Chapter 245 - Grandfather Fu Punishes FangSu
Throughout their journey back home, FangSu cried while Bai Jun consoled. When they arrived at the Bai residence, Bai Jun hugged FangSu before getting of the car.
FangSu managed to control her emotions and wave a goodbye to Bai Jun and there was no way she would have gone in to greet Bai Fen because she looked horrible.
After dropping off Bai Jun, FangSu left for the Fu residence.
It was after FangSu left that Bai Jun revealed her true emotions. When saw her mother she started crying.
Bai Fen was alarmed and immediately went to hug her daughter and brought her into her bedroom before anyone sees her crying and got curious.
"Bai Jun, why are you crying? What happened? Did anyone bully you?" Bai Fen asked series of questions after they both sat on the bed.
Bai Jun did not say anything until she had cried to her heart"s content, and only then did she speak..
"Mum, can you believe that brother Fu Hua did not recognize me?"
Bai Fen frowned asked, "Is that the reason you"re crying? It"s normal if he doesn"t recognize you as he hasn"t seen you in a long time. There is no need to cry about it."
"Mum, that"s not all!" Bai Jun cried out and then went on to explain everything that happened.
"... Brother Fu Hua sent FangSu and me, out of his house and banned us from coming over. He didn"t bother to given me a proper look and treated me like a stranger."
Bai Fen cursed Jia Li as she tried to stop her daughter from crying. She wanted to curse Fu Hua as well, for making her daughter cry but then she remembered that he was the one she wanted to marry her daughter to, so she held her tongue.
Bai Jun felt that her looks and the effort she put in to dress up were in vain as Fu Hua did not acknowledge her presence and didn"t recognize her. This was a waste of effort.
Bai Fen consoled her and told her they would find another solution to make her and Fu Hua get closer and only then did she calm down.
As for FangSu, her eyes were already looking swollen when she walked into the house. And before she could walk towards her room, she met Butler Lu who came over with an instruction from the old man, he wanted to see her immediately.
FangSu did not think too much about it and followed Butler Lu. She was even thinking of how she would pour out her grievances to her grandfather when she got to his study, so he could take revenge for her.
As FangSu stepped inside the study and was about to start crying, she met her grandfather"s disappointed gaze and slowly swallowed her words.
Without the time to beat around the bush, grandfather Fu let her remain to stand, while he went straight to the point.
"I was told you went to visit your brother with the daughter of the Bai family and you were rude to your sister-in-law. You just came back and you"re already causing trouble just like your mother. I will forgive you just one time because it"s your first offense but you cannot visit your brother again. Go back and reflect on your mistakes."
FangSu was not given any chance to react as Butler Lu immediately showed her the door after Grandfather Fu finished speaking.
FangSu did not feel sorry and instead felt more aggrieved because of the treatment she received from the old man, so she didn"t apologize.
Her heart was full of fury as her old man did not indulge her. He looked disappointed and didn"t wait to hear from her side of the story before giving her a heavy punishment.
To FangSu, that was a heavy punishment but she didn"t know that this was the lightest punishment her grandfather could give to her because he has doted on her for so many years. But he wouldn"t be so forgiving if there was a next time.
"Do you think I went too easy on her?" Grandfather Fu asked.
"Sir, your punishment was perfect. But the young miss wouldn"t think like that." Butler Lu replied.
"I wanted to deal greatly with her because of her impulsive behavior but it still wouldn"t make her change. Maybe she wants to get to a state worse than her mother"s before she repents." Grandfather Fu said with a disappointed tone.
He tried his best to balance the relations.h.i.+p in his family but it looks like it wasn"t working. He wasn"t tired of playing his role to keep his family united. But he wouldn"t tolerate anyone that dares to play tricks and go against the rules.
Immediately FangSu got to her bedroom, she locked the door and started throwing things on the floor. She broke two of the expensive flower vase and broke her bedside lamp. She nearly tore the pillows on her bed.
After she calmed down a little and was breathing heavily out of anger and frustration, Butler Lu came with a servant to her bedroom.
They knocked and walked in. Butler Lu wasn"t surprised with the state of her bedroom. He didn"t say anything to her, as he opened the long ledger in his hand and went through it while glancing at the things she broke.
FangSu had no idea of what he was doing but she was too tired to say anything to him, so she let him do whatever he wanted.
After making some notes, Butler Lu handed the piece of paper to FangSu.
"Miss Su, that"s your bill. According to Sir"s order, you were given 50% off, on each item you destroyed and the money is to be taken off from your monthly allowance starting from next month. It will take 3 months to pay off your debts completely."
FangSu thought she just heard the lamest joke of the century as she listened to Butler Fu while glancing at the list in her hands.
It was a list of the items she just destroyed with their original prices and the 50 percent off it was given.
"Butler Lu is this some kind of joke or something?" FangSu asked with an annoyed gaze.
Butler Lu glanced at her and explained, "The old master was benevolent enough to give you a 50% discount for each item you damaged since you might have forgotten the rules, so he sent me here to remind you about it. If you don"t believe what I said, you can ask your mother, Madam Fu Hee and she will explain better."
After saying that, Butler Lu bid her good night before leaving.
He was surprised the old man didn"t hesitate to dish out punishment to FangSu after they both receive a report of her breaking things in her room.
