Chapter 362 - 362 My Granddaughter!
362 My Granddaughter!
The second aunt had just arrived in the capital today and wasn’t clear about the situation.
After hearing the butler’s voice, she immediately stared at the entrance. After that, she realized something was off. Hence, she began to ask, “The Bai Family of the four great families?”
That shouldn’t be the case.
After all, the Chu Family had just arrived in the capital.
Matriarch Bai was the mother of the Bai Family. On the other hand, the Chu Family of today didn’t have a high enough status to get Matriarch Bai to personally pay them a visit, right?
As she pondered, the butler looked at her and lifted his chin slightly before speaking with glory, “Other than THE Bai Family, how would there be any other people surnamed ‘Bai’ in the capital dare to proclaim themselves as ‘Matriarch Bai’…?”
The second aunt was dumbstruck. She subconsciously stood up and rubbed her hands nervously. After that, she looked at Matriarch Chu. “Eldest sis-in-law, since she is here, why are you still sitting down? Let’s head out quickly to welcome her!”
Matriarch Chu coldly laughed. “Why should we?”
The other party was an old woman who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong. She had even ended up trying to snatch her granddaughter, Chu Xiaoqi’s slot and even caused her daughter-in-law, Bai Shanshan, to suffer frostbite! Even if Chu Cimo didn’t tell her that Matriarch Bai was Bai Shanshan’s grandmother, just based on these two matters, Matriarch Chu wouldn’t go to welcome Matriarch Bai even if the latter personally came to pay a visit!
The second aunt grew anxious. “Sis-in-law, what are you talking about? This is the capital and not Sea City!”
The second aunt was filled with regrets because she didn’t trust Chu Cichen back then and had sold all her shares. This time, she was determined to forge a connection with the Chu Family no matter what.
Hence, she was very concerned about the Chu Family’s matters.
She then walked to Matriarch Chu’s side and tugged at her arm, pulling her up. Outside the door, Matriarch Bai was already supported by a few servants from the Bai Family as she entered.
The moment she entered, Matriarch Bai’s strict gaze began to survey the Chu Family.
She felt heartache for her granddaughter and was afraid that her granddaughter was married to a nouveau riche.
However, after she discovered that the Chu Manor was pretty impressive and the garden outside the manor was large enough, Matriarch Bai felt some satisfaction.
When the second aunt saw Matriarch Bai, she could immediately be certain that this old woman was from one of the four great families in the capital.
Just her imposing demeanor alone surpassed that of Matriarch Chu’s. No one from an ordinary family could achieve such a feat.
The second aunt immediately walked over and spoke amicably, “Old Madam, you have come!”
Right now, Matriarch Bai was earnest and wanted to please her granddaughter. This was why she was much more polite to the people from the Chu Family. Hence, she smiled and asked, “You are?”
“Oh, I’m from the Chu Family’s second house, Chu Cichen’s second aunt,” the second aunt introduced herself and continued after pointing to Matriarch Chu, “She is my eldest sister-in-law, the current Matriarch of the Chu Family.”
She intentionally didn’t introduce Shen Ruojing and Bai Shanshan.
The second aunt felt that their backgrounds were too low, and it would be embarrassing if she were to introduce them. In fact, she even felt that just by being here, the two of them were already an embarrassment.
Matriarch Chu already stood up after Matriarch Bai entered.
She was nurtured well, so she wouldn’t do anything that was too overbearing toward an old woman.
However, Bai Shanshan still sat on the sofa with her head lowered, looking like a common peasant.
Even Shen Ruojing was also seated after she came from upstairs. She didn’t bother to greet Matriarch Bai and directly walked toward Bai Shanshan instead.
Matriarch Chu sighed and politely spoke to Matriarch Bai, “Hello, welcome to my humble abode. Please take a seat.”
She then got the butler to serve tea.
The second aunt went to Shen Ruojing and Bai Shanshan before prodding them and whispering, “What the hell are the two of you doing? Don’t you know how to say a greeting? You both have no basic courtesy, are you not afraid of offending a VIP?”
Shen Ruojing ignored her.
The second aunt had long since heard about Shen Ruojing’s infamous reputation back in Sea City, so she didn’t dare to scold Shen Ruojing. She then looked toward Bai Shanshan. “Bai Shanshan, you and Cimo aren’t married yet, right? If you keep acting like this, our Chu Family might no longer want you!”
Shen Ruojing slowly lifted her eyelids and said, “You have no qualifications to decide the matters of the Chu Family.”
The second aunt immediately replied, “Why can’t I? I’m Chu Cimo’s second aunt! What about her? She doesn’t have any siblings and only has a poor mother. Who else can decide for her?!”
She reprimanded them in a very low voice as she didn’t dare to let Matriarch Bai hear her.
However, after Matriarch Bai saw Bai Shanshan’s expression, she cautiously walked over after some hesitation. As she moved closer, she paid attention to Bai Shanshan’s expression.
It was as though as long as Bai Shanshan was unhappy, she wouldn’t dare to move closer.
And when their distance was finally closer, the second aunt finally sensed Matriarch Bai and immediately closed her mouth. She stood up with a laugh. “Old Madam, please sit, please sit.”
Old Matriarch Bai looked at Bai Shanshan and asked, “Can I sit here?”
Bai Shanshan. “…”
She silently sighed and nodded.
The second aunt didn’t understand and immediately said, “Naturally, you can.”
After saying that, she turned her head and glared at Shen Ruojing and Bai Shanshan before she fawningly continued, “Matriarch Bai, the two young daughters-in-law of our Chu Family came from villages and don’t know the rules. Please ignore them and don’t lower yourself to their levels. I’ll get my sister-in-law to teach them a lesson…”
After she said this, Matriarch Bai’s face immediately darkened. “Who do you want to teach a lesson to?”
The second aunt was stunned. After that, she saw Matriarch Bai directly bypass her and hold Bai Shanshan’s hands. After that, she looked at the second aunt in anger. “I want to see who dares to teach my granddaughter a lesson?!”
