Lady Fu Amazes the World Once Again

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The butler told Wen Xiaoya that she would have to attend dinner with Fu Lengye’s grandfather. When she heard this, she became numb. There was no information about the previous head of the Fu Corporation.

His personality was unknown, his preferences were also unknown…

Even Cang Lan and Chen Mo could not find any traces of his movements as he was extremely powerful and mysterious, all they could do was stand outside the Fu Corporation’s location. 

They were asked to meet the old man on their first day back, yet she had not seen Fu Lengye around. This would mean that they did not have time to practice their scripts, what if they created a scene where they had differing answers!

Was the only option to improvise right now?

Fu Lengye had placed so much importance on the old man.. If their performance failed this time, she might get immediately kicked out of the house.

“Feng Gu, I need a perfect outfit to go to the old man’s dinner party. How quickly can you get it done?” Wen Xiaoya subconsciously crossed her arms in front of her chest. This set of sportswear felt somewhat shameful to be in knowing that she was going to meet his grandfather.

“Mrs. Fu, I’ve already prepared a set of ladies’ clothes in your bedroom. I’ve also prepared a car downstairs that is waiting to send you to the Old Master Fu’s residence.” 

Feng Gu had maintained his composure this whole time when he spoke, it was no wonder that he could keep such a large garden in check!

“That’s great. I’ll be down soon!” Wen Xiaoya praised the butler’s thoughtfulness. She quickly returned to her bedroom and changed into a formal blue evening dress before she rushed down to go to Old Master Fu’s residence, Tansi mansion.

Before she left, Wen Xiaoya saw her outfit in the mirror and felt satisfied with her fit. She looked dignified and elegant, and even without makeup, she looked very attractive. It was obvious that she had a ‘good daughter-in-law’ style that the elders preferred.

Her appearance could pass the test, but she did not know what kind of granddaughter-in-law the old man preferred. Were the grandfather to prefer wild and unruly women, she could roll around in the mud and pretend to be like one. 

“Feng Gu, what did the Old Master Fu do after he retired?”

Feng Gu, who sat in the front seat of the car, politely turned his head. He answered her in a very gentlemanly manner, “We don’t know the personal life of the Masters. Mrs. Fu, you don’t have to be too nervous. You’ll know when you greet them.”

Wen Xiaoya became discouraged. What could she expect from this butler who had strong professional ethics? Who gave him the right to reveal such personal information?

The sun was setting in the west, and the orange glow gave the garden around the mansion a golden rim. A capsule trolley with a four-person ride slowly steered itself across the lake, showing the scenery of the garden.

The Tansi mansion was an oriental house with a three-stage design. The gray tiles, white walls, wooden furniture, the scenery, and the hall all complemented each other, yet they were different. The residence faced the south and it was very ingenious.

It was completely different from the European minimalist style that Fu Lengye lived in.

Maybe the Old Master Fu was a serious and traditional person? Before she entered the main hall, Wen Xiaoya secretly sent a message to Fu Lengye.

[Please call me back in five minutes,] texted Xiaoya.

“Mrs. Fu, Old Master Fu has requested for you.” Feng Gu’s gentle voice reminded Wen Xiaoya, who had her eyes glued to her phone about the impending doom. Wen Xiaoya raised her head in acknowledgment, the words ‘Oriental Beauty’ had stayed in the back of her mind. This was because she knew that she was not an elegant person. There must be some way to fake it till you make it!

‘Remember, keep your steps small, smile with your mouth, and keep your eyes sparkling bright! You should not speak more than six words, and be as reserved as gold in a bank, do not overstep or overshare. These are the secret weapons to being a beautiful woman!’ She repeated these words over and over again in her mind. 

“Hello, Old Master Fu…”

Wen Xiaoya held her throat and spoke gently, word for word. In the end, when she looked up, she saw the old man and was reminded of the style the house had. It seemed as though the house and the old man were similar, and yet at the same time, they were drastically different!

The 98-year-old old man had dreadlocks with white hair, a big pair of sunglasses, and had gold teeth.

At first glance, she could have mistaken him as a street rapper!

Wen Xiaoya suddenly had an idea and changed her style on the spot. “Hey yo man~!” She mimicked the way rappers behaved and made a classic hip-hop gesture. 

However, the old man was not moved at all. He asked her with a seemingly expressionless face. “Your name is Wen Xiaoya, right? How long have you known my Lengye?”

The silence in the air became increasingly awkward. Wen Xiaoya was dumbfounded by the other’s inconsistent personality. This old man, who lived in Tansi Mansion, and wore hip-hop clothes, was so direct?

Answering the raised question was similar to asking for a death sentence!

No matter what, would saying anything now expose the lie? She did not know what Fu Lengye had told his grandfather just yet! Saying that it was a long time ago was a lie. Saying that it was only two weeks ago seemed very immature.

Why has he not called her yet?! She was so worried!

‘Forget it. There was a famous saying in the east — it shows great courage for one to admit fault and to show remorse,’ she thought to herself.

She was just going to go for it!

“Old Master Fu, I met Ye Ye at King Nightclub two weeks ago.” Wen Xiaoya purposely pouted when she addressed Fu Lengye with the nickname ‘Ye Ye’. 

However, it was a little too much. Her pout turned into a moan, and it triggered a rush of hormones.

Even Feng Gu, who had always been calm, shivered. Under his sunglasses, the old man’s eyes narrowed as he gently gripped the crutch in his hand.

He thought to himself, it’s so good to be young, so good!
