C121 Trying to Bribe Me with a Meal
"If I don't help you, Grandma won't help you."
Xia Xingxuan heard this and was very unconvinced as she asked, "How do you know that grandma is not willing to help me?"
It was rare for Fu Jinchen to have such patience to tell her, "I, Second Uncle, have a conflict with my grandma, and it is very serious."
"As for what kind of conflict it is, I won't tell you. If you don't believe me, you can also mention my name in front of my grandma. Do you think grandma will be angry?"
Without Fu Jinchen, the last person Xia Xingxuan could ask for help was Old Lady Fu. But after hearing Fu Jinchen's words, she realized that she could only ask for help.
Xia Xingxuan was disheartened. The disappointed expression on her face fell into Fu Jinchen's eyes. His gloating eyes suddenly changed and he felt a little uncomfortable.
He put his hands in his pockets and proudly raised his voice, "Actually, it is not impossible for me to help you."
With his words, Xia Xingxuan's absent-minded eyes lit up.
"Really?"
Fu Jinchen said, "It depends on my mood."
Xia Xingxuan became anxious. "Are you kidding me?"
"Now go to the kitchen to cook for me."
... ""
Would she be willing to help him after he was comfortable with her cooking?
The change in his attitude from before to now was too big, which made Xia Xingxuan doubt him.
But for Xia Yuanhang, she would rather believe Fu Jinchen for once!
"Okay! I will do it for you!"
Xia Xingxuan went straight to the kitchen. Fu Jinchen saw that she believed it and looked at her back as he softly said. "Naive!"
The dinner was made by Xia Xingxuan and it was also Fu Jinchen's favorite dishes. When they ate, Xia Xingxuan served Fu Jinchen like a grandpa and gave him some food. Old Lady Fu saw it and was confused.
Weren't these two young people having a cold war these two days? Today was another new scene and she really did not understand what they were doing.
Old Lady Fu was full and said that she was not feeling well. She went back to her room to rest.
Just as she walked upstairs, Old Lady Fu squatted sneakily in the stairwell and poked her head down. She could see Fu Jinchen and Xia Xingxuan in the dining room.
She used the excuse that she was not feeling well to leave their line of sight. She then ran here to squat, wanting to see how these two would get along when she was not around.
Once Old Lady Fu left, only Xia Xingxuan and Fu Jinchen sat face to face. Without her grandmother's presence, Xia Xingxuan felt that something was missing.
"Fu Jinchen, I made this dinner for you. Can you agree to my request?"
Fu Jinchen was full. He put the chopsticks down and straightened his back against the chair. He said in a lazy voice, "You want to bribe me with just one meal?"
Xia Xingxuan tried to calm down and said, "What else do you want from me?"
Mrs Lin was cleaning the bowls and chopsticks when Fu Jinchen interrupted her, "You don't need to pack these things."
Mrs Lin did not dare to go against Fu Jinchen's wishes and quietly stood to the side.
Fu Jinchen's slender and clean fingers pointed at the bowls and chopsticks on the table and said to Xia Xingxuan, "Take all of them and wash them clean."
This was not a difficult matter and Xia Xingxuan could accept it. It was just that she did not want Fu Jinchen to continue wearing down her patience and not give her an accurate answer. He promised her when he would contact Fu Ann.2
"Answer me first. When will you help me talk to Second Uncle about my father?"
Fu Jinchen said again, "Depends on my mood."
