"You'll accompany this old woman tonight," said Mrs. Fu.
Feng Yu shook her head. "Mr. Fu was my husband. It's only right that I keep vigil for him."
"What a sensible child," Mrs. Fu said, patting her hand. But secretly, she winked at the butler beside her. Then she picked up her Buddhist beads and continued chanting scriptures.
The butler walked up to Feng Yu and said with a smile, "Young mistress, for the sake of your sincere prayers for the third young master, would you mind handing over your phone to us for safekeeping?"
Phone?
Feng Yu looked at Mrs. Fu.
Mrs. Fu didn't even glance at her. It seemed to be Mrs. Fu's idea.
"Or does the third young mistress have something to hide?" the butler preemptively questioned.
Mrs. Fu also looked over at her.
Feng Yu immediately lifted her innocent-looking face and said, "Of course not. Wait a moment while I turn it off. I don't want the matters from the crew to disturb grandma."
While no one was paying attention, Feng Yu pressed the safety button on her phone, putting it into safe mode.
In this mode, her phone would only show a blank screen. There was nothing to find, and even the most skilled hackers would have a hard time cracking the safe mode she had set.
No matter who got hold of her phone, they wouldn't be able to use it.
She had anticipated this day, so she had set this security key in her phone long ago.
Seeing Feng Yu hand over her phone, Mrs. Fu and the butler exchanged a look. Mrs. Fu patted Feng Yu on the shoulder again and said, "Child, kneel down properly. In front of you is not only your husband but also the ancestors of the Fu family."
"Okay."
Feng Yu watched as the butler took her phone and left. She didn't say a word and obediently knelt down beside the coffin.
Mrs. Fu nodded in satisfaction and started twirling the beads in her hand again.
On the other side, at the Fu Group building.
Zhao Yang flattered Fu Liangshen with a smile. "Mr. Fu, Feng Yu has been called by the old madam to kneel in the mourning hall. From what the old madam said, she wants Feng Yu to kneel all night. Kneeling in the mourning hall for a whole night will teach her a good lesson in the following days."
Fu Liangshen curled his lips, his eyes full of pride.
"Mr. Fu, your plan is really brilliant!"
Zhao Yang immediately praised his boss. "You asked the old madam to assign a female bodyguard to that girl. On the surface, it's to protect her, but in fact, it's to monitor her. Using Mrs. Fu's hand to torture that girl is really a high - level move!"
He paused for a moment and continued to flatter. "Feng Yu thought that Mrs. Fu had placed a confidant beside her, but she never imagined that this confidant was actually your person, Mr. Fu."
"Go and warn Xu Tong. Tell her to come up with more ways to teach that girl a lesson," Fu Liangshen said, his eyes showing a hint of strangeness. He waved his hand and added, "By the way, make sure to tell Xu Tong to be careful not to let grandma know that she's actually my person. Understand?"
"Understood!" Zhao Yang nodded in response.
Fu Liangshen was extremely proud.
He sneered coldly. Trying to fight him? Oh, that little girl was still too inexperienced!
With just a few words, he had the old madam wrapped around his finger. Now, the old madam was teaching her a lesson, making her experience what it meant to be a granddaughter - in - law.
It was time to take the edge off her.
Just as Fu Liangshen was feeling extremely proud, his phone rang.
When he saw the two - character note, his face immediately showed panic. He held the phone and walked to the balcony away from others to answer it.
"Sir, why did you call? Do you have any instructions?"
The usually arrogant Fu Liangshen was now as submissive as a grandson. If anyone saw this, they would surely be shocked with their jaws dropped.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Fu Liangshen was extremely respectful to the person on the phone, nodding and bowing. He looked as humble as could be.
"How's the situation?" a cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
Fu Liangshen immediately replied, "Sir, you don't know. The president of Hailan Company is just a pretty boy. He has no quality at all. He even insulted our Fu Group several times."
"The people over there are all greedy. They even asked for five hundred million! The president of Hailan is definitely a puppet invited by Feng Yu! It must be Feng Yu who is greedy and wants to swallow up our Fu family bit by bit!"
