I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

243 Arrived!

Arrived?

Who arrived?

Qian Nanyin and Wen Yuyi were both shocked. After exchanging a mutual glance, Qian Nanyin doubtfully asked, “Has the Bai Family arrived?”

Wen Yuyi answered, “…That isn’t possible, right? What time is it? I thought they would only be here in the afternoon?”

The Bai Family had an esteemed status. Since they had said they would come for lunch, they would definitely only come when it was time for lunch. However, it was only 9 a.m. now. It was impossible for them to come so early!

As the two of them thought of this, they heard Madam Yun in the living room doubtfully asking, “Who has arrived?”

“T…The Bai Family!” The butler panted.

“What?”

Everyone stood up abruptly. Yun Wei then decisively spoke, “Butler, go up and get my father and the others. We will head to the entrance to welcome them first.”

The Bai Family was one of the four great influential families of the capital, so it wasn’t too excessive for the Yun Family to welcome them at the entrance. Since the Bai Family had arrived, how could they still stay in the living room?

Hence, the group of them began to walk out.

Wen Yuyi hurriedly ran to the kitchen to look for Shen Wanxian, who was instructing the servants in charge of preparing the banquet. “Mother, don’t do this anymore. The Bai Family has arrived!”

Hearing this, Shen Wanxian quickly rushed out of the kitchen and complained as she walked with her daughter. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If Madam Yun gets ahead of me, won’t all my limelight be stolen by her?”

The living room was soon empty of people.

On the other hand, Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen only stayed upstairs. Just like her parents, Shen Ruojing also didn’t wish to host the Bai Family, so she decided to stay out from the main route, preparing to look for Chu Cichen.

In the end, as she turned a corner, she suddenly heard a voice from up ahead.

“Oi, Shen Ruojing. Although your character isn’t good and you always suppress Qing Dai, I was wrong for accusing you of things. Hey, this is a compensation gift, so please forgive my previous behavior!”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

She walked over in the direction of the voice and saw Yun Yiheng standing in front of a dressing mirror at the end of the corridor with a gift box in his hands. He was currently talking to his reflection.

“This won’t do. It is too embarrassing.”

Yun Yiheng coughed and practiced his speech again before the mirror.

“Eh, thanks for protecting my sister. This is a thank you gift. Don’t think that I like you because I gave you a present.”

“Tsk, seeing that you protected my sister, in the future, this little young master will be your backer when you are in Ford City! There, this is for you!”

“I didn’t expect that although you are Anonymous and have a bad character, you can still be a good cousin. I’ll approve that you are my cousin. This is a meeting gift…”

“Ah, how can I say that I will approve of her as my cousin?”

Yun Yiheng scratched his head and paced around while feeling vexed. He angrily mumbled, “When have I ever needed to apologize to people before? This is really…”

“…”

Shen Ruojing’s lips suddenly curled when she looked at this younger cousin of his.

She silently took two steps back and intentionally made her footsteps sound heavy. As expected, the sound ahead vanished.

Shen Ruojing then walked out from the corner and saw Yun Yiheng lifting his brows. She asked, “What are you doing here? They said that the Bai Family has arrived, and they all went to welcome them at the entrance.”

The moment he saw Shen Ruojing, an expression of embarrassment and guilt flashed through his gaze. But from her words, he realized that she didn’t hear his earlier monologue. Hence, he heaved a sigh of relief.

After that, he coughed, loosened the tie around his collar, and then walked over. When he was passing her by, he suddenly halted his steps.

The young man straightened his back and his face was slightly flushed. After that, he spoke very quickly, “Why are you wearing such informal clothes seeing that the Bai Family has arrived?”

As he spoke, he pushed the gift in his hands into Shen Ruojing’s hands. He then added, “Hey, this is for you. This necklace is very expensive, so go and wear it. You must not let that fake young miss, Wen Yuyi, look better than you!”

Shen Ruojing’s lips curled as she lifted her eyebrows and looked at him.

Yun Yiheng immediately felt even more awkward. He quickly added, “This is because I don’t want you to lose the face of the Yun Family!”

Shen Ruojing then said, “Thanks.”

“N…no need for thanks.” Yun Yiheng was even more embarrassed now seeing that Shen Ruojing’s attitude suddenly became so good. After mumbling a few words, he didn’t want to stay here anymore and swiftly rushed outside.

Shen Ruojing looked at his departing back view and laughed.

Her little cousin was quite adorable.

When she turned her head again, Chu Cichen was already standing before her. She had no idea how much he had seen, but the man’s lips were curled into a smile and with his low voice, he asked, “You’ve approved of the Yun Family?”

After being in contact with Shen Ruojing for so long, in addition to his previous understanding of her in the organization, Chu Cichen completely understood what sort of person Shen Ruojing was.

She was like an arrogant lone wolf, always choosing to maintain a certain distance from others.

As if only very few people could enter her world.

At this moment, Shen Ruojing lowered her eyelids and said, “Well, we are kin.”

After saying that, it seemed as though she didn’t want to continue on with this topic. She looked at Chu Cichen. “Did you find any clues?”

Chu Cichen shook his head.

Hearing it, Shen Ruojing silently sighed. She had long since guessed it.

After Chu Cichen vanished that night, all traces of his existence were wiped. At that time, she thought that he had encountered some misfortune so she used her own network in Sea City to search for him. However, it was to no avail.

Since six years had passed, now that Chu Cichen wanted to look for clues, he would definitely find it even more challenging compared to her back then.

Chu Cichen suddenly looked at her and asked, “If the matters from six years ago can’t be made clear, will you not accept me forever?”

“…” Shen Ruojing fell silent, not knowing how to answer this question.

Seeing her silence, Chu Cichen continued, “I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll never give up.”

At this moment, at the entrance…

Shen Wanxian frowned and looked at the butler. “This is the person you said is from the Bai Family?”

The butler mumbled, “He said that his surname is ‘Bai’.”

Qian Nanyin twitched his lips in disdain. “There are so many people surnamed ‘Bai’ in this world, but not all of them are from the Bai Family of the capital, right?! He is just a small-time actor!”

After speaking, he looked at the area outside the entrance. “Why are you here? Who permitted you to come here?”

Bai Xiaojiu stood at the entrance and rubbed his nose.

His grandfather would arrive punctually during the afternoon. However, Bai Xiaojiu wanted to see if Qian Nanyin had called off the wedding engagement with Yun Wei, so he decided to come earlier.

In the end, after the guard asked him for his surname, the moment he mentioned it was ‘Bai’, the guard immediately rushed into the Yun Manor and shouted the news. Bai Xiaojiu didn’t even have the time to say anything else.

Right now, everyone from the Yun Family was here. Even Yun Zhengyang had rushed over after hearing the butler’s words. At this moment, he just coincidentally arrived, so he walked over and asked, “Where are they?”

The butler said, “…Sir, I think I made a mistake.”

Yun Zhengyang frowned.

When Yun Zhengyang was pondering who the young man at the entrance was, Qian Nanyin suddenly sneered, “He is the boyfriend that Yun Wei found, a small-time actor in the entertainment industry! He must have known that the Bai Family from the capital was coming, so he came to get acquainted with them. He probably wanted to climb up the social ladder by forming a connection with them. How ridiculous. Bai Xiaojiu, you should take a look at your own identity. Do you think any casual randos can meet the Bai Family?”

Bai Xiaojiu looked at the large group of people before him and didn’t know what he should do to resolve the situation.

It seemed that he could only tell the truth and reveal his identity.
