Chapter 250 - 250 Birth Mystery
Yun Zhengyang and Madam Yun exchanged a glance and their hearts sank at the same moment.
(It’s here.)
Actually, when everyone said Bai Xiaojiu was Yun Wei’s boyfriend, the two of them were pretty satisfied after observing him. They might have felt that Bai Xiaojiu’s background was inferior, but his character didn’t seem bad.
But after knowing his true identity, the two of them immediately abolished this thought.
The Bai Family had no need to form a marriage alliance with the Yun Family. The Yun Family’s status was way beneath theirs!
It meant that the Bai Family wouldn’t be able to get any benefits from the Yun family.
Yun Zhengyang wanted to get acquainted with the Bai Family because he wanted to expand his network. He purely wanted some help for work purposes. This was why he didn’t dare to mention anything about Bai Xiaojiu being Yun Wei’s boyfriend. It was because he wanted to avoid any unnecessary misunderstanding.
But now, Old Master Bai had brought it up himself…
Yun Zhengyang immediately spoke, “Uncle, I understand everything, so you don’t have to worry. Little Wei and Mr. Bai are just fooling around. We won’t take it seriously. Please don’t worry about this.”
However, Old Master Bai laughed after hearing this. “What do you mean by not taking it seriously? Don’t tell me that you and your wife look down on my grandson?”
His tone was that of a teasing one and caused Yun Zhengyang to be dumbfounded.
For a time, Madam Yun was also speechless.
The two of them were stunned. Only Matriarch Chu was calm enough to look over and say, “Old Master Bai, what do you mean?”
Old Master Bai first glanced at Matriarch Chu with praise.
As expected of the ex-leader of the Chu Corporation in Sea City, she was indeed different from others. He laughed. “My grandson just told me he is very fond of Miss Yun, so he wants me to help him propose a marriage. I wonder what the Yun Family thinks about this?”
As the sound of his words rang out, the entire living room fell silent.
Shen Wanxian and Wen Yuyi had looks of disbelief on their faces.
How could this be possible?!
Old Master Bai personally proposed a marriage alliance with the Yun Family?!
They exchanged a mutual glance and at this moment, both felt as though their worldviews were going to explode.
That supreme lofty Old Master Bai who gave no regard for the other families was actually personally proposing marriage?!
Shen Wanxian suddenly clenched her fists tightly. At this moment, she felt so much regret that even her intestines were churning!
If she knew how highly the Bai Family regarded the feelings of their grandchildren, she would have long since sent Wen Yuyi to get close to Bai Xiaojiu!
Why was she so determined previously that Bai Xiaojiu wouldn’t care about them?!
Wen Yuyi was also gnashing her teeth.
This was the Bai Family! Why was Yun Wei’s fate so good?!
At this moment, the mother-and-daughter pair wasn’t able to put on fake smiles on their faces even if they were more hypocritical than they currently were. Both had jealous looks on their faces.
In the entire living room, Yun Zhengyang was the first to regain his senses. He immediately said, “T…this is an honor of our Yun Family!”
He naturally could tell that his daughter was also fond of Bai Xiaojiu.
He had originally thought that they were not fated to be together. But now, their love actually had a chance to bloom!
Old Master Bai smiled. “Let’s confirm it then. Once I return, I’ll get Xiaojiu’s mother to come personally to propose the marriage and set a date…It isn’t easy for the two to fall in love since they live in different places. It would be better for them if we confirm the date early.”
The quick response about the marriage caused Yun Zhengyang’s ego to swell so much that he felt a headache.
He didn’t recover until Old Master Bai and Bai Xiaojiu departed.
Even Yun Wei felt like this was a dream. When the two parties agreed on the marriage, she ran away to hide in her room and only came out after Old Master Bai and Bai Xiaojiu left.
This caused Bai Xiaojiu to be filled with reluctance before he left. He had yet to speak with his future wife after obtaining the approval of her parents!
After Old Master Bai left, the servants at home began to clean the living room and banquet hall.
The people from the second and third house originally wanted to take the opportunity to see if they could get some benefits. But in the end, after Bai Xiaojiu and Yun Wei’s marriage was fixed, this further consolidated the first house’s position.
Hence, the people from the second and third house all left in a depressed manner.
At this moment, the people of the first house were all seated on the sofa.
Matriarch Chu and Chu Cichen treated this visit as a holiday, but they were also happy for Yun Wei.
On the other hand, Shen Wanxian and Wen Yuyi looked dispirited. It was very clear when compared to the spirited looks on the faces of everyone else.
Madam Yun’s eyes were currently red. “I didn’t expect our Weiwei to be so lucky. After giving up on Qian Nanyin, I thought that she wouldn’t be able to find a better partner…”
Wen Yuyi felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this.
