I smiled and found a place to sit down, then took a sip of the teacup that the servant had just brought.
The tea soup is clear, full of tea fragrance, and it tastes soft and sweet.
I chuckled sweetly, "Grandpa always thinks of us when he has something good."
"No wonder the old man favors you, you're so sweet-mouthed!"
Second Aunt said with a smile.
I smiled and said nothing more.
After chatting and laughing for a while, Uncle Qi came to invite everyone to the table for dinner.
The seats for the family dinner are arranged in advance.
Grandpa sat in the main seat, followed by my second uncle, second aunt, and cousin.
On the left are Fu Qichuan, who has taken over the Fu family, me, my father-in-law, and Fu Jinan.
You can tell which is more important at a glance.
No matter how dissatisfied Fu Jinan was, he could only endure it.
She dared to cause trouble for me in other places, but only in the Fu family's old house. Even though Fu Qichuan and I were divorced completely, she didn't dare to bully me here.
This confidence was given to me by my grandfather.
I ate my meal slowly and carefully, and Second Auntie said warmly, "Nanzhi, try these peony shrimps."
"I heard from Uncle Wu that this is because you love it, so the old man specifically ordered it. It was just salvaged from the sea and flown back to the country. It tastes so delicious, and we are all benefiting from you."
Hearing this, I looked at my grandfather with white hair sitting in the main seat, and I felt indescribably moved.
To a large extent, it was my grandfather who made up for the family affection that I had been missing for more than ten years.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
I smiled obediently, picked one up and put it in my bowl. Just as I was about to eat it, my stomach started churning uncontrollably. I covered my mouth and ran into the bathroom.
After several days of vomiting out everything he had just eaten, he felt a little better.
I rinsed my mouth before returning to the table.
Grandpa put down his chopsticks and asked me concernedly, "Are you feeling unwell? Let the doctor take a look at you."
"dad,"
Second Aunt, an experienced person, continued with a smile, "I see, your grandson's wife is pregnant. You will have four generations living together. Our Fu family will have a new baby!"
I didn't expect my pregnancy to be revealed so suddenly.
My heart skipped a beat, and my nails suddenly dug into my palms. I felt panicked and confused.
Grandpa looked at me and asked happily, "Is that really what your second aunt said?"
I could feel everyone's eyes instantly falling on me.
Anticipation, surprise, jealousy.
Each one makes me feel very uncomfortable.
My brain raced, trying to come up with a convincing reason.
Meeting my grandfather's expectant eyes, I really couldn't bear to lie to him.
But I have to.
I could only harden my heart and say, "Grandpa, I'm not pregnant yet. It's just that my stomach has been feeling uncomfortable lately, so I feel nauseous."
To my surprise, Grandpa’s first reaction was not disappointment.
It's a show of care and love for the younger generation. "Have you been to the hospital? You've lost a lot of weight recently. Let Qi Chuan accompany you to the hospital one day and have a full physical examination."
"Need not……"
I was shocked and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Once you have a physical examination, the fact that you are pregnant can no longer be hidden.
But before he could finish his words, Grandpa glared at Fu Qichuan.
Fu Qichuan opened his thin lips slightly and interrupted me in a deep voice, "Okay."
In front of a large table of people, I didn't say anything and could just find a reason not to go.
Besides, he might not really remember it after his death.
After dinner, it was still early, so my grandfather called me upstairs in front of everyone.
This is the first time.
I was a little nervous. Could it be that Grandpa had seen through that Fu Qichuan and I were deceiving him?
After entering the study, Grandpa walked over and sat down next to the ebony chair. After telling Uncle Xiao to close the door, he called me, "Nanzhi, sit down."
"Um."
I responded and sat down beside him. Meeting my grandfather's sharp and clear gaze, I became more and more restless.
In the huge study, there were only my grandfather, my uncle who was making tea nearby.
As expected, Grandpa spoke with a knowing look on his face: "You still want to get a divorce?"
“…”
My heart finally died.
Grandpa had already seen through it, so there was no point in hiding it. "Um...how did you know that?"
Grandpa sighed, but he didn't get angry about being deceived. "You, even though you're independent and stubborn, and you don't show how much you like him, when have those eyes ever left him?"
"But today, you didn't even glance at him."
There was a lot of regret in grandpa's words.
Hearing this, my throat choked and I couldn't say anything for a moment.
Yes, you can’t hide your love for someone. Even if you cover your mouth, it will still show through your eyes.
Even my grandfather saw it clearly, but Fu Qichuan thought I liked someone else.
Are the authorities simply lost in the matter, or have they never taken it seriously?
I lowered my head slightly, hiding the bitterness in my heart. My throat was boiling, and all I could say ended up being just one sentence: "Grandpa, I'm sorry."
"Grandpa is sorry for you,"
Grandpa gestured to Uncle Qi to serve me tea. "If I hadn't wanted you to marry that brat, you wouldn't have fallen into such a deep pit."
I took a sip of the hot tea and shook my head. "No, it's not that. You just... made my dream come true. If it weren't for you, I might have spent my whole life trying to reach for the stars. But now, I can move on without regrets."
Whether you get it or not, you will want it all your life.
I've had it, and I've given up, which is much better than never having had it at all.
That way, you won’t be obsessed with it anymore.
Grandpa's eyes were filled with helplessness. "Originally, I still wanted to persuade you not to divorce, but after hearing what you said, if I continue to persuade you, it would be like I'm too partial to Qi Chuan. You should know that in Grandpa's eyes, you are no different from his own granddaughter. Even if you lose the title of Young Madam of the Fu family, no one dares to bully you!"
Grandpa said the last sentence with great force.
It’s a guarantee and it also gives me peace of mind.
My heart was filled with warmth, and my voice was choked with sobs, "Grandpa..."
"Nanzhi,"
Grandpa called me, his expression was full of secrecy, "Do you know why I don't want Fu Jinan and her daughter to marry into the Fu family?"
"Why?"
"Old man."
Grandpa gave Uncle Qi a look.
Uncle understood, walked to the safe, took out a brown paper document bag, and at my grandfather's gesture, respectfully handed it to me.
"Open it and take a look." said Grandpa.
I felt strangely nervous, as if I was about to uncover some secret.
As expected.
Inside the file bag was a memory card and several photos developed from the surveillance video.
There are two women in the photo, one with a pregnant belly and the other with a good figure.
The former is Fu Qichuan's biological mother.
I have seen her photo in the Fu family portrait. She is pretty and a lady from a noble family with a scholarly temperament.
Later, I accompanied Fu Qichuan to the hospital to visit his stepmother, Aunt Wen.
I looked at the pictures one by one, and my heart beat faster and faster!
Finally, I looked up at Grandpa in disbelief!
I wanted to say something, but my throat seemed to have lost its voice. However, my grandfather understood what I wanted to ask and gave me an accurate answer.
