The Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO

Chapter 93 - Jia Li Gets Hit On The Face

The next morning, Jia Li went to meet the old man in his study.

"Jia Li is you're here to talk about the marriage plans, this old man would have to disappoint you. This matter has been settled since a long time ago." Grandfather Fu said to the young lady that was sitting before him.

"Grandfather, I know you want to get me a good match, but I don't want to get married now, and Brother Hua doesn't like me either. Grandfather, I beg you to think this over again." Jia Li said in a worried tone.

"Jia Li, the first time I met you, I had already had these thoughts in my mind. None of you may be seeing the bigger picture now, but you will understand in the future. I know Fu Hee came to talk to you about this matter last night, and that's the more reason this marriage has to happen. I don't like it when people go against my ordered and the rules of this family. Jia Li, go back." Grandfather Du said as he waved her off.

Jia Li didn't know what to say again. She wanted to ask the old man if he has ever wanted to know her opinion, but she left the question.

She glanced at him, but he didn't bother to look at her so she had no choice but to leave his study.

"Master, don't you think you are being too harsh on her? If she gets bullied, she may resent you in her heart. Miss Qin has always lived a peaceful life, and she will suffer a lot before she adjusts to all of these." Butler Lu said after he glanced at Jia Li's back with pity.

"All of you will have to thank me later. Lu, don't disturb me about this matter again. You will have to be my eyes in this house. Fu Hee will surely vent her anger on Jia Li, and I will use that opportunity to punish her. Call Fu Lei back home, we have a lot of matters to discuss."

Grandfather Fu instructed, and Butler Lu nodded in response.

After breakfast, Grandfather Fu officially announced his plans for Fu Hua and Jia Li to get married within a month.

There was absolute tranquility after the announcement.

Fu Hua's countenance turned cold, but he didn't say a word.

Fu YingPei glanced between his brother and Jia Li before glancing at the old man without saying anything even though he was surprised by the news.

Fu Meixu has long found out about the news from her mother, so she was not surprised. But she was still shocked.

Fu Ling ate his food in silence apart from the occasional glances he gave.

As for Jia Li, she had her head down the whole time. She didn't have a good appetite, but she managed to eat a little.

She could tell her life won't be peaceful anymore. She was kind of regretting her decision on following the old man back to the Fu Family.

She was thinking that maybe if she didn't follow him, she wouldn't have encountered today's situation. But she knew if she didn't follow him, her life would have been very difficult.

Thinking of all the things the Old Man had done for her, she concluded that she must pay him back. If getting married to the Cold-faced grandson of his could pay off gal of the debts she owed him, then she was willing to listen to him.

"I don't see Fu Hee here, where did she go to?." Grandfather Fu asked.

'Grandfather, is it just now you noticed my mother isn't here?.' Fu YingPei thought to himself.

You know, they all sat together, and had breakfast, and even talked for a while after breakfast, but it was only now he noticed her absence.

"Father, Fu Hee said she wouldn't be joining us for breakfast because she is sick." Fu ChunHua replied.

Grandfather Fu snorted. "Who is she trying to fool by pretending to be sick?."

Then he turned to Fu Hua to say, "Fu Hua, I want to see you in my study before you leave for work."

Fu Hua glanced at him wordlessly as he was seething with rage. He was trying really hard not to glare up.

Fu YingPei was the first person to leave the dining area, and as he was walking along the hallway, he met his mother, and she didn't look sick at all.

It turns out the old man knew his mother very well.

"Mum, I thought you were sick," YingPei said with a smiling gaze.

"Scram! Do I look sick to you? I would really be angered to death before I will get a chance to fall sick." Fu Hee said in an annoyed tone.

"Don't get too angry, be careful of your health." I YingPei said.

"I don't think I can have peace these days. Your grandfather is insisting that your brother gets married to that girl, I can't allow that to happen." Fu Hee said with a worried stance.

"Huh ???? don't you think you are too late?." YingPei said with a confused look.

