Chapter 492 - 492 Yuan Family (1)
492 Yuan Family (1)
w.a.n.g Mingan was a sensitive and prideful person. Every time he was bullied, it was no different from a thousand cuts to him.
Similarly, he didn’t like being pitied.
Second Miss Shen had seen his disheveled side twice, but she never had a pitiful expression on her face.
Including the first time she gave him money. She said “the medical fees that those people paid you”, not “take the money to see a doctor.”
!!
He was also given money, but the former made him feel that he deserved it, while the latter only made him feel like he was being given charity.
Regardless of whether Second Miss Shen had done it unintentionally, he was grateful to her.
That’s right. Compared to Shen Yijia saving him, w.a.n.g Mingan was clearly more grateful that she preserved his self-esteem.
According to Song Jinghao, the book that he had yet to send to the bookstore should have been left behind when he was blocked in the south of the city. Second Miss Shen picked it up and brought it home, but Song Jinghao happened to recognize it as his handwriting.
Knowing that he had wronged someone, w.a.n.g Mingan moved his lips and was about to apologize.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the cla.s.sroom. The teacher had arrived.
Brother Hao snorted and sat back down.
Didn’t Sister-in-law want to sell novels? He could write them too!
Shen Yijia did not know that Brother Hao had made up his mind to write his own novel because of this.
Unexpectedly, she saw Miss Yuan in the afternoon.
“Miss Yuan, it’s not that we don’t want to help you, but your zither is too broken. Our shop’s master can’t repair it at all.”
“Besides, your zither looks ordinary, and it’s not a famous zither. If you have the money to repair it, you might as well buy a new one. Its timbre will definitely be several times better than your original one.”
“This way, you won’t have to make things difficult for us when you have a new zither. Don’t you think that makes sense?” The shopkeeper of the zither workshop tried his best to send the master and servant out.
Without waiting for the young lady to speak, she stuffed the zither wrapped in cloth back into the maidservant’s hand.
The maidservant was so angry at the shopkeeper’s att.i.tude that she stomped her feet. When she noticed her young lady’s dejected expression, her heart ached and she felt helpless. She quickly comforted her. “Miss, don’t be sad. This isn’t the only zither workshop in the capital. Let’s go to another shop and ask. It can definitely be repaired.”
Yuan Yuwan smiled bitterly and shook her head. “If even The Zither House can’t repair the zither, who else can?”
The maidservant choked. The Zither House was the best zither workshop in the capital. If they could not repair it, no one else could.
Thinking of something, she looked at the shop angrily. “That might not be the case. Perhaps Second Miss came to inform this shopkeeper in advance and didn’t let them repair it for us? Isn’t this zither deliberately…”
“Alright, don’t say anything without evidence,” Yuan Yuwan interrupted her.
The maidservant stomped her feet. “Miss, you’re too good-tempered.”
Yuan Yuwan’s eyes darkened. It wasn’t that she had a good temper. It was just that she could see the situation clearly.
After her grandfather pa.s.sed away, there was no one in the Yuan family who could stand up for her.
Fortunately, she was about to get married. When she left the Yuan Family, she would no longer have anything to do with the Yuan Family.
The two ice mirrors that Shen Yijia had customized a few days ago could be picked up today. After lunch, she pulled Song Jingchen out.
Coincidentally, the copperware shop and The Zither House were on the same street, but the road in front of the shop was not wide. If the Yuan family’s carriage stopped there, their carriage would not be able to pa.s.s.
South Wind could only stop the carriage and prepare to wait for the carriage in front to leave.
Shen Yijia despised the stuffy heat in the carriage and lifted the curtain, so she took in this scene.
Seeing the master and servant get into the carriage and leave, Shen Yijia turned around and asked Song Jingchen, who was reading the case file, “Hubby, which girl from the Yuan family is engaged to Xiao Ruoshui’s brother?”
Song Jingchen looked up and frowned for a moment before saying, “The eldest daughter of the Yuan family.”
In the past, the Yuan family could be considered a family of wealth. The late Old Master Yuan was an official who became the Cabinet Grand Secretary. Unfortunately, none of his children and grandchildren could hold the fort. Now, they were on the decline.
In fact, it was already considered a light punishment to say that he couldn’t do anything. When Old Master Yuan was still alive, he could still restrain his descendants.
The Yuan family was in complete chaos after he left. Song Jingchen had already heard many jokes about the Yuan family in the past ten days.
