Chapter 107 Is the young mistress of the merchant family already engaged?
"Creak—"
When the two entered, they were caught off guard and saw the man on the ground.
"Miss Pei, over here—"
The maid turned her head and was caught off guard when she saw the man kneeling on the ground. The smile on her face vanished instantly.
Forehead.
She didn't see wrong, did she?
Why is the young master kneeling on the ground?
"..."
Pei Jinwu naturally noticed this as well, her tired eyes slowly widening.
The man was tall and upright with an excellent physique; even in a kneeling position, he was a pleasing sight to behold.
"What are you looking at?"
Feng Zhi, who was guarding the door, caught a glimpse of the scene inside and was quite frightened.
"No, I didn't see anything."
The maid quickly covered her face, pretending nothing had happened, and stumbled away.
They were terrified that if they were even a second late, Shang Shiyan would silence them.
"Is Jinwu back?"
Upon seeing Pei Jinwu, Old Madam Shang immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile, "Good child, come and sit down."
"Get up first." Then, looking at Shang Shiyan, she lowered her voice impatiently, "I'll settle the score with you later."
"..."
Shang Shiyan never expected the little girl to come back at this time, and he could only manage a helpless twitch of his lips.
"You go and greet the guests; I'll take care of things here, Jinwu."
"OK."
Shang Shiyan nodded, knowing what the old lady wanted to know.
I don't trust what he said; I need to ask Wuwu alone.
Before leaving.
Shang Shiyan walked up to Pei Jinwu, handed her the room key, and said softly, "There's still a while before dinner starts. If you're bored, go to my room to rest."
"..."
Pei Jinwu glanced down at it but didn't take it.
“This is my private room in the manor.” Shang Shiyan lowered his eyes to gaze at the girl’s beautiful face, a slight smile playing on his lips. “It’s very clean; no one has ever been inside.”
"oh."
After hearing this, the girl's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and she took the room key.
"..."
Madam Shang's expression was not good.
No one is allowed to enter his room except for the person who cleans it regularly.
Unexpectedly—
He actually agreed to let Jinwu stay.
It seems her grandson is truly interested.
"Put some fresh fruit and desserts in Wen's room, but no ice cream." Before leaving, Shang Shiyan thoughtfully instructed, "Don't set the air conditioner too low."
"...Yes, okay, I understand."
Wen's mother stood there, stunned, nodding repeatedly.
She knows how to take care of children.
The young master was really nervous.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work." After giving his instructions, Shang Shiyan straightened his clothes and strode out.
"sit."
After Shang Shiyan left, Old Madam Shang invited Pei Jinwu to sit down.
"I heard from Shi Yan that you two are living together?" Old Madam Shang asked tentatively, holding her teacup.
"Um."
Pei Jinwu nodded, and the next second, the old lady shook her teacup vigorously.
Did they really do something so beastly?
Although she initially wanted to bring the two together, she was also aware that the girl had not finished her studies.
Thinking that I could strike first, get to know her, and build a relationship, so that she wouldn't be snatched away by someone else.
Who knows—
He acted quite quickly.
The girl is so young; if her parents knew, they would break his legs.
"Then do you have..."
Madam Shang felt her blood pressure rise and forced herself to calm down.
Is there anything?
Seeing the other party's panic, and recalling Shang Shiyan kneeling down.
oh.
It seems the old lady has misunderstood something!
“No, Madam.” Pei Jinwu gently curled her lips and patiently explained, “My brother and Mr. Shang are friends. He is very busy with work, so he asked me to stay at Mr. Shang’s house so that it would be convenient for him to take care of me.”
"Your brother?"
Madam Shang's heart rate dropped, and she looked puzzled.
“My brother’s name is Jiang Jibai.” Pei Jinwu lowered her eyes, speaking politely and respectfully: “He is my blood-related brother.”
"That kid!"
Madam Shang knew Jiang Jibai and had heard that he had a younger sister.
Unexpectedly, it was Jinwu.
“So…” Madam Shang paused, her voice hoarse, “You live together simply for the convenience of taking care of each other, nothing more.”
"No."
Pei Jinwu nodded her little head.
"I see."
The old lady Shang's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and a smile returned to her face.
She said that Shang Shiyan would never do anything outrageous.
You brat, you didn't even explain yourself clearly.
Well...
What a coincidence!
Taking care of her now is a way of building a relationship; we'll see when Jinwu gets a little older...
hey-hey.
Everything fell into place naturally.
——
Find out what's going on.
Seeing that she was tired, Madam Shang immediately told her to go and rest.
Pei Jinwu pushed open the room door, and was greeted by a very refreshing pure white decor.
The furniture and decorations were all spotless white, and a faint, pleasant fragrance wafted in the air.
It smells very familiar, just like the one on Shang Shiyan.
Pei Jinwu stepped inside and looked around.
Sure enough, it was all his stuff.
Pei Jinwu relaxed, casually washed her face, and leaned against the headboard to play on her phone.
Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.
Sound asleep.
She dreamt of the same birthday banquet for Old Madam Shang, where Shang Shiyan was intimately embracing a woman dressed in noble attire. He walked up to her and said, "Wuwu, call her sister-in-law."
When I woke up again.
She felt something sliding across her face; it was cool and itchy.
She opened her eyes and was met with the man's handsome, smiling, and tenderly doting face.
Are you hungry?
Shang Shiyan brushed aside the stray hairs on her forehead and whispered, "I'll take you to eat something delicious."
"..."
Pei Jinwu stared at him, a hint of displeasure lingering between her beautiful brows and eyes.
"What's wrong?" Shang Shiyan's lips curled into a casual smile, his eyes incredibly gentle.
"..."
Pei Jinwu sat up and looked behind him.
Um.
Nobody's here.
It's most likely a dream.
"No." Pei Jinwu pursed her lips, lifted the covers, got out of bed, put on her hat, and went out with Shang Shiyan.
For ordinary birthday banquets, hats are not required.
But this is a merchant...
The top families in the entire North Continent are the subject of countless media outlets waiting to take photos.
She was photographed... It's not good for her.
I have too many enemies; I want to live a couple more years.
Seeing her wearing a hat, Shang Shiyan not only didn't say anything, but also carefully adjusted it for her to ensure that her full face couldn't be captured in the photo.
——
It's Madam Shang's birthday.
All the elite families in the capital city have arrived.
Originally, the Lu and Shen families were not qualified, but they spent some money to get an invitation.
Lu Jing and Shen Yunrou sat at the very end, unable to even see the old lady.
Lu Jing thought that this could be considered as establishing a connection with the merchant, which would make him look cool if word got out.
It would be even better if one could get to know high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
Shen Yunrou has been constantly on the move since she entered, her eyes scanning everywhere like a werewolf, searching for prey.
Hoping to bump into Shang Shiyan at the birthday banquet, a crow flies up to a branch...
Not long after.
A small commotion suddenly arose in the crowd, with someone saying, "The young master of the Shang family brought a girl to the birthday banquet. She's sitting at the main table; she's probably the future young mistress."
"girl?"
Someone chimed in, incredulously, "I thought Young Master Shang liked men... I didn't expect he already has a fiancée."
The young mistress of the merchant has made the order?
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunrou's hand holding the chopsticks trembled violently.
Which socialite's daughter is so lucky?
Does that mean she has no chance?
