Addicted to Love, Mr. Fu’s Newly Married Wife

Chapter 1445 Good acting skills

"By the way, where is Mr. Fu? He hasn't come back yet. He is so busy that he doesn't even care about his wife's pregnancy? Xiaoxiao, is he really as good to you as the rumors say?"

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the uncle in front of her who had a smile on his face but an ambiguous look in his eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, with a bit of sarcasm and disdain in her smile.

"Uncle, what you said is wrong. I'm just pregnant. It's not a dangerous thing. It's impossible for Fu Yanchen to stop working just because I'm pregnant? The company is so big and supports so many people. What will happen if he doesn't work?"

"My nephew-in-law is so busy. This villa, this coffee table, this... decoration, wow, wow, not bad, not bad... I am a little reluctant to leave."

Xu Xiaoxiao frowned, "Uncle...are you planning to stay here for a long time, or are you going to put down roots here?"

Her words fell softly, but they were like a sharp blade in the cold wind, piercing people's hearts.

Upon hearing this, the man's smile widened instead of diminishing, as if he was not aware of the sharpness in his niece's words at all.

"Niece, niece, you are being so polite. I have finally come here, so I must meet my niece-in-law and reminisce about the old times, right? I am waiting for him here out of my good intentions."

"After all, blood is thicker than water, and the blood relationship between us cannot be severed. In the future, we must keep in touch more often, and don't let this family relationship become estranged and make others laugh at us."

As he spoke, he leisurely shook the teacup in his hand, but his eyes kept looking around, as if he was looking for something.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao sneered even more in her heart. This uncle's personality is such that he would not come here without a reason. He must have some purpose for coming here this time.

Sure enough....there is a purpose.

Xu Xiaoxiao spoke, her words were cold and decisive, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying an unquestionable force.

She looked straight into her uncle's eyes, which were shining with determination and unyielding spirit, as if announcing an unshakable decision.

"Uncle, I think we don't need to keep in touch. Back then, my sisters and I were young and ignorant, without anyone to rely on, and you never showed up. Now we have come this far step by step, and we are no longer the children who need protection. Grandma is our elder, and it would be unfilial if I don't support her. I will take care of her myself. You... have your own children, so you don't need us to worry about them."

"Now that you are no longer interested in taking care of grandma and just want to lead a good life for your family, let me take on the responsibility of taking care of grandma."

"Grandma is doing very well with us. The past between you and her, whether it was gratitude or hatred, has now come to an end,"

"From now on...she...will not be your responsibility. There was no intersection between you and me before, and there will be no intersection in the future. Just like the wind passing by without leaving a trace, we should be well and not disturb each other."

After saying this, Xu Xiaoxiao bowed slightly, which was a courtesy to her uncle and also a firm expression of his decision. Her eyes revealed a maturity and determination beyond her age, which made people involuntarily feel awe.

When the uncle heard this, his expression changed slightly. "Xiaoxiao, I care about you too, but at that time... you should understand."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, and a barely perceptible sneer flashed in her eyes.

She shook her head slightly, with a tone of unquestionable firmness: "Uncle, that's not how it should be said. Whether you care or not is not determined by words, but by actual actions."

"Grandma raised you with great difficulty, even neglecting her own children, and you... chose to escape when she needed help the most."

"Now, although I am pregnant and have some inconveniences, I have my own arrangements for taking care of grandma. Uncle, don't bother. There are dozens of people in the Fu family. Can't they take care of grandma alone?"

When the uncle heard this, his expression changed slightly, but then he put on a smiling face again, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Xiaoxiao, look at what you said, uncle really cares about you. At that time, uncle also had his own difficulties. It's not that I didn't want to care, but I really had no choice."

"From what uncle said, now... do you have a solution?"

"Hey, hey, hey, no, no."

"It's just... aren't you pregnant? You're pregnant, this is a great joy, uncle is happy for you too."

