Chapter 171 The relationship between my uncle and mother is shrouded in mystery! How immoral! How thrilling!
Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "Xia Mian, nobody wants to see something like this happen in the dormitory. From now on... let's get along well as the three of us."
"Don't worry, Xia Mian, I admire you completely. I won't do anything outrageous."
Xu Meimei was originally simple and weak. "Xia Mian, me too."
"I hope so." Xia Mian's attitude remained lukewarm.
With that, she pulled Zhao Baoqi away.
Li Qing watched Xia Mian's retreating figure, gritting his teeth in annoyance. "We sincerely apologized and made our stance clear, what does she mean by being so cold?"
Xu Meimei glanced at her and thought she was a bit crazy.
"We didn't apologize, did we? We just said we'd get along well."
Fang Yuan was arrested and imprisoned, so now only Xia Mian and the other two are in the dormitory.
Xu Meimei genuinely believes that people should get along well, rather than starting an argument over a single sentence.
"Li Qing, you don't have a problem with Xia Mian, do you?"
"No, I have no problem with her," Li Qing immediately denied.
“But I see you…” Xu Meimei didn’t finish her sentence. She felt that Li Qing must really dislike Xia Mian.
The thought of having to live in the dorm with Li Qing for four more years is so painful!
Xia Mian is clearly easier to get along with than Li Qing!
Xu Meimei had already made up her mind.
After the poisoning incident, she felt as if she had suddenly grown up a lot and no longer blindly trusted her roommates.
At the very least, Li Qing will no longer believe her completely.
One should always be wary of others.
The continuous autumn rain relieved the heat of military training.
In the afternoon, the instructors led them in singing revolutionary songs or playing games in the classroom.
Xia Mian wasn't very interested in these things, nor did she feel a strong sense of participation.
She informed her mother that Madam Fu would be visiting her at the hospital with her youngest son.
Upon seeing her daughter's message, the mother, Shen Yingshuang, immediately washed her face despite her weakened state and applied skincare products to appear more energetic.
She had a very good impression of the Fu family.
After all, it was the Fu family that extended a helping hand to their daughter when she was isolated and helpless.
Shen Yingshuang asked Aunt Li, the caregiver Xia Mian had just hired, "Sister Li, look at my complexion, is it any better?"
"Madam is beautiful, she looks good no matter what." Sister Li has a gentle personality, is quick and efficient, and takes good care of Shen Yingshuang.
Ever since Xia Mian hired her, the two caregivers the Xia family hired have started to slack off.
Sister Li seemed oblivious, focusing wholeheartedly on taking care of Shen Yingshuang.
Shen Yingshuang naturally saw this and kept it in mind, and was already preparing to fire the two from the Xia family.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Excuse me, is this Ms. Shen's hospital room?"
Shen Yingshuang looked up and saw the elegantly dressed Madam Fu standing at the door. She quickly got off the bed and asked, "Yes, are you... Madam Fu?"
"Oh dear, don't call me 'Madam,' just call me 'Auntie'!" Madam Fu walked into the ward with a cheerful smile, and called to her youngest son, Fu Lichen, behind her, "Lichen, put all these gifts down."
Shen Yingshuang then noticed a tall and slender figure standing outside the ward door.
The man was carrying expensive gifts in both hands, which made the ward seem rather small as soon as he stepped in.
He was very tall. He put down what he was holding before raising his head.
Shen Yingshuang was stunned!
Fu Lichen's narrow eyes stared at the weak and pale Shen Yingshuang in front of him. The woman was so thin that she was just skin and bones, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.
His face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, as if it would break at the slightest touch.
But he still saw a familiar face in that sickly-looking man.
Shen Yingshuang's heart was pounding wildly. She never thought she would see Fu Lichen again in this lifetime!
How did he get here? How did he end up with Madam Fu?
She felt dizzy and could barely stand.
He subconsciously reached out and touched his forehead.
He was swaying precariously.
A strong arm wrapped around her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace.
An aggressive masculine aura instantly enveloped her. When Shen Yingshuang looked up, she saw Fu Lichen's handsome face so close to hers.
Compared to many years ago, he appears more composed, exuding the aura of a mature man.
After that incident, he should have...married and had children long ago, right?
As if burned, Shen Yingshuang instinctively pushed Fu Lichen away.
The man released his arm and took a half step back.
"Are you alright?" Old Madam Fu walked over and looked Shen Yingshuang up and down. "You and Mianmian do look quite alike, both of you are top-notch beauties."
Unfortunately, Shen Yingshuang's face now bears the marks of time, and she appears extremely weak due to her long-term illness.
"Auntie, please sit down." Shen Yingshuang steadied herself and invited Old Madam Fu to sit down.
Sister Li was quick and efficient; she immediately poured two glasses of water, washed some fruit, and put them on the coffee table.
"When can you be discharged from the hospital?" As soon as she sat down, Madam Fu began to ask about her health.
"It might take about another week! The doctor said to observe for a while longer!" Shen Yingshuang peeled an orange and handed it to Madam Fu. She had a very good impression of the elegant old lady in front of her. "Auntie, have an orange."
"How thoughtful of you!" Old Madam Fu took it with a beaming smile, then broke off half and gave it to her youngest son, Fu Lichen, who was standing beside her.
The man looked at the oranges in his mother's hand, and the thought that Shen Yingshuang had peeled them made his heart race uncontrollably.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Without waiting for a reply, Old Madam Fu shoved an orange into his hand. "It's sweet! Eat it!"
Unaware of her son's unusual behavior, she continued to look at Shen Yingshuang with loving eyes, "After you are discharged from the hospital, do you plan to go back to the Xia family to live?"
“Of course I’m going back to the Xia family home, after all, it’s my home.” Shen Yingshuang smiled slightly. “My three sons and my mother-in-law are all at the Xia family villa.”
Fu Lichen frowned. The orange in his mouth was bitten open, and sweet juice filled his mouth, but he only felt a bitter taste in his heart.
"Xia Mian lives at the Fu family's house. You can come and live at the Fu family's house too. The Fu family's house is very big..."
He used his two long, slender fingers to weave this sentence in sign language.
Madam Fu looked at her son with suspicion. He had always been cold and indifferent, and she had never seen him show any enthusiasm to anyone.
Why would he actually take the initiative to invite Shen Yingshuang?
Although she had originally intended to invite Shen Yingshuang, she did not expect that her son would be even more anxious than she was.
strangeness!
Shen Yingshuang couldn't understand sign language, and even with her eyes wide open, she couldn't decipher its meaning. "Auntie...this gentleman...he..."
“This is my youngest son, Fu Licheng. He used to be able to speak, but he lost his voice after an accident,” Old Madam Fu quickly introduced. “He wants to invite you and Mianmian to live with us. Our estate is very large…”
