“Auntie Yue…”
Weiai was equally shocked and held her hand in happiness. “Auntie Yue, when did you return?”
Auntie Yue had worked for the Xia Family for many years and watched Weiai grow up. Even though they were supposedly master and servant, they had a close relationship. However, not long ago, something happened at home for Auntie Yue and she had to take leave to go home.
“Young Mistress, you are fine? This is great, this is really great.”
Auntie Yue regained her senses and spoke excitedly.
To this, Weiai felt warm-hearted and smiled. “Where is my father?”
This was just a simple question, but it made Auntie Yue’s expression freeze as if it was a hard question to answer.
Seeing this, Weiai got nervous. Could it be that something had happened to her father?!
Just when she was worried and was about to ask, a coquettish voice came from inside the house suddenly. “Daddy, these clothes are beautiful, I love them! Thank you, Daddy.”
Weiai’s body flinched when she heard those words.
Very quickly, she looked past Auntie Yue into the house.
She saw two people walking slowly down the stairs.
The girl was of a similar age to her and she was dressed in a yellow, expensive-looking dress with a bright smile on her face. Right next to her was a middle-aged man whose face was filled with love and affection.
They were holding hands and it appeared like they had a close relationship.
“Mummy, look at the new dress that daddy bought for me!”
The young girl ran towards the sofa and twirled around.
On the sofa sat a lady. There was a gentle look on her face as she pulled the young girl towards her. “You are so young, you should not spend money recklessly!”
As the lady spoke, the little girl pouted her lips and looked towards the middle-aged man. “Daddy, look at mummy! When did I spend money recklessly…”
“Xinlan, don’t be too harsh on her! Since Kexin likes it, I should buy it for her.”
Xia Tianze smiled and chided, after which he sat in between Meng Xinlan and Meng Kexin.
At the end, the cheerful Meng Kexin seemed to have thought of something and sighed. “Where exactly is Weiai? This is the first time she had left home for so long. I am so worried about her.”
These words pierced Weiai’s hearts. She thought about what happened to her and how her father was unaware of this. At that moment, she felt a pang of sadness and wanted to cry.
If she did not guess wrongly, this young girl should be Meng Xinlan’s daughter.
Why was this happening? Meng Xinlan had already replaced the position of her mother and almost ruined her. And now, her daughter was going to snatch her father away from her!
Thinking about how she was not related by blood to her father, Weiai clenched her fists.
“Tianze, don’t worry, Weiai might just be playful and went overseas for a trip! I have asked the school about it, she did take a leave of absence and she should be back anytime soon.”
At the side, Meng Xinlan assured him gently. However, there was a cold glint in her eyes.
Come back? She would probably never come back again!
Weiai gave a smirk while listening to Meng Xinlan speak as anger swallowed her and she totally forgot about what Ning Yuan told her previously.
She was just about to rush in and expose her lies.
However, someone beat her to it and she felt a pat on her shoulder. “Younger sister, when did you come back? You little girl, how can you behave so rashly and leave home for such a long time. How worrying…”
This sentence was mixed with warmness.
Hearing the familiar voice, Weiai’s iris contracted and she turned around slowly.
A clean, gentle-looking man entered her eyes. It was as if he came from the heavens and was radiating light. Xu Tianchen, the man she was in love with, the person that she kept in her heart was right in front of her.
A lump formed into Weiai’s throat and tears threatened to fall out of her eyes. “Big Brother Xu…”
She cried.
Xu Tianchen was shocked and smiled helplessly. Hugging her just like in the past, he comforted her gently. “Little sister, don’t cry. No matter what happened, it is good that you are back now…”
The commotion at the doorstep could be heard from the living room.
At that moment, the three people in the living room turned their heads to look over.
