The Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO

The person Fu Meixu went to her bedroom to call was Shi Qiao. He was the same man that was always with Zhi Ruo.

Fu Meixu's trick to get close to him worked. Her trials easily worked on him because she found the right opportunity and coupled with the fact that he was easygoing with her.

She learned from him that he was actually dating Zhi Ruo but the latter didn't want their relationship to be public yet because she was famous and she wasn't ready for the media attention on her private life.

Fu Meixu chuckled at that time and had said to him, "Although Sister Ruo is my senior and I shouldn't say this about her, I still have to because it looks like you do not know some of the tricks in this kind of industry. It's possible that Sister Zhi Ruo doesn't like you and it's only dating you at the moment while waiting for a better person to come her way, if not why would she be scared of the little media attention on her private life?"

Her words sounded believable but Shi Qiao didn't immediately believe her but a seed of doubt has already been sown in his heart.

Fu Meixu immediately changed the topic and talked about another matter to lighten the mood. And before she came back, she spoke to him about visiting his family art gallery to pick a gift for her grandfather.

"You are welcome any time you like. Do you need my recommendation?" Shi Qian asked.

"Yes, Please. Thank you." Fu Meixu replied happily and that was how she got to spend time with Shi Qiao that day, while he helped her to pick a painting he was sure grandfather Fu would like.

After 3 rings, the call was answered.

"Shi Qiao, sorry to disturb you at the moment." Fu Meixu said in a sweet voice.

"No offense taken. Are you back to your place now, have you given the gift to your grandfather, did he like it?" Shi Qiao asked with much enthusiasm in his tone.

"Yes, I've given the painting to my grandfather but he is yet to open it. When he does that, I will tell you about it. And if he ends up liking the painting, I will take you out for dinner to say thanks." Fu Meixu said as a blush appeared on her face.

"What if he ends up not liking it, what will happen to my lunch?" Shi Qiao asked with a peak of interest.

"If that's so, I will not consider our friendship and cancel the lunch." Fu Meixu said and laughed after that.

Shi Qiao laughed as well but both of them didn't spend much time on the phone before ending their conversation.

After the call, Fu Meixu sat up on her bed and said with a smiling gaze, "Zhi Ruo, you don't know me yet. You just have to relax while I show your boyfriend what he has been missing from a potential girlfriend."

When it was time for dinner, Fu Meixu tied her hair in a ponytail and checked herself out in the mirror before coming out for dinner.

She was the 3rd person to arrive at the dining room. She greeted her brother and YingPei happily before taking her seat.

"Why are you smiling happily?" Fu Ling asked with his gaze on her.

"Because I earned more money." Fu Meixu replied and he looked away.

'How can you ask that question? It's obvious that she is up to something.' YingPei thought to himself.

Whenever he imagined the drama in the house, he always thought about moving to his place but he knows the old man will not allow that unless he was married.

Since after grandfather Fu's accident, the old man doesn't allow them to live separately because he used to complain about how his family members were alert to run away from home. And now that he managed to bring them all together, he wouldn't allow anyone to ruin his plans.

Fu ChunHua arrived next with servants carrying different dishes behind her.  After the servants arranged the dishes according to Fu ChunHua's instructions, they left.

Fu ChunHua had the kitchen prepare at least one favorite dish of each of the family members and showed the servants where to place them.

Not long after Fu ChunHua took her seat, Fu Hee arrived and took her seat. She didn't bother to glance at anyone and vaguely returned the greetings that were said to her.

At last, grandfather Fu arrived and took his seat. When he glanced around and did not see FangSu, he asked Fu Hee about her.

"FangSu should still be in her bedroom." Fu Hee replied.

"What is she doing there? Is she not seeing the time?" Grandfather Fu asked and Fu Hee remained quiet.

Fu Meixu smiled and took that opportunity to speak up, "I was hoping to meet cousin and that is the reason I came back as I couldn't meet up with her welcome party due to my busy schedule. But it's too bad she can't make it for dinner."

Fu Hee glanced at Fu Meixu with a sharp gaze and grandfather Fu saw it and flared up.

"Fu Hee, send someone to get FangSu to come down for dinner. She can't refuse eating."

Fu Hee immediately sent a servant to call FangSu over and in a few minutes, FangSu appeared with a dull facial expression. She apologized to Grandfather Fu for keeping him waiting before going to take her seat at his left side.

"Cousin, welcome back home. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your welcome party, I was quite busy at that time." Fu Meixu said with a smiling gaze on FangSu.

It was her voice that made FangSu notice her presence. Immediately FangSu saw her, she frowned.

"It doesn't make any difference if you were present or not. What matters is that I'm back for good." FangSu said, immediately attacking her with words.

Fu Meixu didn't back down and immediately fired back some painful words.

"It will be a relief if you really kept to your words of being back for good because I learned you've already started stirring up trouble." Fu Meixu said with a taunting gaze.

"Meixu..." Fu ChunHua called out to her daughter. She was happy with her statement but was only pretending to call her to order.

FangSu and Fu Hee were seething with rage. They were already trying on how to get the old man to forget about what happened but Meixu was keen on bringing up the past.

Being reminded of FangSu's action earlier that day, Grandfather Fu frowned and ordered everyone to start eating.
