Shen Xi was in a deep sleep. She had fallen asleep on the sofa with her face buried in the pillow. Only the back of her head was facing Mrs. Fu.
The moment Mrs. Fu entered the room, she saw the child sleeping on the sofa. She was curled up on the sofa. She was so small that she could only see the back of her head. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and helplessness.
Why was Ah Xuan's friend like him? She fell asleep in the laboratory after she got tired.
When Ah Xuan was doing experiments, he would often forget to eat and sleep. It was common for him to find a random spot to sleep.
This was not a good habit. Mrs. Fu had tried to persuade him many times, but he would not listen. Eventually, she ordered someone to set up a spot in each laboratory. She placed a sofa and a small coffee table. If she was tired, sleeping on the sofa was better than sleeping anywhere else.
There was a cupboard nearby. She tiptoed over and opened it. She wanted to take out a blanket to cover Shen Xi in case she caught a cold.
Who knew that the girl, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, would suddenly get up. Her pair of black, bright, and vigilant eyes were like cold, sharp swords, looking in her direction.
After a moment, the coldness in her eyes disappeared. There was only calmness and a hint of surprise. She stared at Mrs. Fu without blinking.
Mrs. Fu was also stunned. Her reaction was much stronger than Shen Xi's. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her emotions were complicated.
Shen Xi was also stunned. After a moment, she realized that the person in front of her was not Li Kyung-ran, but the woman she had caught a glimpse of at the airport. She nodded slightly at her as a greeting.
If she had been at the airport, she would have been uncertain about her guess. However, at this moment, she was certain that the woman in front of her was Mrs. Fu, the mother of the Fu brothers.
"Are you Ah Xuan's friend?" Mama Fu tried to suppress the throbbing in her heart, but the surging emotions and excitement in her heart made her feel a deep sense of intimacy that came from the depths of her bones.
"You are?" Shen Xi asked politely.
"I am Ah Xuan's mother." Mama Fu walked towards her with a gentle look on her face. Her expression was serious as she sized her up carefully. She could not bear to take her eyes off her.
Shen Xi felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze. In the end, she introduced herself so that she would not misunderstand her. "Hello, Mrs. Fu. My name is Shen Xi. I'm Li Kyung-ran's daughter."
In fact, she really didn't want to mention Li Kyung-ran, especially as she introduced him as a mother. However, the feeling of being misunderstood didn't feel good.
She already understood that Fu Qingli and Fu Qingxuan must have treated her as her younger sister's substitute. After all, Li Kyung-ran looked exactly like their mother, so naturally, she would also look like her.
Now that she knew, she wouldn't let others misunderstand. It was best to make things clear in advance so that she wouldn't feel bad and they wouldn't feel bad.
True enough.
After she said this, the light in Mama Fu's eyes dimmed for a moment. Her mind was in a mess. She didn't pay attention to what she said at the beginning and only heard the words "Li Kyung-ran's daughter".
At that moment, her mind was filled with thoughts. It was impossible to say that she wasn't disappointed. However, this wasn't the first time she had experienced such disappointment. She looked at her gently and sighed. "You are her daughter!"
No wonder she gave her such a familiar and intimate feeling. The girl in front of her was related to her by blood.
"Yes." Even if Shen Xi didn't want to admit it, she still acknowledged it.
The conflict between her and her Family Su was her own business. There was no need for others to know about it. She didn't want others to sympathize with her. She didn't need them.
Mama Fu looked at the girl in front of her. Although she was smiling, her attitude towards her was cold and distant. For a moment, she felt a little sad. Her voice was a little hoarse, but it was still gentle. "When did you meet Ah Xuan?"
Shen Xi didn't avoid these questions. She gave a simple explanation. She didn't mention that Fu Qingxuan had pestered her and followed her home for the New Year.
"I see." Mrs. Fu smiled and didn't continue asking. She wouldn't be able to get an answer out of her. It was more practical to ask her son after they got home.
She had said before that there was no need to involve the younger generation in the grudges of the older generation. Ah Xuan had already listened to her and became friends with her.
However, since this guy already knew her and brought her home, why did he hide it from her? Was he afraid that she would be agitated when she saw her?
This girl was obviously avoiding it. Even if she said it, it would be equivalent to not saying anything. Ah Xuan had always been slow to warm up to others. He had a cold personality. Other than his family and medical matters, he didn't care about anything else.
The fact that Ah Xuan had brought her to the laboratory meant that she wasn't just a simple friend in Ah Xuan's heart.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you this time because of my friend." Shen Xi continued to be polite. "Young Masters Fu is a kind person. I'm very grateful that he agreed to help me."
She didn't expect to meet Mrs. Fu here, and it was just the two of them. It was better for her to leave quickly and not pay attention to her.
If Fu Qingli knew that she had met with Mrs. Fu, he would definitely find trouble with her. She didn't want to see him again!
"It's okay." Mrs. Fu felt a little sad when she heard her words.
This girl was so polite with her and tried her best to clarify her relationship with Ah Xuan. It was as if she would misunderstand something. She almost said that she shouldn't try to be friends with her.
Shen Xi felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. She didn't know what to say for a moment. She had already erected a high wall in her heart and warned herself not to cross the line.
However, she didn't know why, but when she saw the sadness in her eyes because of her cold attitude, she felt a sudden pain in her heart.
Fortunately, at this moment, the alarm she set finally rang and saved her life. Otherwise, she didn't know how long she could stay in this state.
"Mrs. Fu, I have to go now. I'm sorry." Shen Xi looked at her apologetically and stood up.
Mrs. Fu felt bad when she heard the polite and distant way she addressed her. She smiled at her and said, "Hurry up and go. Don't delay your work."
Shen Xi nodded at her again and stood up to put on her white coat. She exuded a cold and distant aura from head to toe.
Mrs. Fu looked at her with mixed feelings. She placed the cake on the coffee table and looked at her cold back. "There's cake on the table. Eat it if you're hungry."
Shen Xi didn't even turn her head and replied, "Thank you."
Mrs. Fu sighed in her heart. She could clearly feel that Shen Xi was rejecting her. She almost didn't want to have anything to do with her.
