Chapter 55 - Jia Li Meets Old Mr. Fu

Jia Li was treated like the little princess of a wealthy family on her journey to the Fu Family. She was given first-class treatment.

She was served breakfast on the jet. The food was too fancy for her to touch, she didn't know how to use the cutlery ???? and she didn't know how to ask for a spoon, she was embarrassed.

Butler Gu noticed the way she was staring at the food, and then at the cutlery, so he knew she might not be accustomed to using cutlery, so he asked for it to be changed.

"Thank you!." Jia Li said to him with a grateful smile.

Jia Li felt grateful the breakfast that was served wasn't complicated, otherwise, she would be embarrassed at not knowing how to eat it.

This was Jia Li's first time flying, so her interest was picked, as she glanced at the sky through the shielded window. She was nervous as well, so she didn't eat much of the food that was given to her.

"Miss is the food not to your taste?." Butler Gu asked.

"No, I like it. I'm full, thank you!." Jia Li replied.

Two hours later, the Jet landed in a private military location. There, a car was waiting to pick them up.

Jia Li was marveled at the sight and the treatment given to her. She felt like a lost princess about to be reunited with her Royal Family.

Jia Li got into the car and the Butler got in after her.

The car she was sitting in, was quite luxurious. Although she couldn't tell the price, she also didn't want to think about it, because she it was very expensive.

On their way to the Fu mansion, Butler Gu briefed Jia Li about the Fu Family.

"...there is nothing to be afraid of. So Miss, you can relax." Butler Gu said to her with a smile.

Jia Li could only nod nervously as they approached the Big Mansion with Huge black gates.

The gates opened automatically and their car drove in. It was quite some distance from the gate to the building.

When they got very close to the building, Jia Li could see a fountain ?. The sight was indeed beautiful to behold.

"Miss, we are here!." Butler Gu announced with a smile. It was then that Jia Li realized that their car has come to a stop.

Before she could open the car door, the soldier that came with them, opened the car door for her and held the car door open for her.

Jia Li thanked him as she got out of the car. Then her eyes were fixed on the magnificent building in front of her.

She was deeply amazed!

"Miss, this way!." Butler Gu gestured to her to come with him.

"My bag." Jia Li said as she glanced back at the car to see the soldier opening the boot.

"Don't worry, he will bring it in." Butler Gu assured her, and only then did she follow him.

The scenery before her was very beautiful that she couldn't help looking around a little. But no matter how she tried to mask the uncomfortable she felt, the Butler could still feel it.

"Miss, don't be too nervous." Butler Gu said as they stepped into the house.

Two servants came before them and bowed in greeting, then, they helped them to change out of their shoes.

"Miss, please follow me!." Butler Gu said as he led Jia Li deeper into the house.

Jia Li could see how well the house was furnished. It was indeed a house for the wealthy.

Butler Gu led Jia Li directly into the sitting room.

"Miss, please wait here, I will go get Old Mr. Fu." Butler Gu said to her after offering a seat to her.

Jia Li nodded and sat down and glanced at her surroundings. She was more nervous now.

She knew the Old man was rich, but not to this extent. She was shocked by his wealth and power.

She felt burdened because she has been calling the old Man and addressing him as if he was just a second grandfather to her.

When the Old man who was a call in his study saw his Butler, he quickly ended the call.

The old man didn't wait for the Butler to speak as he quickly asked, "Jia Li is here?." There was an evident excitement on his face.

"Yes. Miss Jia Li is downstairs." The Butler announced with a smile.

"What are you waiting for? Quickly bring me there." The Old man ordered as he stood up and followed Butler Gu out.

He was scared of keeping Jia Li waiting. If only he was informed on time that they were close, he would have come out to directly welcome her.

Jia Li was a little easy after waiting for a few seconds. The soldier brought her bag in and kept it beside her before disappearing.

Jia Li was served a bottle of warm water by the servants.

She only said a word of thanks, and left the eater aside, while waiting for the Old man to appear.

Finally, she saw the Old man she hasn't seen in over two months step out from behind Butler Gu.

He had an excited smile on his face as he approached her.

"Jia Li, you are here. I'm happy to see you after a long time." Grandfather Fu said happily as he came to stand in front of her.

"Gran...Grandfather Fu, it's good to see you too." Jia Li said nervously.

"Why are you nervous? Are you suddenly scared of me, after not seeing me for a few weeks?." Grandfather Fu asked with a smile.

"I'm not scared of you." Jia Li lied as she looked away.

"Alright, I understand, sit. Don't be intimated by me or anything at all. I am still the same Old Man you saved his life weeks ago." Grandfather Fu said as he gestures to her seat, while he sat on another sofa close to her.

"Grandfather Fu, how is your health now?." Jia Li asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. My doctor says I'm fine, so there is nothing to be worried about." Grandfather Fu said happily.

He was very gentle with Jia Li, but when his second daughter-in-law asked the same question, he rebuked her and almost accused her of wishing him unwell.
