Chapter 2119: Chapter 2121: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi
The butlerās hesitant voice was heard.
"Old Madam, someone is here to see you."
Old Madam Fu asked impatiently, "Who is it? If itās not someone important, tell them Iām not available."
Jiang Nuan noticed the old butler glance at her again.
"Itās a very important person, I believe the Old Madam should meet them."
"A very important person...?" Old Madam Fu, with her distinguished presence and eyes that vaguely hinted at her youthful beauty, furrowed her brows tightly and cast a sharp, assessing look at the bowing person. After a few secondsā pause, she stood up and said to Jiang Nuan, "Nuannuan, wait for me here, Grandma will be back soon."
"Alright."
Jiang Nuan nodded.
Just before leaving, Old Madam Fu, with a stern face and an aura of authority even in whispers, said, "That better be the āimportantā person you mentioned outside, or else youāre in trouble today!"
"Yes."
The old butler knew well the cost of making a mistake. Serving the Fu family his entire life without any errors, this time he certainly wouldnāt allow himself to falter. The person outside was best met by the Old Madam, lest she cause a disturbance and disrupt the Young Madamās rest. Once the Old Madam met them, she would understand the butlerās intentions.
Before leaving, he closed the door for Jiang Nuan and said gently, "Young Madam, please rest, and call me if you need anything."
"Mm."
The door closed.
...
Outside the door.
Old Madam Fu immediately spotted the woman craning her neck in the corridor. She narrowed her eyes and turned to the butler, "Who is she?"
Gu Qing quickly walked over, standing nervously before her, looking at her with admiration, and softly greeted, "Hello, Madam Fu, I am Gu Qing. I heard Nuannuan was hospitalized, so I came to see her. I just heard you were inside, so I thought Iād say hello."
Throughout her life, Old Madam Fu had seen many people, and such cautious and obsequious faces were nothing new. In response to her flattery, she didnāt even blink, her face cold as she said in a deep voice, "I wasnāt speaking to you!"
Her tone was nothing short of severe!
Gu Qingās face turned pale in an instant.
The old butler was unfazed, speaking softly, "Old Madam, this is Miss Gu, the one who appeared in yesterdayās news with the Young Master."
Gu Qing clearly felt a weight pressing down on her, growing flustered, and stammered, "Madam Fu, there is a misunderstanding in this matter. I didnāt know reporters were following me, let alone that theyād publish this news, causing Director Fu trouble. Iām truly sorry, Iāll call them to retract the story..."
Such a considerate, sensible girl, yet Old Madam Fuās gaze grew only colder, "No need, I will personally call that website. Whoever wrote that article will be fired! News about the Fu family isnāt at anyoneās free disposal! This time itās a warning; next time, whoever harbors ill intentions, Iāll make sure she canāt survive in Capital City!"
Gu Qing couldnāt help but feel the comments were aimed at her; her heart trembled, her legs went weak with fear. But having already come this far, backing down wasnāt an option. She could only bite her tongue and respond carefully, "Iām sorry, Madam Fu, itās because of me, Iāll apologize to Fu Yi."
Old Madam Fu squinted her eyes, her presence overpowering, "Did you not understand my words, or are you pretending not to in front of me?"
Gu Qing raised her head abruptly, her face pale, "...Wh-what do you mean? I donāt understand."
"Heh, it seems you really donāt understand." She turned to the old butler, speaking with a half-smile.
