Chapter 240: The New Residence!
Early-matured Yuan Bao didn’t really think she needed to be filial.
Her thinking was simple: If you treat me well, I’ll treat you well. If you don’t treat me well, why should I treat you well? We’re all living our first lives, so she doesn’t indulge anyone.
What?
You say you gave birth to me?
Well, let me ask you, did you get my permission before giving birth to me?
The grace of giving birth exists, but it doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want with me.
Yuan Bao had this attitude towards her biological mother, Mrs. Xiao Li.
If she were a normal little child, she wouldn’t feel anything about Mrs. Xiao Li’s favoritism, or even think of it. It’s only as she grew older and learned more that she would become aware of it.
But she wasn’t a normal little child; she knew about many things from a young age.
Mrs. Xiao Li’s favoritism, her harsh treatment, Yuan Bao saw it all clearly.
Nowadays, Mrs. Xiao Li said she was wrong and wanted her back. What a joke?
If she returned to Mrs. Xiao Li’s side and Mrs. Xiao Li reverted to her old ways, who would she complain to?
Therefore, Yuan Bao didn’t think there was anything wrong with severing ties with this so-called mother.
As for this grace of birth, she remembers it.
You raised me when I was little, I’ll take care of you when you’re old.
As for anything else, don’t even think about it.
...
It’s not a short journey from Beishan Village to Yunyang City.
The Yuan Family left quite early, yet they still only arrived at the city gates in the mid-morning.
The residence Wei Wushang found for Yuan Yindi was located in the northwest core area of Yunyang City, and this area was inhabited by people who were all notable families in Yunyang City.
Once Yuan Yindi arrived in Yunyang City, she couldn’t help but visit the Wei Mansion. Of course, Yuan Bao had to go along, since he acknowledged Wei Shiyu and his wife as godparents.
It’s the first month of the year, and Yuan Bao couldn’t neglect the etiquette of paying New Year visits.
However, the second day of the lunar new year wasn’t suitable for New Year visits.
Or to be precise, any time before the eighth day of the lunar new year wasn’t suitable for visits.
After all, their relationship with the Wei Family was not like a legitimate kinship.
The Yuan Family quickly reached the residence that Wei Wushang found for Yuan Yindi after entering Yunyang City.
There were no specific hierarchy distinctions for residences in Daxia, otherwise, this residence that Wei Wushang found would definitely be overstepping the rules.
"Xiao Wu, this residence isn’t cheap, is it?"
Old Yuan, although he hadn’t seen many grand occasions, had traveled north and south and seen quite a few residences. However, he couldn’t recall any residence that surpassed the one in front of him.
"It’s alright!"
Yuan Yindi chuckled, "Dad, don’t think too much, no matter how grand a residence is, it’s just a place for people to live. It’s really nothing special!"
"You really have high standards!"
Old Yuan glanced at his youngest son but said nothing more.
The group soon entered the residence.
As the main gate of the residence opened, they were greeted with a truly luxurious shadow wall.
The jade-green wall surface was adorned with intricately crafted colorful murals.
Just by looking at this shadow wall, Yuan Yindi realized that the value of this house was definitely not as cheap as Wei Wushang claimed. In fact, it wasn’t the kind of property an ordinary wealthy merchant could afford.
"Xiao Wu, what do you have to say now?"
Gazing at the shadow wall in front of him, Old Yuan solemnly closed his eyes.
A typical family definitely couldn’t afford such a shadow wall!
