After speaking, Butler Cheng greeted several butlers and directly walked outside.

He bypassed two long corridors and saw the people walking in through the gate.

He put the little notebook in his chest pocket, then smiled, stepped forward, and smiled brightly. “Miss Qin.”

Then, he greeted Cheng Wenru and Cheng Juan.

“You came just in time. Let me take you to the courthouse to see the Old Master. He has been talking about you all morning.” Butler Cheng turned sideways and led the way.

Today was a big say, and people from the management level in the Cheng family had come back to celebrate the Old Master’s birthday.

Old Master Cheng dressed at 8 am every day, and was waiting in the main room for all the hall masters and the juniors.

Other than the New Year’s day, the other most lively day in the Cheng family every year was Old Master Cheng’s birthday. The whole Cheng family was full of jubilation.

Butler Cheng led the way while Qin Ran walked beside Cheng Juan, looking at the painted walls along the corridor, embracing the simple and heavy atmosphere.

The Cheng family only opened up the first half of the big courtyard. At the back were just decorations to occasionally entertain guests, not fit for staying.

In 5 minutes, Butler Cheng led them around the corridors one after another to the big courthouse where Old Master Cheng was.

1

The Old Master was wearing a dark blue gown with the word “Bliss.” It was buttoned up vigorously to the neckline, his hair was meticulously combed, and his silver strands were mixed in his black hair. His gully face was evidently old, but his dark brown eyes were still piercing and energetic.

He was sitting on a black sandalwood chair, speaking to the main hall master with a majestic face.

Although he was old, he was still imposing.

He had a fierce momentum, so the First Hall Master carefully considered each word he spoke.

As if he hadn’t heard him, the Old Master held his white porcelain teacup, slowly opening the top, and looking outside from time to time.

Not far away, he distinctly heard voices.

“Old…” The First Hall Master put down his teacup and was about to leave, but the Old Master suddenly stood up and stared at the gates.

His face was still imposing, but his originally sharp gaze had become much gentler.

The First Hall Master was stunned.

He quickly got up and looked at the gate, wondering who on earth made the Old Master’s drastic change in attitude.

He was just thinking of this when Butler Cheng came in and bowed. “Old Master, Eldest Lady, Third Young Master, and Miss Qin are here.”

He turned and let the three of them enter.

“Good.” Old Master laughed, his face evidently joyous. “Sit, quickly.”

The First Hall Master also immediately greeted Cheng Wenru and Cheng Juan.

He didn’t dare to look at anyone else.

**

On the other side, after Butler Cheng left, the other butlers exchanged glances.

“Eldest Master, that Miss Qin…” Someone paused and looked inquiringly at Cheng Raohan.

Why was Butler Cheng so anxious? He even went out personally to receive them?

Picking up his teacup, Cheng Raohan casually said, “My Third Bro randomly met a woman outside. You all know how much my Dad adores my Third Bro and how he lets him do whatever. Today is my Dad’s birthday celebration, and yet he still dares to bring her back.”

1

Hearing this, the other butlers exchanged glances. They had heard some rumors usually but hadn’t paid much attention to these gossips.

It was normal for youngsters to mess around. Only when they were older would they naturally realize what was most suitable for them, and they would then listen obediently to their family’s arrangement.

But now…

Cheng Juan actually brought her back?

A rumor had spread among the Cheng family that this girl couldn’t even study well… how was she worthy…

1

To become the Cheng family’s young mistress, she had to at least be like Cheng Raohan. He had to marry an appropriate match who could hold the atmosphere.

If he married a petty and weak woman with no opinions… Wouldn’t they become the city’s laughing stock?

3

As for Cheng Juan’s “Miss Qin,” no one was clearer than Cheng Raohan. He had a good relationship with Ouyang Wei and had heard from her, so he understood more information and had heard of her poverty alleviation background.

1

This kind of person was never cultivated by the aristocrats, nor received any special training in etiquette like Cheng Wenru, so she couldn’t even hold the atmosphere…

Someone came in from outside.

Uninterested in the woman Cheng Juan brought back, Cheng Raohan just turned sideways slightly, lowered his voice, and asked his subordinates, “Is Mr. Shi Liming here yet?”

1

He had waited from morning till now, knowing that Shi Liming would surely come to celebrate the Old Master’s birthday.

