As soon as I arrived at the door, someone came out to greet me.

"The two young masters are back. And this is..."

The butler noticed Hua Yan following behind and couldn't help but ask a question.

"This is my classmate, a guest invited by my grandfather."

Fu Wang said smugly, as if he was very proud that Hua Yan was his classmate.

The butler was a man around fifty years old with slightly graying hair. He looked kind and approachable, but his shrewd eyes told others that he was not someone who could be easily fooled.

"Oh! This is the classmate Hua Yan that you two gentlemen often mention. She looks even younger than you. Please come in."

The butler made a professional "please" gesture.

"Hello, uncle!"

Hua Yan greeted her politely.

"Grandpa, this is Huayan, my prodigy sister. She brought you a lot of gifts. I told her not to take them, but she insisted, saying it's impolite to visit someone empty-handed."

Fuwang greeted the old man who came out of the living room with a cheerful introduction.

"Oh! Hehe! This is the Hua Yan classmate you keep talking about?"

At this moment, an elderly man with a full head of white hair looked at Hua Yan with a kind expression, his smile filled with inquiry.

"Hello, Grandpa! I'm Hua Yan."

Hua Yan handed the gifts she had brought to the housekeeper.

"Hehe! Such a young child, yet so adept at social etiquette. I'm quite impressed!"

Fu Wang's grandfather, Fu Youguo, was the Director-General of the Policy Planning Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responsible for formulating and adjusting national foreign policy. He was formerly the Director-General of the European Affairs Department, but after returning to China due to his advanced age, he was reassigned to the position of Director-General of the Policy Planning Department.

"Grandpa, this is what my dad said. You can't go to someone's house empty-handed. Even if you don't have money, you can't go empty-handed, no matter how light the gift is."

Hehe! These have nothing to do with Hua Jingxing; they are mainly conclusions drawn by Hua Yan from her previous life based on her experience.

"Hehe! Okay! Come and sit down."

"Thank you grandpa!"

The housekeeper brought over juice and snacks and placed them on the coffee table in front of Hua Yan.

"Hua Yan, I heard from Xiao Wang that you are the top scorer in Liaoning Province. It's truly remarkable to become the top scorer at such a young age. What are your plans for the future?"

Haha! What's this old man up to?

"Grandpa, I like making money. After I graduate, I want to respond to the country's call and contribute to economic development."

Hua Yan didn't hide anything and spoke the truth.

"Oh! Haha! Great! That's a good idea!"

Fu Youguo never expected that Hua Yan was such a straightforward child.

"Can you tell Grandpa how you want to contribute to the country's economic development?"

"I want to introduce advanced foreign technologies and excellent management experience to attract their companies to develop in China. While learning, we can improve ourselves and then let Chinese companies flourish all over the world."

That's exactly what Hua Yan is doing now.

"Oh! Such advanced ideas, did your family instill them in you?"

"Yes! My father is in business. He always tells me that the country is facing difficulties, and as Chinese citizens, we have an obligation to contribute to the country."

"Oh? Your father has a very broad perspective."

Fu Youguo is now not only interested in Hua Yan, but even more interested in her father.

After chatting with Hua Yan's father for a while, Fu Youguo talked to Hua Yan about the current state of the country's development and listened to her opinions.

Hua Yan was never stingy in sharing her thoughts with others, especially those who could influence the country's future development. Judging from what Fu Youguo said to her, she knew he was an elderly man deeply concerned about the nation's progress.

"Hua Yan, come to our house with Fu Lin and Fu Wang whenever you have time. Grandpa really enjoys chatting with you."

"Grandpa, since you like the prodigy sister so much, why don't you adopt her as your granddaughter? That way, I'll be her older brother."

Seeing how much the old man liked Huayan, Fuwang immediately suggested that he satisfy his personal desires.

"Well, if Hua Yan agrees, Grandpa will have no problem with it. Such a good girl is much better than you, her grandson, to be Grandpa's granddaughter."

Fu Youguo smiled broadly, never expecting his grandson to offer such constructive advice.

Hua Yan hadn't expected Fu Wang to say that, and Fu Lin was also looking at her expectantly, as if she would commit some heinous crime if she didn't agree. The key point was that she was even more surprised that Fu Youguo also agreed. He dared to agree to this without even knowing her family background; he was certainly bold.

A few years ago, it would have been difficult for ordinary people to even get close to someone of Fu Youguo's status, let alone to become his godparent.

Haha! Little Hua Yan, you're still too green. If we hadn't thoroughly investigated you, Fu Lin Fu Wang would never have had the chance to bring you into the Fu family.

