Chapter 25 - Let Everyone Have A Taste
As for Fu Hee, she was the happiest person in the dining room. She was happy that her enemy Fu ChunHua got indirectly scolded by the old man, now she can eat her dinner in peace.
After they were done eating, the servants took the plates away and served them deserts.
Chun-hee was very unhappy and couldn't even enjoy the sweet deserts. And having found another opportunity to look for trouble, she eyed Fu Hee before slowly speaking up.
"Fu Hee, you really did not put father into consideration when ordering the chefs to prepare these deserts."
"What do you mean?." Fu Hee asked with a confused facial expression as she looked up to see the scorned look on her face.
Fu Chun Hee faked a worried look she spoke up. "Maybe you've forgotten, so, I will do you the honor of reminding you. Father is already so old, and he just recovered, serving him these sweet desserts, what were your plans?."
Fu Hee scoffed as she spoke up, gracefully. "I think you should ask questions before you conclude. Father chose the deserts himself, so I ordered the kitchen to prepare them for him. And, the sugar content in the deserts is less than ours, because I put his age and health into a lot of consideration. Maybe if you were in the house always, you wouldn't keep making mistakes."
Fu Chun He's looked shock to learn that the old man chose the deserts he wanted and that there was a difference in their sugar content, even though they were eating the same thing.
Fu Chun Hee glanced at the old man who laughed repeatedly as he enjoyed his deserts.
Now glancing back to Fu Hee, she caught the smug look on her face.

Fu Geming glanced at his wife with an unhappy expression on his face, but his dear wife was too angry to notice it.
"Ah! Then it's my bad. I misunderstood you." Fu Chun Hee hurriedly said before the old man would get angry with her.
She didn't even apologize to Fu He's, because she felt it wasn't necessary. But admitting her wrong was already a slap to her face.
"Chun Hee, this is a family banquet that hasn't been hosted in several months. Maybe you should be quiet and savor the taste of these mouth-watering dishes." Fu Juan said to her with a smile before looking back at her deserts.
"You're right sister-in-law." Fu Chun Hee said through gritted teeth as she reluctantly picked her spoon to eat her dessert.
Fu Hee gave herself a toast in her mind, for defeating Fu ChunHua repeatedly today.
"I think you should stop talking and eat your food if you don't want to get thrown out through the doors of this house my father." Fu Geming whispered to her in an annoyed tone.
"Am I not allowed to talk anymore?." Fu ChunHua whispered back with a frown on her face.
"Who said you couldn't talk? But don't you think you've caused enough trouble? You didn't even win any around, and you still plan to be nominated? If father sends you out of the house tonight, nobody will accompany you back, just remember that." Fu Geming said to her in a hushed tone, before sitting properly and eating his deserts as if nothing happened.
'Fine. Even you are insulting me that I was defeated by Fu Hee. Just wait and see." Fu ChunHua said to herself as she squeezed her fist in anger. But when her eyes met with Fu Hee's victorious look, she smiled back at her as if she wasn't hurt by her attentions.
"Father, you can try the fruit wine, it is healthy and contains a little percent of alcohol for preservation." Fu Hee said as she introduced the bottle of fruit wine to him.
A servant who had been standing behind the old man stepped forward and picked up the bottle of fruit wine when she heard Fu Hee's words.
She opened the fruit wine and poured some into the Old man's wine glass. Then she closed the bottle back and took some steps backward.
Old Mr. Fu picked up the wine glass and took some sips from it, then he nodded his head in approval.
"The wine has a relinquishing taste and great quality." Old Mr. Fu added.
"I had someone get this wine for you, I'm glad you like it. Drink some more." Fu Hee said with a radiant smile as she gestured to the servant to or more wine for the old man.
Fu ChunHua was seething while Fu Hee was all smiles.
"Fu Hee, you won't give some to us to have a taste?." Fu Juan asked with her gaze on her.
"Yes... Yes. It's so unfair that you gave the wine to father and left us out." Fu Geming added.
Fu Hee smiled as she answered to them, "Sorry, but the wine belongs to Father now. If you want to have a taste, you ask father for some of it."
Fu Geming looked away, while Fu Juan glanced at the Old Man who looked up and glanced at them.
"Let everyone have a taste." He announced as he relaxed his back on the seat.
"Thank you, Father." Fu Juan said as the servant stepped forward to pick up the wine, before going round to make sure everybody at the table has a little quantity of the wine in their glass.
"How is the taste?." Fu Hee asked with her gaze on Fu Geming.
"The wine is of good quality." Fu Geming replied with a smile before downing the whole thing. But then, he received a pinch from his wife, but he ignored her.
"Geming is such a waste to down that fine wine that way." Fu Juan said with pity in her voice as she took her time, drinking from her wine glass.
"Yes, now, all your wine is gone." Fu Lei said, making small talks.
Fu Geming glanced at his empty wine glass before glancing at everybody's wine glass and then he noticed that everybody still had something in their cup.
"Dad, I would have loved to give you some of mine, but unfortunately, I don't have enough for myself." Fu Meixu, the only female in Fu Hua's generation, spoke.
Fu Meixu was the daughter of Fu Geming and Fu ChunHua. She was also Fu Huan and Fu YingPei's cousin.
"It's alright, drink your wine. You never wanted to give it to men in the first place." Fu Geming said to his daughter as he carried on with eating his deserts.