He waited a few hours without seeing him.

“Not yet.” The subordinate lowered his head. “He will arrive soon.”

Cheng Raohan looked away and slightly nodded.

Since Shi Liming wasn’t here yet, he wasn’t anxious. Putting down his teacup, he stood up and turned very relaxedly to the other hall masters. “Shall we go and see the juniors?”

One person stood up and respectfully said, “We’re going to the main courtyard to meet the Third Young Master and the Eldest Lady. Eldest Master, do you want to come with us?”

Cheng Wenru and Cheng Juan weren’t at home very much, so the hall masters only saw them several times a year.

They definitely had to visit them now that they returned.

Furthermore… they wanted to see what kind of person Cheng Juan brought back.

After all, this “Miss Qin” had spread among the family for so long, but they had yet to meet her. Butler Cheng’s attitude just now had also piqued their curiosity. With this opportunity, they were naturally very curious.

1

Seeing them walk out, Cheng Raohan shook his head nonchalantly. “Everyone, go first. I’ll go to the schoolyard.”

The subordinate followed him to the door. “Eldest Master, why don’t we go to the main courtyard to see the Eldest Lady and the Third Young Master?”

“Nothing much to see,” Cheng Raohan lightly said. “Let’s go.”

He crossed the side room and walked to the school grounds behind.

Cheng Raohan was anxious to see Shi Liming and was uninterested in seeing the woman who Cheng Juan brought back from wherever.

2

And the few butlers in the lobby waited for Cheng Raohan to leave before heading to the main courtyard. “The Third Young Master has always acted strangely. I’m curious about what kind of woman he brought back…”

The butlers talked while walking towards the Old Master’s courtyard.

They arrived at the main house within three minutes.

“Old Master, Eldest Lady, Third Young Master.” The butlers bowed at them in greeting.

Then, they straightened their backs and sat near the First Hall Master.

Glancing at the woman sitting beside Cheng Juan, their hands paused on the teacups.

That woman was talking to the Old Master in a calm, soft voice.

Even though the entire lobby was full of seniors of the Cheng family, she didn’t show any sign of stage fright, and her sitting posture was even a little arrogant. Her legs were crossed, her white and slender fingers holding a teacup, like a cold jade.

She half-lowered her head, her eyebrows slightly raised, open and sharp.

Having heard what Cheng Raohan said about the woman Cheng Juan brought back, the butlers had already looked down on her…

But… now that they were sitting across from her, several butlers had a certain degree of improvement in their minds about Miss Qin’s image. Not to mention other things, just her sharp aura that was neither humble nor arrogant in front of Old Master Cheng and the First Hall Master was enough…

There were few prestigious ladies in the whole of Beijing.

She wasn’t the same as Eldest Master’s description…

“Dad, you should greet the guests first. I’ll take Ran Ran to see my wing.” Cheng Wenru drank a sip of tea, afraid that Qin Ran would become impatient from hearing the greetings from the hall masters.

In a good mood, Old Master Cheng waved his hands. “Okay, you two can play with Ran Ran first. By the way, Butler Cheng, prepare a stove for Ran Ran and take out the cloak from my warehouse. Wenru, bring Ran Ran to see the school ground…”

If Cheng Wenru was worried that Qin Ran wasn’t accustomed to it, Old Master Cheng naturally was too.

After all, they all knew that Qin Ran was a researcher, and Cheng Juan had also told them that she didn’t like to participate in too complicated relationships.

He gave a few instructions to Butler Cheng before letting them leave.

In the hall, the butlers raised their eyebrows. It seemed like the Old Master really liked this Miss Qin.

Cheng Wenru took Qin Ran to her wing and explained to her on the way.

“Don’t listen to her.” Cheng Juan took a fox fur cloak from Butler Cheng, then went around from behind, and put it on Qin Ran’s shoulders. He slowly tied the belt with his slender fingers. “How is it possible to have so much history? It has been renovated countless times.”

About to argue, Cheng Wenru suddenly felt her phone vibrate.

She took it out to see a message.

She frowned after reading it, then turned to Cheng Juan. Not regarding Qin Ran as an outsider, she lowered her voice and said in a serious tone, “Third Bro, Eldest Bro has blocked that Shi Liming at the schoolyard. Do you really not plan to meet him?”
