Chapter 162: Head Over Heels for Her
Perfect timing, Fu Hanjiang was still anxious and needed confirmation.
Seizing the moment, he tightly held Sheng Xiangsi's hand and raised it in front of Fu Mingzhu, "Grandma, Xiangsi and I... are together now."
Then he looked at Sheng Xiangsi, "Xiangsi, Grandma might not believe me. You should tell her."
"Xiangsi?"
As expected, Fu Mingzhu didn't believe it and looked directly at Sheng Xiangsi.
Under the scrutinizing gaze of the grandmother and grandson, Sheng Xiangsi took a deep breath and smiled slightly, "Yes, Grandma, we are together."
"Ah!"
Fu Mingzhu was so thrilled she covered her mouth with her hands in excitement. "Really? Is it true?"
"Grandma, it's true!"
Fu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows proudly, "Xiangsi said it herself, how can you not believe it?"
"I believe!"
Fu Mingzhu nodded repeatedly, "I'm just too happy, that's all. Oh my, this is such wonderful news!"
Although she wasn't sure what had happened recently, did Xiangsi and Zhong Pei not work out?
But naturally, the old lady favored her grandson.
Didn't you see his grin reach his ears? Then it must be good news!
The old lady clapped her hands in delight and came over to hold Sheng Xiangsi's arm, "If it were evening, I'd open another bottle of good wine..."
The three of them walked downstairs, laughing and talking.
Fu Hanjiang walked ahead, "I'll ask Mrs. Lin to make some hangover soup. Xiangsi has a bit of a headache from the hangover."
"Oh."
Fu Mingzhu paused, then laughed heartily.
"This is different, huh? Now you know how to take care of someone? Haha..."
It seemed her grandson was serious this time.
Compared to his reluctance a few years ago, his consideration for Xiangsi now showed he had truly invested in this relationship.
At the entrance, Yao Leyi was pushing Fu Hanchuan in a wheelchair. As soon as they entered, they heard the laughter from inside.
"Grandma, what's making you so happy?"
Seeing Sheng Xiangsi, Yao Leyi commented, "Xiangsi is here. No wonder Grandma is so happy."
"Not just that."
Fu Mingzhu smiled and shook her head, patting Sheng Xiangsi's hand, "You came at the right time. I have good news to tell you—"
"What good news?"
"Hanjiang and Xiangsi are together!"
Fu Mingzhu couldn't stop smiling, "Isn't that wonderful news?"
This...
Yao Leyi was stunned and looked at Fu Hanjiang, who was coming out of the kitchen, seeking confirmation. Fu Hanchuan did the same.
Fu Hanjiang felt a bit embarrassed being stared at like that. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Glancing at Sheng Xiangsi, he smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's true. Didn't we already tell Grandma?"
"You."
Fu Mingzhu glared at her grandson, "Since you initiated this, remember to treat Xiangsi well! Otherwise, I won't let you off!"
"Grandma, don't worry." Fu Hanjiang readily agreed, his eyes fixed on Sheng Xiangsi. "I'll treat Xiangsi well."
"Good."
Fu Mingzhu turned to Fu Hanchuan, "You, as the elder brother, heard it too. If this kid messes up, you shouldn't let him off either!"
"Yes..."
Fu Hanchuan, sitting in the wheelchair, pulled a wry smile and slowly nodded.
His gaze fell on Sheng Xiangsi, filled with complex emotions.
Hmph.
Yao Leyi saw this and silently sneered. Was he feeling sad? But what use was that?
In the past, Sheng Xiangsi was his sister-in-law!
And now, she still was!
No matter how much he liked Sheng Xiangsi, he could only bury those feelings deep inside!
"Grandma."
Yao Leyi helped push the wheelchair, "Hanchuan didn't rest well at the hospital last night. I brought him back early this morning. I'll take him back to his room to rest."
"Okay."
Fu Mingzhu nodded repeatedly and stepped aside, "You two go ahead. Rest well, and you too."
"Okay, Grandma."
Yao Leyi pushed the wheelchair upstairs.
After settling Fu Hanchuan in, she patted his hand, "Rest well. I'll check on you later."
As she got up, Fu Hanchuan grabbed her hand.
"Hanchuan?"
He looked at her, his expression complicated. He could now say short sentences, but at this moment, facing Yao Leyi, he didn't know what to say.
But Yao Leyi understood his unspoken words.
He and Sheng Xiangsi were impossible...
Yao Leyi held his hand back, speaking softly, "Hanchuan, let go of the past. Let's live well from now on, okay?"
He stared at her face for a long while before nodding, "Yes, okay."
Yao Leyi trembled slightly. Was he agreeing so reluctantly? Was letting go of Sheng Xiangsi so hard for him?
…
Back downstairs, Fu Hanjiang was preparing to go to the garage to get the car and take Sheng Xiangsi out.
"Hanjiang."
Yao Leyi called out to him.
"Leyi." Fu Hanjiang's eyes and eyebrows involuntarily carried a smile.
Yao Leyi was quite surprised. She sensed that he was genuinely happy. She had known him the longest in this family.
But she had never seen such a relaxed expression on his face.
Because of Sheng Xiangsi? Being with Sheng Xiangsi made him this happy?
Ha! What was so special about Sheng Xiangsi? Making both brothers fall head over heels for her!
Behind her, Sheng Xiangsi approached.
Yao Leyi noticed and pressed her lips together, "Hanjiang, thank you."
"? What are you thanking me for?"
"For the favor I asked of you last time..." Yao Leyi's eyes reddened slightly, "I didn't expect you to actually do it. You and Xiangsi really..."
"Leyi!"
Realizing what she was about to say, Fu Hanjiang broke into a cold sweat and urgently interrupted her, reaching out behind him.
"Xiangsi!"
"..." Yao Leyi acted as if she had just noticed Sheng Xiangsi and smiled to cover up, "Xiangsi, leaving already?"
Sheng Xiangsi didn't look at her nor answer her, heading straight out.
"Are you coming or not? If not, I'll call a ride myself."
She said while taking out her phone and opening a ride-hailing app.
This was clearly directed at Fu Hanjiang.
"I'm coming!"
Fu Hanjiang hurriedly followed her and grabbed her arm, "Don't call a ride, I'll take you."
He guessed that Xiangsi had heard what Leyi said again.
"Um..."
Fu Hanjiang scratched his forehead, "I really don't know why she said that..."
"Who?"
Sheng Xiangsi frowned, her face showing clear impatience.
"Are you going to talk about your sister-in-law? Then don't bother taking me. I get a headache just hearing her name."
With that, she shook him off and started to leave.
"Wait!"
Fu Hanjiang quickly grabbed her, "I won't talk about it!"
He knew their relationship had always been bad, but he didn't realize Xiangsi disliked her to this extent.
Afraid she'd leave, he pulled her, "Come with me to the garage. We'll leave from there."
Sheng Xiangsi didn't object and let him pull her into the garage and get in the car.
From the moment they left the Fu house, she kept a sullen face and said nothing.
