7 Maidens System - Chapter 40 Clearing Misunderstanding
Smack!
A loud noise rang out from the study room, Zhou Feilong slapped on Zhou Feng’s face causing him spurted out the blood from his swollen mouth.
“Trash! What did I tell you? I said not to act against him, why would you still did it ah!?” Zhou Feilong yelled at his son, his salivas sprayed all over Zhou Feng’s face. He was truly rage and very disappointed with him.
Zhou Feng wiped the blood from his face, and glared unwillingly at his father, “Why I can’t do anything to him? He is just trash who only knows how to hide behind that bitch’s back!! Without that bitch protection, what else can he do?” He shouted back, he didn’t understand why his father lowered his head and compromised with Shen Tianyun and Lin Xueyue. He was a young master of Zhou family, the overlord of Peal City! Why should he fear someone like Shen Tianyun!?
Zhou Feilong took a deep breath, he said with a cold voice, “Oh? Do you think that he only knows to rely on Lin Xueyue? Then tell me, what happened in that room? What about your bodyguards, why did they become like that? Ah!? Tell me! I want to hear it!”
Zhou Feng was stunned, he didn’t know how to reply to his father. When he thought about what happened in that room, his hands immediately clenched into the fists. A fresh humiliated and fears still lingering in his heart. Up until now, he still couldn’t figure out how Shen Tianyun had defeated his 2 bodyguards. It was a very bizarre event, when he ordered them to attack Shen Tianyun, a moment later, all he saw was one of his bodyguard’s body flew towards him and caught him off guard. He didn’t have the time to react at all and fell into the ground from the impact with his bodyguard’s body.
“I…I don’t know, father. It is that 2 trash’s fault!, they can’t even beat that Shen Tianyun!” Zhou Feng blurted out in a panic, right now he could only push the blame onto his 2 bodyguards.
Zhou Feilong raised his hand and was about to slap him again, however, his hand stopped in the air for a moment before he retracted it back. It was no point to hit Zhou Feng any further, he could only blame himself for not teaching them properly. At first, he thought that he could use Shen Tianyun to teach his son a lesson, never did he expect that he and Lin Xueyue were hiding their true ability all the time and it was him who lost in the end.
“I will tell you again, from today onward, don’t you dare to do anything on him again. If you still don’t listen to me, I will personally send you to America and I won’t allow you to come back again in 10 years. Choose by yourself” He calmly said, and shifted his gaze onto Zhou Xiaolong who stood in silence all this time. The latter’s body shivered violently when facing his father’s gaze.
“And you, you should forget about that girl from Liu family. Don’t blame me for not warning you. Now get the hell out of here!!” He waved his hand to chase them out of his room. The Zhou brothers quickly escaped out of the room. Zhou Feilong stood in silence for a while before letting out a long sigh, no one knows what was he thinking right now.
………
“Phew…finally, I can go back. This is not fun at all.” In the car, Shen Tianyun said while he leisurely resting his head on Lin Xueyue’s laps.
“Of course, this is not a funny thing to do but do we have a choice?” Lin Xueyue replied while she was massaging his forehead to help him relax.
Shen Tianyun grabbed her another hand and brought it to his nose, he then greedily inhaled a fragrance that emitted from her hand before he asked, “Why don’t we find some time and go somewhere to relax ourself?”
Lin Xueyue didn’t mind his weird actions on the contrary she was very happy in her heart. Her eyes were filled with affection and love, “Do you forget about tomorrow? You have to go on a date with my mother, you can relax there.” She asked.
Shen Tianyun’s actions abruptly stopped, he sighed helplessly in a short moment afterward. Lin Xueyue curiously asked him, “Why? Isn’t she suit your taste? Who knows maybe you two will end up in the bedroom later.”
Her words caused Shen Tianyun became speechless for a while, “Erm…it’s not like that. You should know that it will be very hard to make her forget about my father. This is really troublesome.” He explained.
Lin Xueyue waved her fist and said, “You can do it, Hubby! Fighting!” Seeing this Shen Tianyun immediately laughed out loud, he never thought that this cold woman could do something this cute.
At this moment, the car gradually arrived at Liu family’s house, Shen Tianyun and Lin Xueyue stepped out of the car.
“Are you sure this is the right time to talk with them?” Shen Tianyun asked with a little concern in his voice.
