Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
w.a.n.g Yunmei didn’t expect to meet the person in front of her at such a place. She was stunned for a moment before hurriedly greeting, “Brother.”
This person was none other than w.a.n.g Yunmei’s elder brother, w.a.n.g Yunzhong.
w.a.n.g Yunmei was the second child of the w.a.n.g family. She had an elder brother, w.a.n.g Yunzhong, a younger brother, w.a.n.g Yunfa, and a younger sister, w.a.n.g Yunzhi.
Although a few of them lived in Baiyun City now, they did not grow up in Baiyun City. The w.a.n.g family was from a small mountain village under Baiyun City. The village had a severe concept of favoring males over females. Therefore, since they were young, the elder and younger brothers were their parents’ treasures. This was especially so for the eldest son, w.a.n.g Yunzhong. From a young age, everything good in the family was his. Their family conditions were not good and they could only provide for one person to study. That person could only be the elder brother.
Later, w.a.n.g Yunzhong got into a university. In that era where university students were scarce, a university student from the village was a huge matter. The elders of the w.a.n.g family doted on their eldest son even more. Later, to accompany their son who was studying at a university in Baiyun City, the family moved from the village to the city.
A few years later, the elders of the w.a.n.g family bought two houses in Baiyun City by selling vegetables. However, w.a.n.g Yunmei and w.a.n.g Yunzhi knew that one of the two houses belonged to their elder brother, and the other belonged to their third brother. It had nothing to do with them, the two daughters.
It was also because of his parents’ favoritism that the elder brother, w.a.n.g Yunzhong, felt that he was better than his siblings since he was young. After he entered university, he looked down on others. Especially after knowing that his second sister was an escort in the club, he simply cut off all contact with her and never went to visit during the new year.
w.a.n.g Yunzhong was also slightly surprised by this chance encounter. He immediately swept his gaze across the imposing lobby of the sales office and then at w.a.n.g Yunmei. He felt that w.a.n.g Yunmei shouldn’t appear in such a place as he might not even be able to afford a house in such a high-cla.s.s district.
Frowning, w.a.n.g Yunzhong asked coldly, “What are you doing here?”
w.a.n.g Yunmei wasn’t close to her elder brother, to begin with. In addition, w.a.n.g Yunzhong was a bit overbearing, so w.a.n.g Yunmei couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty. “I brought my children out to walk around.”
At the mention of children, w.a.n.g Yunzhong turned his gaze to Jian Yu and Jian Ai.
The two of them naturally recognized w.a.n.g Yunzhong, so they could only open their mouths and call out, “Uncle.”
w.a.n.g Yunzhong nodded expressionlessly. If he treated his biological sister like this, then it was even more impossible for him to show any enthusiasm towards them.
“Yunzhong, who are they?!” At this moment, the woman who had been holding w.a.n.g Yunzhong’s arm spoke.
The woman was dressed fas.h.i.+onably and looked to be in her twenties, but Jian Ai knew that her uncle had been married for more than ten years. Her male cousin was a year older than her and there was also a thirteen-year-old female cousin.
It was obvious that this woman was not her aunt but her uncle’s lover.
Facing his sister, nephew, and niece, w.a.n.g Yunzhong did not avoid the question at all. He gently patted the woman’s hand and said in a light tone, “My sister, nephew, and niece.”
“Ah! Then what should I call them?” The woman’s tone sounded surprised, but she was smiling. It was as if she was feeling smug because w.a.n.g Yunzhong didn’t avoid her.
w.a.n.g Yunmei felt a little embarra.s.sed. Based on her relations.h.i.+p with her brother, she couldn’t say some things. Jian Yu and Jian Ai didn’t want to get involved in their uncle’s business either, so they didn’t say anything.
w.a.n.g Yunzhong naturally didn’t have anything to say to them. He immediately pretended to look at his watch and said, “I still have something on, so I’ll take my leave.”
After saying this, without waiting for w.a.n.g Yunmei to nod, w.a.n.g Yunzhong turned around and left with the young woman.