"My pregnancy and grandma's presence in our home won't conflict, right? Besides, Fu Yanchen is the master of this home, he... didn't even say it's inconvenient, how do you know it's inconvenient?"

"Xiaoxiao, your uncle really wants to take her back to take care of her. After all, grandma is so old, how can she live without someone to accompany her? Moreover, although servants can help with some things, they are not relatives after all. How can they take care of grandma as carefully and thoughtfully as family members?

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands unconsciously, as if this would make his words more convincing.

There was a hint of expectation in his eyes, a sincere and heartfelt expectation that made people feel that he was really considering his grandmother's life and health.

If Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know something about this person, she would have really believed it.

Xu Xiaoxiao was not moved by his words. She looked at her uncle coldly, her tone full of determination: "Uncle, you don't have to say anything more. I have already made arrangements for grandma. She will live well here. I know your purpose very well."

"As for you, if you really want to, you should visit her more often and spend time with her instead of just thinking about taking her back as a bargaining chip to ask us for money.

"You are a family, yes, but between family members, what is more important is understanding and respect, not blaming each other and calculating."

When the uncle heard this, his face turned embarrassed. There was a hint of coldness and disdain in Xu Xiaoxiao's words. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and she looked directly into the uncle's slightly panicked eyes.

"Don't expect me to give you money. I... don't have any money."

Although her voice was not loud, it was extremely firm, as if every word was spoken after careful consideration.

She went on to say, "Fu Yanchen is the one who takes care of grandma at home. He handles everything in an orderly manner. If you have the guts, go ask him for money."

This sentence was like a blockbuster bomb, exploding in the air and making the surrounding atmosphere solemn.

However, when she mentioned the name Fu Yanchen, a subtle smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of her mouth.

This smile contained both pride in Fu Yanchen and a warning.

The smile on Xu Xiaoxiao's face seemed to tell her uncle that Fu Yanchen was not someone who could be easily provoked. He had powerful abilities and influence, and not everyone could compete with him.

"Of course, you need to have nine lives to go find Fu Yanchen, otherwise... hehe, Fu Yanchen's office building is on the 18th floor!" Xu Xiaoxiao said with a slight smile on her lips.

Although her tone was relaxed, as if she was just saying it casually, the threat implicit in her words was obvious.

It's like an invisible sword hanging directly above the opponent's head. If he is not careful, it will fall down and take his life.

People like this are always afraid of death and will naturally back off when they hear such words.

Sure enough, my uncle's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and even a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He swallowed hard and a gurgling sound came from his throat, obviously he was very scared.

Not only that, his eyes began to flicker, as if he was hesitating whether to really go find Fu Yanchen. After all, compared with his own life, everything else seemed less important.

Obviously, the name Fu Yanchen was like the brightest star in the night sky to him, far away and unreachable, with a hint of terrifying light. He wanted to take advantage of Fu Yanchen's absence and deliberately delay his departure. He had only one purpose, which was to take the old lady away or ask Xu Xiaoxiao for some money. He thought that Fu Yanchen doted on Xu Xiaoxiao so much, the money must be in her hands.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiaoxiao did not have the right to manage finances.

"Xiaoxiao, Fu Yanchen doesn't even give you the financial power? Look at you, you...are not living well!"

"It's not that I don't want to give it, it's that I don't want to care. Why should I worry about it? Isn't it good enough to have food and drink? Besides, why should I care about the money that Fu Yanchen worked so hard to earn? I don't need the money now, so you should mind your own business."

Seeing this, my uncle couldn't help feeling helpless, but he didn't give up easily. Instead, he quickly adjusted his strategy and turned his attention to the old lady who was standing aside and remained silent.

He took a deep breath, tried to make his voice sound gentler, and then said, "Mom, look at what Xiaoxiao is saying? How can she be so angry?" The uncle shook his head as he spoke, seeming very disappointed with Xu Xiaoxiao's attitude.

