Chapter 244 - Fu Hua Apologizes
"I didn't do much, I only went a little out of line because she scared me with her dog. I mean, how could she bring a dog into the house?" FangSu said as she refused to meet her brother's fierce gaze.
She felt a little guilty but she still cursed Jia Li in her head, for acting all pitiful and she didn't have any idea of what conspired before she stepped in.
Fu Hua could not tolerate that non-repentant look on her face and said to her directly, "You came to my house with a stranger without telling me, then you make my wife cry in our house and you're still acting like you're right? FangSu leave right now and in the future, there is no need to come here."
FangSu was shocked with the punishment Fu Hua just dished out to her. How could he ban her from coming to his house just because Jia Li cried a little?
"Brother, how can you treat me like this. This is so unfair!" FangSu cried out in an angry tone.
Bai Jun was disappointed with the treatment they received. The fatal blow to her was that Fu Hua didn't even recognize her and he didn't bother to take a look at her.
She felt that she had wasted her time by coming here only to be treated that way by Fu Hua.
"You should have thought about it before you brought a stranger to my house and bullied my wife. Leave before I call the security on you!" Fu Hua said to her angrily as green veins could be seen visible on his temples.
He was very angry and didn't want to see his sister anymore. He wondered what Jia Li must have passed through before he arrived.
FangSu stood still as tears slowly dripped from her eyes. She was stubborn and refused to leave. She felt grieved by her brother's treatment. He was mean even to her because of his wife and the more she thought about it, her hatred for Jia Li intensified.
Bai Jun saw that Fu Hua's face wasn't looking good as he was getting impatient, so she pulled on FangSu's arm and said in a low tone, "SuSu, let's leave."
FangSu was still reluctant to leave as she had an aggrieved gaze on her brother but Fu Hua did not look like he was going to soften his stance.
Bai Jun did not wait for FangSu to react and immediately pulled her to leave before they would be further embarrassed.
After they left his sight, Fu Hua picked up his phone and made a call. He instructed neither FangSu nor Bai Jun to be let into his house again without his permission.
When he was done with the phone call, he went up the stairs to find Jia Li and he was in time to see the housekeeper shutting the door to their bedroom.
"How is she?" Fu Hua asked in a low worried tone and his gaze was still cold.
The housekeeper bowed and replied, "Madam is fine, she wants to be alone at the moment so she asked me to leave."
Fu Hua glanced at the door to their bedroom before glancing back at the housekeeper and asked, "What happened?"
The housekeeper raised her head and explained word for word, what she heard and what she saw. And throughout the whole recounter process, Fu Hua's gaze turned colder.
"You can leave." Fu Hua said to her after listening and walked towards the door to their bedroom. He opened the door and walked inside.
The housekeeper sighed and only left after Fu Hua walked into the room. The housekeeper felt sad for Jia Li as she was bullied in her own house but she also liked how her master handled the case after she heard from the servants about Fu Hua banning his sister and her friend from coming over again.
When Fu Hua walked in, he saw Jia Li sitting up on the bed. She has stopped crying and wiped her tears but her eyes were still red and her eyes looked slightly swollen and maybe that's because she cried for a while.
Fu Hua approached her side and sat beside her before gently taking her hand in his. Jia Li did not refuse him but she refused to look at him either.
"I heard from the housekeeper on how FangSu disrespected you, I'm sorry about that. I had no idea she would be coming today until she got to the gate because my permission was needed to let her in. She also didn't tell me she was coming with someone. I'm sorry you were bullied by them." Fu Hua said in a low gentle tone.
Jia Li still didn't say anything, so Fu Hua added, "You don't have to worry about seeing her again because I banned her from coming over."
It was at this point that Jia Li glanced at him for the first time since he stepped in. She was surprised but because of the sadness still visible on her face, Fu Hua couldn't tell she was surprised.
Fu Hua thought that his apology and explanation worked, so he caressed her face before leaning in to kiss her forehead.
"I'm sorry for what you've been through today, it's all my fault. I'm going to freshen up, give me a few minutes." Fu Hua said before standing to his feet with a slight smile.
Jia Li who was now feeling slightly better, watched as his back disappeared into the inner room.
Truly, Jia Li felt hurt and disrespected by FangSu's actions and rude behavior and she had no idea how her emotions got the better of her.
Jia Li heard a notification sound from her phone and turned to glance at the nightstand and saw her phone screen lit up. She stretched her hand to pick it up.
Glancing at her phone screen, she saw an SMS from Fu Hua. She opened the message and saw a short message, telling her his sister was at the gate and he would be home in less than 30 minutes.
Jia Li had no idea he sent her a text as she was not bothered whether he informed her of his sister's visit or not but she felt warmed up with his actions and no longer blamed him.
