Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wang Yunfa’s new house was in the south of Zhonglou District. It was located in a very remote area. Fortunately, it was a new neighborhood and the house was well renovated. It was only one hundred and twenty thousand yuan for approximately eighty square meters, which was very cheap.
Baiyun City was developing so rapidly that even the poorest South City was listed in the demolition plan. No matter how remote Wang Yunfa’s house was, its value would multiply in a few years.
Following the address Wang Yunfa sent them, they soon arrived at the residential area.
Because it was a new neighborhood, the admission rate was not high. At that moment, a house on the third floor was brightly lit, and there were faint sounds of lively conversation and laughter.
Everyone went upstairs together. The person who opened the door was Wang Yunzhong’s wife, Jiang Chunfen.
“Sister-in-law!”
As soon as they met, Wang Yunmei and the rest greeted Jiang Chunfen warmly.
Jiang Chunfen was Wang Yunzhong’s university classmate. She was gentle and cultivated. She was also a well-educated person.
“Everyone’s here!” Jiang Chunfen smiled and quickly let everyone into the house.
“Aunt.” The children called out to her.
The room was lively. Wang Yunzhong and his family arrived first. The two elders of the Wang family were also around. Other than them, there were some other relatives of the Wang family. The house was filled with people.
Although Wang Yunfa’s reputation was not good, the relatives who received the invitation happily came over, especially now that he had bought a new house and was getting married. They gave him some face.
Old Madam Wang was happy in her heart. When she spoke, she smiled so hard that one could not see her eyes. The old man was usually reserved, but since it was his son’s wedding, his expression softened.
The atmosphere in the house was lively and harmonious. Coupled with the festive words that could be seen everywhere, the wedding celebrations became even more intense.
The moment the adults entered the house, they started getting busy. Jian Ai and the children couldn’t be of help, so they went to the other room.
At that moment, two children were already sitting in the room. The boy among them looked to be around sixteen years old. He was slightly fat and could not be said to be ugly, but his looks were very ordinary. Upon closer look, one could see Wang Yunzhong’s shadow. He was Wang Yunzhong’s son, the only grandson of the Wang family, Wang Zichen.
The two elders of the Wang family favored sons over daughters. Although Wang Yunzhi and Wang Yunmei had sons, they carried other surnames and were maternal grandchildren. How would they treasure them as much as Wang Zichen?
Since he was young, Wang Zichen had been the precious child of the two elders of the Wang family. He even received more money in his red packet during the New Year compared to the others. One could see how biased they were.
The girl sitting on the bed was Wang Yunzhong’s daughter, Wang Zichen’s sister, Wang Zimeng.
Wang Zimeng and Jian Ai were the same age and she was only a few months older than Jian Ai. She was very good-looking and did not look like Wang Yunzhong at all. Her body was slightly smaller. Although she was the granddaughter of the Wang family, her status in the hearts of the two elders of the Wang family was a lot lower than her brother, Wang Zichen. The situation with Wang Yunzhong and his siblings back then continued to be with Wang Zichen and Wang Zimeng.
The Wang family valued men over women.
Even Wang Yunzhong, as a father, was deeply affected by the old man. He treated his son extremely well, but he had never placed importance on his daughter.
There were Jian Ai’s cousins. The number of times they met in a year could be counted on one hand. The last time they met was during the New Year last year.
Their gazes met. Wang Zichen’s bean-sized eyes glanced at them expressionlessly. He didn’t say anything and lowered his head to continue playing with the game console in his hand.
Wang Zichen was pampered in the Wang family, so he developed a sense of superiority like his father. He never took his cousins seriously, let alone take the initiative to talk to them.
