Chapter 2120: Chapter 2122: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi

But there was also a hint of sarcasm in her smile.

The old butler followed her, glanced at Gu Qing, and whispered, "Miss Gu is a ’smart’ person."

"I’ve seen plenty of people who think they’re clever. You’ve been with me for decades, haven’t you seen such people?" Old Madam Fu pretended to be angry.

The old butler laughed, "Yes, I’ve seen them. But there are always young people who like to be ’smart.’ You and I are old now, yet some people are still young."

For example, the girl standing in front of them now was one of those young people with a ’fighting spirit.’

"It’s a good thing for young people to strive."

"Striving with values more distorted than features is not as good as being down-to-earth."

After a few words, Old Madam Fu became even angrier, looking coldly at Gu Qing, as if her gaze could pierce through flesh to see the soul.

"What do you want?"

"Ah?" Gu Qing was startled for a moment, then quickly waved her hands, "Madam Fu, you misunderstand. I didn’t come with any purpose. I just heard Nuannuan was hospitalized and came to visit. I happened to hear you were inside, so as the younger generation, I’m here to greet you."

"Nuannuan? You’re close with Nuannuan?"

Gu Qing looked down, "Nuannuan helped me before."

She absolutely wouldn’t mention how she later sought out Jiang Nuan to build a connection, nor how Jiang Nuan saw through her little tricks and embarrassed her.

"I once went to Bright Starry Sky to audition for a role, and at that time, my dress got damaged. It was Nuannuan who spoke to the staff on my behalf and adjusted the audition order. Even though it was a small favor, I was especially grateful to her. Nuannuan is a good person. So, when I heard she was ill, I came to see her, not with any specific intention."

"Nuannuan helped you?" Old Madam Fu recalled Jiang Nuan’s unusual demeanor when she returned home the day before yesterday; it turned out to be because of her.

No wonder Nuannuan seemed unhappy after coming back that day.

Her hidden anger grew.

Gu Qing still hadn’t noticed the fury hidden beneath her calm expression. She thought she was using this topic to get closer to Old Madam Fu, so she nodded quickly, "Yes, if it weren’t for her help that day, I wouldn’t have known what to do. I’d only met Nuannuan once before and we drank water together, but I didn’t expect she would help me. She is the kindest girl I have ever met."

"You’re right, she is indeed a kind girl! But..." Old Madam Fu’s tone suddenly turned severe, "Her kindness is not an excuse for you to take advantage!"

"I, I didn’t."

Gu Qing thought things were developing in the direction she wanted, but who knew she would change her face so quickly, instantly turning pale with fear.

"Madam Fu..."

"Who allowed you to call me Madam! Don’t use those tricks meant for ignorant old ladies on me, I’m not the senile person you imagine. You are so eager to throw yourself at Fu Yi; do you even understand our Fu family, do you know Fu Yi’s status in the Fu family?"

Gu Qing bit her lip, her face full of humiliation, and softly said, "I know the Fu family is a prestigious family, I’m not worthy of the Fu family, I don’t have any such thoughts, I’m just..."

"You’re mistaken, Fu family isn’t prestigious."

Old Madam Fu coldly interrupted her words, her left hand touching the jade bracelet on her right wrist. The bracelet had 56 jade beads, each one exquisitely round, displaying a deep green hue that highlighted their rarity. The price of even a single bead of such rarity would be incredibly high, let alone a whole bracelet made from such large, rare beads!
