After leaving the hospital, Shen Qingyue received a call from the Old
Residenceâs butler, who informed her that there was a water leak in her room and asked her to return to check if any valuable items were damaged. Recently, she had been living in an apartment for the convenience of taking care of her grandfather, so she had moved most of her belongings there, leaving very little at the Old Residence. However, she suddenly remembered the small box she had kept under her bed for over a decade, which contained her teddy bear.
It was a guardian spirit given to her by a young man with a half-golden mask when she was a child. Although she had divorced Qin Zhen by now, that item was still a cherished possession of hers. Even if its owner had gone astray, the teddy bear was blameless.
Upon her return to the Old Residence, the Xu family was having a meal, but they all gathered in the hall when they heard that Shen Qingyue had returned. Since Shen Da had been detained and hadnât returned home, only the three of them remained in the house.
Seeing Shen Qingyue, their faces turned grim. Xu Fengzhi was the first to question her, âWho let you in? You put your cousin in jail and still have the audacity to come back!â
Shen Qingyue chuckled, âIf my own cousin can dare to harm his uncle, why canât I come in? Besides, Iâll remind you, this is my home!â
Xu Fengzhi shouted, âButler! Throw this ungrateful wretch out! I donât want to see her!â
However, no one moved.
Xu Fengzhi felt as though she had been slapped in the face, her chest heaving with anger. She glared at Shen Qingyue, whose smiling face seemed even more irritating. âYou all wonât listen to me, huh? Tomorrow, Iâll replace every single one of you!â Then, she turned to her two children and ordered, âShen Yiyan, Shen Qingxue, are you both blind? Get Shen Qingyue out of here!â
Shen Yiyan and Shen Qingxue also harbored deep resentment towards Shen Qingyue. Upon their motherâs command, they immediately moved to take action.
The butler and several other servants stepped forward, shielding Shen Qingyue from their advance.
The butler stood straight, âThis old mansion belongs to Old Master Shen and Young Miss Shen Qingxue, not to you. You are just temporarily staying here, so please remember your place.â
Shen Qingxueâs voice sharpened, âWhatâs the meaning of this!? Youâre just a servant. Why do you have the audacity to talk to us like this? Donât forget who pays your salary!â
The butler replied, âOf course, itâs Mr. Shen Jun.â
Shen Qingxue was infuriated by his attitude. âMom, donât wait until tomorrow.
Letâs kick out these freeloaders right now!â
Xu Fengzhi, also consumed by anger, nodded immediately and ordered the butler and other servants, âAll of you, get out now! None of you are allowed to set foot here again!â
Shen Qingyue remained calm and composed, saying, âOn the property deed of this Old Residence, itâs written under my grandfatherâs name. If I were to call the police now and report your unauthorized entry into a private property, it would hold up. Youâve been here for just a few days while my grandfather and I were away, and you think this place belongs to you? Dream on.â
Xu Fengzhi, in a malicious tone, retorted, âThe Old Master did say he would give us this house!â
Shen Qingyue, still appearing unruffled, responded, âYou also said it yourself, my grandfather said such a thing before. Shen Da dared to harm my grandfather, and you still think you can have the house? If it werenât for me being busy recently and not wanting to bother with you, did you really think you could come and go freely here? Well, today Iâm back, and Iâll just clean up the trash.â
Shen Qingyue looked at the steward. âButler, escort them out. The police officers are quite busy, so we wonât trouble them for now. But if anyone refuses to leave, then weâll have to call them. After all, we are law-abiding citizens.â
The butler nodded, âUnderstood, Young Miss Shen.â
Several security guards then surrounded Xu Fengzhiâs family.
Xu Fengzhi, in frustration, said, âI am the mistress here! If you dare to touch me, Iâll have you all fired!â
The butler wore a cold expression and did not bother wasting words. If it werenât for the Old Master being in the hospital lately and not wanting to disturb his rest, he would have expelled these people long ago. âPlease cooperate.â
âYou want to kick us out and expect us to cooperate?â Xu Fengzhi laughed in anger and pushed the butler. âI wonât cooperate. Try laying a finger on me!â
She did not believe Shen Qingyue would dare to call the police. The Shen family wouldnât want to lose face, would they?
The butler quickly regained his balance. Seeing Xu Fengzhiâs lack of cooperation, he had no choice but to use force.
âSo be it.â He signaled to several security guards, and they apprehended Xu Fengzhiâs family and escorted them outside. Soon, the shouts and curses of Xu Fengzhi were cut off as they were thrown out..
