True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (52)
The moment they heard about her finding a good job, everyone burst into laughter, but then they started thinking about it seriously. Chu Xiang was completely ignored in the Chu family. Although she should be the sole heiress of the family’s billions of assets, it seemed like she had no connection to it at all. She didn’t even dare to go back home and only wanted to study well and secure a good future.
This was quite peculiar!
They really wanted to meet the two sisters of the Chu family, but neither Chu Xuan nor Chu Xiang went out to play this weekend. This only piqued people’s curiosity even more. At least, there were more and more people looking forward to meeting Chu Xiang. They all wanted to verify whether the real Chu Xiang was a malicious man-eater or an inspirational little angel.
A few people have mentioned it to their parents and elders at home as well.
The Chu family was considered part of the upper-class circle in the capital. Although they were not at the top of the elite families, there were still quite a few people who knew about the incident of them bringing back the wrong child. Previously, it was only heard that the child they found was not presentable, so the Chu family never took her out. However, now they were hearing a different version of the story from the child herself.
Whether it was the fake heiress orchestrating the plot against the real heiress or the real heiress being jealous and targeting the fake heiress, it indicated that the Chu family was in turmoil. It also showed that the Chu couple didn’t handle the situation well. It has been three months since the child’s return, yet there were still conflicts within the family, with scandals being spread outside.
Families with some status and background have removed the Chu sisters from their marriage prospects. In their eyes, even if Chu Xiang was innocent, she lacked the grace cultivated from childhood and didn’t have enough understanding of the upper-class circles to be a proper wife. Moreover, she lacked family support and might not even inherit the family business. Even if she did inherit, her parents’ somewhat confused style could potentially become a liability.
She could be friends with their children, but marriage was out of the question. If cooperation was considered, it needed to be carefully considered. As long as there were other options, there was no need to choose the Chu family.
While Father Chu was still working overtime at the company, he was already been moved to the bottom of the backup list for some projects involving the Chu family.
Of course, there were also families similar to the Chu family or those whose minds weren’t as clear, as well as ambitious families, who have set their sights on Chu Xuan and Chu Xiang.
These two girls didn’t seem capable of carrying a company. Marrying them would provide an opportunity to swallow up the Chu family, wouldn’t it?
Being targeted by people with ulterior motives, seeing them as a tasty cake, was clearly not a good thing. The future of the Chu family has quietly entered the difficult mode.
However, Father Chu and Mother Chu were completely unaware. On the contrary, they even felt that their lives has gone back to the way it used to be, comfortable. Perhaps they should have let Chu Xiang stay in the boarding school long ago, or even arranged for her to go to a different school. That way, they could just spend money to support Chu Xiang and keep her separated from them. She wouldn’t have as many opportunities to bully Chu Xuan, and they wouldn’t be infuriated by her, nor would they have so many embarrassing incidents.
Mr. and Mrs. Chu were very satisfied with Chu Xiang’s stay in the school’s dorm, so they didn’t pay much attention to this matter. They didn’t even ask the teachers about it, so they naturally missed the chance to learn about the new situation from them.
Mother Chu and three other ladies went out for a spa, and one of them, Mrs. Li, had a daughter who was in the same class as Chu Xiang and Chu Xuan. She knew quite a bit about these matters and brought it up, saying, “Isn’t it inappropriate for your two daughters to be together all the time? After all, their identities are awkward. It would be better to separate them.”
Mother Chu felt a bit embarrassed. She hadn’t felt this kind of embarrassment in many years, but ever since Chu Xiang appeared, she had been experiencing it repeatedly. How could she not feel a sense of disgust towards Chu Xiang?
She casually replied with a nonchalant expression, “It’s fine. The midterm exams are coming up in a few days, and they will be separated into different classes based on their grades. That way, they won’t have to see each other every day and feel awkward. Initially, I thought Chu Xiang had just transferred and wasn’t familiar with the school, so it would be better for her to have Chu Xuan with her. I didn’t expect her… to become the subject of everyone’s ridicule.”
Mrs. Li waved her hand and said, “Children play around. Why make it sound so serious as if it’s a big joke? But as girls grow up, their image and reputation become important. They should be more careful, or else they might easily become the subject of gossip, don’t you think?”
Most of the relationships among the ladies were based on mutual interests, and there were few close and genuine friendships among them. They were superficial. Besides, they all had a certain level of grace and manners, so Mrs. Li naturally couldn’t go into details about the incidents at school. She only mentioned a few things.
