry with his family members, especially his parents and wife. But this time, the old man had gone too far.
The stubborn old man knew he had said something wrong, but he was too proud to apologize. He just walked over to the dining table and sat down next to his wife, muttering something under his breath.
The farce seemed to end peacefully. Well, if you could ignore the elderly couple's petty complaints.
While having dinner, Xia Sanghuan kept a close eye on the two elders of the Fu family. The old man probably had a problem with his lumbar spine, as he was always hunched over. And the old lady probably had a respiratory inflammation, as the dishes she ate were almost as bland as boiled tofu.
As for Fu Kai, his leg was still the same as before. After all, the technique she used was learned from her master. It could be said that apart from her and her master, hardly anyone else could cure it. But seeing his miserable face, she guessed that he probably couldn't stand the bland food the two elders ate every day.
"Huahua, don't be angry," Fu Zeming said as he sat back down and whispered to comfort her. "Grandpa and Grandma are just talking. They still love you in their hearts."
"Yes, Huahua. Don't take it to heart," Fu Moning said, putting on a smiling face and picking up some food for her. "Let's eat."
She took back her gaze and nodded at them, indicating that she was okay.
On the contrary, Fu Lingshi looked like a neglected golden retriever at this moment.
Everyone had a heart of flesh. No matter how used she was to the attitude of the two elders, she still felt a little sad. But fortunately, with the comfort of her father and sisters, her eldest brother soon returned to his usual self.
After dinner, she went back to her room. After all, the two elders were going to watch the evening news in the living room. They couldn't just chat under their noses. And everyone was a bit tired today, so they decided to go back to their bedrooms to rest.
She lay on the bed and patted her slightly bulging stomach, secretly blaming herself for eating too much tonight.
She sat up, walked to her suitcase, and took out the digestive medicine she usually took. She swallowed the pills with water.
She had planned to finish organizing the materials she hadn't finished before, but perhaps because she had eaten too much, she was already feeling sleepy.
It was not until she was lying in bed, half asleep, that she suddenly remembered something.
She had forgotten about Xia Anying. Completely.
She suddenly sat up from the bed and then reached for the phone on the bedside table.
If she remembered correctly, ordinary universities were on holiday today. Philnos was a world - class institution, and the students there were under great pressure, so they naturally had more holidays.
She quickly opened the messaging app and found that Leng Chuanjin had indeed sent her a message. But it had been retracted, leaving only a period.
After hesitating for a long time, she still called him. After all, she couldn't just leave this "sister" of hers in the Leng family.
"Second brother?" The phone was answered within seconds, and she quickly called out to him.
"Yeah." The man's slightly nasal voice came from the receiver.
"Are you sick?" she asked nervously.
"No." His voice was still a bit husky, but the nasal tone had disappeared.
"Probably just sleepy," he said, and then there was a rustling sound on the phone.
"Did I wake you up?" she added in a soft voice.
"No," the man said, and then he gave a soft laugh. "Why are you already afraid of me after just being separated for such a short time?"
There was an indescribable languor in his voice, which made her ears tingle.
She mumbled a few words, her mind going blank. She completely forgot the purpose of this call.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, he asked, "Why did you call me? Can't be because you missed me, right?"
His words pulled her back to reality. Hearing his words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Has Xia Anying returned to the Leng family?" She didn't want to call that kind of person her sister, so she called her by her name directly. It was as if all the disguises she had put on in front of her second brother in the past few days had been instantly torn apart.
The man also put away his teasing tone. He poured himself a cup of hot water and walked to the bedside.
"Yes," he said. When it came to Xia Anying, his tone was not as warm as when he talked to Xia Sanghuan.
"Hasn't she caused any trouble for the Leng family..." she asked quickly, noticing the coldness in his tone.
"Not yet," he said, taking a sip of hot water and looking out of the window. Xia Anying was saying goodbye to her friends. He didn't know what had gotten into her today, but she had actually dared to bring a bunch of friends back to the Leng family. And these people even knew Leng Wanqing. But he couldn't afford to lose the face of the Leng family, so he had to let his sister entertain them as the host, while he had never shown up the whole time. Fortunately, all of her friends were girls. If there had been a single boy among them, he wouldn't have let them carry on like this. Although they were quite annoying, they hadn't caused any real trouble to the Leng family. And since Wanqing seemed quite happy, he just let them be.
"I'm sorry, second brother. I'll send someone to pick her up and bring her back to the Fu family tomorrow," she said apologetically.
"It's okay. Just let her stay in the Leng family," he said.
Hearing his words, the girl was stunned for a moment.
"Why? You have such a bad relationship with her. Once she's back in the Fu family, who knows what trouble she'll cause you," she said.
He said calmly, "Moreover, you can't let Uncle Fu see that you two don't get along well, right? Once she does something excessive to you, the Fu family will cut off her living allowance immediately. I don't think she'll be any more well - behaved in the Fu family."
It had to be said that Leng Chuanjin was a man who had been through the ups and downs of the business world for many years. Although she had tried her best to act, he still saw through her. No, it should be said that he saw the whole truth.
She sighed and said helplessly, "You really know everything."
He gave a soft laugh. "Who do you think I am?"
Hearing the little pride in his tone, she couldn't help but laugh a few times.
"However, you also need to keep a close eye on her behavior in the Leng family. Once she does something wrong, inform me immediately. I'll bring her back right away," she said seriously after laughing.
"Okay. And don't let Fu Kai bully you in the Fu family," he said.
The girl was stunned for a moment and then laughed again.
"Okay," she replied softly, and then the two hung up the phone.
She lay back on the bed, and her right hand kept stroking the watch on her left wrist. She stared at the ceiling and suddenly realized that she had already started to miss him after just being separated for a few hours.
