The fake heiress loves to act? The max-level boss isn't interested in playing along.

After dinner, Grandpa Fu and his son Fu Xiao played chess in the living room.

Fu Chaochao pulled the old lady into the bedroom, closed the door, and they whispered something to each other.

Fu Youchuan and Su Yurou sat on the sofa watching TV.

Fu Hua went back to her room alone to do her homework.

There was a knock at the door, and Fu Songchuan led a young man into the house.

After exchanging greetings downstairs, Fu Songchuan led his men up to the second floor.

Knock, knock, knock, the door opened.

Fu Hua stopped writing, got up, and went to open the door.

"Huahua, come here, let me introduce you."

Fu Songchuan entered the room with a smile, "This is Lu Xingzhou, my brother's friend, the tutor I mentioned this morning. You can call him Teacher Lu from now on."

He then said to Lu Xingzhou, "Xingzhou, this is my sister, Fu Hua. I've already told you about her situation. Please take good care of her."

Fu Hua looked up and saw a young man standing next to her elder brother. He was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, tall and slender.

She was wearing a clean white shirt with a gray knitted cardigan over it.

A pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, and the eyes behind the lenses were clear and gentle.

He exudes a strong scholarly air and is a clean-cut, refined, and handsome man.

She bowed slightly politely: "Hello, Teacher Lu, I'm Fu Hua. Thank you for your help in the future."

Lu Xingzhou looked at the girl in front of him, feeling slightly surprised.

He received a request from his old classmate Fu Songchuan.

I thought I was going to teach someone who had just been brought back from the countryside and might need to start from scratch.

A girl who may be a little shy.

But the girl in front of me, though simply dressed, possessed a calm and serene demeanor.

His eyes were bright and open, and his demeanor was poised and graceful, without the slightest hint of awkwardness.

Moreover, the books and notes spread out on her table appeared to have neat and legible handwriting, and were clearly organized.

He doesn't seem to be struggling with studying at all.

It was quite different from what I had imagined.

Lu Xingzhou adjusted his glasses and replied with a smile, "Student Fu, you don't need to be so polite. Your older brother and I are friends. You can just call me Brother Xingzhou. We can learn from each other."

After the two greeted each other, Fu Songchuan said to Fu Hua, "You two chat first, get to know each other, and see what the main problems are in your studies."

Singapore University's teaching level is more than sufficient for teaching high school courses; feel free to ask him anything you don't understand.

Despite saying that, he was still somewhat uneasy at their first meeting.

He then sat down on the chair next to him.

He appeared to be casually flipping through the newspaper, but was actually paying close attention to the interaction between the two.

Fu Hua and Lu Xingzhou sat down at the desk.

Lu Xingzhou briefly inquired about her previous studies and current course progress.

Fu Hua answered each question clearly and logically.

When she occasionally asks a question about a physical concept or English grammar...

The questions she asked were often to the point, showing that she was not without a foundation.

Rather, it lacks a systematic approach and a deeper understanding.

Lu Xingzhou was extremely surprised.

The girl's comprehension and thinking abilities far exceeded his expectations.

She listened intently as he began his explanation, and her occasional questions were quite insightful.

The two quickly became engrossed in discussing knowledge.

One teacher was dedicated to teaching, and the other was diligent in learning; the atmosphere was harmonious and highly efficient.

Fu Songchuan observed from the side for a while.

Lu Xingzhou explained patiently and meticulously, and Fu Hua listened attentively.

The two communicated smoothly and didn't need him to "supervise" them at all, which put his mind at ease.

He smiled with satisfaction and gently put down the newspaper.

He got up and quietly left the room, gently closing the door behind him.

He had just stepped into the living room when he heard his grandmother's slightly displeased voice coming from the sofa: "...Why hire a tutor? And a boy at that! For a girl, it's enough to just get by in her studies; finding a good family to marry into is what really matters."

"If a man and a woman are alone in a room together, and something unpleasant gets out, where will the Fu family put their face?"

It turned out that Grandma had found out about hiring a tutor and was expressing her opposition.

Fu Songchuan frowned; his grandmother's favoritism was rather obvious.

Chaochao had hired a tutor before, but she never said anything about it.

She never said anything about getting married.

Before he could speak, his grandfather, who had been sitting silently reading the newspaper on the single sofa, put it down.

His voice was calm and steady as he spoke: "Old woman, you're wrong about that."

He glanced at Fu Xiao and continued, "Times have changed. Girls should also study and understand right from wrong."

Fu Hua seems like a calm and steady girl with a clear mind.

Besides, this was someone Song Chuan found, so he must know them well and be of good character.

"Our Fu family's daughters should learn more so that they can hold their heads high no matter what they do in the future. Must we live like in the old society, where a woman's virtue lay in her lack of talent?"

Fu Xiao immediately echoed his father: "Dad, you're right. Mom, you're overthinking it. Xingzhou is Songchuan's high school classmate, a graduate of a prestigious university, and now works at the wireless communications bureau. He's from a respectable family and knows his place."

He only agreed to help tutor because of Song Chuan. Besides, we're all at home, what could possibly happen? It's always a good thing for the child to learn more.

After Grandpa Fu and his son said that, Grandma...

Her grandfather's words, "The Fu family's daughter has a straight back," particularly touched her.

Although she preferred Fu Chaochao, who had grown up by her side since childhood,

But deep down, I still hope the Fu family will be well.

She glanced at her eldest grandson, then thought about what the old man had said.

Although I still feel that girls don't need to go through so much trouble,

But in the end, he didn't object anymore, only muttering, "...Anyway, if you two think it's okay, then it's okay. I'm just worrying for nothing."

That means I've been convinced.

This minor incident in the living room did not affect the two people who were focused on studying in the room.

Under the lamplight, Fu Hua and Lu Xingzhou sat facing each other.

One spoke eloquently, the other listened attentively; a stream of knowledge flowed quietly between them.

For this somewhat unusual night,

It adds a touch of calm yet positive color.

The table lamp cast a warm glow.

After tutoring physics and math, Lu Xingzhou then opened his English textbook.

I plan to start with the most basic grammar and vocabulary.

To establish a system framework for Fu Hua.

"Let's start by going through the tenses, the simple present tense..."

Lu Xingzhou explained in a clear and soothing tone, occasionally giving examples.

Fu Hua listened quietly, occasionally nodding to show her understanding.

When Lu Xingzhou asked her to try reading a passage from the textbook, Fu Hua did not refuse.

I picked up the textbook and began to read it softly.

Her voice wasn't loud, but it flowed like a clear spring, and the pronunciation of each word was exceptionally pure.

The intonation, linking, and weak forms are all handled perfectly, resulting in a natural and fluent delivery that is almost like a native speaker.

It completely lacks the "Chinese accent" that is common among most English learners of this era.

Lu Xingzhou paused, his hand adjusting his glasses.

The eyes behind the lenses were filled with unbelievable surprise.

That accent...it's so authentic!

It's as if they were raised in an English-speaking environment from a young age!
