Chapter 246 - An Opportunity To Take Revenge
Fu Hee heard the news of her daughter's misfortune from a servant that was kind enough to come and report to her and immediately left for FangSu's bedroom in worry.
By the time she got there, two servants were already cleaning up the mess in her bedroom while FangSu was sitting on the couch cross-legged with folded arms. She was clearly unhappy.
Fu Hee went to her side and pulled her up before dragging her to her own bedroom. Then she locked the door before turning to see the indifferent look on FangSu's face.
"How could you get yourself in this mess after my reminder?" Fu Hee asked as she walked up to her.
."Mum, I'm not in the mood to receive another scolding. If this is the reason you brought me to your bedroom, I'm leaving!" FangSu said as she tried to walk away but Fu Hee pulled her back.
"What are you getting angry for? I should be the one angry because you didn't listen to me. Do you know what you've lost because of your reckless actions? You've lost your grandfather's trust and I heard he ordered a car for you but who knows if he would still give it to you after what you did."
FangSu looked surprised as she asked, "Grandfather ordered a car for me?"
Fu Hee sighed and replied, "That's what I heard. He ordered a car for you and Fu Meixu."
FangSu fell into deep thought. If her grandfather did place a car order for her then it was likely he wouldn't release the car gift to her since he was unhappy with her.
She didn't want to apologize to him because she felt wronged by his harsh treatment but she couldn't lose the car gift as it was very important, so she was ready to bend her pride.
"SuSu, if you still want your gift, you have to go and apologize to your grandfather. You were really impulsive by taking Bai Jun to visit your brother and you also treated Jia Li unfairly after all the reminders I gave to you." Fu Hee said to her with a frown.
When she thought about what her daughter has lost due to her impulsive behavior, she still felt angry with her. If she had listened to her, she wouldn't have fallen out of favor so soon.
FangSu listened to her mother and went to find her grandfather but she was not allowed to see him with the excuse that he was attending a crucial meeting.
FangSu left disappointed and went back to her mother's bedroom to complain.
Fu Hee understood that it was either a tactic used by the old man because he didn't want to see her or that it was actually true.
Fu Hee consoled her and asked her to try again later. She also showed her ways she could show how remorseful she was, so the old man can release her car gift.
It was a happy evening for Fu ChunHua with all the commotion that was going on in the house. She couldn't enjoy it alone and had to call her daughter to come home.
"...this is the opportunity for you to take revenge on her because she is no longer in favor." Fu ChunHua said to Fu Meixu.
Fu Meixu chuckled happily from the other side of the phone and said, "Mum, I'll be in time for dinner. I can't miss the opportunity of making fun of that proud peacock 🦚 this will indeed be a fun night."
"Alright, I have to go and check on the dinner preparation. Come home on time." Fu ChunHua said before ending the call.
Both mother and daughter were happy with the turn of events and this was their moment to shine.
When Fu Hua came out from the inner room, he was already dressed in comfy clothes. He went straight to the bed and hugged his wife who's face was now looking better.
He apologized again and said to her, "Next time, don't tolerate anyone being rude to you. You are not allowed to cry, you're free to scold the person."
Jia Li did not reply but she smiled within her. To show that she didn't hold a grudge against him, she said she was hungry and proceeded to get off the bed.
Fu Hua wanted to ask if it was just food she thinks about all day but he refrained from doing that as he didn't want her to feel bad.
He followed her down the stairs to get some food. The housekeeper sighed in relief when she saw the husband and wife were relaxed and chatting with each other while having dinner.
When Fu Meixu arrived at the residence, she immediately went to meet her grandfather with an expensive painting she bought for him.
Butler Lu allowed her to get into the old man's study to present her gift.
"Grandfather, this is a little gift I got for you from the recommendation of my friend, I hope it's to your taste." Fu Meixu said with a sweet smile.
"Leave it there, I will check it out tomorrow morning. How was the filming?" Grandfather Fu asked without looking up at her.
Fu Meixu beamed with smiles as this was the first time her grandfather showed care towards her in a long time, so she answered enthusiastically.
"It went well and the crew members treated me well. We just wrapped up the filming with a party."
After leaving her grandfather's study, she went to meet with her mother and they both chatted and laughed over the misfortune that had fallen upon Fu Hee and FangSu.
"Meixu, you still have to be careful and continue to treat Jia Li well, remember, we can't afford to go back to the state we were in before now." Fu ChuHua reminded her daughter.
"I know mother, there is nothing to worry about. I'm starting to like Jia Li because she is calm and doesn't like trouble, so I will continue to take care of her and besides, I'm already getting a lot of benefits from taking care of her already." Fu Meixu said and laughed over it.
Fu Meixu was not in a hurry to see FangSu who had locked up herself in her bedroom. Instead, she smiled and made her way to her bedroom, to make a call.
When she thought about the person she was going to call, she smiled brightly and quickened her steps.
