I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

249 Approachable And Utter Destitution

Shen Wanxian stood up and said, “There’s no need to thank us for hosting you. It’s our fortune that you can come to the Yun Manor!”

After saying that, she picked up her wine glass and walked up to Old Master Bai, smiling as she said, “I didn’t expect to be able to invite you through the Mrs. Bai of the third house. You really don’t have to stand on ceremony with us! Old Master Bai, let me give you a toast.”

She finished the wine in her glass in one go.

After she was done, she smiled at Old Master Bai.

Yun Lu couldn’t help but sigh. “Aunt is really an exceptional woman! It’s no wonder she can get to know Mrs. Bai from the third house of the Bai Family and can invite Old Master Bai here! This is how our Yun Family’s upbringing can be displayed rather than how some petty people behave!”

Wen Yuyi smiled and said humbly, “Miss Shen grew up in Sea City after all, so it’s understandable that her family rules aren’t that strict… Miss Shen, in the future, if there are things you don’t know, I can teach you.”

Almost at the same time as she finished her sentence, she heard Bai Xiaojiu’s perplexed voice. “Madam Wen, our visit to the Yun Manor has nothing to do with my Third Aunt. She has never brought this matter up with Grandfather before!”

Everyone. “?”

Shen Wanxian was stunned too. “Didn’t you guys come because Mrs. Bai extended an invitation on my behalf?”

Bai Xiaojiu shook his head.

Shen Wanxian looked at the two of them, confused. She then heard Bai Xiaojiu say to Yun Zhengyang, “Speaking of which, we have to thank Miss Shen and Miss Yun for extending a helping hand to my grandfather five days ago. We’ve specially made this visit to express our thanks!”

Yun Zhenyang. “!!”

At this instant, everyone’s gaze first landed on Shen Wanxian!

Didn’t she say that she was the one who had invited Old Master Bai here?

Because of this, she had even snatched Madam Yun’s rights over household matters. She had made things difficult for Madam Yun on many occasions with the excuse of having to prepare for the banquet. After all that, it turned out that she wasn’t the one who had invited Old Master Bai over?

Shen Wanxian’s countenance kept alternating between green and white, looking extremely embarrassed.

She was stunned as she looked at Yun Wei and Shen Ruojing.

When Old Master Bai heard this, he also immediately looked over. “That’s right, that’s right. Who is the Miss Shen who saved me back then?”

When Shen Ruojing entered, Yun Zhengyang had finished introducing everyone. Therefore, Old Master Bai didn’t know her yet.

Shen Ruojing raised her brows. Before she said anything, Chu Tianye shouted, “My mommy is here!”

Old Master Bai’s gaze immediately followed Chu Tianye’s finger and landed on Shen Ruojing. After seeing her appearance, Old Master Bai’s pupils contracted and he subconsciously looked toward Jing Zhen.

Yun Zhengyang quickly introduced, “This is Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen’s daughter.”

(Big Boss Jing Zhen’s daughter…)

Old Master Bai immediately stood up and walked over to Shen Ruojing’s side. “Miss Shen, I heard from the family doctor that if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have made it that day. This old man’s life was saved by you! If there’s anything you need the Bai Family’s help with in the future, feel free to tell us.”

After saying that, he drank his tea in place of wine.

The wound on Old Master Bai’s neck had just closed and hadn’t healed yet. Therefore, he couldn’t drink alcohol.

Shen Ruojing understood. She also raised her teacup and drank her tea.

Shen Ruojing was a person of few words, so she sat down after she had drunk the tea.

However, Old Master Bai didn’t leave. Instead, he looked at Chu Tianye. “Little guy, what’s your name?”

Chu Tianye immediately stood up and shouted, “Grandpa, I’m Chu Tianye!”

The child’s voice was bright and loud. He didn’t seem scared at all.

Everyone present had reservations over Old Master Bai’s identity and didn’t dare to speak too freely with him. So, this five-year-old child did better than most people instead.

Old Master Bai sighed in his heart. As expected of the big boss’s grandson!

The genes were so good even though they had passed through two generations!

Old Master Bai grinned and asked, “All my grandchildren think that I’m stern. Aren’t you scared of me?”

Chu Tianye immediately tilted his head, feeling puzzled as he asked, “Why should I be scared of you? Grandpa is clearly so talented* and approachable*!”

He had found out long ago that the Bai Family was one of the four great families in the capital. They were extremely, extremely, extremely rich!

At this moment, in Chu Tianye’s eyes, Old Master Bai wasn’t an old man. He was a walking gold figure!

This was the first time Old Master Bai was complimented for being easy to get along with. He instantly laughed. “Is that true?”

