While He Miaoran was picking out ingredients in front, Shu Manlan deliberately slowed down her pace, took out her cell phone and dialed a number.

At this time, Fu Yiming, who was sitting in the ward watching cartoons with Xia Linan, received a call.

He frowned slightly, stood up and walked outside the ward to answer the phone: "Mom?"

Shu Manlan asked softly on the other end: "Yiming, you have to go home for dinner tonight!"

Fu Yiming was puzzled and asked, "Are there any guests at home?"

Shu Manlan said dissatisfiedly: "Is it impossible for a mother to see her son?"

Fu Yiming looked at the woman in the ward and explained, "No, I have another one tonight..."

Shu Manlan interrupted him immediately, "Don't make excuses, you must come back tonight!"

Then she quickly hung up the phone.

Fu Yiming frowned, pinched his eyebrows weakly, and sighed.

Xia Linan looked at Fu Yiming who walked in with a worried look on his face, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything serious going on in the company?"

Fu Yiming shook his head slightly. He walked to Xia Linan, held her head with both hands, put his forehead close to hers, and said slowly, "I can't stay with you in the hospital tonight."

Although Xia Linan showed a hint of disappointment, she said sympathetically, "I'm fine. Go ahead and do your work."

Fu Yiming said to her guiltily: "I'm sorry."

Xia Linan regained his smile, "Why apologize? You are not me..."

She suddenly stopped and immediately changed the topic, "You are a big CEO who is busy with all kinds of things. It is normal for you to be busy. As your girlfriend, I should overcome all difficulties and support you!"

Fu Yiming looked down into her eyes and asked, "Do you want to be more stable in your position?"

"What?" Xia Lin'an asked blankly.

Fu Yiming grabbed her hand, held it in his palm, and said, "Come home with me to meet my parents."

Xia Linan blinked a few times, and then she came to her senses. She broke free from his grasp and said unnaturally, "Isn't this... a little too early?"

She avoided his gaze and refused to look directly at Fu Yiming.

Fu Yiming looked at his empty palm, took it back, and said lightly: "Yeah."

Xia Lin'an found a lame excuse and asked Fu Yiming to leave quickly.

Fu Yiming turned around to look at the woman who seemed to be concentrating on watching TV but was actually distracted and in a daze. In the end, he said nothing and left the ward.

Xia Linan, who stayed in the ward, kept thinking about Fu Yiming's words: "Come home with me to meet my parents."

The expression on her face was dull and she lowered her eyes to think about how her relationship with Fu Yiming began.

From the very beginning, she never thought about whether she should make it public or how to face the problems from both sides' parents.

She was so impulsive that she thought she could just go all out and do whatever it takes if she fell in love with Fu Yiming.

But now, she was bound by reality and dared not easily touch those issues that were sharp enough to hurt her heart.

With a family background like Fu Yiming's, what kind of daughter-in-law would he accept?

She was not virtuous, and could not stand Canary's life as a wealthy lady. She could not be compared with those ladies from wealthy families who never left their houses.

When she thought of this, Xia Linan's heart ached. Her self-esteem and self-confidence were crushed by reality.

Her intuition told her that her relationship with Fu Yiming was coming to an end.

Because Fu Yiming is already quite old, the Fu family definitely wants to continue the family line as soon as possible.

Xia Lin'an clutched the quilt tightly, bit his lower lip, and tried his best not to cry out.

Ten minutes ago, Fu Yijian, who was sitting in the Fu Building, also received a call from his mother Shu Manlan.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Fu Yijian answered the phone while checking the financial statements for the previous quarter.

"Yijian, you must go home and have a meal tonight!"

Shu Manlan's usual strong tone came through the phone.

Fu Yijian was a little surprised. He turned his head and looked at the calendar. It was just an ordinary day, why was it made so mysterious?

He helplessly asked the person on the other end of the phone: "Mom, why did you call me home? Tell me what happened."

Shu Manlan: "Look at you, as a son, you don't come home to see me all day, what's the meaning? Are you planning to let an old man like me live alone at home?"

After the head of the Fu family passed the throne to the Fu brothers, he went to Australia to recuperate.

So in the huge Fu residence, apart from the servants, Shu Manlan was the only one living there.

Fu Yijian thought that Shu Manlan had reached menopause and was just throwing a tantrum, so he gave in and said, "Okay, okay, I'll finish reading all these documents and then go home to see you, okay?"

Shu Manlan said forcefully: "No! You must go home for dinner! Your brother will be back too."

Then she immediately hung up the phone.

After Fu Yijian heard that his elder brother had also agreed to go home for dinner, he gradually noticed something strange and felt that something was wrong.

Shu Manlan must have been hiding something from the two brothers, which is why she went to such great lengths to get them to abandon their work and go home for dinner.

So, Fu Yijian immediately called his eldest brother.

When Fu Yiming, who had just gotten into the car, received a call from his younger brother Fu Yijian, he raised his brows slightly and secretly sensed something was wrong. After all, the two brothers were busy with work and rarely received sudden calls.

"Brother, where are you now?"

Fu Yijian sat in the office, tapping the table with his fingers in a chaotic rhythm, showing his anxiety and tension at the moment.

"In the car." Fu Yiming turned the steering wheel and added, "Preparing to go home."

Fu Yijian immediately caught the point and asked, "Did mom ask you to go back?"

Fu Yiming sensed something unusual. He frowned slightly and asked, "Did you get a call, too?"

In this way, both brothers realized that tonight's dinner might be a trap.

Fu Yijian asked worriedly, "Brother, what should we do tonight?"

Fu Yiming was silent for a while, then said calmly: "Act according to circumstances and respond accordingly."

Over the phone, he taught his younger brother an eight-word tactic.

Fu Yijian immediately understood what he meant, and he replied, "Okay, then we'll see you at home."

When Fu Yijian was about to hang up the phone, Fu Yiming said, "No, we'll meet at the intersection of the villa."

They couldn't just go home rashly, or they might fall into a trap without even knowing it.

Therefore, they must first find out what happened recently in Fu's house and Shu Manlan's current situation. They must know themselves and their enemies in order to win every battle.

It’s not that he is at odds with his brother and mother, but that Shu Manlan has repeatedly interfered in their lives and even influenced their love and marriage.

This made the two brothers very disgusted, so they "commonly hated the enemy" and silently resisted their mother's dominance and control.
