Chapter 167 - Drag Her Out
After the call, Fu Hua walked back to Jia Li and Grandfather Fu's side.
"Grandfather, I have to leave now."
"You want to leave your pregnant wife here and go where?" Grandfather Fu asked as he directed a frowning gaze towards Fu Hua.
Fu Hua was thinking that there was nothing wrong with that. Jia Li was pregnant, but he didn't have to leave his work to stay at home with her.
"I have an emergency meeting at work. One of our Top Designers got poached by a rival company, and she left with some unfinished design drafts." Fu Hua explained.
One of FJ Styles' top designers got poached by a rival company, and she left with unfinished drafts she was asked to work on, so this was not good news to Fu Hua.
Grandfather Fu glanced at his grandson and wanted to console him, but seeing that unfazed look, he had no words of consolation left.
Grandfather Fu agreed for Fu Hua to leave since the meeting was very important.
Fu Hua glanced at Jia Li before walking towards the inner room. When he disappeared, Grandfather Fu said to Jia Li, "Girl, I see your breakfast has been sent to you, eat something. If you don't like it, tell the kitchen whatever you want to eat. If you don't like their cooking, I will take you to a place to get delicious food."
"Grandfather, I like the food here, I will eat now. If there is anything, I will surely tell you." Jia Li replied with a smile.
"That's good. Eat, I will go and arranged one of the best obstetricians for you." Grandfather Fu said as he patted Jia Li's hand and stood up.
"Thank you, Grandfather." Jia Li said with an appreciative smile.
Grandfather smiled and waved his hand. "There is nothing to thank me for. This old man has nothing to do other than to be on the lookout for you. Rest well, I will come around to see you again."
After Butler Lu left with Grandfather Fu, another person came to visit.
Fu Meixu met her grandfather in the hallway.
"Are you going to see Jia Li?" Grandfather asked with his gaze on Fu Meixu.
"Yes, Grandfather." Fu Meixu replied with a smile.
"Don't go over, allow Jia Li to eat and rest." Grandfather Fu rejected the idea of her going to see Jia Li.
Fu Meixu did not cry or whine, instead, she clung onto the old man's arm and said with a sweet smile, "Grandfather, I just want to see Jia Li for a few minutes to apologize for taking her out yesterday without knowing she was pregnant."
Grandfather Fu stared at her for a few seconds before giving his approval.
"Go and apologize but make sure you come out before 5 minutes is up."
Turning to Butler Lu, Grandfather Fu instructed while pointing, "Lu, if she stays more than 5 minutes, drag her out, nobody can disturb Jia Li."
"Yes, Sir." Butler Lu replied as he tried to hide his smile after watching the old man's stubborn look.
"Grandfather don't worry, I won't take long." After saying that, Fu Meixu hurriedly left his side.
Fu Meixu knocked and walked into Jia Li and Fu Hua's bedroom after hearing Jia Li's response.
"Jia Li, how are you doing?" Fu Meixu asked as she walked towards the bed with a smile.
"I'm fine." Jia Li replied.
"I'm sorry about yesterday, I didn't know you were pregnant or I wouldn't have forced you to follow me to that kind of place." Fu Meixu apologized after she sat on the chair Jia Li pointed out to her.
"Sister Meixu, it's not your fault. It was I who didn't tell you about it." Jia Li said to her.
"How is the baby? No wonder my cousin threatened me the other day. He asked me to take care of you, so it's because of the baby..." Fu Meixu said as she recalled the incident of the previous day.
She kept wondering if Jia Li was an egg that had to be pampered by her grandfather and cousin. And Fu Hua's attitude yesterday, was off to her, but it was not that she finally understood the point.
Jia Li didn't have the time to reply to her, because they both saw Fu Hua walkout from the inner room with some files.
When he saw Fu Meixu in his bedroom, he stopped in his steps as a deep frown appeared on his face.
Fu Meixu swallowed hard. Her cousin's facial expressions were top-notch. For now, since she couldn't stand it, she had to always escape, just like right now...
"Jia Li, I will see you soon, I have to leave for my agency now." Said Fu Meixu to Jia Li before disappearing.
When Fu Meixu left, Fu Hua retracted his gaze before turning back to Jia Li, "You're still not eating? Just now, I heard your voice, and you seemed so happy."
"I don't want to eat." Jia Li replied as she faced another direction.
"You have really learned to throw a tantrum. Is this who you really are, or is it the pregnancy hormones?" Fu Hua asked.
He was a little confused because the Jia Li he married was so sweet, obedient, and innocent, but he didn't understand the woman that was currently throwing a tantrum.
He was thinking if she had two personalities.
Jia Li did not reply to him.
"I'm leaving for work, I have an emergency meeting, make sure you eat."
As Fu Hua said that, another knock was heard on the door, and this time around, he couldn't hide his annoyance.
Fu ChunHua was standing outside the door with a smile while waiting to hear a voice from inside.
"Jia Li, go and get dressed, you're coming with me." Fu Hua said with a frown.
"Huh!" Jia Li was surprised ???? ????
"Do you need me to help you dress?" Fu Hua asked with raised brows.
Hearing him say that and knowing his personality, Jia Li knew it wouldn't take him anything to do as he said. Being aware of that fact, Jia Li got out of bed immediately and went into the inner room.
