In the villa, the staff were still sorting out their clothes. They hung them all up and prepared to give them to Xia Chuchu to choose later.

After Ye Jiawen pulled Xia Chuchu in, he said, "Chuchu, look, these are the things I prepared for you. Do you like anything?"

Chu Zhiyuan also said with concern, "Chu Chu, take your pick. As long as you like it, you can keep it. Feel free to pick it boldly."

Xia Chuchu said, "Dad, Mom, I really have clothes to wear, I don't need these, it's not easy for you to make money, so let's ask them to go back!"

Chu Zhiyuan and Ye Jiawen were very pleased to see their daughter was so sensible. Then they looked at Chu Mengxue, whose face was already dark.

Seeing this, Chu Mengxue said disdainfully, "Xia Chuchu, why are you pretending to be a sensible child here? I still remember that you used to envy my brand-name bags and clothes and skirts, and you wanted to buy them yourself, but you just didn't have the money!"

Xia Chuchu opened her big watery eyes, her face red with grievance, "Mengxue, I always treated you as a good friend, so I said some flattering words to you, but you..."

"People treat you as a friend and say nice things to compliment you, but you use these words to mock them. Do you really think everyone envies your brand-name bags? In my opinion, those things are worthless and no different from ordinary ones." Chu Zhan said immediately.

Chu Chu was just being polite to Chu Mengxue, but she didn't expect that she would use it to challenge Chu Chu.

Fortunately, Chuchu is not the kind of vain person.

Chu Mengxue snorted coldly, "Pretend, just pretend as much as you want here. Xia Chuchu, who are you? Don't I know better than them who you are? One day, I will expose your true face."

In front of her, Xia Chuchu was extremely greedy and vain. She also liked to curry favor with rich people and had no personality at all.

Now she is just pretending to be a good person in the Chu family.

"Enough! Mengxue, if you have nothing to do, go back upstairs and play. Don't be so sarcastic here and affect everyone's mood." Chu Zhiyuan finally couldn't help it and said angrily.

Chu Mengxue sneered and said, "Dad, although I am not Madam's daughter, I am also your blood. How can you be so partial to me? How can you treat me like this? You all think she is very sensible and well-behaved, right? I tell you, she is very scheming and you have all been deceived by her!"

"Okay, Mengxue, we will not give you less than what we owe you. Besides, haven't we given you enough during these years that you have been in the Chu family? Think carefully about how I treated you in the past, and how you treated me." Ye Jiawen said lightly.

After having her own daughter, she hated Chu Mengxue even more.

The reason why she kept Chu Mengxue at home was because she was soft-hearted.

After all, she was the daughter she had raised with great effort, and she didn't want her to suffer outside.

Chu Mengxue raised her lips in self-mockery, "People change so quickly. Once they knew I was not their biological daughter, they were all extremely ruthless to me. I have seen through it now. Family affection is fake, only interests are real. Once a person has no value, even dogs will despise him."

After yelling coldly, Chu Mengxue ignored everyone and went straight upstairs.

When the Chu family saw her look, they were all very disappointed.

Chu Mengxue is so selfish and can't tolerate others at all.

Seeing that everyone hated Chu Mengxue, Xia Chuchu felt very proud.

It seems that pretending to be sensible really has many benefits, especially in such a wealthy family.

Then, Ye Jiawen asked Xia Chuchu to pick something.

Xia Chuchu just picked up a few cheap things at random and refused to choose any more.

Seeing this, Ye Jiawen felt very distressed.

She took the initiative to pick out a lot of clothes and dresses for Xia Chuchu, as well as various kinds of jewelry, and asked someone to put them all in Xia Chuchu's room.

She owed her daughter too much, so she had to make it up to her doubly.

On the third floor, Chu Mengxue hid in the room, looking at the luxury goods and jewelry being sent upstairs with a face full of jealousy.

In the evening, Ye Jiawen asked the nanny to prepare a large table of delicious dishes to welcome Xia Chuchu.

Ye Jiawen also asked Liu Ma to call Chu Mengxue down to have dinner together.

After all, she was the child she had raised and she had developed feelings for him, so she couldn't just ignore him.

Chu Mengxue didn't want to go downstairs to eat, but she wanted to see how Xia Chuchu performed, so she went downstairs as well, ready to watch Xia Chuchu's embarrassment.

At the dinner table, after everyone sat down, Ye Jiawen said, "Chu Chu, we have a lot of things to do today, so we didn't have time to invite your parents to dinner. When we are ready, we will invite them to our house for a simple meal. After a while, when your father and I are free, we will hold a large homecoming banquet for you and announce your identity to everyone in public, okay?"

When Xia Chuchu heard this, she lowered her head gently and said, "Thank you, Mom. I can do anything."

Chu Mengxue's heart began to sour again when she heard this, "Mom, you want to hold a homecoming party for Xia Chuchu? Then, won't everyone know that I'm not your biological daughter? If you do this, how can I face people and deal with myself in the future?"

Ye Jiawen said, "What are you worried about? We have never lacked food or clothing for you. You are not my daughter in the first place, so of course I have to introduce Chu Chu's identity to the public. She is my biological daughter, the daughter of the Chu family, so of course the outside world must know about it. Otherwise, who would know who she is?"

Chu Mengxue lowered her eyelids coldly, not knowing what to say for the moment.

It was their duty to introduce Xia Chuchu to the outside world, and she had no way of objecting.

Besides, she couldn't say a word in the Chu family now, so it was useless for her to object.

At this time, Ye Jiawen quickly put all the delicious dishes on the table into Xia Chuchu's bowl.

She said distressedly, "Chu Chu, eat more. You look so thin. Did you have a hard time in the Xia family before?"

Xia Chuchu shook her head sensibly, "No, mom. My...adoptive mom treated me very well and treated me like her own daughter. Although our family was poor, they never treated me badly. It's just that my conditions were not as good as those of other families."

Ye Jiawen sighed, "Although you said so, I also know that your life is not easy. Don't worry, from now on, we will not let you suffer anymore, and you will not live the same life as before."

"Well, thank you, Mom." Xia Chuchu said obediently.

Seeing her like this, Chu Mengxue sneered disdainfully, "Why are you pretending? Do you think you are Xia Fanxing? You are all white lotuses. I'm full. I won't eat anymore. I'll go upstairs first."

As she said this, she slammed the dishes in her hands down on the table, glared at Xia Chuchu fiercely, and then ran upstairs angrily.

Xia Chuchu was so scared that she huddled there, looking helpless and aggrieved.

Ye Jiawen quickly stroked her back and comforted her, "Chu Chu, don't be afraid. With us here, she won't dare to do anything to you."

"I know, Mom. Actually, you can't blame Mengxue. It's all my fault. If I hadn't sent her back last night, what happened later wouldn't have happened. If I hadn't done a paternity test, things wouldn't have turned out like this." Xia Chuchu blamed herself.

Ye Jiawen said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, Chuchu, you don't need to blame yourself. It's because we spoiled her that she became like this."

"Oh! If she were half as sensible as you, we would be satisfied!" Chu Zhiyuan also said.

Xia Chuchu frowned complacently. How could she be sensible?

She learned all these from Xia Fanxing, and she didn't expect them to be so useful.
