I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 248 - 248 Fan

248 Fan

When Yun Zhengyang introduced Jing Zhen, he merely did so casually.

He was mainly afraid that Old Master Bai might start asking about Jing Zhen’s occupation. It would be somewhat awkward then.

Things would be different if Jing Zhen were a big shot in the entertainment industry. He would still have some status then…

Everyone on the scene could see this clearly.

The fact that Yun Zhengyang had introduced Jing Zhen casually was a type of protection for Jing Zhen so he wouldn’t be overly observed.

Wen Yuyi curled her lips. After seeing Shen Ruojing entering, she retreated a step and lowered her voice. “Do you see it? Even the Chu family is nothing before Old Master Bai. At most, his gaze would only linger for a little longer. Now, do you understand the distance between the Chu Family and Bai Family?”

Shen Ruojing lifted her brows and looked at her.

Just when she wanted to say something, Wen Yuyi continued, “And look at how uncle introduced your parents. When it comes to your mother, my uncle still managed to add a few sentences, but when it comes to your father…his only status is as your mother’s husband! Old Master Bai would never have a mere small-time actor in his eyes! This is the difference in backgrounds!”

She spoke self-satisfiedly, but she soon saw——

Master Bai suddenly bowed and ardently took a step forward, stretching out his hands toward Shen Qianhui.

As a result, Shen Qianhui looked as though she was overwhelmed by favor from a superior. She also bowed and stretched out her hands.

Their hands grasped each other, and Old Master Bai cast a glance at Jing Zhen. After seeing the calm look on the big boss’s face, he understood that Jing Zhen had no intention of saying they were acquainted. Hence, Old Master Bai immediately spoke, “So you are the late Matriarch Yun’s daughter! She is truly a legendary character. Even in the capital, the few influential families respected her! As a woman, she actually stepped up and helmed the Yun Family through many crises, taking on the harsh responsibility of nurturing and growing a family to the extent where the Yun Family has developed so well. Such a feat is truly impressive. I’m sure her daughter is on the same level!”

Shen Qianhui was stunned by this. “…Thank you for your praise about my mother.”

When Yun Zhengyang saw this, he was also dumbfounded. Why didn’t he know that his aunt was so famous?

But then, it was indeed very difficult for a lone woman to helm and grow a family back in those days, so it was true that his aunt was worthy of respect for her achievements despite having a useless elder brother and a young nephew.

However, the tiny-scale businesses of the Yun Family were basically insignificant in the eyes of the four influential families from the capital. They actually noticed the Yun family?

Even Shen Wanxian was stunned.

She didn’t expect that Old Master Bai would treat Shen Qianhui differently from the rest!

She then pursed her lips and suddenly took a step forward. “Old Master Bai, you are really going overboard with the praises! Mother was indeed impressive, but my younger sis grew up in Sea City and wasn’t accepted into the family even after my mother passed away. It is truly a pity. On her deathbed, my mother was still holding my hands and told me to take good care of my younger sister…”

Old Master Bai asked doubtfully upon hearing her interruption, “You are?”

Shen Wanxian didn’t wait for Yun Zhengyang to introduce her, and she directly replied, “I’m also the late Matriarch Yun’s daughter. I’m Qianhui’s elder sister!”

She refused to mention anything about being a god-daughter.

Since Old Master Bai had praised the late Matriarch Yun so much, she naturally had to discard the god-daughter title so she could get closer to Old Master Bai.

After she finished speaking, she laughed and continued, “I am married into the Wen Family of the capital and am good friends with your third daughter-in-law.”

After saying that, she ardently looked at him.

She was hoping that he would mention that he only came because his third daughter-in-law had invited him due to her insistence.

But sadly, Old Master Bai merely grunted after hearing this. He then looked away and focused on Jing Zhen. “As for this person…”

Shen Wanxian immediately spoke, “This is my younger sister’s husband, and he is an actor. He has no notable achievements in his career and has been acting as an extra on filming sets…”

As the sound of her voice faded, Yun Zhengyang’s expression changed.

He frowned and looked at Shen Wanxian. He could clearly sense her malicious intent!

Why did she have to do this? Moreover, to her own sister’s husband and before an outsider?!

Yun Zhengyang pursed his lips while feeling angry in his heart.

