Chapter 352
A piece of news quickly spread through Shanghai's high society circles.
The Quan family has gained a little girl.
She was neither a distant relative nor a formally adopted daughter; her identity was shrouded in mystery.
Many people are very curious about this girl.
While the Quan family may have valued this girl, they did not go through the formal adoption procedures, nor did they give her the Quan surname, transfer her to the Quan family, or hold a banquet to publicly introduce her to the entire upper-class circle.
However, if one were to say that the Quan family did not value this girl, the Quan family held a grand family banquet, inviting all relatives, both near and far, to attend.
This was solely to introduce her to every member of the Quan family, and to anyone related to the Quan family by blood, as the eldest daughter of the Quan family.
Such a contradiction left outsiders completely unsure of the Quan family's attitude towards the girl, and people didn't know how to treat her either.
After thinking it over, they decided to pretend that the person didn't exist for the time being, since they probably wouldn't see the girl anyway.
Only a few individuals, eager to curry favor with the Quan family, remained determined to find out more about the girl.
Those who were invited by the Quan family to attend the family banquet had all received advance notice.
The head of the Quan family, his wife, and the heir all doted on the girl, raising her as their own daughter, and even saying that she was the heir's savior.
Now they all understood how to treat the little girl.
Knowing this, the Quan family members who came to the banquet tactfully brought gifts for the little girl, and red envelopes were also a must.
At Haishi Airport, a couple with their 10-year-old son and 7-year-old son were hurrying along.
The woman was alluring and stylish, while the man was dressed casually, yet it was immediately obvious that his entire outfit was custom-made.
And their two sons, the elder of whom is gentle and polite, like a little gentleman.
The little one has an exaggerated appearance, sleepy eyes, and an impatient look on its face.
They were the younger uncle's family, who had come back from abroad to attend the Quan family banquet.
Quan Yinglin is the younger brother of Quan Yingzhuo, the head of the Quan family.
The head of the Quan family has a younger brother and a younger sister. All three siblings have lost their parents. It can be said that the person with the highest status in the Quan family is the patriarch Quan Yingzhuo, followed by his younger brother Quan Yinglin and his younger sister Quan Tao.
Quan Yingzhuo was groomed to be the heir from a young age, and he lived up to expectations, winning people's respect at a young age. When he grew up, he naturally became the head of the Quan family and held the title of the richest man in Shanghai for many years.
Quan Yinglin, on the other hand, was raised in a free-range manner, disliked working, and preferred to have fun. After growing up, he married his high school crush, and the couple had a happy marriage and two sons.
The two receive dividends every year, so they are not short of money and have plenty of time to travel abroad.
They wouldn't have come back if they hadn't received the notification that there was a new member in the family.
As for their sons, the eldest son Quan Jin and the youngest son Quan Jia, they have always studied abroad.
"My brother and sister-in-law are really something. If they like a girl, they should just adopt her as their daughter. Why make things so ambiguous and make people look down on the girl for no reason?"
Besides, our family is lacking a girl, so adopting a daughter would be perfect!
Liang Shiyun complained as she walked, but even in her hurried steps, her elegance remained undiminished.
Quan Yinglin was absolutely smitten with her looks, and it took him several years to finally win her over.
Quan Yinglin smiled helplessly, "Don't make unwarranted comments about my brother's decision. They have their reasons for doing so. However, our Quan family finally has a princess!"
At this point, Quan Yinglin and Liang Shiyun both burst out laughing.
All three siblings in the Quan family had sons; the Quan family desperately needed daughters. Unfortunately, the eldest sister-in-law was in poor health and did not plan to have any more. Liang Shiyun had already reached her limit with two children. As for the youngest sister in the Quan family, she only had one son and did not plan to have any more.
They were never destined to have a daughter, but now they've finally welcomed one.
Regardless of whether the girl was stolen or robbed, Quan Yinglin and his wife were very happy.
At this moment, they did not know that the girl their elder brother and sister-in-law had found was indeed stolen or robbed. However, once they met her, even if they knew she was stolen or robbed, they would not say a word against taking her in.
"You two, you must be good to your sister and take care of her from now on, understand?" Liang Shiyun instructed her sons, one on each side.
She trusted her eldest brother, Quan Jin, and obediently said, "Okay!"
Quan Jin has always been gentle and has the demeanor of an older brother. He always takes care of and tolerates his younger brother.
Quan Jia is the complete opposite; he's a total troublemaker. He even got into a fight with a little girl and led the bullying of her.
It's the kind of feeling where you genuinely hate someone bullying you, not something you do to deliberately attract attention.
Liang Shiyun's main point was to remind Quan Jia that when he saw the other party yawning and acting nonchalantly, Liang Shiyun immediately grabbed the other party's ear.
"Ouch! Ouch! Mom! Stop!" Quan Jia tilted his head and flailed his arms wildly, but Liang Shiyun finally let him go after a while.
He quickly covered his ears and moved away from Liang Shiyun and Quan Yinglin.
"What sister? I haven't even acknowledged her as my sister yet!" Quan Jia said indignantly. "I don't like girls, you guys just cry and tattle. If anyone's going to bully someone, it's them bullying me!"
Quan Jia was full of resentment and complained, but his parents and older brother did not take his words seriously. They just thought he was unruly and making excuses. What girl had ever bullied him?
Only Quan Jia himself knew that he was the one who was bullied in the beginning.
That was when I was in kindergarten, actually just two years ago. There was a spoiled and willful girl in the kindergarten. She was very pretty, like a doll.
All the children in the park liked her, but he didn't approach her; he just preferred to play with boys.
The girls were delicate and fragile, like pretty vases; he didn't want to play with them—they were too much trouble.
As a result, the girl targeted him for this reason and deliberately picked fights with him.
She even made up all sorts of lies about how he bullied her, and all her classmates, teachers, and parents believed her, which led to her being isolated, disliked by her teachers, and scolded by her parents.
The other party made this scene so that he would fawn over her and coax her like other children.
He doesn't want to!
Since he said that she was bullying him, then he would bully her back.
From then on, Quan Jia deliberately bullied the other person, throwing bugs into their backpack, throwing dirt on them, dirtying their toys, pulling their braids, and so on.
He simply refused to do as she wished.
As a result, he began to hate all little girls, always feeling that they were scheming and even more domineering and annoying than he was.
Thinking about it, Quan Jia frowned.
He could already foresee how much pampering this so-called younger sister would receive, and how she would definitely take advantage of this pampering to bully him and force him to do things he didn't like.
No, he absolutely cannot let the other party succeed, nor can he allow himself to be bullied!
Quan Jia's eyes lit up, and a plan came to mind. When they arrived at the Quan family's old house, he would first find his cousin to discuss a strategy. They had to seize the initiative and trample that sister under their feet so that she would never have the slightest thought of bullying them again!
