Ruan Fuxi watched the expressions of the wealthy ladies as they listened to her mother praise her, their faces revealing a mix of incredulity and discomfort. Her mother spoke of how Fuxi was obedient and adorable, always considerate and never a source of worry. Fuxi couldn't help but wonder if her mother had such a thick filter when it came to her perception of her own daughter. How could she see the original owner of this body as someone who stirred up trouble and acted arrogantly while still saying such flattering things?
Curious as she was, Fuxi accepted all the compliments without a hint of embarrassment. It wasn't because she was truly obedient or adorable; it was simply because she had thick skin. Watching the wealthy ladies struggle to voice their thoughts while trying to add a few compliments made her want to laugh.
When Lu Manyun began to praise Ruan Anmu, Fuxi noticed that the expressions on their faces became more genuine. After all, Ruan Anmu had earned her place at a prestigious university through her own hard work, and people generally favored diligent students.
Once Fuxi and the others left, the wealthy ladies couldn't help but feel puzzled. Weren't they supposed to be sending that fake daughter, Ruan Fuxi, packing? Mrs. Lu certainly didn't seem to have that intention; in fact, she treated the fake daughter quite well, as if there were no plans to cast her out.
Moreover, it appeared that Ruan Anmu, the true daughter recently found by the Ruan family, had a decent relationship with Ruan Fuxi, despite their opposing identities. This was quite rare. After all, how could Ruan Anmu, the biological daughter of the Ruan family, be friends—or even sisters—with someone who had enjoyed twenty years of luxury by usurping her identity?
For Ruan Fuxi, the return of Ruan Anmu meant that her lavish lifestyle was about to vanish; everything she possessed was not rightfully hers and she might soon be forced out to live in poverty. Furthermore, Fuxi had a selfish and domineering nature that had likely offended many people. How could she possibly coexist harmoniously with Ruan Anmu?
Thus, these wealthy ladies concluded among themselves that the seemingly harmonious interaction they had just witnessed between the two must have been an act. Perhaps they were secretly plotting against each other in their hearts. They speculated that the reason the Ruan family kept Ruan Fuxi around might simply be due to her looks. After all, it was undeniable that Ruan Fuxi was indeed beautiful.
If it were to be used for a marriage alliance, then the Ruan family's efforts over the past twenty years would not have been in vain. This also explains why the Ruan family has kept Ruan Fuxi around.
However, they did not expect that the Ruan family would hold a grand birthday banquet for the two of them, inviting families from all over the capital. Ruan Fuxi was unaware of the extravagant imaginations of the socialites she encountered while shopping with her mother that day. At this moment, she was holding her younger brother Ruan Xun's hand, dressed in a blue mermaid-style haute couture gown, waiting to make her entrance.
Beside her, her older brother Ruan Huai was supporting Ruan Anmu, who was also wearing haute couture, in a matching style to hers but in red.
Ruan Jili and Lu Manyun stood downstairs, engaged in conversation.
"Welcome everyone to the twentieth birthday banquet I have organized for my two daughters. Recently, there have been some unfounded rumors, and I would like to take this opportunity to clarify that both Xiaomu and Xiaoxi are my daughters from the Ruan family. As their father, I have long prepared birthday gifts for them—each will receive shares in our family business. I only hope that they will live without worries in the future."
The total shares were something he and his wife had worked hard to accumulate together. The reason he chose to announce this today was due to the many rumors circulating about Xiaoxi being driven out of the Ruan family.
Ruan Jili wanted everyone to know that the Ruan family would not expel Xiaoxi; she remained a daughter of the Ruan family. She had a rightful share of the family's wealth!
