Chapter 90 - Not Hers
Chapter 90: Not Hers
Fu Ying frowned, as if he didn’t like Old Madam Fu saying that about Qu Ru.
He said in a low voice, “Grandma, Little Ru just wants to go back and take a look.”
“You believe her, but I don’t,” Old Madam Fu replied unhappily.
“Alright, go if you want to, as long as you don’t regret it.” Fu Ying didn’t want to say anything else. His expression was clearly very unpleasant. He stood up and glanced coldly at Mo Rao before turning to leave.
Mo Wan was furious when she saw this. “You!!”
What did Fu Ying mean? He was threatening Mo Rao!
Mo Wan had been straightforward and loving with Fu Lin all her life. She had also educated her child well since he was young. Why did Fu Ying become like this when he grew up?
She must have carried the wrong child back then!
It was better to have a dog than such a scumbag. At least a dog would know who was good to it and would be loyal forever.
A good meal had been ruined.
Mo Rao lowered her head. She knew that this was all because of her.
Her purpose for coming today was to make Old Madam Fu, Mo Wan, and Fu Lin happy, not to cause their family to quarrel.
“Rao Rao, this isn’t your fault. Don’t blame yourself and don’t be sad.” Old Madam Fu looked at Mo Rao’s aggrieved expression and her heart ached. She quickly comforted her.
……
Mo Rao didn’t say anything and only nodded gently.
Mo Wan’s heart ached when she saw this. She picked up some food for Mo Rao. “Come, eat quickly. Don’t go hungry.”
How could that bastard Fu Ying treat Mo Rao like this?
She was his wife who had accompanied him for three years! She was the Fu family’s little baby!
Looking at Mo Rao’s aggrieved and sad expression, they felt heartbroken.
Fu Ying was really blind to treat Mo Rao like this for Qu Ru’s sake!
…
Mo Rao had been staying at the Fu family’s old residence for the past two days, and Fu Ying hadn’t come again.
One of them lived in the old residence while the other lived in the bridal room.
There was no contact and no communication between them.
Mo Rao knew that Fu Ying was angry.
In the end, Qu Ru was still important. She was just a substitute.
On the day of Old Madam Qu’s birthday banquet, Mo Rao suddenly fell ill.
She felt weak and faintly feverish.
Mo Wan touched her forehead worriedly, her eyes filled with heartache. “Rao Rao, don’t let yourself suffer because of Fu Ying.”
Did she think that she was pretending to be sick to help Fu Ying and Qu Ru?
Mo Rao shook her head. “Mom, I’m fine. Go quickly. Grandma and Dad are still waiting for you. I just caught a cold. I’ll recover soon.”
“By the way, don’t let Grandma and Dad visit me. I’m afraid this disease is contagious,” Mo Rao added.
This silly child was still thinking for others.
Mo Wan’s heart ached, but she felt gratified as well. “Alright, get the servant to call the doctor for you or send you to the hospital, understand?”
“Okay.” Mo Rao nodded.
She wouldn’t take medicine or go to the hospital because it would definitely hurt the child.
She lay there quietly alone and listened to Mo Wan and the others leave. Her heart felt empty.
After a while, Mo Rao forced herself out of bed.
It was because she saw the evening gown hanging beside her.
Mo Wan had specifically prepared that for her. Unfortunately, she couldn’t wear it.
“How beautiful.” Mo Rao touched the gown and a smile appeared on her pale lips.
However, she didn’t feel much regret because she knew that this was not hers to begin with.
Fu Ying didn’t want her to attend the birthday banquet. She didn’t look forward to it.
Perhaps Fu Ying felt that she was not presentable. Her true identity was so lowly. She was an orphan, so of course she couldn’t compare to Qu Ru.
Even if Qu Ru was an illegitimate daughter, she was still an illegitimate daughter of a wealthy family.
If not for her parents saving Old Madam Fu, Mo Rao wouldn’t have had the chance to live the luxurious life she had for all these years. This was just a beautiful dream given to her by the heavens. She had enjoyed enough of it and should not be greedy.
From the beginning, she was someone from a different world from them.
After putting down the evening gown in her hand, Mo Rao came to the desk. She sat down silently and turned on the computer.
Only work could bring some light to her life.
As Mo Rao flipped through the fairy tale book Zhang Zhe had given her, she drew a sketch according to her understanding of the story.
Just as she was engrossed in work, there was a knock on the door.
Mo Rao was a little surprised. Who else didn’t attend Old Madam Qu’s birthday banquet?
She went to open the door and saw Shen Feng.
Shen Feng was wearing a simple gray sweater and black pants. His hair was slightly curled and he looked very elegant and gentle.
“Shen Feng, why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be attending the Qu family’s birthday banquet? The Shen family also should have been invited.” Mo Rao asked in surprise.
Shen Feng smiled and shook his head. “No, I brought food. Let’s eat together.”
