Chapter 380 - 380 Illegitimate Daughter!

380 Illegitimate Daughter!

When the butler saw Shen Ruojing, he was a little surprised.

He had gone around with the old master and knew that Shen Ruojing was Qing Dai. During the school competition the other time, he even heard Qing Dai’s performance in person. Back then, he felt very comfortable as if both his body and mind had been nourished.

The old master had asked Yun Yiheng to invite Qing Dai multiple times after that, but Qing Dai always rejected the invitation.

However, to think that she came along with Yun Yiheng this time around without giving any heads-up?

The butler was elated and quickly led the two of them on the way. However, he didn’t head to the old master’s room but invited them to a resting room at the side.

The butler said, “The old master is still sleeping now. It is very difficult for him to fall asleep these days, so we’ll need the two of you to wait for a while.”

It hadn’t been easy for the old master to fall asleep last night. Therefore, the butler didn’t wish to wake him up.

Both Shen Ruojing and Yun Yiheng expressed that they understood.

When Shen Ruojing met Old Master Shen the other time, she noticed that he wasn’t in good condition. Regardless of whether Old Master Shen was her maternal grandfather or not, she still respected him as a person. Hence, she planned on putting some effort into nursing him.

She then said, “I know some medical skills. Other than being able to play the zither for the old master, I can help him to prepare some medicine too.”

The butler didn’t think much of this.

The old master’s condition wasn’t too good, so many doctors had come to offer medicine, wanting to strike it rich.

However, the butler understood that Qing Dai wasn’t such a person.

It was because she could help just by playing the zither. She didn’t have to do anything else.

She must sincerely want to help the old master nurse his body.

Therefore, the butler only said thankfully, “We’ll thank you then!”

However, Shen Ruojing saw some distrust in the butler’s eyes.

They had probably tried various treatment methods but didn’t see much effect and thus had lost confidence in treatment.

She smiled and didn’t say anything.

However, at this moment, an arrogant voice sounded from the door. “Tsk, don’t be trying so hard to get into my granduncle’s good books here. What kind of doctor isn’t our Shen Family able to get? Countless reputable professionals have come to my granduncle. So, you should check yourself out in the mirror. Do you really think that you’re the reincarnation of a divine doctor?”

Both Shen Ruojing and Yun Yiheng were slightly stunned.

They then turned and saw Sheng Chong’s daughter, Shen Jiayi, walking over proudly. Also, a familiar person followed behind her. It was actually Wen Yuyi!

The moment Yun Yiheng saw Wen Yuyi, his brows tightly creased.

Wen Yuyi had schemed against Yun Yiheng at the school competition the other time and hurt his hand. Thereafter, she suffered retribution too and had her face injured by Fatty. She became disfigured.

Right now, the bandage on her face had been taken off. However, no matter how much treatment had been done to it, the scarred part was still very obvious. Therefore, she wore very thick makeup and applied a thick layer of foundation.

She no longer looked gentle, dignified, and calm, like when Yun Yiheng first saw her.

Yun Yiheng frowned and said coldly, “Why have you come?”

Before Wen Yuyi could say anything, Shen Jiayi sneered. “This is my house and I invited her here. What’s wrong with that?”

Shen Jiayi didn’t care for Wen Yuyi.

However, she heard from her granduncle’s butler the other day that Wen Yuyi’s mother, Shen Wanxian, had fallen out with the Yun Family. Moreover, Wen Yuyi was also not on good terms with Yun Yiheng and Shen Ruojing. Therefore, Shen Jiayi invited Wen Yuyi to her house.

She also specifically picked the day on which Yun Yiheng was coming and had checked with Shen Yuansong prior to this. She heard that Wen Yuyi had formed a band when she was in school. Since her granduncle liked to listen to the zither, he could also try listening to the piano or violin for a change.

She didn’t expect her granduncle to agree outright!

Therefore, Shen Jiayi brought Wen Yuyi to disgust Yun Yiheng and Shen Ruojing today!

After Shen Jiayi finished speaking, she looked at Shen Ruojing and Yun Yiheng and smiled. “I heard from Yuyi that both of you want to perform at the Vienna Music Hall. What’s so good about zither performances? I think that piano and violin are higher class. Later on, I’ll tell my granduncle to change his recommendation.”

She then continued, “I’m Granduncle’s most doted grandniece. He’ll definitely listen to me.”

Shen Jiayi was the youngest in the family and had a streak of childishness in her. So, if she liked something, she was bent on getting it.

Also, she liked Chu Cichen.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, Chu Cichen had rejected her countless times. That must be because this vixen, Shen Ruojing, had her grasp on him too tightly!

