Chapter 182 Madam Xia, all you do every day is spew profanities.
Shen Yingshuang couldn't think of a reply for a moment.
She could only awkwardly mutter a couple of sentences, "Isn't Mianmian coming too? I... I'm too embarrassed to refuse Mianmian, so... or you could come tomorrow too? And come with Mianmian to take me back to the Xia family?"
Fu Lichen wanted to see Shen Yingshuang off himself, but then he realized that what she said made sense.
Xia Mian is, after all, her biological daughter.
He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and the desire to compete with Xia Mian for favor.
She nodded and typed on her phone, "Okay, I'll do whatever my sister says."
He now only regrets that he created the persona of someone who can't speak.
His gaze sharpened, a hint of gloom creeping into his eyes as he looked toward the doorway.
The next day.
After getting up, Xia Mian hurriedly prepared to go to the hospital to pack her mother's luggage and complete the discharge procedures.
As soon as I stepped into the ward, I was surprised to see that my mother's luggage had been packed neatly.
They even completed the discharge procedures.
"Mianmian, you've arrived?" Mother Shen Yingshuang smiled lovingly. "Let's go."
"Mom, is everything alright?" Xia Mian was still a little worried. "I was thinking of taking care of it!"
“This is all thanks to Mr. Fu.” Shen Yingshuang took Xia Mian’s hand. “He arrived a long time ago and took care of all the formalities.”
Fu Lichen carried his luggage in one hand and some daily necessities in the other.
He followed the mother and daughter out of the ward.
Shen Yingshuang breathed a sigh of relief. After being unconscious in the hospital for several years, she was actually able to wake up and be discharged smoothly.
It's simply a miracle!
Fu Lichen stared at the woman's slender back, his gaze hardening.
He began to ponder a new question: how could he get her to move out of the Xia family home?
When their mother was discharged from the hospital, none of the three Xia brothers came to pick her up. Xia Mian had long since lost all feelings for those three heartless bastards.
But... she turned to look at her mother beside her; her mother probably wasn't used to it yet...
"Mom, my three older brothers..."
“They called and said they’re all very busy and don’t have time to come.” Shen Yingshuang held her daughter’s hand. “But you’re here. You can accompany your mother home from the hospital, it’s the same.”
"Hmm." Xia Mian opened the door of her Ferrari. "Mom, do you want to ride in my car or Uncle Fu's?"
Fu Lichen looked at Shen Yingshuang with a wronged expression and didn't say anything. He just stared at her like that.
Seeing this, Shen Yingshuang's heart softened. "I'll just ride in Mr. Fu's car."
"Alright then." Xia Mian didn't insist.
Fu Lichen smiled faintly and opened the car door.
He drove a black Maybach, understated yet luxurious, perfectly matching his usual style—reserved yet not to be underestimated.
Xia Mian's white Ferrari followed behind his car, smoothly arriving at the Xia family villa.
I originally thought that there would be at least a small welcome banquet when I returned to the Xia family.
However, upon entering the Xia family home, the atmosphere was cold and impersonal. Old Madam Xia was sitting on the sofa eating grapes. When she saw Shen Yingshuang enter, she glanced at her indifferently.
"You're back? It's your old room, but it's been uninhabited for so long, it needs cleaning. Come on up!"
"Madam Xia, my mother was just discharged from the hospital. You want her to clean her room herself?" Xia Mian was immediately annoyed. "Where is the housekeeper?"
"Oh, Auntie just happens to be off today." Old Madam Xia smiled meaningfully. "Isn't there you? You and your mother can clean together! You're so filial, you wouldn't be planning to neglect your mother, would you?"
Summer heat and dampness.
That old woman did it on purpose!
She grabbed Shen Yingshuang's hand and tried to lead her outside, saying, "Mom, let's go! You can stay at my place for now!"
"Mianmian, forget it. This is still the Xia family home, my home." Shen Yingshuang shook her head at Xia Mian. "Your brothers all live here, how can I not live here?"
"Mom, can't you see? Nobody in this family welcomes you. Look at her attitude! She's clearly trying to torment you. You've been her daughter-in-law for over twenty years, don't you understand her?" Xia Mian was truly exasperated.
I don't understand what my mother is thinking.
Isn't it obvious?
"Mianmian, don't talk about your grandma like that. She's an elder after all." Shen Yingshuang sighed. "Let's go back to our room first."
She went straight up the stairs, and Xia Mian had no choice but to follow her.
Fu Lichen picked up his luggage and was about to go upstairs.
Old Madam Xia stared at him, looking him up and down. "Who are you? Why are you coming upstairs?"
"Get this straight, this is our home, not just any man can come upstairs!"
"Don't you have any manners?"
Upon hearing Madam Xia's words, Shen Yingshuang retorted angrily, "Mom, this is Mr. Fu, Young Master Fu's uncle. He's a guest, can't you be a little more polite?"
"Madam Xia, I think you're the one who's ill-mannered," Xia Mian sneered. "All you do all day is spew profanities."
"Shen Yingshuang! Look at your good daughter, she has no manners at all. I'm her grandmother! I'm her elder!" Old Madam Xia angrily pointed at Xia Mian and yelled, "Get upstairs right now! Just seeing you makes me annoyed!"
Shen Yingshuang glanced at Xia Mian, "Mianmian, you... have such a bad relationship with your grandmother now."
"I thought you'd already seen it at the hospital—that my relationship with them couldn't be worse than it seemed." Xia Mian raised an eyebrow and smiled sarcastically. "I only hate that my surname is Xia!"
If her mother hadn't insisted on coming back to live with her, she wouldn't have wanted to step into this door for even a minute.
nausea!
It felt like even the air here was filled with Lu Lian'er's pungent odor.
Arriving at Shen Yingshuang's former bedroom, the moment the door was opened, a dusty smell filled the air, making one want to cough.
Xia Mian was just about to hire a cleaner.
Fu Lichen had already sent a message to the Fu family's butler. He held his phone up to Xia Mian's face, and Xia Mian was surprised to see how thoughtful he was.
"Uncle Fu, thank you so much!"
About twenty minutes later, two aunties arrived at the Xia family's house.
The aunt is very quick and efficient; she's an excellent cleaner.
In no time, the entire room was completely transformed.
The old clothes in Shen Yingshuang's wardrobe were all quite old, and Xia Mian asked her to get rid of them. Some of the furniture was also quite worn out.
Fu Lichen is even more ruthless!
They had new furniture delivered directly to them—new cabinets and a new dressing table.
Everything was replaced with a new set.
"Mr. Fu, you've gone to too much trouble."
Shen Yingshuang looked at the brand-new furniture with some bewilderment, "The old ones can be used too..."
"You deserve better." Fu Lichen typed this message on his phone and showed it to her.
Xia Mian glanced at Fu Lichen, then at Shen Yingshuang.
My mother must be a bit older than Fu Lichen, right?
Could it be that Uncle Fu... has feelings for Mother?
