I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

382 Maternal Granddaughter!

“Clank.”

Shen Yuansong’s grip on the teacup loosened and it dropped to the sofa before bouncing off onto the floor, shattering into pieces.

Even though he was a crafty fox who had lived for over 70 years, now he could only look at Wen Yuyi while feeling stunned. He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but not a single word came out.

The butler was also shocked at the side.

!!

However, he then walked up to Shen Yuansong and supported his arm. “Old Master, your hand is unable to hold onto the cup again…”

After saying that, he secretly pinched Shen Yuansong’s palm.

Only then did Shen Yuansong come back to his senses.

He looked over and realized that both Shen Jiayi and Wen Yuyi had stood up, seeming to have gotten a fright from his action. Shen Jiayi was even looking at him in astonishment as though she didn’t expect him to be so ill.

Now, the butler got a servant to clean the shattered teacup on the floor.

When one of the teacups in a set shattered, the entire set was to be discarded.

So, the servant naturally tossed the teapot and the rest of the teacups into the trash bag.

Wen Yuyi’s gaze landed on that teacup and she mumbled, “This tea set should be the Springwind Jade Red Porcelain Tea Set, right?”

A teacup like this had a value of 250,000 per teacup. The entire set was worth over a million dollars.

They were discarding the entire set just because one of the teacups had shattered?

Hearing this, Shen Jiayi raised her chin slightly. “That’s right. But aren’t cups meant to be used? Now that the set is no longer complete, naturally they have to be thrown away!”

Wen Yuyi once again felt the difference between the Wen Family and a truly influential family.

The topic had been diverted and Shen Yuansong held onto the butler’s hand tightly.

The butler immediately understood him and pretended to look curious. “Miss Shen, you were saying that Shen Qianhui is the illegitimate daughter of that female family head from the Yun Family? That’s impossible, right? Didn’t she remain unmarried for her entire life?”

Shen Jiayi also looked at Wen Yuyi curiously. “That’s right. What’s going on?”

Only then did Wen Yuyi continue, “I heard this from my mother. My mother is the foster daughter of that female family head. It was said that back then, the female family head fell in love with a farmer. She then felt that the difference between their family background was too vast, and thus they broke up. However, she was unable to forget that person and so didn’t remarry. But then, she and that farmer… I mean, she got pregnant. The female family head was afraid of embarrassment. After all, during that time, premarital pregnancy would reflect badly on her and make it seem that the Yun Family’s people had poor upbringings. Therefore, she secretly gave birth to the child and sent her to Sea City to be raised there.”

Shen Jiayi laughed. “A farmer? You’re saying that Shen Ruojing’s maternal grandfather is a farmer? That’s her maternal grandfather, right? No, wait, her father married into her mother’s family, so her maternal grandfather should be her paternal grandfather! To think that he is a farmer? It’s no wonder her disposition is so plain. Turns out that she has the blood of a farmer!

Shen Jiayi had just finished these words of mockery when she felt a cold gaze cast in her direction.

She instantly shut up and turned to discover that Shen Yuansong’s gaze was cold.

All of a sudden, Shen Jiayi recalled that her granduncle had studied agriculture when he was younger. He had great respect for agriculture. So, she immediately waved her hands and said, “Granduncle, I was wrong.”

Shen Yuansong ignored her and looked at Wen Yuyi.

The butler continued, “I went to Sea City back then and was lucky enough to meet the female family head. Speaking of which, it happened to be exactly 48 years ago. I remember that it was the new year and she wasn’t pregnant at that time. Which month was Shen Qianhui born in?”

Wen Yuyi said, “In order to not let anyone find out about this, the Yun female family head changed her birthday to be half a year later. If we calculate it, she was actually already pregnant when you went there!”

The butler glanced at Shen Yuansong. “I see.”

When Shen Yuansong felt suspicious, the butler already went to check Shen Qianhui’s date of birth. The dates didn’t match, so the two of them didn’t think in this direction at first.

Now that they thought back about it, it was fortunate that Shen Yuansong had relied on his intuition to set up this trap!

Shen Yuansong’s body stiffened even more.

He had indeed been with her during the new year back then…

This meant that Shen Qianhui was really his daughter! Shen Ruojing was his granddaughter!

He wasn’t alone in this lifetime! He had a daughter!

Shen Yuansong’s hands started trembling uncontrollably.

Looking at his hands, Shen Jiayi was even more astonished. She knew that her granduncle was in poor health, but to think that it had gotten this bad.

