Chapter 124 He became Xia Miannao! Uncle is back!
"This needlework technique is extremely delicate and realistic, and it is the most difficult needlework technique in Bian embroidery. Moreover, I heard that this needlework technique is almost lost... and few people have learned it in recent years."
Fu Yubai looked at Xia Mian in great surprise, "Mianmian, this scarf of yours is priceless... Which master did you consult?"
Xia Mian smiled slightly, her eyes crinkling, "I embroidered this myself, I didn't hire a master."
She said shyly, "My mother is an inheritor of Bian embroidery, so I have been learning Bian embroidery from her since I was a child."
"It's just that my skills are not as good as my mother's; they're only passable."
Fu Yubai shook his head, "Mianmian, you're too modest. This kind of loose embroidery isn't something just anyone can learn."
She unfolded the scarf and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful, so gorgeous, it's practically a work of art!"
Madam Fu happily said to her daughter, "Quick, let me try it on. When it gets cold, I'll take it out and wear it, and my old friends will be so envious."
Fu Yubai helped her mother try it on, and the old lady Fu turned around in front of the mirror. "It's so beautiful! The peony is really gorgeous! And the character for longevity is beautiful too. How can Mianmian be so skillful!"
Xia Mian blushed slightly at her praise, "Grandma... I'm glad you like it."
Madam Fu was so kind to her, and all she gave her was a scarf; it was nothing.
Zhao Baoqi also exclaimed, circling around Madam Fu, "Grandma, you're so beautiful! I want one too!"
Zhao Baoqi looked at Xia Mian with longing eyes, "How are you so amazing? You can take your driving test and still secretly prepare a gift for Grandma at the same time."
Zhao Baoqi humbly begs her best friend for a reward online.
Seeing Zhao Baoqi's expectant look, Xia Mian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Okay, I'll grant your wish."
"Oh my gosh! Bestie, you're so great, I love you so much!" Zhao Baoqi hugged Xia Mian's neck tightly. "I want one shaped like a labubu! Can you embroider it?"
"Why are you making conditions now?" Fu Yubai tapped her daughter's forehead. "How can you embroider 'labubu'? I don't think it'll work."
"I've never embroidered before, but I can give it a try." Xia Mian did not refuse Zhao Baoqi's request.
Madam Fu then unpacked the gifts given by Zhao Baoqi and Fu Yubai. Zhao Baoqi gave a jade safety buckle, while Fu Yubai gave a massage bed, a massage chair, and a foot bath tub.
"Mom, these massage devices are all the latest models. Let's throw away the old ones we have at home."
“No, I can donate it.” Madam Fu was quite pleased with her daughter’s thoughtfulness.
As the group was chatting and laughing, the butler suddenly rushed over, "Madam, Madam! Look who's back!"
The lively atmosphere in the living room instantly froze, and everyone looked towards the door.
Xia Mian saw a tall man, who was handsome and about thirty years old. Upon closer inspection, his features were somewhat similar to Fu Yanshen's, but the two had very different temperaments.
Fu Yanshen was cold and aloof, while the man in front of him was even more sinister and gloomy.
When Madam Fu saw her youngest son, Fu Lichen, her expression instantly became excited. "Lichen, you're back? That's wonderful!"
Fu Lichen has been staying in Hong Kong for a long time, and it has been two years since he last returned to the Fu family.
"Didn't you say you'd be back this weekend?" Fu Yubai glanced at Fu Lichen. "Why are you back early?"
The man's expression was indifferent. He glanced at Fu Yubai, then looked at Old Madam Fu, but he did not speak.
Just as Xia Mian was wondering why he wasn't speaking, she was shocked to see the man raise his slender hands; he was using sign language.
Uncle Fu can't speak?
Is he mute?
This bigwig from Hong Kong...
Xia Mian had only heard rumors about Fu Lichen in her previous life; she had never actually met him.
She was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.
Furthermore, she noticed that Zhao Baoqi and the twins didn't seem very enthusiastic towards Fu Lichen.
After greeting the Fu family, Fu Lichen instructed the butler to bring out the gifts and distribute them to everyone.
To Xia Mian's surprise, she also received a share.
Madam Fu's birthday gift was also quite valuable, clearly showing that she had put a lot of thought into it.
Fu Lichen used sign language, "I wanted to celebrate my mother's birthday, so I came back early."
Madam Fu smiled and said, "I know you are filial. It's good that you're back! Let me introduce you. This is Xia Mian, Yan Shen's girlfriend."
Fu Lichen nodded to Xia Mian as a greeting.
Xia Mian immediately greeted him with a graceful and generous "Hello".
As noon approached, a variety of delicious dishes were laid out on the table.
When Fu Yanshen returned, he saw Xia Mian sitting next to Old Madam Fu, with bright eyes and white teeth, smiling charmingly. Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and she wore a sleeveless top that revealed her round, fair shoulders. When Fu Yanshen saw her, he felt as if a seductive aura was emanating from her.
His gaze darkened slightly as he strode to the dining table. To Xia Mian's right was Zhao Baoqi. He didn't say anything, but Zhao Baoqi very tactfully moved aside, allowing him to sit to Xia Mian's right.
The man's gaze lingered on the girl's slender neck and rounded shoulders for a moment.
He felt his mouth was a little dry, so he coughed lightly, "Mianmian."
Xia Mian stared at him in surprise. She had been chatting with Madam Fu the whole time, making the old lady laugh heartily, and hadn't noticed when Fu Yanshen had returned at all.
Fu Yanshen could only smell a seductive fragrance emanating from her, drifting gently into his nostrils.
His exposed arms and shoulders were white and tender, which made him restless.
My mouth felt dry, and my Adam's apple bobbed up and down involuntarily.
His entire gaze was fixed on Xia Mian, unwavering, unwilling to look away even for a moment.
Xia Mian felt the man's burning gaze. Feeling a little embarrassed, she subconsciously tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "What are you doing? Why aren't you eating? Why are you staring at me?"
Fu Yanshen took her small hand under the table, tickled her palm with his fingers, and whispered, "I want to eat you."
Xia Mian was too shy to look up at him, gripping her chopsticks tightly in one hand. "Eat quickly! Your uncle is back! Haven't you greeted him yet?"
Fu Yanshen didn't like hearing her mention other men, not even his uncle.
He said domineeringly, "Don't pay attention to your uncle, I'm your boyfriend."
The moment he saw Xia Mian, he felt his brain was a little out of control, turning into Xia Mian's brain.
Faced with his wolfish gaze fixed on her, Xia Mian wanted to run away, and annoyance appeared on her face. "Stop messing around!"
Fu Yanshen suddenly...
