Chapter 132: The Teddy Bear Was Blameless
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After leaving the hospital, Shen Qingyue received a call from the Old
Residence’s butler, who informed her that there was a water leak in her room and asked her to return to check if any valuable items were damaged. Recently, she had been living in an apartment for the convenience of taking care of her grandfather, so she had moved most of her belongings there, leaving very little at the Old Residence. However, she suddenly remembered the small box she had kept under her bed for over a decade, which contained her teddy bear.
It was a guardian spirit given to her by a young man with a half-golden mask when she was a child. Although she had divorced Qin Zhen by now, that item was still a cherished possession of hers. Even if its owner had gone astray, the teddy bear was blameless.
Upon her return to the Old Residence, the Xu family was having a meal, but they all gathered in the hall when they heard that Shen Qingyue had returned. Since Shen Da had been detained and hadn’t returned home, only the three of them remained in the house.
Seeing Shen Qingyue, their faces turned grim. Xu Fengzhi was the first to question her, “Who let you in? You put your cousin in jail and still have the audacity to come back!”
Shen Qingyue chuckled, “If my own cousin can dare to harm his uncle, why can’t I come in? Besides, I’ll remind you, this is my home!”
Xu Fengzhi shouted, “Butler! Throw this ungrateful wretch out! I don’t want to see her!”
However, no one moved.
Xu Fengzhi felt as though she had been slapped in the face, her chest heaving with anger. She glared at Shen Qingyue, whose smiling face seemed even more irritating. “You all won’t listen to me, huh? Tomorrow, I’ll replace every single one of you!” Then, she turned to her two children and ordered, “Shen Yiyan, Shen Qingxue, are you both blind? Get Shen Qingyue out of here!”
Shen Yiyan and Shen Qingxue also harbored deep resentment towards Shen Qingyue. Upon their mother’s command, they immediately moved to take action.
The butler and several other servants stepped forward, shielding Shen Qingyue from their advance.
The butler stood straight, “This old mansion belongs to Old Master Shen and Young Miss Shen Qingxue, not to you. You are just temporarily staying here, so please remember your place.”
Shen Qingxue’s voice sharpened, “What’s the meaning of this!? You’re just a servant. Why do you have the audacity to talk to us like this? Don’t forget who pays your salary!”
The butler replied, “Of course, it’s Mr. Shen Jun.”
Shen Qingxue was infuriated by his attitude. “Mom, don’t wait until tomorrow.
Let’s kick out these freeloaders right now!”
Xu Fengzhi, also consumed by anger, nodded immediately and ordered the butler and other servants, “All of you, get out now! None of you are allowed to set foot here again!”
Shen Qingyue remained calm and composed, saying, “On the property deed of this Old Residence, it’s written under my grandfather’s name. If I were to call the police now and report your unauthorized entry into a private property, it would hold up. You’ve been here for just a few days while my grandfather and I were away, and you think this place belongs to you? Dream on.”
Xu Fengzhi, in a malicious tone, retorted, “The Old Master did say he would give us this house!”
Shen Qingyue, still appearing unruffled, responded, “You also said it yourself, my grandfather said such a thing before. Shen Da dared to harm my grandfather, and you still think you can have the house? If it weren’t for me being busy recently and not wanting to bother with you, did you really think you could come and go freely here? Well, today I’m back, and I’ll just clean up the trash.”
Shen Qingyue looked at the steward. “Butler, escort them out. The police officers are quite busy, so we won’t trouble them for now. But if anyone refuses to leave, then we’ll have to call them. After all, we are law-abiding citizens.”
The butler nodded, “Understood, Young Miss Shen.”
Several security guards then surrounded Xu Fengzhi’s family.
Xu Fengzhi, in frustration, said, “I am the mistress here! If you dare to touch me, I’ll have you all fired!”
The butler wore a cold expression and did not bother wasting words. If it weren’t for the Old Master being in the hospital lately and not wanting to disturb his rest, he would have expelled these people long ago. “Please cooperate.”
“You want to kick us out and expect us to cooperate?” Xu Fengzhi laughed in anger and pushed the butler. “I won’t cooperate. Try laying a finger on me!”
She did not believe Shen Qingyue would dare to call the police. The Shen family wouldn’t want to lose face, would they?
The butler quickly regained his balance. Seeing Xu Fengzhi’s lack of cooperation, he had no choice but to use force.
“So be it.” He signaled to several security guards, and they apprehended Xu Fengzhi’s family and escorted them outside. Soon, the shouts and curses of Xu Fengzhi were cut off as they were thrown out..
