So Fu Qingruo spoke directly: "It's been so long since we last met, and you're still so noisy. Can't you learn to be quiet for a while?"
Li Rumeng was speaking enthusiastically when she was suddenly interrupted. Her face turned pale instantly, feeling both embarrassed and ashamed. She could only try to explain, "Sister Fu, I was just so happy to see you. We haven't seen each other for so many years, and this woman..."
As Li Rumeng spoke, tears welled in her eyes: "She's a vixen! Not only does she boss Geng Geng and Huai Huai around like they're royalty, making the children serve her tea and water, acting like she's the master, but she also tried to seduce President Fu... I've never seen such a shameless vixen before, so arrogant, selfish, and oblivious to her place—"
"Huaihuai, do you know what it means to be shameless?" Li Rumeng was speaking enthusiastically when suddenly a tender and cute voice rang out. Li Rumeng looked in the direction of the voice and saw three little balls of fur coming down the stairs. The one who spoke was the little fur ball in the lead.
Huaihuai opened her big, watery eyes, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Does it look like the aunt in front of me?"
"Smart! Ten points!" The little furball snapped a finger and glanced at Geng Geng happily.
But then Geng Geng jumped down the stairs expressionlessly, walked directly to Li Rumeng, and said coldly, "Auntie, I think you're the one who doesn't know your place."
Upon hearing this, Li Rumeng's face flushed with even more shame and indignation. She looked at Fu Qingruo pleadingly, but Fu Qingruo seemed completely oblivious to her attitude, stepping forward and grabbing Huaihuai's hand without even glancing at her. Li Rumeng could only suppress her anger and force a smile, saying, "Genggeng, you're still young, you might not have learned to use the right words yet..."
"You're saying that Geng Geng is so old and still doesn't know how to use her words? Are you implying that our Fu family has no manners? Or that our Fu family can't afford good teachers to educate our children!" Before she could finish her tirade, Fu Qingruo interrupted coldly, "Geng Geng is right."
Upon hearing this, Li Rumeng visibly froze, her expression becoming even more distorted.
Fu Qingruo's gaze was icy as she looked at her, and she said without any politeness, "Miss Yi is a guest invited by my Fu family. What right do you have to criticize her? What are your true intentions!"
"I..." Li Rumeng didn't expect Fu Qingruo to speak up for Yi Tianran. She felt even more resentful, but she pretended to be sad and said, "Sister Fu, I didn't have any ulterior motives. I just didn't want you to be deceived by her. After all, in my heart, we are family. How can you doubt me because of an outsider!"
"Family?" Fu Qingruo sneered. "Li Rumeng, it seems you really don't understand your place. You really think our Fu family can treat you well and pamper you? You've taken advantage of our kindness."
Upon hearing this, Li Rumeng opened her mouth anxiously, but Fu Qingruo didn't give her a chance to speak: "Don't take advantage of Uncle Li's past saving of my father and develop other intentions. Our family will repay the kindness, but at the same time, you must remember: First, Uncle Li took a bullet for my father back then, and he wasn't seriously injured. My father went to great lengths to repay the kindness afterward. Second, Uncle Li always said that if my grandfather hadn't adopted him back then, he would have starved to death long ago. Therefore, he never thought of considering himself a benefactor, let alone having any overstepping idea of asking the Fu family to repay him with their bodies."
After saying this, Fu Qingruo looked at Li Rumeng coldly and asked, "Do you understand?"
Yi Tianran, who was standing to the side, raised an eyebrow as if she had just realized something.
No wonder this famous Li was able to get close to the Fu family again and again; it turns out it was because of the favors her father had received…
Li Rumeng was so embarrassed that her face turned red and her chest felt like it was blocked by a phlegm. She was so ashamed that she almost vomited blood.
Over the years, Fu Qingruo had never said such harsh words to her, but now, because of a vixen who seduced Fu Yunchen, he showed her such ruthlessness, making her feel utterly ashamed.
At this moment, old and new grudges surged into her heart, and she blamed all her scores on Yi Tianran.
She lowered her head, gently biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth, tears welling in her eyes. She looked pitiful as she said, "I'm sorry, Sister Fu. I never intended to take advantage of your kindness. I overstepped my bounds this time. I hope you won't be angry."
“You don’t need to apologize to me,” Fu Qingruo said generously. As she breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly changed the subject: “You should apologize to Miss Yi.”
Li Rumeng stared wide-eyed in disbelief, almost unable to catch her breath.
Make her apologize to that bitch?
Isn't this trampling on her self-esteem?
At this moment, her gaze towards Yi Tianran was filled with crimson.
Yi Tianran met Li Rumeng's gaze and naturally knew that Fu Qingruo was trying to shift the blame and sow discord between them. However, she didn't care. After all, she could never be friends with this kind of person. Since Fu Qingruo was willing to help her get revenge, she would accept it. She adjusted her posture and said with a smile, "Miss Li doesn't need to prepare any lavish gifts to apologize. Apologizing and knowing that you were wrong is enough."
Upon hearing this, Fu Qingruo's forehead twitched. Was this woman truly ignorant, or was she feigning ignorance, that she actually...
But she was the one who said it, so she naturally continued. She nodded and exclaimed, "Look at her! She's beautiful, kind-hearted, and so generous and dignified. She doesn't even hold it against you. You should thank her properly."
"..." Li Rumeng felt as if her face was being slapped repeatedly, wishing she could bury her head in her chest, her gaze towards Yi Tianran filled with hatred.
That pretentious bitch, she'll definitely get her revenge.
After hastily uttering a few words, she turned and fled as if she were running away, fearing that Fu Qingruo would still hold onto her.
After everyone left, Fu Qingruo chuckled and then stared at Yi Tianran with great interest. Now that's good. Given Li Rumeng's petty and narrow-minded personality, she will definitely direct all her hatred at Yi Tianran. Fu Qingruo just needs to stand aside and watch the show!
As soon as Li Rumeng disappeared, the little furball sighed: "Aren't celebrities supposed to be rich? She really just gave a verbal apology and that was it? That's so stingy!"
Geng Geng sneered: "Everything she has was given to her by the Fu family. If she dares to bully Mommy again, she'll make her spit it all out."
Huaihuai rushed into Yi Tianran's arms and said, "It's okay, Mommy, Huaihuai isn't stingy. Huaihuai has lots of money and can buy lots of gifts for Mommy. Don't be sad, Mommy!"
Fu Qingruo's smug mood was overshadowed by the loving mother and filial children before her, and she said with some melancholy, "Geng Geng and Huai Huai, have you forgotten about your aunt?"
Seeing her come back, they didn't even make a sound. They're such ingrates, boohoo... But she still loves them to bits!
