Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 207: Moving Into The Yu Family

Of course, only Yu Shijin himself knew if he was seeking her for an answer, or because he was worried about her.

All of the Su Corporation people knew Yu Shijin.

In particular, Xie Zhengyuan and several others had worked with him before.

“Didn’t she tell you?” Xie Zhengyuan shot Yu Shijin a meaningful look. “She has gone to Country H.”

Country H.

Yu Shijin stood there, tall and poised before them. That chiselled face was impassive, but his brows seemed to have furrowed just a little at Xie Zhengyuan’s words.

“Thank you.” He thanked Xie Zhengyuan before turning to leave.

After he left, Su Zhi looked at Xie Zhengyuan with a vexed expression. “Qingqing told us not to tell anyone about her going to Country H, especially… Mr. Yu. Why did you do that?”

“It’s fine.” Xie Zhengyuan sighed. “There are some things which you don’t know about.”

Doctor Luxe was at Unknown Island.

As a result, Xie Zhengyuan was well aware of everything that happened at Unknown Island.

Although he didn’t say anything, he had his suspicions about Su Huiqing’s identity.

Most people didn’t know about Chi Qing’s exile from Unknown Island. But it created an uproar among the higher powers, second only to Country H.

Xie Zhengyuan didn’t know how Su Huiqing felt, on this trip to Country H. But the least he could do was to inform Yu Shijin.

He believed that Yu Shijin would never harm her.

Yu Shijin led his men to the airport, not even bothering to pack.

“Boss, the border security of Country H is stringent. People are allowed to enter, but not allowed to leave.” Chief detective brought him a cup of warm water.

Yu Shijin accepted the cup with one hand, while pressing his forehead with the other. He said simply, “Purpose.”

“Capture Su S.” Chief detective had hesitated in answering when he noticed Yu Shijin’s sickly pallor.

“Capture?” Yu Shijin smirked. “Have the arrangements at Country H been made?”

Chief detective nodded. “Nearly all completed.”

Yu Shijin drank the water before slowly closing his eyes. He didn’t open his mouth again.

Seeing that, the chief detective quietly left.

Meanwhile…

The Yu Family residences.

Dugu Wu and the Dugu Family matriarch arrived at the Yu Family residence.

“Madam Yu, we have had many misunderstandings in the past. I have brought you some gifts and hope that you will forgive us.” The Dugu Family matriarch waved and had her men carry a box in.

The box was opened.

It was filled with expensive and rare items.

Ning Baokun’s eyes lit up.

She was Yu Shijin’s mother, but in reality, before Yu Shijin returned, she was basically a nobody in the Yu Family. The Dugu Family matriarch’s high status was something she could only covet from afar.

Now, the Dugu Family matriarch was not only treating her so politely, she had even personally brought her such expensive gifts.

As a result, she felt very pleased and smug.

“There’s no need to be so polite.” Ning Baokun held Dugu Wu’s hand, a smile on her face. “We are going to be one big family in future anyway.”

She heard that Dugu Wu was the Dugu Family’s only descendant, and was the apple of everyone’s eye. She naturally looked at Dugu Wu with approving eyes.

“Oh yes. Shijin seems to have fallen ill recently.” Ning Baokun’s eyes flashed. “I heard that Little Wu is very good at cooking. Why don’t you move over there to take care of him? Anyway, you will be one family in future. Just take it as a chance to get familiar with each other. He has his own room over at the main building.”

Dugu Wu and the Dugu Family matriarch exchanged looks. Their eyes were filled with delight.

“I shouldn’t do this without Master Yu’s agreement?” Dugu Wu bit her lips.

“Don’t worry, I am his mother. I have the final say.” Ning Baokun waved her worries away. “Let’s go, I will bring you two over.”

This was also the first time Ning Baokun would be visiting Yu Shijin’s lodgings.

The furnishings were classic and elegant. It was luxurious but low-profile.

Dugu Wu’s heart pounded.

The Dugu Family also had a house like this, but it had been locked up by Dugu Heng. No one was allowed to enter. She never expected for the Yu Family to have given something like that to Yu Shijin.

She followed behind Ning Baokun and the Dugu Family matriarch, scheming all the way.

Yu Shijin had already left the International Association by then. Only the servants were left behind.