She couldn’t help but mock, “The Bai Family isn’t an ordinary family. After Little Wei marries into it, she has to be very cautious! If not, they can simply want a divorce and our Yun Family can do nothing about it!”
These words caused Madam Yun’s expression to stiffen and she indeed grew worried. She held Matriarch Chu’s hand and said, “Elder sister, what should we do? Will Little Wei be bullied because her family background is inferior?”
Matriarch Chu “…”
She was also worried about this.
Chu Cichen couldn’t stand seeing the worried look on their faces. So, he lifted his head and said, “Cousin Yun Wei can come and find me if she is bullied.”
The others all turned in unison to look at him.
Chu Cichen then explained, “I’m preparing to shift the Chu Corporation’s headquarters to the capital.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhengyang’s eyes brightened and he wanted to ask something. However, this was the Chu Corporation’s business, so he decided not to be too nosy.
Wen Yuyi then said, “If the Chu Corporation shifts to the capital, you can at most be considered a new ‘noble’ there. How can you be comparable to the Bai Family?”
Chu Cichen’s phoenix eyes coldly looked at her, but he couldn’t be bothered to care about her.
However, Yun Yiheng wasn’t able to tolerate her nonsense. He sneered, “Wen Yuyi, why are you being so jealous? So what if my cousin’s Chu Family can’t be compared to the four influential families? The Chu Family is still much stronger than the Wen family.”
Wen Yuyi raged. “What am I jealous about?”
“Tsk, tsk, I can smell your jealousy all the way from here! After plotting for so long, you merely snatched a man that my elder sister doesn’t want. Are you sure you don’t feel bad?”
Wen Yuyi’s eyes turned red. “Mother!”
Shen Wanxian patted her hand. “Alright, don’t argue with your younger cousin. Let us discuss an important matter instead.”
Everyone felt weird. “What important matter?”
Shen Wanxian sighed and looked at Shen Qianhui. “This has something to do with my younger sister’s birth. Qianhui, don’t you want to know who your biological father is?”
After she said this, everyone looked at her.
Shen Wanxian pursed her lips. “Elder brother, I’m sure you can see that I’m a little hostile to Qianhui. In truth, it isn’t that I want to be so. The reason is because of mother.
“When mother was young, she was hoodwinked by a swindler and thus gave birth to Qianhui. This was why mother decided to send her away and didn’t acknowledge her identity. In addition, mother actually wasn’t fond of her. Before she died, she gave me a letter and said that she would never acknowledge Qianhui.”
After saying that, Shen Wanxian took out a letter from her pocket and passed it to Yun Zhengyang.
He cast a glance and spoke in shock, “This is indeed in my aunt’s handwriting.”
Shen Wanxian continued, “Actually, I’ve been looking for a chance to get Qianhui to move out of mother’s room because of this matter. Mother hated her, so she definitely wouldn’t hope that Qianhui would move into her room. I didn’t say that because she passed away over five years ago, and Qianhui is going to leave in two days. But I didn’t expect things to delay for so long, causing the implications to be deeper and deeper…”
Yun Zhengyang tensed his chin.
Shen Qianhui’s expression suddenly fell after she read the letter.
She lifted her head blankly.
Disappointment and sorrow completely filled her gaze.
As an orphan, she was happy because she had found her roots. This period had been the happiest moment in her life. She stayed in her mother’s room and could sense the beauty her mother left behind.
But all of this abruptly stopped at this moment.
So, her mother hated her?
This was why she didn’t bring her back despite so many years?
Even when her mother was on her deathbed, her mother also didn’t acknowledge her?
Shen Qianhui abruptly stood up with red eyes. At this moment, she felt like she was encased in ice. Since she was young, she had always been sensitive and had low self-esteem. Right now, the helplessness of being abandoned by her parents engulfed her entire body.
Her hand that was holding on to the letter was trembling.
Yun Zhengyang immediately consoled her, “Qianhui, don’t act like this. Regardless of whether Aunt wants to acknowledge you or not, I already treated you like my younger sister!”
Shen Wanxian immediately spoke, “Elder brother, are you intending to defy my mother’s last wish? She gave her entire life to the Yun family! Isn’t your love and care for Qianhui all because of my mother?”
Yun Zhengyang choked.
That was correct. It was his aunt’s effort in building the family that made him want to make things up to Shen Qianhui.
But his aunt hated this daughter of hers?
In that case, should he obey his aunt’s final words or what?
Just when he was troubled by this, Shen Qianhui smiled bitterly. “I shouldn’t have come back…”
After she said this, the letter in her hands was snatched away by Shen Ruojing,
Shen Ruojing glanced at it and suddenly said, “There’s a problem with this letter.”
