Before he could finish speaking, Shu Qiyi, with a smile in his eyes, waved his hand to interrupt him and turned to look at Wei Bo.

The latter then lifted his leg and left.

A short while later, Uncle Wei returned with a stack of file bags. He took the documents out of the bags and placed them one by one in front of Shu Yi.

"Second Miss, these documents are all about the Shu family. You can look at them now."

“These documents should have been given to you last time, but I didn’t expect you to leave overnight. Among these documents are details about your father and mother, which are recorded very clearly.”

"You can even see in these documents how many relatives will recognize you after you return to the Shu family."

The yellow document folder was large enough to cover the entire coffee table, with one document after another, neatly arranged in front of it.

White background with black text, standard Song typeface.

Under Shu Qiyi's increasingly expectant gaze, Shu Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and pick up the documents from the coffee table.

The reception room fell silent. The two people in front of them were not in a hurry to leave, seemingly waiting for Shu Yi to finish reading.

The elderly man, sitting upright on the sofa, kept a smile on his face, his joyful gaze fixed on his granddaughter.

Time passed second by second.

After reviewing all the documents in her hand, Shu Yi felt her head was heavy and her temples were throbbing.

In Shu Qiyi's question, "Yiyi, have you finished reading? Do you believe Grandpa now?"

She slowly closed her eyes, letting the memories shatter and disintegrate into silent fragments in her mind.

After her mother, Shika, died from postpartum hemorrhage, she was raised by her father.

From swaddled infant to having memories.

In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, Shu Yi was always raised with the care and protection of her father, who emphasized an elite education.

later.

Because of his excessive longing for his mother.

My father eventually died of illness and depression.

Before leaving, at her father's bedside, Shu Yi listened to her father say many things, he said a lot.

But they never mentioned the Shu family.

It's unimaginable that a scene resembling a melodramatic prime-time soap opera would actually unfold before my eyes.

Slowly opening her eyes, Shuyi sighed inwardly, realizing that her parents' love had once been so carefree.

If the information you have is not suspected of being falsified.

The true identity of that father, Shu Yishi, is indeed the second young master of the Shu family, one of the five major families in Jingnan.

And his daughter, who is now facing Shu Qiyi, is none other than Shu's granddaughter.

It turns out that her father grew up in such an environment, no wonder he always educated her in this direction.

"Yi Yi."

A shout brought Shu Yi back to her senses.

Looking up, I noticed that the documents on the coffee table had been moved away at some point, and several plates of exquisitely-looking pastries had been placed on the coffee table at some point as well.

Clutching the information about her parents tightly in her palm, Shu Yi turned her head and silently looked at Shu Qiyi.

"Why are you looking at Grandpa? You must be hungry after the long journey back. Here, have some pastries first."

After saying that, Shu Qiyi picked up the silver chopsticks, picked up a piece of pastry and put it into the carved porcelain bowl in front of her.

"This is called Crystal Delicate Cake. I didn't know what kind of dessert you liked, so I asked the kitchen to make one that your father used to love. Yi Yi, from now on, you can stay here and keep Grandpa company, okay?"

I want to open my mouth and say something.

Seeing the other person's still delighted look, Shu Yi silently swallowed her refusal.

It's clear that Shu Qiyi must be very lonely; in such a large house, it seems that he lives alone.

"Grandpa, I've been troubled by this sudden news for a while now."

After a pause, under his expectant gaze, Shu Yi put the pastry in her mouth. The melt-in-your-mouth texture almost made her swallow her tongue.

After swallowing her food, she said, "I absorbed so much information today, I think I need some time to digest it. Can you give me some time?"

"sure."

Nodding in agreement, Shu Qiyi chuckled a few times.

He turned his head to signal to Uncle Wei beside him, and led his granddaughter to the detached house that had been prepared in advance.

"Yiyi, you'll live here from now on. You don't need to go back to Jiacheng. Lao Wei will take care of everything there. Some of Grandpa's friends will be coming to the house tomorrow, and I'll introduce them to you one by one."

He stood up, politely said goodbye to Shu Qiyi, and followed Wei Bo across the threshold of the hall.

Along the way to the villa, many staff members bowed respectfully to Shu Yi.

"Greetings, Second Miss."

"Hello, Miss Second".

"Uncle Wei, what do we need in advance for the Second Miss's breakfast tomorrow?"

After stopping and exchanging brief greetings with the staff, Uncle Wei continued walking ahead to lead the way for Shu Yi.

"Uncle Wei, are all these people servants?" Shu Yi asked as she walked, her gaze sweeping haphazardly around the large courtyard. "How much longer do we need to walk?"

"Yes, Miss, these are all servants, but we don't call them servants anymore. Their clothes have name tags on them, so you can just call them by their names."

After answering her questions, Wei Bo continued to explain.

"Second Miss, the old master knows you don't like noise, so your villa was arranged on the east side. We'll get there in a little while."

Leaving the hall, we walked along a winding path, through a corridor, and across a quaint little bridge over a stream.

Wei Bo then sent Shu Yi into the East Courtyard.

While she was looking around out of curiosity, Uncle Wei spoke up again: "Second Miss, you should rest well."

"You will need to meet with many people tomorrow, and your clothes will be delivered on time. Everything inside the house is ready. If you need anything else, just contact me via extension."
