At the Fu family Manor.

Fu Qing walked into the manor. Just then, she saw Fu Wanwan attempting to comfort Old Master Fu.

“Grandpa, maybe Qing hasn’t returned because she’s out having fun with her friends. Let’s just send more people to look for her.”

“Fun?!”Old Master Fu glared at Fu Wanwan.

The Fu family’s young daughter not returning home for a night was big news. If word got out, it would greatly affect her reputation. And if more people were sent out to look for her, wouldn’t it just attract more attention?

Just as Old Master Fu was deep in thought, Fu Qing came over and greeted, “Grandpa.”

“Qing, you’re finally back!”

Seeing her, he heaved a sigh of relief. He beckoned her over and lovingly rubbed her hair.

“You had me so worried! Where did you go last night?”

“I ran into some trouble.” Fu Qing lowered her head in shame and apologized softly, “Sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have made Grandpa worry.”

“It’s fine, really. You can go out and have fun if you want to. But next time, you have to tell Grandpa in advance. Okay?”

Old Master Fu’s heart softened for his granddaughter, whom he had finally found again. He couldn’t bear to stay angry at her. As he spoke to Fu Qing, he couldn’t stop smiling.

Watching this, Fu Wanwan could only clench her fingers tightly in her palms. She gritted her teeth and tried to suppress the rising jealousy in her heart.

What a biased old man!

Even though she wasn’t his biological granddaughter, she had been by his side and served him all these years. However, the moment he found Fu Qing, he seemed to have completely forgotten about her!

Fu Wanwan’s expression was stiff as she tried to contain her jealousy. Suddenly, she met Fu Qing’s cold eyes. She was shocked to see this and quickly averted her gaze.

Fu Qing narrowed her eyes slightly at her panicked expression, before her red lips parted slightly.

“What? Aren’t you happy to see me coming back?”

She had caught a glimpse of Fu Wanwan’s jealous expression.

Everyone knew that Fu Wanwan was not a biological child of the Fu family.

Before the late Madam Fu gave birth back then, the servant who took care of her had evil intentions. Her husband was addicted to alcohol and gambling. Because of this, she stole Madam Fu’s jewelry to sell for some money. When Madam Fu found out about it, the woman was instantly fired.

Unexpectedly, the servant had harboured resentment towards Madam Fu in her heart.

While the Fu family was in disarray after Madam Fu’s death during childbirth, the woman took advantage of this situation. She had snuck into the hospital and exchanged Madam Fu’s child, who was Fu Qing, with her own daughter.

Her daughter was none other than Fu Wanwan!

Meanwhile, Fu Qing was sold to a human trafficker. After many twists and turns, she was taken out of S city.

However, the Fu family finally found out the truth recently. After a long and arduous investigation, they finally found Fu Qing.

Since they had been friends for many years and Fu Wanwan was only an infant at the time, she couldn’t be blamed for the swap. As such, Grandfather Fu gave her a company as some sort of severance payment.

The Fu family generously admitted to the public that Fu Wanwan was the adopted granddaughter of the Fu family. At the same time, they announced Fu Qing’s return to the family.

Unfortunately, Fu Wanwan didn’t seem willing to be the adopted granddaughter only.

While Fu Qing was still immersed in her own thoughts, she heard Fu Wanwan speak.

“Qing, I just remember that when you left last night, you were with a man… Is everything okay?”

Fu Qing laughed coldly in her heart.

It seemed that Fu Wanwan couldn’t hold it in any longer. She had stupidly showed her true colors!

No wonder she felt sleepy after dinner last night and immediately wanted to go back to her room to sleep. Now she was pretty sure that Fu Wanwan was the one behind all this.

Old Master Fu looked at Fu Qing and said in a worried tone, “Qing, did you really go out with a man?”

Although he loved his granddaughter, his reputation was of utmost importance to him. Fu Qing was just about to explain before she heard Fu Wanwan exclaim.

“Oh my gosh! Why is there blood on your dress?!”

Blood?

Old Master Fu immediately shifted his gaze to her dress. There was a hint of anxiety in his eyes as he held her hands tightly.

“Tell me the truth. Who did you give yourself to?”

Fu Wanwan smiled smugly in satisfaction. However, the smile slowly faded from her face when she heard a cold voice from outside the door.

“Me..”
