I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

331 Seeing Second Uncle!

The three of them entered the Bai Residence.

Mother Bai first got a servant to pour tea for them. After that, she led the three of them to a room on the first floor.

Her expression was gentle. Bai Shanshan’s quiet temperament was something she inherited from Mother Bai. So, Mother Bai looked at them and slowly said, “His death anniversary is in two days.”

After that, she pushed the door open.

The three of them then entered.

Shen Ruojing immediately noticed the black-and-white portrait that was hanging on the wall.

Father Bai looked gentle and elegant and bore a resemblance to Bai Xiaojiu; Shen Ruojing could tell he was from the Bai Family with just a glance.

She then glanced at Bai Xiaojiu only to see that his attention was completely fixated on the photo. There was an agitated look on his face, and his gaze flickered with light. It looked as though he wanted to lunge forward.

It seemed that the man in the photo was indeed the second son of the Bai Family.

Bai Xiaojiu was so agitated that his entire body was trembling. The man in the photo was someone his grandmother would always show them every new year. She wanted them to remember that this was their second uncle and if they ran into him outside, they had to bring him home.

Although the man in the black-and-white photograph was decades older compared to the photo that his grandmother showed them, having a more carefree look as though he had seen through everything in the world, Bai Xiaojiu could recognize that this man was his second uncle with a single glance!

His second uncle passed away?

He actually passed away!

After his agitation passed, Bai Xiaojiu slowly calmed down. He pursed his lips tightly and looked at Mother Bai. “Auntie, might I be so bold to ask a question, Second…how did uncle pass away?”

As he spoke of Father Bai, Mother Bai’s eyes flickered with gentleness. She sighed. “He died of cancer and left us when Shanshan was still in junior high.”

Mother Bai didn’t go into details.

Bai Xiaojiu naturally didn’t feel too good to continue asking. Although the man in the portrait was his second uncle, he still needed proof. He couldn’t possibly depend on a single photo to convince the Bai Family.

Shen Ruojing suddenly spoke, “Are we not here to burn incense and give offerings?”

Her words caused Bai Xiaojiu to regain his senses.

Shen Ruojing took the lead. After lighting a few sticks of incense, she bowed and inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.

Bai Xiaojiu and Yun Wei followed her actions. After that, the three bade farewell to Mother Bai and left the Bai Residence.

Just when they stepped out, Yun Wei impatiently asked, “How is it?”

Bai Xiaojiu frowned, “It is my second uncle, but why isn’t my DNA with Bai Shanshan’s a match? Clearly, we are related, right?”

Cousins were definitely related if one wanted to do DNA testing.

Yun Wei was also doubtful. “Could it be that your uncle wasn’t your grandmother’s son?”

She could only suspect this.

After all, Bai Shanshan bore a 70% resemblance to the Bai Family’s second son. Those who were meticulous would definitely agree that they were father and daughter.

Bai Xiaojiu’s lips twitched. “This joke isn’t funny at all.”

Matriarch Bai doted on her second son the most. She was only unkind to Fourth Madam Bai.

When Bai Xiaojiu was young, Matriarch Bai also treated him very well.

As they were chatting, Shen Ruojing suddenly said, “There’s a problem with the DNA report.”

This sentence caused Bai Xiaojiu to be stunned.

He frowned before speaking, “I’ll send someone to investigate.”

Shen Ruojing nodded. “My friend will arrive at the capital tomorrow. I’ll get her to personally do the DNA test.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for your good news.”

Shen Ruojing then split from the two of them.

Bai Xiaojiu drove and sent Yun Wei back to the Chu Manor before returning home.

“There seems to be a charity banquet tonight and our Matriarch was invited.”

“My heavens, our Matriarch has so much prestige! Also, she will bring Madam Shen Wanying with her no matter where she goes. The main house is really favored!”

Bai Xiaojiu lowered his eyelids when he heard these words.

The servants immediately dispersed after seeing him. It was as though they were afraid they might be implicated if they spoke to him.

Bai Xiaojiu couldn’t be bothered with them. After all, the person in charge of the family right now was Matriarch Bai, and he was indeed loathed by her. Everyone was afraid that they might be unlucky as well if they got too close to him.

As he pondered, he soon arrived at the fourth house’s location. He heard his mother angrily complaining, “The charity banquet also issued an invitation to me, and I originally wanted to bring Little Wei there for her to broaden her horizons. However, Matriarch is simply too biased and actually kept my invitation, not allowing me to go. I’ve never been jealous that she has always been biased toward the third house, but things are becoming worse and worse now!”

A trusted butler of the fourth house who was standing at the side spoke, “Recently, no matter what events there are, Matriarch won’t allow you to go out. I don’t know why, but I feel as though she wants to put you under house arrest?”

Fourth Madam Bai choked as her eyes turned even redder. “What wrong have I committed? Her second son was the one who let me down, so Old Master Bai got his fourth son to marry me. Why does she have to implicate me because he left home?!”

The butler also felt heartache as she hugged her. “Yeah, Madam, you have truly suffered a lot through all these years.”

Fourth Madam Bai sobbed and wiped her tears away. After that, she spoke, “Don’t say anymore and just treat it like nothing happened. If Xiaojiu learns of this, he will feel even sadder. Forget it, I’ll just make a call and inform the charity banquet that I’m not feeling well tonight.”

“Okay.”

Seeing how his mother had to forcefully act happy, Bai Xiaojiu clenched his fists.

His mother wasn’t a weak and gentle woman but a strong career woman instead.

Her personality was domineering and decisive.

But now, she felt so stifled to the extreme!

Bai Xiaojiu didn’t mind suffering alone, but he didn’t want to see his mother and Yun Wei suffer along with him. He didn’t wish to endure this anymore! The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

...

At another location, inside a car.

Shen Wanying was speaking, “Grandmother, would it be a little too bad because you forbade fourth aunt from going?”

Matriarch Bai coldly laughed. “What’s bad about it? Since your mother-in-law and your third aunt-in-law aren’t going, why should she go?”

Shen Wanying’s gaze flashed.

The charity banquet didn’t issue an invitation to her mother-in-law and third aunt-in-law because they had nothing to do with the banquet tonight.

However, her fourth aunt-in-law was the nominal chairman of this charity organization and could be considered half-the-host tonight. The charity would naturally issue an invitation to her!

But she couldn’t say such things.

In fact, Shen Wanying even wanted to fan the flames. “But grandmother, if you do this, fourth aunt might harbor hatred in her heart toward you.”

“Even if she does, she has to tolerate me!” As expected, Matriarch Bai grew angry. “She has no right to be angry because if it wasn’t for her, my second son wouldn’t have left!”

Shen Wanying’s gaze gleamed with satisfaction.

But at this moment, Matriarch Bai’s phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it and saw that Bai Xiaojiu was the one calling her.

...

She narrowed her eyes and picked up the call. Her attitude was frosty. “What do you want?”

Bai Xiaojiu. “Grandmother, I saw second uncle.”

Matriarch Bai’s pitch instantly became high. “What?”
