Butler Fu gave Zhao Ruoxin a wet towel to wipe her face.
Zhao Ruoxin wept as she continued to say, “We’d like to go back to the Shu Family too, but the Shu Family won’t forgive my mother nor accept me.”
“Back then, Elder Sister could not remain there because Father had already wed a new wife, so she was sent to the Yuan Family by Grandmother. Now imagine how they would acknowledge me, a child who had never even grown up in the Shu Family…”
Everyone was lost for words looking at Zhao Ruoxin in such a pitiful state.
They would seem inhumane to continue to object.
At this moment, Yuan Zhe suddenly popped a question, “Didn’t Uncle Shu Heng marry the daughter of the Lim Family’s Eldest Son?”
Old Mistress Yuan nodded. “He did. The Shu Family is currently in a poor state. Even though Yuan Xuan has provided them financial aid a couple of times, it’s not a permanent solution. The Lim Family are their in-laws, but as the Lim Family has been growing stronger these past few years, Uncle Shu Heng doesn’t dare do anything to offend them.”
“Then, in my opinion, it’s reasonable for Miss Zhao to stay here. After all, this was Grandmother Shu’s request.”
Yuan Zhe, who had not yet shown his stance, suddenly left his parents side to agree with Grandmother!
Yuan Xuan watched his brother, Yuan Zhe, do this and a coy smile appeared on his face.
Wen Ya’s complexion changed as she trembled and tugged at Yuan Zhe’s sleeve. Yuan Zhe was slightly enraged, and he swiftly flicked her hand away.
When Mu Chenyan heard this, she gave Zhao Ruoxin a sympathetic look.
The past aside, this woman was now homeless like her, which was why she was willing to lower herself to seek shelter with the powerhouse that was the Yuan Family.
However, the difference between them was that Yuan Zhe and Yuan Xuan would care for Miss Ruoxin more.
After all, Qinger had grown up with them for so many years, and Qinger’s death would mean that Zhao Ruoxin would be the new recipient of all their affection.
When Grandmother saw that she had gained another supporter and was comforted. She continued to say,
“Tian Tian suggested to let Ruoxin live in another property outside, but what will I do if those villains sneak into Luo Hai and hurt Ruoxin?
“Shu Qinger had already met with a tragic accident, if any misfortune falls upon Ruoxin, how will I face Grandmother Shu when I die?”
Old Mistress’ words caused everyone to fall silent.
Yuan Tian did not speak anymore. She sneaked a peek at Mu Chenyan and used her mouth to mouth out a sentence — why don’t you say something?
Mu Chenyan smiled faintly and shook her head.
Yuan Tian was still too naive. Right now, what reason did she have to show her stance?
Who knows how Grandmother will react? Perhaps she herself will get kicked out of the house…
With that, nobody had any more objections, and the matter was settled.
Mu Chenyan did not expect that after going in one big circle, she and the people of the Shu Family would still end up under one roof!
Back when she was just ten years old, she had followed her parents back to Luo Hai, and the blur and clueless young girl had fallen headfirst into Yuan Xuan’s impenetrable net, completely unable to free herself!
It was in that year that Shu Qinger had left the Yuan Family to go study abroad.
After this, she did not make any contact with the Yuan Family.
Although Mu Chenyan was aware that Shu Qinger had once won the Yuan Family’s respect, she did not know about Shu Qinger’s position and influence in the Yuan Family.
While overseas, Shu Qinger would always travel from Italy to England to visit Yuan Xuan.
She even came looking for Mu Chenyan to show herself after the latter had confessed her love to Yuan Xuan.
It was obvious that this childhood sweetheart was not a simple woman!
However, now that Mu Chenyan thought about it, Yuan Xuan himself never seemed to show his attitude toward Shu Qinger in front of her.
At the time, she was stubbornly in love, confident and crazy, whilst constantly embracing the viewpoint of ‘me liking you is my business’. Hence, whilst pursuing Yuan Xuan, Mu Chenyan was truly a rash fellow.
She did not regret her decision back then, but she would no longer be so naive in the future.
