Although Xu Jin'en is the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, her mother died early, and her father abandoned her alone on a farm in the countryside, clearly showing that he did not value this daughter.

If it weren't for the matchmaking arranged by Old Master Xu and Grandpa back then, she probably would never have had a chance to be the one to marry him.

"Young Master, Master requests that you take Miss Xu to the study."

Yin Heng snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at Bai Qianmo.

“Jin’en, my grandfather has always wanted to meet you. Don’t be nervous, he is a kind old man.”

“Brother Yin Heng, I haven’t seen Grandpa Yin for a long time either. Besides, Jin En just came back from the countryside and doesn’t know many of the rules and etiquette here. I’m afraid she’ll be nervous when she sees Grandpa Yin later, so it’s better if I accompany her.”

Yin Heng thought for a moment and felt that Xu Jinwei's words made a lot of sense.

From my conversations with Xu Jin'en just now, I feel that this girl is not easy to get close to.

"Let's go together then."

Xu Jinwei happily followed Yin Heng, while Bai Qianmo walked silently behind them.

The three of them went to the study on the second floor together.

Yin Heng stood at the door and knocked.

"grandfather!"

"Come in!" A deep voice came from inside the house.

Yin Heng opened the door and went into the study first.

Xu Jinwei and Bai Qianmo then walked in.

At the desk sat an elderly man with a full head of white hair. He wore a dark blue brocade robe, had a ruddy complexion, and his eyebrows were straight and his eyes were fixed on them intently.

Bai Qianmo quickly glanced at Old Master Xu, whose gaze was also fixed on her, his deep and wise eyes revealing a hint of inquiry.

"Hello, Grandpa Xu!" Xu Jinwei greeted him first.

Grandpa Yin chuckled twice: "Wei'er came along too, hehe, then this little girl must be our En'er?"

Xu Jinwei quickly replied, "Grandpa Yin, this is my fourth sister, Xu Jin'en. She's introverted and doesn't like to talk much to strangers, so please don't mind her."

At first glance, these words seem to be speaking well of the younger sister, but upon closer examination, it's not hard to detect a hint of sarcasm.

Old Master Yin maintained a faint smile on his face: "It's alright, En'er, come here quickly, let Grandpa Yin take a good look at you."

Bai Qianmo looked up at Old Master Yin. Although it was the first time she had met this old man, his gray hair and the shrewdness in his eyes reminded her of her own grandfather.

Thinking of this, I felt a greater sense of closeness.

Bai Qianmo took a few steps forward and stood in front of Elder Yin.

Old Master Yin examined her carefully for a few moments: "You do resemble your mother somewhat. How have you been all these years?"

"Grandpa Lao Yin is concerned. En'er is doing well," Bai Qianmo replied politely.

Old Yin nodded: "Your grandfather passed away suddenly back then. I was fighting on the front lines at the time. I never expected that the last time I saw him would be our final farewell. It wasn't until I returned to the city that I heard you had been sent to a country village."

Old Yin sighed as he recalled the incident.

He originally wanted to bring the girl back, after all, she was the future daughter-in-law of the Yin family, and he and Old Master Xu had personally arranged this marriage. Therefore, if Xu Jin'en was left to wander outside, outsiders would not only laugh at the Xu family, but also at the Yin family.

In an era of warlordism and constant warfare, he had too many enemies, and many things he did could be used against him.

But then I thought, if we bring this girl back to the Yin family, it would be a slap in the face to the Xu family.

Moreover, Madam Xu is a ruthless character who cannot tolerate any flaws. If she keeps a little girl under her care, she will likely be tortured to death before she even reaches adulthood.

After much deliberation, Old Master Yin finally decided that it was best to let the Xu family's brat grow up peacefully in the countryside, and then bring her back when she reached marriageable age.

It wasn't until this year, when his grandson had reached the age to start his own family, that he suddenly remembered he should bring the little girl back.

When the name of Grandpa Xu was mentioned, Bai Qianmo didn't feel much.

After all, she wasn't the real Xu Jin'en, nor had she ever met Old Master Xu, and besides, she herself had a cold personality.

Therefore, you can't tell much from their faces.

Instead, Xu Jinwei started to cry.

“Grandpa Yin, you and my grandfather were sworn brothers. Over the years, others have long forgotten my grandfather, but you still think of him all the time.”

If it weren't for Grandpa Yin's presence, Bai Qianmo would have really wanted to give Xu Jinwei a thumbs up.

These tears come so easily; if she were born in the future, she would definitely be a top-tier actress.

From then on, Xu Jinwei would rush to answer whatever Grandpa Yin asked.

Bai Qianmo didn't stop her. Xu Jinwei wanted to marry into the Yin family, which was a good thing for Xu Jin'en, so she was happy to go along with it.

However, in Yin Heng's eyes, Bai Qianmo's behavior was just dull and lifeless.

Considering Bai Qianmo's cold attitude towards him throughout the journey, Yin Heng's initially agitated feelings gradually calmed down.

Although he felt a slight electric shock when he first saw Xu Jin'en's face, he is not a man who only cares about appearance.

Therefore, he would never marry a woman who has never seen anything like the world and has no substance.

He will inherit the family business and lead troops into battle in the future, and he hopes that his wife will be a wise, calm, and composed woman.

Although Xu Jinwei did not meet the requirements, compared to Xu Jinen, she was at least well-mannered, elegant and generous.

Seeing that Bai Qianmo didn't talk much, Grandpa Yin gradually stopped asking her anything.

“If you young people can get along well, you don’t need to keep this old man company. Yin Heng, why don’t you take your two younger sisters around?”

"Yes, Grandpa."

"Grandpa Yin, then we won't bother you any longer," Xu Jinwei said obediently.

Bai Qianmo remained silent, like a puppet that couldn't speak.

Old Master Yin naturally noticed this and felt somewhat uneasy.

Bai Qianmo took in the emotions of Elder Yin and Yin Heng, and smiled inwardly.

Yin Heng led Xu Jinwei and Bai Qianmo on a stroll around the Yin family garden.

Along the tree-lined path, Bai Qianmo deliberately slowed her pace, keeping a certain distance from Yin Heng and Xu Jinwei.

After leaving the study, Yin Heng's attitude towards her became noticeably colder.

This is exactly what she envisioned.

As the two walked away, no one really noticed that Bai Qianmo had disappeared from sight.

After strolling around the garden for a while, Bai Qianmo got bored and returned home first.

In the living room, the Yin family's servants were very cold when they saw her.

Yin Heng and Xu Jinwei haven't returned yet, so she can only wait for them here.

"Buzz!"

A buzzing sound suddenly came from one of the rooms.

This is the sound of piano keys being vibrated.

After two consecutive beeps, the sound stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a clear meow came from the room.

Hearing the familiar voice, Bai Qianmo got up curiously and went over.