Lin Xueyue nodded, “Yes, I think they deserve to know everything about Dongfang Mengrou. As for Grandma Su, aren’t you already told her about your past life? I think we should tell her the truth, and Feiyan is your woman now, she deserves to know as well. Everything will be easier in the future.”
Shen Tianyun thought for a bit and nodded in agreement. Lin Xueyue turned around to face her bodyguard, she smiled faintly and said, “Song Yan, you should go back now. I will stay here today.”
A bodyguard name Song Yan was surprised, he hurried to say, “This…Young Miss, Master told me to stay with you all the time. If you stay here I will stay with you.”
A smile on Lin Xueyue’s face vanished, “Oh? So that he can monitor me all the time right? What did he tell you after you reported to him?” She said in a cold voice.
Song Yan shuddered, cold sweats appeared on his forehead. He was a former soldier before, even when he went to the battlefield he didn’t have any fear at all, but when he faced Lin Xueyue, a fear slowly emerged in his heart. His instinct told him that she was a very dangerous person.
Seeing a panicked Song Yan, Shen Tianyun took a step forward and patted on his shoulder, “Thank you for protecting her, today you did a really good job. Here, use this money and go relax. Don’t worry about her safety, I think you should know how tight security here, right?” He put 1,000 RMB on Song Yan’s hand. His words contained a deep meaning, Song Yan immediately understood, fear in his heart was increased again. He subconsciously nodded his head and hurried to drive the car out of this place.
Looked at the car quickly disappeared from his sight, Shen Tianyun shook his head and chuckled slightly, he turned around and saw Lin Xueyue stared at him with a beautiful smile on her face.
“What is it?” He asked.
“You sure know how to play with his heart, I bet that he probably see us as a demon right now.” She replied with a light chuckled.
Shen Tianyun shrugged and pulled her made their way into the house. Along the way, he briefly explained the situation and introduced Lin Xueyue to those bodyguards who he was familiar with. When they know Lin Xueyue’s identity, they couldn’t help but become alerted. If this Princess Lin has a mishap here, their life probably came to the end. The security around the house tightened up instantly. Shen Tianyun was speechless, he only wanted them to know Lin Xueyue and didn’t expect to scare them like this.
“Tianyun! You’re back!…Eh? Xueyue?” When both of them reached the front door, Liu Feiyan suddenly opened the door and greeted Shen Tianyun with a warm smile as if a wife who waiting for her husband to come home after work.
“Mhm! I’m back, today Yue’er will stay with us here.” Shen Tianyun replied while trying to take off an outer suit.
Liu Feiyan quickly took a step forward and help him, “Eh?… Don’t tell me you will tell me everything to mom and Grandma Su today? That’s great then!” She said excitedly while folding his suit.
Lin Xueyue smiled and nodded in reply, 3 of them slowly walked into the living room. Fang Yulan and Grandma Su were chatting leisurely at this moment, they became puzzled when they saw Lin Xueyue walked into the living room.
“Mom! Xueyue will stay with us here today!” Liu Feiyan was the first one to say.
Fang Yulan frowned slightly before she asked, “Oh? Why do you want to stay here? What if your father comes to my house?”
Lin Xueyue has already expected this, she smiled and said, “Hello, Auntie Fang and Grandma Su. I come here because I have something to tell both of you. As for Lin Ming? Don’t worry, he won’t come.” Fang Yulan and Grandma Su were surprised when she heard Lin Xueyue call her father ‘Lin Ming’.
Grandma Su seemed to understand something, she smiled gently and invited Lin Xueyue to sit beside her. When everyone already sat around the table, Lin Xueyue’s lips parted gently.
“What I want to say today is all about my mother, Dongfang Mengrou… 17 years ago, she was just a weak woman that couldn’t defy her family and had been forced to married Lin Ming in the end. Because she knew that between her and Tianyun’s father was impossible to be together.”
Fang Yulan frowned, she quickly interrupted Lin Xueyue, “Wait a minute, so Mengrou had been forced from the start? I thought that she was in love with Lin Ming in the first place. When she was given birth to you, at that time I even sent them a blessing. Until that day when Qingshan died, I was so angry at Lin Ming and I expected Mengrou to take you then run away from that man. I’ve been prepared everything and wait for her but she never appeared as per our agreement. After that, they were announced to the world and get married. That’s why I was so angry at her, I thought she was literally betrayed me, it turned out to be…” Lin Xueyue didn’t even have to say anything further, Fang Yulan came into a realization by herself. She had been misunderstanding her best sister, Dongfang Mengrou, the entire time.
