In the morning, Luo Shumo got up after a night's sleep.
She was getting calmer and calmer now, but she couldn't stay in the hotel all the time. Her little deposit was not enough for her to pay for the company.
She hastily wrote down her resume. She went out of the hotel and printed a lot of copies for various companies. The receptionists at the entrance of the hotel all took them coldly and didn't even look at her.
She couldn't help feeling disheartened. At noon, when she finished her work and was about to go back to the hotel, she received a call from Grandpa Fu Yuchen asking her to go back for lunch.
She recalled how her grandfather had taken good care of her over the years. Every time, his heart would be broken for her and Fu Yuchen. Now that she couldn't go on any further, she felt that she was the one he was most sorry for.
Her eyes were slightly red. She agreed and took a taxi to the big villa.
When she walked to the door, the housekeeper opened it for her expressionlessly. Luo Shumo walked in and saw that the old man was trimming flowers in the garden alone.
She tugged at the corner of her mouth and walked forward, pretending to be relaxed. She looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, let me help you fix the flowers."
With this, she picked up the scissors on the side and trimmed the dead leaves in the rose bushes in the garden.
Seeing that she was so attentive, the old man quickly reached out to stop her. "You don't have to be so reserved here. What if you come back for a meal and do such a rough job?"
This cluster of bright red roses was full of thick and big thorns, and one would scratch his hand if he was not careful.
She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She looked at the old man with a sweet smile and said, "It's okay. It's just a small matter. I'm not so delicate."
As she spoke, she picked up the scissors and began to trim them.
Master Fu looked at her gentle and careful appearance, and a trace of a sigh flashed across his dignified and kind face. "How is your relationship with Chen'er at this stage?"
Luo Shumo's hand, which was busy with the rose branches, paused slightly. She looked at Old Master Fu and smiled. "My relationship with him is not bad."
He and she were already like fire and water, but he didn't want his grandfather to worry about him anymore.
How was she and Fu Yuchen? Didn't she say that he had heard of them? However, she still pretended to be as if nothing had happened, which made people feel sorry for her.
When Old Master Fu heard this, his old and deep eyes paused for a moment. He looked at her and suddenly said, "I also called Fu Yuchen back for dinner today. What do you young people have to say in person?"
Luo Shumo's gaze suddenly trembled. "He even called Fu Yuchen over?"
That man would definitely not give her a good look. The abyss between them was something that could never be explained clearly. She suddenly became a little lost.
Lowering her head, she accidentally grabbed a bunch of roses, but she was absent-minded and did not notice the thorns on the rose. The hard thorns stabbed into her delicate belly, which made her gasp in pain.
Old Master Fu noticed the bright red beads of blood on her finger and couldn't help frowning. He looked at the butler beside him and said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the ointment for Young Madam!"
The butler nodded repeatedly and turned to get the ointment and band-aid.
Luo Shumo followed the butler in and wrapped it around her finger. The nanny who was cooking came out and whispered in Old Master Fu's ear. Then, she turned around and left.
Old Master Fu walked over and said in a gentle voice, "Let's go. The food is ready. Let's go to the restaurant for dinner."
"Mm." Luo Shumo followed Old Master Fu into the dining room and sat on a white white chair made of ivory. The words that she had been thinking about for a long time circled around her lips.
Picking up the chopsticks, she looked at Old Master Fu and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, about my divorce with Fu Yuchen..."
Old Master Fu put a piece of fish in front of her and looked at her with a kind voice. "I know you like eating fish, so I asked the kitchen to specially prepare it to see if it suits your taste."
Looking at the carefully selected meat on the belly of the fish in front of him, Luo Shumo's eyes trembled. She bit her lip and said, "Hmm..."
Old Master Fu interrupted Luo Shumo's words again, looked at her, and said earnestly, "Recently, I've sent a batch of tonics. I can't eat them. I'll ask you to bring some back and take good care of my body. I want to have a baby with Chen'er as soon as possible."
Luo Shumo stirred the fish in front of her with her chopsticks. It wasn't hard to imagine what Old Master Fu was thinking at the moment, but she couldn't retreat again and again.
Biting her lips, she looked at Old Master Fu with tears in her eyes. She sighed helplessly and said, "Grandpa, I know what you are thinking, but I really can't go on anymore. We can only get a divorce now."
At that time, outside the door of the villa, Fu Yuchen, who came in, heard the conversation inside. His dark eyes became darker. He did not go in, but stood outside the restaurant and listened to the conversation inside.
Old Master Fu knew that he couldn't avoid Luo Shumo this time. Although Luo Shumo was always nice to him, he was also clear about his grandson.
While eating, Old Master Fu looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Fu Yuchen is sometimes too willful and stubborn. He doesn't know how to get along with women. You should take care of him more. If you have anything to tell me, I will definitely teach him a lesson for you."
Luo Shumo smiled a little bleakly and looked at Old Master Fu with a pair of bright eyes full of helplessness. "But how can love be forced?"
If he really loved her, he would believe her and would not plunder her regardless of her wishes.
Old Master Fu frowned, and his sword-shaped eyebrows were also shrouded in a dark cloud.
He was very optimistic about his daughter-in-law, because Luo Shumo was not like the other women outside, who played all kinds of tricks or had all kinds of purposes.
However, he had long heard of Fu Yuchen's cold attitude towards her.
"Grandpa, I'm only here for dinner because I can't bear to part with you. You've given me so much in the past few years that there's nothing that I can repay. It's already impossible for us to be together." Luo Shumo took a deep breath and looked at Old Master Fu with dim eyes, but she also felt a little guilty.
She failed to live up to Old Master Fu's hope and confidence in her, and Fu Yuchen didn't belong to her after all.
When Old Master Fu saw Luo Shumo's firm attitude, his brows furrowed even more tightly, and a cloud of worry covered his face.
This little girl had a good character, could endure hardships, and was very filial and considerate to him. He had always admired her, but he didn't expect that she would come to this point today.
"You're such a woman. Why don't you stay here and disturb my grandfather's appetite!" Suddenly, a cold shout came. Immediately after, Fu Yuchen strode over from outside the restaurant and pulled her up rudely from the seat. He was about to drag her out of the restaurant!
"Ah! Fu Yuchen, go away!" Luo Shumo was shocked at first, but when she saw the man's cold and horrible handsome face, she was so scared that she trembled all over.
He seemed to have been here for a long time. Did he hear everything?
"Fu Yuchen!" Old Master Fu looked at Fu Yuchen, who had suddenly appeared, and roared angrily at Luo Shumo's rude treatment.
However, Fu Yuchen didn't even look at him. He dragged Luo Shumo by himself, threw her onto the black Bentley parked at the door, and slammed the door shut.
