The Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO

Chapter 259 - The Old Man's Anger

"Can I see your sketch?" Fu Hua asked curiously after Jia Li relaxed her back on the seat to show that she was through with sketching.

"Sorry you can't, it's for my eyes only." Jia Li teased with a smile as she closed the sketchbook.

"What's the thing I'm seeing on the sketchbook?" Fu Hua asked. He wasn't seeing the sketchbook cover well, and it looked unfamiliar to him, as he can't remember ever seeing it.

Jia Li raised the sketchbook and showed him the cover. Then she asked with a smile, "You mean this?"

"Yes. I haven't seen it before, did you get a new one?" Fu Hua asked in a curious tone.

"I've always had it." Jia Li revealed as she put the sketchbook down..

Fu Hua was surprised and asked, "How come I've never seen it before?"

"It's special." Jia Li replied with a mysterious smile.

Her words and her actions were enough to ignite the utmost curiosity in anyone and Fu Hua was not an exception.

Jia Li had no idea that Fu Hua has already taken note of the sketch book's cover and was going to find it later.

Fu Hua and Jia Li chatted and takes about work and then their baby.

"Did she kick a lot today?" Fu Hua asked with a gentle countenance.

"Yes, she did. She was super active today and caused me some pain." Jia Li replied as she picked up her tablet from the position she placed it.

"I think she missed me." Fu Hua said with a proud smile.

"Don't get ahead of yourself. She was super active because Ocean, Archie and Avery played with her, it has nothing to do with you." Jia Li said, bursting his bubbles without mercy.

Fu Hua's facial expression changed. "You're becoming so bold, just wait till I come back and punish you."

Jia Li immediately turned to glance at her baby bump and said while creating it to the amazement of Fu Hua.

"Baby, did you hear what your father said? He said he's going to punish your mother when he gets back, he is a bully, we need to report him."

Since the matter involved his daughter, how could Fu Hua let Jia Li tarnish his reputation? He immediately said to her, "Sweetheart, what are you teaching our child?" action

"Didn't you say you would punish me? You dare to threaten your pregnant wife, you're sure a big bully." Jia Li said to him with a reason gaze.

Fu Hua gave up and apologized, "Alright, I'm sorry. Don't teach our child bad things."

Jia Li turned to glance at her baby bump and said to the child, "Baby, your father has repented, forgive him."

Before they ended the call, Fu Hua reminded Jia Li to eat before going to bed.

"I know, thank you! You try to get some rest, good night."

Fu Hua had no idea that his wife was all alone in the house or he would have caused a big commotion by now.

After the call, Jia Li went to the kitchen to heat some food for herself in the microwave. After serving herself, she began to eat.

She took her drugs after eating and sent the plates to the kitchen sink. She tries to clean up the things she used but her baby bump was in the way.

She was a little frustrated as she tried to stand at her side to wash the plates but she failed. She refused to give up and tried different ways to clean everything up. And at last, she left the kitchen for her bedroom an hour later.

She was so tired that she didn't want to have a bath but she had to.

Once her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep, meanwhile, the Fu residence was being thrown upside down by the old man.

He just learned from Butler Lu that the servants he assigned to take care of Jia Li and Fu Hua's needs were back.

He was so angry that he asked for the housekeeper to come and explain herself. Housekeeper Zu explained the details of the call to him.

"Are you saying that Jia Li is all alone in that house by this time?" Grandfather Fu asked as a hint of dangerous glint shone on his face.

He was more concerned about Jia Li being all alone in the big house when it was already late and to top it all, she was heavily pregnant. What if an accident happens?

Housekeeper Zu was so scared of the cold air the Old man was emitting and fell to her knees before hitting her head on the cold tiles.

"Old master I am guilty of neglecting the duties you assigned to me, please punish me."

Housekeeper Zu was so scared but she had to ask for punishment because she deserved it. Thinking about how her heavily pregnant mistress was going to spend the night alone in that house with only the soldiers standing guard outside, she discovered it was a big mistake.

She didn't dare to reveal the plan Jia Li had, since it was a secret between them and it was not supposed to be revealed to anybody.

"You and the servants will be punished severely!" Grandfather Fu said as he banged his fists on his desk angrily. He was seething with rage.

Butler Lu who has been standing quietly at the side immediately intervened. He too was curious as to the person that ordered the servants.

He knew it wouldn't pass Fu Hee and Fu FangSu but his suspicion was on FangSu as Fu Hee wouldn't dare to do anything like that unless she didn't want her life anymore.

"Master, please calm down. Right now, the Miss is alone at home, we have to send her servants back immediately, their punishment can come later."

Being reminded of how his innocent granddaughter-in-law was probably scared of staying alone in that big house, Grandfather was angrier.

He got to his feet and said while pointing at his Butler, "Fine! Send the servants back immediately. I don't care what time it is now, get them out of here immediately!"

Butler Lu helped Housekeeper Zu, who was already shivering to get on her feets, when the old man added angrily, "I will give you 20 minutes to send the servants away and find out who made the call, and the person that gave that idea."

"Yes, Master." Butler Lu said as he bowed to Grandfather Fu along with Housekeeper Zu who was scared to meet the old man's frightening gaze.

"Someone dares to sneak around under my nose and punish my people, what a death wish being asked for! Drag the traitor and the accomplice here for me to see!" Grandfather Fu said and waved his hands for them to leave at once.

The old man was very angry that he couldn't sit anymore and walked around his study while waiting for answers.
