The servants were all dumbfounded. Who was the woman in front of them?
Shen Zhiyan noticed the different looks on Su Ci and took a step forward without leaving any trace, blocking those people's prying eyes.
"Where's grandpa? I have something to ask him about."
The servant came to his senses and stammered: "Yes, in the study."
The man has a slender and straight figure with a cold face. He always exudes a cold and powerful aura, which makes people feel frightened and afraid to peep easily.
He glanced at the surrounding servants lightly and introduced, "This is my wife Su Ci, the second young lady of the Shen family."
The man's voice was deep and hoarse, with a hint of indescribable sex appeal, but the words he spoke seemed to be mixed with thousands of years of ice, extremely cold.
The servants present all trembled in their hearts and hurriedly greeted Su Ci: "Hello, Madam Second Young Master."
Su Ci slowly poked her little head out from behind Shen Zhiyan, her lips slightly curved, "Hello, my name is Su Ci. Please give me your advice in the future."
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
"The second young lady is so beautiful, even prettier than Miss Xu..."
A servant smiled innocently, but in the middle of his words, he was suddenly poked with his elbow.
When the servant came back to his senses, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. His face instantly turned red, and he quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.
Su Ci held Shen Zhiyan's arm, her delicate and picturesque eyebrows curved into a pair of small crescents, "Husband, she complimented me on how good-looking I am."
Shen Zhiyan raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't understand why she was so happy.
But it was rare for Su Ci to be so happy, and Shen Zhiyan said in a low voice, "She is telling the truth."
Although he had never cared about a girl's appearance before, he had to admit that his little girl was indeed pretty.
He happily held Su Ci's hand and walked inside.
When passing by the servant who just praised Su Ci's beauty, he asked: "What's your name?"
The servant felt the strong aura coming from Shen Zhiyan, and his throat suddenly became tight.
She hurriedly replied: "Second Master, my name is Li Cuifen, everyone calls me Sister Li."
Shen Zhiyan nodded and said to Sister Li: "This month's salary will be doubled. I will go directly to Uncle Bai later."
Sister Li was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react.
It wasn't until he was pushed by the person behind him that he came back to his senses and thanked Shen Zhiyan excitedly: "Thank you, second master, thank you, second master! Thank you, second young lady!"
For Sister Li, this is simply an unexpected surprise.
She never thought that her careless words would double her salary this month.
It seems that this girl is very unusual for the second master.
In all the years she had been working as a servant in the Shen family, she had never seen the cold-hearted Shen Zhiyan be so gentle and considerate to that woman.
At this time, Sister Li's eyes when she looked at Su Ci had changed.
His eyes were shining, as if he were looking at a lovely lucky cat.
Shen Zhiyan pulled Su Ci up to the second floor and walked towards the study.
However, as soon as I got to the second floor, I saw a woman wearing a dark blue cheongsam walking towards me from a distance.
Shen Zhiyan pursed his thin lips tightly, and his deep and dark eyes shone with cold frost.
"Ayan."
Ruan Jinglan walked over and stood in front of Shen Zhiyan, but her eyes fell directly on Su Ci beside him.
Ruan Jinglan was startled when she saw Su Ci's porcelain-white jade little face.
She didn't expect Su Ci to be so beautiful.
She has a petite and slender figure, a porcelain white face with a hint of healthy pinkness, delicate eyebrows and eyes like a carefully traced ink painting, and lips as red as cherries.
There is a hint of coquettishness in the flowing waves.
Everywhere is extremely beautiful.
Mixed together, it becomes more indescribably soft and moving.
Ruan Jinglan frowned.
How could this appearance and demeanor be worthy of being the second young mistress of the Shen family?
In public, she held the man's arm and wished she could press her body against the man's.
This is simply not the kind of gesture a young lady trained by a wealthy family can do.
Rather, she is like a mistress that men keep in private, clinging to the man in a coquettish and pretentious way, wishing for more love.
Ruan Jinglan pursed her lips, her eyes filled with displeasure.
Shen Zhiyan noticed Ruan Jinglan's critical and disgusting look, and took a step forward to block Su Ci.
"This is my wife, Su Ci. Ci Ci, this is... Mrs. Shen family."
Su Ci, who was blocked by Shen Zhiyan, had a look of surprise in her eyes.
She stretched out her white and tender little hands and pulled Shen Zhiyan's clothes.
Under his puzzled gaze, Su Ci asked in a low voice: "Is this bad woman really your mother? Her biological child?"
Shen Zhiyan did not expect Su Ci to ask this question.
He was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Although she didn't want to admit it, this was indeed the mother who gave birth to him in ten months of pregnancy.
He lowered his eyes, looked at Su Ci, whose face was glaring angrily at Ruan Jinglan, and asked in confusion: "What? Have you seen her?"
Su Ci clenched her little fists and pointed at Ruan Jinglan angrily, "It was because she had to take me out to buy candy that I couldn't find you."
"What?"
Shen Zhiyan frowned and stared straight at Ruan Jinglan with a pair of sharp and cold eyes like an eagle.
He clenched his hands into fists, his handsome face suddenly darkened, and the cold aura on his body dispersed.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment.
"Didn't you say that Su Ci ran out on her own and got lost?"
Shen Zhiyan gritted his teeth, his eyes were red and deep, looking directly at the woman in front of him.
When Su Ci was one year old, she accidentally got lost and was kidnapped by a group of illegals to the southwestern border of China for medical experimental research. She stayed there for two years.
Until he was three years old, Shen Zhiyan was kidnapped by that group of people and taken to the laboratory.
Not long after, the Shen family found the laboratory and rescued the kidnapped and trafficked children.
When Shen Zhiyan was in coma, he kept holding the dying Su Ci and said that if he could not find Su Ci's parents in the future, he would personally raise Su Ci.
But when Shen Zhiyan woke up again, he heard Ruan Jinglan say that Su Ci had gone out to play and got lost.
Shen Zhiyan has been secretly searching for traces of Su Ci over the years, but has never found them.
Ruan Jinglan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Su Ci's words, a little unbelievable.
"Are you that little girl back then?"
"This, how is this possible!"
"Ayan, listen to me, I didn't..."
"It's you, it's you! I will never remember it wrong!"
Su Ci looked up at Ruan Jinglan, with her hands on her hips and her face slightly bulging with anger.
If she hadn't taken into account that this woman was her husband's mother, she would have stabbed him with a silver needle and tortured him severely.
Ruan Jinglan opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but found something wrong with Shen Zhiyan's eyes.
