Shu Chuxiao raised his hand to wipe his face, his tone tinged with a hint of annoyance: "After settling Wanwan in, I'll go and have a good talk with your grandmother."
But there was no need to discuss it; he had already foreseen the outcome.
He was simply being pointed at by his own mother, who scolded him for forgetting his mother now that he had a wife, and for taking advantage of his widowed mother's absence.
He can be a master strategist and win battles in other matters, but he really can't be completely cold to his own mother.
Does he really have to harden his heart and send the person away?
If he dares to do this, people in the industry will definitely talk behind his back.
Why!
Shu Lingyi knew his father's predicament, but in order for his younger sister to be more comfortable at home, his father had to have a serious talk with his grandmother.
Once inside the courtyard, you'll find birds singing, flowers blooming, artificial hills and flowing water, winding corridors, pavilions and towers... It's a great place to retire.
“Wanwan, as you’ve seen along the way, Yixinyuan is separated from the front, and there are bodyguards guarding the outside. No one can enter without my order, so you don’t need to worry about Aunt Liu being disturbed.”
Yun Yun led Yu Mowan through the flower forest and said, "This courtyard is under my name. The people under my jurisdiction will only obey my orders. From now on, you will be one of them."
"Mom, thank you."
Yu Mowan sincerely thanked her.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, she had indeed felt maternal love from Yunyun.
This was a feeling Liu Qianmei had never given her before.
"Silly child, if you keep being so polite, I'll get angry."
Yun Yun gently tucked a stray strand of hair that had fallen across her forehead behind her ear and said.
Yu Mowan smiled gently, her eyes crinkling: "I'll be more careful in the future."
Yunyun was finally happy.
The mother and daughter continued walking inside.
"Master, Madam, young masters."
The maid assigned to serve Liu Qiaochu greeted Yun Yun and the others before her gaze fell on Yu Mowan. "This must be the young lady we just met?"
Yun Yun nodded.
“Madam, Miss looks just like you. We don’t even need to do any DNA testing. Just when you walk hand in hand, people think you’re sisters.”
The servant standing in the middle immediately began to praise.
Yunyun beamed with joy, her smile bringing wrinkles to the corners of her eyes.
She loves it when people compliment Yu Mowan on how much she resembles her.
"Where is Aunt Liu? Is she feeling uneasy since she's new here?"
After laughing, she asked about Liu Qiaochu.
"Reporting to Madam, Old Madam Liu has just gone to sleep. She is adapting well to the new environment."
The maid replied, "Would you like to go in and take a look?"
Yunyun turned to look at Yu Mowan.
"I'm not going in. Let Grandma sleep peacefully."
Yu Mo Wan Dao.
The maid nodded.
Yunyun patted Yu Mowan's hand: "Wanwan, come on, Mom will take you to see your room."
Is it here?
Yu Mo asked.
She knew the chances were slim, but she really wanted to live in the same place as her grandmother so that she could take better care of her.
Yun Yun's smile faltered slightly. She turned to look at her and asked instead of answering, "Wanwan wants to stay here?"
"if you can."
Yu Mowan did not hide her thoughts.
Yun Yun was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but she could understand her feelings.
"Wanwan, how about this? I'll have someone prepare a room for you here. You can come and stay for a day or two to keep Aunt Liu company when you're free. What do you think?"
After a moment's thought, Yun Yun made the biggest concession possible.
"For the rest of the time, you can stay in the front, so that Mom can talk to you often."
She said.
Yu Mowan agreed.
Now that they've acknowledged each other as family, she really needs to make time to cultivate a mother-daughter relationship with Yunyun.
Yun Yun's smile returned, and she took Yu Mowan's hand affectionately once again.
The family of eight went to the room that Yu Mowan had kept since she was a child.
All that met her eyes was a sea of pink. Yu Mowan paused as she stepped inside, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
She may be young, but she doesn't need to be so pink.
"Wanwan, what's wrong? Don't you like pink?"
Yunyun noticed her resistance and said, "It's okay, I'll have the designer come over tomorrow to make changes. Just tell them what you like."
Yu Mowan politely declined, saying, "Mom, no need, I'm fine."
She's not picky about where she lives; she just couldn't accept pink at first, but she'll get used to it after a while.
“Wanwan, if you don’t like it, just say so. You don’t need to hide it from your mother.”
Yun Yun looked at Yu Mowan with a serious expression, "I hope that there is honesty between us, mother and daughter."
Yu Mowan's heart stirred.
"Mom, I'm not hiding anything, I really like it."
She answered just as seriously.
She used to prefer a more aloof style because no one treated her like a princess. Now she's willing to try it because it reflects her parents' deep love.
Seeing that the slight resistance in her eyes had disappeared, Yun Yun was delighted. She took her hand and went over to introduce each item in the room.
They are all expensive, and they are filled with the deep love of family members.
Yu Mowan's slender fingers gently traced the ornaments on the dressing table. Just as she was about to speak, a soft female voice drifted in.
"Dad, Mom, brother, sister."
As soon as the words were spoken, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared in unison.
"Xueyin, you're here."
When Yun Yun turned to look at Shu Xueyin, a forced smile returned to her lips. "How is your grandmother?"
"Mom, Grandma is fine, she's already asleep."
After Shu Xueyin answered obediently, she brought a delicate little box to Yu Mowan. "Sister, this is a homecoming gift I specially prepared for you. I was going to give it to you when I was down there, but I didn't expect Grandma to be worried that I would feel wronged... I apologize to you on her behalf. Please don't be really angry with her, okay?"
