1.3.13: Birthday Banquet (IX)

During those events, Xiao Yunhua was currently struggling.

She had managed to get herself lost in the large Zhou mansion again.

She hadn't bothered to memorize the steps and directions that she and Qiang Yue used because she was so nervous.

And it was a well-deserved anxiety.

It seemed like she had a premonition that those events would've happened.

She regretted not asking Qiang Yue about whose birthday banquet they were going to.

Ironically, even Ni Ming was talking about the eldest Zhou young master, Zhou Ming, having a birthday banquet.

In the end, her recklessness to support an ex-target only led to her humiliation.

Even better, she may have scared off her Special Target, to which she still had no idea who it was.

She sighed and felt her legs growing tired from walking around mindlessly.

The mansion seemed to be endless and the more she walked around, the more she ended up lost.

Finally, she decided to rest.

She looked around and went inside the first room in her sight.

The door seemed old and antiqued, different than the rest of the doors.

It was even at the end of the current hallway she was in, and if she wasn't roaming around mindlessly, she would've never noticed it.

Xiao Yunhua assumed that it had been designed to be that way on purpose to ward off attention.

When she peeked inside, she found a dark room.

Pushing the door to open a bit further, she walked inside and squinted her eyes to look for a light source.

Turning on the light switch she saw, she was stunned.

In front of her was a towering, red throne with golden decoration, surrounded by beige curtains.

Around the throne seemed to be priceless treasures and paintings that looked old enough to be showcased in the museum.

"Holy shit..." the sheer amount of wealth here made her think of a European King.

Deciding to be playful, she strode over quietly and sat on the throne, surrounded by the treasures.

Placing her hand on her chin, she pretended to ponder like a true king. Or queen in her case.

She smiled childishly, but suddenly, she remembered her childhood.

Her real one consisted of feeling inferior to her stepsister, always mocked by her stepmother and ignored by her father.

Her childhood in this world was brief due to the fact that the Xiao Yunhua of this world was eight years old.

She had transmigrated at a period in which the childhood didn't even last long.

But the short memories she had with Han Mi brought tears to her eyes. "Grandmother..." She bit her bottom lip to prevent crying out.

A few minutes later, she stood up to leave.

There was a high chance that she wasn't supposed to be here, especially with the items in this room.

Whoever caught her would surely assume that she was here to steal and covet the priceless treasures for herself.

But before she could open the door and leave, she heard shuffling and she stopped.

"What are you doing here?"

Hearing the voice, she turned around to find someone that made her freeze with shock.
