"Ningning, you must be tired after such a long drive! We've prepared a meal at home. We'll eat when we get back, and then you can get some rest," Wei Qiuwan said to Huo Jinning with a loving expression.
Hearing this, Huo Jinning gently shook her head, indicating that she wasn't tired. "Thank you for your concern, Aunt Fu. I feel fine, not tired at all. It wasn't for very long."
"What a good child." Wei Qiuwan nodded, then suddenly realized that she hadn't introduced Huo Jinning's family yet, so she quickly added, "By the way, Ningning, this is your Uncle Fu."
"Hello, Uncle Fu!" Huo Jinning greeted Fu Wen very politely.
"Okay, sure." Fu Wen tried to make his expression look more friendly and approachable.
But perhaps due to his personality, he, like Fu Qinian, doesn't smile much on a daily basis and always has a perpetually stern face, giving people a feeling of being unapproachable.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, Wei Qiuwan couldn't help but glare at Fu Wen and warned, "You should smile. If you scare Ningning, I'll send you back to live in the old house."
"Wife..." Fu Wen called out softly to Wei Qiuwan while reaching out to grab her arm, acting like a child.
[Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu are showing off their affection.]
[I never expected Uncle Fu to be so affectionate.]
[I wonder what will happen if Fu Qinian does this?]
Huo Jinning looked at Fu Qinian with a lewd expression.
[If he were to act cute and affectionate with me, I'd give him my life.]
[Hehe, but that's impossible; he can't act cute like that.]
[It seems impossible just thinking about it.]
[But I suddenly really want to watch it, what should I do?]
"Dad, Mom, let's go home! It's getting late, Ningning must be hungry." Fu Qinian looked at the three people in front of him, feeling a sense of helplessness.
At this moment, Fu Qinian muttered to himself, "Huo Jinning is such a delusional woman! How could I possibly act coquettishly with her? It's utterly absurd."
However, fate is always dramatic, and later, reality slapped him hard in the face.
"Yes, okay, we really can't let our Ningning go hungry." Wei Qiuwan gently pulled her hand away from Fu Wen's and said with concern.
Afterwards, Fu Qinian and Huo Jinning got into the same car they had come in, while Fu Wen and Wei Qiuwan rode in another car together. The four of them split into two groups and headed towards the Fu family's residence.
Once in the car, Huo Jinning finally had some free time to savor the "big gossip" she had just missed.
[This...this...]
Huo Jinning was so angry that she didn't know what to say for a moment...
[That Fu Bo actually drugged Grandpa Fu.]
Fu Qinian's expression immediately changed upon hearing this, but fortunately Huo Jinning was too busy eating melons to notice.
[He discovered that Grandpa Fu wanted to make a will, and that he intended to leave all his assets to Fu Qinian.]
[He feared that Fu Qinian would truly control the Fu family, so he drugged Grandpa Fu, causing him to be hospitalized and unable to make a will.]
[Fearing that Fu Qinian and Fu Wen might become suspicious if Grandpa Fu suddenly passed away, they administered a slow-acting drug, gradually eroding Grandpa Fu's body. Ultimately…]
[The nurse also administered the medication via IV drip, directly into the bloodstream. That nurse was Gu Chaochao; how hateful!]
[Should I say this to Fu Qi?]
Huo Jinning frowned, lost in thought.
After receiving the confirmation, Fu Qinian sent a message to his childhood friend Song Shi without hesitation.
This childhood friend was not only close to him, but also Grandpa Fu's attending physician.
Fu Qinian instructed Wang Shichu to pay special attention to nurse Gu Chaochao and requested that he personally replace the original medication after the nurse finished hanging up the IV drip.
In addition, one must act with caution to avoid arousing any unnecessary suspicion.
Knowing that his second uncle was administering a slow-acting medication, Fu Qinian was less anxious and felt a little relieved. Although he was worried about his grandfather's health, now was not the time to act rashly. He would wait until his grandfather recovered before making any plans. For now, he could just keep an eye on him.
After everything was arranged, Fu Qinian turned his gaze to Huo Jinning, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
He quietly observed her every move, noticing that she would sometimes furrow her brows and sometimes scratch her hair, as if she were trying to think about something.
This scene amused Fu Qinian, who couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
And so some time passed.
“Um, Fu Qinian…” Huo Jinning began, her eyes revealing a hint of hesitation and conflict.
Just then, Li Mo, who was sitting in the driver's seat, said softly, "Young Master, Miss Huo, we have arrived."
Fu Qinian nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, but his gaze remained fixed on Huo Jinning, as if waiting for her to continue speaking.
However, Huo Jinning stopped speaking temporarily because of Li Mo's interruption, but her expression became more and more hesitant.
Seeing this, Fu Qinian asked knowingly, "Ningning, what were you trying to say to me just now?"
Upon hearing Fu Qinian's question, Huo Jinning felt a pang of anxiety, unsure of what to say.
Just as she was pondering how to answer, a gentle voice reached her ears—
"Little New Year, why isn't Ningning getting off the bus yet?"
It turned out to be Wei Qiuwan, who had just gotten out of her car.
"Aunt Fu, we're coming right now," Huo Jinning replied quickly and got out of the car through the door Li Mo had opened.
Everything proceeded as naturally as usual. Huo Jinning habitually walked to the back of the wheelchair, preparing to push Fu Qinian forward.
However, upon seeing this, Wei Qiuwan hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, saying, "Husband, go push our son instead, don't tire Ningning out."
"It's alright, Aunt Fu, Uncle Fu, it's not heavy at all, I'm perfectly fine," Huo Jinning explained with a smile.
[This is electric; I don't need to exert any effort at all.]
Aunt Fu is so kind!
I love it.
Fu Qinian glanced at his gentle mother and wondered to himself: Was Huo Jinning's evaluation of his mother somewhat undeserved?
You know, her mother is by no means gentle in everyday life. She is generous, easygoing and unpretentious. If Huo Jinning had seen her mother's true self, she probably wouldn't describe her as gentle anymore.
Why isn't Fu Qinian like Aunt Fu?
[He's so cold and aloof every day, otherwise he would have found a girlfriend long ago, and I wouldn't be needed to pretend to be her.]
"In that case, I'll have to trouble Ningning."
Wei Qiuwan did not insist on it, because she understood that this was her future daughter-in-law's care and consideration for her son, and she felt quite good about it.
The four of them then entered the villa together.
