The weekend soon arrived. Lawyer Wen drove over early in the morning to pick us up, probably because I was wearing too clean. After he saw us, he said, "Ling, let's take Ruyue to buy some clothes later. Our daughter should be dressed beautifully."
My mother didn't have a problem with that. She just said don't buy anything too expensive.
Actually, she was also happy. A man who was willing to spend money for a woman might not necessarily love her, but a man who was unwilling to spend money for a woman would definitely not love her.
When we were shopping for clothes, Lawyer Wen took us to high-end women's clothing stores. My mom couldn't help but scold, "Why are you buying such expensive clothes?"
Lawyer Wen was indifferent, "Xiao Yue is my daughter, I should spend money for her." He even gave me a card for my mother.
My new life began when I moved from cheap tenements not far from Paradise Street to the famous upscale housing of A City.
My mother told me that Wynn was a second-class lawyer, so when I saw the fine little house in front of me, I wasn't surprised.
The villa is huge, the swimming pool basement is full, my room is on the second floor, facing the swimming pool, the water is sparkling, is this really where I want to live in the future?
Princess's bedroom, dreamy and beautiful.
Lawyer Wen touched his nose and laughed, "I chose the style of the decorations without permission. I wonder if Xiaoyue likes them …"
I turned to my mother and lawyer, who were standing in the doorway, and smiled. "I like it, thank you."
Lawyer Wen immediately became very happy. He hugged my mother's shoulders and smiled. "It's good that you like it. Then you can pack up your things here. I'll bring your mother to see our room."
Perhaps there was some surprise in the room, but I could clearly hear my mother's exclamation.
Then there was the sound of intermittent voices, and I curled my lips. It seemed my mother had really found a good man.
I squatted down in front of my suitcase to pack up my clothes. Just as I took out the box, a male student's deep voice sounded at the door.
"Hey, Bai Ruyue."
Stunned, I looked up and saw a boy with short black hair leaning against the door.
He wore a simple T-shirt and shorts. He was tall and thin, and although his eyes and mouth had a tinge of purple around them, his handsome face bore an unspeakable resemblance to Lawyer Wen's.
Lawyer Wen said that Wen Guanghui had gone out to step on the bicycle. The boy's wrist and knee were indeed covered with wrist and knee guards. His thin bangs slightly shifted to the side, revealing crystal clear sweat on his forehead.
This should be … Warm light.
I quickly stood up and wiped my hands on the hem of my shirt. Before I could utter the word "brother", Wen Guanghui came in, grabbed my collar with one hand and pushed me against the wardrobe.
His hand was so big that when he grabbed the collar he touched where my chest had been injured. I gasped in pain and resisted the urge to cry out.
He sneered and looked down at me. "I don't care about my parents' marriage, but let me warn you, don't say that you know me or call me brother at school. I don't even know who your father is."
He bit the word "sister" hard and then looked at me.
This guy's character was far worse than Lawyer Wen's, and there was no point in coming over to warn me so aggressively.
I nodded. "Got it."
When he heard my words, he finally let go and walked out.
I had already expected this situation, so I could calmly accept it. No matter what attitude Wen Guanghui had towards me, even if I didn't cause trouble, he wouldn't let me go.
As long as Mom and Uncle Wen were happy.
In the evening, the four of us ate dinner together at the restaurant that was on the top floor of A-list. The four of us faced each other, while my mother and Uncle Wen had sweet expressions on their faces.
Halfway through eating, Uncle Wen suddenly said, "Guang Guang, our little sister is going to be in the same school as you. You have to take good care of her, do you know that?"
Wen Guanghui pretended not to hear it, and snorted coldly.
His disdainful attitude embarrassed me for a long time.
Although Wen Liangliu's attitude wasn't very good, it didn't affect the good mood of Lawyer Wen and my mother.
After dinner, Lawyer Wen called a taxi to let me go home with Wen. I looked at my mother and saw her holding hands with Lawyer Wen. She was standing behind him, blushing.
I knew they thought about the two of them, so I got into the car.
Wen Guanghui entered as well.
Lawyer Wen kept nagging Wen Guanghui to pay the taxi fare and even told him not to bully me. Wen Guanghui impatiently rolled up the window and said to the driver, "Let's go."
After returning home peacefully, Wen Liuxing didn't say a single word to me. He went straight upstairs before closing the door with an unhappy sound.
I sighed. While I was in the hall changing my slippers, I suddenly saw the pair of shoes on the first floor of the shoe rack. They were the shoes of Lawyer Wen.
I set my shoes aside with a secret thought, then silently blushed.
It was already eight in the evening by the time I finished washing up and returning to my room. I was extremely excited when I thought about going to the new school tomorrow, and the aftermath would be — I didn't sleep until early in the morning.
I woke up early the next morning and stood by the window to take a deep breath. Go for it, Bai Ruyue, you will get better and better!
The uniform was a shirt and skirt, but I was so thin I looked like a child in a grown-up suit.
Looking at myself in the mirror while putting on my school uniform, I grinned. Just as I was cheering up, I turned my head around and saw Warm Light, who was putting on his jacket.
He was wearing a high-center-level uniform, and his shirt was no different, but his trousers were dark gray, making his legs even straighter and longer. The top two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing a delicate collarbone.
I was stunned in place for a moment. I only regained my senses when I saw him walking towards me. "Aye."
He stepped closer to me and gave a slight chuckle with his head bowed. "Ugly."
The shadow over his head lifted and he went downstairs.
This is just an interlude, my school life has nothing to do with Warm Streams!
My mother got up earlier than I did. She had to get up and make breakfast for us. Today, it's Pigu meat porridge and Rice Noodle Roll. Lawyer Wen kept praising my mom for being virtuous. Wen Guanghui just kept eating without saying a word.
Lawyer Wen laughed, "Xiao Yue, today I will bring you to recognize your school and meet the teachers. In the future, you will be going to school with your brother..."
Wen Guanghui suddenly put down his bowl. "You don't need to say anything more!"
My mother and I were shocked. Lawyer Wen helplessly said, "You child …"
"I'm full. I'm leaving." Wen Guanghui didn't even bother to wait for me. He just picked up his backpack and left.
My mother asked worriedly, "Do you not like us, Guang Guang?"
Lawyer Wen quickly waved his hand. "No, no, he's usually like this as well. Don't worry too much."
My mother nodded, then gave me a thoughtful look. "Ruoyue, you have to get along well with your brother."
"Alright." It's just that he didn't even let me call him big brother, so how am I supposed to get along with him?