And the servants were not exceptionally hospitable toward those three ladies sitting on the sofa.

“Where’s Shijin?” Ning Baokun asked.

Someone answered with lowered eyes. “The Young Master has gone out and won’t be back for some time.”

“Gone out?” Ning Baokun frowned but didn’t appear too concerned. She just glanced at Dugu Wu. “Although Shijin is not around, you can move in first and get used to the place. You have to stay here in future anyway.”

Dugu Wu lowered her head, pretending to be bashful.

Things were thus settled. Ning Baokun had the servants lead Dugu Wu upstairs to choose a room.

She immediately picked the bedroom opposite Yu Shijin’s.

“It has just been newly renovated.” Ning Baokun was all smiles as she had the servant open the door. “Little Wu, look. This pale blue furniture set, is it the one that you liked? Also, these clothes. They are all tailor-made by international designers. It looks like Shijin has already prepared everything.”

Dugu Wu and the Dugu Family matriarch were also somewhat surprised.

“Madam, this is the room which the Young Master has prepared for Ms Su.” One of the servants finally couldn’t resist speaking up.

She knew about Ms Su. That night, she had personally witnessed Yu Shijin applying medicine for Ms Su.

That was the first time in her life seeing the young master behaving so gently toward anyone.

As a result, she couldn’t help speaking up when Ning Baokun barged into this room with a couple of strangers in tow.

Ning Baokun unfolded an outfit. It was exquisitely made. Taking a quick look at the sizing, she discovered that it was clearly not meant for Dugu Wu.

Her face darkened.

Ms Su?

Dugu Wu and the Dugu Family matriarch were now instinctively revolted by that surname.

Su? Why was it Su again?!

But Dugu Wu didn’t show her feelings. She just glanced cautiously at Ning Baokun. “Auntie…”

“Who is this Ms Su?!” Ning Baokun cried out angrily. “Throw away all the clothes and everything else in here! Move Ms Dugu Wu’s belongings into this room immediately!”

In her heart, the Yu Family and the Dugu Family had a marriage contract.

Dugu Wu had a high status and was very obedient. She was everything she wanted in a daughter-in-law. As a result, she naturally sided with her.

As for this Ms Su, whom she had never heard of before, she had utterly no regard for her.

“Auntie, are you sure about that? After all, this is Master Yu’s…” Dugu Wu lowered her head, unable to continue.

“You don’t need to bother about that. Shijin is in the wrong. You are his rightful fiance, not this Ms Su or Ms Li or whoever?” Ning Baokun had never heard of the surname Su in the International Association. “I will reprimand him when he returns.”

Ning Baokun had the servants throw away everything in the room.

The servants exchanged looks, but none of them dared to oppose Ning Baokun.

Everyone knew that she was Yu Shijin’s mother.

Even the elders had to respect her.

But they remained very indignant. They did not like Dugu Wu’s attitude.

Moving in just like that without the young master’s permission.

More importantly, they were throwing out the things meant for Ms Su!

It was too much!

“From today onwards, Ms Dugu Wu will be staying here. No one is to treat her with any disrespect.” Ning Baokun gazed imperiously at the servants. “Anyone who disrespects her will be kicked out of the Yu Family! Do you hear me?!”

All the servants were stunned.

Ning Baokun was definitely capable of kicking them out of the Yu Family.

“Madam, we will take good care of Ms Dugu Wu,” The servants immediately answered.

Satisfied, Ning Baokun turned and held Dugu Wu’s hands. “You just stay here and wait for Shijin to return.”

Dugu Wu was delighted when she saw her belongings slowly taking over the room.

Everything here was exquisitely made.

She silently resolved to marry into the Yu Family no matter what. Whether it was for the sake of her position in the Dugu Family, or for her future.

“Auntie, you mentioned that Master Yu was recently taken ill. How did he go out on his own? Should we go find him?” Dugu Wu noted the look that the Dugu Family matriarch gave her. A sick person was at his most vulnerable.

“Well, I don’t know where he is…” Ning Baokun looked at Dugu Wu’s concerned expression and frowned. She seldom saw Yu Shijin and usually had no idea where he was. “I will go ask the family head later.”

“Mmm, thank you, Auntie.” Dugu Wu lowered her head.
