"Ah?" Xiang Nuan was stunned for a moment, she didn’t recognize Jinxiu, but just from her luxurious attire, she knew she was no ordinary person.
Looking again, she saw Xia Jinjin standing to the side, dressed in a pale blue dress that accentuated her naturally cold demeanor even more.
Xia Jinjin had always been the pride and legend of Huaxia School. Although Xiang Nuan was not lacking in talent compared to Xia Jinjin, her family background doomed her to lack the confidence and arrogance that Xia possessed.
Xiang Nuan became even more nervous, but still nodded politely, "I am... hello..."
"I’m Fu Si’s aunt, Jinxiu. This is his uncle, Fu Chengzhou." Taking Xiang Nuan’s hand, Jinxiu smiled as she introduced everyone around, without even asking for Xiang Nuan’s name, only looking around, "Where are Old Sir Fu and Fu Si?"
Xiang Nuan was somewhat baffled. She was just here to deliver some documents, why was she being introduced to so many people?
However, well-mannered as she was, when asked, she simply pointed upstairs, "The butler said they are busy."
Jinxiu was taken aback.
She even needed the butler to tell her the whereabouts of Fu Si and Old Sir Fu, implying that Fu Si hadn’t even come to greet her?
And he hadn’t come down to see her after her arrival?
That meant this girl... was probably not valued much by Fu Si and Old Sir Fu in their hearts...
Jinxiu’s regard for Xiang Nuan diminished even more, and her tone became much colder, "I see..."
Xia Jinjin, however, had just greeted Xiang Nuan initially and then sat aside, not saying anything else.
Fu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, it wasn’t Professor Chi...
Fu Chengzhou wasn’t aware of these dynamics, and he had no particular bias against this girl, but he felt somewhat smug that Fu Si’s girlfriend was so much less impressive than his son.
For a while, their conversation was disjointed but somehow continued. For more chapters visit n0velfire.net
During this time, a servant served tea and coffee to everyone, not saying much.
After all, Jinxiu had merely asked if Xiang Nuan was a medical student and had casual conversations, leading the servants to think she was just being enthusiastic about someone from Professor Chi’s research institute.
Soon after, Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu also walked in.
Old Sir Fu had his own motives for summoning Mr. and Mrs. Fu, who were far up the hill playing in the mud.
Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu, hearing that their son’s favored girl was coming over for dinner, arrived extremely eager.
As they entered the living room, the first thing they noticed was the radiantly dressed Xia Jinjin.
From the moment Mrs. Fu entered, Jinxiu noticed her.
In her youth, Jinxiu had always harbored one-sided rivalry with Mrs. Fu in secret, but unfortunately, Mrs. Fu’s son was exceptionally outstanding, surpassing Fu Wen in every aspect.
Over the years, Jinxiu didn’t know how many times she had envied Mrs. Fu both openly and secretly.
Today finally offered an opportunity to gain an edge through their sons’ partners. Jinxiu immediately stood up smiling and introduced to Mrs. Fu, "Sister-in-law, brother, you’ve arrived? Please have a seat! This is Xia Jinjin, Wen Wen’s girlfriend."
After the introduction, as if making a comparison, she pointed at Xiang Nuan, "This is the girl Fu Si brought back. She looks very common but cute!"
Reminded by her, Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu then noticed Xiang Nuan.
Seeing Xiang Nuan’s cheap clothes and her nervous, flustered demeanor, both couldn’t help but frown.
Old Sir Fu had not informed them about Chi Gui, so their impressions of the girl Fu Si fancied still revolved around his reputation for brawling.
Fu Si was the authority figure in the Fu family, and his wife was to be the future housewife of the Fu family.
All the fighting aside, it was unacceptable to be so unfit for formal occasions.
Especially when compared to the calm and confident Xia Jinjin, Xiang Nuan looked even more pitiful.
Xiang Nuan, being scrutinized by everyone: ?