Since that was the case, she was going to suppress them from multiple aspects and let them admit defeat! She wanted them to concede to her

Since the first time she saw Shen Ruojing, she already didn’t like this woman.

Shen Ruojing was a country bumpkin who had come from an inferior background. Who was she to be more prideful than her?

Therefore, Shen Jiayi wanted to trample on Shen Ruojing!

As for Chu Cichen…

The harder it was for her to get something, the more she’d like it. Shen Jiayi enjoyed the process of getting Chu Cichen to submit to her!

After Shen Jiayi rambled on, Shen Ruojing only smiled.

Before Shen Jiayi could react, Wen Yuyi spoke out, “Shen Ruojing, what are you smiling about?”

The moment Wen Yuyi said this, Shen Jiayi immediately glared at Shen Ruojing.

Shen Ruojing raised her brows. “Did I smile?”

Wen Yuyi stared at her. “You did!”

“Is that so?” Shen Ruojing touched the corner of her lip. “Then I must have smiled.”

Wen Yuyi immediately said, “Then what were you smiling at? Were the words that Miss Shen Jiayi said earlier something you should smile at?”

Shen Ruojing said calmly, “Oh, I just thought that Old Master Shen has an amicable character and is easy to get along with. It seems that Miss Shen’s character is different from his.”

Wen Yuyi said, “Of course, they are different, Miss Shen isn’t the old master’s biological…”

She choked on the rest of her sentence!

...

Shen Jiayi was infuriated too.

What she detested the most was for other people to say that she wasn’t the family head’s biological granddaughter.

Her eyes opened wide and she said angrily, “Although I’m not granduncle’s biological granddaughter, he treats me no differently! My granduncle doesn’t have any children and he treats my father like he would his biological son. He also treats me as he would his biological granddaughter!”

Wen Yuyi anxiously chipped in, “That’s right. Everyone in the capital knows that Miss Shen Jiayi is the grandniece that Old Master Shen dotes on the most!”

Shen Jiayi raised her head proudly.

Seeing that Shen Jiayi would continue to provoke Shen Ruojing and Yun Yiheng, the butler who was standing at the side couldn’t take it anymore. “Miss Jiayi, Miss Shen and Mr. Yun have always been Old Master’s distinguished guests. Please don’t trigger them anymore.”

Shen Jiayi was stumped.

Shen Yuansong didn’t get married, so his butler, who managed the entire family, had a high status in the family.

Shen Jiayi said, “Grandfather Butler, I’ll give you face this once.”

The butler nodded and wanted to say more when someone suddenly entered and whispered in his ear.

The butler frowned as though he didn’t wish for the others in the room to hear this conversation. He then went out with the other person.

...

Shen Jiayi didn’t notice these things.

Anyway, Shen Ruojing and Yun Yiheng weren’t interested in the gossip of someone else’s family.

So, only Wen Yuyi’s gaze flickered.

Ever since Yun Yiheng had won first place in the school competition, things hadn’t been going well for her.

Without the Yun Family’s protection, she and her mother were also despised by her father at home. If she could grab onto the Shen Family, she’d be able to climb to greater heights as compared to the heights that the Yun and Chu Families were standing at.

She must hang onto this opportunity.

She said softly to Shen Jiayi, “Miss Shen, I’ll go to the washroom.”

Shen Jiayi’s lips twitched in contempt. “Go ahead.”

Wen Yuyi then headed out, following the direction the butler had left earlier.

Wen Yuyi then arrived at the corner and overheard the butler reprimanding the other person. “Our old master hates people with bad conduct the most. Things like an illegitimate son or daughter shouldn’t be mentioned to him! He hates such things the most!”

After saying that, the butler turned to leave.

Seeing this, Wen Yuyi was so scared that she darted into the washroom at the side.

Before Wen Yuyi came to Shen Manor, Shen Jiayi kept on asking her about Shen Ruojing’s flaws, wanting to get her to say bad things about Shen Ruojing.

However, Wen Yuyi had always been a shrewd person, so she didn’t dare to say anything.

Now, the old master detested illegitimate children?

What would happen then if he were to know that Shen Ruojing’s mother, Shen Qianhui, was an illegitimate daughter?

He’d definitely turn his anger toward Shen Ruojing and Yun Yiheng, right?

If that were to happen, then the opportunity to be recommended to perform at the Vienna Music Hall could definitely be hers!

Wen Yuyi was overjoyed!

This should be her best chance to perform at the Vienna Music Hall! She must grab it!

Thinking of this, she washed her hands and headed out, returning to the resting room from earlier.

At this moment, a servant happened to walk up to the butler and said softly, “Butler, the old master has woken up.”
