But Wu Yanyun was unlike any of them.
Wu Dalong and Wu Erlong were a bit shy, hiding behind Wu Yanyun, afraid to address anyone, and quietly sizing up Ni Yang.
"This sister is so pretty, even prettier than our own older sister!"
Ni Yang then said, "Yanyun, my home is nearby. Why don’t you bring your two brothers over to play?" Every time she saw Wu Yanyun, she felt a sense of affection, which is why she invited Wu Yanyun to visit her home.
Moreover, Wu Yanyun didn’t resemble her parents, while one brother resembled their father and the other resembled their mother. Given that Wu Yanyun’s parents were also from Haicheng City, Ni Yang even now harbored a bold suspicion!
Wu Yanyun was worried about her family, "I can’t today, my mom is waiting for the soy sauce and salt I need to bring back for cooking."
Ni Yang took Wu Yanyun’s wrist directly, "Come on, come on. My mother and I have only been in Beijing for two years and don’t have many friends. Your brothers and you visiting us would certainly make my parents and my grandparents very happy. It’s just after three now, still early for cooking."
Ni Yang’s enthusiasm made it hard for Wu Yanyun to refuse.
The Zheng family’s place wasn’t far; it was a mere five-minute walk away.
Standing in front of the glittering and splendid villa, Wu Yanyun was extremely shocked.
She had passed by this villa every day on her way to school but had never thought that Ni Yang actually lived here.
Wu Dalong and Wu Erlong were also very surprised, tugging at Wu Yanyun’s sleeve quietly, "Big sister, this place is so beautiful."
The villa had servants, and the décor was luxurious, which made Wu Yanyun feel somewhat restrained. Although she wasn’t dirty, she was wearing patched clothes, even the servants of the Zheng family wore better than her.
Fortunately, the Zheng family’s servants were all well-mannered, without any hint of a strange look, and Ni Yang didn’t look down on her, keeping her arm linked with Wu Yanyun’s the whole walk over.
The butler brought over several plates of exquisite pastries and beverages.
Ni Yang asked, "Where’s my mom?"
"Madam is upstairs," the butler replied.
Ni Yang said, "Life is not like a novel. My mother and I only started to have better days in the past two years. Before that, we were living in Dam Village. Our grandmother valued boys over girls. Right after my mother had a few sisters, she was thrown behind the mountain to feed the wolves. We decided to come to Beijing only when we couldn’t go on living like that. Thinking back on that life now, it feels like a dream." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
