Xia Sanghuan returned to her bedroom and applied medicine to the bump on her forehead in front of the mirror.
Although the bump wasn't very serious, it was still bruised and purple.
The cool touch of the ointment relieved the pain. Xia Sanghuan looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
If it weren't for her adoptive father, Xia Anying would have offended countless people in Yuntan by now.
But burdened with her father's last wish, she could only help Xia Anying within her means.
"Miss Xia, visitors from the Fu family are here," Wang Fu's voice suddenly came from outside the door while Xia Sanghuan was in a daze looking at herself in the mirror.
"Okay, Uncle Wang. I got it!"
After replying, Xia Sanghuan prepared to go downstairs to meet the family.
Presumably, since she had been away from home for too long recently, the family was worried and came to check on her.
But just as Xia Sanghuan stood up, she realized that her forehead was all bruised and purple.
If she went to meet the family like this, would they think that the Leng family hadn't taken good care of her?
But now that the Fu family was waiting downstairs, Xia Sanghuan couldn't just run away in a hurry. She had to bite the bullet and go downstairs.
She just hoped that the family wouldn't react too strongly when they saw the wound on her forehead.
"Huanhuan! You've made your sisters miss you so much!"
As soon as Xia Sanghuan went downstairs, she heard the excited voice of her third elder sister, Fu Youqing.
And the next second, Xia Sanghuan was pulled into Fu Youqing's embrace.
"Come, let third sister take a look. Has our Huanhuan been doing well these days? Have you gained weight?"
After saying that, Fu Youqing pulled Xia Sanghuan out of her embrace and carefully sized her up from head to toe.
Of course, the first thing she saw was the bruise on Xia Sanghuan's now fairer forehead.
"Huanhuan! What happened to your forehead? Did you bump into something?"
Fu Youqing nervously asked Xia Sanghuan, which also attracted the attention of Fu Zeming, Fu Lingshi, and Fu Moning behind her.
For a moment, Xia Sanghuan was surrounded by four people who were all anxiously asking her questions.
"Huanhuan, what's going on? Does it hurt?"
"Did someone bully you? If someone did, just tell the family. Your elder brothers and sisters will stand up for you!"
"My lovely Huanhuan. How come you've become like this after just a few days?"
Hearing the concern from those around her, Xia Sanghuan couldn't help but rub her forehead.
Those who knew would know that she had just bumped her forehead. Those who didn't know might think something serious had happened to her.
"It's okay. Don't worry."
"I just wasn't looking where I was going while walking and accidentally bumped into something."
"It just looks a bit bruised and purple, but it doesn't hurt at all."
"Look, I've already applied the medicine. There definitely won't be any problems. Don't worry."
Xia Sanghuan vowed to assure the family, but the family was so worried that they didn't believe a word she said.
"Huanhuan, the family will always be your strongest backing. If you're bullied, you must tell the family!"
"Is there any bruise or wound on the rest of your body other than the bump on your forehead?"
Seeing Xia Sanghuan surrounded by her father and sisters after the explanation, looking hopeless, Fu Lingshi smiled gently and stepped in to help Xia Sanghuan out of the predicament.
"Dad, this isn't just any place. With Chuanjin here in the Leng family, he definitely won't let Huanhuan be bullied."
"Moreover, Huanhuan is a big girl now. She must know what she's doing."
"Since we've just arrived and are surrounding Huanhuan like this, why don't we go sit on the sofa and chat slowly?"
When he met Xia Sanghuan's grateful gaze, Fu Lingshi winked slightly, signaling Xia Sanghuan to go sit on the sofa and chat slowly.
After they sat down on the sofa, the Fu family realized that they had been too worried. A person like Xia Sanghuan must know what she was doing.
"Hey, Huanhuan. Are you the only one at home now?"
"Where's Chuanjin? And your elder sister? I also heard that the little devil, Wanqing, came back the other day. Aren't they at home?"
Fu Zeming curiously asked Xia Sanghuan. After all, with so many people from the Fu family coming to the Leng family in such a grand manner, shouldn't someone come out to meet them?
"Sorry, Uncle Fu. I was just dealing with some matters in the study."
"When Uncle Wang came to inform me, I was on the phone, so I was delayed for a while."
Before Xia Sanghuan could answer, Leng Chuanjin walked downstairs from the second floor in his home clothes and sat down beside the Fu family.
When he saw the bruise on Xia Sanghuan's forehead, he also frowned slightly, but since the Fu family was present, he didn't say much.
"Wanqing went to the hospital to visit Jingzhan. Xia Anying is doing the dishes in the kitchen now."
Seeing Leng Chuanjin come downstairs, Xia Sanghuan didn't say much either. She just told Fu Zeming about the whereabouts of the other two.
"Doing the dishes?"
"Why is she doing the dishes in the kitchen?"
Hearing Fu Zeming's question, Fu Lingshi, Fu Moning, and Fu Youqing exchanged glances. All three of them clearly understood Xia Anying.
"Elder sister accidentally broke a bowl worth six figures. After discussing with my second elder brother, we decided to let elder sister learn her lesson, so we arranged for her to do the dishes in the kitchen."
Xia Sanghuan briefly explained what had happened.
Although Fu Zeming was still a bit curious, he didn't continue to ask.
Even if the decisions made by Leng Chuanjin and Huanhuan were wrong, he would whole - heartedly support them.
In the kitchen, Xia Anying heard the happy conversation in the living room. Her movements with the dishes gradually became louder, as if she was venting her dissatisfaction.
Their family had raised Xia Sanghuan for eighteen years, but they didn't expect to raise such an ungrateful person in the end.
"I really don't know what Dad was thinking. He was actually willing to waste his efforts raising Xia Sanghuan."
"Now Xia Sanghuan has her family by her side. She has wealth and honor, and she even bullies me."
"The world is really unfair!"
Xia Anying kept muttering to herself, imagining the bowl in her hand as Xia Sanghuan and constantly abusing it.
But the Fu family and Xia Sanghuan in the living room didn't pay attention to Xia Anying's emotional changes. They just sat around and continued chatting.
"How have you been doing in the Leng family these days? Are you still getting used to it?"
"As soon as grandparents leave, we'll go home right away!"
"If you're lacking anything here, just call your sisters directly, or you can call elder brother too."
"Right. Don't ever let yourself be wronged!"
The four of them were chatting one after another. The overwhelming love from the family made Xia Sanghuan a bit overwhelmed.
But Xia Sanghuan still extracted the question she most wanted to ask from their concern.
"How's third brother recently?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the four members of the Fu family all suddenly turned solemn.
