I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack Novel - Chapter 320
320 Uncanny Resemblance!!
Chu Xiaoqi was in her school uniform.
As it was the winter season, everyone was wearing long pants, with both boys and girls wearing the same clothes.
Chu Xiaoqi’s hair was tied up into a ponytail, and the top of her head appeared a little convex as well. At one glance, she really looked the same as the Bai Family’s second child from over 40 years ago.
Matriarch Bai went into a stupor. She felt as if she had returned to those days. As her eldest son was personally nurtured by Old Master Bai, she could only give all her love to her second son.
!!
Every time she missed her eldest son, the young child would reach out his chubby little hands to wipe off her tears. “Mommy, don’t cry. I’ll definitely not be like my elder brother. I won’t do well in life and will just stay by your side!”
Matriarch Bai was amused by his words, but she lectured him, “That won’t do. You’re so smart, so how can you not do well in life?”
She had given all the best resources she could give to her second son and had been closest to him. From a certain viewpoint, her second son was more like her first child.
Even after she had given birth to her third and fourth children, her relationship with them wasn’t as strong as it was with her second son.
Matriarch Bai took a step forward and reached out her aged hand, wanting to grab Chu Xiaoqi. At this moment, Shen Wanying held her arm and called out. “Grandmother.”
Only then did Matriarch Bai return to reality.
She looked at Chu Xiaoqi once again, only to see that the little girl was different from her second child. She had a pair of phoenix eyes and she was a girl!
Matriarch Bai took a step back, feeling stunned as she realized that she had mistaken her for someone else. However, why did this girl have such a strong resemblance with her second child?
She looked up once again and saw Bai Shanshan and Chu Cimo.
As Chu Xiaoqi wore the same uniform as the Matriarch’s second child back then, she seemed to have a strong resemblance with him at first glance. But she also shared a 50% resemblance with Chu Cimo.
Actually, Bai Shanshan’s features looked more like Bai Jiayao.
Therefore, when Matriarch Bai saw Bai Shanshan, she was even more startled.
When Matriarch Bai was in a daze, Dean Lin Yi took a step forward and introduced both sides to each other, “These are Chu Xiaoqi’s parents.”
She then looked at Matriarch Bai and said, “This is the Bai Family’s matriarch.”
After that, she proceeded to point at Shen Wanying. “And this is Bai Yitong’s mother.”
After the introductions were done, Dean Lin Yi looked at both parties. As someone in the education industry, she wasn’t able to get herself to propose for Bai Shanshan to give up the spot. So she said, “You guys can talk. I’ll go out first.”
After she went out, Shen Wanying waited for Matriarch Bai to bring this up.
However, after waiting for a while, she didn’t hear Matriarch Bai saying anything. She then turned, feeling puzzled, only to see Matriarch Bai staring at Bai Shanshan’s face.
Shen Wanying frowned.
What was going on with Matriarch Bai?
Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, Chu Cimo took a step forward and stood in front of Bai Shanshan and Chu Xiaoqi. The young man who was always frivolous now had his back straightened and asked, “Why are you looking for us?”
Seeing that Matriarch Bai was not saying anything, Shen Wanying went ahead to speak up. “It’s like this, can you guys give up…”
However, before she could finish her words, Matriarch Bai suddenly took a step forward and interrupted her. She then looked straight at Bai Shanshan. “Lass, what is your surname?”
Bai Shanshan. “?”
She couldn’t understand why this old lady was talking like this. She only found the latter amicable and felt a sense of closeness to her. Bai Shanshan then looked at Chu Cimo with deer-like eyes and said, “My surname is Bai.”
Bai…
Matriarch Bai’s eyes gleamed and she took a step forward to grab her hands. “Is your father Bai Jiayao?”
Bai Shanshan was stunned. She shook her head. “My father is named Bai Yao.”
However, Matriarch Bai seemed to have been struck by a realization and she said, “Yao, Yao*… Your father would definitely change her name after leaving the family… Where is your father? Can you bring me to meet him?”
Bai Shanshan’s gaze instantly turned dim. “My father passed away when I was in junior high. Do you know him?”
Passed away?
Matriarch Bai was stunned.
