Chapter 684: Chapter 684: From Now On, I Call the Shots at the Old Mansion!
Guan Jiu seemed to see Bai Yueru’s concerns and said, “Madam, in fact, the young master did the right thing. The Old Madam is getting old, and it’s time for you to take charge of the Sheng Mansion. Sooner or later, you’ll have to shoulder this responsibility.”
“How could this happen? Where is my son, where is he?” Bai Yueru really couldn’t accept it all at once.
Seeing that Bai Yueru was eager to find her son, Guan Jiu said, “Madam, you don’t need to look for the young master. He’s busy with important matters and probably will be out for several days.”
“Where did he go? That guy, his responsibilities are too big. Why didn’t he say anything about such an important matter just now? If I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have let him act rashly!” Bai Yueru stomped her foot in frustration!
“Madam, the young master just told me. The reason he didn’t discuss it with you in advance is that he was afraid you are too gentle by nature and would be too cautious in your actions. One can’t become the head of a family that way.”
“So he thinks he can just act now and report later? That child is really…sigh…”
“Madam, you must understand the young master’s difficulties. Although it may seem like he’s pushing the duck onto the perch, it’s also time for you to toughen up. Since you are the young master’s mother, only with you steering the Old Mansion can he be without worries and can fully concentrate on the business battleground. What do you think?”
“Sigh…” At this point, Bai Yueru felt she had no choice, but she was curious, “Guan Jiu, what’s with you today? It’s been several years since I’ve heard you talk this much. You seem to be in a good mood today.”
Guan Jiu said, “Madam, I am indeed in a good mood today because I think the young master did the right thing regarding the personnel adjustments in the Old Mansion. I seem to see a strong future for the Sheng Family.”
“Sigh…” Bai Yueru first sighed and then asked with a bitter smile, “My son has always been so impulsive, acting without hesitation. I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing for him. By the way, Guan Jiu, what’s the relationship between my son and Xiao Shu now?”
Guan Jiu said, “Madam, I’m not entirely clear, but judging from the interactions between the young master and Lady Ye Shu, it seems more like a love-hate relationship.”
“Love-hate relationship?” Bai Yueru felt vaguely worried, “Love is good but forget about the hate. I’ve noticed that Shu has changed since she came back this time. She wasn’t this cold before.”
“Yes, Madam, Ye Shu has changed, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Lady Ye Shu has become more confident and smarter now, and that’s exactly what you need to learn right now, Madam. The servants are all waiting, let’s hurry.”
“Alright, I’m all in. From now on, I’m calling the shots in the Sheng Mansion!”
Bai Yueru surprised even herself when she uttered these words!
Thinking back over the years, the Old Lady had never thought highly of her, and she had always felt stifled inside. The Old Lady had always held the power, hardly giving her a chance to show what she could do. As a lady of the Sheng Family, she was virtually non-existent, especially in the Old Mansion where she never really received genuine respect, not even from Nanny Chen, a mere servant who dared to throw her weight around because she was the Old Lady’s confidante!
There is no turning back after the bow is drawn, and now that her son has helped her create an opening, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and charge forward.