The butler said, “Old Master is not feeling well today. Fifth Miss, why don’t you bring Miss Wen to your place first? We can invite Miss Wen to perform next time.” The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ

Shen Jiayi stood up. “Alright. Then, Granduncle, with regards to the referral for the Vienna Music Hall, why don’t you recommend Wen Yuyi?”

Shen Yuansong didn’t pay attention to what Shen Jiayi was saying at all, but he pretended to be composed and said, “Alright, alright. Go off and have fun.”

Shen Jiayi then brought Wen Yuyi out excitedly.

Wen Yuyi tried to speak fawningly to Shen Jiayi. “Miss Shen, you’re really amazing. Just a word from you and the old master really changed his decision. If I really can perform at Vienna Music Hall, I’ll definitely thank you properly!”

Shen Jiayi raised her chin. “This is nothing. Since I was young, there’s nothing in the capital that I can’t get if I want it!”

Upon saying this, her mood suddenly fell.

There was something like that now.

There was a man she wanted but couldn’t get.

After Shen Jiayi and Wen Yuyi left the old master’s room, they didn’t return to Shen Jiayi’s room but went to the resting room instead.

Without hearing any music being played, Shen Ruojing saw Shen Jiayi and Wen Yuyi entering.

Shen Jiayi then raised her chin and looked at Yun Yiheng in disdain. “Let me tell you this. My granduncle has given the recommendation to Vienna Music Hall to Wen Yuyi. It’s useless no matter how hard you try to get into my granduncle’s good books!”

Wen Yuyi also smiled. “Cousin, this is too bad.”

Yun Yiheng’s countenance turned grim too.

He was in a bit of disbelief.

Having come to the Shen Family to play the zither recently, he felt that the old master wasn’t such a person. However, that didn’t matter. He could just ask the old master later when they played the zither for him.

Shen Jiayi and Wen Yuyi wanted to show off more when the butler suddenly walked over. He then looked at Yun Yiheng and Shen Ruojing. “Mr. Yun, Miss Shen, our old master isn’t feeling well. Can either of you quickly play the zither for him?”

Yun Yiheng was about to speak up when Shen Ruojing said, “I’ll go.”

...

Yun Yiheng immediately nodded.

Shen Ruojing stood up and followed the butler. She then asked slowly, “Why is the old master not feeling well?”

The butler lowered his head. “The old master just heard an impactful piece of news earlier and thus felt unwell. We’ll have to trouble Miss.”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

For some reason, she felt that the butler was even more polite toward her now.

Moreover, the “Miss” he addressed her with was lacking the “Shen” word. This made her appear as if she was a young miss he served…

But she didn’t think too much about this and just followed the butler into Old Master Shen’s room.

The moment Shen Ruojing entered, she suddenly felt an intense sense of familiarity.

Why did this decoration and design preferences seem a little similar to her grandmother’s room in the Yun Manor?

The mahogany furniture gave off a rustic disposition.

She then sized up the surroundings and became increasingly certain of the guess in her heart.

...

“Miss, please take a seat.”

The butler pointed to a zither and said to her.

Shen Ruojing looked at Shen Yuansong. Right now, his eyes were a little red, and his gaze when staring at her seemed a little strange. He seemed to be very agitated yet restrained.

However, it was true that his countenance didn’t look good.

Shen Ruojing lowered her peach blossom eyes and sat down in front of the zither, playing [Coldness of Plum Blossoms].

The zither music sounded beautiful, seeming to have washed away all the dirt and dust in the mortal world, cleansing the heart and spirit with spring water. Shen Yuansong’s agitated emotions finally calmed down slowly.

After the piece was finished, Shen Ruojing looked at Shen Yuansong again. She saw that the old master’s countenance seemed a lot better and his breathing had become regulated.

She checked around and realized that the butler had gone out at some point. There were only the two of them in the room now.

Old Master Shen Yuansong had his eyes closed, looking like he had fallen asleep.

This was a good opportunity to steal his DNA sample.

So, Shen Ruojing’s lips curled and she stood up. She got closer with footsteps that were like a cat’s, very silent.

When she arrived in front of Shen Yuansong, she suddenly reached out her hand and pulled off a strand of Shen Yuansong’s hair.

However, at the next moment, Shen Yuansong opened his eyes and caught her in the act.

Shen Ruojing. “…”

Shen Yuansong looked at her, his gaze filled with complicated emotions. “Lass, what are you thinking of doing?”

“…”

Since she was caught, she decided not to hide it anymore.

Shen Ruojing asked openly, “Old Master, do you know my grandmother—the Yun Family’s female family head?”
