Gu Xiaoyue waved her hands, indicating that she was fine.

Xiao Qiu was also very worried about Gu Xiaoyue, so he surrounded her the entire time.

”Xiao Qiu, stay here and watch over Young Mistress. I'll go pour a cup of water.”

Xiao Qiu nodded, Nanny Wu stood up and went to the kitchen.

After Nanny Wu left, Xiao Qiu looked at Gu Xiaoyue with a face full of admiration.

”Young Mistress, you're really awesome. You actually dare to talk to Eldest Grandma in such a manner.”

Gu Xiaoyue laughed. Actually, she was also very afraid in her heart, she was just pretending to be calm.

”Are you really afraid of Eldest Grandma?” Gu Xiaoyue asked.

Who knew that with just that one question, Xiao Qiu's face immediately revealed a terrified expression.

”Of course I'm afraid. Eldest Grandma is truly terrifying.”

Seeing Xiao Qiu's condition, Gu Xiaoyue could not help but feel strange, ”What? Did she hit you? ”

Xiao Qiu shook his head, ”Young Mistress, you might not know this, but before you came, we had a maid that was trying to seduce young master. After the Eldest Grandma found out, that person disappeared the next day.”

These words made Gu Xiaoyue think of the day of their marriage. She seemed to be able to feel the deterrence of the Eldest Grandma at that time.

Xiao Qiu continued, ”Then I heard from the person who worked with me that Eldest Grandma seemed to have chased that person away, and that the entire family had left. When this matter is revealed, no one will dare to get too close to Young Master. ”

He never thought that the Eldest Grandma's methods would be so swift and decisive. If Ling Rufeng did not stop his, she probably would have had the same fate.

”None of us here are afraid of Eldest Grandma, but she dotes on you young master!”

Gu Xiaoyue could see through this. The last time she went to the Ling Family, she could tell it from their conversation.

Xiao Qiu wanted to say something, but Nanny Wu walked over with a cup of water.

”Young mistress, you've waited too long.”

Seeing that the Nanny Wu had arrived, Xiao Qiu could only shut her mouth and not speak.

Gu Xiaoyue accepted it, and politely smiled at her: ”Thank you, Nanny Wu!”

”...”

That night, Ling Rufeng came back to listen to what Nanny Wu had to say.

”Young Mistress looks very scared. Young Master, do you want to go and comfort her for a bit?”

Ling Rufeng took off his suit jacket and placed it on his wrist.

”I'll go up and take a look!”

Gu Xiaoyue was currently reading in her room, and did not notice Ling Rufeng walk in at all.

Seeing her being so serious, Ling Rufeng was also a little curious.

He put his coat on the coatrack, then went over and asked: ”What are you looking at? So serious? ”

Gu Xiaoyue was shocked, the book fell to the ground, and Ling Rufeng picked it up.

On the cover of the book was written, ”Economics!”

Ling Rufeng placed the book on the table, and asked indifferently: ”Did Eldest Grandma come today?”

She knew that she couldn't hide anything from him, so she nodded, ”Yes, yes. Eldest Grandma came by today to look for you and went back later on.”

Ling Rufeng looked at her. She didn't seem to be afraid at all.

”Did he say anything to you?”

Gu Xiaoyue knew that he was trying to trick her, so she directly told her about what they were talking about.

Ling Rufeng was a little surprised, ”Weren't you always afraid of Eldest Grandma?”

The last time she was beaten up, the image of her was deeply imprinted in her mind. Her docility caused people to be unable to help from feeling heartache.

”I don't seem to be afraid anymore. Right now, my days are much better than when I was at the Gu household!” She turned and smiled at him.

”It's better for you to be afraid of her. She doesn't like people who are stronger than her.”
