I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

318 Front of Hand VS Back of Hand

Matriarch Bai had presbyopia. She then narrowed her eyes and looked at Bai Yitong’s phone.

A photograph of his classmate could be seen there. Every time a newcomer joined the school, they would have to take a group photograph. This was a rule set by the kindergarten.

Every face in the photograph was small, so even after Bai Yitong had enlarged the photo and pointed out Chu Xiaoqi, bringing his phone to a distance where Matriarch Bai could see it, the face was already blurry due to the bad resolution.

But even so, Matriarch Bai faintly felt a sense of familiarity when she looked at Chu Xiaoqi’s photo.

Sadly, no matter how she looked, the blurry face didn’t get clearer.

She twitched her lips. “A little girl dares to seize the slot belonging to my eldest great-grandson? No way!”

She stretched out her shaking hands and patted Bai Yitong’s head.

Shen Wanying then heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this. She directly spoke, “Grandma, do you want to make a call to Dean Lin?”

Matriarch Bai took her phone out. “Sure, I’ll call her now!”

But once she inputted Lin Yi’s number and pressed ‘call’, Matriarch Bai suddenly thought of something. She then immediately stopped the call. After that, she looked at Shen Wanying. “Lin Yi just got back from the hospital, let’s not disturb her during this period. How about this, I’ll call her a bit later.”

Shen Wanying didn’t understand why Matriarch Bai suddenly changed her mind but still nodded her head in agreement.

Matriarch Bai then spoke, “Alright, you should bring Little Tong to eat some fruits first. You have also yet to eat dinner. Just wait for my news.”

Shen Wanying nodded.

She then held Bai Yitong’s hand and walked out. Just when she reached the door’s entrance, her gaze suddenly flashed. After handing her child to the nanny, she entered her own room instead.

After entering, she walked to her computer. She then turned it on and wore the headphones. As expected, she discovered Matriarch Bai making a call to the ‘second uncle’!

Shen Wanying frowned.

Actually, how could there be a real second uncle? When she had just married in, it was extremely tough to get along with Matriarch Bai. The latter would keep making things difficult for her.

She knew that Matriarch Bai wasn’t intentionally targeting her. Rather, her personality just became weird and stubborn after the second uncle left home.

Although the four sons in the Bai Family were birthed by Matriarch Bai, the better the other three did in life, the more she would think about how hard her second son had it out there. Hence, she didn’t treat the rest of her sons and juniors well either.

On the other hand, Shen Wanying had grown up in the Shen Family where she was doted on all the time. Other than Shen Yuansong, no one dared to treat her like this. In addition, Old Master Bai was always biased toward Bai Xiaojiu, and this caused Bai Zhongzhang to feel a sense of crisis.

As his wife, she naturally wanted to become the future Matriarch of the Bai Family. She couldn’t possibly allow Bai Xiaojiu to become the successor of all the Bai Family’s businesses, so she had to think of a way to secure their position.

In the Bai Family, the only person whose status was equal to Old Master Bai was Matriarch Bai!

So, if she wanted to get on Matriarch Bai’s good side, the only way was to locate the second uncle.

The second uncle of the Bai Family had left home for over thirty years and he might no longer be alive. In the beginning, she also sincerely searched for him.

But regardless of how much effort the Bai Family put in, in addition to the efforts of the Shen Family, they failed to find Bai Jiayao. After searching for half a year and being certain that there were no clues, Shen Wanying thought of a solution.

It was to lie and say that she had located the second uncle. After that, she would simply find someone who spoke similarly to the second uncle and fake his identity when Matriarch Bai made calls.

As expected, Matriarch Bai’s attitude toward her greatly changed and she shielded her immensely whenever they were at home. The latest_epi_sodes are on_the Noᴠelꜰire

And because she was the one who found the ‘second uncle’, Matriarch Bai felt that in the entire family, Shen Wanying was the one who treated her the best. This was why Shen Wanying and Bai Zhongzhang were greatly supported by Matriarch Bai.

Moreover, the second uncle definitely couldn’t be allowed to return.

If not, him being a fake would surely be discovered. Hence, she told the ‘second uncle’ to act like he couldn’t forgive his family members due to what had happened in the past.

