She froze for a moment before finally realizing, this family had completely misunderstood!
Xiang Nuan quickly waved her hands, "No, you’ve got it all wrong..."
However, before she could finish, she was interrupted by Jinxiu, who was eager to compare and contrast.
Jinxiu lowered her voice, half boasting and half mocking, "Sister-in-law, Brother, Dad and Fu Si are still upstairs handling business matters and haven’t come down yet... Sigh, Old Sir Fu’s standards are just so high. Regardless, this is the girl Fu Si likes. No matter how angry he is, he can’t just not meet her..."
Mr. and Mrs. Fu’s expressions turned rather ugly.
Fu Chengzhou furrowed his brow and interrupted her, "Don’t talk nonsense."
Jinxiu smiled sheepishly, lightly tapping her mouth, "Oh dear, look at me, I can’t seem to keep my mouth shut... Sister-in-law, Brother, please don’t mind me... Just now, the butler went up to tell Old Sir Fu that Jinjin had arrived, he should be coming down soon..."
As soon as she finished speaking, sure enough, footsteps came from the staircase.
Jinxiu looked up and indeed saw Old Sir Fu’s figure, immediately breaking into a smile, "See, what did I tell you? As soon as he heard Jinjin was here, he came right down..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she caught sight of Chi Gui, who was assisting Old Sir Fu, and she was instantly stunned, "Professor Chi is here too?"
Not just her, everyone else was equally shocked.
Fu Wen’s face turned green instantly.
He silently wrote a "damn!" in his heart.
Xia Jinjin had already stood up, ready to greet Old Sir Fu with utmost politeness, but as she looked up and saw Chi Gui, her face changed dramatically; her eyes fixed on Chi Gui as if she had seen something unbelievable!
Others might not have known, but right before the competition, she had seen quite a bit of Chi Gui. The rightful source is novęlfire.net
How could Chi Gui be that Professor Chi??
Mr. and Mrs. Fu were already feeling quite upset, and now seeing Chi Gui helping Old Sir Fu with Fu Si trailing behind them, looking every bit the perfect match, they felt even worse.
If only this scene could have been true...
Before they could finish their woeful thoughts, they saw that "Fu Si’s girlfriend", holding a thick stack of documents, rushed to Chi Gui and respectfully said, "Professor Chi, you’ve finally come down! Here are the documents for you to sign."
Jinxiu, Fu Chengzhou, Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu: ??
"Thank you, you’ve worked hard," Chi Gui said as he helped Old Sir Fu sit down on the sofa, took the documents, and walked over to the table, where the butler was already respectfully offering a pen.
Chi Gui thanked him, took the pen, and meticulously reviewed and signed the documents.
Fu Si sat casually on the other side of the sofa, his long legs carelessly crossed, the corners of his eyes lifted as he scanned over the uneasy faces of Jinxiu and the others and asked with a raised eyebrow, "What happened?"
As Chi Gui was signing, the servant came forward and explained the entire situation: "The second Madame seems to have mistaken Miss Xiang for Professor Chi..."
The servant reported very comprehensively, not omitting a single word of Jinxiu’s previous remarks.
As the servant spoke, everyone finally realized.
The person Fu Si had brought home was not Xiang Nuan at all, but Chi Gui, Professor Chi!
When the person changed, Jinxiu’s earlier words came back like slaps to her own face.
Jinxiu’s eyes widened in incredulity, staring at Chi Gui; overshadowed by jealousy, she felt extremely uncomfortable!
In the end... her pride and joy, Xia Jinjin, was nothing but a joke in front of Professor Chi!
Xia Jinjin tightly pressed her lips together, wishing for the first time that she could hide in a crack in the ground.
She was dressed to the nines, while Chi Gui wore only the simplest casual attire.
Yet her demeanor, perfected through careful preparation to exude an air of cool detachment, suddenly seemed affected and contrived in front of Chi Gui.
From the start, she had lost.
There was absolutely no comparison.
In stark contrast to the dismal mood of Jinxiu’s family, once Mr. and Mrs. Fu came to their senses, fireworks of joy exploded in their hearts!
