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

Chapter 1355 Overseas Calls

The old lady gently stroked the slightly worn cane in her hand, with a bit of melancholy and helplessness in her eyes. She sighed slowly, and her voice was full of the vicissitudes and precipitation of the years.

"Xiaoxiao has gone through so much hardship over the years, and I know it clearly in my heart. When she got into trouble, I was so intimidated by Fu Yanchen's reputation that I didn't even have the courage to stand up and say a word for her. Every time I think of it, my heart feels like it's being cut by a knife. Now, how can I have the face to ask her to take care of my old bones in return?"

Hearing this, Li Mei's lips curled up into a gentle smile, which contained some understanding and comfort. She gently patted the old lady's hand and said softly:

"Grandma, don't blame yourself too much. Xiaoxiao is a smart kid, she will understand your difficulties. But... now she is in this position, with complicated affairs, busy all the time, naturally she can't be with you all the time to fulfill her filial piety."

The old lady nodded. "Alas, pity her. Between her and Fu Yanchen..."

Li Mei paused for a moment, as if she was a little hesitant, but continued, "But, old lady, I still have to say that this is not so easy. After all, so many things happened between Xiaoxiao and Mr. Fu. If you want to get them back together, I'm afraid it will take some effort."

"But, as long as you are willing to persuade Xiaoxiao, there might be a chance of a turnaround. Think about it, if Xiaoxiao can remarry Mr. Fu, then you can go back to the Fu family in the imperial capital with Xiaoxiao. The Fu family is a wealthy family with many people and it's very lively. You will definitely not be lonely there. There will be people to talk to you every day and take good care of you. In this way, Xiaoxiao can worry less and feel more at ease."

As she spoke, Li Mei's eyes revealed a hint of deep thought, as if she was imagining those warm and harmonious scenes, and seemed to be weighing the feasibility of this proposal.

After hearing this, the old lady frowned slightly, with a look of both desire and hesitation. Obviously, this proposal touched the softest part of her heart, but also put her in a dilemma.

Outside the window, a breeze blew, causing the curtains to sway gently. The sunlight filtered through the gaps and sprinkled into the house, adding a touch of warmth to the slightly heavy atmosphere.

However, this warmth seemed not enough to dispel the haze in the old lady's heart. Her eyes were still complicated and difficult to understand, as if she was weighing an important decision in her life.

After a long silence, the old lady finally slowly opened her tightly closed lips and let out a low and slow sigh.

Her voice seemed to have traveled through the long river of time, with a calmness and determination that came from having experienced many vicissitudes of life, which moved people.

"I understand what you mean, Li Mei." The old lady's gaze slowly fell on Li Mei. It was a look that knew everything, as if it could see through every corner of Li Mei's heart.

"It was Fu Yanchen who asked you to say that," the old lady continued, without any surprise in her tone, as if she had expected this.

"He wanted me to be Xiaoxiao's lobbyist and persuade her to go back to the Fu family with him and rekindle their relationship."

The old lady's words revealed her understanding of Fu Yanchen's thoughts. She knew very well what Fu Yanchen was thinking.

He just hoped that Xiaoxiao could come back to him, repair their relationship, and return to the good old days.

Li Mei smiled, "Mr. Fu didn't say it, but I can tell he wants to."

A complex emotion flashed in the old lady's eyes, including resentment towards Fu Yanchen and confusion about his persistence.

She shook her head slightly, as if she was thinking about something important, and then slowly spoke:

"Now my old bones are of no use, but I have some savings, so I can go to a nursing home. But I don't plan to rely entirely on Xiaoxiao to support me for the rest of my life. After all, I have my own dignity and pride, and she has no right or obligation to do so."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "My legs are not convenient now, so I can only trouble Xiaoxiao to take care of me for a while. But since you asked, I think I can still try to see if I can convince Xiaoxiao. After all, Fu Yanchen can indeed give Xiaoxiao a stable life, which is an undeniable fact."

Having said that, the old lady's tone paused slightly, and her eyes revealed a bit of determination and helplessness.

She looked at Li Mei deeply, as if seeking some kind of support, and as if telling herself that this was a decision that had to be made.

"But don't hold out any hope. Xiaoxiao has to make the big decision herself. She is a child with her own ideas. Her happiness must be decided by herself. As a grandmother, there is only so much I can do. Whether she wants to go back or not, I will not force her. During the time she has been taking care of me, I will eat porridge if she eats it!"

Outside the window, the sun has gradually set, leaving only the last ray of brilliant sunset glow on the horizon.

The breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, but it also seemed to be telling some unknown secrets. The old lady's words, like the breeze, gently blew across Li Mei's heart, leaving a deep mark.

She knew that the old lady's decision was not only a love for Xiaoxiao, but also a compromise with Fu Yanchen, and even more so an arrangement for her own later life.

All of this requires time, patience, and the understanding and respect of everyone.

Li Mei nodded gently without stopping her hands and continued massaging the old lady's stiff legs.

Her eyes were full of tenderness and respect, as if she was silently supporting the old lady's decision in her own way.

In the coffee shop on the other side, Xu Xiaoxiao was squinting her eyes, enjoying the rare lunch break.

There was a hint of fatigue on her face, but her eyes revealed an indomitable tenacity.

Just then, a rapid phone call broke the silence. It was an overseas number.

Xu Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned, and an inexplicable premonition arose in her heart.

She hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the phone. As soon as the call was connected, a deafening roar came from the other end: "Xu Xiaoxiao!!!"

His voice was full of anger, as if he wanted to convey all his emotions to Xu Xiaoxiao through this phone call.

Xu Xiaoxiao's face suddenly became solemn. She held her cell phone tightly and tried to stay calm.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be still talking incessantly, but Xu Xiaoxiao had no time to pay attention to him. There was only one thought circling in her mind - what on earth had happened to make the other party so angry?
