Cheng Yiyi was curious. “Does she know about this?”
“What does she think about it?”
“Miss Shen is unwilling to leave the Shen family,” Butler Li replied.
‘Just as I thought!’
Cheng Yiyi muttered inwardly.
But thinking about it, going from frugal to lavish is easy, going from lavish to frugal is hard.
Any normal person wouldn’t throw away a life of comfort just to reunite with family who weren’t exactly wealthy, right?
Even if there’s a blood relation, most of the time, blood doesn’t beat money.
“However…”
The butler continued, “Miss Shen very much wants to meet her biological parents, your adoptive parents.”
‘Hypocritical. So hypocritical!’
Cheng Yiyi’s eyes turned wary, like a cat puffing up its fur.
She shifted her gaze to the side so the butler couldn’t see.
Her face showed displeasure. She pouted sulkily, teeth clenched.
‘If you look down on Mom and Dad for being poor, just say so!’
‘Fine, don’t come back, then. It’s not like Mom and Dad are begging for you…’
‘In their eyes, I’m far more important than you!’
‘And yet you say you want to meet them? What a face-saving jerk!’
Cheng Yiyi’s first impression of Shen Anyue was terrible!
She had looked Shen Anyue up online.
Just because Shen Anyue was harassed for a little while, her brother would break the harasser’s legs.
‘How could she not have been behind it?!’
‘In other words, how could anyone dote on their little sister that much?!’
‘And online, there isn’t a single piece of negative news about her!’
‘Nobody is perfect, let alone a daughter of a prominent family under constant scrutiny!’
‘She must have hired internet trolls, or suppressed the information!’
‘Quite the tactics…’
Cheng Yiyi bit her lip slightly, and her mind began to scheme.
“Young Miss, what did you just say? The wind was too strong, I didn’t catch it.”
“Nothing. I was humming.” Just thinking about that awful Shen Anyue filled Cheng Yiyi with resentment.
‘Mom and Dad are so good, so kind. How could a girl they gave birth to turn out so morally rotten?!’
‘No, I have to find a chance to correct her!’
‘But that girl is definitely no pushover. Everything has to be planned carefully.’
“Young Miss, we’ve arrived. Please step out.”
Cheng Yiyi was still sketching out her plan in her head when Butler Li’s voice came from the driver’s seat.
“Mm, coming.”
Cheng Yiyi had brought very little luggage. Butler Li could carry it all by himself with ease.
They just needed to walk a tiny bit.
On the road through the private airport, Butler Li asked, “Young Miss, do you get airsick?”
“I… I don’t know. I’ve never flown.”
Cheng Yiyi had never even left her province her whole life. Why would she need a long-distance vehicle like a plane?
“It’s alright. If you get airsick, we can turn around mid-flight and take a helicopter.”
“Alternatively, we could take a boat.”
“Don’t worry. Although it’s a private boat, its tonnage is large, so it won’t rock much during the trip.”
“There’s also the train, the subway…”
“If you’re interested, I can arrange it right now.”
“We can definitely make it back to the capital before 5:30 PM.”
Hearing this, Cheng Yiyi took out her phone and checked the time.
It was only a little past 4 PM.
In other words, no matter which option she chose, she could board the corresponding vehicle within a few dozen minutes at most.
“Never mind, that’s not necessary.”
Cheng Yiyi shook her head. “The plane is fine. If I get airsick, just give me a bag. I’ll tough it out.”
“…” Butler Li was taken aback, then a smile spread across his face. “You seem far less delicate than I imagined.”
“Logically, with looks like yours, you should never have had to lift a finger in life.”
Cheng Yiyi thought for a moment. “Actually, the bigger reason might be that my parents have good genes.”
She meant it sincerely.
Because over the years, she knew how perfunctory her skincare routine was. But even so, when she looked in the mirror, she would see a face that was exceptionally pretty, with slender, elongated brows, slightly upturned eyes that were bright and clear, long smooth hair full of luster, skin flawless, features as if carved from gold and jade…
A beautiful young woman.
If the genes weren’t good, it wouldn’t make sense.
“Your parents’ genes are truly remarkable.” Butler Li led the way as he spoke. “Miss Shen’s learning ability is simply incredible. Her grades were always at the top of her class. If she wasn’t first, it was because she missed the exam.”
“She rarely uses skincare products on her face, yet even so, her skin is incredibly smooth, to an extent ordinary people wouldn’t even dare to dream of.”
“And her temperament is excellent…”
Cheng Yiyi got goosebumps as she listened.
‘Why is this butler spouting nothing but praise?’
‘The more I listen, the more wrong it feels!’
‘Could it be that the fake daughter can’t stand anyone saying anything bad about her?’
‘Did she use her position to force the butler into becoming nothing more than a flatterer?’
At that thought, Cheng Yiyi’s eyes grew firm, and she silently made up her mind.
‘Don’t worry, Brother Butler!’
‘I’ll definitely fix that unreasonable girl!’
Other people in the Shen family might not be able to discipline her.
But Cheng Yiyi was different!
Because no matter how you looked at it, Shen Anyue had invisibly stolen half of Cheng Yiyi’s luxurious life.
And Cheng Yiyi had deep feelings for her adoptive parents. She couldn’t bear that such noble adoptive parents could produce such a rotten child!
Being the true daughter was a supreme buff that made Cheng Yiyi completely unafraid of Shen Anyue’s threats and bribes!
If it really came to a fight, she wasn’t afraid either.
Worst case, she’d expose all of that bad girl’s misdeeds!
But that was a last resort.
In comparison, Cheng Yiyi’s most hoped-for outcome was to make that girl turn back from the wrong path.
Then came the journey.
That butler was truly something. He knew a bit of everything, even flying the plane with great skill.
With greater ability comes greater responsibility.
From the looks of it, this guy held a high position in the Shen family.
This also indirectly showed that the Shen family placed considerable importance on Cheng Yiyi, their long-lost daughter. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent Li Zhiheng to personally welcome her.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yiyi’s confidence grew a bit more.
‘Shen Anyue…’
‘As your older sister, I’m definitely going to straighten you out!’
‘At the very least, you have to live up to your parents’ righteous values, and the identity of a Shen family young lady!’
Private planes are fast.
Although Sichuan Province, where Cheng Yiyi was, wasn’t too far from the capital, the entire trip took less than two hours.
It was midsummer now.
It got dark around 7 PM.
Cheng Yiyi had boarded the plane before 5. By the time she transferred to the car, the sunlight was still strong and the weather just as hot.
Luckily, the car had air conditioning, so she wasn’t drenched in sweat.
But thinking about soon facing those relatives she’d never met but who held very high status, she still felt uneasy.
“Brother Butler.”
“Yes?”
“What are my brothers’ names?”
“Do you have photos? I’m afraid I won’t know what to call them when we meet.”
“Don’t worry about that. None of the Shen family’s three young masters are difficult people. They won’t mind what you call them.”
“You can call them by their names directly, or just call them all ‘big brother.’ Either works.”
“As for photos, I happen to have some here. Please take a look.”
