While breastfeeding the little bun, Jia Li caressed her back and played her a slow baby song that could make her feel drowsy, so she could fall asleep faster.
Jasmine who didn't know the tricks her parents were playing on her, fell for it. A few minutes into her drinking her milk, she became drowsy and shut her eyes. Jia Li sighed in relief but didn't dare to slack off.
At last, when they got to the apartment building, Fu Hua parked the car and came down. He went to Jia Li's side to take the little bun from her.
"Put your clothes on, I will give her to mother." Fu Hua said as he lifted the sleeping little bun from her, before closing the car door.
"Is she sleeping already?" Fu Hee asked when the little bun was brought to her.
"Yes. Mum, I will have to trouble you to look after Jasmine as Jia Li won't be coming back today." Fu Hua said with a calm gaze.
"Why?" Fu Hee asked in surprise. Even if Jia Li may be swamped with work today but that shouldn't warrant her not coming back home.
"I have some tasks for them and it will take them all night to finish it." Fu Hua replied.
"You, why didn't you tell her about it? And you were not considerate of your daughter." Fu Hee said to him in an annoyed tone but she didn't dare to shout because of the sleeping Jasmine.
"I can't tell her about it directly, I gave her hints but I'm not sure that she got them." Fu Hua said.
"You..." Fu Hee said with a frown. She didn't have any words left for him. She couldn't believe he was this strict even with his wife.
"Mum, take care of Jasmine, I will be back later at night." Fu Hua said and closed the car door for her. It was after the car drove away that Jia Li came out fully dressed.
"I wanted to catch a glimpse of Jasmine's face." Jia Li said with a pout.
"You will see her when you get back home. The car FJ is sending will be here any minute from now, so stand outside for a bit." Fu Hua said after checking his wristwatch.
Jia Li checked her wristwatch and saw that the time was close. "That's true, hurry up and leave."
After Fu Hua left, it didn't take up to a minute before for the car FJ sent over to arrive.
"Miss Qin." FJ's representative greeted Jia Li after he got out of the car.
"Good morning." Jia Li greeted with a smile.
The representative opened the car door for Jia Li so she could get in.
"Thank you!" Jia Li said with a polite smile as she got into the car.
On the other hand, when Bai Jun saw the person that was sent by FJ to pick her, she acted all high and mighty and got into the car.
She wanted to show off that she was so good that she was selected, hence her attitude.
The first vehicles to arrive in front of FJ were the vans that went to pick up the foreign fashion designers from their accommodation unit.
The second to arrive was a smaller car with a Chinese. The third to arrive was Bai Jun. She had a proud look as she stepped out of the car.
And lastly, Jia Li's car arrived. When she stepped out of the car, all eyes were on her. When Bai Jun saw her face, she became angry and jealous even when she had an idea that she joined the competition.
Jia Li was also surprised to Bai Jun there. She remembered her as FangSu's best friend. She was thinking of the reason Fu Hua didn't tell her about her taking part in the competition. But there was nothing to worry about.
After the first glance at her, Jia Li looked away and walked up to where the others were standing.
The other Chinese citizen seemed to recognize Jia Li and immediately walked up to her.
"You are JL, right?" She asked for clarification as she looked up at Jia Li with an expectant gaze.
Jia Li was surprised that she could still be recognized even though her face has not been on social media for a long time.
Bai Jun got jealous at the sudden attention Jia Li was getting and walked up to a French foreigner to exchange greetings.
"Yes." Jia Li replied with a smile.
"I knew it! Miss Qin, you have changed a little bit but it's good that I recognized you! I can't believe you're here and no one knew you took part in this competition." Baozhai said enthusiastically, she seemed so happy to meet Jia Li.
Jia Li smiled without saying anything. She didn't like the attention she was getting from the other but it's not like she could protest.
Before Baozhai could say another word to Jia Li, someone came out of the building to lead them inside.
Jia Li thought she was free from Baozhai but that was a lie. Boazhai clung to her and began to make small talks.
Bai Jun sneered when she glanced over at them. She hated Baozhai's guts but more especially Jia Li who snatched her man.
The new designers were all taken into a small hall and asked to sit and wait for them to be addressed.
When they were left alone, one of the foreign designers, walked up to Jia Li to exchange a greeting with her.
Bai Jun was ready to make fun of Jia Li because she thought she didn't understand English but to her surprise, that opportunity never came for her because Jia Li seemed to converse effortlessly with the foreigner.
Jia Li was not that good at English but her time spent in the Fu family was not a waste. We had grandfather Fu to thank, for the English classes.
"So I heard you're a good designer, why did you join in the competition?" The foreigner asked.
"I still have a lot to learn." Jia Li replied with a polite smile.
"I like you, you are humble. I will introduce you to the others." The foreigner said with a smile as she took Jia Li's hands.
It was not difficult to tell that she was an American from her accent.
