I looked at the room, thought for a moment, and decided to go to my dad. I felt like I had too many questions and needed my dad's answers, or I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
They arrived at the third floor. Big Sis and Brother-in-law coincidentally came out from their room as well. "You also need to find Dad and Mom, right?" My sister and I smiled at each other in tacit understanding.
I knocked on the door and it opened with a creak. It was my father who opened the door. He wasn't surprised to see us. Instead, he smiled. I didn't expect you all to be able to hold back for so long.
When I went in with my sister and my brother-in-law, it was all an exaggeration to see that Dad's room was even more luxurious than ours.
There was a separate living room in their room, and then there was the door, the study and bedroom, separated from the living room by what felt like a kitchen as big as our old home.
We sat on the sofa, Dad and Mom on the opposite side, Dad sitting very casually, I was a bit fidgety.
"I know what you want to ask, it's a long story." Dad looked at Mom and smiled at her.
In my father's description, I probably learned. His grandfather was born in this family, and was destined to be the future head of the family. Since his grandfather was young, he had always been intelligent, and everyone in the family had great expectations for him, and his grandfather had always lived up to his grandfather's expectations. After that, his grandfather coincidentally met his grandmother, and the two of them fell in love, just like most of the other rich families in the family. His great-uncle had always wanted to bring his grandfather and his family back, but his grandfather had always been unwilling to do so. He had only left behind the last words, wanting them to return to their roots. And our current lives are also beautiful, so we didn't come back. Until the earthquake, when uncle sent people to find father, father felt that we had already grown up, and it was impossible for us to hide it for the rest of our lives, so he decided to bring us back to reunite with our ancestors.
This is the version Dad told us, but I always feel that something is odd, and my dad keeps his eyes averted when he says it, and I believe there are some key things he didn't tell us, but I'm not going to press him.
Anyway, I just need to know one thing, and that is dad is rich, very rich, and I don't need to see the story of Cinderella turning into a princess anymore, because I can also turn the situation around and sing the serf song. I'm also a rich second-generation, but, why don't I feel a little excited?
"In short, you just need to know that this will be your home from now on. Our family will still live together and we'll be very happy. You are also my most beloved people." "Yes," Dad said, his eyes filled with tenderness.
It was almost time for dinner, and the butler came to urge us to pack up for dinner. I said goodbye to them and went back to my room.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment, I still couldn't treat this place as my own home. Finally, I knew why those rich people on TV were always so depressed, even though the house had become bigger, it didn't feel like before anymore, I still liked that small but warm home. Mom was cooking, the fragrance of food could drift to every corner of the house, when I opened the door, I could see the entire layout of the house, and I could see the faces of my family members.
"As I was lost in my memories, there was a knock on the door." "Please come in." I opened my mouth.
"Miss Xing'er, this is your dress. Take a look at which one you want to wear tonight." The butler came in with a group of people, each of them holding a dress, and I felt my eyes go blurry.
"Well, must I wear it?" I was a little hesitant. How could I enjoy dinner with this on? I've been so tired these few days and I wanted to eat and drink to my heart's content. If one's skirt was torn, it would be a tragedy.
"This is my great-uncle's order." "The steward still bowed, neither servile nor overbearing." Tonight's banquet will not only be attended by the people from Xiang Family, but also by the people from several other families.
I looked down. "All right." Then, I was changed.
For the first time, I realized how much trouble it was to change clothes. I was forced to take a bath, then put on a dress, and a group of people came in with cosmetics tools in their hands, and then the makeup artist began to apply them all over my face, and for the first time I felt tired, and I wanted to sleep, but there was still a stylist on my head, making shapes, pulling and burning, and I couldn't sleep.
Then, after three hours, I was finally dressed up. To be honest, I really did have to rely on clothes to get into the saddle. After carefully dressing up, I was also amazed. I felt that with my current appearance, returning to school to participate in the school beauty selection was still a good chance. The most beautiful thing in my life is today, so of course I have to take a few pictures and keep it. Then, I sent it to Su Ye, and as expected, Su Ye sent me a bunch of voice messages, which I just wanted to listen to. However, the butler informed me that the banquet had started, so I let me downstairs, and I could only keep my phone.
Outside the door, his elder sister, brother-in-law and his parents happened to be coming down the stairs. They had also been carefully dressed up and wore exquisite formal attire. From the looks of it, they seemed to be glowing.
"I'm a bit nervous, what should I do? If I lose face, Dad, don't blame me." I nervously heaved a sigh of relief. I didn't watch so many TV dramas for nothing. In those TV dramas, when Cinderella returns to the castle, she will always be looked down upon by the other princesses.
"Everyone's still here. You can leave now. It's fine, what's the matter? Granduncle will protect you." My great-uncle came running over in a black vintage suit, like the otherworldly masters on television.
I've always wondered why everyone calls him great-uncle. We call him that because of his seniority, but even the butler and the servants call him that. I don't quite understand.
As we walked towards the first floor, I could already hear the noise and music from the first floor. I was a little doubtful, isn't it just a banquet?
As soon as I reached the stairs, I was struck dumb. This wasn't a dinner party at all, it was like a wedding, covered with red blankets and flowers, the hall was overdone with decorations, the table was covered with exquisite cutlery, and there were all sorts of foods, like small cakes and biscuits.
