章節 28: Brought up in a lowly Family
Fu Juan put down her spoon as she gave Fu ChunHua a kind reminder.
"ChunHua if you continue in this way, there may not be the next time for you. Father left you today, but tomorrow, he may really throw you out of the house just like he said. He is leaving you now so that when he makes a decision, nobody will be able to stop him from enforcing it. So you better be careful."
The smile on Fu ChunHua's face was wiped off her face. Right now she was annoyed because everybody seemed to have a problem with her, but not Fu Hee.
'Was Fu Hee better than her? Not possible.' She thought to herself.
This time around, Fu ChunHua called it quits and ate her food in peace.
Throughout the dinner, the only person that didn't say a word was Fu Geming and Fu ChunHua's son, Fu Ling. He was Fu Meixu's older brother.
"Son, do you want more?." Fu ChunHua asked, seeing that he was about to leave the dining table.
"No, thank you." Fu Ling replied. Then, he thanked Fu Hee respectfully before leaving the dining area.
"Ah! it's really good to have a son that doesn't give you troubles." Fu ChunHua said with a proud smile after watching her son walk away.
Fu Hee scoffed and looked away.
Fu Hua wiped his lips and got up to leave.
"You're leaving already?." Fu Hee asked, not surprised by his actions.
"Yeah. I have a lot of work to do, so I will get going." Fu Hua replied before walking away.
"Brother, I'm coming with you," YingPei said as he wiped his lips to join Fu Hua.
"Ah! What bad luck to lack table manners." Fu ChunHua said with her gaze on her food.
Fu Hee heard what she said, in fact, everybody at the dining table did. They would be fools if they didn't know what she was talking about.
A frown turned up on Fu Hee's face, so she was about to say something to her when YingPei beat her to it.
YingPei hadn't gone far when Fu ChunHua said those words, so he paused in his steps to give her a piece of his mind before walking away.
"Aunt, have you heard the saying that goes this way, It is better to be true to yourself than to pretend to be what you are not?."
Fu ChunHua almost choked on the food in her mouth as she watched YingPei walk away casually.
Fu Hee couldn't hold her laughter as she chuckled happily. Fu ChunHua turned her gaze to glare at her.
Fu Geming couldn't tolerate his wife's childishness any longer, so he walked away from the dining area with a scowl on his face.
"Why are you looking at me that way? Am I not allowed to laugh?." Fu Hee asked Fu ChunHua, as she couldn't continue to hold that life anymore.
"Thank you for the dinner." Fu Juan said to Fu Hee as she stood up from her seat before walking away.
Fu Hee returned the appreciation with a smile before turning back to see Fu ChunHua's ugly face.
"Are you finding all of this funny?." Fu ChunHua asked in an annoyed tone as she pointed with her finger.
Fu Hee stopped laughing and cleared her throat before conveying her thoughts.
"For your information, I am not happy that you sent my guest away with your stupidity. You couldn't even contain the fact that you were brought up in a lowly family. Since you asked for my opinion, I will tell you the truth. I think you deserve the reactions you got tonight."
"What?! What did you just say to me?." Fu ChunHua asked. She was fuming right now. Even her daughter who was sitting beside her felt that her Aunt had gone too far with the insults.
She was angry that Fu Hee brought up her family background.
"You heard me right. Now if you will excuse me, I have a better place that needs my presence, enjoy your night!." Fu Hee said to her before walking off.
"Did she just talk about my family?." Fu ChunHua asked with a twisted expression on her face.
"Mum is okay, don't do anything that will make grandpa drive you away." Fu Meixu said to her mother as she tried to calm her down.
Fu ChunHua hated the fact she was back to this place where she had to follow the old man's rules. She couldn't even scream to let out her anger.
She couldn't use curse words, and she couldn't break things to vent her anger or she will be punished.
In the old man's house, if you break or destroy anything in the house deliberately, you will pay twice the amount of it.
With all these rules, Fu ChunHua couldn't vent her anger, and could only swallow everything down.
Her fists were tightly gripping the table clothes and were on the verge of destroying them.
"That..." She started to say but stopped halfway as she was about to use a curse word on Fu Hee.
"Just wait, I will get you soon!." She promised before leaving the dining area with her daughter following after her.
The servant that has been standing behind the old man's empty seat waved bed hands, and the other servants appeared to clean up the dining area.
"Brother, do you think Fu Ling is as innocent as he looks?." Fu YingPei asked Fu Hua. They were both in the bedroom that belonged to one of them.
"I don't know. Fu Ling's thoughts are hard to tell because he doesn't give his emotions away. Is likely that he doesn't care about anything, or he is pretending." Fu Hua replied.
"Ah! I'm so confused." YingPei said as he scratched his hair.
"Go to sleep, and don't disturb me, I have work to do." Fu Hua said to him as he steeled in his seat and desk as he picked up a file and opened it.
"I don't feel sleepy,y," YingPei said as he went to seat on the bed.
"If you don't want to sleep, it's left for you, but leave my room, I don't want any form of distractions." Fu Hua said to him.
He wanted to work right now, and he knew there was no way his brother would remain quiet as he worked it wasn't possible.
