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

"Comrade, this is a serious meeting, please watch your words."

Yin Xian glanced at Cheng Jin with disdain.

Cheng Jin suppressed her anger and slowly recounted: "Last year, when Comrade Xie Ci was hospitalized, Fu Hua took care of him day and night, without taking off her clothes."

We personally took care of everything, from bringing him water and medicine to bathing and turning him over, staying by his side until he was transferred to a regular ward. During that time, our lab could only communicate by phone about any problems we had.

The nurses and doctors at the hospital all saw this; anyone can testify to it. What gives you the right to make baseless accusations here!

Yin Xian's lips curled into a disdainful smile, and he immediately retorted.

His tone was sarcastic: "Take care of someone? Anyone can do superficial things. It's all just for show."

You're all in this together, can I trust what you say?

Yin Xian stared intently at Fu Hua on the stage, saying each word clearly: "In scientific research, just like in life, we value being down-to-earth and sincere."

"Fu Hua, do you dare say that your feelings for Comrade Xie Ci were genuine? Do you dare say that you didn't leave him because you despised him for becoming disabled?"

Fu Hua's eyes were deep and her gaze sharp: "Yin Xian, Xie Ci is disabled, not crippled. He insulted an active-duty military officer. How tactful you are."

Yin Xian never expected that Fu Hua would seize on this opportunity to criticize him, and faced with the gazes of the military leaders on the stage,

Yin Xian immediately apologized: "I misspoke, but don't change the subject. Right now, you're the one being selfish."

All eyes were on Fu Hua, and the whispers grew louder.

Professor Shi sat on the stage, a smug look in his eyes, waiting for Fu Hua to be speechless and disgraced.

Fu Hua clenched her fists, about to speak, when a commotion suddenly came from the entrance of the venue.

Everyone turned to look as Zhou Yun slowly walked in, pushing his wheelchair.

The person sitting in the wheelchair was Xie Ci, dressed in military uniform, his rank clearly visible.

His legs were covered with a blanket, and even while sitting in a wheelchair, his back remained straight and upright, his expression resolute.

He exuded a tough aura unique to soldiers, with sharp and cold eyes.

Even with his disability, his dignity remained undiminished, commanding respect in the slightest.

Zhou Yun pushed him in, her eyes filled with heartache and reluctance when she looked at Fu Hua.

Upon seeing this, the military medical officer present immediately stood up.

Holding the microphone, he solemnly introduced Xie Ci to the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Comrade Xie Ci. While performing a mission for the military, he was unfortunately wounded and disabled in order to protect national secrets and cover his comrades. He was awarded a second-class merit and is a hero of our army, a soldier worthy of everyone's respect!"

The entire room fell silent instantly, and all eyes were fixed on Xie Ci, filled with respect.

Zhou Yun handed the microphone to Xie Ci.

He accepted the gift with a slight tactile pressure, his voice steady and powerful.

"Comrade Fu and I did date, but we have broken up."

"My affairs have nothing to do with her, and she didn't abandon me. When I was injured and disabled, I was the one who initiated the breakup and pushed her away."

"During my hospitalization, she took meticulous care of me and did a lot of work, which I will always remember."

"She is kind-hearted, has superb medical skills, and is devoted to scientific research. She only wants to cure diseases and save lives. She is definitely an outstanding scientific researcher."

"Please don't question her character based on just one side of the story, and don't use my situation to slander her. She deserves everyone's recognition and respect."

After he finished speaking, the entire room was silent for a few seconds, then thunderous applause erupted.

All the previous discussions and doubts have disappeared.

The gazes of everyone looking at Fu Hua were filled with guilt and admiration.

After saying his thanks, he handed the microphone back to Zhou Yun.

He lowered his voice and said, "Mom, let's go."

Without pausing for a moment, he didn't even glance at Fu Hua once.

Zhou Yun pushed the wheelchair and turned to leave. As he passed Fu Hua, he stopped, looked at her deeply, and his eyes were full of heartache.

Then, he nodded gently at her, his eyes encouraging.

He quickly pushed aside his thank-you speech and left the venue.

Fu Hua stood there, watching Xie Ci's retreating figure, her heart feeling as if it were being gripped tightly by a large hand, the pain almost suffocating her.

My nose stung, my breathing became labored, and my eyes instantly reddened. I struggled to hold back my tears.

He's so heartless.

What brings you here today?

As soon as Xie Ci left, the entire atmosphere shifted, and everyone sided with Fu Hua.

Even though they've gone through all that, I still had to go to the meeting in person to explain the situation.

This is enough to show that Comrade Fu is not the kind of selfish and cold-hearted person.

Professor Shi's expression was serious, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, and his lips were tightly pursed.

His eyes were sinister, fixed on Fu Hua, filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Shi Zhong sat below the stage, his fists clenched, glaring fiercely at Yin Xian, blaming him for his incompetence.

Yin Xian looked innocent and shrunk to the side dejectedly.

Shi Zhong was somewhat exasperated, which was evident on his face.

Instructor Shi glanced at him and shook his head secretly.

Soon, the meeting took a break.

The host announced with a smile: "Distinguished leaders and colleagues, after a twenty-minute break, we will move on to the research findings sharing session."

"We have invited Ms. Fu Hua to share the development process of heart valves and coronary balloons. Please stay tuned!"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone stood up and moved around, and some people came over to greet Fu Hua.

Fu Hua gave a few perfunctory replies and walked with Cheng Jin to the tea room outside the venue, wanting to have some tea to calm down.

Cheng Jin was furious, muttering as she walked, "That Yin Xian is shameless! He's cut from the same cloth as Kang Hua's people. He stole your heart valve and still has the nerve to come here and distort the truth and smear you. He has absolutely no bottom line!"

Fu Hua picked up her teacup, took a sip, and remained calm.

His tone was indifferent: "These people are always like this; they'll use any dirty trick for their own fame and fortune."

Throughout history, the tricks used by petty people to scheme against others have remained largely the same.

"There's no need to get angry with them. Just relax and focus on the results."

The two rested for a while and were just about to head back when...

A sweet, delicate voice suddenly called out from behind.

With a hint of deliberate intimacy: "Huahua!"

Fu Hua turned around and recognized Fu Chaochao at a glance.

Her facial features hadn't changed much; she was wearing a denim outfit rarely seen in this era.

A cropped top paired with high-waisted flared pants and shiny leather shoes.

Her large, wavy hair was permed into a fluffy, curly style and dyed a striking brownish-yellow.

He had a distinctly foreign look, completely different from the people around him.

Cheng Jin glanced at Fu Hua, not recognizing the person in front of her.

Fu Chaochao walked over with a smile.

In a warm tone: "What, haven't seen you for years? Don't you recognize me? I'm Chaochao!"

Because of her, Fu Chaochao served three years in prison.

Now, he can still smile at her with a smile; his skills have improved.

Fu Hua really hates dealing with this kind of trouble.

She frowned slightly, her tone distant: "Did you need something?"

Fu Chaochao's smile remained unchanged, her eyes bright.

His tone was sincere: "Huahua, I was immature before. I always argued and quarreled with you, causing you to suffer a lot of grievances."

"I came here today specifically to apologize to you."

"I'd like to treat you to a meal. If you don't want to go home, we can meet outside; the location is up to you."

"I have no ulterior motive; I just want to apologize to you."

Fu Hua refused outright: "There's no need for that."
