229 Meeting
Someone from the Bai Family was here?
Hearing this, Shen Wanxian started.
Actually, she didn’t harbor any hope of them coming. After all, the Bai Family from the capital was oneof the four great families!
Being one of the four great families didn’t merely mean that they were rich. It was also a symbol ofstatus and identity!
Hence, they basically gave no damn about the small influential families. As an example, Shen Wanxianhad married into the Wen Family from the capital for so many years and only managed to getacquainted with the third daughter-in-law from the Bai Family by chance…
The third son was someone who was doted upon the least, so the third daughter-in-law didn’t havemuch status in the family. She basically wouldn’t have any chance to speak to the old master.
Since that was the case, Shen Wanxian came this time purely because she had heard that the ChuFamily was here. She wanted to use the pretext of her being acquainted with the Bai Family so herdaughter would seem more pleasing to Matriarch Chu’s eyes.
But who would have thought that the third daughter-in-law actually succeeded?
For a time, Shen Wanxian was extremely excited.
Yun Zhengyang was also surprised. “Which Bai Family?”
The butler immediately replied, “The Bai Family from the Capital. Sir, it is none other than that BaiFamily!”
Yun Zhengyang hurriedly asked, “Where are they now?”
The butler then replied, “Their butler came in their stead, and he delivered a card saying that their oldmaster recently had an operation, so he needs to rest now. He will only come to pay a visit in fivedays.”
Yun Zhengyang immediately said, “I’ll go with you to see him.”
Even the butler from the Bai Family required Yun Zhengyang to personally welcome him. From this,one could tell the disparity between the status of the two families.
Yun Zhengyang only saw Shen Ruojing and Yun Wei after he followed his butler out. He nodded to thetwo of them.
Shen Wanxian then saw them after he left. She smiled and greeted, “Little Wei, this must be MissShen, right?”
Yun Wei nodded. “Correct.”
Shen Wanxian ignored the distant attitude Yun Wei had toward her, and her vision was fixed on ShenRuojing.
When she saw how beautiful Shen Ruojing looked despite using no make-up, she narrowed her eyesslightly before lowering her eyelids and not speaking anymore.
Very soon, Yun Zhengyang returned with Madam Yun, Matriarch Chu, and Shen Qianhui who had justcome back from their outing.
Shen Wanxian’s gaze swept past Madam Yun and Matriarch Chu, and ultimately landed on ShenQianhui. She then passionately stood up to grasp her hand. “This must be the little sister that motherhas been raising outside, right? Indeed, she looks the same as mother did when she was younger!”
After saying that, her eyes turned red and she used a tissue to wipe her eyes. “When mother passedaway, she held my hands and told me that I must take good care of you from the shadows. I also didn’texpect the Shen Family would bully you so badly…How pitiful, you must have suffered a lot throughthese years!”
Between the lines, she spoke about how Shen Qianhui had been bullied for so many years. She alsomade it sound as though she was the owner of this place.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianhui’s expression stiffened and she quietly pulled her hand back.
Matriarch Chu lowered her eyelids. “What suffering are you talking about? Mrs. Shen might have beenbullied when she was younger, but who in Sea City doesn’t know that she is a business genius? Shewas already managing the Shen Family’s business when she was studying at university. Through herhard work, she built the Shen Family up from nothing. I admire her very much!”
Madam Yun also agreed. “She must have inherited aunt’s business talent! As expected of her being thebiological daughter!”
The moment the word ‘biological’ rang out, Shen Wanxian’s expression stiffened.
She clenched her fingers before smiling. “I see. Younger sister is indeed impressive. I’m not too goodat managing businesses. At most, I can only mingle around and make friends everywhere…”
After saying that, she looked at Yun Zhengyang. “Is the matter of the Bai Family confirmed?”
Yun Zhengyang immediately smiled. “It is confirmed. The old master of the Bai Family will personallypay a visit in five days!”
