Addicted to Love, Mr. Fu’s Newly Married Wife

The moment Xiaomei saw Xu Xiaoxiao and Fu Yanchen, a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe they would appear here at this time.

"Xiaoxiao, Mr. Fu, why are you here? My grandma is seriously ill, and I have no choice but to come back in a hurry. I haven't handed over the store clearly yet, I..."

There was a hint of anxiety and helplessness in Xiaomei's voice. As she explained, her eyes revealed her deep concern for her grandmother.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaomei, she could see the doubt in Xiaomei's eyes.

Xiaomei certainly didn't look like she was lying. Her eyes were clear and transparent, without any trace of lying.

"Yeah! I came here because I was worried about grandma, and you didn't explain clearly, and you made us worry."

Xu Xiaoxiao said softly, with some concern in her words. She looked around. The house was an old rural house and a bit shabby, but the house was very tidy and clean. However, Xiaomei's parents were not there, and there was not even a trace of their life. "Xiaomei, do you live with just you and your grandmother? Where are your... parents?"

When Xiaomei heard this, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

She was silent for a while before she slowly spoke: "My mother favors boys over girls, and my father is henpecked. Whatever my mother says is true. They sold the family land when I was only ten years old, took the money, and took my brother to the city. My grandmother was worried about me, so she stayed behind and raised me by picking up waste. There has been no news from them over the years."

Xiaomei's voice was a little choked with sobs, and it was obvious that she was still frightened by her past experiences.

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but reveal a look of sympathy. He could understand Xiaomei's situation, and could also feel her deep gratitude and respect for her grandmother.

"How is your grandma's condition?" Xu Xiaoxiao's voice was full of concern. She really couldn't bear to talk about things in the store at this time.

Xiaomei's eyes flashed with gratitude when she heard this. She knew that Xu Xiaoxiao's coming to see her at this time was the greatest support for her.

"It's under control, but the doctor said if it's not treated properly, the disease will relapse at any time."

Xiaomei's voice was filled with worry, and it was obvious that she was still very worried about her grandmother's condition. "I was planning to bring my grandmother to the city so that it would be more convenient to take care of her, but... I'm afraid that I won't be able to work properly if I do that."

Xu Xiaoxiao was moved when she heard this. She knew that Xiaomei had given a lot and endured a lot for her grandmother.

She gently held Xiaomei's hand, giving her silent support and encouragement.

"Xiao Mei, don't worry, your grandma will be fine. We will do our best to help you. You take care of things here first, and I will arrange the hospital. As for where your grandma lives, I will take care of it."

There was firmness and warmth in Xu Xiaoxiao's words. She hoped that her words could bring some comfort and strength to Xiaomei.

Xiaomei's eyes became moist when she heard this.

She looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with gratitude, knowing that at this time, having their company and support was her greatest luck.

"Xiaomei, we are here this time because of some things in the store."

Xu Xiaoxiao said softly, with some hesitation and struggle in her words.

She didn't know how to ask about the payment for the goods, let alone how to face the possible consequences.

However, she knew that she had to figure out the situation. For the future of the store and for her friendship with Xiaomei. She hoped that this was just a misunderstanding and that Xiaomei could give her a reasonable explanation.

"Yes, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. I was a little busy this month because of grandma's affairs, and you were also busy with the herbal tea business. After my cousin found out, he volunteered to help buy ingredients. I took him shopping a few times, and he got familiar with those people. He has been doing it this month."

"I won't have time in the next few days, Xiaoxiao, you can handle it yourself! Or you can let Sister Na go." Xiaomei's words were filled with apology and helplessness. It was obvious that she felt very guilty for her negligence during this period. Her cousin also helped for free without asking for any money.

"Your cousin?" Xu Xiaoxiao frowned and asked. She had an ominous premonition in her heart, as if something was about to surface. Could it be...

"Yeah!" Xiaomei nodded, a hint of uneasiness flashing in her eyes, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, my cousin and I have had a good relationship since childhood, and I saw that he handled it well and it was free help, so I didn't tell you." She actually realized that this approach was wrong.

Fu Yanchen frowned as he listened to this. He couldn't help but say, "Xiaomei, do you know that ingredients are very important to you who make food? How can you just hand it over to outsiders? If something goes wrong, who will be responsible? He is not an employee of your company. If something goes wrong, he can just walk away. Xiaoxiao is the legal person and should be responsible."

There was a hint of blame and dissatisfaction in his voice, and he was obviously very disappointed with Xiaomei's decision.

Xiaomei's eyes became moist when she heard this.

She knew she had made a mistake and that this decision might have caused irreparable damage to the store.

She whispered in defense: "I know I was wrong, I just...I just had no other choice at the time, so I asked my cousin for help. He is a very kind person."

"Then... do you know..." Fu Yanchen was just about to ask Xiaomei if she knew her cousin's specific whereabouts or more about the payment for the goods, but was interrupted by Xu Xiaoxiao.

"Okay, Xiaomei, I understand. Now you..."
