Chapter 296: Call Me Brother
After the meal, the tables in the hall were removed. Everyone sat in the hall and listened to the Old Madam’s lecture.

Originally, she had wanted to probe the Wei family’s background, but she did not expect that the Wei family had so many rules.

In her previous life, when Xia Wanyuan was a princess, she had more rules than she did now. However, she had been used to wandering around the manor these few days, and the Wei family did not have much relation to her, so Xia Wanyuan felt very bored. She took advantage of Old Madam Wei’s intermission and left the hall.

Under the light of the night, the garden outside revealed a hazy beauty. Xia Wanyuan walked around the corridor. The fresh air in the courtyard washed away the boredom in her heart.

“You’re Xia Wanyuan? Third Sister’s daughter?” An old voice suddenly came from behind.

Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw Old Madam Wei standing not far away. Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. “Yes, Old Madam.”

“How was the banquet today?” The Old Madam looked at Xia Wanyuan and Wei Shu’s similar eyebrows and suddenly asked an unrelated question.

“The food is pretty good.” Xia Wanyuan stood calmly, and her words made Butler Zeng’s eyebrows twitch.

Miss Xia looked like a smart person, but she did not know how to seize opportunities. Even if she really felt that the food was delicious, she should not say it out loud. (italics)

The old madam stood quietly and looked at Xia Wanyuan for a while. Xia Wanyuan returned Old Madam Wei’s gaze without fear.

After a while, a smile suddenly flashed across the old madam’s eyes. Then, without saying anything, she led Butler Zeng away.

When they were eating just now, Xia Wanyuan had basically identified everyone in the Wei family. She looked at the time and realized that it was time to go back. There nothing to stay here, so she walked straight out the door.

“Wait a moment.” Wei Zimu had also walked out of the hall and waved at Xia Wanyuan.

A hint of admiration flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes as she looked at Wei Zimu, who had arrived leisurely. This Wei Zimu, who had been adopted by the Wei family, looked much more outstanding than the other so-called members of the Wei family.

“What’s the matter?” Wei Zimu had just helped her at the table, so Xia Wanyuan was much more polite to him.

“My name is Wei Zimu, and I’m considered your brother. Can I call you Sister Wanyuan?”

“Up to you.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.

“It’s my first time seeing you today, so I didn’t have time to prepare a gift for you. This is a little thing I carved myself. Just treat it as my first gift to see my sister. Wei Yu is young and has always been pampered. Don’t be calculative with her.”

With an apologetic expression, Wei Zimu handed a small box to Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan reached out to take it. “I didn’t hold it against her. Thank you.”

“Are you leaving? Let me send you out.”

“Alright.”

Wei Zimu was a person who made people feel like a clear breeze and moon at first sight. When one chatted with him, it made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze. He was just like a modest gentleman.

He accompanied Xia Wanyuan out the door. Along the way, he told Xia Wanyuan many things about the Wei family, and she learned more about them.

“How are you going to go back? Do you need me to send you?” After sending Xia Wanyuan to the door, he did not see her car. As Wei Zimu spoke, he took out his keys and prepared to drive Xia Wanyuan home.
