Chapter 246: She Is Right Here

The moment he saw the person, Uncle Chen quickly offered his apologies.

"Madam Ji, today's matter was handled improperly by us."

Fu He Song seemed as if he hadn't noticed Uncle Chen's embarrassment.

He even looked up and down at the middle‑aged woman.

"No matter who comes to our Fu Family, they must follow our rules."

Madam Ji kept a cold face, "It's only been a dozen years since we last met."

"The Fu Family actually has such ill‑mannered juniors!?"

Her tone was severe, clearly very displeased with Fu He Song's conduct.

"No matter who you are…"

Fu He Song's words were cut off by Uncle Chen.

"Madam Ji, your scolding is right; today I didn't manage well," Uncle Chen said before Madam Ji without showing any temper.

Fu He Song then sensed a hint of something unusual.

Madam Ji let out a cold snort and slammed the door shut.

She gave Uncle Chen no face at all.

"Today is our Fu Family's home ground; how can we let others ride on our heads!"

Uncle Chen remained deferential.

Only a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

"The Ji Family has an excellent relationship with the old gentleman."

"They also wield great influence in the Imperial Capital; crossing them brings no benefit to the Fu Clan."

As an old‑established family of the Imperial Capital.

The Ji Family's power has not waned since those days, standing toe‑to‑toe with the Fu Clan.

This is why the Fu Clan has never shifted its focus to the Imperial Capital.

If it weren't for Fu Mingcheng's funeral, Fu He Song probably would never have met anyone from the Ji Family in his lifetime.

"Young Master He Song must know that there are people above people, heavens above heavens; never offend the distinguished guests who arrived today."

"The Ji Family's people disdain petty theft and skullduggery."

"Young Master He Song, find whatever you lost on your own."

Uncle Chen said that and left; Fu He Song's face turned a sickly green with anger.

In his eyes, Uncle Chen is nothing.

Just a servant of their Fu Family!

How could he be so audacious before him?

Being treated that way, Fu He Song lost any desire to keep looking for the child, and returned with a cold face.

Fu Zhuo looked anxiously at Fu He Song.

A single glance told him there was certainly no good news.

"What on earth is Uncle Chen's background?"

"Just now that old man beside Grandfather gave me a good scolding!"

Fu He Song is used to acting like a tyrant at home.

Being berated so abruptly left him feeling very displeased.

Fu Zhuo's eyes widened.

"Did you just see someone from the Ji Family?"

Fu He Song let out a displeased snort, "A woman—what's her name, Madam Ji, playing tricks; who knows if she's good."

Fu Zhuo lost his seat for a moment, then, regaining his composure, gave Fu He Song a heavy knock on the head.

"You clever fool, do you know who you offended?"

Ji Suyun, who had sent Fu He Song back to the room, examined the little boy sitting on the sofa.

"Whose child are you? Why are those people outside chasing you?"

Ji Suyun had originally been resting in the room.

She heard a commotion outside, and a child rushed in hurriedly.

Before she could ask, Fu He Song was already shouting outside.

Yao Yao nodded, "I can't say… Auntie, thank you for helping me."

After speaking, Yao Yao tried to leave, but Ji Suyun grabbed her.

Looking at the well‑behaved child before her, Ji Suyun felt like laughing.

"Those people can't find me here; they'll definitely keep looking."

"If you don't want them to discover you, stay obediently with me; when the chance arises, I'll send you out."
