Chapter 218 Wu Family
When Qiao Mo saw that there was no jealousy or greed in their eyes, he knew that they were all good people and felt more at ease.
Wu Yuanxin wanted to say something but was interrupted by the ringing of the phone on the coffee table. After hanging up the phone, he said to Qiao Mo, "Xiao Mo, your godmother and I are going to school and ask your brother to show you around the house."
"Have your brother cook for you at noon. If you feel tired, go to your room and rest. Your room is the suite on the east end of the second floor. Your godmother has already decorated it for you. If there's anything you need to change, tell her. If anything's missing, ask your brother."
"Okay, godfather, don't worry about going to school." Qiao Mo nodded. She didn't expect that the Wu family would even prepare a room for her. It seemed that they had to accept her as their goddaughter.
She and the Wu Weiqian brothers sent Wu Yuanxin and his wife to the door and then returned to the living room.
"Little sister, let us take you to visit our home." Wu Weiqian was afraid that Qiao Mo didn't even understand the structure of the house, so he wanted to take her to see it as soon as possible.
"Then I'll trouble you two brothers." Qiao Mo nodded and followed Wu Weiqian and his brother to visit the Wu family.
Wu Weiqian stood at the doorway of the living room and pointed at the bare front yard. "This is the front yard," he said. "It used to be a large lawn, lush green and soft to the touch. It was where our family took daily walks. But now there's nothing there."
"This is the small living room, which is also the place where the family gathers. This is the large living room, about 80 square meters, where my parents and relatives and friends gather."
Then the Wu Weiqian brothers took her to look around the entire house: in addition to two living rooms, one large and one small, a dining room, a kitchen and a shared bathroom on the first floor, there were three two-bedroom suites, a large study, and three single rooms that used to be for servants. Two of them were now connected and converted into activity rooms, which were filled with some sports equipment.
"Little sister, there are treadmills, dumbbells and other things here. You can exercise here in rainy and snowy weather." Wu Weijin said, pointing to the equipment.
"I see. With this activity room, we won't have to worry about having no place to exercise even if it's windy or rainy." Qiao Mo saw that the equipment inside was quite comprehensive and decided to try the treadmill one day.
Going up to the second floor, the first thing that catches your eye is a small living room with a set of sofas, a mahogany coffee table, and a set of low cabinets with tea leaves and tea sets placed on the low squares. To the north are four two-bedroom suites, to the east is a spacious study, to the west are two single rooms and a shared bathroom, and in the middle is a loft, from which you can see the panoramic view of the large living room.
"Little sister, this is your room. Take a look around and tell us if there's anything you need to change. If you don't like it, you can move to the westernmost room or the third floor." Wu Weiqian opened the door to the easternmost room, then the two doors next to it. "This is my room, and this is your second brother's room."
"I remember." Qiao Mo nodded.
On the north side of the third floor are three two-bedroom suites, a one-bedroom suite and a bathroom, and on the south side is a spacious terrace with an octagonal pavilion in the middle, which is equipped with several lounge chairs and a small round table. It is a great place to sunbathe and watch the stars.
"There are so many rooms in this house." Qiao Mo exclaimed after looking at the whole house.
"We used to have so many people visiting our house that we couldn't accommodate them unless we bought a bigger house," Wu Weiqian said with a wry smile. "But after something happened at home, those so-called relatives and friends quickly distanced themselves from us. Now, the only ones who still visit us are my youngest uncle, two distant uncles, and two uncles. But my uncle was transferred to a neighboring province a few years ago, and my uncles are in Kyoto for work, so they rarely come back."
"Time reveals a person's true character. How many people in this world can endure hardships together?" Qiao Mo shook his head and said.
