Rose Manor

No matter how much Fu Jianfang cried and fought in the old house, it was useless. The old man was determined to make her suffer, otherwise he didn't know how much trouble she would cause.

Fu Jianfang staggered after him outside the old man's bedroom, banging on the door and crying, not caring about the issue of face and shame: "Dad, you can't do this to me. I am your only daughter. When my mother was alive, she was the most It’s me who hurts. Mom would be so sad if she saw her in the sky. Dad, please give me another chance..."

"Little sister, Dad needs to rest after taking medicine." Fu Qizhen frowned and advised from the side, "Don't disturb his sleep here."

Fu Hua . If you follow the rules, maybe he will relent the next day. If you do this, it will be counterproductive."

"Go away!" Fu Jianfang glared at them fiercely. Don't think she didn't know. They seemed to be persuading, but in fact they were gloating in their hearts. With just one word from the old man, all the projects in her hands were divided between the two of them. I'm afraid they were eager to let the old man do it. The punishment is more severe, "Stop pretending to persuade me here, the cat cries and the mouse fakes mercy!"

Fu Qizhen's face turned ugly: "You are a person who doesn't distinguish between good and bad."

Fu Huaxian didn't even say anything, threw up his sleeves and left.

After the two left, Fu Jianfang knocked on the door: "Dad, listen to my explanation, Dad..."

She didn't understand that she just knocked over the tray and taught Shen Jia a small lesson. How could it be worthy of the old man treating her like this? Didn't the old man always dislike Shen Jia Nian? Shen Jia Nian has no power behind her and has nothing to rely on. Marrying Fu Jichen will only be a drag. Why should the old man protect her?

Fu Jianfang cried so hard that her bedroom door never opened. It seemed that there was really no room for change in this matter.

She was disheartened and left dejectedly. She couldn't help crying when she thought about it. It didn't matter how coldly the old man treated her, how could he deprive her of the project she had worked so hard on in the company!

After seizing power, how can she gain a foothold in the company if she goes back later?

That was something she had worked hard for half her life to get!

After coming out of the hospital, Fu Jichen had no intention of returning to his old house and asked the housekeeper to drive them to Yunding Palace.

The housekeeper glanced in the rearview mirror, remembered the old man's instructions, and asked Fu Jichen with concern: "Is the young lady okay?"

Shen Jia Nian was exhausted physically and mentally after going to the hospital. After getting in the car, she fell into Fu Jichen's arms and closed her eyes to rest, but she didn't fall asleep. When she heard the housekeeper's voice, she squinted her eyes.

Fu Jichen's voice rang out from above her head. It was probably because he was afraid of disturbing her that he kept his voice slightly lower: "Have you told the old man about us entering the obstetrics and gynecology department?"

The butler tightened his grip on the steering wheel and sighed to himself, there really was nothing he could hide from the eldest young master.

"As soon as you entered the doctor's office, the old man called me and was concerned about the young lady's condition." The housekeeper smiled and said truthfully, "I told him what I saw."

"It was lucky today that Jianian was not hurt. Tell the old man that Jianian and I will not go back when we see my aunt again in the future, and we will go visit him another day."

The butler didn't dare to reply, so he just laughed twice in response.

The eldest young master's intention is very obvious. He will no longer interact with Fu Jianfang, and there will be no need to meet with him. He will stagger the time to show his filial piety to the old man and avoid contact with Fu Jianfang.

It was very late when she got home, and Shen Jia Nian was drowsy. Fu Jichen helped her take a bath. Lying on the bed, he grabbed her ankles and looked closely at her under the lamp.

The bowl of fish soup that was poured over her body was warm, so there was nothing wrong with it, but the casserole had a good insulation effect, and the hot soup inside made it scald red. Fu Jichen gently stroked it with his fingertips: "Does it still hurt?"

Shen Jia Nian was almost asleep. Hearing this, she tried to open her eyes, grabbed his arm, and motioned for him to lie down and rest: "It doesn't hurt very much. Don't worry, just go to sleep."

Fu Jichen lay on his side next to her, placed his palms on her belly through her pajamas, and then put his arms around her waist.

Shen Jia Nian huddled in his arms and said in a soft voice, "Did it scare you?"

"Yeah." Fu Jichen replied with a bit hoarse voice.

When he came out of the tea room, he looked up and saw her in a state of embarrassment. His breathing stopped, for fear that something might happen to her. When he found out that it was Fu Jianfang who had done it, he really wanted to throw those things at her rebelliously and let her experience the same thing.

"Don't be stupid in the future." Fu Jichen said with lingering fear, "No matter what situation you encounter, protecting yourself is the first priority."

"Are you blaming me for protecting Honghong and getting yourself injured?"

"I don't mean to blame you." Fu Jichen kneaded her waist twice, "What you did is right, but you must ensure your own safety."

Shen Jianian said "Oh". She didn't think much about it at the time, it was all an instinctive reaction.

