"Big brother has been rather busy lately. I believe he will be here soon, don't worry!" Big brother hasn't forgotten about you. "
When Nan Xia'er gave her a Legacy to Yu Jing, she immediately let out a sigh of relief.
At the very least, right now, she could not meet with the Southern Owl.
After all, she was currently acting like a human or a ghost. What if she gave the Southern Owl a bad impression?
After Nan Xia left, a nurse who specifically served Yu Jingjing walked in.
Yu Jingjing gestured for her to open the second drawer of the bedside cabinet. The nurse was a little doubtful, but she obediently followed her instructions.
He took out a bag and opened it. Inside were some jewelry.
She had been thrown out that day and had secretly put a portion of it on her body.
Yu Jingjing looked at the nurse's earholes and found that she had only hit one. "Sis, why did you only hit one?"
The nurse touched her earlobes and said, "I've been afraid of pain since I was young. At that time, I was afraid of being the first one to do it, so that's why."
Yu Jingjing pursed her lips in contempt. It was just an ear-hole, she was afraid of looking so ghastly.
However, she hid it deep in her heart and did not reveal it.
She picked some valuable emerald earrings out of the bag and put them into the nurse's hands with a smile.
The nurse was panicking, but her eyes remained fixed on the jewelry. "Miss Yu, what are you doing?"
Yu Jing did not dare to speak of her plans. She had yet to find out whether or not the nurse was sent by Nan Xia to monitor her, so she had to be extremely careful with every step she took.
"Girl, you look better with two holes in your ears. I can see that your ears are very pretty. You must be worthy of these earrings, so I'll give them to you."
The nurse didn't dare to accept. She hesitated.
Yu Jingjing patted her hand and said, "It's useless for me to have these now. Just accept them!"
When the nurse heard this, she immediately accepted it happily. Her greed for money was written all over her face.
Yu Jing smiled knowingly. As long as she gave her a few more bracelets, she would be able to use them in the future.
Yu Jingjing once again asked the nurse about Nanxiao, and the nurse told her everything.
Yu Jing asked carefully, "Jingjing, do you know the Southern Owl's hobbies?"
The nurse's hand paused for a moment before returning to normal, "How is that possible!? I'm just an ordinary nurse, and I haven't even met Mr. Owl. "
The nurse continued, "Owner's status is honorable. Jingjing will follow Owner Xiao, but she'll have to eat and drink. Don't forget me."
Yu Jingjing became more and more certain that there was nothing special about this nurse. She half-heartedly waved her hand. "Definitely."
"..."
"Grandmother, I'm here!"
When the madame heard the voice, she smiled helplessly. Shen Xi Yao lifted her skirt and ran over to the madame, "Grandma, is my dress good?"
Saying that, she turned around narcissistically while the old mistress raised her eyebrows, "Little girl, I heard you crying before I even entered the door. You're ugly!"
The madame made a face on purpose.
Shen Xi Yao's face fell, "Grandma ~"
She stomped her feet and said coquettishly, causing the madame to laugh uncontrollably.
Feng Mo Chen adjusted his collar, in his hand was a gift box. When his sister-in-law saw him, she was a little surprised, "Old Madam, Young Master Feng is here."
Feng Mo Chen used to come here together with Shen Mo Ke and Cheng Junxi, but today he came in advance. It was no wonder that Aunt Hua was surprised.
"Grandma, this is a present Xi Yao and I gave you." Feng Mo Chen respectfully said.
Just as she was about to accept it, the madame's body trembled, and her gaze landed on Shen Xi Yao and Feng Mo Chen.
Shen Xi Yao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the Countess. She took the Old Madam's hand and said, "Grandma, my face isn't flecked again."
The madame was very shrewd. Feng Mo Chen was Shen Mo Ke's good brother, and he had always called her 'Granny'. This was not surprising.
Although Shen Xi Yao had entered the house, it was not hard to tell that they had come in the same car.
The old mistress received it without batting an eyelid and looked at Shen Xi Yao, "Little Yao, Little Nian is learning to cook in the kitchen. You should take a look as well."
Shen Xi Yao stood up in surprise, "Little Xiang is here too?"
She hadn't forgotten about the smell of the food she cooked when they first met.
Afterwards, Yu Anxin had gotten together with Big Bro, so Big Bro had forbidden her from doing all this. It had even made Shen Xi Yao a little greedy.
Shen Xi Yao did not sense anything amiss and excitedly went to find Yu An Nian.
Once Shen Xi Yao had left, the madame's expression turned grim.
"Mo Chen, you moved pretty fast? "He even dared to hide it from me." The madame looked at him sharply.
Feng Mo Chen looked into her eyes without fear, "Grandma, Mo Chen relied on his charm to conquer her."
The madame chuckled, "Little Yao is very thin-skinned. I purposely let her go, but that really makes me curious. Little Yao likes An Sheng so much, why would she choose you?"
Shen Xi Yao had never had any friends since she was young. She did not like it when people faked her identity. This had also led to Shen Xi Yao being a loner.
It was only when she met him later that she realized her relationship with him had turned out to be very good. The madame had been very willing to meet him, but no one had expected her to do so.
She would be good enough to like him.
This was also one of the indirect reasons. Ever since that incident had happened on the night of Shen Mo Ke's adulthood, the way Shen Xi Yao looked at An Sheng began to change.
To everyone's surprise, they were secretly on good terms with each other.
In the blink of an eye, An Sheng had also been gone for so many years. Shen Xi Yao had never been able to get out of that shadow, let alone falling in love with someone else.
Feng Mo Chen thought about what happened that year and was silent for a moment, "It's unknown whether or not An Sheng is dead. Shen Xi Yao must have accumulated enough disappointment waiting for her for so many years. However, I think Grandmother should be happy to see Xi Yao's current appearance."
In the eyes of the madame, homosexuality was a disgrace to the family.
Shen Xi Yao was the precious daughter of the Shen family. How could the madame allow the relationship between Shen Xi Yao and An Sheng to develop?
Lily, there is no good result.
The old mistress could not accept this!
The madame coughed lightly, "Mo Chen, I watched you grow up as well. I'll leave Xi Yao to you. I don't need to worry."
Feng Mo Chen already knew this would happen, but he was very suspicious of one thing, "Grandma, do you agree to Yu An Nian's decision? Does it have something to do with her face?"
"Xi Yao likes An Sheng. She even has some strange thoughts about Yu An Nian, but she is afraid of her brother. When Yu An Nian is with Shen Mo Ke, she can be warned to stop those useless thoughts of hers."
This could also be considered as a form of camouflage to suppress her sexual orientation.
"However …" The madame paused and put down the teacup in her hand. "You have to be mentally prepared in case An Sheng comes back one day."
There were hidden meanings in the madame's words. The madame was sure that An Sheng was not dead! This meant that An Sheng's departure was related to the madame.
Feng Mo Chen was shocked, but he remained calm on the surface.
The Shen family had always been strict with their teachings, so two embarrassing things happened all of a sudden. One was thrown out of the country, and they didn't care about it, and the other one was someone who had lost her liking.
