Chapter 8: The Lower Class
The side building of the old house.
Bai Yao has been arranging flowers in the room.
Hearing the noise outside the villa, she became a little restless. The flower branch in her hand was deformed by her, and she pushed her daughter beside her.
"What on earth are your second aunt and her family thinking? They haven't taken good care of their own idiot yet, and now they've brought home a wild girl. They really treat their home like a zoo, sending all kinds of cats and dogs in!"
Lu Chuwan had just heard about this yesterday. She followed Bai Yao's gaze and glanced downstairs.
Bai Yao couldn't stand Fu Zhi's overly pretty face, and said with a look of displeasure: "She's so young but she looks so coquettish. You can tell she's restless. How can she be a good person from an orphanage? Who knows how many problems she has!"
"Mom!" Lu Chuwan frowned and looked at Bai Yao helplessly.
The girl was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a light pink short skirt, which highlighted her slender waist.
She had a standard oval face, was pretty, and spoke in a light voice, but this voice made Bai Yao extremely dissatisfied.
"Why are you calling me?! As if you said something wrong to me!" Bai Yao threw the bouquet in her hand and said, "Your second aunt already has a niece like you, so why are you so dissatisfied? You have to run out and recognize a random daughter! How much money will the Lu family have to spend in vain to adopt a child?"
The shares of the Lu family company are still in the hands of old lady Lu. Lu Jingqing's sons are not very ambitious, and Lu Laosan is equivalent to marrying into the woman's family and is not under consideration. If the old lady passes away one day, all the money will be left to her two children.
Why should she use her children's money to support Fu Zhi now?
Lu Chuwan didn't care much, but Bai Yao became more and more annoyed: "What are you doing!"
"I'll pack some clothes for Fu Zhi."
"What are you sending me? Which piece of clothing in your closet is cheap? An inferior like Fu Zhi is about to become your equal, why aren't you in a hurry at all?"
Bai Yao has a bad temper and likes to take advantage of others. Even though the brand-name items in her daughter's wardrobe were given by Xu Wei and were paid for by Xu Wei, she still feels sorry for the things.
Lu Chuwan, on the other hand, was extremely generous: "Second Aunt has already ordered clothes for me for the new season, and I don't lack clothes to wear. Besides, these are all out-of-season styles that I don't like. Fu Zhi was just brought from the countryside to the Lu family, and she needs some clothes to liven up the occasion. If she doesn't dress well, isn't she a member of the Lu family who is embarrassed?"
Even so, Bai Yao still felt uncomfortable and was still sulking before going downstairs: "She is a country girl and an orphan. If it weren't for you, she would never be able to wear such nice clothes in her life!"

Downstairs, after meeting Fu Zhi, Old Lady Lu called her second son over to talk to her alone.
After all, he had adopted a daughter from outside, so no matter what his considerations were, Lu Jingqing had already greeted the old lady yesterday.
"I heard that the children who come out of the orphanage are not clean. The Lu family has a lot of valuables. You'd better watch carefully. What if they are all stolen?" Mrs. Lu knew that Fu Zhi was from a small town. Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. She frowned worriedly.
She originally thought that since Chu Wan was already in the family, the second brother's family would dote on their niece and would also interact more with the eldest brother's family for the sake of their niece, so she was quite happy to see it happen.
But now, a famous family like the Lu family has never produced a child with poor academic performance and bad character.
Apart from her beauty, she has nothing.
Lu Jingqing's attitude was very stern: "Mom, Zhizhi is my daughter, she is a good child, don't say such things again! Besides, everything I have originally belongs to her and her two brothers!"
Old Mrs. Lu’s face froze.
It was obvious that her son had accepted Fu Zhi as his adopted daughter.
In the past two years, the second son had become increasingly estranged from her and the first wife of the Lu family. There was no need for them to quarrel over Fu Zhi.
She thought for a moment and slowly said, "Let's eat. Call everyone down and prepare to eat."
