Even though it wasn't dark yet, the mansion was brightly lit. The mansion had carved iron gates and green vines.
A car was brought to take Liu Xiuying in.
Liu Xiuying was dumbfounded. She wondered how rich the family of Dai Mao was to have such a big mansion.
When the car pulled up at the front of the mansion, Liu Xiuying couldn't believe her eyes. It was only in movies that she saw big and beautiful mansions like this. She reached out and was about to open the door, when she saw a man dressed in black uniform stand by the door and gently and respectfully opened the door for her.
"Thank you" Liu Xiuying smiled as she climbed down from the car.
"Big sister YingYing, you are finally here"
Liu Xiuying heard Dai Mao's cute and adorable voice. When she raised her head, she saw Dai Mao run towards her and grab her hand. Liu Xiuying squatted to her level, reached out to pat her head affectionately. "Dai Mao is very beautiful"
Dai Mao was the real heiress of the Mo family. She was clearly pampered and fed well. She had clean and snow white skin.
When she smiled, two cute deep dimples appeared on her chubby cheeks.
It made Liu Xiuying's heart melt.
With a servant at the front leading them inside, Dai Mao held Liu Xiuying's fair hand as they strode into the mansion.
"Mom, big sister YingYing is here" Dai Mao shouted.
The next moment, Liu Xiuying heard an unhurried footsteps coming closer. When she turned her head and raised her gaze, she saw a middle aged woman coming down the stairs.
"Is this YingYing?" The woman had a smile on her face. "Dai Mao told me a lot about you. It's a good thing that I've finally met you"
The misty blue coat complemented her to look very capable and experienced and she had a belt around her thin waist. She looked smart, yet still had a charming aura of a young woman.
If one saw her, one wouldn't think that she had given birth to two kids.
Liu Xiuying stepped forward and bowed as she greeted her with a smile. "Hello ma'am, my name is Liu Xiuying"
The lights in the living room were bright enough and under the light, Liu Xiuying looked exceptionally beautiful. She looked like she was pulled out of a painting.
"Call me Aunt Fengya" Jiang Fengya's voice had a hint of affection and her face was filled with love.
Her gaze never left Liu Xiuying's beautiful and small face.
Liu Xiuying's voice was sweet and soft when she spoke. She was wearing a white shirt and a light brown skirt with her handbag over her shoulder. Her black hair was loosely tied up, revealing her fair and slender neck.
Her skin was naturally fair. It was slightly pink and as soft as jade. She was beautiful and although she wasn't wearing any makeup, her skin was fair and rosy, looking as fresh as peach blossoms in spring.
When she smiled, her eyes turned crescent.
"Come and have your seat. Don't stand on ceremony" Jiang Fengya told the servants to pour her tea and even told them to start cooking dinner.
Liu Xiuying thanked the servant who brought her the tea with a smile.
Liu Xiuying turned her head when she heard Dai Mao's adorable voice sounded by her ear. "Big sister YingYing, you don't have to act like a stranger. This is your home also"
My home?
Liu Xiuying's parents are not poor and they are also not rich. Although she had dreamt of living in a huge mansion like this, but she wouldn't dare to think of calling this place her home just because she was a friend of the daughter of this family.
Liu Xiuying didn't really fancy material things.
She believed that with time, as long as she was hardworking and never gave up, she would also be able to live in a huge mansion like this.
She lowered her head to look at the jade-like black ceramic tea cup in her hand. Her fair, slender fingers contracted with the tea cup.
She knew the tea cup was worth millions of yuan. She gently took a sip, scared that the cup would break.
At this moment, Dai Mao turned her head and said calmly, "Big brother is back"
Liu Xiuying's back stiffened. She subconsciously turned her head and her gaze landed on the man that had just walked in. The light of the setting sun slipped through the floor-to-ceiling windows, landing on his body and he seemed to be surrounded with a faint golden halo. The lights and shadows overlapped as he removed his down coat and passed it to the servant at the side.
His black shirt stretched tightly and closely fit against the length of his body. He looked to be in his late twenties, but he didn't have a youthful vigor. Instead, he exuded a calm and reserved aura.
This Dai Mao's big brother… is way too good looking.
But his phoenix eyes looked so familiar.
Mo Yanlin's dark gaze landed on the young lady in the house as if he was looking down at her from above and scrutinizing her.
His lips curled up into a secret smile when he saw her sizing him up.
This girl looked so interesting.
As if Liu Xiuying felt him catch her sizing him up, she felt her breath stagnate, and she quickly lowered her eyes, feeling guilty.
"Big brother, this is my friend. Her name is Liu Xiuying" Dai Mao's big, round eyes sparkled as her gaze landed on Liu Xiuying. She said her remaining words slowly. "Big sister YingYing, this is my big brother, Mo Yanlin"
Liu Xiuying hurriedly stood up, raised her head to look at his face and greeted with a smile. "Hello, Mr. Mo"
Mo Yanlin's beautiful thin lips tightly pressed against each other. His face darkened.
"Mm" he didn't give a particular expression as he walked past them.
Liu Xiuying panicked.
Did I offend him?
If she offends Dai Mao's big brother, wouldn't he hate her?
She opened her mouth to say a word, but her words got stuck in her throat until she heard Dai Mao's angry voice. "Mo Yanlin, stop right there! Is that how you treat my friend?"
Liu Xiuying gulped.
It's over.
What is this girl doing? Isn't she adding fuel to the already lit fire?
Mo Yanlin stopped dead in his tracks. Slowly, he turned his head and his dark gaze landed in Dai Mao's cute chubby face.
Liu Xiuying reached out to grab Dai Mao's hand and said, "Dai Mao, what are you saying? He is your big brother"
"Oh" Dai Mao's stern expression turned soft and affectionate. She turned her head to look at her brother and smiled. She said her words again in a low and calm voice, "Big brother, she is my friend. Shouldn't you at least reply to her?"
