Chapter 707 Fu Juan’s adoptive daughter
Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua met Fu Juan and the younger woman at the entrance. There was a bit of smile on the two women’s faces. As for Fu Juan, she had a straight gaze on them as she said a word of greeting.
As for the young woman beside her, she was all smiles while gazing at Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua. There was no atom of fear on her face which was weird for someone who was stepping foot into the Fu Mansion and seeing some members of the Fu family, that was not normal.
Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua returned Fu Juan’s greeting with the same vibe she gave off, while the servants bringing their luggage inside, paused and had to wait for Fu Hee’s order.
Since there were two pieces of luggage now, and they didn’t know which belonged to Fu Juan, they had to wait for further instructions, so they stood at one side with their heads bowed.
”Juan, welcome. We were expecting only you since you good father that, but it looks like you have company.” Fu Hee said with a smile that was not a smile, and Fu Juan seemed to guess her annoyance after catching a glimpse of her gaze.
A smile slowly appeared on Fu Juan’s face as she first apologized. “I’m sorry for not informing you that I would be coming with someone, but our coming here was rushed, so I left that information out by mistake.”
Fu Her and Fu ChuHua knew that she was lying from her facial expression, but they could not point that out. They could only continue gazing at her quietly.
Not expecting them to respond, Fu Juan turned to the young woman beside her, took her hand lovingly, and introduced them to her.
”This is my daughter, my adoptive daughter, Lanying.”
Immediately she introduced the younger woman beside her as her daughter, Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua were lost. What she was saying to them, didn’t make sense anymore.
Seeing their shocked gazes, Fu Juan smiled and said, “I know you two are shocked, but I have my reasons for keeping this a secret. First of all, we will need to settle in first, get some rest, freshen up and eat first before we can talk about anything.”
”Juan, are you serious, or are you playing tricks on us? When did you adopt a child without telling us?” Fu ChuHua asked.
”I don’t need to notify anybody before doing what I want.” Fu Juan said to her, before turning to Lanying to introduce her to them.
”Lanying, this is the Mistress of the Fu family, Fu Hee. And this is Fu ChuHua, the second daughter-in-law of the Fu family. During dinner, when everyone has gathered, I will introduce them to your properly.” Fu Juan said while pointing at Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua.
Lanying in turn smiled, bowed, and greeted Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua, but there was no response from them.
Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua felt insulted because of Fu Juan’s att.i.tude, and the way she introduced them to her adoptive daughter. The two women were beyond speechless and coupled with the anger they felt in their hearts.
Fu Juan was unmoved by their emotions, and instead, turned to the servants and asked them to take her things to her bedroom, before turning back to ask Fu Hee which room Lanying’s things will be taken to.
The servants dared not move an inch without Fu Hee’s approval, so even after Fu Juan has given a command, no step was taken.
Fu Hee after being disrespected, dropped her last act of relations.h.i.+p with Fu Juan, and said to her plainly, “Juan, you didn’t inform anyone that you would be coming with someone, so no extra room was prepared. For now, you would have to share a room with your adoptive daughter, which would not be a problem, till another room is arranged for her.”
Fu ChuHua felt gladdened in her heart with Fu Hee’s att.i.tude and response. Since their so-called sister-in-law did not give them any respect, she shouldn’t expect to be given one.
Fu Juan smiled and said, “There is no problem with sharing a room with my daughter. But how long will it take to get a room ready for her?”
”I will tell you once it’s ready.” Fu Hee replied and waved to the servants to take their belongings to the bedroom that was prepared for Fu Juan, before walking away.
Fu ChuHua smiled at Fu Juan, before following after Fu Hee who didn’t forget to show how annoyed she was.
With no choice left, Fu Juan took Lanying’s hand and followed after the servants.
Lanying didn’t look like an adoptive daughter, given how old she looked. She was a young woman of FangSu’s age. And the irony here was, why did Fu Juan choose to adopt an adult girl? And how long it’s been since she adopted her.
Lanying had average looks like Jia Li, but Jia Li was still more beautiful than her, after being well taken care of by Fu Hua and the Fu family for 6-7 years now.
”Mum, is the family unhappy that you brought me here?” Lanying asked Fu Juan on their way to their bedroom.
”That wouldn’t be out of the contest, and my father shouldn’t be any different. Once we are done freshening up, we are going to meet my father, so I can introduce him to you formerly.” Fu Juan said.
She wouldn’t be surprised if the entire family members get angry at her for concealing this huge information from them, but she didn’t care, because she felt that she didn’t owe any of them anything.
She didn’t need to notify them before taking a step nor did she need their permission before doing anything. They should be able to take whatever she gives to them.
Fu Hee was already fuming by the time they got to the inner sitting room. “Because she is a daughter of this family, she thinks she can disrespect us and act as she pleases?”
”I have never been more speechless in my life than today. Fu Juan is really something else!” Fu ChuHua admitted.