However, the old lady was unmoved. She glanced at her uncle indifferently and said slowly: "Xiaoxiao is not wrong. This family has always been managed by Fu Yanchen. Of course you should go to him if you want money." The old lady's tone was calm and firm, and it was obvious that she had her own opinion on this matter.

The uncle looked unhappy, "Mom, you really can't stay here anymore, you have taught the child badly. You are the elder, you should persuade Xiaoxiao well, but now... you have taught the child badly, and you are even teaching the younger generation to resent me like this. I also have my own difficulties, you know, no matter how bad I... am, I am still your child who was raised by you, you... stop throwing a tantrum, come back with me, mom..."

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the strange uncle coldly and didn't want to talk.

There was a hint of pleading and helplessness in the uncle's voice, and his eyes revealed his "nostalgia" for the past and "helplessness" about the present.

The old lady just sat there quietly, her eyes deep and calm, as if she could see through all the hypocrisy and lies in the world.

"Hehe....I've only been here for a short time, and I'm already corrupting people?"

The old lady's laughter echoed in the empty house, with a hint of harshness, like icicles swaying in the winter wind, cold and hard.

"You, don't play those tricks in front of an old man like me. I'm old, I know everything, and my heart is tired. I don't have the time to watch a show with you."

"What should I do when I go back? I have to eat with you and have no idea where I'll get my next meal. The Fu family is doing well now, why should I go back? Am I sick? What should I do when I go back? To suffer those people's wrath and listen to their cold words?"

"Hmph, go, go, go away! Get out of here now! Don't get in my way here! The Fu family has a high threshold, and someone like you is not worthy of stepping in!"

After the old lady finished speaking, she waved her skinny fingers lightly. The movement seemed casual, but it carried an indescribable majesty and determination, as if to sweep away all of Uncle Xiaoxiao's thoughts and expectations.

The butler stood aside, his eyes deep and his heart filled with mixed feelings.

His uncle Xiaoxiao was an uninvited guest, and he couldn't let him make trouble here and disturb Xu Xiaoxiao's peaceful pregnancy.

He took a step and slowly walked to Uncle Xiaoxiao's side. He gently placed a hand on his arm with just the right amount of force, which did not cause pain, but was enough to express his firmness: "I'll take you out. This is not a place for you to stay."

Looking at the stern face of Steward Lin and his attitude as if he was going to kick him out, the resentment and anger in my uncle's heart were instantly ignited, like a raging fire, and could no longer be suppressed.

He struggled violently and actually shook off the butler's hand. The movement was so big that it caused a subtle but sharp sound of wind, which was particularly harsh in this quiet Fu family mansion.

"You... who do you think you are? You are just a servant or a dog of the Fu family! What's so great about you?"

The uncle's voice was trembling, but it was filled with unquestionable anger and contempt, as if he wanted to pour out all the dissatisfaction and frustration that had been accumulated in his heart for these years. "Why do you have the right to point fingers at me here? I... do you know who I am? I am a member of the royal family and your wife's uncle. We are related by blood. If you trace it back to the roots, your wife and I are from the same clan and share the same surname! You are just a small servant, and you dare to bully me in front of me. It's really outrageous!"

As he spoke, my uncle became like an angry child, his cheeks flushed red, his eyes widened, and a trace of unwilling saliva hung from the corner of his mouth.

He waved his hands around, as if trying to grab something to prove his identity and status, but he only stirred up the air around him in vain, raising clouds of chaotic dust.

The surrounding scenery seemed to be affected by this sudden dispute and was no longer peaceful.

The flowers and plants in the mansion seemed to lower their heads, not daring to look directly at this embarrassing scene; the chirping of cicadas in the distance also seemed to become noisier, adding a bit of irritability and uneasiness to the dispute.

The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, scattering on the ground in patches, but it could not shine into my uncle's heart, which was filled with anger and unwillingness.

Xu Xiaoxiao's face darkened...
