The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex Chapter 548 - Meeting of the Sisters (2)

Chapter 548: Meeting of the Sisters (2)

Shu Man pursed her lips awkwardly. She had already noticed the woman standing nearby who bore a resemblance to her, her sister.

Her sister was wearing a long tweed coat with a tartan skirt and long black boots with a brown beret which made her look like an elegant lady at an imperial court.

She looked at herself and saw a girl with messy hair, a face that was completely devoid of makeup, and a large downy jacket that reached to her knees. She was wrapped as warmly as a dumpling.

Their styles didn’t match at all.

“h.e.l.lo… Mrs. Ye,” Shu Man said and took the initiative to stretch out her hand. She smiled awkwardly as she greeted Mrs. Ye.

“He Yiyi…” He Xiyan was so happy that she burst into tears and wrapped her arms tightly around the girl in front of her. Her heart raced wildly, full of pleasure and happiness.

She really hoped that her parents were still alive so that they could see that her younger sister was alive and well. She knew that they’d be equally thrilled.

Shu Man stood stiffly in He Xiyan’s arms and had a complicated expression on her face. Her arms hung limply by her side as she allowed her sister to hug her but she didn’t know what to say in response.

She only gave her a small smile when He Xiyan finally let go and said, “Mrs. Ye, I’m Shu Man, not He Yiyi.”

This name was extremely foreign to her and she had no recollection of this name at all.

He Xiyan wiped the tears from her eyes and her eyes were full of happiness and excitement. These were all feelings that she hadn’t felt in a long while.

“Shu Man…” she called out her younger sister’s name and realized that she didn’t exist in her sister’s memories, and neither did her parents.

Shu Man’s mother walked over and shot her daughter a look as she tried to use her eyes to tell Shu Man to treat He Xiyan with more warmth. However, her daughter had always been slow to warm up to strangers.

Shu Man understood what her mother was trying to tell her but she didn’t feel anything toward this so-called relative of hers. Didn’t they just meet?

“Mum…” Shu Man addressed her mother and linked her arm through her mother’s. This was her closest relative in her eyes.

“This is my mother, Mrs. Ye,” Shu Man continued to address He Xiyan as Mrs. Ye since she couldn’t bring herself to address her as ‘sister’.

He Xiyan smiled and didn’t get angry even though she spoke to her so distantly.

She walked over and shook Shu Man’s mother’s hand as she said, “Thank you, Madam Shu, for all the love and care you’ve shown my sister over the years.”

Madam Shu smiled kindly and felt that she didn’t deserve such grat.i.tude. She quickly shook her head and said, “There’s no need to thank me, Mrs. Ye. Man Man is my daughter.” It was her duty to raise and care for her daughter and her husband and herself had also been well taken care of in their later years because of Shu Man.

The chefs had already served more than 10 dishes.

They had even prepared several bottles of good wine.

He Xiyan led her sister and Madam Shu to this luxurious spread and the utensils displayed on the dining table were worth at least several tens of thousands for one set.

Ye Hao took the initiative to serve both mother and daughter a cup of fresh fruit juice and gestured for them to sit.

He behaved like a perfect gentleman and smiled politely at them the entire time. All he wanted was for his wife to be happy and she had finally found her younger sister.