She released Bai Shanshan’s hand. “How could he have died? He was still on the phone with me yesterday…”
Bai Shanshan was perplexed.
However, Shen Wanying, who was at the side, suddenly understood something. She surveyed Bai Shanshan seriously and finally realized that she bore a 70% resemblance with Second Uncle Bai!
Shen Wanying’s heart sank and her fingers clenched tightly.
She immediately took a step forward and said, “Grandmother, did you have a misunderstanding?”
Matriarch Bai was stunned.
Shen Wanying got close to her and said in a suppressed voice, “Second Uncle’s daughter has gone overseas. Have you forgotten about that?”
Matriarch Bai frowned. “But she…”
“She isn’t.” Shen Wanying tightened her fingers.
Only then did Matriarch Bai come to a realization.
She frowned.
Seeing that Matriarch Bai wasn’t in the right condition, Shen Wanying wondered how she was going to negotiate.
Therefore, even though her original plan was to let Matriarch Bai take the lead while she stood at the back, she had no choice but to take things into her own hands now.
Shen Wanying took a deep breath and went up to Bai Shanshan. She suddenly said, “Miss Bai, our Bai Family’s business is planning to change the spokesperson of our toothbrush brand. Would you be interested in that?”
Bai Shanshan was stunned. “What?”
She had debuted as a singer. Although back then Yan Zijing had become very popular due to Bai Shanshan’s voice and had become a first-rate singer, Bai Shanshan was in an awkward position recently.
She had never been the spokesperson for any product. Basically, the capitalists didn’t feel assured by her influencing power.
Moreover, some people felt that she was also lying to the public by singing for Yan Zijing. They spoke badly about her needlessly for a very long time. Therefore, there hadn’t been good offers for her.
Moreover, Shen Qianhui wanted to nurture her in the direction of becoming a heavenly queen, so she would definitely not take on bad offers.
As a result, Bai Shanshan hadn’t become a spokesperson for any products yet.
Hearing Shen Wanying’s words, she felt puzzled. “For this, you’ll have to talk to my manager…”
Shen Wanying. “?”
Even Chu Cimo’s lips also twitched.
He was usually naive enough, but he didn’t expect Bai Shanshan to be even more innocent.
He directly asked, “What do you want?”
Shen Wanying smiled and looked at him. “Mr. Chu, you’re a smart person. I want Chu Xiaoqi to reject becoming Sparton’s student.”
Chu Cimo immediately said, “That’s impossible!”
His Xiaoqi depended on the fact that she didn’t have any capabilities and didn’t know anything to get the position. Why should she give it up?
Shen Wanying immediately replied, “I heard that the Chu Family wishes to develop in the capital but hasn’t been accepted by others. However, our Bai Family is willing to give you some help.”
The moment she said this, Chu Cimo was stumped.
There was another meaning to Shen Wanying’s words—If Chu Xiaoqi refused to give up the spot, then the Bai Family would target the Chu Family!
When the matter involved the Chu Family, it wasn’t just his problem alone.
He fell quiet and didn’t say anything.
Shen Wanying was planning to continue pushing when Matriarch Bai suddenly said, “This matter can’t be decided in just one or two days. Let them go back and think about it first.”
Shen Wanying narrowed her eyes but didn’t rebuke Matriarch Bai’s words. “That’s right. Mr. Chu probably can’t make the decision on this matter either. You can go back and discuss this with your elder brother. We’ll wait for your good news.”
She then looked at Bai Shanshan. “I hope that we’ll be able to have a good cooperation.”
Chu Cimo glared at her and then brought Bai Shanshan and Chu Xiaoqi to leave the room.
After they left, Shen Wanying looked at Matriarch Bai. She was just about to say something when Matriarch Bai said, “Go and see what Lin Yi is doing. Call her in.”
Shen Wanying nodded. “Alright.”
After Shen Wanying went out, Matriarch Bai immediately looked at her butler.
Butler Bai was Matriarch Bai’s butler and was the most loyal to her.
Matriarch Bai asked, “Do you feel that…”
“They look alike! They look very much alike!” The butler nodded.
Matriarch Bai took a deep breath. “Go and help do a DNA test for Bai Shanshan and me.”