“The Bai Family?” Matriarch Chu couldn’t help but be shocked. “The Bai Family from the capital?”
Shen Wanxian satisfiedly spoke, “That’s right. The old master of the Bai Family came to Ford City, so Ithought of a solution to invite him here so we can take the chance to play host and show ourgraciousness.”
Shen Wanxian then continued, “Matriarch Chu, I heard that the old master from the Bai Family went toSea City before this. As the leader of Sea City, did the Chu Family manage to host a banquet for theold master?”
“…” Matriarch Chu fell silent. “We are not acquainted with the Bai Family.”
The main point was that previously, the Chu Corporation had been in the midst of a crisis. Even if theold master of the Bai Family had gone there, they wouldn’t be in any mood to welcome him.
In addition, Chu Cichen was young and vigorous, having his own thoughts. He didn’t seem to want anyconnection with the people from the four great families.
Shen Wanxian lifted her chin slightly. “Look, I only knew that he just came back from Sea City. If I hadknown about this long ago, I would have been able to help you guys connect with each other. Butthere’s still time now. Five days later, I can make the introduction. Oh right…when they come five dayslater, will it be for lunch or dinner?”
Yun Zhengyang replied, “Lunch.”
Madam Yun immediately expressed, “In that case, during these five days, I’ll specially organize asumptuous banquet to welcome them! I wonder if there’s anything the old master of the Bai Family
doesn’t eat?!”
Shen Wanxian said, “The old master’s body isn’t very healthy, so there are many things he cannot eat.However, I didn’t manage to check this clearly as of now. How about this? Let me be the one toorganize the banquet. I will ask the third daughter-in-law of the Bai Family what the old master likes toeat the most.”
Madam Yun. “?”
Why did this Shen Wanxian directly snatch away the authority of the female owner of the house themoment she returned?
But no matter how Madam Yun tried, she wasn’t able to make a rebuttal!
Shen Wanxian even looked at Madam Yun. “Eldest sis-in-law, you won’t mind, right?”
Madam Yun was so angry that her chest was heaving. But she then deeply inhaled twice and couldonly spit the words “Nope” out.
After that, everyone could see how shameless Shen Wanxian was.
All the furniture here had their placements changed due to her insistence.
Shen Wanxian was fond of European-style stuff, so when she stayed here before she got married, allthe furniture was made in Europe.
On the other hand, Madam Yun was fond of Chinese-style furniture. But even after she had marriedYun Zhengyang, she couldn’t change the furniture according to what she liked despite being the femaleowner of the house.
It wasn’t easy for Madam Yun to wait until Shen Wanxian got married before she finally managed tochange the style of the house.
But now, the servants were told to move the European furniture out of the storage and replace theChinese-style ones. The entire living room had its look completely changed, and it didn’t look like thehome Madam Yun liked anymore…
This was especially so when Shen Wanxian ordered people to move the Chinese-style furniture away.She even mocked, “This style is too old and boring. It isn’t fashionable in the capital. We shouldn’t putthis kind of furniture here, or people might start ridiculing us…”
Madam Yun held her anger in and decided to head back to her bedroom, so she wouldn’t see thisnonsense.
When she was enduring her anger, Yun Wei pushed the bedroom door and entered.
Madam Yun’s eyes were red as she said, “The mother-and-daughter pair always act like creditorshounding our family for debt!”
Yun Wei angrily spoke, “She has married out, so you don’t have to tolerate her nonsense.”
Madam Yun sighed. “I know but if we can really forge a connection with the Bai Family, our family willhave the confidence to reject your marriage engagement with the Qian Family…”
These words caused Yun Wei to start slightly.
However, she suddenly felt that something was amiss and then took out a name card from her pocket.This name card was given by the young man after Shen Ruojing had saved the old man today.
Yun Wei recalled that she also gave her name card to the other party. She suddenly asked, “Mother,what is the name of that old master from the Bai Family of the capital?”
It seemed that those two she had met today were also surnamed ‘Bai’?
