After Being Betrayed, I Married a Tycoon in a Flash Chapter 1019: The Old Lady’s Unfathomable Depths
In the attic of the courtyard in the Old Mansion, the Old Lady and Bai Yueru stood side by side, gazing afar at the group of young talents gathering happily on the lawn. A sense of lancholy inevitably filled their hearts.
The Yangtze River pushes the waves forward. Faced with the future ruled by the young, even if they were unwilling, there was nothing they could do.
"Being young is wonderful," the Old Lady sighed. "Back when I was Ye Shu’s age, it was when I had just married into the Sheng Family. Now looking at Ye Shu’s fearless deanor, she does remind of my younger self."
Bai Yueru said, "Mom, how can she compare to you? Back then, you single-handedly shouldered the responsibility of the Sheng Family when Father-in-law was completely uninterested in managing affairs. It’s different now, our Ah Chen has extraordinary skills. With him around, the obstacles Ye Shu faces will be considerably fewer."
"Hmph, Yueru, I know you have so discontent towards Ye Shu now, but speaking objectively, her abilities are far beyond your reach, so don’t be disgruntled. So rituals must still be held; it’s like we are asking her for a favor now."
"Mom, are you saying that now—" Bai Yueru felt sowhat taken aback.
"What? Are you thinking of continuing to hold onto the Old Mansion Master’s position and ss around?" The Old Lady glared at Bai Yueru, displeased.
"No, Mom, since you’ve decided, I’ll listen to you. I’ll go prepare now."
"Okay, go ahead." The Old Lady watched Bai Yueru turn and walk down the attic, looking thoughtful. At this mont, a pigeon flapped its wings and ca to her.
The Old Lady naturally took the pigeon in her hand, carefully retrieving a small note from the bamboo tube attached to the pigeon’s foot. After reading it, she turned back into the room and took out a pen, wrote a few words, stuffed it back into the bamboo tube, and tossed the pigeon out the window.
After flapping a few tis, the pigeon joyfully jumped onto the rooftop and disappeared into the vast night.
In an era of rapidly advancing technology, who would have thought there are still people using such primitive thods for communication?
Thus, the Old Lady’s plan proceeded in complete secrecy.
On the lawn, in a fit of happiness, Sun Nanjue drank a bit too much and suddenly slamd the table, pointing at Sheng Shaochen, "Ah Chen, do your past words still hold? Speak up!"
Although Ou Linlin was also flushed, she was suddenly frightened when she saw her husband daring to slam the table and questioning Demon King Sheng. She broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly pulled back Sun Nanjue’s hand, and whispered, "Are you crazy, looking for trouble without reason? Do you even see who you’re dealing with..."
"Shoo, shoo, shoo, we’re having a n’s chat. Won, go aside!" Sun Nanjue pushed Ou Linlin next to Ye Shu and said, "Little Shushu, this woman is yours now. From now on, she’s at your disposal."
Ye Shu laughed, "Alright, Sun Nanjue, just don’t regret it later and co crying to for her once you sober up."
The conversation had already moved on, but Sheng Shuai unwisely brought back the previous topic, "Director Sun, you just ntioned sothing about the family head’s word not holding up? That’s not likely, would he truly do sothing so untrustworthy?"
