After a long long car drive Xia Yao Xing and Xia family Butler reached at the Xia Mansion entrance.
Butler Nang glanced at Xia Yao Xing and wanted to find the excitement to enter into this huge mansion but to his shock Xia Yao Xing didn't even took interest or initiative to get in. Butler Nang looked at her expression to analyse more but failed.
The 10 years old child who was just been separated by her family was not at all interested to enter into this huge mansion in front of her. She was still not out of her sorrow, how can this stupid Butler expect her to be excited. Hmph!
The car went in and they both got out of the car while a security guard took the car away. The expression on this girls face was nearly same even though she entered an enormous mansion with a expensive interior. In fact the girl looked more glumy as she entered more into the mansion.
The Butler took her into the Hall and made her wait before instructing some maids near by to inform everyone about her arrival.
5 minutes passed...
A girl similar to her age came down elegantly from the staircase. She came to Xia Yao Xing and turned two rounds around her before breaking into a huge dole and then God knows why but hugged Xia Yao Xing tightly crushing her as if she was a peace of paper.
Xia Yao Xing couldn't understand what's going on and looked puzzled at first but soon got the idea that the unknown girl is welcoming her. She replied the hug by slightly folding her hands around the girl.
The hugging girls suddenly broke the hug when she felt Xia Yao Xing's hands on herself. She happily looked at the old figure at the far away side if the hall and dragged Xia Yao Xing to the figure excitedly by holding her hand tightly nearly harming Xia Yao Xing's wrist.
When they both arrived near the man, who was holding a steady stick and was looking like an elder. Xia Yao Xing looked at him nervously while the excited girls said, "Look Grandpa my little sister is hear.", again by holding Xia Yao Xing in a semi sideline hug while Xia Yao Xing was surprised to hear the girl. She looked at the excited figure and felt comfortable thinking 'I guess I don't have to worry. Sister is so cute she will take care of me until Mom and Dad come look for me.'
The man looked at the excited figure as doting grandpa and a smile crept on his lips when he looked at the now reunited sisters. The elderly man put his stick near a table and went near the sisters. He used his both hands to caress both their heads while looking at them doting expression. All the while there was a worm smile on his lips that made Xia Yao Xing feel comfortable in this enormous big and cold house.
Yes 'big and cold' is what the impression of this highly expensive and exquisite house which gained a lot of praises from whoever entered into it, in Xia Yao Xing's mind. She doesn't think it looked good, Grand or worm but got the impression of it being cold. This is all because of her fright to be confined here whole her life.
The elderly looking man's gaze shifted to her from the girl near as he said, "Xiao Xing... Your back." He said this so much love that Xia Yao Xing unexpectedly become a lot more accepting towards him. The name he used was the same that her 'family' used to call her. It's now that she felt for the first time that may be... Just May be... They are really her family. The mad said again, "I'm Xia Zhu, your grand father. You can call me grandpa. OK?" He asked for which she eagerly nodded. Now she can live here peacefully with grandpa around may be... Until her parent came to take her away.
The man continued, "Xiao Xing meet your sister" he said while shifting his gaze towards the excited girl near them. He said, "It's Xiang_er your elder sister. Xia Xiang." He said after a brief pause to the girl near, "Now Xiang_er here is your little sister Xia Yao Xing. Take good care of her. Understand?" He said all this with very much care for both of them.
Now The girl called Xia Xiang took her hand and said with clear determination in her voice, "OK grandpa you don't have to worry I'll take very good care of my little sister." all the while having a big smile on her face.
Then two figures looking... Yeah expensive! Expensive all over! Came down the stairs. Yes she thought the word 'expensive' to describe the two figures who are going to be introduced as her real parents.
When the two expensive people came near them, Xia Zhu said with a little authority in his voice, "Yeong, come your younger daughter is here."while gesturing him to help get the steady stick from the table to himself.
As he said again, "come Jiang Ai, greet your younger daughter. Look how beautiful she is just like..." He paused for a moment and said, "her mother." a sneer formed on his lips.
The 10 years young and innocent girl couldn't understand his last words and the girl next to her? even thought she understood she didn't show it. Xia Yao Xing successfully missed the expression on faces of the three of her elders.
After welcoming her, everyone went into their separate ways while Xia Xiang took Xia Yao Xing by her hand to show Xia Yao Xing where her room is and where she is going to spend her supposed life. She said showing her the a dress lying on the bed, "Xiao Xing, look this is for you. You have to ware it today." as she turned around and said again with a very very excited face, "I forgot, there's a party today for you. You have to look good OK...? Now rest a bit I'll be back sometime later to get you ready."
But... She never came back, not until the party started and someone came and said, "Young Miss Party is starting. Why are you not ready? Just hurry up. We don't have all the time in the world to wait for you." she said as her voice raise toward the last speech. She didn't took any effort to git Xia Yao Xing ready and went back.
Xia Yao Xing couldn't understand what to do and started getting ready as she could.
