CapĂtulo 1285: Chapter 1355: Doesnât Look Alike
Once she left, the living room immediately became lively with chatter. âWhen was she released?â
âGrandfather is really biased.â
âExactlyâŠâ
When Housekeeper Xing led Qin Cuifen in, he saw everything clearly and shook his head helplessly in his heart. He deliberately coughed, and only then did everyone realize he had returned.
âHello, Housekeeper Xing.â
âUncle Xing.â
Everyone changed their expressions instantly and greeted Housekeeper Xing courteously and enthusiastically.
âWho is this?â Finally, someone noticed Qin Cuifen.
âThis is Mr. Fengâs guest.â
âOh!â
Everyoneâs scrutinizing gaze took in Qin Cuifen from head to toe, even inside out. They didnât say anything outright, but the subtle disdain in their eyes unconsciously showed.
âUncle Xing, you go ahead.â
âAlright.â Housekeeper Xing bowed slightly, leading Qin Cuifen to the door of Mr. Fengâs study.
âPlease wait a moment while I go in and report.â
âOkay.â Qin Cuifen was too nervous to speak, and responded honestly with her head down.
In the living room just now, being stared at by those men and women made her feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart. That attitude of complete disregard, as if looking at an ant, made her deeply insecure.
While feeling insecure, she also felt defiant, repeatedly telling herself. Her uncle is the President, her grandfather is a leader; much better off than these small business owners.
Whatâs so great about them? Theyâre just individuals nobody respects, right? Even if they have money, theyâre still private entrepreneurs.
In 1984, the mainland was just beginning to implement reform and opening up. Ordinary people still took pride in working in state-owned enterprises, especially in backward and remote rural areas, where anyone doing small businesses was considered an individual entrepreneur.
The older generation liked to gossip behind their backs, talking about them as speculators and profiteers.
Qin Cuifen kept trying to console herself, and after coming to terms with it, she felt completely different. She quietly straightened her spine and sized up her surroundings, feigning strength.
Especially when she saw the large crystal chandelier hanging from the two-story high ceiling, her eyes were glued to it.
In the study, Housekeeper Xing meticulously reported the events on Julianâs side.
âYou say her grandfatherâs surname is Su?â Mr. Feng caught the key point and said incredulously, âHow could there be such a coincidence in the world?â
âSir, wasnât Grand Auntâs husbandâs family surname Su?â Housekeeper Xing had heard this before but no one had confirmed it.
âThatâs right! My brother-in-lawâs surname is indeed Su, and he was a senior leader.â When they relocated the family, brother-in-law was already a Captain; if he hadnât died, he would be at least a senior leader.
âShe says her grandfather is a leader, her uncle is the President, and her mother is the commander. If true, itâs indeed impressive.â
âIf thatâs the case, itâs wonderful.â Mr. Feng sighed, âBack then, no one agreed for my sister to marry a country bumpkin, but she insisted against all odds, saying she wouldnât choose the wrong person. If itâs true, it means she was right, she succeeded, and brother-in-law succeeded too.â
Mr. Fengâs eyes were slightly red with excitement, âCould she be my sisterâs descendent? Does she resemble them?â
Housekeeper Xing shook his head, afraid that Mr. Feng was too excited, he supported him and said seriously, âThey are a generation apart; resembling each other doesnât mean much. The chance of resemblance like Lady Zhenzhen is quite small.â
