Pregnant women are indeed prone to sleepiness. When Song Xingyao woke up, it was almost 3 p.m., and the man beside her was long gone.
She got up and tidied herself up, then followed Fu Siming's instructions and found the phone number Fu Quan had left for him last time.
The call was answered very quickly.
Hearing Song Xingyao's voice, Fu Quan was overjoyed, but the next second, his smile vanished.
Fu Siming guessed correctly; Wu Mu indeed did not consult with Fu Quan, but instead invited Song Xingyao on his own.
The person on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat helpless.
He remembered what Dr. Lin had said, but Song Xingyao's words quickly dispelled his worries.
“Uncle Fu, I’ve already spoken to Fu Siming, and he said he can come with me. But I think I should talk to you about this so I can give Aunt Wu a proper reply.”
Her words reassured Fu Quan somewhat; he hadn't expected that Fu Siming would actually agree.
It seems he genuinely cares about Song Xingyao; otherwise, given his cold and decisive nature in the business world, he would never have gotten involved in something like this.
After talking for a while, the two quickly hung up the phone.
Then I replied to Wu Mu's message, and the reply came as quickly as if he were right in front of my phone.
While Fu Quan was still troubled, Wu Mu, who had only recently recovered from his daze and regained his composure, had already begun to arrange these matters.
It might be one or two times, but if it goes on for too long, the Fu and Fu families will definitely be in chaos.
Moreover, Fu Yao is also at home now.
Strangely enough, after adopting Fu Yao, Wu Mu never acknowledged her as his daughter.
Later, having no other choice, Fu Quan had to say that Fu Yao was his younger brother's child.
Fu Quan's younger brother and sister-in-law disappeared while on a mission abroad, which is why he had this title to use.
Fu Quan now deeply regrets it; all those lies he told feel like boomerangs that have pierced his own body.
Therefore, he always felt indebted to Yao, so he could only show her more care and make up for it materially.
Fu Quan called his assistant and asked him to transfer the villa in the resort in the southern suburbs to her name, hoping that she could go there to rest when she had some free time.
Don't let Wu Mu's enthusiasm for Song Xingyao make her feel bad.
Time flies, and before they knew it, it was the weekend. Fu Siming and his wife prepared a lot of gifts, just like a daughter returning home to her parents' home in an ordinary family.
Wu Mu was excited all day long and prepared a huge table of dishes, enough for more than 10 people, let alone four.
The dishes weren't particularly delicious, and they weren't from any famous chefs, but they had a strong homey flavor, and you could see the care and attention put into them by the cook.
Worried that Fu Siming, being a picky eater, wouldn't be able to get used to it, Song Xingyao secretly glanced at him a couple of times. Seeing that he didn't show much expression, she felt a little relieved.
At the dinner table, Wu Mu's excessive enthusiasm made Song Xingyao feel somewhat awkward, and she had to wait for Fu Quan to come to her rescue.
"If you keep putting food on Yao Yao's plate, her bowl will be higher than a mountain."
Wu Mu nudged him, "I just think Yao Yao is too thin, she should eat more."
"Stop putting food in my bowl, give me some too. You've forgotten about your husband now that you have a daughter, haven't you?"
He teased her on purpose, and Wu Mu couldn't help but feel embarrassed. What father would be jealous of his daughter?
So I put two chopsticks in his bowl too, but afterwards I didn't pile any more food into Song Xingyao's bowl.
After the meal, Wu Mu personally handed the set of pink jewelry he had chosen to Song Xingyao.
This was quite unexpected, since we initially only planned to come for a meal.
Song Xingyao had seen that set of jewelry in a magazine when she worked at a luxury goods store; it was quite expensive and highly collectible.
Completely unprepared for this situation, Song Xingyao was momentarily flustered.
The man beside her had already reached out and taken the brocade box. "Thank you, Mom. It's too precious. Yao Yao was afraid that she would take something with her every time she came and take all of Mom's things."
"Hahaha... Anyway, in the end, everything in the Fu family will belong to Yaoyao."
She laughed when she heard Fu Siming say that.
Fu Yao happened to hear her say that when she came back.
"Dad, Mom?" she greeted Fu Quan and his wife, then turned to Song Xingyao and her husband and asked, "What brings you here?"
This awkward situation was difficult even for someone like Fu Quan, who had seen many big scenes.
When Fu Quan delivered the property certificate and keys for the house transfer, he also spent some time at her apartment.
He told Fu Yao, "The villa in the southern suburbs has been transferred to your name. You can go there for a vacation when you have time."
She had agreed, so Fu Quan didn't expect that she wouldn't go and would instead return to the Fu family. In fact, she didn't come back very often.
What you fear most often comes to pass.
Wu Mu was somewhat displeased with her tone and was about to speak when Fu Quan interrupted, "Yao Yao, this is your sister."
Then he walked up to her and whispered, "I'll explain later."
...
Upon hearing his words, Fu Yao put on a smile and greeted him, "Oh~ so it's my sister and brother-in-law."
Fu Siming sensed Song Xingyao's natural resistance and felt a rare sense of embarrassment, so he didn't respond to her meaningful "brother-in-law".
"Yaoyao and I are going back now. We'll come see you again next time." With that, she left.
After the two left the Fu family home, Fu Quan and his daughter finally met face to face in the study.
Fu Quan: "Yaoyao, your mother's illness hasn't gotten better yet. She's still not over what happened on the terrace that day, so she's mistaking Song Xingyao for the missing child."
This was the first time Fu Quan himself had mentioned his missing child to Fu Yao.
Because he always felt that Fu Yao shouldn't have to endure so much; she had once come into his life as a child.
Moreover, when she adopted her, she despicably thought that she was treating this child as a substitute for the missing child.
Therefore, I always feel indebted to them.
“Her condition seems to be better than before, but Dr. Lin said that she can’t be stimulated now, so Xingyao and Siming came here at my request to help her complete this play. I didn’t tell you because I was worried that you would think too much.”
He paused for a moment, then sighed, his words filled with helplessness and guilt. "But now it seems that I've put you in a difficult position. It would have been better to tell you from the beginning."
Upon hearing his words, Fu Yao immediately changed her clothes, appearing sensible and obedient. "Dad, you could have told me earlier. I wouldn't have minded. After all, it's all for Mom's illness. As long as she can get better, anything is worth it."
As she spoke, she went up and patted him on the back. Her obedient appearance really touched Fu Quan.
He thought that Fu Yao was really different after she came back from abroad. She had become much more sensible and often helped with family matters.
Ultimately, the Fu family will still be handed over to her.
