Chapter 124: 065: The Sober Grandma Lu, a Real Ungrateful Wretch!_5

"Alright, Grandma Lu, I’ll get on it right away,"

Fang Youling nodded and then said, "This matter is known only between you and me."

"Rest assured, I will never let a third person know about this."

Butler Zhou naturally understood the severity of the matter. If even a hint of it were leaked, he wouldn’t be able to continue working at the Tang Family.

Moreover,

Butler Zhou’s loyalty wouldn’t allow him to tell anyone else.

Even his own family.

Fang Youling said with a smile, "Old Zhou, I’m at ease with you handling matters."

Butler Zhou then said, "Grandma Lu, I’ll start investigating right now."

"Go ahead."

Butler Zhou turned and left.

Fang Hongyu, carrying a bowl of medicinal cuisine, walked out from Old Master Tang’s bedroom.

From her angle, she could just see Fang Youling speaking with Butler Zhou.

Seeing this, Fang Hongyu narrowed her eyes.

In fact, over all these years, she could feel her aunt and uncle’s wariness towards her. Otherwise, they wouldn’t keep from announcing her as the Tang Family Heir at this age.

But it didn’t matter.

Even if her aunt and uncle couldn’t see her worth, she was clear in her own heart.

She had never done anything to wrong her aunt and uncle.

So,

she was never afraid of whatever Fang Youling wanted to investigate.

"Mom, what are you looking at?" Lv Tang walked over and asked with curiosity.

At these words, Fang Hongyu withdrew her gaze and said with a smile, "Nothing."

Then, Fang Hongyu continued, "Tangtang, your grandma and Grandma Jin are going out for a stroll in the afternoon. Why don’t you go with them? They are both getting on in years, and I’m somewhat worried without someone accompanying them."

Grandma Lu had been in Capital City for so many days but hadn’t had the chance to go out and enjoy herself.

"Okay, Mom."

Fang Youling came in from outside and heard this last part. She said with a smile, "Tangtang has class in the afternoon, doesn’t she? Let her be busy, and Aunt Jin and I can go by ourselves."

Fang Hongyu handed the bowl to a servant nearby, "Aunt, what class is more important than you? Besides, Tangtang is already in university, missing an occasional class won’t matter, as long as she doesn’t fail any."

No matter what, Fang Youling always subconsciously placed her aunt and uncle’s matters first.

Even her own daughter did not receive such treatment.

Fang Youling looked at Fang Hongyu, and recalling Wu Muzhen’s words, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt.

Fang Hongyu had treated her so well, and yet they hesitated to hand over Tang’s to her, preferring to wear themselves out rather than trust Fang Hongyu...

At that moment, Fang Youling suddenly felt quite conscience-stricken.

Fang Youling sighed inwardly and looked at Fang Hongyu, "Hongyu, really, it’s not necessary. I just happened to want to have a good chat with Aunt Jin this afternoon."

Another chat?

Hearing this, Lv Tang frowned subtly.

She really didn’t know what they had so much to talk about!

Wasn’t chatting at home enough?

They insisted on going out to chat.

Since Fang Youling had already spoken, Fang Hongyu couldn’t insist. She followed up with, "Well then, aunt, after you’re done talking and heading back, call Tangtang to come and pick you up."

"Alright," Fang Youling nodded.

After eating,

Fang Hongyu went shopping with Grandma Lu.

Although Grandma Lu was advanced in years and used a walking stick, she was surprisingly agile and seemed even more vibrant than Fang Youling.

She wore a white cheongsam, her hair full of wisdom neatly held with a diamond-studded silver hairpin, lips painted red, and carried herself with erect posture. Passersby turned to look again and again.

White hair can also be splendid; beauty never fades with age.

"That old lady has such a fine demeanor."

"Yes, she must have been a great beauty when she was young."

"..."

Lost in the adulations of being a great beauty, Grandma Lu stood tall with a mild smile on her lips.

Soon enough,

the two of them reached a secluded resting area, and Grandma Lu immediately relaxed, no longer keeping her back straight or her head high, slumped into the chair, and heaved a sigh, "Being a great beauty isn’t easy; I’m exhausted from just now!"

Seeing her like this, Fang Youling couldn’t help but laugh.

She envied Grandma Lu a bit.

After all these years, Grandma Lu still maintained an optimistic outlook.

Presently, Fang Youling sat opposite Grandma Lu and said, "Tangtang’s birthday is coming up. What do you think I should get her?"

Grandma Lu looked up at Fang Youling, "What gifts have you been giving in the past years?"

Fang Youling said, "Last year, I gave her a villa in the Eastern District."

"You’re quite generous, to give a villa just like that," Grandma Lu said with a laugh.

Fang Youling laughed, "After all, she has grown up by my side, and over the years, we’ve owed a lot to that family of three. If it weren’t for them, I don’t know how I could’ve gotten through all those days and nights."

As she spoke, Fang Youling sighed and her eyes filled with regretful shades, "I always feel that I owe them. Hongyu has been devoted and filial towards us for years, as if she were our own daughter, yet we’ve been cautious around her and haven’t involved them in Tang Group matters unto now."

Although the results of Butler Zhou’s investigation hadn’t come out yet, Fang Youling felt sure that Fang Hongyu couldn’t be involved with her biological mother anymore.

Hearing this, Grandma Lu, who had been slouching in her chair, immediately sat up straight, her eyes wide as she looked at Fang Youling, "Who’s been messing with your brain? To even think such absurd thoughts! As her aunt, you’ve done nothing to criticize. She is filial because you raised her! You provided her with the best education and things a common family’s child couldn’t even dream of."

"If you’ve treated Fang Hongyu so well and she not only lacks gratitude but also covets the Tang Group, then she’s the real ingrate!"

Fang Youling doesn’t owe Fang Hongyu anything.

If it weren’t for Fang Youling, could Fang Hongyu live her current luxurious life?