Lin Xueyue nodded and continued, “My mother had agreed to be with Lin Ming under 2 conditions. First, everything between her and Lin Ming has to be a secret. Second, Lin Ming has to agree that he will never touch my mother for the rest of his life.”
“What!? And that man still accepted it?” Fang Yulan exclaimed in a surprised. What was the point of having a wife that he couldn’t touch, this Lin Ming was really insane, she thought.
Grandma Su’s brows perked up, she asked, “Wait, then how did she get pregnant?” She was confused.
Lin Xueyue smiled gently, “I was born by a medical technique.” Fang Yulan and Grandma Su were grasped in surprise, their eyes became gentler when they looked at Lin Xueyue.
“As far as I know, Lin family shouldn’t compromise that easily. Why did they agree to these conditions?” Grandma Su asked further.
“It was Great-Grandma Dongfang who given these conditions.” Lin Xueyue replied.
Grandma Su expression became astonished, she asked again to confirm her thoughts, “Great-Grandma Dongfang?…Dongfang Mengqi?”
When she saw Lin Xueyue nodded her head to confirmed about it, she immediately understood everything. Who was Dongfang Mengqi? In the past, she was a legendary figure in the martial world. A beauty that surpassed her peers in that era, and a peerless genius cultivator. She was a figure that every girl had looked up for. Su Qianxue was no exception, to her, Dongfang Mengrou was her goal that she wanted to surpass. However, everything became to an end because she met her husband, Shen Qinghan, and she never regretted it even the slightest.
“It was her last wish before she died.” Lin Xueyue added. Fang Yulan and Grandma Su nodded their head in understanding.
Lin Xueyue has given them a time to digest the information for a while before she continued, “Currently, we are planning to take Lin Ming down but I will not tell you anything right now. I think Auntie Fang should give my mother a call first. Though she never mentioned you before, I’m sure she is really missing you and want to talk with you all this time.”
Fang Yulan fell into deep thought. A moment later, she raised her head and nodded towards Lin Xueyue before walked out of the room to call Dongfang Mengrou. At this moment, Shen Tianyun who was in silence all this time opened his mouth.
“Grandma, Yan’er, I have something very important to tell you. It’s maybe hard to believe but I want both of you to listen until the end first before asking any questions.” He said in a serious voice, Grandma Su and Liu Feiyan only smiled warmly back at him. The level of trust that they had for Shen Tianyun was already the highest, they knew that Shen Tianyun will never lie to them.
Shen Tianyun began to narrating his past life experiences, for Grandma Su, she had listened to this before but this time he didn’t tell her that it was his dream like he did before. On the other hand, Liu Feiyan was grasped in shock every then and there throughout his narration. The moment he finished his narration, Grandma Su and Liu Feiyan fell into a silence. Shen Tianyun and Lin Xueyue smiled at each other without saying any words if it were them who listened to this, they probably shocked to the core like this as well.
Grandma Su slowly said, “So both of you come from another world? And wake up in this world’s body?” With her age, she had experienced countless unbelievable situations but this was the first time that she was so shocked to the soul. What was that? Died in another world and transmigrated into this world, not to mention, they also had the same appearance and same name!.
Liu Feiyan was more shocker than Grandma Su, wasn’t this mean Shen Tianyun in front of her older than her by almost 20 years? She felt that she called him ‘Little Yun’ in the past was a very ridiculous action. However, the complicated in her heart quickly dissipated in a very short moment, wasn’t this man still the same Shen Tianyun that she loved? So what? Even he was a middle-aged man in another world, he was still her beloved Shen Tianyun anyway. She thought.
For Grandma Su, Shen Tianyun didn’t worry that much because she should understand and accept it easier than Liu Feiyan. When he shifted his gaze onto Liu Feiyan, he was surprised because the latter smiled warmly at him. Her expression or her eyes still the same as if the story that she listened to didn’t affect her at all.
“That’s great! Here I was worried that you would hate me for being older than you. I didn’t have to worry anymore.” Liu Feiyan said jokingly, Grandma Su on the side heard this, she couldn’t help but let out a gentle smile as well and nodded her indicated that she could already accept this fact.
Shen Tianyun heaved a sigh of relief. Before this, he was prepared for the worst but the situation turned out to be better than he was expected.
