The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 537 - 294

Soon, Wenyan and the others were led to the stairwell.

Wooden steps, with no direct elevator.

After bringing them here, the staff member left.

"Ms. Su, you can just go straight up, it’s the same old place."

"Okay," Su Yang nodded at the staff member, "Thank you for the trouble, we’ll go up ourselves."

Once the staff member had left, Wenyan approached to link arms with Su Yang.

"Mom, it looks like you come here often."

"Yeah, haven’t I told you before? Bai Qin and I are very good friends. I often borrow clothes from her, and she frequently borrows jewelry from me."

Wenyan nodded in understanding and turned to extend her hand to Qin Yulong, "Hold on."

Qin Yulong raised an eyebrow, "What for, are you afraid I’ll trip on the stairs?"

Wenyan smiled, "It seems they’ve taken the imitation of ancient architecture quite seriously here; the steps are indeed a bit high."

Although Yulong was no longer a child and didn’t need to hold hands, she still placed her hand in Wenyan’s palm.

Su Yang loved nothing more than seeing her children getting along amiably; it was simply too blissful.

The three of them quickly reached the second floor.

The entire second floor was Bai Qin’s studio, without concrete walls or glass partitions, offering an extremely open view upon entering.

First to catch Wenyan’s eyes was a graceful beauty sitting in front of a large table inside, dressed in a white new-style cheongsam.

She seemed to be about the same age as Su Yang, but her features were more stunning, making her appear more forceful. Upon seeing guests, she made no move to stand up.

Wenyan knew this must undoubtedly be Bai Qin, the master mentioned by her mother.

Su Yang didn’t bother with formality with her good friend.

"Nice of you, Old Bai. I come all the way here and you can’t even stand up to greet me. Is this how you treat your guests?"

Only then did Bai Qin stand up, smiling at Su Yang, "My place has practically become your second studio, do I still need to greet you? Aren’t you free to come and go as you please? Should I arrange a guard of honor for you, and hang up a banner too?"

Su Yang huffed, "You’re just teasing me, aren’t you? You’re not giving me any face at all, watch it or I’ll hit you."

"You? Hit me? Wishful thinking."

"Wishful thinking, is it? Maybe you should try and see?"

"..."

Hearing the conversation between Su Yang and Bai Qin, Wenyan couldn’t help but look at Yulong beside her.

They locked eyes, and Wenyan could see the same astonishment in Yulong that she herself felt.

Never had she expected Su Yang to have such a side; she was never like this at home. frёewebnoѵēl.com

However, it was clear that the relationship between her and Bai Qin was truly very good.

Once the initial greetings were over, Su Yang formally introduced Wenyan and Qin Yulong to Bai Qin.

"Old Bai, these are the two daughters I always tell you about. This is Yanyan, and this is Yulong."

As she spoke, Su Yang looked towards the two, "Say hello now."

Wenyan always had a sweet mouth, "Hello Master Bai, I’m Wenyan."

But no sooner had Wenyan spoken than Su Yang corrected her, "Why are you calling her master? That’s too formal. Just call her Aunt Bai."

"Yes," Bai Qin looked at Wenyan and Qin Yulong, "although this is our first meeting, I’ve heard so much about your names and deeds that my ears could grow calluses. Since you are Su’s daughters, there’s no need for such formality."

Wenyan immediately changed her address, "Hello Aunt Bai. It’s our first time meeting and we didn’t know your preferences, but my mom mentioned you like tea, so Yulong and I have brought a few boxes of tea leaves for you, hoping you’ll enjoy them."

As she spoke, Wenyan gestured for Yulong to hand the gift box to Bai Qin.

Yulong called out ’Aunt Bai’ politely and offered the gift box with both hands.

Bai Qin did take the gift box, but the expression she gave Yulong was somewhat amused.

"What’s wrong, not happy? Are you putting on that face because I scolded you over the phone?"

"No," replied Yulong blandly, "the sour face is because I’m naturally not fond of smiling."

Bai Qin laughed softly, "You think I believe that? Are you thinking to yourself, I already knew you were the daughters of my good friend, yet I didn’t give any face at all, scolded you to the heavens on the phone?"

Yulong hadn’t expected Bai Qin would bring up the matter in front of everyone.

She frowned slightly, "I indeed didn’t expect that you already knew about us, but right now I’m not upset, just a bit angry at the time. I also understand your position. It was excessive on my part to make such a demand, it’s no wonder you were angry and scolded me—I deserved it."
