Chapter 230 - 230 Each In Its Own Place

230 Each In Its Own Place

Madam Yun was startled upon hearing this.

After pondering, she patted her head. “I don’t know!”

Yun Wei. “Can you ask father?”

Madam Yun was inquisitive. “Why do you want to know this?”

!!

Yun Wei sighed. “So we can avoid being too impolite.”

Yun Zhengyang was currently in the study, so Madam Yun directly sent him a text.

Yun Zhengyang replied very quickly: [The old master’s surname is ‘Bai’ and his name is ‘Wei’.]

Bai Wei?

Yun Wei felt that this sounded somewhat familiar. But back when Bai Xiaojiu introduced them, because her teeth were in pain from biting the other party, she didn’t manage to hear the words clearly.

She asked again, “In that case, what is the name of his grandson?”

Yun Zhengyang. [He has many grandsons, but the eldest grandson is named Bai Zhongzhang.]

Many grandsons…

Yun Wei used Madam Yun’s phone to send another text. [In that case, does he have a grandson named Bai Xiaojiu?]

Yun Zhengyang: [I’ve never heard that one before.]

Yun Wei. “…”

She felt a little disappointed.

However, she still found this matter to be very ridiculous. If Shen Wanxian could invite Old Master Bai, why would there be a need for Wen Yuyi to stay in the Yun Family and seek a good family to marry into?

She then left Madam Yun’s bedroom and went to look for Shen Ruojing. After that, she asked, “Ruojing, are there many families with the surname ‘Bai’?”

Chu Tianye and Chu Yu were already asleep after finishing their dinner. While brewing her wolfberry tea, Shen Ruojing calmly replied, “Although it’s uncommon, it can still be considered a lot. I know a family surnamed ‘Bai’ in Sea City.”

“…” Yun Wei completely gave up. “That’s right, how could things be so coincidental?”

Shen Ruojing was planning to ask her what was the matter, but they suddenly heard knocking on the door.

And before she gave permission to enter, the door was pushed open.

Shen Wanxian brought along two servants and barged in.

Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes.

Yun Wei was badly enraged. “Aunt, what are you doing? Luckily, we are dressed properly. How can you bring people and barge in like this?”

Shen Wanxian immediately smiled. “Aiya, for a moment, I forgot that there are people staying here. My apologies.”

Shen Qianhui, who was in the bedroom, walked out after hearing the noise.

Shen Wanxian said, “Younger sister, I suddenly recalled that there’s a jade tea flask in mother’s room, so I wish to take that out when we play host to Old Master Bai.”

After saying that, she rudely entered the bedroom that Shen Qianhui was staying in and pointed to a cabinet. She then instructed the servants, “The green box on the second shelf.”

The servants went over and took the box.

They completely ignored the fact that Shen Qianhui hadn’t permitted them to enter.

Yun Wei frowned. “Aunt Wanxian, Aunt Qianhui is currently residing here. If you wish to enter, shouldn’t you get the permission of the owner first?”

Owner…

Shen Wanxian’s eyes flashed with a mocking light.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Who the hell was Shen Qianhui? She was the owner of this room!

Shen Wanxian sighed again. “I’m sorry. Because I used to stay here, I subconsciously treat this place as my own room. In addition, Old Master Bai is used to a high lifestyle. Those ordinary items are really incapable of matching his expectations. Hence, I can only use some of mother’s items to salvage the situation.”

Yun Wei tensed. “If you need anything, you can ask Aunt Qianhui to help you get them.”

“Oh.” Shen Wanxian smiled. “In that case, younger sister…can you help me take mother’s porcelain vase? We can place the vase in the living room so the place will look nicer.”

“…”

Shen Qianhui clenched her fists.

She just stayed in here, so how could she know where the porcelain vase was?

It felt as though Shen Wanxian sensed her embarrassment. “Oh look at me, how would you know where things are placed in the room? Come, let me show you.”

She walked to the entrance of the main bedroom. There were wooden hanging boards there, and on the left-most side, one of the boards was filled with horizontal lines made by a writing brush.

She laughed. “This was when mother recorded my height. When I was six, my growth suddenly slowed, and mother was anxious. She brought me to many doctors but in the end, the doctors told her that she was worrying needlessly. Children have times when they grow fast and slow…”

Shen Qianhui suddenly felt her heart clenching.

A sudden sense of jealousy and sullenness flooded her heart.

When she moved in yesterday, Yun Zhengyang and Madam Yun’s passionate attitude caused Shen Qianhui’s heart, which was lacking in love, to be filled. There was even an instant when she felt that this was her home.

She stayed in her mother’s room and she missed everything about her mother. She wanted to know everything about her mother.

But at this moment, Shen Wanxian’s casual words caused her to suddenly wake up.

Even when her mother died, she had never acknowledged her.

On the other hand, Shen Wanxian was her mother’s legal daughter in terms of identity. Shen Wanxian knew everything in this room clearly. In fact, she grew up here.

This realization caused Shen Qianhui to sigh. Her sense of belonging here vanished completely.

Maybe from the start, she shouldn’t have this sense of belonging.

Shen Wanxian seemed to have discovered her disappointment. She then walked to the side and pointed to another vase. “This is the vase mother loves the most. It’s a pity that I broke it accidentally when I was little. Mother wasn’t willing to throw it away, so she found someone to mend it and placed it here. Look, you can still see the lines of the cracks…

“Oh, as for this secondary bedroom, it was the room I stayed in. Mother helped to design it into a princess-style room. I was still young back then so I loved pink.”

“…”

Every single word of hers was flaunting her identity as the ‘owner’.

But Shen Qianhui was clearly the biological daughter!

Shen Qianhui’s expression was extremely unsightly as she forced herself to smile. She suddenly asked, “Are there guest rooms in the Yun Family?”

Shen Wanxian laughed. “There are many guest rooms here. I’ve got someone to prepare two rooms for you. Younger sister, you can move over there if you want to.”

After saying that, she even acted hypocritically and sighed. “After all, there will be many times when I will need to take things out of mother’s room. It won’t be too good if I keep disturbing younger sister’s rest. Younger sister can move back in after I finish arranging the furniture of the house, okay?”

“No need.” Shen Qianhui calmly replied, “Anyway, I have to go to the filming set tomorrow.”

If it wasn’t for the fact that it was already too late today and the two children were unsuited for long-distance traveling, Shen Qianhui would be leaving now.

After she said that, she went to the washroom attached to the bedroom and put away her toiletries.

She lifted her head and looked at this place.

Yesterday, she had a discussion with Jing Zhen about what sort of person her mother was. Her mother had left many things here, and she could see endless traces of love everywhere through various details.

But now, she understood that all the love here wasn’t for her.

She was forever that person abandoned by her mother.

She lifted her stuff and looked like a defeated general. She then turned and was about to leave the room.

But at this moment, a clear voice rang out, “Hold on!”
