Volume 1 Chapter 2 The Rao Family

In the eastern part of City A in country H, a traditional family who had a history of more than a hundred years resided in a beautiful mansion that was more than fifty years old.

Rao family, one of the most powerful and wealthiest families of country H. In-country H, the power and position of the families were divided into five levels. At the top were the two most powerful families which were the Rao family and the Mu family who had a hundred years of history. Below the top family were the six great families who belonged to military, business, politics and entertainment circles and had years of family history. Below the six family was the twelve powerful families who belonged to the same field as the six great families but did not have a family history. At the bottom two-level were the second generation and rich people with their own companies and connections and who had developed in past decades.

The Rao mansion, unlike usual days, it looked very active. One could see servants and maids running around the mansion in a hurry. The old master, Michael Rao was holding a communicator in his hands and was ordering the servants to clean up the garden, the pool, and the front yard hurriedly. Standing behind Old Master Rao was the old butler holding an umbrella to protect the old paster from hot sun. Looking at the old master who looked especially active and commanding, the old butler sighed deeply.

Inside the mansion, just like an old master, the master, as well as the young master, were ordering maids and servants to hurry up with their work. While the master of the family dealt with the living room and other areas, the young master was mainly responsible to take care of things in the kitchen. Holding a long list in his hand, the young master Jane Rao listed out all the favorite dishes that his baby sister liked and rushed the chiefs to prepare it as soon as possible. On the second floor, in the eastern wing, the madam of the Rao family Elina Rao was busy arranging her daughter's room. Unlike other girls who liked princes styled room which was covered in pink, Sia Rao liked the room to be white, which represented innocence, purity, and perfection.

When it was almost three in the afternoon, all the members of the Rao family rushed out to the entrance and stood in front of the house with all the servants and maids standing in a row at either side. Not long after, a Maybach entered the estate from the gates. Looking at the approaching car, all the members of the Rao family looked very excited.

The Maybach half circled the man-made fountain and stopped right in front of the entrance, where two rows of maids and servants stood at each side with their heads down. As soon as the car stopped, the driver hurriedly got out of the car and walked to the back and opened the door respectfully to let the person inside get down from the car.

As soon as Sia got down from the car, she looked at her family with a smiled and called out "Grandpa, mom, Dad, brother"

Laughing, the old master stepped forward called "Hahaoh my baby, grandpa missed you so much. Come come, give a hug for your grandpa" Old master Rao said happily.

Smiling, Sia walked towards her grandpa and gave him a big hug. Patting her back, Old master pulled himself away from his granddaughter and looked at her carefully before exclaiming "hmmm, you have grown taller than the previous time"

Seeing that his father showed no sign of letting go of his daughter, Mr. Rao looked displeased and said "Father, if you're done then can you let me hug my baby?" not waiting for his father to speak, Mr. Rao looked at his daughter with a twinkling eyes and said, "Sweetheart, won't you give your father a hug?"

Smiling, Sia let go of her grandfather and ran to her father to give him a fatherly hug. Looking that his little granddaughter was snatched away by his son, Old mater Roa looked displeased.

While old master Rao was still sulking, Sean Rao looked at his father and made a face, making the old master further displeased.

Jealous of his son, the old master did not want his son to have all the pleasure to himself. With a cunning smile on his face he said "Baby, don't you want to hug your brother? Look how he is sulking at the side?"

Immediately after the old master said that Sia abandoned her father and went to her brother to hug him. Looking at his son who was sulking to himself, old master laughed silently and made a face that his son made earlier. Looking at the father and son's childish act, old butler and Mrs. Rao laughed to themself. Walking towards her daughter, Mrs. Rao looked at her daughter with a gentle smile and called out "Sweetheart, if you are done with your brother then how about giving your mother a baby hug?"

"Mom" Sia called and hugged her mother.

Patting her back, Mrs. Rao moved back and kissed her daughters face. Looking at her grown-up face, she could not help but comment "Oh my, my daughter has become much more beautiful now"

Smirking, Sia replied back with a cupid arrow "What to do since my mother is soo beautiful. I got it all from her"

Laughing, Mrs. Rao berated "This childyou're at it again"

Seeing that the father and son were about to gave a silent war, Mrs. Rao sighed helplessly and said "Enough glaring. After traveling for so long Sia must be tired. We are going in, you both can come in whenever you want"

Before heading inside Mrs. Rao did not forget to remind Old master Rao "Father, get inside soon. Standing under afternoon hot sun for long is not good for your health"

With that said, Mrs. Rao did not say much but led Sia inside the mansion.
