Chapter 239: Shui Ling Shuang Effortlessly Manages Her Two Daughters
At this moment, Shui Ling Shuang, who should have returned to her own room, suddenly appeared outside ‘Room 9’.
She listened for a moment to the sounds inside, a slight smile curving her lips, and then she reached out and twisted the number ‘9’ on the doorplate. Instantly, the doorplate rotated halfway, turning the ‘9’ directly into a ‘6’.
She then stepped away and walked to the door of the real Room 9, pushed it open, and entered.
“Bai… Shui Ling Shuang? Why is it you? Where’s Bai Yu? Why didn’t he come over? Did that guy run back after all?”
Shui Yue’er saw the door open and thought it was Bai Yu, but to her surprise, the person who walked in was Shui Ling Shuang.
Then, a look of displeasure appeared on Shui Yue’er’s face, and she thought to herself, that scoundrel, he wouldn’t even stay when I invited him! I’ll definitely make him pay tomorrow!
Shui Ling Shuang looked at the grumbling Shui Yue’er, a flicker of apology in her eyes that immediately vanished, her expression turning troubled.
“Yue’er, I want to ask you for a favor, and I hope you can agree.”
Shui Yue’er’s expression froze, and she looked at Shui Ling Shuang with some surprise, wondering what matter her Shui Ling Shuang could possibly need her help with.
“Shui Ling Shuang, tell me, I’ll definitely agree. But if it’s something that can trouble you, I probably can’t solve it myself. You must be asking me to find Bai Yu, right?”
“Don’t worry, Shui Ling Shuang, if that scoundrel dares to stand me up, even if I have to be unreasonable with him, I’ll make him agree!”
Shui Yue’er raised her small fist, expressing her dissatisfaction with Bai Yu’s departure.
Shui Ling Shuang shook her head and said somewhat awkwardly:
“It’s not about finding Bai Yu. I just want to ask you, Yue’er, to let your sister, Shui Bing’er, also stay with you in Spirit Hall.”
Shui Yue’er blinked, a look of pleasant surprise on her face. To be honest, staying in Spirit City by herself made her feel a little uneasy.
If Shui Bing’er could also come with her, that would be wonderful. Having someone familiar by her side would make her feel much more at ease, even in an unfamiliar place.
“Bing’er is going to stay with me too? I’m overjoyed, Shui Ling Shuang, why do you say ‘ask’? Just let her stay and…”
“Uh, Shui Ling Shuang, you don’t mean you want Bing’er to also become Bai Yu’s girlfriend, like me, do you?”
Shui Yue’er’s eyes instantly widened, looking at Shui Ling Shuang in disbelief.
She was just a lovesick girl, not an idiot. Since Shui Ling Shuang said she was asking for a favor, it couldn't be as simple as just staying.
And the only possibility for her to ask for help was concerning her boyfriend, the Spirit Hall Saint Child.
Hearing Shui Yue’er’s question, Shui Ling Shuang didn’t reply but instead nodded, her face slightly flushed.
For Shui Ling Shuang, as half a helmsman of the Shui family and the dean of Tianshui Academy, she had schemed against many people in her life.
But this time, scheming against Shui Yue’er made her feel quite ashamed!
After all, although Shui Yue’er wasn’t her biological daughter, she was like one. So, this time, she hadn’t left out either of her two daughters; she had schemed against both of them.
Shui Yue’er smacked her lips, looking at Shui Ling Shuang with some curiosity. She wasn’t angry; if Shui Bing’er could also be with Bai Yu, she would wholeheartedly support it.
After all, with her sister’s temperament, she looked peaceful but was actually very proud. If she stayed in the Shui family as the family head, it would be hard for her to find a husband later.
Shui Yue’er also felt very pained at the thought of Shui Bing’er living a lonely life.
“Shui Ling Shuang, I don’t object. I can also talk to Bai Yu. He already has so many people, one more isn’t a big deal.”
“Besides, that guy looks proper, but in reality, he accepts everyone. With a great beauty like Shui Bing’er throwing herself at him, he’d be more than happy.”
“However, Shui Ling Shuang, are you confident you can persuade Bing’er? Under the cultivation of you elders, Bing’er is determined to be a good Shui family head.”
“Now, if you suddenly ask her to marry, it will probably be very difficult!”
Shui Yue’er spoke while pouting. To be honest, she disliked the way the elders in her family taught them.
So, from childhood, she was somewhat rebellious. However, because her talent was only average to above average, the family’s demands on her weren’t too high.
But Shui Bing’er was different. Her talent was top-notch, and the family placed high hopes on her. And Shui Bing’er truly lived up to being the ‘child from another family’ that the elders spoke of.
Whether it was spirit power cultivation or family management, she did everything admirably. This also led to the elders paying more attention to her, investing more in her, wanting her to grow up and repay the family.
This series of actions led to Shui Bing’er now basically thinking only of the family, with other matters being secondary.
Seeing that Shui Yue’er didn’t object, Shui Ling Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. For her, Shui Bing’er was indeed difficult, but as her biological mother, it was still very easy to manage her.
The most important thing was Shui Yue’er. If Shui Yue’er didn’t agree, then this matter would be difficult.
It was estimated that if Shui Yue’er showed even a little opposition, that girl Bing’er would directly return to Tianshui City and would have a lot of opinions about her biological mother.
That’s why she came clean with Shui Yue’er and asked her to let Shui Bing’er stay.
“Hehe, it’s good that you agree, Yue’er. As for Bing’er’s opinion, that’s not important. Now, even if she wants to disagree, she can’t.”
Shui Yue’er looked at Shui Ling Shuang’s relaxed expression, huge question marks appearing above her head.
“Um… Shui Ling Shuang, I’m not trying to discourage you, but that girl Bing’er is very stubborn. If she doesn’t agree, your words might not be effective.”
Shui Ling Shuang waved her hand and walked to Shui Yue’er’s bed, sitting down.
“It’s fine. Didn’t you ask earlier if Bai Yu went back? I’ll tell you, he didn’t go back.”
“Just now, I told him you were waiting for him in your room and asked him to go to Room 9 to find you. He’s already gone.”
“Ah?”
Shui Yue’er’s mouth dropped open, the question marks above her head growing even larger.
“Bai Yu came to find me? Then where is he? Did he get lost? Or did he pass out drunk in some corner?”
“No, I need to go find him quickly!”
Just as Shui Yue’er was about to get up and leave to look for Bai Yu, Shui Ling Shuang pulled her back.
“He didn’t get lost, nor did he pass out drunk. He’s already entered Room 9. It’s just that the Room 9 he entered had its doorplate rotated halfway by me beforehand.”
Shui Yue’er froze. What did she mean by rotating the doorplate halfway beforehand? What number was it before it was rotated? If 9 was flipped, wouldn’t it be 6?
“Bing’er’s room? Bai Yu entered Bing’er’s room? So, Shui Ling Shuang, your plan was to let them cook the rice until it’s done?”
“But that’s not right. How could Bing’er just let herself be manipulated so obediently? Even if Bai Yu went in, what good would it do?”
“Shui Ling Shuang, don’t think Bai Yu would use force. Although that guy is an LSP, he would never do something like that.”
