Xu Tong held her head high. "I don't understand what you're saying. What appointment am I supposed to be keeping?"
"Hey, wasn't there an old man who came to see Sister Xu Tong today? He even told you to wait for him at the hotel. Didn't you agree, Sister Xu Tong? Is he your grandfather? I didn't know your relationship was so close that you could kiss!"
With her innocent and harmless face, Feng Yu spoke seriously. Her words made everyone's eyes widen involuntarily.
Grandfather? An old man!
Hotel? Going to get a room!
Kissing!
Oh my god.
For a moment, all the servants looked at Xu Tong with strange looks in their eyes.
"Oh my, I never thought she was such a person. She looks like a cool and sophisticated woman, but turns out she has such a taste."
"You don't understand. Maybe she's being kept by someone."
A few servants covered their mouths, giggling and clicking their tongues.
Xu Tong's face darkened a bit. "Third Young Mistress, do you have any evidence before you slander me like this? When did someone come to see me? Don't just spout nonsense!"
Feng Yu raised her eyebrows and looked lazy. "Do I need evidence to tell nonsense? I can just say whatever comes to my mind. I saw you making up stories about me so happily."
Xu Tong was instantly speechless.
She originally thought that this useless third young miss of the Feng family would either endure in silence or cry and beg her to be merciful.
She never expected that Feng Yu would fight back like this!
"Third Young Mistress, this is not me making things up. You should know very well what you've done. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many rumors on the Internet."
Xu Tong sneered. Her eyes were full of contempt when she looked at Feng Yu.
What background did she have?
A fallen Feng family and a dead husband.
It was already a blessing for Feng Yu in her previous life that she served her. Yet, she still dared to be so tough with her.
Feng Yu curled her lips into a smile. She casually tucked her hair behind her ears and looked up with cold eyes. "Does Grandma know that most of the rumors are spread by you?"
"Xu Tong, I hope you remember this clearly. You're a bodyguard hired by the Fu family, not some paparazzi or tabloid journalist who can just spout nonsense. If you can't remember, I don't think I need you. Your presence is a great danger to me."
Feng Yu's eyes were cold. Her words were slow but full of deterrence.
Xu Tong was speechless for a moment.
Feng Yu's gaze fell on the servants who were watching the show. She continued, "If I find anyone spreading rumors or gossiping again, don't blame me for being merciless."
"Oh, I'm indeed a widow with no background and a dead husband. But I think Grandma Fu won't let those who smear the Fu family go easily."
Feng Yu's words hit exactly where they were afraid.
The servants didn't dare to cause any more trouble.
They all gave Xu Tong a blaming look.
If it weren't for her blabbering, they wouldn't have been scolded.
Xu Tong felt embarrassed. She was scolded by an 18 - year - old girl, but she was helpless.
Feng Yu was right. She had no background, but Grandma was not someone who would let things go easily.
Feng Yu's phone kept ringing. She glanced at the caller ID and a smile appeared on her face.
She walked outside and answered the call happily.
"Are you okay?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Feng Yu's heart raced.
"Fu..."
She only said one word and quickly stopped.
This was still the Fu family compound. She had to be extra careful.
Hearing her energetic voice, the corners of Fu Qianchen's mouth also curled up a bit.
Since he heard that Grandma had arranged a personal bodyguard for her, he hadn't been able to chat with her alone.
He missed her voice so much after not hearing it for a long time.
Now that he heard it, he was in an extremely good mood.
"Baby, I miss you."
Fu Qianchen's voice was hoarse and a bit tired.
"Me too."
Feng Yu held the phone tightly. Listening to that voice that made her heart flutter, it was as if he was right in front of her.
"Are you still getting used to it? Do you want to come back? I'll send someone to pick you up." Fu Qianchen asked.
Feng Yu saw the maid passing by and bowing slightly to her. She composed herself a bit. "It's okay. No need."
Before she could chat much with Fu Qianchen, Xu Tong followed her.
As soon as she saw Feng Yu on the phone, she immediately asked,
"I wonder who's calling the young mistress at this time."
Feng Yu covered the phone and her eyes turned cold. "Who I'm talking to has nothing to do with you, right?"
Xu Tong sneered. "I'm afraid the young mistress has forgotten that the old madam asked me to protect your safety. I'm just worried that you might be deceived. I don't want to be blamed if you end up in bed with someone and the photos are taken, which would disgrace the Fu family."
Feng Yu's face darkened. She instantly lost the mood to be affectionate with Fu Qianchen.
On the other end of the phone, Fu Qianchen's voice came through. "Is she still causing trouble for you?"
Fu Qianchen's tone was not good.
Feng Yu was worried that he would take action, so she quickly said, "I'm okay. That's it for now."
Fu Qianchen twirled the pen in his hand. His dark eyes turned extremely cold. "No matter what, promise me not to let yourself be wronged. Otherwise..."
"I will never forgive them!"
Fu Qianchen's words were cold and overbearing.
But Feng Yu felt his tenderness. In fact, Fu Qianchen was really patient.
She said she wanted to rely on her own strength. So, even though Xu Tong monitored her 24/7 and she couldn't chat with him, he endured it.
She said she wanted to reach the same height as him and be able to help him, and asked him not to come to her for the time being.
He also endured it.
He was just an ordinary man, but for her, he endured everything.
How could she not be moved by such a man?
"Okay."
Feng Yu hung up the phone with a smile on her face.
Xu Tong raised her eyebrows and said in a sarcastic tone, "Third Young Mistress, I hope you still remember your identity. You're a widow of the Fu family. Don't say I'm spreading rumors. If people find out about anything... Well, the old madam might have to have a serious talk with you."
Feng Yu didn't want to pay attention to her. She gave her a cold look and walked away.
Xu Tong immediately chased after her. "The old madam wants you to go to the outer courtyard. Now."
What did Grandma Fu want her for at this time? She had already had dinner, and all that needed to be said had been said.
Feng Yu was unsure. Seeing Xu Tong's gloating expression, a bad feeling welled up in her heart.
When they arrived at the room in the outer courtyard, Xu Tong knocked on the door. She was respectful to Grandma Fu.
"Old Madam, the young mistress is here."
"Come in." It was the housekeeper beside the old madam who spoke.
She opened the door for them.
Feng Yu looked inside and found that it was an extremely quiet room.
There was a faint smell of incense in the room. After walking in, she found that there were various ancestral tablets placed in front of her.
It turned out that this outer courtyard was the ancestral hall.
Grandma was sitting there, holding a string of prayer beads and chanting scriptures.
Hearing the noise, a kind smile immediately appeared on her face. "Xiaoyu is here."
Feng Yu walked over obediently. Grandma Fu patted the seat beside her. "Come here. Stay with this old woman and ring the bell tonight."
A strange look flashed across Feng Yu's eyes. She saw Grandma Fu's tears come out instantly. Looking at the memorial tablets in front of her, her voice trembled. "My poor grandson. He was so well - behaved and cute before. He finally got married, but then he got sick."
Feng Yu observed Grandma secretly.
Grandma's tears were real. She was really crying and heartbroken.
"Today is Qianchen's 100th day after his death. I can't believe he's gone. My poor grandson."
"Please accept my condolences." Feng Yu comforted her by patting her hand.
Although she had heard Mr. Fu talk about Grandma Fu before, it was still hard for her to tell at this moment.
The Grandma in front of her now was just a lonely old woman who had lost her grandson.
Was this really the bad person who had driven Mr. Fu's mother crazy back then?
