The Young Matriarch

Duan Xingye seemed to have seen a ghost and he started yelling, immediately. “Aunt Tong, what are you talking about? The one who treated grandfather was Weiwei! This Mr Liu, whom you invited, nearly killed grandfather the moment he inserted the needle! If not for Weiwei’s timely help, you won’t have seen grandfather lying here alive!”

Tong Yunrou’s smile stiffened and her eyes suddenly widened. “What did you say? Who saved your grandfather?”

Weiwei?

Who was she? She had never heard of someone with that name!

Duan Xingye replied with pride in his voice. “The miracle doctor that my fourth uncle and I invited from Yunwu Mountain. Her medical skills are much superior to Mr Liu.”

Just as Duan Xingye said that, he unconsciously looked towards Duan Xiuqi. When he saw his third uncle’s chilly expression, he cried out internally. “Sh*t! So much for my blabbermouth.”

The relationship between his third and fourth uncle had always been bad, and his third uncle did not even wish to hear Duan Feihan’s name.

But he also understood the reason behind it. If the four-year-old Duan Feihan had not secretly escaped with that girl twenty years ago, his third uncle would have already married her instead of waiting for this long a period.

Ever since that incident, Duan Xiuqi had not acknowledged Duan Feihan’s presence.

Duan Xingye smiled dryly and repeatedly slapped his mouth.

Liu Zhen’s aged face turned red in embarrassment and his white beard trembled. He said awkwardly, “This senior shall not… argue with children. I-I’ll make a move first.”

Without waiting for a reply, Liu Zhen carried his belongings and scrambled out, without the arrogance which he first arrived with.

When he recalled that he had chided the girl as a little brat ignorant of medical skills, his face felt scorching hot.

He could only continuously comfort himself with the explanation that she might have only learned acupuncture, but was clueless about other aspects.

Bai Chuwei entered the villa and was changing her shoes when a silhouette ran towards her.

Bai Yinyin glared at her and questioned her in anger. “I saw you getting down from a Rolls Royce on the balcony. Whose car is that?”

Bai Chuwei entered the house in slippers and replied with indifference. “I believe it’s none of your business. Even your grandfather would not dare to speak to me in that tone.”

Bai Yinyin’s anger shot through the roof. “That’s because my grandfather has been tricked by you. I originally thought you would be simpleminded since you came from the countryside, but who would expect you to have seduced a rich guy so fast? You’re too… ah—!”

“Mouse! A fat mouse!!”

Bai Yinyin felt something touching her foot. She looked down and saw a fat white-haired hamster lying on her feet. Instantly, she was scared sh*tless and started screaming.

Snowball grinned and chased Bai Yinyin all around the hallway.

Bai Chuwei felt her eyelids twitch and reluctantly bent down to pick up Snowball by its tail before heading up to the third floor.

Bai Yinyin, who had climbed on the table from fright, roared at her. “Don’t think just because you helped me, I would…”

Just then Bai Guofu’s furious voice sounded from far. “Bai Yinyin! Our ancestor is currently staying in our house. Do you have any manners? You’re embarrassing the Bai Family! Who taught you to climb up the dining table? You had better get down right now!”

“You can also forget about dinner tonight!”

Bai Chuwei was uninterested in the farce that transpired downstairs. She shelved Snowball somewhere on the table and patted the fat hamster’s cheeks. “Are you done with the calculations of my assets here?”

Snowball immediately squeaked. “Ancestor, your assets accumulated through these five thousand years have exceeded those of the richest man in the world by several folds. However, I found out something while I was checking the ledgers. The Tong Family owes you ten years worth of debt.”

Bai Chuwei quirked her brows with interest.

There was actually someone who dared to owe her money?
