"What did you say? Xiaoman was taken away by someone else?"
A high-pitched voice came out of the microphone. Fu Jin moved the phone away for the sake of his eardrums, and waited until Mrs. Fu finished yelling before returning to the phone. "It wasn't stolen, it was adopted by Qu Zhengzhi."
"What? Qu Zhengzhi?"
Old Madam Fu was furious when she heard the name. "This Qu family is so ungrateful! If I hadn't introduced him to some clients and connections for his father's sake, he'd be hiding somewhere now. It's fine if he's ungrateful, but I won't say anything about him smearing our family over a naughty child. Now they're trying to steal my child from me. I think they don't want to live like this anymore!"
Fu Jin was helpless. "Now that they have completed all the formalities, there is nothing I can do. I can't just go to their house and snatch them away."
"You also said that if you had grabbed it faster, how could Qu Zhengzhi have gotten there first?"
The more Mrs. Fu spoke, the angrier she became. "Let's not even talk about the adoption. They're in such a rush to bring the child home. I wonder what they're going to do with it."
"It's just some little tricks."
"Indeed, the business world is full of twists and turns. If we weren't planning to build a children's amusement park recently and didn't want to get involved, I wouldn't take the Qu family seriously."
"Yes, yes, you are old now, so don't worry about me. I will come to see you later."
"Hey, who are you talking about?!"
Sure enough, women are very sensitive about their age no matter what age they are.
"I'm talking about myself, I'm old." Fu Jin reacted quickly and took the responsibility on himself.
"Humph, you know you're old and still not doing anything serious. If you'd listened to me and got married earlier, would I still have to adopt someone else's child?"
Seeing that Old Lady Fu was aiming her gunfire at him, Fu Jin hurriedly said, "Grandma, I got a call, so I won't talk for now."
"you..."
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Listening to the busy tone on the other end, Old Lady Fu scolded with a smile, "You little bastard, you always use the same trick. You never try something new."
Looking at the photo of Xiaoman on the phone screen, Mrs. Fu felt sad, "Oh, I can't adopt her, so I can only lick the screen."

Su Man didn't know that she had caused a fight between the grandfather and grandson. At this moment, she was sitting in the living room of the Qu family, and no one paid attention to her.
After Qu Zhengzhi brought her back, he left her in the living room and went upstairs to do something unknown.
No one cared whether she had eaten dinner or whether she was scared in the new environment. She was like a commodity, thrown there as soon as she was bought, waiting to be taken out when she was useful.
This was exactly how Xiaoman's life was at the Qu family. When she was needed to cooperate with the performance, she was pulled out for use. When she was not needed, she was allowed to stay wherever it was cool. Giving her a bowl of rice was a blessing.
Su Man was bored and observed the Qu family idly.
As for the decoration, it is not the best, but it is definitely not bad.
But the taste of the furnishings is obviously not very good. Although there are landscape paintings and porcelain, the style is obviously incompatible with the environment, and it seems that the style is forced.
The funniest thing is that the display cabinet in their living room is filled with nothing but certificates and trophies.
Su Man knew without even looking that these things belonged to Xiao Man's unlucky brother, Qu Zixiong.
Because he is the son of destiny, Qu Zixiong has been different from others since he was a child.
He started learning piano at the age of three and showed great talent. At the age of seven, he had the opportunity to perform on the same stage with famous pianists and won numerous awards.
Not only that, but he also kept up with his studies. Since he started elementary school, he'd always been at the top of his class. Zhang Lili had filled the display cabinet with awards like "Three Good Students," "Excellent Class Leader," and even the little red flowers he'd received in kindergarten.
Above the display cabinet is a quartz clock, ticking in the quiet space.
Unlike the quiet downstairs, the upstairs is very lively.
Zhang Lili, wearing Chanel's latest dress of the season, was adjusting Qu Zixiong's collar while urging Qu Ziqian, "Put on your dress quickly and stop being so conceited."
Qu Ziqian was fiddling with her bangs in front of the mirror when she heard this and complained, "Mom is partial. She helps my brother get dressed but not me."
"Brother is wearing a four-piece suit, which is difficult to wear. Just put on your skirt."
"No, no, I want my mom to wear it."
Facing the coquettish Qu Ziqian, before Zhang Lili could say anything, Qu Zixiong frowned and asked, "Can you compete with me?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Ziqian became even angrier, "We're all children of the Qu family, why can't I compete with you?"
"Alright, alright."
Seeing the two children start to throw tantrums again, Zhang Lili also became a little impatient. "You always compare yourself with others. Why don't you compete with your brother in study? You only know these useless comparisons."
“…”
Just as they were arguing, Qu Zhengzhi arrived. Seeing that they were not ready yet, he frowned and said, "People are coming soon, why aren't you ready yet?"
"I'm coming. You go down first, we'll be ready soon."
"Okay, hurry downstairs."
Qu Zhengzhi walked down while stroking his hair which had been sprayed with two kilograms of hairspray.
-
Downstairs, the secretary and several camera crews had arrived.
"We will first take a family photo in the living room, then go to the kitchen to take a daily photo, and finally go to the piano room to take a video of Xiaoman listening to her brother playing the piano." The secretary read out the promotional list one by one.
