A woman about the same age as the commander came over in search of the sound. She was wearing a waist-hugging skirt that had been modified from a military uniform, which showed off her figure.
The expression on her face changed from joy at first to surprise when she saw Lu Zhengxiang, and she shook her head in disbelief.
"Second brother, who did you bring back? Why does he look like a country bumpkin?"
There was even a hint of disdain in her words.
Even though she was dressed appropriately and walked like a lady from a noble family, the tone of her voice probably meant she didn't have much say in this house, and Ruan Suhe didn't take her seriously.
"Sister Yue'e, it's better for us to go inside and talk about whether my eldest brother is here."
The commander was obviously very impatient with this woman. He invited the two of them to walk into the courtyard and signaled the housekeeper to close the door.
Although he greeted her politely and distantly, he did not stop walking at all.
Ruan Suhe and the others came with the commander, so there was naturally no reason for them to stop. However, when she passed by the woman, she bowed politely.
...
...
After closing the gate, the housekeeper rushed over without stopping, walking in front and showing the way.
Walking around the rockery, what catches your eye are two wooden couplets on the left and right. The carpenter's craftsmanship is amazing. The official script is carved tough and powerful, and every stroke and pause is just right.
"Good calligraphy. This font should be imitating the details of the Cao Quan Stele."
Ruan Suhe was attracted by the couplet, and the words of analysis came out of his mouth involuntarily.
"The girl has good taste."
Entering the main hall, an uncle who looked somewhat like the army commander was sitting in the seat of honor. He looked at Ruan Suhe approvingly, his face full of majesty.
"Brother, this is Zhengxiang. I have verified all his information one by one. It is all correct."
"It is indeed the kid from the health station."
The commander took out a thick stack of information from his briefcase and handed it over with both hands.
The uncle who sat at the top of the table looked through it for a long time, then nodded affirmatively, "It should be that boy, for sure. How long have you been married?"
"Why did you marry a country girl? With your wealth, you can find someone better in the future. You should be able to part ways amicably."
These words made Ruan Suhe inexplicably angry. This person was an elder, so why did he speak so harshly?
"She is my wife, I will not divorce her!"
Lu Zhengxiang's expression also changed. He glanced at Ruan Suhe and took her hand with his right hand, expressing his inner determination.
Ruan Suhe felt that this person was really weird. His own son came to recognize him, but instead of reminiscing about the past, the two of them were finding fault with him and saying that he was not a human being in any way.
"You kid, since you have made up your mind to return to your ancestral roots, you must be included in the Fu family tree. Your young wife is originally from the countryside and has no family background. How can she compare with you?"
She didn't know. She just crossed a threshold. Why did the class division start?
"Sir, how can you be so sure that my wife is useless? You can't wait to arrange a blind date for my husband before we even officially recognize each other as ancestors? This is really too ugly."
No matter in her past life or this life, she hated others looking down on her. Why? Then she had to succeed to show others.
"I'm talking to my son. There's no place for a woman like you..."
“Brother!”
The commander saw that the situation was becoming increasingly tense and immediately took the initiative to remind them.
"Let me introduce you. This is Fu Hengye, the head of the Fu family, my eldest brother. I am Fu Liye, the second oldest in the family."
"Lu Zhengxiang, that's not right. You should be called Fu Zhengxiang. You are my eldest brother's long-lost son - Fu Zhengxiang."
"Zhengxiang, Big Brother has never given up looking for you..."
"No need to say so much to him. This brat is nothing like me back then."
The commander was about to explain when he was interrupted by Fu Hengye, who then continued, "Let me tell you, if you want to be included in the Fu family's genealogy and recognize me as your father, you must divorce this woman first. She can't support your future development."
Wow, she didn't expect that looking down on others is still popular these days. It really opens her eyes.
Ruan Suhe had heard a little before that most children of large families with a certain status died of depression. The reason was mostly because the marriage tied two people who did not love each other together, made them exploit each other, and then died of depression.
"Sir, no, I should call you Uncle Fu. How did you determine that I can't support my husband's future development? Do you know how to tell fortunes or match horoscopes?"
The moment Ruan Suhe held her hand, she knew that he would not abandon her and get divorced.
She had more conviction, "Why are you 100% sure that I am the one holding you back?"
Ruan Suhe was not afraid of him at all. She took two steps forward, holding her head high and chest out, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Oh, you are so arrogant, little girl. So, tell me, what can you bring to Zhengxiang? Money? Status? Or a backer?"
Fu Hengye's eyes were full of contempt, and he didn't take her seriously at all.
"Why should we just bring him something? Why not what we work hard for together?"
"As long as the money doesn't come out this year, I will ensure that my family's assets will quadruple, and I can transform my status from a businessman into a politician. Careers all rise based on ability."
Ruan Suhe's two sentences were so powerful that they seemed like they could come true in the next second.
"Oh, what nonsense! You promise? What can you promise? You promise that my son will have no worries about money for the rest of his life?"
"Oh, you are really a country girl, addicted to bragging."
Fu Hengye sneered the whole time, as if he had just heard a joke and didn't take it seriously at all.
"If you don't want to recognize me, I have nothing to say, but what right do you have to slander my wife? I can't afford to marry into your Fu family..."
Lu Zhengxiang couldn't stand seeing anyone belittle Ruan Suhe like this, he couldn't hold back and had already made up his mind to back off.
Seeing that he was about to say something angrily, Ruan Suhe quickly pulled his sleeve, forcing him to swallow the second half of the sentence.
"Mr. Fu, how do you want me to prove it? What results do you want to see? How about we make a bet?"
Ruan Suhe was used to being provoked in her previous life, so she would not get angry out of shame. So, she thought about it and came up with an idea.
"Just you? You still want to bet with me? How arrogant!"
Fu Hengye tightened his grip on the armrest. He really didn't expect that she was so bold that she still wanted to make a bet at this time.
"Why, you don't dare? Or do you want to admit that I am worthy of Zheng Xiang now?"
"Ha! I'll give you half a year. If you can get a seat at the military headquarters and have the headquarters recognize you, then I! My Fu family! Will definitely hold a banquet to introduce your status in my Fu family!"
