The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

489 Friendships Can Manifest Anywhere (2)

Now, he suddenly felt that it was not bad to acknowledge that little girl.

In the future, this brat would have to call him father-in-law. What was the use of being good-looking? He still had to please him.

He was scheming in his heart. He did not expect Shen Yijia to reject this suggestion. After all, with the couple’s influence, many people could not get it even if they begged.

“Why?” Madam Qiu was also very surprised.

Shen Yijia scratched her head. “I like Madam very much too, but I don’t want to acknowledge you as my mother.”

She had two mothers. One of them had abandoned her in a mental hospital at some point, and the other belonged to the original host and had died early.

If she suddenly had another mother, she would feel very troubled.

Madam Qiu was stunned for a moment. She thought that Shen Yijia’s feelings for Madam Wang were too deep and that she was unwilling to call anyone else her mother.

Although she was a little regretful about being rejected, she was not angry.

Actually, she had long gotten over whether she had children or not after so long. She did not care as much as Dean Lu had imagined.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had such thoughts when she was old. She only asked because Shen Yijia really suited her taste.

“I’ll come and visit Madam often in the future,” Shen Yijia said carefully.

Seeing her like this, Madam Qiu couldn’t help but laugh. She patted her hand and teased, “I’ve been waiting for you to say this. You can’t stop coming because you find it boring.”

Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief and shook her head vigorously. “No, no. Just don’t find me annoying.”

Although Shen Yijia rejected the proposal, it did not affect Madam Qiu’s liking for her.

After chatting for a while, Song Jingchen returned. The two of them bade farewell.

Xiao Ruoshui had said that she was coming today, so Shen Yijia couldn’t ask her to wait at home again.

When Dean Lu found out that Shen Yijia had refused to acknowledge him as her relative, he was a little dumbfounded. Could it be that his attitude just now had frightened that girl away?

Madam Qiu could tell that he had misunderstood, but she did not explain.

Who asked this person to be jealous? She was already so old, yet he still thought that she was as desirable as she was back then. She should let him reflect on himself.

Shen Yijia returned early, but Xiao Ruoshui was even earlier. As soon as she entered the central room, she met a pair of accusing eyes.

Shen Yijia rubbed her nose guiltily.

Why did she have the illusion that she was a heartless person?

Xiao Ruoshui snorted and walked around Shen Yijia to greet Song Jingchen with a smile. “Brother Chen, long time no see.”

Shen Yijia narrowed her eyes. To hell with feeling guilty.

She opened her hand and stood in front of Song Jingchen. “Hubby, go to the study.”

Leave this little vixen to her!

Song Jingchen nodded in amusement and left without looking back.

“Hey, Brother Chen, don’t go. We haven’t seen each other for so long. We have to catch up.”

Xiao Ruoshui wanted to chase after him, but Shen Yijia grabbed her collar and carried her back. “You promised not to call my husband Brother Chen.”

“Hmph.” Xiao Ruoshui turned her head away and ignored her.

Last time, she could blame herself for not informing Shen Yijia in advance. However, this time, Shen Yijia still went out even though she knew Xiao Ruoshui was visiting. She was furious.

It wasn’t easy for her to come out even once!

Shen Yijia gritted her teeth. “Alright, it’s my fault this time. I’ll go and see you next time.”

Xiao Ruoshui glanced at her. “Really?”

Shen Yijia nodded.

Xiao Ruoshui was happy, but in the blink of an eye, her face fell. “Forget it, you shouldn’t come. My house has been very chaotic recently.”

“What’s wrong?” Shen Yijia asked.

She did not know much about Xiao Ruoshui’s family. Apart from knowing that her father was a general, she heard most about Xiao Ruoshui’s step-sister, Xiao Ruoqian.

Every time Xiao Ruoshui came, she would complain to her. Although she had yet to see who it was, Shen Yijia knew this name by heart.

“It’s all because of my brother.” Xiao Ruoshui scratched her head in frustration. She remembered that Shen Yijia was not a talkative person.

She explained, “My brother has a fiancée who has been engaged to him since he was young. He should have gotten married long ago.”

However, an elder in my future sister-in-law’s family suddenly passed away. She had to observe mourning, so the two families discussed postponing the wedding.

“Wasn’t the mourning period over last month? My parents mean that they can’t let me go out first as a younger sister. They want to discuss with my brother about marrying my future sister-in-law before the end of the year.”

In the end, my brother actually said that he had someone he liked and wanted to break off the engagement.

They had already received half of the engagement gifts. The bride’s family had not done anything wrong. Wasn’t it ridiculous to suddenly say that they wanted to annul the engagement?
