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

Fu Hua pushed open the door to her home, and the living room felt oppressively suffocating.

The clock showed it was almost 9 p.m.

Fu Xiao, Su Yurou, Fu Songchuan, and Fu Chaochao were all sitting upright on the sofa.

They've obviously been waiting for a long time.

The air was thick with the tension of an impending storm.

They knew that she didn't come home for dinner every Wednesday.

Therefore, Fu Hua did not notice the unusual atmosphere.

As usual, I bowed slightly at the entrance and began to slowly and deliberately change my shoes, my movements unhurried.

This calm demeanor, as if nothing had happened,

This completely ignited Fu Youchuan's long-suppressed anger.

He suddenly jumped up from the sofa, like an enraged leopard.

He rushed to the entrance hall, pointed at Fu Hua's nose,

He launched into a tirade of angry shouts.

His spittle almost splattered on her face: "You still have the nerve to come back? Do you even know what you've done?"

Cheating! You actually dared to cheat at school?! And you even got that lousy first place?! You've completely disgraced our family!

The whole school and the entire compound are waiting to see our family make a fool of ourselves. How can you be so shameless?!

His voice was loud and urgent, full of disgust and contempt.

It was as if Fu Hua was some disgusting, filthy thing.

Faced with this sudden and malicious barrage of insults,

Fu Hua didn't pause for a moment while changing her shoes.

She straightened up, raised her eyes, and calmly looked at Fu Youchuan, whose face was contorted with anger.

Her eyes were calm and unfathomable, like the surface of a frozen lake.

There was no anger, no resentment, only an almost cold scrutiny.

That look sent a shiver down Fu Youchuan's spine, even as he was enraged.

Even harsher words stuck in his throat, and his momentum involuntarily weakened by half.

"You Chuan, what are you doing!?"

Fu Songchuan immediately stood up, strode over, and stood in front of Fu Hua.

With a furrowed brow, he said, "The matter isn't clear yet, why are you yelling? Let Huahua explain slowly, what exactly happened?"

Seeing his elder brother defend him, Fu Youchuan became even more furious.

He turned the gun on her: "Brother, all you do is protect her. She did something so shameful, what are you letting her say?!"

She's just feeling guilty! Otherwise, why would she be back so late? She must be hanging out with those shady characters at school, trying to figure out how to cover it up!

His statements became increasingly outrageous, as if he had found a new point of attack.

Her voice became even sharper: "Don't think I don't know! That Chen Zhe, and those hooligans from Class 6, they're all swarming around you, aren't they? Did Chen Zhe confess his feelings to you?"

You're just a country girl, and you've already learned how to attract attention after only a few days here?

"Absolutely shameless! I bet the money you cheated out of was also..."

"Enough!!"

A loud shout rang out like a thunderclap!

Fu Xiao is the head of the family!

He stood up abruptly, his face ashen, his chest heaving violently.

Her hand trembled as she pointed at Fu Youchuan: "You bastard, shut up! What are you saying?! Huahua is your sister, your own sister!"

Su Yurou couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him, her face pale: "You Chuan, you've gone too far! Apologize to your sister right now!"

Fu Youchuan was furious and retorted defiantly, "Apologize? Why should I apologize? Did I say something wrong?"

If she didn't have something to hide, why would she come home so late? Who was she out fooling around with?!

"You...you!"

Fu Xiao was so angry that his vision blurred, and he raised his hand to strike.

"Go ahead and hit me, hit me all you want, just kill me already."

Fu Youchuan was not afraid at all; instead, he leaned forward and asked to be beaten.

Fu Xiao stopped instead, looking at the siblings with a disappointed expression.

At that moment, Fu Hua gently pushed aside her eldest brother who was blocking her way and took half a step forward.

His gaze remained calm as he looked at Fu Youchuan, his voice clear and cold, like ice beads hitting the ground:

"You keep accusing me of cheating, where's the evidence?"

"That's what everyone at the school says, what other evidence do we need?"

Fu Hua sneered: "Can you arbitrarily convict me and slander my character based solely on your baseless guesses and those rumors outside?"

You say I associate with shady people? Did you see it with your own eyes? What Chen Zhe does is his business, what does it have to do with me?

"By pinning these unfounded accusations on me, what does it prove other than your impulsiveness and ignorance?"

Her words were clear and logical, each one piercing to the heart, leaving Fu Youchuan speechless, his face flushed red, his mouth agape but unable to find a rebuttal.

"besides,"

Before he could react, Fu Hua continued calmly, "Tonight I walked home from school with Zhang Wen, the classmate I rescued at Xiangshan Lake last time."

Later, she met Editor Su from the Municipal People's Publishing House, who helped her translate some urgent documents.

There are witnesses to all of this. Shouldn't you find out the facts before you accuse others?

Fu Youchuan was speechless after being rebuked, especially when he heard "editor of the Municipal People's Publishing House", he was stunned.

Seeing that his youngest son was so useless and uttered such foul language, Fu Xiao...

Disappointment and anger reached their peak, and he shouted, "Get out! Go back to your room and face the wall to reflect on your actions! You are not to come out without my permission!"

Fu Youchuan was filled with shame and indignation. Looking at his parents' disappointed and angry faces, and then at his older brother's disapproving gaze,

Glancing at Fu Hua's icy demeanor, and then seeing Fu Chaochao's hesitant expression beside her,

He felt like everyone was on the opposite side of him.

He stomped his foot and roared, "Fine, get out! This house is either her or me!"

After saying that, he glared at Fu Hua, turned around and rushed out, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.

The living room fell into a deathly silence.

Su Yurou slumped back onto the sofa, rubbing her forehead.

Fu Xiaoyu was still furious, and his face remained grim.

Fu Songchuan looked at Fu Hua with concern.

Fu Hua acted as if nothing had happened, nodding slightly to her parents and older brother: "Dad, Mom, older brother, I'm going upstairs to rest now."

She turned and walked steadily up the stairs, her back ramrod straight.

He left the chaos and disarray of the room behind once again.

In the dead of night, the light in Fu Hua's room was still on.

She sat at her desk, the lamplight casting a soft glow on her serene profile.

In his hand was an open English original mathematics book.

They seemed completely unaffected by the commotion that night.

A soft knock sounded on the door.

"Please come in."

Fu Hua didn't even look up.

The door was pushed open, and Fu Songchuan walked in carrying a cup of hot milk.

He placed the milk on the corner of the table, his gaze sweeping over the difficult book beside her, his expression complex.

"It's so late, are you still reading? Don't overwork yourself."

Fu Songchuan pulled over a chair and sat down, his tone gentle.

Fu Hua knew her older brother had something to say, so she closed the book, took the milk, and

The warmth seeped through the cup to my palm: "Thank you, brother. I can't sleep, I'll read a book to calm my mind."

Fu Songchuan looked at her calm and expressionless face, and remained silent for a moment.

She slowly opened her mouth, her voice exceptionally clear in the quiet night: "Huahua, tonight... don't take what You Chuan said to heart."

He's just that kind of jerk, always talking without thinking. Your parents and I all believe you.

Fu Hua sipped her milk, her thick eyelashes drooping.

His eyes were unreadable: "Yeah, I know. I didn't care."
