"What is going on here?!." Grandfather Fu asked angrily as he glanced over at them.
He suddenly appeared with Fu Hua standing beside him, and nobody knew when they came over.
Everywhere suddenly quietened down, and all eyes glanced over to Grandfather Fu's side.
"Father, look, Fu Hee Slapped Jia Li on the face." Fu ChunHua reported as she stared at Fu Hee angrily.
"What did you say, Fu Hee, hit Jia Li?." Grandfather Fu asked in a stern tone as he quickly made his way over.
Suddenly, Fu Meixu exclaimed. "OMG! Jia Li, your face is completely swollen.
Jia Li had tears streaming down her face as she tried to hide the side of her face that was swollen.
Fi Hua frowned as he walked over with Grandfather Fu.
Fu Hee was scared when she saw the Old man and the ugly expression on his face. She didn't know he was still at the dining area, or she wouldn't have been so rash. But it was too late to turn back time.
"Jia Li let me see your face!." Grandfather Fu said to Jia Li. It was not that he didn't believe that Fu Hee slapped her, but he was too concerned about her at the moment and wanted to know the extent she was hurt.
Jia Li slowly removed her hand from her face, and a red palm print could be seen on her swollen face.
Fu YingPei was shocked to see the injury. He knew his mother hit hard, but he didn't know it was hard enough to cause such damage.
Grandfather Fu was furious when he saw the injury on Jia Li's face. He gave out instructions to Meixu and YingPei
"Meixu, take Jia Li to her room. YingPei, call the doctor over."
Right at that moment, Butler Lu came over, and Grandfather Fu gave him an instruction before he left.
"Lu, contact Jia Li's VC and help her take 2 days off from school. With the injury she has, how can she go to school?."
Now that the four of them (Grandfather Fu, Fu Hua, Fu Hee, and Fu ChunHua) were left alone, Grandfather Fu turned to give Fu Hee a furious glance.
"You dared to hit Jia Li right under my nose! You have completely gone against me! You break the rules, and you have forgotten your role in this family! Let me make things clear to you, you no longer have the right to make decisions in this family. Since you're turning into a shrew, take your time recuperating."
Turning to glance at Fu ChunHua, he said to her, "ChunHua, you will yar over Fu Hee's previous position as the Mistress of this house. And don't you get any ideas and continue to take care of Jia Li as you used to."
"Thank you, Father!." Fu ChunHua replied with a smile the moment she got over her shock, as she didn't believe the old man would directly remove Fu Hee from her position as the mistress of the Fu family, and hand over the baton to her.
"What?! Father, you are removing me from my position as the mistress of this family because of a little mistake that I made?!." Fu Hee asked angrily.
Fu Hua frowned as well for he thought the punishment given to his mother was too much, but he didn't voice his thoughts.
He knew his mother went too far, and he will never support her actions. Now, she had enraged the old man.
"You still have the guts to say you only committed a Mall mistake?! You are so heartless! Think of Jia Li as your daughter. If she lost her parents one day and went to some other people's house to stay and she was maltreated like this, could you bear it from heaven?! See how mean you were to her, and by hitting her, you have also hit my face! In this family, you don't have any right to make any important decisions. You can only make decisions for yourself like whether you should go to the beauty spa or not!."
"Father, you are going to such a great extent for an outsider?!." Fu Hee asked angrily.
"You still dare to call Jia Li an outsider? It looks like you haven't learned from your punishment. Let me sound this as the last warning to you. If you ever dare to raise your hands on Jia Li again, I will immediately send you out of this house!."
"What?!." Fu Hee exclaimed in surprise, but this time around, she didn't get a response. Grandfather Fu walked away.
As Fu Hua was trying to follow after him, Fu Hee blocked him.
"Fu Hua, you are not going to say a word of favor for me?." She asked.
"And why should I do that?." Fu Hua asked with creased brows with his hands in his trouser pockets.
"Do you still need to ask, I am your mother!." Fu Hee said anxiously as she grabbed his hand, but he dodged her.
"Because you're my mother, I should support you even when you're wrong?!." Fu Hua said before walking away.
Fu Hee could only fold her fists as she glared towards the side he left.
Grandfather Fu went to see Jia Li in her room. He apologized to her and promised her that such a situation will not happen again.
"I have taken two days off from school on your behalf. Just focus on recuperating, the doctor will be here soon."
Jia Li nodded as she used the handkerchief he handed to her to wipe her tears.
Jia Li had a lot of grievances in her heart, but she didn't know how to vent them.
As Grandfather Fu was still consoling her, Fu Hua walked in.
"Miss Qin, I am sorry for what my mother did to you." Fu Hua said in apology.
Jia Li nodded without saying anything.
Grandfather Fu wanted to ask Fu Hua why he was still addressing Jia Li so formerly, But he refrained from doing that as this was not the right time to scold him.
When the doctor arrived with Butler Lu, Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua left for the study.
In the Study, These two stubborn men with cold faces talked for a while, and the result of their discussion was very simple.
Grandfather Fu put pressure on Fu Hua and asked him to tidy up with whatever he was doing as get married to Jia Li, as he was only giving him 2 weeks.
Fu Hua didn't want to argue with him, as he was running late for work, so he left directly, but it was not like he was going to do as the old man commanded.
Worse comes to worst, he would have to leave the Fu Family.
Just like that, a week passed by.
This Friday, Fu Hua came back from work very late as he had a lot of work to do in the office.
He took a shower and dressed in casual clothes before sitting on the office chair in his bedroom. He picked up his phone and failed his girlfriend's number.
It had been several days since the last spoke.
Fu Hua was expecting that Feng Alix should be back by now, as tee time she had given has long passed, but unexpectedly, she wasn't back in the country, and she has not called to say anything to him.
The time given to him by his grandfather was fast approaching, and because he had confidence that his girlfriend would come back soon, he has been quite relaxed.
But right now, he had every reason to be worried.
After what felt like forever, Feng Alix finally answered his call.
"Hello, Fu Hua, how are you doing? Do you miss me? I missed you so much, but the workload has been so much for me, so I haven't found time to call. How is everything going?."
"It looks like you have been very busy as you haven't bothered to reach out in several days." Fu Hua said in a cold tone.
He wasn't really bothered if Feng Alix reached out or not, his anger was that since she traveled, he had been the one doing most of the phone calls.
Sensing that he was angry with her, Feng Alix tried to make him happy by apologizing.
Fu Hua wasn't willing to listen to her, so he directly asked. "Alix, the time you gave me has long passed, when are you planning to come back?."
"Fu Hua, I forgot to tell you an important matter. I landed a huge job. I get to feature in a Hollywood blockbuster movie. And even though I only have a total of 3 scenes, this exposure is more than good enough for the next level in my career." Feng Alix revealed in an excited tone.
Fu Hua was not in a good mood as he guessed where all of these were leading to, so he asked again, "When will you be back?."
"Ehm... give me 2 months." Feng Alix said slowly, as she knew Fu Hua was not happy. At first, she thought he would be happy and proud of her with the good news, but to her disappointment, he was very angry.
"It's alright, take your time!" Fu Hua said and directly ended the call.
Feng Alix waited for him to shout or scold her, but his reply gave her a little surprise, but she didn't mind it at all.
She might be thinking that she could call and placate him later since it has always worked, but what she didn't know was that the future, had a lot in stock for her.
