Chapter 552: Rain with a target.
It rained in the city for two days straight and the Lunar new year was officially ushered in with umbrellas and jackets. The sudden rain did not just affect those in Beijing but other areas as well, disrupting transportation and the plans so many people had made for the holidays.
Alix for one had made plans to take Xiaobo and Mafang for the screening of little Nezha fights the dragon king at a public movie theater where other parents were going to be with their children. Unfortunately, with the heavy rains, the plans had to be cancelled since the theater was closed due to flooding.
They found themselves stuck at the old Zhang house, watching the rain from the large balcony of the living room with disappointed eyes.
"I really want to kill him." Alix muttered.
She couldn’t help feeling like all this rain was targeted at her personally. Weather boy must have taken a peek at her itinerary for the holidays and decided to ruin them for her.
Grandma Zhang’s personal maid came and took the children away on the orders of the old madam. They were too young to be out in the cold.
Alix was left out alone and she curled up on a soft antique settee and pulled her phone out. She was not planning on participating in the kitchen festivities like wrapping dumplings or folding paper lanterns, if she could not play with the children then she might as well play the game.
There were more than enough people in the bright heavily decorated house engaging in all those fun activities anyway. She could hear their laughter, bright and clear all the way from the balcony where she was.
She unwrapped a berry and yogurt lollipop, putting it in her mouth. It was a healthy snack, just like most of her snacks lately. Both Caishen and her system had insisted that she change her diet. If it was just her hubby’s suggestion, she would have been reluctant but a warning from her system was not something to doubt.
