Negotiation

Shen Xueran went back to her grandfather's manor again. She didn't enjoy living there even if there were so many things she could use freely. Those things were not her own, she was using them for the time being. She also felt uncomfortable since the place had so many unknown people. She was missing her mother and A'che, also her own room.

That was a place she could call 'Home'. So she decided to talk with her grandpa to go back home. When she arrived, he was already sitting on the sofa, waiting for her.

"Hello Grandpa, I'm back!" Shen Xueran smiled looking at him.

"You're here. Come come, sit here. I have something to talk with you," Grandpa Shen motioned for her to sit beside him.

She put the bag aside and sat beside him obediently, waiting for him to start talking.

"What is it, Grandfather?" She was curious about what he wanted to say.

"Ahem… You see, tomorrow night, there will be a Charity party at Su Grand Palace. An auction would be held there in the party."

"Since you have started to take successor lessons, I suggest you should go there to show your face for a little time. If possible, you can make friends with young heirs to other families as well."

"So what do you think? Do you want to go or not?"

"If you don't want to, then it's ok. There is no hurry."

She understood Grandpa Shen's intentions. He wanted to announce her as the Young heir in public, so others wouldn't be able to criticize her, and also Shen Ming wouldn't have an opportunity to introduce Shen Mu as the Heir to other people.

This was good, but Shen Xueran had an even better reason to go on that charity auction. If She can make amends with her Grandfather, then she can bring her mother along with her, too.

In this way, she can spend some time with her mother, and also negotiate with Shen Cheng about going home.

This auction was for high class families in the capital, that means all the rich families were going to attend there.

'I wonder if Luo Jingcheng is also going to attend here?'

Considering all the possibilities, Shen Xueran looked up and smiled at Grandpa Shen.

"Well, I can go. But there is something I need. Can Grandpa make an arrangement for this?"

"What do you want? Just name it, I'll give it to you right away!" Grandpa Shen was actually happy, because this was the first time his grandson wanted something from him.

"Nothing much. Just get an invitation for my mother. I want her to go there, I miss her," Shen Xueran said with a longing voice.

It has been a while since she parted with her mother, it was natural for kids to miss their mother, so Shen Cheng understood.

"Alright. But that was for your mother, I'll have someone to send her one. Don't you want anything from me, for yourself?" Grandpa Shen wanted to give her something just for her. So he was eagerly waiting for her reply.

She also saw him waiting with a lot of expectations. The previous owner ignored him, but it was not the same case for Shen Xue. She was happy to have a father figure like her Grandpa. So she smiled at him sincerely.

"Hmm… then If I bid something at the auction, help me buy that thing, that's all."

This auction was also mentioned in the novel, she wanted to use this opportunity to turn over a new leaf for her mother, and this charity party was just a starting.

Grandpa Shen was happy. So he agreed quickly.

"Alright. Then you should go back to fresh up, dinner will be served soon," Grandpa Shen said happily.

Shen Xueran got up and went back to her room. The butler who was looking at Grandpa Shen was astonished. It has been many years since he saw the Old Master smile like this. So he felt really grateful to Shen Xueran for this harmonious atmosphere.

He went to the kitchen so he could supervise serving dinner for the Old Master and the Young Master.

Shen Xueran took a bath as usual and sat at the computer. After logging in, she saw an email was waiting for her already. She opened the mail with curiosity. The mail directed to her described that it was a confirmation mail on her job.

The Undercover has appointed her as an official member. There is an address below that indicates where their base was located.

A welcome email with an appointed job finally put her mind at ease. She has to be there at the exact time and location to officially introduce herself and to start her job.

So she happily logged out and shut the computer before going to eat dinner. So Many things have happened in one day that Shen Xueran forgot an important scene that was coming soon.

A/N: Guess what she forgot? :D
