Chapter 144: 144 Ancestral Hall

Old Master Fu turned back to look at Fu Xiaoxiao. His gaze fell on the distinctive palm print on her face, and a trace of heartache flashed across his eyes.

This was his precious granddaughter!

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Fu Xiaoxiao speak coquettishly.

“Grandpa, I’m in pain.” She looked at Old Master Fu with a wronged expression and tried to squeeze out a few tears. She knew that her grandfather had always been soft-hearted toward her and would definitely not blame her subsequently.

Hearing what Fu Xiaoxiao said, Old Master Fu froze faintly.

All of a sudden, he remembered that Fu Xiaoxiao would act coquettishly toward him every time she did something wrong in the past.

Old Master Fu had always been soft-hearted toward her. He could not bear to punish her, so he kept spoiling her.

But now, Fu Xiaoxiao had grown up and was no longer a child. Although, she did not come out well. If she did not straighten up, he was afraid that her life would be ruined!

No, he had to be ruthless. As Old Master Fu thought of this, he said sternly, “Change your clothes and come to the ancestral hall.”

Hearing Old Master Fu’s words, Fu Xiaoxiao’s face was ashen.

Her body trembled involuntarily. Fu Xiaoxiao wanted to beg for mercy, but when she saw his displeased face, she got so scared that she did not dare to say a word.

It was over. Grandpa was really angry. What should she do?

Fu Xiaoxiao stood rooted to the ground, at a loss for words.

After saying that, Old Master Fu did not bother with her anymore. He turned and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall.

Just as he walked halfway down the way, he tilted his head and said to Butler Fu, who was at his side. “Go and keep an eye on Fu Xiaoxiao. Make sure she gets to the ancestral hall quickly.”

“Okay,” Butler Fu replied. However, he was called back by Old Master Fu when he was about to leave.

“By the way, don’t let her look for Su Xiu,” he reminded, before lifting his feet and walking toward the ancestral hall.

Su Xiu was Fu Xiaoxiao’s mother, and was known to be merciful.

Fu Xiaoxiao grew up under Su Xiu’s pampering.

If Su Xiu was here, he might not be able to teach Fu Xiaoxiao a lesson properly.

If he did not reprimand her now, he was afraid that she would become unruly in the future.

The future of the Fu family rested on Fu Xiaoxiao. He could not afford to indulge her any longer.

Fu Xiaoxiao stood at the entrance of the residence fearfully.

This was the first time she was afraid to go home.

She took out her phone hurriedly and was about to call her mother when she saw Butler Fu walking out from the inside.

“Third Young Miss, please change your clothes quickly!” Butler Fu smiled and looked at Fu Xiaoxiao, reminding her in a warm voice.

Hearing Butler Fu’s words, Fu Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat. She then steadied herself and glared at him. She chided, “What are you rushing me for? I didn’t say I wasn’t going!”

After saying that, she walked into the villa in her high heels.

A nanny passed by her when Fu Xiaoxiao got inside. She stopped her hastily and asked anxiously, “Where is my mother?”

Butler Fu stepped forward and reminded her without waiting for the nanny to speak. “Third Young Miss, Old Master forbids you from contacting Madam.”

Fu Xiaoxiao turned and glared at him viciously. Her face was grim.

“Shut up. Am I the master, or are you the master? You’re just a servant. You have no rights to speak here!” Fu Xiaoxiao mocked sarcastically. Seeing that Butler Fu remained silent, her gaze fell on the nanny.

The nanny stole a glance at Butler Fu. Seeing him stand still without moving, she replied tremulously, “Third Young Miss, Madam went out to play mahjong today.”

Fu Xiaoxiao’s face paled, and her legs felt a little weak. If it were not for her strong willpower, she might have just fallen to her knees.

Seriously! Why did mother have to go out to play mahjong today?

“Third Young Miss, please change your clothes quickly. Old Master is still waiting for you in the ancestral hall!” Butler Fu repeated expressionlessly, like a robot without any emotions.

Fu Xiaoxiao’s legs went weak when she heard those words from Butler Fu.. Her legs might have given way if she hadn’t held onto the wall by the side.
