Chi Yunjin suddenly understood why Chi Guihui had said "definitely not going to steal someone" when they were outside the door.
Once the person had been found, what was there left to steal?
After the initial shock, immense joy and nervousness followed.
Chi Yunjin, of course, hoped that her daughter would have wonderful opportunities, otherwise she wouldn’t have humbled herself to ask Chi Ruoxi for help in the first place.
She was the housewife of the Fu Family, no less!
How many wealthy families wanted to send their daughters to her, to foster a good relationship?
And Luo Qianqian was only sixteen this year; since the decline of the Luo Family when she was six, she’d lived with Chi Yunjin. For ten years, her life had been even less than that of an ordinary person, not to mention the horizons, abilities, and social manners of those wealthy young ladies.
What if she didn’t know the rules and offended Mrs. Fu?
Chi Yunjin pursed her lips, her hands subconsciously tweaking the hem of her clothes, hesitating as she spoke to Mrs. Fu, "Mrs. Fu, I’m naturally very happy that you are willing to take Qianqian. But my Qianqian... I won’t hide this from you, she has been living a lower-class life since she was young, completely ignorant of the rules of wealthy families. It’s very likely that she might displease you in future interactions..."
She voiced her concerns.
After all, these were unavoidable truths; previously, from the attitude of the Chi Family towards them, it was clear how people from wealthy families looked down on them.
Although Chi Yunjin hoped for a great future for Luo Qianqian, she didn’t want her to get hurt because of it.
However, after listening to Chi Yunjin, Mrs. Fu laughed. Her slender fingers pointed towards Chi Gui, "You don’t have to worry about that at all. You can ask Miss Chi, just how strict are the rules at the Fu Family?"
Chi Gui leisurely sipped his tea, "Auntie, the Fu Family has many rules, but their tradition is to cover for their own, so the rules have always applied to outsiders only; the demands on family members are just to live comfortably."
Mrs. Fu covered her mouth and laughed.
Chi Yunjin was dumbfounded again.
But seeing such an informal response from Chi Gui, and Mrs. Fu not getting angry at all, it was clear she was easy to get along with.
Chi Yunjin felt relieved, "Then I’m leaving Qianqian in your care."
Mrs. Fu, "Why would it be a bother? My biggest regret in life is not having a sweet and cute daughter. Having Qianqian by my side actually fills that void!"
That statement completely eased Chi Yunjin’s mind.
Then, Luo Qianqian, following the rules, respectfully offered Mrs. Fu a cup of tea for accepting an apprentice.
After Mrs. Fu finished the tea, she inquired about Chi Yunjin and Luo Qianqian’s living arrangements, then said, "It’s too far from the Fu Family where you’re staying; it’s inconvenient for Qianqian. We have an empty house nearby; you should move in. Consider this my welcome gift to my apprentice."
Chi Yunjin and Luo Qianqian were both surprised and grateful, hastily offering thanks.
After chatting a bit more, Chi Yunjin and Luo Qianqian left to go pack their things to move in. Qianqian would then return to the Fu Family to sketch a design for Mrs. Fu, allowing her to gauge her skills.
Mrs. Fu assigned several servants and bodyguards to help them, while Chi Gui stayed at the Fu Family, discussing her new works with Mrs. Fu.
On the way back to her rented room.
Chi Yunjin sat in the Fu Family’s luxury car, feeling extremely emotional. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel✦fire.net
For so many years downtrodden, she had kept refusing to see Chi Gui, because she knew of his compassionate nature and that he would undoubtedly offer help upon seeing her state.
She had always thought that even if Chi Gui managed to do well, it would just mean earning a bit more money... perhaps tens of thousands.
Yet, she hadn’t expected that Chi Gui had already reached the pinnacle in Huaxia!
