But what Bai Yu didn’t see was Fu Xiangchen standing behind her and rubbing his fingers, his warm gaze darkening.

In the dining room, Fu Xuyin immediately stood up upon seeing Bai Yu, and said to Lin Jing, “Mom, look at the slingshot in her hand. She snatched it from me, causing me to be thrown down by that blind man!”

When Bai Yu saw Lin Jing looking at her, she quickly said, “Mom, I can explain.”

“Explain what? Xuyin, you were just mischievous and got caught teasing Big Brother. Now, Sister-in-law is bringing the slingshot back to you.”

With Fu Xiangchen’s explanation, Bai Yu was no longer in a rush to speak. After all, the man was Lin Jing’s biological son, so his words carried more weight than hers.

“Second Brother!” Fu Xuyin called in dissatisfaction. Not only did his brother not help him, but he wouldn’t even let their mother teach Bai Yu a lesson!

Lin Jing and Fu Xiangchen exchanged a glance. Then, Lin Jing turned and said, “Alright, Xuyin. We have a guest here with us and you’re being unsightly.”

Fu Xuyin still wanted to grumble, but Fu Xiangchen said in a deep voice, “Well? Come over and take it.”

With Lin Jing hinting at him, Fu Xuyin snatched the slingshot out of Bai Yu’s hand darkly. Bai Yu knew that now wasn’t the time to be petty, so she said in a forgiving tone, “Don’t be so careless next time.”

Fu Xuyin was still angry and glared at her when he heard this, indicating that he would remember this grudge.

During dinner, Fu Xiangchen would add food to Lan Qingyu’s bowl from time to time while Fu Xuyin kept calling her “Sister Qingyu” affectionately. Although Lin Jing didn’t say anything, she would smile when she looked at Lan Qingyu. They seemed happy, while on the other hand, Bai Yu seemed dispensable.

However, at the thought that Fu Yunzhe was still upstairs, waiting for her to return and treat his wound, Bai Yu subconsciously ate faster. When she was done, Lin Jing and the others were only halfway through their meal.

Fu Xuyin couldn’t help but snicker when he saw her eating so quickly. “Are you a hungry ghost?”

Even Lin Jing’s eyes had a look of disdain. She wondered how the Bai family educated their daughter because Bai Yu didn’t seem to have any etiquette.

Bai Yu thought, ‘Weren’t you all treating me like air? Why are you paying attention to me now?’ Just then, a maid walked towards Bai Yu, holding a plastic bag. She asked hesitantly, “First Young Madam, did you order this takeaway?”

Bai Yu accepted it. “Yes, thank you.”

For a moment there, the expressions of everyone at the table got even stranger as they stared at Bai Yu.

Lin Jing asked meaningfully, “Xiao Yu, is the Fu family denying you food?”

“It’s not like that. I usually prepare my own supper in case I get hungry at night.” Bai Yu wasn’t that stupid to say that Butler Zhuang had asked Fu Yunzhe to eat leftovers. It was obvious who had instructed him to say so.

“We have a chef at home, so why do you have to get food from outside? How about this, throw away the takeout, and I’ll get Butler Zhuang to send supper to your room.”

Bai Yu thought, ‘If I throw away the takeout, what will Fu Yunzhe eat tonight?’ Besides, when Butler Zhuang delivers the supper, he might watch her eat, so that Fu Yunzhe couldn’t have anything. So, Bai Yu could only decline politely, “Mom, my salary isn’t much, so I don’t want to waste food. Let’s go with this arrangement next time.”

“What if I say there will be no next time?” A low pressure filled the dining room. Even Fu Xuyin stopped eating and waited for Bai Yu’s answer.

Bai Yu’s heart sank. She didn’t expect Lin Jing to force her to take sides so quickly. The takeout in her hand felt like a bomb that would blow her up into smithereens if she held onto it. But for the sake of her father’s promised condition, she could only pretend not to understand Lin Jing’s words. “I won’t be troubling you then.”

Everyone’s expressions turned strange after hearing this. Bai Yu pretended not to understand and stood up. “Mom, everyone, I’m full, so I’ll head up first. Enjoy your meal.”

Lin Jing’s expression was ice-cold but she said nothing. Fu Xiangchen nodded instead. “Okay, Sister-in-law, take care.”

Even after Bai Yu went upstairs, Lin Jing couldn’t regain her composure. “How insensible! What’s so good about being with that crippled Fu Yunzhe?”

Fu Xuyin said hatefully, “If she doesn’t want to eat, so be it. She can starve to death.”

“Mom, Sister-in-law just came to our house yesterday. She doesn’t understand the situation at home. I’ll gradually tell her in the future.”

Only Lan Qingyu didn’t express an opinion. She merely looked down, so no one could tell what she was thinking.

Bai Yu opened the door to Fu Yunzhe’s room with the takeout in hand, saying, “I’m back. Sorry to have kept you waiting. I brought you some food.”

Fu Yunzhe said sarcastically, “I thought you wouldn’t want to come back.”

“Don’t accuse me. I came up right after I finished eating without any delays.. By the way, did Butler Zhuang bring you the first aid kit?”