Chu Tianye was especially sincere. “It’s true! In front of you, our family is really in utter destitution*!”

He let out a quiet sigh.

Old Master Bai. “??”

Only Shen Ruojing and Chu Yu understood Chu Tianye’s words. Both of their lips twitched.

Chu Tianye was undeniably a money grubber!

“This child is really interesting!” Although Old Master Bai didn’t really understand what Chu Tianye meant by “utter destitution”, he still praised him and then asked, “Where’s your father?”

Chu Tianye said unconsciously, “I haven’t had a daddy since I was young. My mommy went through great pains, working long hours to bring me up…”

At the mention of this, Chu Tianye suddenly realized that the person in front of him wasn’t his family, so he shouldn’t scam this old man’s money. Therefore, he let out a cough and stopped in his words.

However, Old Master Bai immediately stopped asking.

He returned to the seat of honor, and only then did the lunch banquet officially start.

But everyone else harbored different thoughts.

Shen Wanxian and Wen Yuyi were consecutively given slaps in the face. They looked very dejected, unable to figure out how these people from the Shen Family were so lucky.

One was an actor that turned out to be Old Master Bai’s only idol, and the daughter saved Old Master Bai’s life by chance.

What kind of god-damned luck was this?!

Only Chu Cichen took a long look at Shen Ruojing. His gaze then swept over to Jing Zhen. Although he didn’t understand what had just happened, he was sensitive enough to know that his father-in-law wasn’t a simple character.

Old Master Bai from one of the four influential families didn’t have to treat a doctor who saved his life so politely.

After lunch, Old Master Bai had no intention of leaving immediately. He stayed behind in the living room and chatted with them.

Bai Xiaojiu looked at Yun Wei and hesitated to speak quite a number of times. He finally took the opportunity to follow his grandfather when he headed to the toilet. “Grandfather, what do you think of Miss Yun?”

Old Master Bai thought deeply about it for a moment. “How do you think that person’s relationship with the Yun Family is?”

Bai Xiaojiu immediately understood and smiled. “They get along well! Moreover, Miss Yun and Miss Shen share a strong relationship as sisters. I’ve seen them being defensive of each other many times.”

Old Master Bai nodded and didn’t say anything.

Upstairs.

Not far away, the younger people sat together.

Yun Wei kept trying to look in the direction of the living room, feeling unsettled and dejected. She had been avoiding Bai Xiaojiu during the lunch banquet.

However, Yun Lu and Wen Yuyi walked over.

Wen Yuyi’s gaze when looking at Yun Wei flickered. She then smiled and said, “Little Wei, I didn’t expect that you’d get together with the Bai Family’s young master…”

Yun Lu immediately smiled. “Sis Yuyi, don’t say that. The four great families in the capital won’t have marriages with external parties easily. That Bai Family’s young master is probably just playing with elder sis. Elder Sis, don’t take this seriously. Otherwise, you’ll be the one losing out!”

Wen Yuyi said hypocritically, “You shouldn’t say that either. I think Mr. Bai treats Little Wei very differently…”

Yun Lu said, “No matter how differently he treats her, he still can’t decide on his marriage! Everyone will have to depend on their family background. Do you think that the Bai Family will accept a woman from the Yun Family as their daughter-in-law? What qualifications does the Yun Family have to get into a political marriage with the Bai Family?”

Wen Yunyi fell silent. After a short moment, she then sighed, “Little Wei, although Yun Lu’s words don’t sound good, they are true…”

She looked to the left and right, then lowered her voice. “I heard from my mother that back then, Grandaunt seemed to have gotten involved with someone from one of the four great families in the capital. However, the other party despised her family background, so she ended up not getting married for her life…”

Yun Wei lowered her gaze.

She understood these things too. The Yun Family was the top in the entertainment industry. However, in recent years, the profits from the entertainment industry had been shrinking and the industry had been getting worse.

On the other hand, the Bai Family focused on industrial and physical businesses. Both families’ businesses didn’t have any connections.

Hence, it was true that the Yun Family had no bargaining power for Bai Xiaojiu to marry her…

Thinking about this, Yun Wei pursed her lips and a strong feeling of helplessness rose from the bottom of her heart.

Wen Yuyi finally found consolation once again after looking at Yun Wei’s state.

After all the considerations, Qian Nanyin was still the best!

Even she didn’t dare to harbor thoughts of the Bai Family’s young master, so how was Yun Wei worthy?

Everyone turned around again and saw Bai Xiaojiu and Old Master Bai coming over from the direction of the washroom. Old Master Bai was smiling as he walked up to Yun Zhengyang. “Nephew, I’d like to bring up a matter with you today. It’s about my grandson…”