"Also, sir, you don't know. This Feng Yu, oh, that little girl actually dares to fight against me. She even went to endorse products for others. She didn't give me any face at all. I think she's just a cheap slut who has been played around with!"
"A good - for - nothing fool who was locked up by the Feng family for ten years still wants to show off. It's just a daydream!"
"She even tried to play with me. Oh, with just a little trick, I've got her in check. She's now locked in the ancestral hall by that old woman, kneeling. Don't worry, I'll never let anyone who insults me get away. I'll teach her a lesson sooner or later."
The more Fu Liangshen talked, the more proud he became. He was beaming with arrogance.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
After a long while, the cold voice rang out again. "Come to the Purple Night Bar."
Fu Liangshen was startled for a moment, then nodded and bowed again. "Okay."
...
On the other side, Fu Geyue had just finished discussing Feng Yu's upcoming schedule with the producer Lao Wang of the crew and was about to leave in a hurry.
She originally planned to go find Feng Yu, but when she reached her car, she met a man who had been waiting there for a long time.
Fu Geyue clenched her fists and ignored him. She tried to push past him and leave.
Mu Li frowned and grabbed her.
"Mr. Mu, are we very familiar? Please let go," Fu Geyue said with a cold face.
Mu Li's handsome face showed a hint of displeasure. "Geyue, stop being naughty."
"Naughty? Mr. Mu must be joking. Which eye of yours saw me being naughty? Oh, I understand. I'm not Feng Yayin. I'm not as gentle and good at pretending as she is. Sorry, Mr. Mu, you've got the wrong person!"
Fu Geyue slammed the car door shut. Mu Li pressed on the door to stop her from getting in. The two of them were at a stand - off.
"Do you have to misunderstand me?" Mu Li's tone was also a bit cold.
"Mr. Mu's words are really funny. What have I misunderstood you about? Do you really think you're important to me?"
Fu Geyue got angry just thinking about what had happened before.
One phone call from Feng Yayin could get him to rush away.
He would agree to whatever she said.
Every time she saw them together, he would always tell her not to misunderstand.
Was it really true that those who were favored were always fearless?
She had comforted herself countless times that there was no ambiguous relationship between them. But every time she saw them acting so intimately...
She couldn't deceive herself anymore!
She even dreamt of the scene of him hugging Feng Yayin.
How could she accept that?
The veins on Mu Li's forehead popped out. "Fu Geyue! Take back what you just said."
Fu Geyue straightened her back and looked into his cold and terrifying eyes. "Tsk, getting angry from embarrassment? Why bother? You've got your beauty in your arms. Why do you care what I say?"
Mu Li's eyes were terrifying. Fu Geyue clenched her fists. It was clearly he who had done something wrong.
Why did he always come to scold her?
"Take it back? Why should I? Just because someone likes you doesn't mean everyone does. Mu Li, I have no feelings for you. Even if I saw you sleeping with Feng Yayin now, I wouldn't care!"
Fu Geyue stared into his eyes, her anger boiling over.
Suddenly.
Mu Li fell silent.
The way he looked at her became even more terrifying.
After a while, he said sinisterly, "Fine, as you wish."
He got into the luxury car that had been parked there for a long time and said coldly, "Drive."
The driver looked at the terrifying man and couldn't help but whisper, "Master Mu, are you really going to Feng Yayin's place?"
Mu Li didn't say a word.
The driver gave Fu Geyue an apologetic look and drove away.
When Fu Geyue came to her senses and saw the man leaving in a hurry, she was instantly filled with extreme anger. "All men are scumbags! Mu Li, you brute, you scoundrel!" She pounded on the steering wheel hard.
Mu Li's look just now was very serious. She was afraid that he might act on impulse and really go through with it.
But then, she got angry all over again.
It was clearly he who had been entangled with Feng Yayin.
Why should she compromise!
Fu Geyue called Feng Yu, hoping to pour out all her grievances, but there was no answer.
She walked into the bar disappointedly. As soon as she entered, the memories of the past came flooding back.
That day, she had also been in a cold war with Mu Li. But then he had coaxed her, and they had even...
Fu Geyue's ears turned red. But then, she got angry again.
She gulped down one glass of wine after another. "Scumbag, cheap man! I don't care about you! I don't care at all!"
