Review Detail of LaoTze in The Chubby Rich Daughter's Counterattack

This is a frustrating novel. Everyone is against the FL, who is ugly and fat, except the mother who we’re told loves her immensely and wants to protect her from the cruelty of the world. Explain why then she puts up with the way her husband openly disdains and puts down the FL, repeatedly, always choosing to overlook his obvious bias. The mother is supposed to be an astute, top-shelf business woman who built her company from scratch, but she’s incapable of spotting a scammer who clearly favors the daughter they supposedly adopted over her biological daughter. She doesn’t catch onto the favor he openly shows for his “adopted” daughter over hers. The brother is equally as gullible, being led by the white-lotus adopted daughter into hating his biological sister. Again, falling for clear manipulative tactics. It’s all paint-by-numbers and the characters are unappealingly stupid and gullible, given how smart they supposedly are.
