Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Li Yuyan clasped his fists and bowed, looking at Wei Bingyan with a gentle look, then quickly left the garden and went to the study.

Not long after, Li Xiaoshi, knowing the ways of the world, resigned immediately. The Xiao mother and daughter had been separated for such a long time, so naturally they had a lot of intimate things to say to each other. Wouldn't it be annoying for her to just stand there all the time?

But when she was about to leave, she turned to Wei Bingyan with a look that was vaguely mysterious and unpredictable, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The only women left in Fenfang Hall were Xiao's mother, daughter, and A Rui, waiting quietly outside.

"Arui, you've grown a lot taller." Wei Bingyan looked at Wei Longrui who was standing upright near Xiao and couldn't help but sigh. She almost couldn't recognize the man next to her.

Wei Longrui's face looks very much like Wei Zhong. He was still a green and immature boy a year ago, but now he looks much calmer and more stable, with a graceful demeanor between his facial features. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to detect the arrogance hidden in his eyes.

"Sister, how are you these days?" Wei Longrui bowed politely. He no longer rushed over happily and called her "sister" loudly when he saw Wei Bingyan as he did before.

The cute, honest and loyal child has grown up inadvertently, and has become estranged from Wei Bingyan.

Wei Bingyan wanted to reach out and touch his hand, but she put her arm down after moving it. She clenched her fingers into a fist and smiled warmly, "I heard from others that you can take part in the provincial examination in person in a year. You are so amazing to become a student at such a young age, A Rui."

"Sir, you are wrong. You just let me try my hand first." Wei Longrui replied humbly and politely.

The careful preparation between the siblings felt strange and unnatural.

Xiao saw the depression in Wei Bingyan's eyes and was about to say something when she heard a young and cute voice coming from outside.

Hearing the voice, Wei Bingyan couldn't help but smile. She turned around and saw the wet nurse carrying Ah Sheng, who kept talking and couldn't stop, in.

As soon as Ah Sheng entered the door, he saw his sister whom he had just met the day before. He struggled hard to fall to the ground with joy and ran towards Wei Bingyan excitedly.

Wei Bingyan was afraid that he would fall to the ground, so she hurried over and picked him up, "Little thing, your legs are short but you can't run slowly."

"Sister...Sister..." Ah Sheng happily hugged Wei Bingyan's neck and called out loudly.

Xiao smiled and said, "Has your sister made you completely forget about your mother?"

Everyone in the Fragrance Hall laughed.

The gradually distant look on Wei Longrui's face was slowly replaced by a warm smile. He looked at Ah Sheng and his lips couldn't help but rise.

Ah Sheng was hugged and kissed a few times by Wei Bingyan. He was so happy that he couldn't stop laughing. He also noticed that everyone in the Fenfang Hall was looking at him, and he started shaking his hands and feet with even more joy.

Xiao said to Wei Bingyan hurriedly, "Be careful. This little thing can hit you like a storm and it can hurt you."

Ah Sheng noticed Wei Longrui standing upright behind Wei Bingyan. His eyes suddenly brightened up. He immediately twisted his body and opened his hands towards Wei Longrui, "Brother...Brother..."

Wei Longrui came over, took him and held him in his arms.

He looked like he had a very deep relationship with A Sheng, and A Sheng seemed to like him.

Wei Longrui didn't live at home often, and Ah Sheng hadn't seen him for several days. Now when he saw him, he immediately forgot about Wei Bingyan and Xiao Shi, and just wanted Wei Longrui to accompany him to play outside.

Wei Bingyan looked at them strangely. Children have the purest thoughts. They like to be with whoever treats them well. Ah Sheng likes Ah Rui so much because Ah Rui really loves him.

Her emotions suddenly brightened up. In fact, the cute and kind Arei had not changed, he just couldn't be close to her anymore.

She was not surprised at all. After all, Aunt Qiu's affairs... had nothing to do with her. Wei Longrui was Aunt Qiu's son, so it was natural for him to be a little unfamiliar with her.

Ah Sheng was clamoring to go outside to play, and Wei Longrui looked at Xiao in embarrassment.

Xiao said with a smile: "He has been waiting for you for a long time, so you can take him for a walk."

Wei Longrui's eyes lit up with a smile, and he responded pleasantly. After bowing respectfully to Wei Bingyan, he quickly left with Ah Sheng.

Xiao and Wei Bingyan went to the inner room and talked for a few words before the director's wife came to reply. It seemed that there was a problem with the villa that Xiao had bought some time ago.

After Xiao left, Wei Bingyan called Xiao He in and asked about the situation of other people in the family from this period to now.

What she was most worried about was that Li Xiaoshi would get pregnant with Wei Zhong's child. If a woman had offspring, she would do many things for the child that she normally wouldn't have the courage to do. But after meeting Li Xiaoshi today, she was sure that she didn't look like a pregnant woman, so she asked others.

"...The two concubines brought from the capital were given away by the old man. Yuexian and Qingbo are now being meticulously inspected by the old man. On the contrary, I haven't heard anyone say that either of them is pregnant. If she is pregnant, she must tell the wife."

Yuexian and Qingbo were the two women who had tried to seduce Li Yuyan in the past, but unexpectedly Wei Zhong also accepted them.

Caifeng Tower is located on Caifeng Street. It is a three-room shop with four stories high. The facade is magnificent, with diamond-shaped lattice patterns inlaid on the windows and doors, and exquisite sculptures of flowers, birds, insects and fish. There are gilded copper leaves on the joints, and beautiful palace lanterns are shining brightly. As soon as you approach the door, you can smell a very strong and pleasant aroma of watercolor.

Li Yuyan raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and looked directly at Wei Zhong. He saw that the other party seemed to be very pleased and very familiar with the job. He was also very familiar with the servants who followed closely at the door to greet the distinguished guests.

"Mr. Wei, you're here. Mr. Gong is already waiting for you in the comfortable seat on the second floor. Please come in." The servant bowed to Wei Zhong and respectfully led them into the bright hall. Her round eyes looked directly at Li Yuyan who was standing behind Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong nodded grimly and strode up to the second floor with his head held high.

Li Yuyan looked at the Caifeng Tower carefully and noticed that the guests in the hall were dressed in fancy clothes. It seemed that they were all businessmen from Baiyue City. As for the officials in power... those who could go on stage were basically waiting for them in the comfortable seats on the second floor.

"Boss Gong is the most prominent figure in Baiyue City. Although he is just a businessman, even the Admiral has to show him respect, let alone others. He is showing you respect by hosting a banquet today."