Old Master Bai would definitely look down on his cousin Shen Qianhui now…

Just as he thought of this, she heard Old Master Bai laughing. “I know!”

Know?

That was normal…He would surely have investigated the Yun Family’s situation before he came for a visit.

But at the next instant, everyone saw Old Master Bai walking toward Jing Zhen and speaking with excitement on his face. “I’ve seen you acting in [Golden Age] before. Your acting skills are truly top-notched. I didn’t expect I would actually be able to see you here. I’m truly fortunate!”

Everyone. “???”

Everyone turned in unison and looked at Old Master Bai before turning to look at Jing Zhen.

Yun Zhengyang also hesitated, because after knowing Jing Zhen’s identity, he did get people to investigate Jing Zhen. If he didn’t remember wrongly, in [Golden Age], Jing Zhen only appeared on screen for a few moments when the last emperor committed suicide after the government collapsed.

Also, the emperor was a character that indulged in all vices and looked very weak. There was nothing fascinating about that character.

Old Master Bai actually knew of it?

Just when everyone was dumbstruck, Yun Yiheng at the side spoke out in astonishment, “Sir Bai, y…you are actually still chasing idols?”

Yun Yiheng was young, so he understood the mentality of young people.

The majority of young people had idols they adored. For example, he himself treated Qing Dai as his idol. But never would he have expected that Old Master Bai would also idolize someone.

Yun Zhengyang immediately looked at his son. “Yun Yiheng, what nonsense are you talking about? Keep quiet!”

However, Old Master Bai laughed. “Chasing idols? That’s right! I’m chasing my idol. All of you have idols, and so do I. Mr. Jing is my idol, and I’m his…hmm, what is that term? Yes, I’m his fan! Later on, can Mr. Jing give me some face and sit together with me?”

Everyone. “????”

“This…of course there’s no problem.” Yun Zhengyang quickly agreed. He then looked at Jing Zhen as though he was afraid Jing Zhen might be overwhelmed by favor from a superior and do something inappropriate.

But who would have thought that Jing Zhen actually lifted his head proudly as though he was truly facing a fan. He amicably patted Old Master Bai’s shoulder. “Thanks for your support.”

Yun Zhengyang. “!!”

(Old Master Bai was modest with his words, but how can you really treat yourself as someone impressive?)

However, for some reason, Old Master Bai seemed to be very happy with this gesture. Not only did he not get angry, but he even smiled and said, “Being able to have a meal with you at the same table is truly my fortune!”

“…”

Everyone here was stunned.

Yun Zhengyang was the first to regain his senses. “In that case, shall we be seated?”

Hence, everyone began to walk to the tables.

Shen Wanxian had put in some thoughts before she made the seating arrangements. She had actually placed Shen Qianhui, Jing Zhen, Shen Ruojing, and the rest of their family members at the back. But now, since Old Master Bai had said it, Jing Zhen simply went over and sat beside him.

Shen Wanxian bit her lips.

Wen Yuyi also clenched her fingers.

The elders sat upstairs, while the juniors sat below.

Just when Shen Ruojing sat down, she heard Yun Lu jealously remarking, “Sis Yuyi, these people are really from the villages and don’t know any etiquette. Clearly, your mother was the one who invited Old Master Bai, yet these bumpkins who have never seen the world actually snatched all the limelight. They don’t know how to be modest and give in!”

Wen Yuyi lifted her brows and smiled. “It’s alright, we are all in the capital, and my mother has a good relationship with the third madam of the Bai Family. In the future, we will have more opportunities to meet Old Master Bai. In addition, since she managed to invite Old Master Bai, it goes to show that she has a place in Old Master Bai’s heart. We don’t have to act like some people who have to give their all in order to attract Old Master Bai’s attention…”

Wen Yuyi was seemingly speaking to herself while speaking to Yun Lu.

After saying that, her imbalanced psychological state finally regained its balance.

But at this moment, she suddenly heard Bai Xiaojiu reminding Old Master Bai, “Grandpa, don’t forget your purpose for visiting the Yun family today. We have yet to show our thanks…”

As the sound of his voice faded, Shen Wanxian and Wen Yuyi were both dumbfounded.

(Thanks? Why is there a need for that?)