He thought his motherboard already accepted the old man's decision, but since she didn't like the idea and couldn't refute him, she was taking her time to flyer over the situation, but who knew his mother still had plans to cancel the marriage plans.

"What do you mean it's too late?." Fu Hee asked with creased brows.

"After breakfast, Grandfather announced to us that brother and Jia Li will be getting married soon, and he asked all of us to help with the preparations. And when breakfast ended, he called brother to his study, and I think it's to finalize the marriage plans."

"What?! What nonsense are you talking about? How did the matter progress so fast just from my absence at breakfast?." Fu Hee asked angrily.

"I don't know. But grandfather is really serious about this matter." YingPei said casually.

Fu Hee looked as if a clap of thunder struck her.

"And your brother, what did he say?." She asked.

"He didn't say anything." Fu YingPei replied.

"What! Don't tell me he has given up and decided for that old man to push him around?! I won't accept this. Last night, I had the confidence that your grandfather will think twice about this matter because I spoke to Jia Li about it, but who knew he would hasten the progress instead of slowing down! That's right, is all of that girl's fault. Who knows what she said to him. I just knew she had other plans. She looks so innocent, but she is capable of splitting people's families apart. I will have to teach her a lesson she will never forget."

After saying this, Fu Hee started walking away in anger.

Fu YingPei was confused with what she was saying, but seeing her so angry, he guessed she was going to look for Jia Li, so he hurriedly followed after her and tried to stop her, but she remained adamant, so he could only follow her just in case she caused trouble.

After YingPei left the dining area, Jia Li got up to leave as well. She had a class to attend, so she had to leave for school.

Just when she walked into the living room, Fu ChunHua and Fu Meixu caught up with her.

Jia Li heard her name, so she stopped in her steps and turned around.

"Jia Li, congratulations!." Fu Meixu said with a smile.

Jia Li gave a bitter smile, so Fu ChunHua walked up to her with a smile as she took her hands.

"Don't be sad, everything will be alright. This is a thing of joy, so what's there to be sad about?."

"Yes, yes, Jia Li, don't be worried about my cousin not treating you well. He might be cold, but I'm sure he won't be mean to you." Fu Meixu chipped in with a smile.

Jia Li didn't comment on the marriage matter, instead, she said to them.

"Aunty, I will have to leave for school now, I have a class this morning."

"Oh, okay, then, you can be on your way." Fu ChunHua said with a smile and she released her hands.

"Thank you!."

Jia Li had just said a word of thanks when she heard hurried footsteps. It distracted them, so the three of them turned around to have a look.

Glancing over and seeing Jia Li, Fu YingPei wanted to pull his mother's hands, but his phone rang at that moment, so he got a little distracted.

Seeing Fu Hee coming towards her in anger, Jia Li felt that something was wrong, and just as she called out to her, "Auntie?" a tight slap landed on her left cheek.

"Mum!"

"Fu Hee!!!"

"Aunty!!"

The three people called out to Fu Hee at the same time.

YingPei rushed over to hold his mother back when he saw she still had the intention of hitting Jia Li again.

Jia Li held the side of her face that has just been slapped as tears dropped down from her eyes.

"Let me go! I want to teach this girl a lesson! With that innocent face as a facade, she is really trying to deeply attach herself to the Fu Family without letting go! How dare she to have eyes on my son?! What a little gold digger!!!" Fu Hee screamed at Jia Li as she struggled with Fu YingPei.

"Fu Hee! You have gone too far! How could you slap her, what right do you have to hit her?!" Fu ChunHua asked as she angrily pointed at her, while Fu Meixu pulled Jia Li to her side and comforted her.

"I have the right to hit her back to her senses for having ideas about my son! And you, what right do you have to talk back at me?!." Fu Hee asked angrily.

"Mum!!" YingPei called out as he pulled his mother forcefully.

"What is going on here?!." Grandfather Fu asked angrily as he glanced over at them.

He suddenly appeared with Fu Hua standing beside him, and nobody knew when they came over.
