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

Fu Chaochao stepped forward, her voice tinged with melancholy: "It's necessary. I'll be leaving the country again in about ten days, and most likely I'll never come back."

"No one will be competing with you for your parents' love anymore. You'll be their only daughter. Can't we make peace?"

Fu Hua looked up at her, her eyes cold: "Shake hands and make peace? There's no need. You don't need to do these formalities. I've never cared about you, and I don't want to have any further involvement with the Fu family. Just go your own way."

Fu Chaochao was speechless, her face full of disappointment, and her eyes slightly red.

Fu Hua remained as cold-blooded and ruthless as ever.

Fortunately, she had anticipated all of this.

"Huahua, I mean it, I will come again."

Fu Chaochao didn't press the matter; she lowered her head, turned, and silently left.

This scene was witnessed by Instructor Shi, who was not far away.

A calculating glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately gave Shi Zhong a look.

Shi Zhong immediately understood and quietly followed, stopping Fu Chaochao.

Upon hearing the other party explain their purpose, a triumphant smile flashed across Fu Chaochao's eyes.

.........

After the intermission, the host returned to the stage.

Clearing his throat, he announced, "Next, let's give a warm round of applause to Comrade Fu Hua, who will come to the stage to share her research and development achievements in heart valves and coronary balloons..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Zhong suddenly stood up with a "whoosh."

He interrupted the host directly, saying loudly, "Host, please wait a moment, I have a special situation to report."

Everyone turned around and looked at Shi Zhong.

"That's right."

Shi Zhong explained in detail: "Just now, I happened to run into Comrade Fu Hua's family outside. They came all the way here because they have something on their mind that they want to say to Comrade Fu Hua in front of all the leaders and colleagues. It can be considered a family matter being made public, so everyone is welcome to listen!"

After speaking, he didn't wait for the host's response,

He waved directly towards the door: "Come on, lady, come in!"

Everyone turned to look, and saw Fu Chaochao with her head down, looking timid.

Her delicate and adorable features make people automatically overlook her flamboyant attire.

Fu Chaochao walked into the venue, her face full of grievance and weakness.

Fu Hua roughly guessed what she wanted to do, and she did not stop her.

Now that these things have come into the public eye, they're bound to be known sooner or later.

Why not just say it openly and honestly?

She wanted to see what new tricks she had up her sleeve.

Shi Zhong addressed the audience, saying, "Let me introduce you all. This is Comrade Fu Hua's younger sister, Fu Chaochao."

"I just got back from abroad and have been wanting to apologize to Comrade Fu Hua and mend our family relationships."

"But Comrade Fu Hua has never been able to forgive me. Today, I mustered up a lot of courage to speak my mind here."

Huh? Why do I need to apologize?

Why won't Fu Hua forgive her?

It seems that Fu Hua's family members have never appeared in news reports.

She only mentioned her teachers and friends.

Everyone has family. What is Fu Hua's situation?

These questions and curiosities are common to everyone.

Standing next to the host, Fu Chaochao asked in a sweet, choked voice, "Comrade, may I borrow the microphone?"

Before the host could even think of a response, the microphone was already in Fu Chaochao's hands.

She took the microphone and finished introducing herself.

Her voice was soft and sweet, tinged with tears: "Huahua, I know I was wrong. I was so immature before, always throwing tantrums at you and saying bad things about you."

"My parents also made mistakes, but we are still a family."

"I'm about to go abroad and may never come back. I just wanted to apologize to you before I left, and ask for your forgiveness. Please come home with us for a meal, just a meal. I don't want to leave with regrets..."

She spoke while wiping away tears, her body trembling slightly.

It really resembles a dodder flower, looking delicate and pitiful.

He appeared to be genuinely remorseful and longing for family affection.

Seeing this, the crowd below the stage began to murmur again.

Only then did everyone realize that Fu Hua was actually a child who had been switched at birth.

He grew up in the countryside and was only brought back to Beijing when he was a teenager.

She's really amazing. What kind of conditions are there for studying in the countryside?

To achieve such success in just a few years.

However, this must be inseparable from the support of the family.

Otherwise, she probably wouldn't be able to stand firm in Beijing on her own.

He eats his family's food, relies on his family, yet he cuts off all contact with them?

That's a real ingrate; he's gotten too big for his britches.

The crowd looked at Fu Hua with even more skepticism.

"They're sisters after all. The younger sister is being so humble. It's just a meal. Is it really necessary to be so heartless?"

"Yes, they are still our biological parents, after all. There's no such thing as holding a grudge overnight."

"He seems like a very capable person, so how can he be so heartless towards his family?"

Director Sun and Shen Jingshan frowned, remaining silent and watching quietly, waiting for Fu Hua to speak.

Fu Hua stood there, looking at Fu Chaochao on the stage, who was putting on an act, her eyes filled with disdain.

I thought that if she went abroad, her brain would have improved a bit.

As a result, besides feigning weakness, he knew no other tricks.

If villains don't learn, they'll only ever become nobody.

Fu Hua remained completely unmoved, her expression unchanged from beginning to end.

When Shi and Shi Zhong saw her reaction, they felt a little uneasy.

After Fu Chaochao finished crying, Fu Hua slowly spoke.

"You keep saying we're family, so I'd like to ask, what does 'family' mean?"

Fu Chaochao's lips moved.

Before she could speak, Fu Hua continued, "I believe that family should lend a helping hand when I'm suffering, not stand idly by."

They genuinely care about me and want what's best for me, instead of using me as a tool to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy or to seek personal gain.

I grew up in the countryside and never experienced the warmth of family. When I found my biological parents by scavenging coal trucks, they all rejected me.

"When I did well on the exam, my family all stood up to question me, but my friends chose to believe me without hesitation."

I understand all of this, after all, they feel that you are their only daughter from childhood to adulthood.

"Because I can bring benefits to the Fu family, they want to use my medical skills and my reputation to help the Fu family maintain its image and seek profits."

"I will not forgive. I have no reason to compromise myself and make do with a family relationship that has never been warm and has only been full of calculation."

"I respect filial piety, but I will not force myself to accept those who have hurt me just because others talk about 'filial piety'."

I will not forget the grievances I have suffered just to put your minds at ease.

"I have a clear conscience in what I do. I do my best to treat patients, and I have never wronged anyone in my family. I just don't want to be bound by unnecessary obligations anymore. Is it wrong to live my own life?"

These words were clear and practical, without a single complaint, yet every sentence made sense.

The murmurs from the audience fell silent instantly, and many nodded in agreement.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Fu Hua carried a hint of understanding.

Put yourself in their shoes; you were switched at birth as a child and had a tough life.

The person who replaced him enjoyed a life of luxury.

This is unfair.

Fu Hua spoke quickly, recounting the whole story of Fu Chaochao's previous imprisonment.

Only then did everyone realize that the person on stage was a former convict.

Can you trust what a person like that says?

Fu Chaochao wiped away her tears, feigning grievance, but then her eyes flickered, and she remembered to say a few words in her defense.

Director Sun stood up abruptly, took the microphone, and spoke in a serious tone.

"Have some people had enough? You've ruined this serious academic summit."

Shi Zhong and his mentor's eyes flickered, and they shifted uncomfortably in their seats.
