During the late winter and early spring, the spring flowers in March are gradually waking up.
The capital, which was covered in snow for two months, was finally covered in green again.
At seven o'clock in the evening, one by one, black luxury cars drove into the Cheng family's courtyard because tonight was the "Return Banquet" for Cheng Xiao, the true daughter of the Cheng family.
In the magnificent Cheng Residence, Cheng Ming and Xie Wan were walking around with their biological daughter, greeting the guests.
"Xiaoxiao, come, this is Mr. Tang and his wife from the Tang family in the west of the city." Cheng Ming smiled and asked Cheng Xiao to greet them.
Looking at Cheng Xiao's elegant behavior and polite smile, Cheng Ming thought to himself, only a daughter like this is worthy of his efforts! Unlike that worthless Cheng Ling.

"Oh my, this is Cheng Xiao. She's so beautiful and her temperament is so elegant! Indeed, one's temperament is something you're born with. Even though Xiaoxiao had been wandering in the outside world for so many years, it's still obvious that she's a young lady from a noble family!"
"Yeah, I heard that she's proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Her grades are not bad either! She's nothing like that Cheng Ling. An ugly duckling will always be an ugly duckling. She's been in the Cheng family for so many years and doesn't look like a young lady from a noble family at all."

The wives from other families also joined in the conversation. "Yeah, today's occasion is so grand, yet, look at Cheng Ling and how she's dressed! She's a disgrace to the Cheng Family! She's not good at her studies either. She only knows how to grow vegetables all day long. The only good thing about her is that she won't have to worry about not having fresh vegetables to eat in the future."

When the wives who were beautifully dressed for the occasion heard this they all laughed.
Meanwhile, this fake daughter Cheng Ling, who was said to be a pile of mud that couldn't be helped, was currently standing quietly by the wooden relief window.
Her appearance was completely different from everyone else. She was only wearing a simple white shirt and light-colored jeans. Her hair wasn't styled either, just gently draped over her shoulders.
Her back was thin but straight.
Cheng Ming and Xie Wan could not keep their faces straight whenever someone mentioned Cheng Ling. Fortunately, Mrs. Tang opened a new topic in time. "Mr. Cheng, I heard that Xiaoxiao met with Professor Wu from Beijing University?"
1
Who was Professor Wu? Everyone in Beijing probably knew who he was. The Wu family was famous for their knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and the young Professor Wu inherited the Wu family's traditional Chinese medicine skills. He was the most famous doctor in all of China.
Many prestigious families wanted to climb up to Professor Wu's high social status. Even if they only had the opportunity to talk to him, such an opportunity would be great!
Hearing this, Xie Wan beamed with joy and held Cheng Xiao's hand lovingly.
Cheng Xiao was wearing Dior's latest couture dress. She stood quietly beside Xie Wan with a shy but elegant smile on her face. The pure white dress made her look very cute. Her hair was styled in a princess updo and she wore a crystal crown.
"Yes, Xiaoxiao got the chance to study at the American Winter Camp last year. While she was there, Professor Wu requested to see my Xiaoxiao. He said that she's smart, beautiful, and hard to come by!"
When the others heard this, they cried out in surprise. Their eyes were full of jealousy and some even looked envious!
1
Professor Wu never took in disciples and never met anyone he didn't know. Yet, he actually took the initiative to see Cheng Xiao? Even if Cheng Xiao only studied with Professor Wu for a month, her future would be immeasurable!
"This is amazing! Xiaoxiao, you have to introduce Professor Wu to us in the future!"
"Yeah! It's your family's honor to have a daughter as such! If my child was half as outstanding as Xiaoxiao, I'll personally give thanks to the buddhas!"
For a moment, everyone did their best to please Cheng Ming and his family, making Cheng Ming and Xie Wan smile.
Xie Ying looked at the happy scene in the corner and then looked at Cheng Ling's quiet back. Her heart ached.
"Lingling, don't listen to their nonsense. They don't know how good you are..."
But Cheng Ling didn't turn around. Was she crying?
Xie Ying anxiously twisted Cheng Ling's body around. The 18-year-old girl's skin was as smooth as butter. A breeze blew in, revealing the girl's fair and plump forehead.

"I'm sorry, Grandma. Are you talking to me?"
Cheng Ling tilted her head slightly and took off her Bluetooth earpiece.
Xie Ying saw that Cheng Ling's phone screen showed that she was in the middle of a call. The name "Professor Wu" was displayed on the bright screen.
1
So she was calling someone.
Xie Ying was puzzled. Was this "Professor Wu" the Professor Wu the guests were talking about just now? She waved her hand to let Cheng Ling continue her call.
"What did you say just now?" A man's clear voice came from the other side of the phone.
"I said I'm here to listen to gossips about you. I heard that you personally requested to meet a girl in the United States and you even praised her for being smart and beautiful?"
Cheng Ling's voice was clear and bright.. In this noisy environment, it was like a breeze and a bright moon.
