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

After she finished reading a passage, Lu Xingzhou couldn't help but interrupt her.

Her tone was inquisitive and curious: "Fu Hua, your English pronunciation... is very standard. Have you... had any experience with foreign teachers before? Or do you have relatives abroad?"

After saying that, he realized it was impossible.

Song Chuan said that this child grew up in the countryside.

However, he could only think of these two possibilities.

After all, in this era, to have such a pure English accent is truly remarkable.

Absolutely extremely rare.

Even someone like him who studied abroad doesn't necessarily have very good English pronunciation.

Fu Hua put down her textbook and shook her head.

His eyes were open and honest: "No, Brother Lu. I used to live in the countryside, without any foreign teachers or relatives abroad."

This answer shocked Lu Xingzhou even more.

Without an external environment? Then where does this almost native-like sense of language come from?

He recalled the time he had just been tutoring in math and physics.

Fu Hua's astonishing comprehension—she grasps things instantly and can even apply what she's learned to other situations—

A thought involuntarily popped into my head—

Are there really geniuses in this world who are born with knowledge?

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and tried his best to explain in a calm tone: "Then... it's probably because you, Fu Hua, have a particularly high talent for languages."

This pure pronunciation and intonation is something many people struggle to achieve even after years of deliberate imitation, yet you've mastered it without a teacher—truly…very rare.

He attributed this to talent, because that was the only reasonable explanation.

Looking at the girl's serene and beautiful face, Lu Xingzhou couldn't help but secretly marvel.

Fu Songchuan's younger sister is no ordinary person.

He's a true genius!

In subsequent tutoring sessions, Lu Xingzhou deliberately increased the difficulty level.

It introduces some complex sentence structures and vocabulary, and even includes a bit of slang.

Although Fu Hua's vocabulary seems to require accumulation,

But Lu Xingzhou was once again amazed by his understanding of language structure and his innate sense of language.

She was like a sponge that was extremely thirsty, absorbing and understanding all knowledge at an astonishing speed.

Even after the counseling session ended, Lu Xingzhou was still deeply shaken.

Fu Songchuan happened to be passing by and was about to see him out.

The two walked to the courtyard gate, the cool night breeze brushing their faces.

Fu Songchuan took the initiative to ask about the effectiveness of today's tutoring.

Lu Xingzhou sighed and exclaimed to Song Chuan, "Song Chuan, your sister... she's something else!"

Fu Songchuan asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong? Is Huahua... having trouble with her studies?"

He thought it was because his younger sister's foundation was too weak, which made things difficult for his old classmate.

"She comes from the countryside, so please take extra care of her."

"No, no, quite the opposite!"

Lu Xingzhou's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement, "She's not struggling, she's... having it too easy! She grasps math and physics instantly, and her ability to apply what she's learned to other situations is stronger than any student I've ever taught!"

What's most amazing is her English; her pronunciation is so pure, it's like that of a native speaker!

I dare say that many university English majors may not have her kind of language sense!

She said she had never had any foreign teachers or relatives abroad, so it must be pure talent!

Songchuan, your sister is a genius, a true academic genius. You don't need to hire a tutor for her at all; all she needs is time and resources!

Fu Songchuan was taken aback by his old classmate's lavish, even somewhat exaggerated, praise.

He then shook his head with a chuckle.

He thought that Lu Xingzhou was gentle and, out of consideration for their friendship, had said some nice things to encourage him and reassure him about his sister.

After all, no matter how smart a child grows up in the countryside is, it's impossible for them to be as exaggerated as Sin Chew said, right?

"Genius"... that's too high a compliment.

He patted Lu Xingzhou on the shoulder, his tone both grateful and nonchalant: "Xingzhou, I know you mean well and want to put my mind at ease. I'm already very happy that Huahua is willing to learn and improve. I'll have to trouble you again in the future."

Lu Xingzhou realized that Fu Songchuan didn't completely believe him, so he didn't say anything more.

However, the amazement and curiosity I felt towards Fu Hua deepened even further.

He trusted his judgment; this girl was destined for greatness.

The next day, after Fu Hua got up, her grandparents had already gone to visit the neighbors.

Fu Youchuan and Fu Chaochao had already eaten breakfast and set off.

My parents and older brother are not here either.

After Aunt Liu served her a hot breakfast, she set off.

A day at school goes by especially fast because of Zhang Wen.

After school, remembering Aunt Liu's instructions that morning to "come back early," she didn't give Zhang Wen extra lessons.

Zhang Wen rode her bicycle to take Fu Hua back to the door.

As Fu Hua approached the Song family's courtyard, she noticed a liveliness that was quite different from usual.

Several cars and jeeps, which were quite rare in those days, were parked outside the gate.

The sounds of laughter and chatter could be heard both inside and outside the courtyard.

She pushed open the half-closed door, and the sight before her made her pause slightly.

The once spacious living room and courtyard were now packed with people.

There were elders dressed in military uniforms, exuding an extraordinary air.

There were well-dressed women exchanging pleasantries.

There were also a few young faces peering out curiously.

The air was filled with the smells of smoke, tea, and the sweet aroma of fruits and pastries.

Su Yurou was chatting with the ladies with a smile on her face.

Upon spotting her, someone immediately waved and said, "Huahua's back? Come over here and meet all the uncles and aunties."

Yes, today is the family reunion banquet.

She is the star of today's banquet.

Fu Hua composed herself and walked steadily past the many curious, scrutinizing, or slightly appraising gazes.

Following her mother's instructions, she greeted the elders with grace and poise.

His voice was clear, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Is this the daughter Fu Xiao just found? She's really beautiful, and her demeanor doesn't seem like she comes from a small town."

"Yes, she looks quite calm, with bright eyes."

The ladies exchanged their views in hushed tones, their scrutiny fading and replaced by a hint of appreciation.

Fu Hua put down her schoolbag and stood at the kitchen doorway, her gaze inadvertently sweeping across the living room near the window.

There were several young people standing there.

One of them was particularly eye-catching.

He was wearing a crisp, grass-green military uniform without epaulets.

His posture was as upright as a pine tree, his buzz cut gave him a sharp and energetic look, and his eyebrows and eyes were piercing.

They possess a youthful vigor and sharpness that has not yet been worn down by the world.

He was talking to Fu Youchuan, a faint smile on his lips, his eyes bright and confident.

Almost at the same moment Fu Hua looked at him,

He seemed to notice the gaze and turned his eyes towards him.

Qin Che's heart stirred slightly.

Is this the Fu family's biological daughter who was just found?

It was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

He had assumed that girls returning from the countryside would be somewhat timid, unsophisticated, or insecure.

But the girl in front of me, dressed in simple clothes, stood there...

Yet it is like a green bamboo after the rain, elegant yet resilient.

Her eyes were calm, like the water of a deep pool, without a trace of evasion or flattery, only a calm and composed demeanor.

Her features were very delicate, especially her eyes.

Her beauty was completely different from the carefully crafted, delicate beauty he had seen in other girls.

It is a more natural and enduring beauty.

That's...quite unique.

The thought crossed Qin Che's mind, but that was all.

He didn't have much feeling about this kind of marriage arranged by his parents' generation.

I came to the banquet simply out of courtesy.

Fu Hua's gaze met his for a moment, then quickly looked away without lingering.

She could feel the scrutiny in that gaze, but she didn't care.
