Chapter 1114: Depends on My Mood

Fortunately, Bo Jinchuan didn’t take after his mother.

Otherwise, it was hard to imagine how Bo Jinchuan would look like.

Stepping into the villa, the servants in the living room turned to look at her. It was Auntie Zhang who greeted her first.

“Young Master’s grandmother is back?”

Shen Fanxing smiled and nodded. Before she could speak, Lou Ruoyi grabbed her wrist.

“Aiyo, you’re finally back. I’m getting a headache from these people.”

Lou Ruoyi muttered as she pulled Shen Fanxing to the sofa. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Shen Fanxing’s hands.

Shen Fanxing was speechless.

Was she suffering from a headache?

Lou Ruoyi pointed at the two people in front of her.

“There’s no need to introduce Aunt Zhang, who has been in charge of the Bo residence in Ping Cheng City. This is Aunt Chen, who has just come from Hong Kong. She has been serving the Old Master for so many years. Ever since he returned, he has been nagging. I quickly invited her over! Aunt Chen, this is my daughter-in-law, the future young mistress of the Bo family.”

Madam Chen glanced at Shen Fanxing and smiled politely. However, she didn’t address her as Young Madam.

“Madam, when you taught us to come back, didn’t you say that Young Master would be busy with the engagement? We haven’t even gotten engaged yet. Isn’t it too early to call her Young Madam?”

Mother Chen had been a servant in the Bo family for her entire life. In Hong Kong, she had managed the Bo residence well with the butler. She was highly valued and relied on by the Old Master.

Coupled with the fact that she had been managing the servants and was used to being bossy, over time, she had become more superior and arrogant.

Hearing Madam Chen’s words, Shen Fanxing frowned and fell into deep thought.

Lou Ruoyi wanted to say something, but Shen Fanxing held her hand.

Then, he looked up at Mother Chen and said,

“It’s just a form of address. If Mother Chen doesn’t want to call me that, then don’t. It’s fine.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Chen couldn’t help but glance at Shen Fanxing and smile.

“Miss Shen, you’re being too serious. It’s only a matter of time before you get married to Young Master. I just want to wait for the two of you to get married so that I can get something for the girls. At that time, everyone can call you ‘Young Madam’ in unison. Isn’t that good?”

Shen Fanxing nodded with a faint smile.

“It’s indeed not bad.”

Seeing how humble and polite Shen Fanxing was, Madam Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

She chuckled and said,

“I hope Miss Shen doesn’t mind. I’m used to being a servant and my thoughts are a little old-fashioned. I’m used to following the rules. I hope you can forgive me if I don’t behave appropriately.”

There was a sharp glint of wisdom in Shen Fanxing’s eyes. She analyzed Madam Chen briefly with a harmless smile.

“Depends on my mood.”

Madam Chen’s face stiffened.

She thought that based on her attitude just now, she should have agreed with her. She didn’t expect her to suddenly say such words.

She was a little unhappy. “Everyone makes small mistakes. It’s not good to be calculative…”

“Madam Chen,” interrupted Shen Fanxing calmly, the warm smile on her face gone.

“Since you’ve defined yourself as an old-fashioned servant, you really treat yourself as a servant. You can do the wrong thing, but I’m not allowed to be angry and calculative? Since ancient times, there’s no reason for the master to do things according to the servant’s mood, right?”

“…” Mother Chen smiled stiffly.

“You said that you want to abide by the rules and not call me by my name. This is our first time meeting, so I naturally have to give you some face and agree. However, your face is only so important to me. If you ask for too much, it will be…”

Shen Fanxing didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone felt better.

Madam Chen knew that her plan to establish her authority had been ruined. She had thought that since the Old Master had valued her for many years, even if she was the future Young Madam, she had to give her more face.

After all, it was very likely that she would have to take care of the Bo family in the future. Madam had not been in charge of the family for many years. If she wanted to learn how to do housework, she could only learn from herself. But now…

Hmph.

Forget it!

It was still unknown if she would be the young mistress of the Bo family in the future.

Without any family background, how could she enter the Bo family?

She didn’t know what Madam was thinking. She had abandoned the eldest daughter of the Yuan family whom she had seen since she was young, but…

After being by Old Master’s side for so many years, she could understand some of his thoughts. Old Master clearly liked the eldest daughter of the Yuan family…

Just as she was thinking, Yuan Sichun walked in.

When Madam Chen saw Yuan Sichun, the smile on her face immediately lit up. “Miss Yuan, you’re here?”

Her attitude was completely different from when she faced Shen Fanxing.

She had watched Yuan Sichun grow up. Almost everyone around her acknowledged that the eldest daughter of the Yuan family was the future young mistress of the Bo family.

Unknowingly, she had long determined that Yuan Sichun was the future Young Madam.

Now that another woman had appeared, in her eyes, Shen Fanxing was the third party between Young Master and Miss Yuan.

Comparing the two, she was naturally biased towards Yuan Sichun.

Yuan Sichun looked at Madam Chen and pondered for two seconds before smiling. “Madam Chen!”

“Haha…”

Seeing that Yuan Sichun remembered her, Mother Chen was overjoyed.

Lou Ruoyi had a cold expression on her face.

It seemed like she had made a mistake by not staying at home to manage the family back then.

As a result, the servility in some people’s bones was worn away.

Now, she wanted to show off the moment she entered!

“Auntie, what happened? The atmosphere was so strange just now.”

“Why are you here?”

There was no trace of her usual pleasantness, and her voice was cold.

Madam Chen’s heart skipped a beat. Why did Madam suddenly have such an attitude towards Miss Yuan?

Yuan Sichun’s face stiffened. She glanced at Madam Chen and her voice sounded aggrieved.

“… Mother called me and said that someone from Hong Kong will be here today. She asked me to help you arrange it.”

“Thank you. But with your sister-in-law at home, she should be the one to suffer!”

Yuan Sichun’s face turned pale. “I’m worried that Sister-in-law isn’t familiar with Madam Chen and the rest. I’m afraid that…”

“What’s wrong with that? It’s just a few servants! If she’s not willing to scram, I’m not willing to ask her to scram! What’s there to be conflicted about?”
