Free Web NovelChapter 647: Used to Being Overlooked
The two ten-cent coins were seriously placed in the pocket by the little kid.
The little guy was particularly reluctant when it was time to go back in the afternoon.
But since Xu Jiaojiao and the others were also going to the provincial city, the little guy quickly became happy.
Tian Fang was also going along, shamelessly pulling Xu Jiaojiao along to broaden her horizons.
Xu Mumu didn’t know what to say, but she let her tag along anyway.
Yin Yang simply gave Tian Fang a meaningful glance and didn’t bother with the matter. With someone like Tian Fang, he didn’t need to exert much effort; it was Yun Ji who needed his attention.
Since Yun Ji had delivered such trouble to his doorstep, he had to properly repay him.
The car slowly drove into the apartment complex. This was the best location in the whole city, and everything inside felt like a different world from the outside. Tian Fang felt her eyes dazzled, filled with longing for everything here. Was this where Xu Mumu and her family lived? Jealousy surged within her.
As soon as the car arrived downstairs, Professor Song and the others rushed out, along with two dogs.
"Doudou, my dear, you’re back, come let grandpa give you a hug." Professor Jian quickly grabbed the little kid.
"Great-grandpa, grandpa, I missed you so much." Doudou kissed both their faces, making them exceedingly happy.
"Did you have fun at your grandma’s house?" Professor Jian asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, there were lots of little playmates there, they were so much fun." The mention of the village made the little guy particularly excited.
"Come on, let’s all go inside, his grandparents really dote on Doudou." Xu Mumu said with a faint smile, glancing at the others. Ever since Doudou was born, she and Yin Yang had become accustomed to being ignored by the elders.
Once inside the house, Xu Jiaojiao and the others were already familiar with everything and didn’t find it strange.
But it was different for Tian Fang, who was amazed by the luxury, the size and beauty of the house, and the valuable-looking items inside. Over the years, she had gained an eye for such things and recognized them as antiques, becoming increasingly valuable.
Why was Xu Mumu so lucky, jealousy surged within her again, wishing desperately that she was the mistress of this house.
With these thoughts, Tian Fang’s fear of Yin Yang slightly diminished; she was willing to do anything to achieve her goals.
Xu Mumu glanced at Tian Fang without showing any emotion. Yin Yang had told her about what happened yesterday, and this cousin was crazy enough to set her sights on her husband, making Xu Mumu very displeased.
However, it also put her on guard. She couldn’t let Tian Fang succeed.
Xu Mumu arranged rooms for them, Xu Minglei went back to his place directly. Xu Minghui also returned with them since the company was reopening in a few days and there were things to be handled.
Jiang Yuxiu was now heavily pregnant, and since Li Caixia and the others hadn’t returned yet, Xu Minghui couldn’t care for his wife alone, so he left Jiang Yuxiu back home to come later with the family.
When it was time for sleeping arrangements, Xu Mumu put Tian Fang in the furthest guest room. Seeing her greedy eyes made Xu Mumu uncomfortable.
Xu Mumu went to check on the small fox, which was being well taken care of, and its injured leg was almost healed. The fox was still young, so it healed quickly.
"This little fox recognizes people." Xu Jiaojiao also wanted to touch the soft fur of the little fox, but as soon as she got close, the little fox bared its teeth to keep them away.
"Of course, little foxes are very smart." Xu Mumu said with a smile. She had rescued it, so it was most affectionate towards her, followed by Doudou. After being brought back, Doudou was the one who mostly fed it, so the little fox was also quite close to Doudou.
"This little fox is so adorable; I would love to have one too." Xu Jiaojiao said wistfully.
"Wishful thinking." Xu Mumu said amusedly.
"Just a thought." Xu Jiaojiao replied with a smile.
"By the way, where are we going to play tomorrow?" Xu Mumu asked Xu Jiaojiao.
"We haven’t discussed it yet, we just said we’d gather tomorrow and play together. Do you have anything you want to do, big sister?" Xu Jiaojiao tilted her head and looked at her older sister.
"Not really, I’ll just go with whatever you all feel like doing. I’ll take Doudou along and accompany you." Xu Mumu chuckled; she wasn’t particularly keen on any outing.
"Big sister, I heard there’s a moat in the city. It’s a bit far from here, but there’s a snack street there. Why don’t we go for a stroll?" Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up. She had only heard about the snack street, a new government venture she was curious about.
"Sure." Xu Mumu nodded, aware of the snack street, which had been gaining popularity over the past few months.
After returning from auditing with Yin Yang, Xu Mumu had taken a few days off but wasn’t idle; with the new year approaching, the electric bike factory needed her decisions on many things.
By the time everything was sorted out, it was nearly the New Year.
With rare free days, Xu Mumu certainly wanted to relax and go out.
"I have a small camera at home, I’ll take it along to snap photos of you all." Xu Mumu thought of the camera, which was bought overseas by Yin Yang. It was much smaller in size, making it easy to carry around.
"Great, big sister, you have to make sure to take nice pictures of me." Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes sparkled. She loved being photographed.
"No problem, trust me, I’m good at it." Xu Mumu smiled and nodded.
"Big sister, I want to learn photography. Could you teach me?" Xu Wan asked, her face slightly red, looking at Xu Mumu with some anticipation.
"Sure, it’s good to learn more things." Xu Mumu said with a smile.
"I want to learn too." Xu Jiaojiao immediately said.
"All of you can learn." Xu Mumu’s smile brightened. The siblings had a strong bond, and Xu Mumu was fond of her brothers and sisters. She watched them grow up little by little and felt proud.
Tian Fang was out of place on the side. She knew about cameras and knew they weren’t cheap, unaffordable for an average family.
She lifted her hand to touch the vase on the shelf, amazed by its beauty and the lifelike floral carvings on it. Such things, if sold, would surely fetch a fortune.
