The girl was wearing a very pretty dress. Her hair was loose except that her hair at the sides had been gathered behind her head. A beautiful bow sat on her head.
Her little face was powdered, which made her look more exquisite. Her lips were reddened with lipstick.
She wore a pair of little leather shoes and carried a beautiful little bag. Her dress was very modern.
Her name was Yang Yujiao, and she was the granddaughter of the Yang familyâs second son. The Yang family doted on her.
Mo Yang looked at her. His expression did not change, and he continued to smile slightly. âYang Yujiao, are you looking for me?â
In this compound, Mo Yang was a famous Crown Prince. He was delightful, lively and charming. Almost every child here knew him.
Yang Yujiao instinctively frowned when she saw Mo Yang holding a strange little girlâs hand. âWho is she?â
Mo Yang said, âA good friend of mine.â
He did not say a single word more.
Yang Yujiao frowned and said, âSheâs not one of us, is she? Why did you bring a stranger here? We donât usually allow strangers to enter. This is no ordinary place. What if a child from outside knocks down one of the old folks here?â
Yang Yujiao was thirteen years old. Girls reach puberty earlier, and she was much taller than Mo Yang and even taller than Chu Yue. Now she was acting so fiercely that Chu Yue blinked in fright at the sight of her.
She had had no father since young. Her mother worked very hard to take care of the two children, so the girl had been very mature from a young age, and knew that she must not cause trouble for her mother.
Her timidity was a habit that had been formed over many years. Although Chu Yi was now back, a childâs character could not change so fast.
Mo Yang could sense that the girl with him was rather anxious and scared, so he held Chu Yueâs hand tightly and faced Yang Yujiao. He was smiling, but his eyes were cold.
âThis is my friend, so she is a friend of the Mo family. Iâm bringing her around personally. What business is it of yours? Surely the families that live here can have relatives or friends come over to visit them?â
Yang Yujiao was displeased when Mo Yang said that. âIâm just concerned. Many children from outside are very rude. They come here and gape like bumpkins. Since sheâs your friend, then so be it.
âAll right, letâs not talk about them. Mo Yang, what have you been up to lately? Come to my house and play! My aunt has returned and brought many nice things from overseas!â
Yang Yujiaoâs face shone with excitement at the mention of this.
Her youngest aunt, Yang Shiyun, was the youngest daughter of the oldest son. She had been studying overseas and was very capable. Now that she was back, she had brought many things that Yang Yujiao had never seen before. They were both beautiful and novel.
Mo Yang continued to smile faintly. âIâm busy this afternoon. I have to go!â
With that, he started to leave while still holding Chu Yueâs little hand.
âHey, wait a while!â Yang Yujiao hurriedly stopped him. She had not expected Mo Yang to reject her. âWhy are you leaving! Whatâs so important? My youngest aunt has really brought lots of fun and beautiful things back. Come with me to see them! Iâll give you some presents. Theyâre all imported goods that she bought from overseas!â
Mo Yang wanted to roll his eyes.
She might be able to gain some advantage by boasting about these things to others. But to boast about these things to him? What was the matter with her?
Did his family lack imported goods?
His father was an international tycoon, and his mother was no ordinary person. His uncles often went overseas. He had seen countless objects from overseas. Why would he care about what her youngest aunt had brought back?