However, we also have to thank little Fuwang. Whenever he comes home, the conversation always revolves around her being a child prodigy, which is why the old man is interested in her. He has also inquired about Huayan with professors at Yenching University, so Huayan is practically unknown to Fuyouguo.

Well, it's not exactly transparent. The old man doesn't know anything about Hua Yan's businesses. The key is that he didn't pay any attention to them at all. He only had someone investigate Hua Yan's family and studies.

After the meal, Hua Yan became Fu Youguo's goddaughter, and the three members of the Fu family were very happy.

Fu Lin and Fu Wang's parents are both diplomats and are currently abroad, so they live with their grandparents. As for Fu Wang's grandmother, she wasn't seen, and Hua Yan didn't ask.

Fu Youguo had someone send Hua Yan back to school, and Fu Lin and Fu Wang also happily followed them back to the dormitory they had only stayed in a few times.

As soon as Hua Yan arrived at the dormitory building, she saw Ye Zhuang and Men Sheng walking towards her from a distance.

"Third sister, your eldest brother and I wanted to take you out to eat, where have you been?"

"Come to our house for dinner. Who are you? The prodigy sister is my own sister now, and I have to protect her. She can't be fooled."

Upon seeing Ye Zhuang, Fu Wang felt an inexplicable sense of crisis, so he immediately revealed his identity. Fu Lin also looked at Ye Zhuang and Men Sheng, his small face expressionless.

"Oh? Third Sister, what happened?"

Ye Zhuang was very interested in what Fu Wang had said.

Hua Yan sighed, realizing she would have to explain herself again. So she didn't hide anything and told Ye Zhuang and Men Sheng everything that had happened at the Fu family's house.

Ye Zhuang and Men Sheng were both very perceptive people, and upon hearing Fu Lin and Fu Wang's surname, they already had a guess in their minds.

"What should I call Grandpa Fu?"

Ye Zhuang still wanted to confirm his guess.

“My grandfather’s name is Fu Youguo. He was originally a diplomat and is now the Director-General of the Policy Planning Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

When Fuwang heard Huayan address Mensheng and Yezhuang as "elder brother" and "second brother," he knew they were family and felt a sense of closeness, so he didn't hide anything and spoke directly. They wouldn't have done that with others, because their grandfather had told them to keep a low profile.

"Oh! So you're Director Fu's grandson. I'm Jiu'er's second brother, Ye Zhuang, and this is our eldest brother, Men Sheng. Jiu'er is our third sister, but how should we arrange the order now?"

Ye Zhuang introduced himself and Men Sheng in a hurried manner.

"Big brother, second brother, then we'll be Jiu'er's third and fourth brothers. Don't call us Third Sister anymore, that's too old-fashioned. Just call us Jiu'er, little sister!"

Fu Wang took it upon himself to arrange the order and even decide on the titles. He was also one of those who were supposed to be listed, just like Ye Zhuang.

Men Sheng and Ye Zhuang certainly didn't object to Fu Lin and Fu Wang, but more importantly, they had no right to object, so they gladly accepted Fu Wang's proposal.

However, Ye Zhuang felt a little jealous when he heard that Fu Youguo had recognized Hua Yan as his granddaughter, because he also wanted his grandfather to recognize Hua Yan as his granddaughter. He went home and told his grandfather about Hua Yan, and his grandfather told him to bring Hua Yan back to visit when he had time.

He had originally planned to invite Hua Yan to his home after the National Day holiday, but the girl never came back and disappeared for more than a month. When Hua Yan returned, he was busy with his own affairs and put the matter aside. Unexpectedly, the two boys from the Fu family beat him to it.

Ye Zhuang was filled with regret! He could accept that his brother hadn't gotten ahead of Men Sheng, since Men Sheng had met Hua Yan first! But how could he have lost to the Fu family when it came to getting his grandfather to recognize his granddaughter? He had met Hua Yan before them!

Ye Zhuang swallowed his resentment and thought about how to make amends.

"Jiu'er, to be honest, my grandfather also wants to adopt you as his granddaughter! This isn't something I learned from Grandpa Fu; it's something I've been planning for a long time. I was originally planning to see you when I came back from the National Day holiday, but you disappeared for more than a month, so it was delayed. Now that the exams are over, let's put this on the agenda!"

Ye Zhuang wanted to strike while the iron was hot, focusing on the fact that Hua Yan couldn't refuse. With the Fu family by her side, Hua Yan really couldn't refuse. The key point was that Hua Yan also wanted to get to know the legendary head of the Ministry of Commerce.
