“Mom, you can keep the bracelet for the time being. It is indeed inconvenient for me to take the bracelet with me at work.” Shen Qieyi rejected immediately.
From the conversation between Grandpa Fu and her mother-in-law, Shen Qieyi knew that this bracelet was very important, symbolizing the status of the Fu family’s daughter-in-law.
It was just that Fu Yao and her were only husband and wife on paper. If she accepted something like this, she would definitely have to return it back.
In this case, it was better for her to reject it. This way, Fu Yao would still feel that she knew her place.
“Silly child, this bracelet should be yours. You’re just taking what belongs to you. No one asked you to wear it all day long.” Grandpa Fu insisted.
Shen Qieyi looked embarrassed. She was very clear about Fu Yao’s grandfather’s character. If she continued to reject it, he would be unhappy and would also notice something.
She looked at Fu Yao for help. He was expressionless, and his angular face was full of indifference.
It was as if everything had nothing to do with him.
When Shen Qieyi looked at him, Fu Yao opened his thin lips slightly and said, “This represents the Fu family’s wife. You are my wife. Since Grandpa wants you to take it, then take it.”
Shen Qieyi was stunned. He was willing to let her take the bracelet that symbolized the Fu family’s daughter-in-law?
She looked at Fu Yao in a daze. His eyes were as deep as the bottomless abyss, and it was impossible to see through what he was thinking.
She obviously knew that Fu Yao did not admit her identity. He was probably only helping her out of the situation.
But soon, Shen Qieyi denied this thought. Fu Yao probably felt the insistence of his grandfather, so he let her take it for the time being and would return it to him when they went back.
In any case, Fu Laoye’s wish was the most important.
“Okay.” Looking at Fu Yao, Shen Qieyi finally nodded her head. When she was by his side, she always acted rather submissive and obedient.
The smile on Fu Laoye’s face deepened as he reminded the two of them to live a good life.
After chatting for a long time, they started to eat.
Fu Yingjie and Fu Yipin went downstairs together. Fu Yipin only simply greeted Shen Qieyi, then ignored her, but she smiled and greeted Fu Yao.
Shen Qieyi felt embarrassed. Even though she was mentally prepared, she still felt somewhat upset.
She struggled to keep a smile on her face. When the food was served, some people sat at the table. Shen Qieyi felt that her face was sore from smiling.
Since the Fu Family was a big family, naturally, there would be rules when it came to taking seats.
In the middle was grandfather’s seat, followed by the mother’s and the father’s. The last two were Shen Qieyi and Fu Yao. Fu Yingjie and Fu Yipin sat opposite them.
After Fu Laoye started eating, everyone picked up their chopsticks one after another.
Fu Yao placed a piece of braised pork into Shen Qieyi’s bowl. His gaze was soft as he said, “You’ve been too tired recently. You should eat more.”
It was an unprecedented gesture. Shen Qieyi got goose bumps from head to toe.
“Thank you.” Shen Qieyi lowered her head and stuffed the rice into her mouth. She could only try her best to ignore Fu Yao’s kindness to her.
She was afraid that the more she paid attention, the more uncomfortable she would be.
Everything was seen by the old man. He nodded with satisfaction and his eyes were full of smiles.
While they were eating, the family talked a lot. Shen Qieyi kept being asked about her situation.
Shen Qieyi answered with a smile, being polite. Hearing her words, Fu Yao calmly put another piece of meat into Shen Qieyi’s bowl and said, “Eat more.”
He looked at her with deep affection, but at the back of that look was coldness. Her reaction was the same as before, staying in character as an obedient wife.
“Fu Yao, she obviously doesn’t want to eat meat, but you still put meat in her bowl. She will get fat if she eats more.” Fu Yingjie pouted, and there was a funny look in her eyes.
Shen Qieyi’s hand suddenly stopped because of her words, and she almost dropped a piece of vegetable.
She knew that she couldn’t escape.
“Fat”, this was a sensitive word for Shen Qieyi, and when Fu Yingjie said it, she was definitely mocking her.
Shen Qieyi never spent much time with her sister-in-law, but every time, she would deliberately satirize her.
The Fu family didn’t like her, so their family didn’t even give her the least respect. They would only mercilessly trample on the softness of her heart.
Fu Yao raised his head, his gaze cold. “You’re talking too much.”
His voice was as low as usual. Shen Qieyi couldn’t tell the emotion in his tone, and he didn’t know if he was helping her.
Fu Yingjie whispered, “I’m just telling the truth.”
“She’s still young and has no children yet. It’s okay to eat more.” Their mother also said. She also gave Fu Yingjie a look and then continued, “But Qieyi, you do need to go on diet.”
Shen Qieyi’s hand trembled again and her voice shook. Finally, she just nodded and responded, “Okay.”
“What diet? They’re all children, and in the future, she’ll need to have babies. I think she looks better like this.” Fu Laoye said and looked at Shen Qieyi with a smile. “Good girl, eat more.”
Shen Qieyi nodded and looked at the old man with gratitude.
She could tell that he was helping her out.
“Qieyi, I heard that you are still working in andrology, right?” A few minutes later, Fu Yingjie spoke again.
When she asked, she blinked her eyes as if she didn’t understand. “Now that you’re Mrs. Fu, why are you still working there? if people found out, they will say that my brother can’t even afford to provide for a woman.”
Fu Yingjie emphasized “andrology” and her following words revealed that she worked with male patients, embarrassing Fu Yao and the Fu family.
“I… ”
“Maybe she’s bored and lonely, so she chose to work. I believe she can afford to earn money herself.” Fu Yipin said with a smile.
Bored and lonely, work to earn money.
It sounded normal, but when they were put together with Fu Yipin’s tone, the meaning changed a little.
They were not referring to a doctor, but more like describing a filthy woman.
Shen Qieyi’s face turned pale, and she looked at the two people in shock.
The siblings were echoing each other. It was obvious that they were deliberately looking down on her. But why won’t they let her go?
She could clearly feel the cruelty of the three Fu siblings.
She knew that they hated her. If it was just because they looked down on her, she could endure it. However, they hinted that she was dirty, and Shen Qieyi couldn’t bear it at all.
Shen Qieyi looked down at the food in her bowl for a long time. The braised pork in the bowl had piled up into a small hill. She usually loved to eat, but she couldn’t eat even one piece.
The two people were still talking one after another.
“If you need, I have some friends that have problems. I can introduce them to you. It might help with your business.”