Fu Jichen sighed softly. He knew that even if she agreed, she might not follow her orders. He would still have to watch her in person and watch her every step of the way.

Shen Jianian waited for a while, but didn't hear him say anything else and slowly fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, early in the morning, the sound of a car rang in the courtyard of the villa. Shen Jia Nian was woken up and thought it was Fu Jichen leaving for the company. As soon as he got out of bed, he saw a man coming out of the cloakroom.

"You haven't left yet?" Shen Jianian blinked. She just heard the sound of a car driving in the yard. Could it be that she was dreaming?

"It's still early." Fu Jichen adjusted the lock of his watch, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?" "Sleep well."

Shen Jia Nian went to the bathroom to wash up, and Fu Jichen was waiting for her in the room. Soon she came out, and the two went downstairs together. When they got out of the elevator, they heard Cheng Jin greeting people, with a very polite tone.

"Put everything there. I'll pack it up later. You sit down and have a cup of tea first..."

Another voice was very familiar: "No, I'll go back and deliver the things after the things are delivered. Say hello to the eldest young master and young lady for me."

Walking to the living room, Shen Jianian recognized the person who was the housekeeper who sent them to the hospital last night. He was from the old house. He had a kind smile on his face and was saying goodbye to Cheng Jin.

When he saw Fu Jichen and his wife, the housekeeper did not leave in a hurry and said hello to them.

"These are..." Shen Jianian looked at the sofa and coffee table in the living room that were filled with things. There was no room for them, and there were a lot of things piled on the carpet.

The housekeeper quickly replied: "The old man ordered people to buy them. They are all things you can use. There are still some things that may take a few days to arrive."

Fu Jichen: "There is nothing missing in the villa. Don't bother calling the old man when you go back. His good health is better than anything else."

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, unable to tell whether his words were polite or serious.

Is the eldest young master still angry about what happened last night?

After thinking for a moment, the housekeeper said a few more words: "Last night...after you left, the old man punished the fourth girl and asked her to send the two children to the old house. She will not be allowed to discipline her in the future, and she is also asked to stay in the ancestral hall. She was punished by kneeling, and she was let out when she knew she was wrong. This morning she was already kneeling inside. She was not allowed to come out to eat and was only sent in by the nanny. Also, all the projects she had on hand were divided between the second master and the third master. Lord."

Fu Jichen raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. It was incredible that the old man could be so cruel as to punish his only daughter.

In the past, Fu Jianfang provoked her repeatedly, but he didn't take any serious action with her, just for the sake of the old man's face. Now even the old man is disappointed in her, who can blame her.

When the second uncle's youngest son Fu Yunhan lost Junshan's shares in a gambling abroad, the old man only sent him to the army for training and did not let him kneel in the ancestral hall.

Now Fu Jianfang might even want to die.

She was nearly fifty years old and was kneeling in the ancestral hall. When word spread, she was too embarrassed to see anyone.

After the butler finished speaking, he was about to leave: "The old man is waiting for my reply. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Shen Jianian asked Aunt Cheng to see him off, and he followed a few steps out and explained to the housekeeper in a low voice: "Fu Jichen doesn't mean to blame grandpa. You can thank grandpa for us when you go back. He has a heart."

"I understand, I understand." With her words, the housekeeper felt relieved and agreed, "The young master just looks cold, so there is no doubt about his filial piety towards the old man."

Shen Jia Nian went back to the house and went to the restaurant to have breakfast. Fu Jichen pulled out a chair for her: "What did you just secretly say to the housekeeper?"

"There is no secret." Shen Jianian picked up the cup and took a sip of hot milk. "I told the housekeeper, don't misinterpret your meaning. You have no grudges against grandpa."

"That's it?"

"Otherwise, what else can there be?" Shen Jianian licked his lips.

"Are you so afraid that I will be misunderstood by the old man?" Fu Jichen asked with a smile.

"Grandpa is partial to you, and it's not like you have no feelings for him, so why add some conflicts." Shen Jianian said, "His health is good and bad. To be honest, as each day passes, it's not good to always call him Annoying.”

After she finished speaking, after a long time, the cup of milk was finished. Fu Jichen's eyes were still fixed on her face, and the breakfast in front of him remained untouched.

Shen Jia Nian tore off the dough of Xiao Long Bao and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing that he was still stunned, he said uneasily: "Why are you looking at me like this? Did I say the wrong thing?"

"I thought of something -" Fu Jichen finally responded, his eyebrows were soft and the corners of his mouth were raised.

Shen Jianian asked: "What are you talking about?"

Fu Jichen stretched out his hand and wiped the milk from the corner of her mouth with his fingertips. His voice was so gentle that it could melt the winter snow: "If you have such a wife, what more can a husband ask for?"

Shen Jianian said "ha". She didn't think that she was a virtuous and capable wife, but that she needed his care in every aspect.

"Mr. Fu, your filter on me may be as thick as a city wall."

Shen Jianian grinned at him and commented.
