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

"I've already scheduled to move this afternoon."

Fu Hua said, "From now on, I will live near Shichahai to focus on my research and studies. As for these family matters..."

She glanced at Su Yurou. "I won't participate or interfere, but my attitude won't change."

Grandpa Su nodded approvingly: "You have backbone, just like us Su family members."

He turned to Fu Xiao: "In that case, we don't need to eat this meal today."

We'll take Huahua to the Su family's house for a visit, to let her get acquainted with the place. As for your family's affairs, you can handle them yourselves.

Su Yurou wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the stern look in Old Master Su's eyes.

That afternoon, Fu Hua, accompanied by her maternal grandparents,

After quickly packing my luggage, I left the Fu family's house.

Fu Songchuan carried her suitcase to the door and whispered, "Huahua, no matter where you live, you'll always be my sister. If you need anything, just let me know."

Fu Youchuan stood at a distance, remaining silent.

His gaze shifted between his mother and sister before he finally turned and went back to his room.

The Su family's car was waiting outside the door; it was an old-fashioned Hongqi sedan.

Sitting in the car, Grandma Su held Fu Hua's hand.

She said softly, "Child, don't blame us for not coming to see you all these years. Your mother and I...sigh, it's a long story."

But you are our granddaughter, and that's an undeniable fact.

Fu Hua nodded: "I understand."

The Su family's residence is located in Xicheng District and is a well-preserved courtyard house.

The pomegranate tree in the yard was in bloom, making the place exceptionally peaceful.

At the Su family home, Fu Hua met her uncle and aunt Yue Xue, as well as several cousins.

Among them was Su Rong, whom I had met at the math competition.

It turns out she's my cousin!

No wonder he looks somewhat similar to her.

They showed friendly curiosity about her arrival.

No one mentioned the Fu family's troubles.

He simply asked her enthusiastically about her studies and research.

At dinner, Grandpa Su was the first to raise his glass: "Today, our family is reunited. Although your mother, that muddle-headed wretch, is missing, Huahua is back, which is a joyous occasion."

A warm feeling welled up in Fu Hua's heart.

I felt the pure warmth of family again.

There is no comparison, no calculation, only acceptance and care.

Just four days after Fu Hua moved into her new home and gradually adapted to her new life, news came.

Fu Chaochao has been released on bail.

Su Yurou used all her connections and personal savings.

Through a connection made by an old classmate in the judicial system,

Using reasons such as "minor," "first offense," and "obtaining the victim's forgiveness,"

Bail was granted to Fu Chaochao.

Upon learning this, Fu Xiao smashed a cup in his study.

"Do you even know what you're doing?!"

He yelled at Su Yurou,

"Forging a letter of understanding is illegal! You'll get yourself into trouble!"

"I didn't forge it!"

With red eyes, Su Yurou argued, "I just... I just told Judge Wang that Huahua has forgiven Chaochao, but she's still angry and doesn't want to come forward in person..."

"You're deceiving the law!"

Fu Xiao was so angry that he was trembling all over.

"And what will Huahua think if she finds out you're doing this?"

"She's cutting ties with us, why should I care what she thinks?"

Su Yurou blurted it out, and then she was stunned.

Fu Xiao looked at his wife with disappointment: "Yu Rou, you've really gone mad."

That evening, Fu Chaochao returned to the Fu family home.

She had lost weight and her face was pale.

But there was no regret or fear in his eyes as I had imagined.

Instead, there was a cold calm.

"Mom, thank you."

She said to Su Yurou in a soft voice, "I knew you wouldn't abandon me."

Su Yurou hugged her and cried, "Chaochao, please don't make the same mistake again, okay? You're all I have left..."

Fu Songchuan watched this scene coldly, then turned and left home.

He drove to Fu Hua's new residence, hesitated for a long time, and then rang the doorbell.

Fu Hua opened the door and saw her elder brother's hesitant expression, and she understood.

"She's out?"

Fu Songchuan nodded heavily: "Mom used her connections to get her released on bail. Huahua, I'm sorry... I couldn't stop it, I..."

Fu Hua was silent for a moment, then gently shook her head: "Big brother, this is not your fault. I thought of this a long time ago. As long as Fu Chaochao is not sentenced, she will not give up."

"Will you expose them?"

Fu Songchuan asked, "Mom fabricated the illusion that you forgave her."

Fu Hua remained silent.

Fu Songchuan understood.

The brother and sister chatted for a while longer, and then Fu Hua showed him around her new home.

After Fu Songchuan left, Fu Hua stood under the porch outside the courtyard.

I stared at the taillights of my brother's car as it drove away, remaining motionless for a long time.

A cool night breeze brushed against the stray hairs on her forehead.

She glanced back at her room.

No matter how chaotic the outside world is, she now has a place to settle down and make a living.

They don't need to rely on the Su family or the Fu family.

"Student Fu."

A familiar male voice came from behind me.

Fu Hua turned her head and saw Xie Ci standing not far from the courtyard.

He stood tall in his military uniform, carrying a thermos in his hand.

"Why are you standing in the wind?"

He strode over, casually took off his coat, and draped it over her shoulders.

"I just saw Song Chuan's car leave. Was he here?"

Fu Hua nodded and pulled her coat tighter around herself: "Let's go inside and talk."

In the living room, under the dim yellow light,

Fu Hua briefly recounted how Su Yurou forged a letter of understanding to bail out Fu Chaochao.

Her tone was as calm as if she were recounting someone else's story.

But Xie Ci still caught a glimpse of weariness in her eyes.

Are you planning to expose them?

Xie Ci asked, looking intently at her.

Fu Hua remained silent for a moment, then her eyes shifted slightly: "If we don't expose her, Fu Chaochao might really escape punishment."

But if she goes to expose it herself, she might become enemies with the Fu family in the future.

It doesn't matter to the rest of the Fu family, but Aunt Liu and my eldest brother don't want them to be sad.

"Then leave it to me."

The voice of the speaker was steady and powerful.

"Forgery of judicial documents is a serious crime, and it is even more serious when it involves criminal cases involving minors."

I have several comrades in the judicial system; this matter can be resolved through proper procedures.

Fu Hua looked up at him: "Won't this cause you trouble?"

Xie Ci smiled, a smile that conveyed a reassuring certainty: "Trouble? This is about upholding judicial fairness. Besides..."

He paused, then softened his voice, "I can't stand by and watch someone hurt you again and again."

"Alright, let's not talk about those unpleasant things. Look what I brought you!"

Xie Ci brought over a thermos containing osmanthus porridge he had brought from the army canteen.

This is the signature sweet soup of the head chef.

The two sat at the small dining table.

After a bowl of hot soup, the chill in Fu Hua's heart was immediately dispelled.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Xie Ci suddenly remembered something, "Commander Hua asked me to ask you, there's a communications technology seminar in the military region next month..."

We would like to invite you to participate as a special expert. However, considering that you are still a student, we will let you decide for yourself.

Fu Hua's eyes lit up: "Wow, what's the exact time?"
