Chapter 537 - 537 Meeting (1)

537 Meeting (1)

At the Song family residence.

After dinner, the family gathered in the courtyard to cool down. This was one of the few times the entire family could gather together.

As long as they were at home, Song Jingchen would take the time to check the homework of the three students.

Female studies were different from male studies. Apart from learning music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, needlework and needlework were also indispensable.

The only things Sister Huan could show off were the first few things. Among them, she was the best at chess. As for needlework, it was completely up to Lin Miaomiao to help her cheat.

Looking at Brother Hao and Lin Miaomiao, who had been defeated by Sister Huan, Shen Yijia rubbed her chin. She seriously suspected that she had deliberately done badly back then. Protecting Lin Miaomiao was one of the reasons, but she was more afraid that this was her goal.

Knock, knock, knock!

There was a knock on the door. Shen Yijia looked up and saw that Mo Yuan had gone to open the door.

Soon, Mo Yuan led the two of them in.

Seeing the person, Shen Yijia was stunned. “Sister Yuwan, why are you here so late?”

Yuan Yuwan bowed and greeted Madam Li. She said apologetically, “It’s so late. Sorry to disturb you.”

Madam Li also knew about Yuan Yuwan. The last time Shen Yijia returned from the palace banquet, she had said a lot of good things about this girl. She smiled and said, “What do you mean by not disturbing her? It’s all thanks to you taking care of our Jiajia at the palace banquet last time.”

Guessing that Yuan Yuwan must be looking for Jiajia for something, Madam Li suggested, “Don’t stand there. Jiajia, bring Miss Yuan to the central room to talk.”

“Okay.” Shen Yijia went forward and held Yuan Yuwan’s hand. “Sister Yuwan, follow me.”

Yuan Yuwan nodded.

The two of them sat down in the central room. Mo Yuan brought in two ice bowls and a few plates of snacks.

Shen Yijia pushed the ice bowl over. “Sister Yuwan, try it. My mother made these. They’re delicious.”

Yuan Yuwan smiled and took a sip. She praised, “Auntie’s culinary skills are really good.”

“Right? If you like it, eat more. Mo Yuan, bring in two more bowls.” Seeing that she agreed with her, Shen Yijia felt proud. She picked up her bowl and ate happily.

Song Jingchen usually didn’t allow her to eat too much, so she could eat her fill today!

Mo Yuan said expressionlessly, “When I came in just now, I met Young Master. He specifically said that Miss Yuan can eat it, but you can’t.”

“At most, you can eat one more bowl,” she added faintly.

Although Mo Yuan was Shen Yijia’s subordinate, as long as it was for Shen Yijia’s own good, she listened to Song Jingchen.

Shen Yijia choked and glanced at Mo Yuan resentfully. Could she save her some face?

The atmosphere in the Song family made Yuan Yuwan’s heart relax a little. She put down her bowl and pursed her lips. “Jiajia, actually, I came here today to ask you something.”

Shen Yijia blinked and asked Mo Yuan to leave first.

“Are you going to ask about the Xiao family?” Shen Yijia asked.

Yuan Yuwan paused for a moment and nodded with a bitter smile. “Ruoshui has always been a person who can’t hide anything. I think she’ll definitely tell you what she can’t tell me.”

“Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Yuan Yuwan shook her head. Noticing the worry on Shen Yijia’s face, she smiled and said, “I’m not as weak as you think.”

As if afraid that Shen Yijia would not believe her, she lowered her eyes. “Since I was young, I knew that I had lost my biological mother and that my biological father was unreliable. If I want to live well, I have to study hard and surpa.s.s all the brothers and sisters in the family.”

“Because that’s the only way to catch my grandfather’s eye and obtain his protection.”

Shen Yijia did not understand.

Yuan Yuwan said self-deprecatingly, “Don’t you think I’ve been more cautious than others since I was young?”

At an ignorant age, she already knew how to a.n.a.lyze the situation that was most beneficial to her and plan.

Sometimes, she felt that she was a little scary like this.

Shen Yijia shook her head. “You just want to live well.”

She didn’t harm anyone.

Yuan Yuwan was stunned. She smiled and said, “So, you really don’t have to worry about me.”

Seeing that she did not seem to be faking it, Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief. “What do you want to know?”

Since she already knew, there was no need to continue hiding it. Besides, she already felt that it was unfair to her to hide this from Yuan Yuwan.

“Can you tell me about them?”

They were naturally referring to Xiao Qirui and Feng Manman.

Fifteen minutes later, Shen Yijia greeted Song Jingchen and left with Yuan Yuwan.

“You don’t have to go with me,” Yuan Yuwan said helplessly.

Shen Yijia pursed her lips and shook her head. “I’m worried about you going alone.”
