The Fu family is now one of the most prominent families in Huaguo. Remarkably, the Fu family is full of talented individuals, and every child has achieved the highest success in different fields.
Standing under the solemn and magnificent villa, Xia Sanghuan felt a bit nervous. It was the first time she had left Qingshan Slope and come to such a far - away place.
Beside her, Xia Anying was even more so. She stared blankly at the luxurious mansion in front of her, shocked and scared. So Huanhuan's family was this rich? Richer than the wealthy families in TV dramas!
Two rows of servants were waiting to greet them at the gate.
The butler stood at the front, smiling warmly at Xia Sanghuan. At first sight, he saw the shadow of the late mistress in her, and his eyes welled up with tears.
"Welcome home, miss."
Xia Sanghuan nodded stiffly. She wasn't quite used to this kind of occasion.
Fu Zeming introduced her, "This is the butler, Uncle Wang."
"Uncle Wang."
"Hey!"
Hearing her call, Uncle Wang couldn't hold back his tears and quickly turned around to wipe them.
Eighteen years had passed, and the Fu family had finally waited for the reunion.
"Huanhuan, from now on, this will be your home."
Fu Zeming led them inside and asked the butler about the schedules of the others.
"The eldest young master has something urgent to deal with and will be back the day after tomorrow. The second and third young ladies are rushing back from abroad and will arrive tonight. As for the fourth young master... his whereabouts are still unknown."
"Okay."
"Huanhuan, if you need anything, just tell Dad. Dad will arrange it for you personally. Grandpa and Grandma will come back to see you soon."
Before she could answer, Fu Zeming added, "Dad will show you something."
"Uncle Wang, please take Anying to rest first."
"Yes."
Xia Sanghuan followed him up to the third floor. After walking a short distance along the corridor, Fu Zeming stopped in front of a room.
He took out the key and opened the door. Everything inside left Xia Sanghuan stunned.
The walls were pink, and so was the bed. The spacious room was spotless, obviously regularly cleaned.
Fu Zeming wanted to hold her hand and walk in, but was afraid of scaring her, so he retracted his hand and walked into the room first.
"Huanhuan, there's a surprise from Mom for you. Come in quickly."
Xia Sanghuan followed him in. There was a large screen on the left - hand wall of the room, just like in a cinema.
Fu Zeming used the remote control to close the curtains and then turned on the star - ceiling.
"This room has been adjusted step by step as you grew up. Dad's gift for your eighteenth birthday is this movie star - ceiling room."
Xia Sanghuan's heart stirred. It wasn't because of the room's luxury but because she felt the thoughtfulness. Everything in this room had changed as she grew.
A sense of happiness secretly welled up in her heart.
Suddenly, a video popped up on the screen.
"Baby, welcome home."
A very gentle voice came to her ears. Xia Sanghuan was startled. She stared at the beautiful woman on the screen, her heart fluttering.
"I'm so sorry, Mom couldn't accompany you as you grew up. There's something for you from Mom in the drawer on the right. Huanhuan, Mom is so happy to have given birth to you."
Fu Zeming's eyes were moist. He didn't dare to show too much emotion in front of Xia Sanghuan, so he endured it.
He thought his daughter needed some alone time, so he quietly slipped out of the room.
Xia Sanghuan opened the drawer and found it stuffed full of hand - written letters.
She opened a few and read them. They were all ordinary words. Mom would ask her if she was in a good mood and if the weather was nice, simple and ordinary.
Xia Sanghuan's fair fingers repeatedly stroked the handwriting on the envelopes. Her tears dropped on the envelopes. After a while, she walked to the window and held the envelopes high. The warm sun shone on the papers, creating a soft glow.
A rare innocent smile appeared on her face.
"Mom, your Huanhuan is back. The weather is nice today, and Huanhuan misses you so much."
Outside the room, Fu Zeming still couldn't hold back his tears as a father. He cried silently, "Sangsang, our daughter is back. She's finally back."
...
In the evening, Fu Moning, the second daughter of the Fu family, and Fu Youqing, the third daughter, rushed back in a hurry.
"Where's our sister!"
The sisters rushed home looking for Xia Sanghuan. The old butler smiled indulgently, "You two look like you're going to eat the miss up."
Fu Youqing took off her high - heels at the entrance and casually threw them aside. Then she quickly took off her earrings. "When I heard Dad had brought our sister back, I cancelled all my work just to see her as soon as possible! I bet my agent is chasing me with a two - meter long sword right now."
Different from her haste, Fu Moning calmly changed her shoes, her every move exuding elegance.
"Uncle Wang, is our sister getting used to being back?"
Uncle Wang nodded in the direction of the stairs and smiled, "You can ask the miss yourself."
The sisters both turned around and saw a thin little girl standing on the stairs. Her skin was a bit dark, but her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to theirs.
Fu Youqing and Fu Moning walked over at the same time and hugged her.
"Welcome home, sister!"
Xia Sanghuan wasn't used to this kind of enthusiasm. Her body was a bit stiff, and her fingers rubbed nervously. Perhaps due to their blood relationship, she inexplicably felt a natural sense of closeness to these two sisters.
Fu Youqing had two dimples when she smiled. After hugging Xia Sanghuan, she pouted, "No, you're too thin. You need to eat more in the future. Sister will fatten you up so you'll be nice to hug!"
"You are a bit thin," Fu Moning frowned slightly. She took two steps back to look at her and then smiled, "But you have slender legs and a thin waist. You're born to be a model."
Fu Youqing raised her hand to her forehead, "Sis, your occupational disease is acting up again!"
The two sisters of the Fu family had inherited their parents' excellent genes. They had graduated from MIT at the age of eighteen. However, they didn't join the Fu Corporation but pursued their own dreams.
Fu Moning was tough - minded. She fought her way to the top in the modeling industry. In just one year, she had reached the pinnacle of the modeling world with her strength. Then she quickly founded the modeling agency NT. In just two years, NT had become world - famous. Now, NT's strength and influence had spread all over the world. People in the industry called her the "female devil."
Fu Youqing was different. She pursued freedom and didn't want to be restricted. Discovered by a talent scout because of her beautiful face, she had originally just entered the entertainment industry for fun. But unexpectedly, she had entered Hollywood with her first movie and quickly become a global top - tier star two years later. Such talent and opportunity were hard to come by for others in a hundred years.
Even though they were well - known outside, they were very cautious in front of Xia Sanghuan, afraid of scaring their sister.
The two sisters chatted with Xia Sanghuan, one after another, and the atmosphere became lively. Xia Sanghuan smiled faintly, losing the initial coldness.
The Fu family was extremely lively in the evening.
The round table was filled with sumptuous dishes, including almost all the classic dishes from every region.
Xia Sanghuan became the focus of the Fu family. Fu Youqing and Fu Moning vied to pick up food for her, and soon her bowl was piled high.
Fu Zeming noticed Xia Anying being left out and also picked up food for her. "Yingying, don't be so restrained. Help yourself."
Xia Anying nodded timidly, didn't say a word, and just buried her head in eating.
"The, the fourth young master, you're back."
The voice of a servant came from the living room. Hearing this, Fu Moning and Fu Youqing's expressions turned ugly.
"Yo, everyone's eating?"
The person who came slung his coat over his shoulder casually. Looking at the happy family around the table, disdain flashed in his eyes.
Fu Zeming's expression turned cold. He said to the butler, "Uncle Wang, send someone to sober him up."
The butler gave a look, and the other servants immediately stepped forward to take him away. "Fourth young master, you've had too much to drink."
"Get out of my way!"
