47 A Visit From Her Parental Family
“Old Master, Young Master Mu, a visitor has arrived. He said that it’s Young Madam’s maternal family, Madam Bei and Miss Bei,” the servant reported respectfully at the door.
These servants were all new to Liu Ming and only recognized Old Master, Young Master and Young Madam as their masters. Hence, they didn’t acknowledge First Madam when they reported, which made Duan Si very unhappy.
However, she did not have the time to care about this. The moment she heard that it was the Bei Family, the thorns all over her body instantly spread.
“Hurry up and invite them in,” she said sternly to the servant.
“I don’t want to see them.” Bei Shuo’s voice sounded almost at the same time as Duan Si’s.
Upon hearing this, Duan Si’s eyes lit up. Seeing that the servants at the door were not moving, she gave her people a look.
Mu Chen looked at Bei Shuo in surprise. Although he had heard from Old Jiang about Bei Shuo’s relationship with the Bei Family, he was still puzzled by this girl’s decisiveness.
Mu Ci held Bei Shuo’s hand gently. “There’s no need to hide from them. They can come if they want. Let’s hear what they have to say.”
The corners of Bei Shuo’s lips dropped slightly, her unhappiness written all over her face.
Chen Hai had already started work very professionally and was trimming Mu Ci’s hair very carefully.
Mu Ci instructed the servants in a low voice, “Let them in.”
The Bei Family’s mother and daughter were already outside the door when the servant turned around.
“Sister, I miss you so much.” Bei Le wheedled before she could see the people in the room clearly.
Bei Shuo raised her hand and stroked her arm. She felt goosebumps all over her body.
Actually, before Bei Le entered, Eldest Madam who was welcoming them had already found out who was here. Hence, she shouted for others to hear.
Of course, Bei Shuo knew that she wouldn’t miss her. However, she wouldn’t expose her in front of the elders of the Mu Family. She was definitely going to act like a good sister!
You spent so much effort to chase me out of the Bei Family and now you miss me? Are you sick? Bei Shuo found it unbelievable when she saw the fake sadness on Bei Le’s face. Hence, she asked bluntly.
Uh—Bei Le almost tripped.
Chen Hai, who was cutting Mu Ci’s hair, couldn’t help but laugh.
Mu Ci turned around and rolled his eyes at him.
Chen Hai forced himself to tense up again. He lowered his head and whispered into Mu Ci’s ear, “I like this girl.”
“Get lost!” Mu Ci scolded in a low voice.
Chen Hai smiled and continued with his work.
“You’re Madam Bei and the second daughter of the Bei Family, right? Nice to meet you!” Song Nan stood up and extended her hand to the mother and daughter.
Shen Yu heaved a sigh of relief. “Hello, hello! I’m Bei Shuo’s mother. This is her younger sister, Bei Le. She’s young and insensible. It’s inevitable that sisters will have some difficulties when Bei Shuo is at home. Bei Le misses Sister so much the moment she leaves.”
After saying that, she turned to look at Bei Shuo reproachfully. “Child, why are you so petty? Do you still want to hold a grudge against your sister?”
Shen Yu didn’t wait for Bei Shuo to react. She said to Mu Chen, “Hello, Old Master. I’m Bei Shuo’s mother. I came to see if she had caused you any trouble.”
She looked at Duan Si. “This is Eldest Madam Mu, right? I’ve really heard a lot about you. I’m still a member of your Fuyou Charity Foundation, but I haven’t had the chance to get to know you. I didn’t expect us to become in-laws one day.”
With the status of the Bei Family, Shen Yu would never be able to enter the circle of noblewomen where Duan Si was. She was worlds apart from Duan Si. Hence, she was willing to lower herself like this.
Looking at Shen Yu’s humble attitude, Duan Si felt a little better. However, she looked down on the Bei Family even more. It was mainly Bei Shuo. No matter how she looked at Bei Shuo, she was an eyesore.
Mu Chen also sized up the mother and daughter. He gave up his seat and said calmly, “Bei Shuo is very good. We both like her very much.”
Shen Yu looked at Bei Shuo, who was standing beside Mu Ci, in disbelief. She was holding Mu Ci’s hand in public in front of her mother-in-law and grandfather-in-law! She had no sense of propriety!
She wished she could cut their hands apart with her gaze!
Suppressing the anger in her heart, she said to Mu Chen and Duan Si apologetically, “Bei Shuo was kidnapped when she was young. We searched for her for many years before we finally found him. She’s a wild girl who grew up in the countryside. We wanted to keep her by our side for a few years and teach her well so that she wouldn’t embarrass herself in front of others. Unexpectedly, this fate came and we couldn’t stop it. We sent this wild and untamed girl to the Mu Family. I’m really sorry.”