He would only speak with Matriarch Bai and would ignore Old Master Bai.

Such a behavior matched the true second uncle’s personality, hence, they weren’t suspected of anything in these two years.

At this moment, the fake ‘second uncle’s’ voice rang out from the phone. “Mother, why do you keep calling me? If you keep doing it, I’m going to change my number!”

All these were Shen Wanying’s instructions. As long as the fake second uncle’s attitude remained bad, Matriarch Chu would definitely continue trying to please him. Shen Wanying would then be able to obtain the most benefits this way.

As expected, Matriarch Bai immediately replied, “Don’t, don’t. Old Second, I’m calling you just to check something with you.”

The ‘second uncle’ coldly said, “Speak.”

Matriarch Bai went straight to the point. “Did your daughter give birth to another daughter? I’m talking about your granddaughter. Old Second, do you still remember that special kindergarten you were studying in? They just invited Teacher Sparton to teach there and he is currently accepting personal students! Do you want to get your granddaughter to join the school? Lin Yi will definitely leave a slot for me. However, there is only one spare slot! Today, Shen Wanying wants me to leave the slot for Little Tong, and I immediately thought of you. If you want the slot, I’ll reserve that for you and this will allow your granddaughter to receive a better education!”

After hearing Matriarch Bai’s words, Shen Wanying was so angry that she almost snapped the pen in her hands!

This damn undying fool!

Shen Wanying was worried that if the second uncle really returned, Matriarch Bai would surely be biased toward him. Hence, she intentionally got the fake second uncle to say that he only had a single daughter.

After all, the four great families were very traditional and still retained the mindset of favoring males over females.

Naturally, she was also afraid that Matriarch Bai would matchmake the second uncle’s daughter with someone else, and this might affect Bai Zhongzhang’s rights of succession. Hence, Shen Wanying told the fake to say that he had a daughter, and her daughter had given birth to another daughter!

Once the women were married, they would belong to the other family. In addition, his wife had given birth to a daughter, so one could say that they no longer had any connection with the Bai Family.

But even so, Shen Wanying didn’t expect Matriarch Bai’s biasedness toward the second uncle to be so great to such an extent!!

Bai Yitong was her biological great-grandson! A male!

However, the first thing Matriarch Bai thought of was to leave the slot for the second uncle’s granddaughter?

This level of biasedness was simply off the charts!

Shen Wanying’s chest heaved violently, but there was no need for her to teach the fake how to reply. He immediately replied, “Don’t try to use this to please me.”

“Child, I’m not trying to please you, but trying to compensate for you! I don’t know how much you suffered outside all these years, and your daughter has never even met her grandmother, which is me. I also want to compensate her and your granddaughter. This is the only thing I can do for you,” Matriarch Bai sincerely spoke.

The fake second uncle fell silent. “No need for that. They are living a very good life now. Just give the slot to Little Tong. He is also someone from the Bai Family.”

“There’s no rush for Little Tong. Once there’s something good in the family, he will surely have a share. But you guys have been wandering outside for so many years and don’t have anything…”

“I said I don’t want anything! Stop talking about this matter!”

“…Alright, alright. Don’t be angry, don’t be angry…” Matriarch Bai’s tone softened.

Shen Wanying also sighed with relief.

After hanging up, as per what she expected, Matriarch Bai indeed called her to go over.

When Shen Wanying entered Matriarch Bai’s vision, she heard this undying old fool saying, “I’ll accompany you to school tomorrow. For such a matter, it is better to personally speak with Lin Yi.”

Shen Wanying wasn’t as excited as she thought she would be. She only felt a sense of mockery when she looked at the old woman in front of her.

She had put in so much effort to fawn on and please this old woman, but in her heart, her second son’s family was more important?

The front of the hand and the back of the hand were both flesh!

However, Shen Wanying lowered her head and suppressed her resentment while maintaining a smile on her face. “Grandma, I really have to thank you!”

“Why do you have to thank me? We are one family.” Matriarch Bai laughed. “In addition, I understand Lin Yi. She will definitely share with me if there’s good stuff. Once I speak, it’s impossible for her to reject my request. As for that child who was chosen, we can simply pay her parents some compensation.”
