Turns Out, I'm from a Real Aristocratic Family!

“Yes!” Butler Wen knew that Old Mr. Wen was about to escape, so he responded with utmost deference. Old Sir’s demeanor was practically screaming for someone to escort Cheng Yuqi out!

Cheng Yuqi hadn’t anticipated the dramatic shift in Old Master Bo’s attitude toward her after Fang Yuan had entered the scene. Her expression grew increasingly uncomfortable. While Old Master Bo had ostensibly asked Butler Wen to entertain her, it was evident that he wished to see her off. How could she possibly save face by lingering any longer? That country bumpkin, Fang Yuan, must be relishing in her discomfort. What right did she have to garner Old Master Bo’s favor so swiftly?

“Given that Grandpa is occupied, I shall return another day,” Cheng Yuqi announced, leaving her gift behind. “Butler Wen, kindly pass these on to Grandpa.”

“Lady Yuqi, the doctor advised against giving the old man nourishing tonics due to his frail condition,” Butler Wen said respectfully. “You should take these home as a sign of respect for your parents.”

“Butler Wen…” Cheng Yuqi hadn’t anticipated that even the old servant who had previously treated her with respect would now keep his distance.

“Someone, assist me in transporting Lady Yuqi’s belongings to her car,” Butler Wen understood her intentions. Wasn’t she still harboring hopes of becoming the Young Madam of the Bo family? Unfortunately, the Young Master had set his sights on Miss Fang Yuan, and the Old Master was quite taken with her as well. Did she think she could introduce a third party into this equation? There wasn’t even a crack in the door, let alone a window!

Meanwhile,

After completing her tasks, Fang Yuan reached for her phone and dialed Qiao Xinhui’s number. “Mom, you don’t need to prepare dinner for me tonight…”

Before she could explain, Qiao Xinhui interrupted joyfully, “I understand. Old Master Bo called and mentioned that he was discharged from the hospital today, and he’d like to invite you over for dinner.”

Fang Yuan hadn’t anticipated her grandfather personally informing her mother about such a minor matter, and her heart swelled with warmth.

Qiao Xinhui went on, “He also mentioned that you once saved him! Although he didn’t divulge the details, he couldn’t stop praising you. He seems very pleased with the idea of you becoming his granddaughter-in-law!”

Fang Yuan was taken aback by her grandfather’s mention of this and slightly surprised. Fortunately, her grandfather didn’t delve into the specifics, or…

“Baby Yuanyuan, why didn’t I know you had saved someone? You’re truly incredible!”

While Qiao Xinhui was overjoyed, she couldn’t help but think that the Fang family was irrational. Not only did they fail to cherish such a obedient, sensible, and remarkable child, but they had also posted her on a family matchmaking website! Their judgment must have been clouded!

“Yuanyuan, darling, spend some quality time with the old man tonight…” Qiao Xinhui continued for a moment before ending the call.

Cheng Yuqi had just returned home when she overheard Qiao Xinhui mentioning that Fang Yuan had saved Grandpa Bo. As the call concluded, she asked in astonishment, “Sister saved Grandpa Bo?”

“That’s correct! I only found out when I spoke with Old Master Bo! I had no idea Yuanyuan was so modest!” Qiao Xinhui held a deep affection for her daughter, finding her increasingly endearing.

Cheng Yuqi speculated that Fang Yuan must have been present when Grandpa Bo was in distress and perhaps performed CPR or some other emergency aid. Could it be that she had won Grandpa Bo’s favor? She knew how to administer such first aid too! It wasn’t that complicated, and she had been taught at school. Unfortunately, she hadn’t had the opportunity to demonstrate it to Grandpa Bo. If she had, he would undoubtedly prefer her over that rustic bumpkin!

In the evening,

Bo Desong waited eagerly at the doorway, and at last, he spotted two familiar figures approaching.

Bo Yi was by Fang Yuan’s side, holding onto her arm with an affectionate demeanor that brought a subtle smile to Bo Desong’s lips.

“Yuanyuan, you’ve finally arrived! Were you tired from work? Please, come in quickly…” Bo Desong addressed the household servants, “This is our Young Madam. I expect you all to treat her with the utmost respect in the future.” “Good evening, Young Madam!” The servants stood in orderly fashion, casting warm smiles toward Fang Yuan. It was evident they had been waiting there for quite some time, as a few of them sported beads of sweat on their foreheads and slightly rumpled attire.

Fang Yuan was left momentarily speechless. Such an extravagant reception seemed rather unnecessary…

“Hello,” Fang Yuan nodded and followed Bo Yi into the house.

The courtyard was adorned with charming flora and fauna – little rabbits, kittens, puppies… Fang Yuan couldn’t help but wonder why her grandfather had opted for such a cute design.

Bo Yi also noticed the transformations in this place. Everything appeared brand new, hinting at recent cleaning and redecoration efforts. Clearly, someone was keen on making a favorable impression on Yuanyuan.

“Yuanyuan, are you hungry? Dinner is ready!” Bo Desong escorted her to the dining room.

The four chefs and eight servants greeted her with deep bows, their manners impeccable.

Fang Yuan thought to herself, “Do they really need to be so formal?”
