They arrived at the Fu family's old residence in silence.
As soon as I entered the door, Grandma Fu rushed over.
She looked at Fu Nanxiao, trembling with anger: "Nanxiao, you aborted the child?"
Fu Nanxiao frowned: "Who told you that?"
Grandma Fu raised her voice: "Never mind who told me, I'm just asking you, is it true!"
Fu Nanxiao said calmly, "I've already said I don't want children."
"You...you!"
Grandma Fu was so angry that she fell backward.
Jiang Yilai quickly reached out to support her.
But after regaining her balance, Grandma Fu shoved Jiang Yilai away and scolded, "You too! You can't even protect your own child, what kind of mother are you!"
Jiang Yilai's expression froze.
She pursed her lips, and before she could speak, Fu Nanxiao had already pulled her behind him.
His cold eyes looked at Old Madam Fu: "It was I who didn't want the child and forced her to abort it."
"Fu Nanxiao!"
Grandma Fu pointed at him, speechless.
After a long while, she burst into tears: "Is it because of what happened when you were a child? I knew it, it was all that wicked woman's fault, otherwise you wouldn't be in the orphanage..."
"grandmother."
Fu Nanxiao interrupted her coldly, "I don't want to hear about these things anymore."
Grandma Fu suddenly sat back down on the sofa, silently shedding tears.
Jiang Yilai's heart stirred upon hearing this.
Fu Nanxiao doesn't want children because of his childhood experiences.
Grandma Fu did mention before that Fu Nanxiao had spent two years in an orphanage...
What happened during those two years?
The meal was tasteless and unappetizing.
After finishing their meal, Grandma Fu said to Jiang Yilai, "Yilai, come upstairs with me, I have something to tell you."
Just as Jiang Yilai was about to get up, Fu Nanxiao grabbed her arm.
He frowned: "Grandma, I told you this has nothing to do with her."
Grandma Fu slammed her hand on the table: "What? I can't control whether you have a baby or not, but I don't even have the right to chat with my granddaughter-in-law?"
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Jiang Yilai patted Fu Nanxiao's hand, signaling him to let go.
"It's okay, I'll talk to Grandma."
Fu Nanxiao squeezed her arm and said in a low voice, "If there's anything, just come out. I'll be waiting for you downstairs."
Grandma Fu said irritably, "What do you mean? Are you afraid I'll make things difficult for your daughter-in-law?!"
Fu Nanxiao glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.
Grandma Fu nearly fainted again.
Jiang Yilai quickly went to help her up: "Grandma, let's go upstairs."
Grandma Fu glared at Fu Nanxiao before turning around and going upstairs.
Upon arriving at the study, Old Mrs. Fu sat down on the sofa first.
She patted the seat next to her: "Lai Lai, sit down."
Jiang Yilai sat down.
Grandma Fu sighed: "I was just taking my anger out on you. I know Nan Xiao has a stubborn temper, and it's hard to change his mind once he's made up his mind. You definitely can't go against him."
Jiang Yilai smiled but didn't say anything.
"Have you recovered well recently?"
"It's all better now."
"That's good. A miscarriage is like postpartum recovery; you need to take good care of yourself and be extra careful so it won't affect your next pregnancy."
"I will."
Jiang Yilai smiled politely, unsure of what to say.
She always knew that Old Madam Fu cared about having offspring and wanted a great-grandson.
But hearing these words still made her feel a little disheartened.
She had thought that Old Mrs. Fu was very kind to her, but her attitude after the incident at the Jiang's Building, and what happened just now, really made her feel bad.
